The true form? Riful of the West with Duff in her “tentacles”

[Impressions / Summary]

While Jeane had her body being awakened, her mind is still intact. Clare tries her luck and was able to persuade Jeane to return to the norm, Jeane is now half-awakened and she owes Clare her life. With Jeane back in action, this makes the battle against Duff a lil easier. Clare’s persistance suprised Riful especially when she concentrates on the Yoki and distracts Duff while Jeane moves in with her “Drill Attack” to break through his armor. Unfortunately, their hopes of killing Duff were dashed as Riful stops them, apparently with a quick move, her hand turned into tentacles and traps Jeane. While it seems like Riful is open to an attack, Clare advances and hacked her claymore on the head. Riful explodes into many “tentacles” (more like paper strips to me) and the whole area turned into rubble. In the open area, Riful reveals her true form, a titan sized Prime with lots of “tentacles”. Remembering her promise, Riful tells Clare the name of the male Prime of the North. His name is Easley(or was it Isley?) of the North and he has an alias – The Silver King. Riful disappears with Duff in a flash despite her size and Clare realizes how weak and far she is from her aim. Galatea returns back to her original mission to bring Clare back but Clare refused. As Galatea proceeds to fight Clare, Jeane steps in. Oweing her life to Clare, she gives up everything to protect Clare with her own life. Galatea stops for a while and tells them that both of them would not have survived an encounter with the Abyssal Ones. Knowing what that means, the both of them knows that the next time they meet, a fight is most likely inevitable.

Towards the end of this episode, the scene shifts to a battle in heavy snow. A group of Claymores are getting killed by titanic sized Awakened Ones.

Truly an excellent episode in Claymore 17, I didnt expect Jeane to survive and even gave up everything just to protect Clare. With Jeane as part of Clare’s group of “half-awakened” ones, I am wondering whats gonna happen next. Jeane is going to tag along with Clare and protect her. Will Clare really listen to Riful’s words and fight along their side against Easley of the North. The other Prime is not revealed yet and with such powers that Riful have, I cant imagine Clare fighting Easley…damn..cant wait for the next episode.
