Translation of the Sidestory Chapter.

Extra Scene: Dignity of a Warrior

The back the Clare chases is the sole superior existence, her name is Teresa of the Faint Smile

Page 1
Youma: Gaaa

Page 2
Teresa: Job finished,a man in black will come so just give the money to him.

Page 3
Villager: B...but...you said that there were 2 youma in the village. The other one...

Teresa: I already told you that if you want me to get the other one, the fee will be doubled. If you're fine with that I can take out the other one right now.

Villager: But...exterminating youma is already so expensive...

Teresa: Youma that mimic humans while eating human intestines...they can be exposed by those who have taken the flesh and blood of youma into their own bodies like us. That's why the amount of money must be suitable compensation...that is the price you pay for using the power of those you call Claymores.

Villager: Ugu...

Page 4
Teresa: Hurry up and decide what you're going to do because I only fulfill the jobs I'm given...

Teresa: There wasn't any grumbling over the payment?

Page 5
Handler: They meekly made the payment, for 2 youma that is...

Teresa: That's surprising. I thought that people were really sting when paying for things...

Handler: We've never had any disputes with the clients from any of your jobs. Even without knowing the organization's number one...they can probably sense that you're no ordninary warrior, Teresa of the Faint Smile.

Page 6
Handler: Addressed to you. It's been delivered.

Teresa: The Black Card...? There's no mistake? I have no idea who it could be from...

Handler: At any rate, just take it. I'm only delivering it.

Page 7
Handler: It's from Rosemary...the organization's number 2.

Teresa: I really don't get it. Why would the the organization's number 2 specifically ask for me?

Handler: No idea. Ask her yourself. She's waiting at the Godal Hill. It's unreasonable, but just hurry up and go.

Page 8
Handler: Before you arrived, she was the number...kill her before it's too late.

Teresa: Godal hill, hmmm? I see, it's a good place to watch a last sunrise.

Page 9
Teresa: You chose it because you thought so too, right Rosemary?

Page 10
Teresa: Normally the Black Card is for the persom who is closest to the half youma warrior who knows they have reached their body's limit and want their closest friend to end their life before they turn into youma...but it seems to me that you just wanted to fight me, or am I mistaken?

Rosemary: Sorry...

Page 11
Rosemary: That's exactly right Teresa.

Page 14
Teresa: Anyways...Can I at least know the reason?

Rosemary: I wanted to seriously fight you. I couldn't acknowledge relinquishing the number 1 spot without fighting...

Page 15
Teresa: I see...you put on a good face while feeling that way...Rosemary...I'd like to know one more thing, did you awaken before you sent the Black Card? or After?

Rosemary: What are you saying...Teresa...

Page 16
Rosemary: Before I sent it, of course.

Page 17
Teresa: I'm relieved. I thought it was because I didn't make it in time and felt a little disheartened.

Rosemary: Relieved...? Talking nonsense...I couldn't forgive you, You who stole the number 1 position from me...

Page 18
Rosemary: I'll kill you, I'll definitely kill you,

Page 19
Teresa: Ugh

Page 20
Teresa: Dam...

Page 21
Teresa: Ugh

Rosemary: Pathetic, Teresa...after all this is your real power...

Page 22
Rosemary: Damn, those idiots from the organization, why...why is someone like this the number one and not me? Damn it, why?

Teresa: Because I am overwhelmingly stronger.

Rosemary: Aa? You sure talk a lot even in that condition...it's true, though, that you're number one at talking imprudently.

Teresa: It's because you don't understand that you're number 2

Page 23
Rosemary: Ugaaaaa!!! Don't mess with me! If only you weren't around, I would...Eh?

Page 24
Teresa: You lose your sense of pain when you awaken? Even with that I can't really commend you on hurting yourself...

Rosemary: Damn you, How did you...?

Teresa: I didn't do anything hard, I just twisted it off with my left hand, like this.

Rosemary: Tw...twisted it off...

Page 25
Teresa: Well...let's end this, shall we...I don't usually do this..so I have to do it once in a while or I'd forget how to do it...

Rosemary: Wa...wait a minute...wh...what is this ridiculous youki...

Page 26
Teresa: I'd like to thank you for one thing...I'm glad you awakened...killing an awakened being is much easier for me than killing a comrade...

Page 27
Rosemary: Damn...mon...ster...

Teresa: We're both...monsters.

Page 28
Handler: What's with your appearance? You can't have let her awaken, right...

Teresa: You've got to be kidding, if a former number awakened I wouldn't have gotten off so easy. I fought some youma on the way back.

Page 29
Handler: You ended it right?

Teresa: Yeah, it was a fitting end for a former number one. Hey, believe me. The fact that I made it back alive should be proof.

Handler: Hmph, fine. Let's go. There's another job.

Teresa: Roger, boss.

How is it spoiler? It is not even in main story arc. It is a sidestory.

I think the author wants to take break from main story and starts to throw out sidestories. Why not start with the most popular woman, Theresa?

There is one consideration, if Theresa is very powerful, imagine Claire since she is "carrying" Theresa inside her. May not as powerful but maybe close.

Kinokuniya KLCC and The Curve MPH have vol 1-7 Claymore manga by Viz.

Still pending, afterall it is subjected to US release.

Not really, Madhouse has a tendency to create their own ending or arc for anime that hasn't finished its manga run. Look at Gunslinger Girl, one of the finest anime in 2003. It has original arc that is not featured in manga in end arc of the anime.

So my suspicion is, they will craft a new arc to finish Claymore anime. Just a speculation of course.

Sad chapter, sad chapter.

Claymore manga has been around since 2001.

Not very far. I suspected the manga was on hiatus to let the anime finished the run in October,

Oh well, I will be in the Borders Bookstore for manga discussion on Claymore on 25th August. Anyone here interested to come for a discussion?

I will see you there.

Just go to Borders and ask for it in manga section. The staff is very helpful and they will do it for you. And I don't see there is any limit for people.

Added on August 16, 2007, 4:47 pmOriginal story is slated on November. It is timed so the anime finish in October, manga will continue in November.

So Sept and Oct will be ES.

Please do a search in the forum, the infos is all in there.

3 Extra Story was published so far, 1 more to go before resumption of normal manga story in November.

The manga is serialized every month in Shonen Monthly. Yes, unlike plebian Naruto, Claymore is once a month affair. Been going on for 6 years, since 2001.

Some rumors said that author planned to finish Claymore manga in 25 volumes. So if this is correct, it would be another 5- 6 years to finish. His last work, Angel Densetsu took him 8 years to complete. (1992- 2000) Claymore is like fine wine, meant to be enjoyed slowly.

Hey man, quality takes time which I don't mind. I prefer the manga artist taking time to make good stuff, afterall Evangelion manga is still great after 10 years of serialization. I enjoy it more than the anime.

Haiya, buy it in Kinokuniya lor. The tankubon got mah. Hahahhaha. There is one Kinokuniya in KLCC. Buy it,



Kisses of good luck for your search!

Galatea, the blind Claymore. Hehehehe.

And this is what I think of your b****ing.



Sieg! Heil!
