Cold open[]

Priscilla fully awakens. She sprouts wings and a single horn on her forehead.[5]

Point of no return[]

Noel does not recognize the phenomenon of a Claymore warrior awakening. When she asks what is happening, Ilena explains that Priscilla has become an awakened being.

The purge team attacks, but Priscilla cuts off Ilena's left arm. Then Sophia and Noel are being killed with Priscilla's tentacles.[6]

After slashing Ilena and leaving her for dead, Priscilla walks past Clare as if Clare is invisible.[7] Priscilla flies away for parts unknown.[8]

Clare, recovering from her initial shock, picks up Teresa's head and hugs it. She makes a resolution.[9]

Door of opportunity[]

Clare wanders from village to village, looking for a Man in Black. One day, she finds Rubel. She holds out Teresa's head and demands that the flesh and blood of Teresa be put into her.[10]

Scene 024a
Rubel

She becomes the first volunteer in history to join the Organization.[11]

Additional details[]

Notes[]

  • The concept of awakened beings is introduced into the Claymore series with this scene
  • Noel not recognizing an awakened is a continuity issue that is later reconned with awakened hunts that occur before the Teresa era
  • As a single-digit, Noel would have hypothetically lead awakened hunts before the current story arc and acted differently, another continuity issue
  • Priscilla is later dubbed by Ophelia as the "One-horned Monster"[12]
