CLAYMORE
Episode 17

title sign:
Please... save our comrades...
They're all... still alive...
Hurry up and awaken already, Number Nine, Jeane.
Why you...
If the Dweller of the Deep has no intent on fighting,
then that still gives us a chance.
For that, we absolutely need one more force with us.
You head over and rescue Jeane.
And if it's too late,
end Jeane's life with your own hands.
Damn it!
I'm too late?!
Kill me...
Please...
Hurry...
Her body has already awakened,
yet her mind hasn't?!
I can't... suppress it any longer...
It's okay...
I can... die as a human now...
Come back!
You can do it!
What are you... saying...
Once we... go over the limit...
...there's no way... we can turn back...
Don't worry!
You can do it!!!
The chances of turning back to normal after going over the limit aren't zero!
Im-Impossible.
Hurry... and... kill me...
Don't give up!
You can do it!!!
Come back!!!
Please...
Let me...
...die as a human...
My fingers... they're...
You've half-awakened.
I don't know too much about it,
but for now, you get to remain a human.
It felt as if something was pulling me.
I tried what Galatea did with me.
It's a miracle it went smoothly.
I need your help.
That is why I came here.
Me?
Not good.
Galatea can't hold out much longer.
My name is Jeane.
I'll be glad to help you.
You know, I think you did rather well.
You nearly went all out in releasing your powers.
At that rate, you'd have almost gone over your limit.
Things like that are what I expected of the highest ranked warriors.
Your release of Yoma powers was very impressive and so was your control of it.
Now then, can I have you awaken?
I'm counting on you, Duff.
God...
You guys are too slow...
Huh?
Sorry, it took me a while.
Are you okay?
I can't say that I'm fine,
but I'll do what I can.
Wow, you turned her back, as well?
You guys sure do some interesting things.
If you want me to hold them off while you guys run,
I'll gladly accept the job.
I owe you my life.
Use my life as you wish, when you wish.
The adversary isn't someone that you can do anything about by yourself no matter how hard you try.
Number Forty-Seven and I will stop that big guy's movements.
You concentrate on striking your claymore into his throat.
It's the perfect job for you, as you have the fastest and most powerful strike attack of all the warriors.
Use your life for yourself, okay?
Now then...
Here we go!
Ouch!
I see.
You little...
Huh?
If there are two attacking him,
he loses concentration,
and her skill becomes usable again.
Thirteen...
Fourteen...
Fifteen...
Sixteen...
Seventeen...
Eighteen...
Nineteen...
Twenty...
Twenty-one...
Highest number of rotations reached...
I will strike him with every ounce of my strength!
Now!
Strike him, Jeane!
What?!
...dangerous...
This move is dangerous!
And the fight is over...
It was so intense; I thoroughly enjoyed it!
My... My hand...
Comrades are very important, after all.
I would love it if you could share some of that friendship with me.
It hurts, man!
My hand... My hand...
Excuse me!
Shut up already.
I'm trying to appreciate this sentimental moment here.
But, look!
My hands... Both of them...
For all of your massive strength,
you sure take a very long time at recovery and regeneration.
Oh well.
At least, it's all settled now.
All that's left is to take the time and awaken them-
Oh, what is wrong with you?
Please don't.
It's clear we won.
It's not my objective to kill you guys.
I just want to inflict pain so that you can awaken.
Please, be understanding.
I really don't want to kill you.
Jeane, are you still alive?
Yeah, somewhat.
Can you do that move of yours one more time?
It's not a move I can use many times,
but I'll try my best... to do it one more time...
Sorry, but I'll take you up on your words.
Entrust your life to me.
That was my intention from the very beginning.
Forgive me.
You guys really don't learn, do you?
Duff.
Take them on but don't kill them, okay?
I'll create the path for you.
Jeane, you strike your claymore into his throat.
Here goes!
You little bastard!
Well, for borrowing someone else's arm,
she's doing rather well.
Eat this!
You little...
But you know...
...clearly it's an overuse of Yoma power...
It's like it's her completely awakened right arm that's in control of her actions.
Overall, she makes too many unnecessary moves.
Not ready, yet?
It's not ready yet, Jeane?
Twenty-one...
Highest number of rotations reached!
Yes, it's ready?
Clare!
Holy shit!
This one's twisted her arms out of nowhere already!
God!
You're annoying!
You go to hell!
Clare!
Trust me.
I will create a path for you no matter what.
I've said already...
...that this life belongs to you...
I will abide by your orders, no matter how reckless they are.
Hmm, she stands up again.
Either way, I don't think she has any tricks left.
Heh, you just won't die, eh?
Go, Jeane!
Strike him with your attack!
How stupid!
I'll clobber you and end this!
Concentrate...
Read the flow of his Yoki...
...and direct my flash sword to only those locations!
What?
I don't believe it!
She managed to have her berserk-like right arm...
...pass by her comrade and land her attacks only on Duff's arms...
Screw you!
Forgive me.
This is all that I can do now.
Do it, Jeane!!
I shall completely slice off that head of yours!
Sorry.
I wish I could let you enjoy the moment of victory,
but I can't really let that happen.
After all, he is my man...
I'll consider this the one strike you needed to land on me.
What?!
Aww...
I wanted to end things before it came to this.
Oh, Duff.
Sorry for leaving you like that.
I can't have you die on me, you know?
You're like the only one who can accept me without breaking, you know?
Ah, yes, yes, like I promised.
"If you can even land one strike on me,"
"I'll tell you the name of the guy in the North."
Okay.
I'll tell you.
I mean, you put a lot of effort into this.
As for his name...
The Northern Lands sealed away by snow and ice... Alphonse...
He is their Silver King... Easley...
Easley... of the Northern Lands of Alphonse...
If you wish to defeat that guy, then join me.
That is your only way.
I'll be waiting for you, then.
See you again.
Something as gigantic as that...
...just disappeared?
Damn it!
This is the power of the ones called the Dwellers of the Deep?
It's too far...
Everything's absolutely too far...
Now then.
Allow me to return to my original mission.
Number Forty-Seven.
I was told to take you back to the organization.
It'd be great if you followed me back without any resistance.
If not... you understand, right?
I have no intention of returning to the organization right now,
for I have something to do that I must put first.
In other words,
it's reasonable for me to take that to mean you want to return to the organization as a corpse?
Jeane, what's the meaning of this?
Sorry, but I owe her my life.
I just decided to use my life for her.
That would mean you're defying the organization, as well.
I have lost my life once already.
I have no intentions on going against my morals to prolong it.
Low-ranked warriors like you two...
...can't possibly survive an encounter with Dwellers of the Deep.
And basically, I had no intention to search the bodies that were destroyed by those Dwellers of the Deep.
I don't know whether I'll be your friend or foe next time we meet.
Either way though, live on until then.
Fall back!
Fall back! Fall back! Fall back!
Eva!
Kate was killed!
Lucia!
Reunion once again,
Conspiracies once again,
The signs of a storm.
Next episode, "The War in the North - I".
