Cold open[]

The villagers are confused by the Claymore warriors fighting each other. Noel is angry with Priscilla.

In a soliloquy, Sophia steps outside the inn and reveals the purge team's plan—Priscilla was suppose to ambush Teresa from behind. Instead, Priscilla choose to announced her presence and fight Teresa head-on.[5]

Confronts Priscilla[]

Teresa instructs Clare to leave the area. Teresa then asks Priscilla why she did not attack from behind. Priscilla replies that she must fight fairly. Then reproaches Teresa for killing humans. Priscilla attacks. During the combat, Teresa cannot sense Priscilla's Yoma power.[6]

Teresa and Clare face Priscilla

Ilena's explanations[]

Explanation I[]

Ilena and Noel watch from the wreckage of Teresa's room. Ilena tells Noel that while Sophia's strength, Ilena's speed and Noel's agility are greater than Teresa's, Teresa's ability to sense Yoma energy (Preemptive Sensing) makes her the best warrior.

Ilena speculates that Priscilla's Yoma Energy Control, which turns off one's aura, will render Teresa's sensing useless.[7]

Explanation II[]

But Teresa's use of ordinary sword technique fends off Priscilla. Overwhelmed by the "ordinary," Priscilla soon fights blindly. Ilena realizes that Teresa does not need her special ability to beat Priscilla. Priscilla was outmatched all along. Noel becomes confused by Ilena's successive explanations.[8]

See Versatility.[9]

Additional details[]

Notes[]

  • In Scene 12, Orsay explains Teresa's nickname by her face being unmarred from releasing Yoma energy. Scene 20 gives another origin of Teresa's nickname—Teresa's smile is the only obvious thing about her
