Cold open[]

A beautiful but unknown Claymore warrior is strangely unafraid of Dauf. But Clare notices her symbol—she is No. 3, Galatea.[7]

Rescue interrupted[]

Dauf decides to crush Clare's head and capture Galatea. But when Galatea smiles at Dauf, she seems to cast a spell over him. He loses his grip, dropping Clare into Galatea's waiting arms.[8]

Scene 044a
Losing control

Dauf tries questioning Galatea, but she ignores him as she tries to leave. Angered for being snubbed, he fires rods at Galatea, but they all mysteriously miss.[9]

Clare guesses that Galatea is controlling Dauf through a sensing technique (Yoma Energy Alignment and Control).[10]

Round II[]

Galatea tries to leave, but Dauf caves-in the entrance by launching one big rod at the ceiling. Galatea now admits to Dauf having a brain.[11]

In the ensuing fight, Dauf's rods continue to miss Galatea, who then cuts off his hand, reversing Dauf's promise to tear off Galatea's limbs. Clare is amazed.[12]

Spectator[]

The young girl appears on the scene, but not as a participant. She admires Galatea, but admits she does not take much pride in Dauf as a domestic partner.[13]

Additional details[]

Notes[]

  • Artistic license is taken in depicting the castle corridor. Its size increases many-fold from Scene 43 to the current scene to accommodate the increasing awakened size of Dauf
