I read the manga and watch the anime. It was awesome, but in only one place it
doesn't make sense at all. When Priscilla killed Teresa.

I know, Priscilla was no 2 and she was too powerful, and she's got awakened in
that second. But still we are talking about Teresa! Her best ability was that
she could read the moves of her opponent. right?

How is that possible for Priscilla to kill Teresa?


@Memor-X was right, when Priscilla killed Teresa, Priscilla was already in an
awakened state. It's true that Teresa could read the movement of her opponent
because Teresa can sense the strength and speed of yoma energy flowing through
her opponent's body. However, when Teresa fought Priscilla, Teresa couldn't
read her movements because there was too much yoma power coming from all over
Priscilla's body.

But of course, Teresa was still able to match her. She was using just enough
yoma power for her eye color to change to counter Priscilla. However, when
Priscilla passed her limit, she begged for Teresa to kill her and Teresa
turned back to her normal state, seeing Priscilla on her knees. At this point
Teresa probably couldn't read Priscilla's movements and let her guard down for
a moment leading to Priscilla being able to kill her.

In [your comment](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/36055/claymore-
how-is-that-possible-for-prescilla-to-kill-teressa#comment48478_36055), it's
true that when Clare awakened and became Teresa, she could beat Priscilla.
However, Teresa was that strong only because of Clare's feelings toward
Teresa.

Teresa wasn't as focused as she normally would've been because Clare made her
a bit soft. Her friend even said the old Teresa would've killed Priscilla when
she was lying there crying. The old Teresa wouldn't have let it get that far.
