View Full Version : Claymore - Q & A
I knew what flashbacl you were talking about what I was saying is that flashback can't be real because we see a Claymore killing that Yoma and we know that it was Teresa who killed that Yoma but it was in a village not in Clare's house and he was hiding behind Clare
You're joking right? Clare came about by divine conception then? The scene I linked to showed how Clare became an orphan when a youma killed her parents and brother. Teresa killed the youma that orphan Clare had been travelling with for a long time. I see no problem with 2 youmas beings in Clare's human life - sucks to be her though [no wonder she joined willingly].
So, are there any other parts of the manga that are fake according to your expert analysis? You know - parts Yagi didn't really intend to spend hours and hours drawing (I'm sure someone had a gun to his head and was threatening him at the time).

Take it easy bro take it easy
I'm not an expert and i'm not pretending to be one. I'm just a fan like you
What i'm saying is very simple:
Clare's flashback:
http://www.onemanga.com/Claymore/3/36/
What we know that happened:
http://www.onemanga.com/Claymore/12/25/
As you see the situations are very different, in the first it seemed sthat the Yoma was killed just after he killed Clare's family but we know that he spend a lot of time travelling with her. In my opinios this can lead to 3 different interpretations:
1- Maybe Clare has tryied to forget all the time she spend with the Yoma being abused and that is why in her memory the Yoma killed her family and is killed rigth after that , she remembers the abuse but only barely.
2- Maybe the Claymore that killed the Yoma that is on top of Clare was killed rigth after that by the other Yoma that would travell with Clare from that day foward. So that memory of Clare happens before she met Teresa( this one seems unlikely to me)
3- Or maybe Yagi just hadn't tougth of Teresa by the time he made Clare's memory

You need not quote me the Teresa arc - I am well aware of it. Claiming that this flashback is 'fake' is as silly as claiming that the Teresa Arc is fake. Both were drawn by Yagi.
It cannot be alternative 3 you proposed because Raki was already introduced, and his purpose is act as a bridge between Clare and Pricilla. Pricilla cannot exist without Teresa, therefore Teresa was concieved of at the same time as Raki - ergo before Yagi wrote page 1. The other proof of this is that Teresa (or her head at least) is what makes Clare special and ultimately able to kill whoever the final boss ends up being.
We only know small segments of Clare's childhood. Cramming them together into a matter of days of silly. We see in the flashback a Claymore killing her youma-nized brother. The next page we see the village deciding to kick her out. What happened after that? We have no idea. For example:
- she could have met a youma while trying to get to anoother town.
- she could have been found by a MiB who started taking her east, and she escaped on route only to meet with the new youma.
Basically anything is possible in the interval between being kicked out of her village and when we see her next in the Teresa arc - obviously some time has passed (unless it was her parents abusing her into muteness instead of the youma).
Suggesting that Clare does not remember something like a youma killing her parents and brother acurately though, while remembering all about Teresa, and further suggesting that what Yagi wrote is a lie, is just not convincing to me.

The, basically the Yoma could even have killed Clare's family in a time she was too young to remember it well and then spend some years travelling with her before being killed by Teresa

Woah... how did this end up from beginning as a question about Clare recognising Priscilla's Yoki to Clare's past? :confused:
And not to butt in or anything (MisterJB and Cyclone) but the way I remember it is that:
1. Clare's parents are killed by a Yoma that had disguised itself as her brother. Evidenced by the tears that are running down the Yoma's face before it is killed by a Claymore, most likely not Teresa.
2. Clare is kicked out of the village.
3. (Hypothesis) Clare wanders around and is eventually found by the Yoma that makes her follow him around abuses her for, say, around about a year, or at least several months.
4. Teresa comes to save the day!!! :D
This is just my opinion.

Guys...i didn't have the pacience to read all the threads...so if i repeat a question...i'm sorry.... Now can anyone tell me what are the men in black?...i know their purpose and all that stuff (i read the manga 4 times and saw the anime 2 times) but what species are they (theiy are not yoma...that's for sure, neither male claymore... awekened...little chance...and since they don't age...not human). The best i could come up with is that they are something that gave birth to yoma (the genetic base) but that is far fetched...the answer is not in the manga (i know it for sure)...has everyone read anything?.....i've just registered so bear with me.

Alrigth, let's try to start a new debate around here.
I don't know if this was ever pointed by someone but:
The Organization doesn't seem to undertasnd on vital point in the Claymore making process.
They use dead Yoma to make Claymores because Yoma are in generally stronger than human, rigth?
Then, what they should use instead is the flesh of dead Claymores, it would probrably make much stronger Claymores.
A good example is Clare, a warrior ranked number 47 but she could beat guys like Rigardo, a former number 2. And i know she had to Awaken almost all of her body but still a number 47 beating a number 2 should be impossible.
What do you guys think?

Um..... the flesh inside of Clare is the flesh of the most powerful being in the entire history of Claymore, both past and current. So it is not just any claymore's flesh that makes her that way lol, it is Teresa.
Then, what they should use instead is the flesh of dead Claymores, it would probrably make much stronger Claymores.
I would think dead Claymores would be a rarity. Most seem to awaken, becoming ABs which are costly to hunt & exterminate. And up until the story as we know it begins with Clare & Raki, there were few, if not an insignificant number of, warriors killed in action to allow such fusion of flesh on a large scale.
And, if your theory is correct, shouldn't the flesh of ABs be the most ideal choice? Because they are much stronger than yoma & represent a Claymore when he/she has exceeded her own ability to withstand yoki?

Xeratal: But the rule should aply to all Claymores, if someone killed Miria and used her flesh to make a Claymore, then the CLaymore would have the potencial to use the phantom speed for example.
Shelter: I think that in a hunt of an AB, it was very usual for Claymores to get killed and as Ab don't eat Claymore's guts it shouldn't be too hard to find the bodys.
But the problem with Ab flesh is that the Claymore who got the flesh of an Ab should have the urge to Awaken much stronger than a regular Claymore.
I think it's something like this:
Human+Yoma=Stronger Human
Human+Stronger Human=Much Stronger Human
Okay, I'm not too sure if this question has already been addressed or not, but this is about the claymore named Rakel/Raquel. Does the databook actually put a face with this name? http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/ctina08/Claymore/rakel.jpg That is the girl that is assumed to be Rakel/Raquel. However, I found an inaccuracy in this. http://i465.photobucket.com/albums/rr20/ctina08/05.jpg Notice that Jean is looking at the stain of where Katea used to be and the girl dead and full of holes while saying these names. Jean doesn't have any knowledge of what happened to the girl that escaped, although she COULD assume that she died. So, it is my belief that the girl in the corner is really Rakel/Raquel. Unless. of course, someone can provide proof otherwise...?
I know this is a really minor question, but it's bugging the crap out of me. :uhoh: Please let me know if you find anything about this.
I don't think anyone has ever looked into this, my thoughts on it was that Jean knew that the other warrior probably lived but most likley died, and on her travels with Clare, Clare probably told Jean what happened if Jean asked her or something like that.

I've no idea, sorry, it's probrably a plot error but now that we are talking about the witch's maw then let me say this; when Galatea appears, she picks Clare and if Dauph hadn't stopped her, she would leave Jean as a prisoner of Riful. So, Galatea didn't cared about Jean at all.

Thats true, Jean would be an awakened being and part of Riful's army right now if that had happened.

Thanks anyway :D
Hunting parties are usually groups of 4. I always considered Katea and Raquel were the 2 that died in the room with Riful, and a 3rd un-named Claymore was the one that died in Clare's hands.

That would be the most likely scenario. Otherwise Yagi is just tapping on the knowledge of the reader: assuming Rakel/ Raquel died in Clare's arms & Katea awakened, we're just treated to Jean's thoughts subject to what we know. That dead warrior is the unnamed Claymore.
Actually, this is quite a substantial error...Didn't know why I never noticed it before.

What error? I don't recall the manga ever putting a face to the name either. Did I miss something?

Hmmm...:confused:
You're probably right: because I'm not exactly sure where Rakel's name became associated with the dying warrior Clare met. Can someone check if her name was mentioned in the Anime? Because if it was, it would solve our search for her mistaken identity.
If the Anime doesn't reveal anything either, then I think I was influenced by this Wikipedia article on Claymore characters that apparently clarifies who Rakel is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Claymore_characters
Hope this clears things up a bit.
Hey guys, didn't we create the Rakel name from the Raki disscussion because we were talking about what would happen to Raki if he ended up with Rachel.:heh:

..saying that Galatea didn't\don't care about her camarades (in general) and Jeane (in particular)...i have to :bash: you two :p
Galatea was already busy "nursing" Teresa's daughter Clare who gave her problems all the time : had to save her from Dauf's hands, she don't eat enough, then stop her from awakeneing two times, tried to prevent her from attacking Riful (if you notice that was the main objective of Galatea all the fight - don't fight Riful). :heh:
To the point :
To be honest Clare didn't cared for Jeane in particular.She didn't know that was Jeane until Galatea told her that she has to save Nr. 8.HER CARE was for a <camarade>.Same for Galatea when she entered Witch's Maw.If she didn't cared she may have chosed to stay put and and wait for Clare and Jeane do die awaken and return with the report to The ORG : Mission Complete without any effort...next mission please!Instead she put herself in danger in an attept to save\do what she could.
Unlike Jeane and Clare she know who lived there : ABYSSAL RIFUL...and her "teddy bear" Dauf.Galatea always was calculated and most likely thought that she has barely enough chances to save Clare.Just because he didn't try to help at first Jeane don't mean she didn't care, is just that Galatea wasn't strong\capable enough in the given situation to do anything to help her.
Also a few observation :
1. When Galatea report Jeane and Clare death, The ORG didn't belived her so they know that Galatea's wasn't so heartless.(to just let her camarades to die).
2.Alicia NR1 was at that momment barely able to do 50% damage to Riful.To ask Galatea to go against Riful is to much.
3.Galatea was at blank range to Jeane.Since she is an EYE and also can read emotions she know all the time Jeane mental status.I doubt she was impassible to Jeane suffering just below her.Jeane was already in the middle of the awakening process for what Galatea didn't know any cure...until she tried to save Clare.
NOTE : When Riful see Jeane well with Clare she was surprised that Clare "turned her back"(Riful : "Oh...You...I thought you have awakened?...).So when Riful pop-up behind Galatea at first, Jeane was already in her awakening process.Sure that Jeane would awaken Riful left her to see the fight above.Otherwise her remark would be pointless.My assumption that Jeane was close or past her limits when Galatea entered Witch's Maw.For Galatea at that moment Jeane was "dead".
Galatea was UNABLE to help Jeane at first.Only after a few rule changes in the game was ABLE do do something :
1.Riful decided not to fight.
2.Galatea learned that can turn back from awakening a camarade with her manipulation.
3.Jeane was left alone by Riful.
Galatea knowed that Jeane was already beyond her limits but not awakened yet.
...so Galatea send Clare to help Jeane...or to kill her if she already awaken.
Luckly Clare is a copy claymore!
Both Jeane and Clare (and in the future not only them) are in debt to Galatea for using yoki manipulation for the first time to allow a claymore to turn back from across their limits with the help of a camarade.
At least for this "breaktrought" Galatea deserve thanks...
Galatea did ALL she could to help Clare and Jeane.
Calculate every chance, used all her abilities and used any opportunity in order to allow them to survive.Went near his limits.Created a new application for yoki manipulation to help her camarades.
She also respected Jeane and Clare decision not to follow her back to The ORG.In the end puts herself in danger to be purged just to allow Clare and Jeane enjoy a few moments of freedom.Jeane herself said : (Chapter 49 page 28) : "Thanks.We owe for this one, Galatea!".Next page Galatea ask them to stay ALIVE until they meet again.
So Galatea CARED. ;)

Jesus, we got hit with a hammer and it hurts very much:)
I understand you are a fan of Galatea and I respect that. She is on my top 10.
But the truth is that she was ready to leave Jean in there.
Yes, she was up against an Abyssal One and yes, Jean was almost Awakening but still she was a little selfish.
Clare, Miria, Helen and Deneve faced Riful to save two Claymores who probrably are going to become their enemies in the future.
Still, she was very brave to bring Miata and Clarice to Rabone just to kill Agatha

In a manga like Bleach, leaving someone behind is indeed a bit selfish and cowardly as none of the good guys there seem to actually be capable of dying. This, however, is Claymore.
In real life and in Claymore, picking fights you cannot win is stupid, not brave. For example, say you can't swim and you're at the beach and see someone drowning. Is it brave to dive in after them? I would argue no. Firstly, your chances of helping the victim is minimal, and more importantly, the odds are high you'll be drowning very quickly too and thus also in need to help. Thus, any person who can swin will have 2 drowning bodies to fish out instead of one - doubling their work load. In that situation, running away to fetch someone who can swim is probably the best course of action.
Consider the consequences of Galatea trying to help Jean and failing before you judge her. The organization loses their number 3 Claymore. The Organization loses their eye. Galatea will be tortured into awakening creating an uber powerful awakened being who may or may not side with Riful. The hunting of this new awakened being will require more of the Organization's resources, cost human lives as both food for the awakened being, and as sacrifices to the Organization in little girls who are to become new Claymores to fill her spot.
Keeping in mind she knows all this, and also knows that her chances of success are pretty much 0%, how can you say the responsible course of action is to fight?
Discretion really is the better part of valor sometimes.
We, the Acolytes of Galatea, understand this about our Goddess, thus we the enlightened can appriciate the perfection of her reasoning. So please, study her teachings, before commiting more blasphemy.

I agree with Cyclone. Galatea going after Jean is suicide. It is only after Galatea confirms that Riful is not going to interfere that she rethinks her plan to involve Jean. Her initial plan to escape with Clare was still super risky as she didn't know Riful's intentions. Going in to help Clare is incredibly brave. Really Galatea should have run away the second she sensed Riful. But with her praise of Riful's youki suppression, she may not have known until she was already in the witches maw. Fact: Galatea keeping her cool is incredibly attractive.

That is from "Blood +" second season I think; it's just a coincidence that the girl sitting in the tree is also called Irene, and if memory serves well I think that the other person in the screenshot, regardless of his hairstyle, was a guy; can't remember his name though...

The dubs aren't that bad I was expecting alot worse, saying that once you've watched the japanese version the english voice acting just sound corny.

here's my idol Teresa in eng dub in action !!!
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=kUz2SCAmpkg
ehhh...sorry that is just terrible voice acting imo.
Lol - I own the DVD, yet I just watched the dub for the first time on youtube. heh. Ah well - whatever.
In terms of voice acting per se, Teresa's not too bad - she's supposed to be cold sounding at first (Raki on the other hand is EVEN WORSE than the japanese one [I didn't think that was possible]). The real problem though was the script. The lines everyone was saying didn't feel organic, and worse yet, there are places the meaning was slightly re-worked for no reason at all. For example, when Teresa is killing the 7 youma and about to kill the 7th, the japanese version has her going basically: "how many is that... 1... 2...3 ... 4... 5... 6... but I sensed 7. Oh no what will I do if I can't find it? Hmmm... Whatever will I do? JUST KIDDING [#7 dead]". She was just goofing off in another words. In the english version, it was like it was a challenge to her. They removed her twisted sense of fun and replaced it with pure coldness.
Ah well, no matter, there's a reason why I set the default langauge on my DVD players to japanese...

Riful: W-W-What did you just called me!!??
#8 Beatrix: Oh no!, he shouldn't have said that!
#15 Criselda: *gulp* he'll be murdered...

#4 Rena: choose me!
#24 Lena: Don't choose her Isley-san choose me!
All Claymore Girls: No! Me! Me! Me!
#6 Kurusaki: SHUT-UP!! why are you all acting like this when it comes to
Isley!?
#31 Criselda: Are you blind? can't you see his hot!?
All Claymore Guys: Damn that Isley thinking his all cool!
#47 Marcus: why didn't my parents gave me a handsome face? *sniff* T_T
----Its really hard to be a handsome guy.----
Episode 3 "The Wonder Twins Gag"
A black cloaked organization guy wearing a hat was walking in the hallway when suddenly.... someone bumped into him.
Luciela: Oh sorry about that sir!
Black Cloaked Organization Guy: Didn't I told you not to run in the hallway!
Raphaela/Rafaela: Y-Yes Sir!
Black Cloaked Organization Guy: Now go to your room, class is about to
start!
Luciela & Raphaela/Rafaela: Yes Sir!

Black Cloaked Organization Guy: Luciela, Raphaela/Rafaela !!
----The Black Cloaked Organization Guy rushed into the room.----
Black Cloaked Organization Guy: Luciela, Raphaela/Rafaela where's my
hat!?
Luciela: It wasn't me Raphaela/Rafaela did it!
Raphaela/Rafaela: No it wasn't me! she did it!
Black Cloaked Organization Guy: Just give it back or your both grounded!
#20 Christina: Sir~~ I saw Luciela hid it inside her desk!
Luciela & Raphaela/Rafaela: Your dead bitch
----After class...----
Luciela: Lets get it on bitch!
#20 Christina: Ahhh No!
----After Examination Day----
Black Cloaked Organization Guy: Once again our Wonder Twins got a
perfect grade!
#37 Marian: same as always...
#40 Max: *gossip* I heard a story that those two are cheating.
#37 Mirian: huh really?
Luciela: what are you two talking about?
#37 Mirian & #40 Max: oh nothing! nothing!
Raphaela/Rafaela: *talking to her self* I'm the one that should only got a
perfect grade... Luciela is just asking answers to me
telepathically... :mad:
----No wonder in the original manga version that Raphaela/Rafaela got her scar was because she's just a push-over and can't control Luciela's behavior or Luciela is just too Bossy? :eyebrow: ----

Rigaldo's nickname hasn't changed from claymore to awakened, so I figure Isley's wouldn't either. Besides - Isley's eyes will only be silver as long as he is a Claymore (ABs seem to revert to original color), so unless he got the name from his hair, it's probably his old Claymore name too.

Hello guyz. First of, this is not related to Claymore but anyway, could you help me out? I've been looking for a anime pic that I lost. I trying to retrieve it, but I'm stuck. It shows:
- anime babe (probably nude, general color is white/light color)
- it's nude but not explicit (probably)
- that anime babe is lying chest down on top of a black bigbike (I think)
- the background is dark (possibly night)
- anime girl has dark/black hair
It's a bit embarrassing but could you please help me out. I've been looking for this for six years. SIX YEARS (the era of diskettes, I shouldn't have trusted those damn things).

Well, the picture that popped into my mind immediately was from Tenjou Tenge (http://www.onemanga.com/Tenjou_Tenge/35/02-03/) for some reason. She's blonde though so I'm don't know if it's the right one. It's a black and white though - so maybe someone colored it [wrongly]. Can't think of any other art worth searching for 6 years for (since TT is monthly IIRC, chapter 35 would be about 6 or so years old...).

As you are looking for an older image, that series is definitely old enough. It could also be any one of the Gantz covers which usually feature cg girls and bikes. I can understand though. Some images just stick with you forever. These ones stuck with me;

My guess though it was probably something fan drawn and thus will be next to impossible to track down unless we figure out what series it's from. Try searching one of the anime databases to see if you can find the show - or at least a similar looking character so we can make beter guesses.

Lol - I own the DVD, yet I just watched the dub for the first time on youtube. heh. Ah well - whatever.
Usually I prefer dubs so I don't have to watch the screen at all times. But that is some pretty crummy script reading. Disappointing.
Here's a stupid question. What's with the names? Did Yagi use European names for the Claymores originally or is that a feature of the language adaption?
Here's a stupid question. What's with the names? Did Yagi use European names for the Claymores originally or is that a feature of the language adaption?
Yes, Yagi choose western names for the characters, and they have - in large part -- stayed unchanged. For example Clare is クレア whose pronounciation is KUREA (this kind of basterdization of english words in japanese is normal since japanese does not have as many consonants and those they do have must be followed by a vowel [1 exception].)
Irene's was changed slightly.
And there is some debate as to what we should do with a couple names: RUNE (could be the french pronouciation of Reneé), Rubel (which is probably 'Louvre') and Deitrich (since it's a boys name and all).
But on the whole, the names are pretty much unchanged.
As for liking dubs... well... get well soon :p

Lol, it has been quite a while since NSW has been around here :D.
Well, no one asked this question, but I may have found an answer. Deneve's name might really be Deneb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deneb).
Deneb (α Cyg / α Cygni / Alpha Cygni) is the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus and one of the vertices of the Summer Triangle. It is the 19th brightest star in the night sky, with an apparent magnitude of 1.25. A white supergiant, Deneb is also one of the most luminous stars known. It is, or has been, known by a number of other traditional names, including Arided and Aridif, but today these are almost entirely forgotten.
Well, the katakana doesn't exactly match. The ヴ is a makeshift "V" sound as opposed to the "bu" sound but I thought it was an interesting thing to present and felt like sharing.

It's possible, but as you say - the katakana does not match. Yagi explicitly choose and went out of his way to use the 'v' sound as opposed to 'bu'. If it was the other way around and he used 'bu' instead, then either reading would be acceptable, but not 'v' to 'bu'.
Besides, I like the name Deneve.

So I just saw all 26 episodes of Claymore in three days' time and MAN, I gotta say, what a crappy job they did adapting the manga to anime. I am way more pleased reading the manga (another marathon job) and as I quickly move toward the latest volume I've been able to find (86), I wanted to ask if anyone knows what the last volume will be. I read somewhere that there will be 90. Could someone confirm/refute/expand on this?
Two more questions: One, any suggestions as to what thread I should go to VENT about what a horrible spit-in-the-face conclusion they gave to the anime?? If it weren't for the manga I would have gone bonkers with frustration. Two, any good recommendations for any action, mystery and/or just plain interesting or thought-provoking animes out there with a planned-out plot and an ending that makes sense and lets me sleep at night??? Seriously, good art, animation and plot and character development are crucial for good anime, but bad endings really give me a lot of grief!!

86 volumes, I think you mean 86 chapters. There will also be a lot more than 90 chapters as the story is not even close to finished. Actually right now we are on volume 16. I hope this helps.:)

Chapters it is then :) Thanks, btw - I guess I'll just have to be patient...!
In chapter 2, when Clare is attacked by a group of Yoma she says that they are incomplete.
Anybody knows what she meant by that?
She probably mean't that none of them were fully grown or something like that.
Thank you
:confused:That's strange, wouldn't that indicate that Clare knew about how the Organization makes Yoma
I don't think so, she probably had killed a lot of yoma before the series had even started. So she would have known which ones were full grown compared to which were not.

Yup, double checked the raw; it is the yoma saying it.
The kanji used is 半端 【はんぱ】 <read HANPA> remnant; fragment; incomplete set; fraction; odd sum; incompleteness; (P)
So they don't really say half breed, but more of a derogatory word to indicate they are real youma and she is not.

I picked up on the manga right in the middle of the 24 Claymores' fight with Rigaldo (I just saw how the anime covered the events from the beginning to that point), so I'm not sure if any chapters has covered this but: just how disfigured is a Claymore's body after the Yoma blood insert?? Is it shown anywhere? Does the manga or any other reliable source discuss the topic amply (not just hinted) anywhere? I'm kinda curious after a forum member cleverly mentioned that Claymores' body scars (or whatever) must be from the breasts down since Miata breast feeds (or whatever) from Clarice.
Another question: are there any instances where Teresa releases more than 10% of her Yoki? To my knowledge the most Yoki she has released was when she fought Pricilla.

I picked up on the manga right in the middle of the 24 Claymores' fight with Rigaldo (I just saw how the anime covered the events from the beginning to that point), so I'm not sure if any chapters has covered this but: just how disfigured is a Claymore's body after the Yoma blood insert?? Is it shown anywhere? Does the manga or any other reliable source discuss the topic amply (not just hinted) anywhere? I'm kinda curious after a forum member cleverly mentioned that Claymores' body scars (or whatever) must be from the breasts down since Miata breast feeds (or whatever) from Clarice.
Another question: are there any instances where Teresa releases more than 10% of her Yoki? To my knowledge the most Yoki she has released was when she fought Pricilla.
The scar has never been seen, but Walter and I especulated that the scar starts at the middle of their necks (you never see the neck of a claymore in the whole manga from the front (not even the ghosts) and probably continues all the way down to their navel, it should look like a huge ugly cut, from an operation in which they are cut wide open and inserted youma organs. Breasts should not be affected by it.
Teresa also released youki against Rosemary

Hm, don't you think the mark of the Yoma procedure would be more grotesque? I mean, those guys who saw Teresa's body (the most indicative reaction to a Claymore's body) seemed pretty disgusted by it. I don't know: I think of some rough, bumpy (or bubbly), purplish surface through their belly and navel. Maybe something that would resemble a Yoma's belly...
In any case I'm kinda worried that the scar will never be shown since I don't see how Yagi would make the mark relevant at these heights: it seems unimportant for the progress of the story by now. I don't know what grand revelation could come from knowing more about the mark. Other than responding to fans' morbid curiosity, I can't see how he would tie it in.

Well if one of the more grotesque theories about the head being used was true, then it would kinda have to be revealed since Clare doesn't have a yoma inside her. There was also a very long argument about the nature of the unbreakable swords which turned out to be a plot point so i wouldn't worry too much. The nature of the suppressant pills still hasn't been revealed either yet, it's all on a big list i'm sure chiba has.

Hm, don't you think the mark of the Yoma procedure would be more grotesque?
What makes you think that a line from the middle of the neck to the navel can't look grotesque?, I never talked about things like the texture or the color, I my say is even possible that the wound is not completely closed and is constantly emiting liquids and the black cloth part (that is unnecesarily long inside the suit) is there to prevent the white suit from getting stained by those liquids. also, the shape of the wound acording to this theory would also fit right with the neck cloth's length and shape.
the truth is that we've checked all 86 chapters and not in a single picture the neck of an unawakened claymore has been shown no matter her outfit, even the trainees who doesnt have a symbol or armor, has the neck cloth part, while most humans/awakened beings etc show their necks all the time. you can check it yourself.

@Sleepy Speculator: Actually the list is getting shorter and shorter with each chapter! Of course we have the DoD group who was just introduced and we have next to no information about them. By "just introduced" I mean they were introduced more than 7 months ago (whoah). But at the moment we have every pre-time skip character accounted for! Isley was the last of the big hitters. We haven't seen Alicia/Beth again now that I think about it, so I guess we have them to wait for. But many of the lose ends are being tied up! Claymore's consistency is a major turn on for me.
But still on the list we have: Youki pills, Miata's situation/mother, is Clarice a failure?, youma production procedures, claymore's scars, of course who the Demon is, all that dragon kin jazz, ... well there is a bit left, but a lot of our speculation from a year ago has been answered.
So what we know about the scar is:
-It produces the smell of blood. Rubel told Clare it would never wash off.
-It looks like it hurts. That was Clare's first reaction to Teresa's deformed chest.
-Partially awakened ones taste/smell different than normal Claymores according to Ophelia. Ophelia tasted blood from the scar it seems.
-The neck piece covers the scar as Teresa pulls hers out to show her torso and Ophelia reaches underneath it.
-It doesn't look real.
-It terrifies well meaning religious characters and confuses them to the point that they say, "I don't know your anatomy"
-It's enough to make bandit rapists cough up their breakfast after checking out a hottie like Teresa.
We have speculations on other bits to be sure, about Claymores anatomy (they can stand with a gaping hole where their spine should be indicating they are not reliant on their skeletal structure) their metabolism, etc, but most of those are unconfirmed although some are very convincing.

The weekly anime would have covered about 62 chapters in it's 26 episode run (6 months). At the point the anime finished, the monthly manga was about 73-74 in (i.e. took more than 6 years to get that far). In another words there was only enough chapters for 4-6 more episodes and no way to wrap up the story. Waiting for the manga to produce enough chapters would require at least a 3-4 year wait to get enough material.
Even if there was a wait, do you think the anime audience would tolerate a Berserk like ending with Pricilla, Raki and Isley on a cliff, counting 'lights' (remaining living Claymores in Pieta) down to zero - then roll credits - followed by the message: "Next episode Winter 2013 -- otanoshimini !" Personally, I'd laugh my butt off if Madhouse tried such a stunt :D

I think an ending like that would have been better for Claymore, everyone would have run to the manga.

Kinda ironic form someone who uses Naruto for an avatar :D. You didn't like that one and a half year stretch of Naruto anime filler either (which happened for the very same reason), I suppose?
Same thing happened with One Piece, Bleach, and so on and so on... Saddly, it's not exactly uncommon.
Naruto = fart machine :D
I think its not very hard to make a second season for claymore following the remaining manga, if we see closely the time raki split in the anime was short, its not very hard for a second season to split him again, send him to easley and then reappear after 7 years :p
clare defeated priscilla! priscilla defeated isley! so it seems that clare is the most powerfull being on the island. how is it possible that such a supermegasayajin like clare lost raki again ?
again: the only way to start a second season is to start with a new pieta fight!

That is the real problem, Clare wouldn't have reasons to go after Priscilla so the anime would hvae no point except Miria's vengeance on the Org

I have read that the idea of adapting Claymore to Anime came from the president of MADHOUSE himself! He read the manga and decided to adapt it.
If I were him, I would like to sack or suspend whoever behind the anime plot in the last part. :D

Hi there! I'm new to this forum and I'm kind of in a chrusade (is it spelled right :confused:) to get all the info I can get about the male Claymores.
However, if the question is too wide, let's start with these two:
1. Has it ever been stated that Rigaldo, Easley and Duph belonged to the same generation?
2. In that case, Was there only one male generation? Because, honestly, it doesn't make much sense to me since Claymores are an ungoing experiment...
Than you!

No, you didn't spell it right. It's crusade. ;) But onto your questions.
1)
The only place that is ever really mentioned is in the Databooks where there is a list of all the Claymores we've met. Isley, Rigaldo and Duff, are listed as Numbers 1, 2, and 3 respectively and labeled as "Early Men Era".
In the manga somewhere IIRC, the time is refered to "the Era of Male Warriors", as opposed to Riful who is refered to "1st generation".
2)
I have never seen the word "generation" applied to the the guys only the girls. It is baffling that there appear to be so many, but the explanations for that are unkown. Perhaps there were more of them then. Perhaps there were constantly replenished.... who knows. Yagi may tell us eventually.
FateAnomaly
2008-12-30, 02:46
Maybe in the early days, the number of actives were not limited 47. Maybe 470 :P
I don't think the "male era" was exclusively male Miria sort of mentions it at the start of the slashers arcs fight "most of the warriors in the beginning where male....."

2. In that case, Was there only one male generation? Because, honestly, it doesn't make much sense to me since Claymores are an ungoing experiment...
You're probably right. Because judging by the sheer number of Awakened Beings in both Anime & Manga that happen to be male - there's the possibly of many, many generations of male warriors.

The army of Isley had 30, with Isley, Rigardo and Dauff, 33, that six-armed guy, 34, the one that Helen and Deneve killed, 35.
Am I forgetting anyone?
edit: Miata and CLarice killed at least two so 37
Yagi can still put 10 altough I think it's normal to see more male AB than female, its said that man Awaken more easily than woman

About male AB post.
First off, how many Claymores were made per generation? (Has it been settled yet in this forum?) If we take that there are 182+ (based on Teresa's ID) Claymores per generation, then that's a lot even if we just consider just one generation and that not all of them were male.
Secondly, I remember Ermita saying that males were let out in the wild. That is to say it is possible not all male AB are full pledged Claymores (which may be limited to 47 at time), some if not most are "trainees.
Thirdly, as were talking about the early days of experiment, as @FateAnomaly said, maybe there were more than 47 actives at a time. Though that has the con that when you do experiments, you usually do baby steps NOT giant leaps. But hey, maybe back then 300+ actives at a time was the baby step.
Fourthly, if the male warriors were let out into the wild and initially NOT hunted, that will make them live longer (by hiding in more remote places) and smarter. Thus, male ABs are only encountered deep into the North and deep into the West.

Scratch that. Thus male ABs are mostly encountered only deep into the North, deep into the West and (possibly) deep into the South; that is to say they are (or or at least were) hiding as deep as the Dwellers of the Deep (or at least used to). There are of course male ABs like the six-armed guy hidden in the mountains for all sorts of reasons.
Also, I'm not really updated, has it been confirmed that the AB Helen, Deneve and Diet-what's-her-name killed is male? Coz just because there are no boobs, and the chest is man-like doesn't mean it's male. I mean look at Undine.

Female AB always have boobs. Riful is a little kid and her AB form has boobs
Also, no offence, but saying that AB can be found in the North, West and South is like saying that Ab can be found everywhere except in the East because that's where the Organization is
Why can't Claymore move to like WSJ or something?
Why can't Claymore move to like WSJ or something?
Why do so many people have to be so selfish?
Claymore typically has almost twice the number of pages as the typical WSJ manga and has about twice the level of detail. 4 times the work, 4 times the length of time between release. Live with it.
It's nice that you like Claymore enough to be impatient like we all are, but unfair to Yagi sensei asking him to quadruple the workload. (Don't you dare start saying "assistants! hire more assistants!" - if you think that will solve it, read a claymore doujin. I want the Yagi made original.)

I use torrents (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_client) to download series that are coming out. There are even torrents listed on animesuki: http://forums.animesuki.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26
Torrents really are the best way if you want to watch any decent quality of (unlicensed) anime and usually it is translated. There are how to use torrent guides all over the net if you need help with it. There are even some on this forum.
Well, it depends, in my city there's a big market of anime where you can buy dvd's of any anime for 2 dollars each one. Claymores was in three dvd's, but it costed 5 USD.
What!? There are even torrents listed in Animesuki? As in, www.animesuki.com? Who would have believed it.
There's any info about eventual future animation projects for claymore?
Im not asking if there will be a second season, just wanted to know if the claymore crew left any hints about it.

Not sure if this belongs here. Anyway, here's some stuff here and there from the net. It's quite amusing: Miata is a car's name; Isley is Jewish (sort of); Rigard could mean adviser, .....

Is Irene alive?
We don't know. She could be, because she told Clare she wont die so easily, or she could be dead, because Clare felt something in her arm that was given to her by Irene during the time Irene should have been killed.
Hi to all.
I watched last week first and second episodes of Claymore, then, I start reading the manga along with watching the anime. I read in the internet, that the anime is following the manga upto ep. 20, so I was reading/watching till this point. After that, I completed all manga chapters (upto chapter 88), without watching the rest of the anime (Eps.21-26). So, should I go and watch those six episodes, or they will disappoint me, and just forget about them and enjoy waiting for next manga chapter?

It is really the last 3 episodes that will truly disappoint you: They forced a fight between Clare and Priscilla and at that point it isn't Yagi's by design any more and the people responsible aren't as good as Yagi. The episode before that is also somewhat disappointing, because they are trying to save the complete form of Clare's partial awakening for the Priscilla fight. So in the Rigaldo fight, only her legs are partially awakened, and that really bugs me. I guess there are some minor changes throughout the war of the north arc, but the rest aren't that bothersome. Flora seems a bit jealous of Clare's flashsword at first in the anime, and then pressures clare into telling her about irene by saying that she needs to completely trust her, and then Jean stops the fight. In the manga, Flora wants to fight with Clare to see who really is better and who really should be the leader of her group. They do spar in there. To me that isn't bad; that falls more under alternate universe rules that happens a lot in Anime/manga. There is also a part in the anime that I thought was in the manga but I didn't see it upon my last reading. It is when Priscilla runs off, and ends up eating a human and Raki witnesses. :P That was good stuff and should've really been in the Manga, and would help explain the split between Isley and Raki/Priscilla.
It is really the last 3 episodes that will truly disappoint you: .
So you're saying, no need to see the last 3 episodes as they are a real disappointment!!!

How do we know that Rigardo was number 2?
We know that Dauff was number 3 and Isley was number 1, so Rigardo should be number 2 but Yagi never said so in the manga, did he?
Because the AB sent by Isley to Riful said something like: "You, Rigardo and Isley always compete...." It makes no sense if Rigardo was anything else but #2. Why? Because then both he and Duff should compete for the #2 first to gain the qualification to face Isley.
So you're saying, no need to see the last 3 episodes as they are a real disappointment!!!
well i wouldnt go as far as to said it a real disappointment. if u would to look at it from an anime fan point of view, if the serie would to follow the manga and concluded the northern war arc with every1's death since u wont find out that they survive til season 2. to an anime fan who dont give a fk about manga, it would have being train wreck. not knowing what eh future hold, chance of a season 2 is really slim and leaving an ending like the manga would have ruin teh serie for anime fan who dont follow teh manga. as an manga fan who just happen to watch teh anime, u should just take it as a 23 episode anime and treat the last 3 episode as a preview to a possible ending to the fight between Clare and Presy. treat it as a bonuse possible animate fight between clare and presy since chances of a season 2 is really slim and even now, there no trace of a possible season 2 so far.

I wonder who was number four.
Also i hope one day Yagi tell us who was the EYE (or at least the best yoki reader) of the age of male warriors.Rigardo show us some yoki reading skills but noting great.The turtle AB show us some manipulation but was only one of the weakest in Isley's army and didn't noticed Irene's arm.
If Yagi ever decide that one male escape awakening and throw him into the story it should be the EYE of that generation.

:p Dunno, way back when I lived in Europe, I remember a tv series that ended with the main characters being hung, and even as a kid, I accepted that as a great ending. The anime could've just ended in a cliffhanger. that would've made another season more likely. :d

well the ending would have to go with the serie. in the case of the serie u talk about, an tragic ending might fit well but in the case of claymore, to have the ending to an serie where u just simply killed off all teh main characters would have beign a trainwreck unless theres a season 2. consider how they slowly built up clare to be a possible greatest/strongest warrior of all time and slowly drag the ORG dark secrect into the light which would possibly lead to a civil war on the island. then bam kill off every1 that is anythign int eh serie.
from what i heard, the company that does the anime only got contract right to animate up the the Northern War arc only. IMO they should have nogotiated right up to the end of the invasion after Easley defeat Lucy. if they would to cut just 1 min worth of trash from each episode from 1-23, they have have atleast 4episode worth of room to animate Easily invasion of the South after Clare and them fake death and ended the 1st serie with an epic battle between 2 abysal one. with the serie ended with teh introduction of Alicia in her awaken form soloing an army of ABs in the East, Rifus soloing an army of ABs in the West and Easily sucessfully invaded the South and the Surviving Warriors in the North vowing to avenge their falling comrade, Both World of claymore fan anime/manga would have anxiously waiting for season 2. that would make the first claymore anime a lot more sucessful. with yagi not given teh animator the right to animate teh next arc which is what the animators wanted, animators was face with a tough choice. follow the manga, have Rigardo 1 shoted everything and then have clare semi awaken to 1 shot Rigardo only to have all eh warrior gang rape to death by the rest of teh awaken beings and ended teh serie that way since nigotiation didnt go well with the arthur, season 2 is not very likely and chances are, they probably didnt want to deal with teh arthur anymore so they give teh anime an original ending and make it a done deal.

;) Bleh! The way you end the first series is inconclusive. You have the bit where prissy talks about the remaining two lights, so strong, yet so fragil... Then with the inconclusiveness, you have Clare and Miria fighting; Clare vision is becoming blurry and goes from being blurry to clear a few times. You see Miria in a bad situation close to getting killed, you blur it out so badly you can't tell what happen. Things become clear again. Then something is about to happen to Clare who is the first person view at the moment, then ya have your final blur out. With this kind of things, as with writing, the execution is the key, but there ya have an inconclusive ending that will work quite well. :P The director of the anime made several bad decisions, IMO. Purple yoma blood in the Teresa arc is another low point of the anime. it would've been much better if the blood was red, making you think Teresa was slaughtering villagers like you did in the manga. then later, you show the bodies on the ground, the blood turning from red to purple, bodies from human to yoma; there ya have it.
Anyway, overall, the director did a great job on the Anime; There are a few critical parts where he messed up on. The series could've ended where it did, with most of the things happening as the did, and ended good if executed right.
I like someone else's suggestion earlier to the best way to have ended the anime. Take it faithfully to the manga all the way up until the ghosts save Clarice - show Miria, Helen, Deneve and maybe Clare looking on after Clarice comes to (or possibly as Nina's company departs to fight the ABs), and leave it at that. The gang is alive and free of the Organization. Should be adequate to hold fans over for a few years hopefully...

I would say Series first, then manga. If you go manga first the series might not be that enjoyable.
The manga is way better, so go series then enjoy the manga.

I read the manga first long ago, and I still haven't watched the entire series.

:D I read the manga first, and enjoyed the Anime afterwards. You might want to stop at the war in the north part in the anime. I found the Rigaldo x Clare thing disappointing, with Clare not having her proper powerup, and then after that it is horrible.
My recommendation is, if you plan to do both, is first see the anime then read the manga. If you're only planning one or the other, then go for the manga.
@Gangsta: yes, Clarice was introduced in the manga prior to the end of the anime series. I think the anime ended around the time of Extra Scenes (so 6+ months later).

^ Thanks for the advice. One more thing: I noticed how in the Claymore subforum there are a lot of abbreviations like "AB", "dod", "zacs", etc. Could someone list all of these and what they mean?
AB: Awakened Beings
AO: Awakened Ones (Both terms can be used interchangeably and address Awakened the same)
MiB: Men in Black -This is what the people at the Claymore subforum refer to the people of the Organization, since all of them are dressed in black.
DOD: Descendants of Dragons - I believe this is the unofficial term that people at the Claymore subforum address the dragon-like creatures employed by the enemies of the Org. They can also be nicknamed the Dragon Kins or the Draconic Tribe by the scanlation groups.
ZACS: Zombie Amazon Claymore Strippers - This is the term how the people at this subforum first addressed the "Demons" before the manga gave away the official name of Abyss Feeders. That term makes more sense given that the Abyss Feeders look and behave akin to Zombies and all of them wander the lands with the bare minimum of clothes or nude at all.
AE: Awakened Eaters - Another substitute term for Abyss Feeders. The Claymore-like creatures created from flesh of deceased AB to hunt down and eat Isley.
And for the moment that's all terms and abbreviations I'm awared of.
Hope, this might help you. :)

I have a question.
Why are yoma so weak? I mean, Claymores are extremely superior to them, but Clare is distinctly weaker because she is more human than the others. So you'd think her power level would be more different from yoma than her compatriots, not less. Yet somehow awakened beings and Claymores both are insanely superior to plain yoma, even though their powers come from being only part yoma.
I mean, that makes no sense!
Think like this:
Iron: inferior material if not treated.
Carbon (coal): not so impressive (if not useless in most cases) as an material.
Steel: Tough!
Make sense right? :)
Now.
Yoma = Iron.
Human = Carbon
Steel = ABs, AOs, AEs, CMs, Teresa, Priscilla, Miata, Clarice.... depend on the composition.
Obviously:
Iron> Coal
BUT Steel >>>> Iron.
MonsieurRosseau
2009-03-06, 23:54
But what about Clare being naturally weaker than the others?
Because more Iron in steel doesn't make the steel stronger!
Also, the refining process is also vital. Even if you have the right ratio b/w iron/carbon, the product still blows if you do it wrong.

Altough, is copletely sterile.
Anyway, it makes sense that the AFs are much superior than ABs. They are to ABs what Claymores are to Yoma
Hmm...one question: How come Ricardo is not capable of destroyed limb regeneration if he is such a powerful awakened being? Both Priscilla and Easley can do that quickly and easy, even that idiotic AB that miria fought in the mountains could do it :p
Gangsta Spanksta
2009-03-07, 10:20
:D Ah that one is easy. Isley and Priscilla power levels are in the Abyssal Range. But even Isley is limited in regeneration, being an offensive type. In this last chapter, he was able to regenerate a lot while in human form, but us speculators think he wasted a lot of yoki, and that it contributed to his downfall. By the time he was fighting the ZACS he stopped regenerating. Also, the waves upon waves of yoki he was admitting when Helen and Deneve showed up to town, was him regenerating from his last encounter with the ZACS with great effort I presume.
The six armed awakened being probably was a defensive type.
But Carbon can also be:
Graphite, Buckyballs, Carbon nanotubes, and Diamonds
The last 2 are quite hard :p
But rare as hell. MAYBE RAKI IS ONE OF THOSE :D.
Beside: Pure Iron with perfect crystal structures and absolute 0% impurities is also a heck of a material. But again, this type of iron is even rarer than diamond, if not nonexistent in nature.
Gangsta Spanksta
2009-03-07, 17:50
Buckyballs :D I feel like I'm in skewl again.
This can be a tough question: what makes a claymore stronger than other?

chibamonster
2009-03-10, 11:39
We do not know. There is evidence supporting multiple theories. For one, the MiB's talk about how Teresa was gifted with an incredible talent. In other words, her power stemmed from something about her, not something that the organization can control. Clare's experiment was to see if they could preserve that rare talent.
On the other hand we have the organization making Alicia and Beth where Alicia is recognized as an Abyssal. The two were specifically crafted through an intense program to become the weapon they were. In order to achieve it the organization messed with their minds and just about everything else.
So we do not know why claymores can be exponentially stronger than one another. There are several very interesting theories though.

What are the advantages of an offensive warrior over a defensive warrior?

Attack Power. Clare knew Irene was offensive because of how powerful her attacks were. Defensive Claymore's can be tough, but it seems that an offensive Claymore's body changes to give them some special ability utilized through a technique of some sort (drill sword, phantoms, quicksword, windcutter, etc).

I see. Thanks chibamonster:). Defensive types get special and heightened regeneration techniques. Offensive types have special skills and a special name. Althought Galatea has both.

Most single digits get a nick name or at least want one. It seems defensive types are the minority, though living up to their title as defensive's 4 of the 7 claymores who survived the north were defensive types. The other three were partially awakened. Deneve was both.
EDIT: Even Deitrich has a nick name now, at least given to her by Galatea. Persuer Deitrich. Though homing missile Deitrich sounds good too.

What time of month does the chapter come out?

Usually the very first week of each month. Translations and scans differ when they come out, but usually within the first week you will have them.

Do you think fansubs ruined their profits?
Nobody will do a sequel of non-profit stuff :p

Nah the gecko ending ruined their profits, i don't think anyone has ever said they preferred the way the anime diverged. Consensus seems to be that it would have been better to play it straight and imply they all died. Thus sticking to the original storyline and allowing a second season to pick up the story afterwards.

Err...i was thinking they could release an alternative ending "The end of claymore" lol like the "the end of evangelion" :p
In the latest chapter (90), did Galatea know Dietrich personally or did she only hear about her? According to cnet's translation she knew her but in shrimpy's version there are additional words "I presume", i.e. she didn't know how she looks.

Firstly, keep in mind Galatea-sama is blind.
She says:
seisekisha dietrich ka...
Pursuer Dietrich, is it?...
(the ka is basically a question mark. So "I persume?", ",eh?", ",huh?" - that kind of thing. I don't think she really doubts it - just sort of softening it from a "OMG - You're Pursuer Dietrich!!!!" type thing)
soshiki no meirei ni chuujitsu ni dokomademo shitagau yatsu da
The one(yatsu) who faithfully obeys/follows any Organization order.
(literally: faithfully follows order anywhere [the orders may lead])
omae no shitsukosa ni wa kurou saserareta yo.
your persistance has caused [me] some hardships!
(the [me] is left out becuase it's obvious - this is normal and common in japanese)
Thanks for thorough explanation Cyclone :).

Hmm... Are the ghosts still considered Claymores even if they're not with the organization?

Claymore is a word made up by the civilian populous of the Isle and not an official Term. It is a synonym for another made up unofficial term of "Silver eyed witch." Among the Claymores, they refer to themselves as warriors.

Is it Riyu Kosaka herself who sings the ending theme of the Claymore anime? I kind of find it hard to believe. The voice sounds manly.
If she didn't, she's darn good at lip synching...

:p It sounds less manly than the version on Claymore though. :D
She's pretty damn good.:)

Besides being a good tracker, does Dietrich have other skills? Cuz Galatea's skill could beat that any day.

Careful that's dangerously close to an invitation for a Galatea vs Dietrich thread. And those have been repeatedly denied, ask Cyclone...
And to answer your question, none that have been shown in the manga so far. Unless you count her stealing the Clarice Jump...

:D I don't think Dietrich has what it takes to take down a #3. She was about to be taken out by that non-special AB.

She's about as strong as Tabitha, methinks. She still is less useless than Yuma (though, perhaps, just as cute), but not strong enough to compete with the Fab Four and Galatea.
Just give a vs thread (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=33519) already...

Nice song! Clap***Clap***
Im gonna ask if anyone has any Area 88 soundtracks available? The ones I have seen on YOUTUBE are badly recorded.
Many thanx....
I have a question about Galatea
How did Galatea lose her eyes? did i miss her explanation? From some posts i read it seems like she did it herself but haven't been able to confirm it.
Also, are those hobbit holes we see in Ch.68 p 90 supposed to be claymore rooms at the Org HQ?

Yes, she did it to herself. It's mentioned twice. Once in the side bar of one of the chapters (it wasn't translated in most scanlations), and once Galatea-sama herself told us (she was talking to Miria at the time, IIRC). Anyways, she made it clear it was self inflicted.
thanks, knew i'd missed it somewhere.
But as a result of that lost sight her yoki sensing is way off the charts, sensing things that no other can sense, only she can.:)

What I found most interesting is that Galatea couldn't tell who the Ghosts were until she heard them, supposedly proving her blindness. What gets me is just a few chapters before, she was out and about, literally running through a crumbling city, grabbed Galk, and even threw him with great accuracy at her opponent, Miata. If she's blind, how'd she do it? Humans don't emit youki, and her blindness should stop her from running anywhere. When was the last time you saw a blind woman running around in a crowded area?
That's right, nobody's ever seen it.

Actually I've seen it before, blind people use their sense of hearing to see. She ran a lot, but maybe she is used to the area. Also maybe she has learned how to use her ears like a bats, when her foot hits the ground when she moves it probably sends some sort of radar like vibration through the ground and whatever objects are in the way reflect back to her, the same with how she probably uses her voice and hears people talk. She didn't know Miria and the others were there until she heard Miria's voice and remembered her, from who knows where. Hope that helps.;)

Well that's certainly a theory. However, when airborne, how would that system work? Galatea wasn't just running along the ground all the time. She was airborne a great deal. Certainly you aren't suggesting Galatea sees the world like a bat?
Now that's a funny thought. Big-eared Galatea screeching to provide her a good idea of what's around her. She'd certainly be an odd person to hear in combat.
