Thank you for making this thread.

Now my personal theory. Raki will be the one to kill Claire in the end. Note that when a Claymore feels the need to die (because they are in danger of becoming a youma), they submit meekly to the sword of those they most care about. This was demonstrated in episode 2. Episode 4 demonstrated that Claire will ask someone to kill her and accept death as a human, rather than live as a youma.

Raki cannot defeat Claire, but he does not need to, as she will patiently wait for the death blow. In episode 2 it was demonstrated that the Claymore will not fight back. In episode 4 Claire kneeled with her sword in front of her, defenseless. As a result, Raki does not need to defeat Claire.

What Raki needs to do is come to an understanding that, when the time comes, he must kill her. That is what my (uninformed, but eerily accurate) prediction states: The climactic ending will be Raki killing Claire. To get to that ending the show must largely be about Raki's journey to understanding that he must kill Claire when she asks him to do so. Episode 2 showed Raki crying and pleading Claire not to kill her friend. Episode 4 showed Raki prefering to die himself rather than see Claire dead. This is the fundamental story of Claymore. <-- according to somebody who doesn't know.

I think that the Claymore Org will put out some kind of order against Raki and Clare will have to defend him for a time against other Claymores. Of course then Raki will be taken away from her anyway...and she'll flip out.

Hmm... I wouldn't have guessed that, but it does sound plausible. The Org captures Raki, and Claire has to rescue him from some castle.

Do you think the Org is actually trying to manufacture youma? This scenario sounds like they could be trying to push her over the edge.

They can just as easily die together....or even live on together.

Still, I think that the Claymore Org will put out some kind of order against Raki and Clare will have to defend him for a time against other Claymores. Of course then Raki will be taken away from her anyway...and she'll flip out.
exactally what i was thinking...in situations like this there is always the "righteous organization" with a sinister secret...at first we will see out heros happily smashing the intended target but its just a matter of time til something is dug up which will require them to be silenced by said organization ~ classic plot but im interested on how the whole ordeal is going to be pulled off :3

I guess the obvious way would be they discover that the organisation is the one actually creating the yoma. Episode 5 could be taken as implying this.

Tempest35

When the 'righteous' tries to dabble with/control that which is inherently 'evil', they also become 'evil' by the virtue of they are the ones trying to manipulate they very evil they are suppose to oppose. Of course, all they can manage is manipulating mindless evil...:heh:

I'd love to see Raki bust out of whatever prison he gets himself into because of either his love for Clare (romantic or sibiling related) or he gets a sudden 'golden eye' moment, and does ownage on a few Claymores himself. ^^b

Indeed. It wasn't meant as a definitive statement or anything; just idle speculation that if they did choose to go that way then it's had foreshadowing. Hopefully things will be a little more subtle than that.

Either way though, I'll be surprised if the organisation isn't complicit in some way with the yoma problem - at the very least they seem to be doing quite well financially out of the situation. Then again, the series has already thrown up a few red herrings and twists so perhaps they have nothing but the noblest intentions. Yeah, right. :D

Somehow I would be surprised if any large mysterious organization in an anime turned out to be philanthropic and benevolent.

But who knows, perhaps the fees are necessary to cover their operating and training expenses.

That's a good point, they have subtly hinted that the organization is somewhat sinister, so perhaps that is just to mislead the viewers into thinking that the organization is somehow behind the youma problem, when actually they are putting all their effort into putting an end to them once and for all. They also seem to have implied that the Claymore themselves do not get any of the financial rewards for the work they do. Perhaps that is also a ruse.

Ho, ho! I just thought of this. Perhaps Claire is unique in not accepting the payment. The only other Claymore we have been able to observe, so far, is apparently her mentor. Perhaps Claymore typically get a cut of the money and are much better adjusted mentally than Claire and Theresa? Then it could be that the Organization is much more benign than we think (because we are viewing them mostly from the perspective of Claire).

Maybe most Claymore spend a lot of time back at the Organization's HQ, which has a pool, and brings in theater groups from all over to entertain the girls?

Several scenes in episode 5 also hint that the organization is not so nice. It seems like Claymore like to mention to the townspeople that if they do not pay the collector, a group of new Yoma will just happen to wander to the non-paying town and turn the town into an all-yoma-can-eat guts buffet. How would the Yoma know that a town didn't pay if the organization never told it?

Also, although the Claymore do not accept any payment directly from the townspeople, surely they get some kind of stipend. In episode 6, Teresa is able to buy a set of new clothing. She tells Clare not to worry since she can afford it. I am assuming that Teresa didn't go and pawn something to buy the outfit.

As for Claymore pool at HQ... it sounds nice in theory, but unless the girls are wearing one-piece bathing suits, it's implied that a pool scene would not be as hot and scandalous as you might like :upset:

I've been wondering what it is that could be hideous enough to offend the refined sensibilities of a bunch of bandits intent on rape. It's hard to imagine it being anything other than an anticlimax after this build up. A nasty scar isn't going to cut the mustard at this point. :D

ah well, when I first encountered that scene I simply thought that maybe she manipulated her body to show a grotesque mish mash of human and yoma flesh or something. Just a trick to fool the bandits and discourage them from going after her without the need to fight. Until it is shown to the audience what a claymore's upperbody looks like I'll stick with my own interpretation. :heh:

It's not that hard to believe since in order to become Claymore, they must have yoma flesh fused within them to become half human half yoma. Not to mention it's been implied that all claymores are like that, so it would make sense this comes from the process of making them claymores.

my guess on it is that as claymores move closer into turning into a yoma their body starts to transform and thus one of the reason as to why they wear suits to cover up the whole body...i bet underneath they have rotting skin like a yoma :twitch: not a nice thought...
another would be for an active yoma to be implanted into claymores thus they are able to control their powers...and that process of implanting completely destroys the body...imagine giving birth from the chest in reverse mode :twitch:

2007-05-14, 00:53

Since we're on that topic, I just want to say that I'd really like to actually see what it is. At this point, I'm towards the more rational speculations that it is some (maybe stitched up) yoma flesh involving their transformation into Claymores and lifes as half-yomas.

I'd love to see Raki bust out of whatever prison he gets himself into because of either his love for Clare (romantic or sibiling related) or he gets a sudden 'golden eye' moment, and does ownage on a few Claymores himself. ^^b
Related to that I speculate Raki will become yoma. If he already isn't harbouring one. See two scenes from the OP :

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/5369/rakitv6.th.jpg (http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rakitv6.jpg) . http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6171/clarepm8.th.jpg (http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=clarepm8.jpg)

First scene looks a lot like Raki to me. In fact, I've always thought that that was Raki. The next scene that follows implies that Clare will be the one up against him; also, I noticed that her eyes are rather dead, which tells of the pain of killing someone you love. On the other hand, it could very well be Raki in temporary yoma mode as a Claymore.

Nonetheless, I think it's obvious Raki has some potential power - I remember that mysterious event surrounding how Clare was brought back from yoma mode at the end of the cathedral arc (as I call it).

My speculation is this. Raki has something within him (genetic?) that natively suppresses yoma influences within (hehe I stole that from 28 Weeks Later). He might very well be harbouring a yoma (his past is rather vague) but himself unknowningly suppressing it so that Clare and any other Claymore can not detect it. He will sooner or later, from some sort of catalyst, express that Yoma (but hopefully in a controlled fashion). This leads to two possibilities - The organisation has their first male Claymore. Or the organisation orders Clare to kill that abnormality: Raki. Clare cannot do it, and the two become betrayers, to be hunted down by the organisation. :heh:

I have a feeling the organization is yoma themselves and they simply stay hidden and co-exist with humans while sending the claymores out to kill all rival "uneducated" yoma. (un-tamed so to speak, or something like that)

Perhaps they are yoma who have become half-human, half-yoma but started originally as yoma. (like arrancars as opposed to vizards)

I don't think he is the only one. On a dutch forum some of the guys mentioned about the scene when Teresa offered her body things like:

1. Take her from behind so you don't see the disfigured front etc.
2. Put a bag over your own head (what you can't see doesn't hurt)

Claymores kill Youma who kill humans. Humans already know that Claymores are part-Youma so if a Claymore could just kill humans at random, the equation [Claymores = Youma] will be in people's minds and that's something that the Org actually works to keep not from happening.

Wait, how do we know such a rule exists? Because some dumb-ass bandit said it? As far as I know, there is only one credible source of info about Claymore: Claire. Teresa has a dark sense of humor and can't necessarily be trusted, the organization guy is questionable because we know nothing about his motivation (Why did he talk to Raki?). I don't remember Claire saying Claymore can't kill humans, in fact, she said something like, "if you oppose me, prepare to die," to the night guard a couple of eps back.

I think Priscilla will kill Theresa, and become Claymore number 1, then Clare becomes a Claymore, and some day both of them will fight, and Clare will kill Priscilla and avenge the death of Theresa, well that is just my crazy theory.

And i also believe that there must be far more powerful Yoma, because even low level Claymore seem capable of taking out many of them, and if that is true, there would be no reason for the existence of Claymore so powerful as Theresa, it would only be an unnecesary risk.

You know, that's a pretty good point. Clare was surprised to encounter a flying youma in Ep.2, so she's clearly has not fought one before. That's a possible hint of more exotic and powerful youma out there.

Such as the "voracious" one in Rabona, or the many-tentacled one we keep seeing in the OP. The single-digit Claymores (the "double-O" agents of the Claymore world :p) are probably meant to take care of these "special" cases, kinda like S-Class missions for the elite ninjas of a certain village I need not name. ;)

As additional food of thought: In episode 7, when the 4 single digits meets, there is a conversation in the lines of "One of us would have been enough to clean that town, so our job has to be something different...", _after_ they killed those yoma.

This suggests that there _are_ situations in fighting yoma were such a team might be necessary, just not in this case.

While I also believe in the theory of Raki as a potential future Yoma (or perhaps, the first male Claymore?), now I think that that pic can be associated to the awakened Priscilla.

Visual comparison:

So Clare might be indeed ending fighting that creature, but as the monster who killed her beloved Teresa, and not as Raki.
At least that's what the series has suggested so far. The opening might eventually change, if there will be a turn on the plot direction.

I'm curious. How does one go about "making" a Claymore (the warriors, not the swords)?

Would it be something along the lines of the opening sequence of, say, Ghost in the Shell (the original movie)? :eyespin:

*cue to ultra-cool, haunting, Japanese opera music*

What, sound too high-tech? Well, Ive noticed a few modern-day anachronisms popping up in the anime already. For example, how the heck does someone living in a medieval society know about the concept of percentages? (While it sounds "cool" in theory, how the heck does Teresa measure the percentage of youki she uses in battle? Does she have an internal guage that she can read off a HUD, like in a FPS game? :D)

Back to topic, is the process of making a Claymore more along the lines of:

1) Let's render your original human body to mush.
2) In the meantime, we'll also be rendering some youma body parts to mush.
3) Stir both pots of mush well to ensure even consistency.

I'm no expert on the history of math, but considering that a lot of ancient civilizations were advanced enough for stuff like calculus, and figuring out the posistion of the stars for a thousand years to come, or banking intrest, percentiges were hardly unknown in medivil europe. Your standered uneducated peasent wouldn't know about them, but educated people like scribes and bankers would.
And I'm thinking the process of making a Claymore is more like something from "The Island Of Dr. Moreu".

So, if they have pills to suppress the youma side, and losing control over that side is the big fatal problem at the end of a career, why don't they just start taking the pills when they feel themselves slipping?

I don't think it can help at that stage. The pill can keep their Youki concealed but it can't be use to conceal it while they're already on their way to becoming a full-fledged Youma. That's what I think, at least.
