Favorite scene in Claymore

[NoSanninWa]

There have been many types of experiences in Claymore: sad times, exciting battles, survival against the odds, meeting new friends. If there is a scene in the show or manga that really meant something to you, feel free to post about it here. Please remember to explain why it was important to you, or else this thread could quickly become pointless and be destroyed.

Just a few ground rules:
If your favorite scene was in the manga always use spoiler tags. Use a title for the spoiler tags that says if it as in the US version, or from the Japanese version that Viz has not yet published. Don't spoil those who only read licensed manga.
If your favorite scene was not in the manga, then don't use spoiler tags or else people will have a hard time figuring out if they should click on spoiler tags.
Explain why that scene was important to you or else I might just delete your post. No simple answers are allowed.

Seeing Isley's Awakened Form, as it was both impressive and intimidating.

Raphaela's past being revealed, this character was a mystery for a long time, and to find that she was the sister of one of the Abyssal Ones, and possibly the oldest Claymore around really made her character jump up several spaces in my book.

When the Fab 4 make their reappearance 7 years later, it really felt like they were dead for a while.

Miria's sparring match with Clare, seeing how much both Clare and Miria had advanced was really something that made me appreciate the length of time that had passed.

Not to mention Miria's new phantoms are awesome.

Riful's flashback of meeting Priscilla, it was really shifted the spotlight back onto Clare's object of vengeance.


For stuff that was in the anime:

When Ophelia was hunting Clare down, I truly felt Clare's fear during this entire Scene, it was the first time we really saw Clare's more primal emotions come out since her hybridization.

The reintroduction of Irene was also a big one for me, seeing a character I was certain was dead again truly suprised me, and I did not feel it was cheap as is the case with most anime.

[Valduran]

In the Anime:

Galatea taking care of 'problem-child-Clare'.

Riful's comments on Clare/Galatea/Jean's battle with Duff. And her scolding of Duff.

Ophelia's introduction and 'game'. I was like "This bitch is my kind of psycho" when I saw that. :D ... :uhoh:

I also liked the conclusion of her first battle with Clare too. When Clare permanently lost her arm and then her hand, was probably one of the most lasting impressions a scene in anime has ever made on me(Second only to the unmentionable Teresa scene of course). Over the course of that episode(including later scenes with Clare and Irene) was probably when my sympathy for Clare finally cemented.

Miria's first sparring match with Clare. (Probably one of my favorite fights in the anime...maybe the fact that it is like the only fight in the entire series that is fully animated gives it bonus points? :D)

The bandit's attempted rape of Teresa, Clare attacking him and Teresa defending her, the tears from silver eyes, etc... That was probably when I realised I was going to love Claymore.


In the manga: None so far really...the anime did all my favorite scenes alot better :(

Although there have been quite a few really cool moments in the post-anime manga chapters, manga just doesn't make quite the same impression on me as anime.

Although I think this is worth mentioning:

Helen: So like... who are we even saving? Those girls from the organization ... or the abyssal one?

Deneve: ...

Deneve: Are you seriously asking that?

Helen: Nah...

That's probably my favorite Helen moment. ^^

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Hmm...

Raki's determination to stay with Clare forever, even if it meant dying when Clare went over her limits in the holy city was the first emotional moment of the series and really got me permanently attached to Claymore.

I have to say Teresa's scenes all were great. The attempted rape, the comment about Clare being like a pet, and her beating down the other 4 members of the top 5 (at the same time, mind you), all were great scenes. However, Teresa's scene with Clare where Teresa actually breaks down and sheds tears was probably the most emotional scene for me. I was crying too... manly tears of course.

The scenes with Clare + Raki vs. Ophelia were truly terrifying and I seriously was worried that someone I liked was going to die... again. I also liked the part when the AB twisted Ophelia's nack around. Her quip then was quite amusing, even though Ophelia ended up living.

Clare, Jeane, and Galatea's fight scene was fantastic, and I liked how Clare made a friend and finally got some damn respect.

The scene with Rigald losing an arm and looking down as his stump and having no reaction because he just couldn't believe it. Superb. Again, Clare finally got some damn respect.

Jeane sacrificing her life to save Raki and Clare's. She threw herself into Clare as she almost killed Raki and Priscilla together and synced her youki with Clare's, restoring her but killing Jeane. I cried. Jeane was probably my favorite Claymore other than Teresa. I didn't want her to die. T_T

[Devilz911]

Scene 59 - Invasion of Pieta III (When Clare beats Rigaldo, awesome moment in Claymore)

Scene 23 - Marked for Death VI (Teresa dies, one of the reason why Claymore is popular)

Scene 15 - Teresa of the Faint Smile IV (Teresa shows style by pwning her executors and leaving the organization, awesome.)

Scene 67 - Together with the Soul III (Clare vs Miria fight was interesting, I liked seeing the new changes after time passed.)

[Anima]

1. Ophelia's pre-awakening scenes. Her introduction, The fighting of the single-digit AB, the cat-and-mouse catch up. I like the fact that she is so obsessed with fighting ABs to the point where she get involved in a stupid single-sided argument ignoring a tough AB standing in front of her. Being so confident that she is gonna kill and rip each AB and the amusement (that's actually my favorite) she shows when she knew that Clare was using yoki flow detection to block her attacks.

2. Ophelia's post-awakening. The part when she discovers she's awakened. I felt sorry for her. I just love Ophelia :D

3. Teresa taking on the top 4 claymores all by herself without being scratched. That was epic. 'nuff said.

4. Rigardo's recalling memories of a fun battle and getting serious against Clare. Mainly the BGM of that scene makes me like it more :D

5. Rafaela's reunion with Luciela mainly because of my theory about forced reverting and the potential of the greatest twist in Claymore yet but it seems nobody likes it (judging by replies in that thread :p)

@NoSanninWa: Teresa's death scene was intense but I would never call it a favorite since it killed my favorite char in Claymore. :mad:

[NoSanninWa]

@NoSanninWa: Teresa's death scene was intense but I would never call it a favorite since it killed my favorite char in Claymore. :mad:

No? Maybe I really should remove that rule. I might have made an unwarated assumption. Let's discover the truth together, after all that is what discussion is all about. Overmoderation is a sin I should not commit.

My favorite scene in Claymore was Theresa's death. It was powerful and moving. Sure it was painful, but that meant it was important to me. Right there I knew that I was never going to stop reading a title if it could make me care so much.

[koffy]

1. The first scene in Rabona, its reminded me the most for medieval time so I like it very much.
2. Slashers episodes. Nice scenery, nice fight. Aware of Clare is a weakling but even not as much.
3. Probably Witch's Maw my fav scene. Galatea appears again and show how cool is she^^, recognized Dauf is a big crying baby and saw a cool fight. My fav moment when Clare realize how to use her quick sword and its surprise Riful.
4. Invasion of Pieta: fight against Rigardo. I like the moment when Clare is running in slowmo :) and that was an arm lol^^ and then Rigardo just looking his stump.
5. The 7ghost appears(I belief things quickly :uhoh:)and improved a lot.
6. Riful collecting allie, Miria's team save the weaklings^^.

I like all of the Teresa scenes, especially the meeting with Clare and beating the former top Claymores. Same here, I never liked Teresa's death scene:(

[Valerian Mengsk]

Wow koffy, that's most of the manga!

Hehe, I'm right there with you. The list of my favorite scenes nearly match all the scenes in the manga.

[ergon]

Some moments really made me feel something. Thats one of the things I love about this manga I guess.
GOOD moments: Teresa killing the Yoma without even a fight in Clare's village. How each villager who cries "murderer!" is actually a Yoma. The fourth one who doesnt even realize he's been owned till he turns his head :heh:
Her "smile" that Irene talks about is her cool confidence. Thats one thing I loved about her.

When Clare goes to help the other Claymores and meets Dauf. Awesome fight. Dauf crying when Clare hits him, and Jean drilling a hole through him. Riful sits there making interesting comments. When she threatens to leave him Dauf's reaction is priceless, lol. Kickass!

"the Slashers" scenes. how Miria and Clare take down the AB, the four of them surviving nasty wounds. Seeing Clare's abilities devolop. It felt good to see them bond and start becoming a team. Till then it didn't seem like any of the claymores gave a S*** about the others, I got tired of seeing them kill each other.

SAD moments: almost anytime a claymore dies, but especially, Teresa of course, because she was amazing. The battle in Pieta, where so many of them died. Especially Flora, she was sexy! Damn you Rigald :frustrated: I got some consolation when Clare put him through the "Human Chainsaw". Its a cruel world though and we'll probably see more of it.
Ophelia's fight with Clare was pretty intense, I was on the edge of my seat. I had a love/hate thing going on for Ophelia, she was nasty but I kinda liked her and was hoping she would stick around and start playing nice for a change. Her dying was sad but necessary I guess...

Last one was when Irene talks to Clare about Teresa. Clare knowing that it was partly her fault, wanting to be stronger, and feeling the pain of her loss again, all at the same time. Very emotional scene.

[Anima]

Ergon, all of those scenes were in the anime so the spoiler is kinda extra. ;)

And it seems many people like Ophelia despite her cruelty. Yagi must have put a spell in Ophelia scenes! :D

[Zsych]

@Anima: Regaring the Rafaela spoiler and your pet theory... in my own case, the problem with that is not that its uncool, but that there really isn't any set up for it. Out of the blue things happening often doesn't seem good. I think Irene was enough in that area... or maybe Raki returning a Claymore... :)

As much as I hated Raki, especially towards the end of the anime... In the manga he seems quite decent. I especially liked when Isley slashed his sword towards him and Raki didn't even bat an eye... even if you see that often for strong, or would be strong characters in fantasy, it was still pretty nice.

I don't think that my theory is out of the blue. I compared incidents and found similarities between them. Of course I could be completely wrong (hence it's a theory) but I believe there is some possibility to it being true unless of course someone counter my thoughts with facts from the manga that I couldn't comprehend or Yagi just telling us explicitly that Luciela is dead.

[Sindra]

Im actually quite surprised that no one has mentioned the part where Teresa goes beserk and kills the whole band of bandits after they raided the whole town. That scene in particular had a huge impact for me, I loved when she told them that she was going to kill them for they are lower than Yoma =). and of course the scene where she breaks down in tears after she realizes that she was being the one comforted by Chibi-Clare.

[aurr]

How Clare suprises her comrades at Slasher part. She get's up, and evades AB's attaks, sending Miria in awe.
Oh, and then the Ophelia vs. Clare and Clare. vs. Priccy at the end. Aaaaand Clare vs. Gald and Sid, basikally most of the fights.

[CitizenGeek]

It has to be Clare's fight against Riful's minion (can't remember his name, think it began with a 'd'?)!

[Anima]

It has to be Clare's fight against Riful's minion (can't remember his name, think it began with a 'd'?)!
It's Dauf/Duff.

[Mikke]

Ummmm.... I'd vote for the flying octopus scene, lol :heh: it was emphisezed both in the manga and anime likewise.... As slowly teresa's consciousness discipated and only three words remained, which claire later on heard every time she placed her palm on her upper chest... "Kill that *itch!"

[Anima]

My favourite scene is and will always be the NEXT one in the NEXT chapter.
I hope we get a flash back so your certainty would be ruined :p j/k

I'd add:
The sight of the 7 ghosts in their cloaks hiding their faces (last 2 pages in chapter 77). Oh, the excitement!

[yezhanquan]

For me, it's the scene where Deneve regenerated her arm. Her expression screams "murder" and yet, she later got a hole through the gut =X.

[Anima]

If I might add as well:
The whole ch# 70 was awesome. Riful deceiving Audrey and Ray and then showing her superiority with such coldness is just great. It really shows that an AB could fool around. The scene where Audrey lands a direct sword thrust at Riful's head just to see that it just gave her a little push! Superb toughness! :D

The ghosts showing up and stealing the spot light was also great.

[koffy]

Ye ye my fav scene too^^. I just smiled when Audrey recognized Riful's covered yoki :)
Maybe its becouse of my Riful obsession, I really hopeing for chapters like this.

[Mikke]

For me, it's the scene where Deneve regenerated her arm. Her expression screams "murder" and yet, she later got a hole through the gut =X.

Haha! yeah, that's my second fav scene! thus my avatar... :heh:

[[thousandmaster]]

My favorite part was Raki facing off against Ophelia so he could protect Clare. He sure got guts doing something like that, against a psyco claymore no less. Raki deserves a metal of courage for what he did. :bow:

[Anima]

Yeah, that was courageous of him but keep in mind he didn't really know she was a complete psycho. The adolescent kid had a crush on Clare and wouldn't accept someone putting her hands under her T-shirt :p

[[thousandmaster]]

Psycho or not, he had the 'fellows' (don't ask) to face a claymore. lol lol lol

[jin07]

I think he may have been banking on the Claymores don't kill humans. Still showed some guts since there's nothing that says Claymores can't punch humans. I think my favorite scene would be when Helen first meets Jeane. That or any scene where Helen has an apple.

[Mikke]

Lol! There was one part which the director of the anime included that wasn't in the manga. In all of Raki's curiousity of Clare's whereabouts during the campfire scene and his eventual supposition the she went to drop some cargo, commenting on the size.... of the cargo. :twitch:

[Blackmoon042]

I have three favorite scenes I can think of, two of which are sort of "combined" into a feeling for me:

1.) The first was near the end of episode 6 where Teresa had just left Clare at the village where she (Clare) was about to live, and the bandits attacked, then Teresa returned, and she broke the rules of the Organization by killing humans which include the leader of the bandits and the one who was about to abuse/rape Clare. The scene after that where Teresa was supposed to be executed, however, yet again, she defies the Organization, probably because she had started to develop feelings for Clare, and then when a member of the Organization said, "You'll regret this, Teresa", she responds with "I won't. There's no way I will."

To me, this was very touching, how a Claymore such as Teresa -- a Claymore who was the best of her generation, and with being the best, usually comes some dedication, had managed to "soften up", and start to care for and become attached to Clare.

At the part where the bandit is dragging Clare away in the village and wickedly says "Yo. It's you. You forgot something here? I'll take care of this girl, don't fret. I'll make sure to give her lots of love, so don't worry. She's so cute when she screams and cries, calling, 'Teresa... Teresa...' and such", and then when Teresa widens her eyes open in shock, most viewers can tell that she is, in actuality, shocked, and then when she proceeds to instantly kill him, one can tell that she really does love Clare.

Then the scene right after, where Teresa and Clare are at the execution site, with Clare crying and Teresa about to be killed, instead of letting them execute her, she makes the decision (at the last moment?) to live on for Clare. To me, this absolutely confirmed Teresa's devotion and love for Clare, especially how she walks away with a defiant air.

Both of these parts made me cry. Sooo touching, IMO. :sad: :D


2.) + 3.) At the end of episode 8, where Priscilla had just partially awakened and killed Teresa, Clare is simply helpless against Priscilla, so helpless that Priscilla ignores her (I think?). Later, in episodes 25 and 26, where Clare partially awakens, I thought: "Wow, Clare had grown so much; she had grown from being a little, human girl whom Priscilla hadn't even bothered to attack/kill, to a semi-awakened being who was able to fight near on par to Priscilla fully awakened." What makes it even better, IMO, is because it was all for revenge for Teresa, and becoming a monster to fight a monster due to her love for Teresa ^^ and hate for Priscilla. I dunno, the anime makes it seem like she's doing it more out of hate for Priscilla, but that stems out of her love for Teresa... So maybe it's more for her love for Teresa? *shrugs*

When you take in the whole picture behind Clare becoming a Claymore, I think it makes a great, emotional story.

Quite a bit of growth, IMO.

Sorry for the long post. :( I just <3 Claymore.

[yurifan]

1. all of teresa's scenes and especially the death of teresa
2. riful flashback of seeing that thing* (that biotch called Priscilla)
3. Priscilla awaken (her awaken's form is cool)

[Zsych]

1. "She taught me that tears can flow, even from Silver eyes"
2. Clare's youki reading against the first AB.
3. Irene's return.
4. Jean's restoration and the final fight against Dauf.
5. Raki not flinching when Isley swings his sword at him and Isley saying that apparently the kid isn't completely worthless :P [manga] (not really one of my favorites but whatever)
6. The awakening against Rigardo

7. Clare not being owned by Miria after the timeskip :P
8. #3 and #5 fighting Riful and realizing that the shit had hit the fan.
9. Miata protecting Clarice from Agatha, and Clarice finally coming to her senses(her hopelessness tends to be rather funny).

[Anima]

Zsych, cover the manga ones with spoiler tags. :)
If your favorite scene was in the manga always use spoiler tags. Use a title for the spoiler tags that says if it as in the US version, or from the Japanese version that Viz has not yet published. Don't spoil those who only read licensed manga.

[Davitz]

my favourtie scene ... well the one that keeps in my mind... is when galatea turns it up a notch against dauf
and releases some yoki
well that whole , claire/galatea vs dauf has to be my favourite

[Synria_]

One scene that really captivated me was when Raki and Clare split up during the time Ophelia was killing that one awakened. Clare and Raki kissing was so emotional, I felt the love and care they had for each other. They treasured their relationship and promised each other they would stay alive. Wow... that moment was really special.

[Zsych]

... if I were to look at that scene... a master kissing her dog is closer to what I would imagine :P
Raki seems to kinda worship her, and Clare... not sure what she thinks of him, but how close can you be to someone basically inferior and 99% useless to you, except as a form of pity.

[Synria_]

I'm not understanding you Zsych...

If there was no raki, we wouldn't see a soft side, a love side, to Clare. She would just be another woman under the organization killing off one youma after the other. Clare's life would be boring and with no meaning. Raki is able to bring out the another side of clare, the one that probably everyone likes (similar to Theresa caring for clare), and enriches clare's life in a way.

[NoSanninWa]

This is not one of the threads where it is acceptable to discuss Raki's place in the story vs just hating him. Please lets not drag this into a long off-topic fugue.

[HelloMrBrahms]

Haha! yeah, that's my second fav scene! thus my avatar... :heh:

^^;

my favorite scene is also my avatar. almost like a resurrected Teresa


it was also pretty much a given how clare was gonna get a powerup after. ^^;




my other favorite scene was in the extra manga how Teresa released her yoma powers against rosemary. that was definitely awesome!

[Zsych]

Teresa doesn't seem to have gotten a powerup from the dream itself though. Not that I wouldn't have appreciated Clare finding an inner link with Teresa somehow.

@Cipher: Keeping it short... don't think Raki made the difference to her that she did to Teresa. I agree though that without him or someone else to interact with, there are sides of her personality that we wouldn't have seen.

[Mikke]

There's another scene that's worth about a million bucks.. I think ppl will agree with me on that one.
The official Miria introduction as "Phantom Miria" in the slashers, when the male AB commented on her speed; In the Anime it was just a glorious scene, no more no less. With that creepy, electronic "tee dam tee dam" sound and the close up on Miria's face. Awesome...! (drools on that moment)

[Fenrir_valindri]

Yeah, Miria's nickname is still one of the best in the series, only Teresa of the Faint Smile matches it for awesomness.

[Mikke]

In the manga btw, Teresa's smile wasn't that faint really :confused: Infact it was more mockingly annoying..

In the anime on the other hand it was perfect! just faint enough to be creepy.... Like on one of the dolls in one of those 17th century gothic doll houses....

http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7029/claymore520080221162450jc3.jpg

[HelloMrBrahms]

the cool thing about Teresa's nickname is that is does not imply power or even any sort of threatening will. Every other claymore's nickname is one that is supposed to instill fear in another [usually the name of their special skill]. it seems whoever gave her the name decided that she was so powerful that a mild name like Faint Smile would be fearful enough, to one who knew about her.

[Awakened]

One of my favorite is when Clare escapes from Ophelia, then realizing that Ophelia was waiting for her.
I was just as shocked as Clare.

[SoulesS69]

all flora scenes ^^
anime and manga

Meh, I actually prefer the manga smile, that particular smile in that image was actually one of my least favorite anime views of Teresa :P

[hell88]

My favourite scene is when Jean died to bring Clare back.

[Mikke]

Ah, a fellow Jean fan :) Yeah, she was definetly the most noble of all claymores. I doubt any of the fab 7 would sacrifice themselves for a comrade; Yes, even Miria wouldn't I think.

Oh wait, Yuma would gladly do it.

[hell88]

HAHA Yuma would probably do it if Clare told her too.

[King Lycan]

._. all scenes that Ilene were expect with the priscilla AB scene

[hell88]

Yeah I don't like that scene either, and I don't like Priscilla's awakened form.

[Fenrir_valindri]

Hehe, I thought that scene was quite well done, and a number of people (including an art major friend of mine) consider Priscilla's AB form to be one of the better ones in the series.

Of course most people just don't like that scene due to Teresa's death. :p

[King Lycan]

lol yea cheap shot

[Zsych]

The recent ownage of Agatha was kinda cool

[Torri_fay_torren@hot]

For me its more like favorite scenes:

Entire Teresa arc was just so moving but I particulerly
liked this part

When the bandits came to the town were Clare was and Teresa sees Clare , she just has such a horrified face. And then , Swish!! " Say your prayes retches!" And then she kills them all! You know you all were like die bandits die!(sorry, I guess I 've just been watching too much Death Note:p) But I was just filled with Morbid Satisfaction at this part. We rarely get scenes like this, were the bad guys get just what they deserve.

When Jean died saving Clare :upset: I was like NO Jean No and then Clare breaking down "I am the weakest of all Claymores. Why are you dead and not me" Hear face was so sad :(

When Clare starts Awakening in Piata. As she completly Awakens all her limbs and they show the close up of her closeing in on Rigaldo. Regaldo is just in awa and he says "Superb" An Amazing Moment!! Yagi-san is my Hero what an incredible Artist!

OH, that town scene with the bandits, Teresa, and Clare was for sure one of the best. Teresa's eyes, expression, and actions were just WOW! And Clare awakening in the manga was awesome too. Partial awakening so hot!

[chibamonster]

I was floored when Clare introduced herself as number 47 to Miria, Helen and Deneve. Especially when Helen explained there were only 47 slots available. At the time we knew about the ranking system from Teresa and had met numbers 1-5. After seeing how royally Teresa destroyed the youma it seemed to me like Clare should be fairly tough for inheriting her strength. How wrong I was. I just sat there thinking, Clare is the weakest one? THE WEAKEST? What? Raki's response was pretty good too.

It was so different than what I expected to see that it has to be one of my favorite moments.

I thought Clare was fairly tough as well, until I found out she's the weakest. Then I started thinking about how powerful some claymores must be, and I was like HOLY CRAP!

[Kikaifan]

Irene's return. I'd been waiting for it for a while, beginning to doubt... then bam! cloaked stranger, just desserts for Ophelia. Ophelia was a pretty scary Ax Crazy and a good character in that sense but in the end I just can't bring myself to like a sadist, even a fictional one.

First Awakened Being hunt. The fight wasn't so great for me, but the discussion afterwards and Galatea's descriptions of their emotions and the conflict in the group gave me chills for some reason. Getting introduced to Miria, Galatea, and the weakness and greatness of Clare all in one arc was great value-for-time, too.

[chibamonster]

When I first read through the manga I had no idea that Irene was still alive. I was convinced she had been slaughtered along with Sophia and Noella. It was so incredible to see Ophelia get so royally owned after seeing the power gap between her and Clare. Then I had the strangest desire to poke Irene's nose and say "beep". And pull one of her ears for some reason.

I went nuts when Miria said, "We are already awakened."

For some reason I wanted to pull one of her ears too, but now that I think about it mabye Irene's ears are like that from being pulled too much. Lol

[koffy]

I like the whole chapter but I mostly like when Miria did that #!@* awesome cleave on Agatha :D.

[zer0suit]

Galatea, Jean, and Clare fighting Duff

[Docile Yoma]

so many memorable scenes, though the only one I can distinctly think of right now since a few of you mentioned the teresa vs bandits chapter is
towards the end when teresa is holding a just-woken-up clare, and the scene pans out to show they're sitting amidst a circle of blood and bodies =D

[hell88]

That was a good scene, it was a good way to end that episode.

Another one of my favourite scenes would be when Clare and Miria killed that six armed awakened being.

[ClaFanN1]

My favourite scene in claymore is when Clare fully awakens and the simple aura of the transformation destroys the whole surrounding mountains.

This scene is from Claymore Season 2, to be released in 2010...
Sorry i just took doraemon's time machine...

[Viperx]

the Introduction of Ophelia and the "game" she plays with Clair, one of my favourite characters, so evil its fun to watch.

[TheSilver-EyedKiller]

hi!!! my favorite scenes are the dead of jeane and when deneve took the undine´s sword to fight for revenge.......

[Sleepy Speculator]

Any scene with Helen's jaw scraping the ground as Clare does something outrageous again...Come on someone tell her about that arm...

[chibamonster]

The surprise of when Miria realized they had been sent to hunt a male AB when up until that point we had only heard of female warriors. It made my brain do a 180 thinking of the implications like that there must have been male warriors at some point in the distant past.

[Enara]

when I first saw ritful I wanted to hug her.

and when in Vol. one when clare kills her friend

and in chapter 78when galatea says "you cut my hair" she knew that the AB was dead meet

[hell88]

I was thinking about all my favourite scenes then I watched a clip of the end of episode 26 when Teresa's ghost is standing where Jean's sword is. I actually got kind of mad at that, because its Jean's sword, why the hell is Teresa thier, it should be Jean. They should of had Teresa standing somewhere else. I'm sure there are other Jean fans that would agree.

[lsley]

I'm sure there are other Jean fans that would agree.

Why do people like Jean so much? I really don't understand it.
- She's manly.
- She's not too strong.
- She has a terrible haircut.
- She looks disgusting with her arm drilled and dedrilled.
- She was Clares pet.
- She died not too many chapters after she was introduced.
- Her AB form looks more like a toy than an AB.

[chibamonster]

Jean also spends most of her time without clothing. No one else does that but the recent appearance of Agatha. Jean has one of the most powerful attacks, cares for her friends and subordinates, is loyal, trustworthy, honorable, grateful, willing to sacrifice herself for the good of others and so on. She does not give into the claymore number based elitism. While she did want revenge against Duff for torturing her subordinates she never went berserk. Jean keeps a cool head no matter what. Jean has rock solid will power and morales of steel. She saves Clare by sacrificing herself keeping a promise she made and she dies with a smile on her face. Jean's first thought after being attacked by Rigald was not how to save herself but the need to protect the other leaders for the survival of the others.

Jean does not seem to be skilled at youki reading or necessarily a great leader but she gives it her all and leads from the front. She is the weakest single digit (until her partial awakening possibly). She must know she is weaker than Clare. Her life debt is not to someone weaker than her. Clare risked a lot to save her and not just once. Jean is quiet but honest.

Jean, like every other claymore, probably had a very difficult past. Yet unlike Ophelia she clung to her human side to the point that Galatea knew she would die before awakening. Jean was able to stare Riful in the face while being tortured as legitimate arguments were made about them being the same type of monster without her resolve ever fading. Even as she passed her limit and her body transformed uncontrollably she held on to her human heart enough to keep her limbs from breaking her restraints. Even with a completely awakened body Jean was happy that Clare would end her life as a 'human'. She cried and begged Clare to end it quickly as she could not hold it any longer. I think Jean is up there with Clare tending Teresa and blind-Rabona Galatea for noble Claymores in the series except Jean was that way the whole time we saw her.

But I agree that Jean has a terrible hair cut. I really do not like her hair cut. It makes me forget that she is a hot chick like every other claymore. She does not have eye brows either.

[Anima]

Thanks chibamonster :)
As for regarding Jean's AB form, IMO, it's the most unique one. Indeed, it was one my favorite scenes where her awakened form was revealed.

I thought her haircut was very befitting for her char.

[AthenAltena]

I loved the whole "you cut my hair" exchange just because it was so fitting for them and emphasized how owned Agatha was.

[Ryuken]

For me it would be the one where little Clair reaches out to Teresa. This scene is so intense that it makes Teresa cry. And who would have thought that someone could make the mighty Teresa cry.

Don't you agree guys?

[lsley]

Also one of my favorite scenes (only in the anime, not in the manga) was when Theresa was killed. I was pissed and stuff but this scene was so surprising and the sound kinda... superb.
kill me kill me (sad slow music) I will kill you it's the last thing I can do for you bla bla (still sad slow music) WUSH (music stops) kling kling of Theresas sword and then her head falling, everything going really fast and unexpected after this point. IMO it's a cinematic masterstroke (maybe the onliest one in the whole series) that's why I watched this scene about 20 times :rolleyes:

I'm really happy now that the Theresa worshippers don't know where I live :heh:

[yvcso]

I liked all the parts with Ophelia, she's just great.
I also like all the parts with Galatea, my favorite character, 'cause she's one of the best claymores.

Ummm, the last chapter is great, when clarice comes to Rabona, I was like: "History repeats itself"; another weak warrior, number 47, comes with someone to town and meets Sid and Galk.
But then Clare shows up, and Sid sees her, and yells: "It is her!".


Ummm, from the Extra (manga), when Isley bows to Priscilla, and when Riful comes to kill him, and he sits there, naked on the floor (I think), when Priscilla puts her hand on his head; he laughs and says to Riful that she has no chance against her.

[racjona]

you named almost every scene and most of them are my fav (in anime and manga); but it's obvious - Claymore is full of breath-taking scenes (I think).

I like very much that one in Pieta, when those 3 AB atacked the city. Flora's team fought that "turtle" and the moment he controled all members of the team - situation was very bad and ... Clare uses Quicksword (BANG!!!) - that was amasing :D

And Flora's face ->:twitch: priceless

("...in my team no. 39 i 47 are useless" lol )

[DazarGaidin]

My favorite scene is where clare and teresa are hugging and teresa's realization that clare was comforting her. Hands down.

- Jean's has a nice character and she cares about her friends, she's not a monster like others (e.g.: ophelia)
- Jean's is pretty strong, she is the only among all claymores which can penetrate duff's rigid body.
- Her haircut is at most original making her unique.
- She was loyal to clare because she felt in debt for her, she only wanted to retribute the favour.
- Flora died as well after few time and did much less in the fight againt rigardo.
- Her AB form is beautifull, a butterfly.

- You're a completely wrong about jean, maybe your taste is terrible, you gotta love priscilla :)

[Mikke]

Jean is not manly.. Undine is, Rachel is but not Jean.. She may have that SSJ3 vibe about her but that's what makes her so cool. :p

[hell88]

Wow with so many people defending Jean I won't have too. YAY!!!! LOL

[nekowai]

Not even Undine is manly...her relaxed form is pretty delicate remember? :)
Manly = RACHEL (new nº 5)

[Mikke]

Yeah but Undine still has that scruffy axl rose voice going on.. Jean's is just falsly made deep to sound badass. :p

[hell88]

Yeah but Undine still has that scruffy axl rose voice going on.. Jean's is just falsly made deep to sound badass. :p

It would have been funny in the war in the north when Undine killed that awakened being with Deneve, if Undine yelled out WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!:heh: Instead of that stuff that she says to Deneve about being born weak or something like that.

[yezhanquan]

Mitsuishi Kotono (Jean's VA) = manly? Man (no pun intended), what does that make Romi-san (who did Teresa)?

[Sheky]

Surprised that no one mentioned this one yet.

I really like the camp fire scene when Irene talks about Teresa and Clare begins to weep. It's simple, yet touching and cathartic. The kind of emotion that it invokes pretty much sums up why I love the series.

I've watched that part repeatedly and I just can't watch it without getting a lump in the throat every time.

I think that part could have been longer. I also think that Clare's training with Irene should have been longer and that we would know what happened to Irene once Raphaela showed herself because I have been waiting forever to find out if she is still alive or not.

[Torri_fay_torren@hot]

For me besides the teresa arc the most moveing moment would have to be when Jean died. I know that many people have said this before me but still....

" Jean, No... this can't be true, please open you eyes.... Jean. How can this be!? Why did you die? I am the weakest of all Claymores!
Then why are you the one that is dead and not me.!?

That was almost as sad for me as Teresa's death. I really liked, Jean she was cool and perhaps the most honorable
of all of the Claymores. But more then that was Clares reaction to her death. It was the first time since Teresa died that
Clare has really broken down. She always is so so cold and the only emotion she ever shows is anger. I mean she shed a
few tears when she was with Ilena but that wasn't the same. Since Teresa died Clare hasn't cared about anything but revenge,
but with Raki's entrence Clare has been gaining friends and slowly opening herself back up again only to have Jean die. What's worse
she died saving her.

And more, for once we get a look at Clares insucurities. She calls herself the weakest Claymore. Whenever her rank has come
up in the past Clare had been calm about it and you had the feeling that she was going to try to 'prove them all wrong.' so to speak.
But this time Clare admites to bieng weak and helpless. I just feel that since Teresa died, that that was the worst thing to happen to Clare.
And at that point while I was sobbing with Clare,( NO... Not Jean! WAHHH), I was just thinking.
Leave Clare alone, hasn't she suffered enough?

[Yosei]

Galatea's entrance was pretty cool to me. After the crazy scenes with Ophelia, in which I don't think I've seen in other anime before, I seriously thought all the top 5 Claymores are whack and borderline insane (I hit the mark pretty much, for Alicia, Beth, and Ophelia anyways). But having a high-ranked warrior who actually cares for lower fighters (pretty much everyone is below Galatea in her generation aside from the two mindless twins) is something not so common, at least in my understanding of the Claymore world.

Either that, or Teresa's death. Usually in many stories the 'senior figure' to the protagonist usually doesnt die in an 'indignified' way, and even has time to say some meaningful last words to the main character before she dies. Claymore's different from that, and I appreciated it.

[hell88]

Thanks for reminding me how sad that was to watch.:(:sad:

[Griffen-Derek]

I got a few fav scenes in mind. Let's see:

In the manga:

The kiss - for being a surprise and showing Clare is clearly more human than common humans.

Jin's death - really touching.

Rigardo's death - "SUPERB" - not further comments needed ;)

Clare's first fight against the 5 Youma - her strenght is so obvious they don't show it in the anime, only to enforce the doubts on Clare's really strenght... would be a great anime scene...

In the anime:

The monstrous clash of swords between Irene and Teresa, then between Teresa and Priscila.

The talks between Irene and Clare.

Clare's resolve to survive, right after Miria's first revelations. her willpower can be felt there. very intense.

The fear in Clare's eyes, seeing death under the madness of Ophelia.

Irene slashing Ofelia all over, thus saving Clare.

Clare in her black hood and suit, fighting Cid and Galk on the rooves with daggers. Extremely Elegant, Classy, Sexy!!! So Ghost-like!! And such a beauty!!!

[yurifan]

my fav scenes is when rapheale meets teresa and how teresa introduces herself.

[Mandrake]

The rooftop scene with the second fight between Galk and the other guy, trying to fight íncognito Clare. Ep 3. The cinematics plus animation and (my favourite Claymore music track) puts this scene in very high regards XD

[Synyster]

I love when Teresa dies. It's a very emotional moment.

[Ganshou-dono]

when teresa died...that was really something...too sad and quite a suprise...

I like Miata being with Clarice :D they are so cute with each other

[NobodyMan]

My favorite scenes, in no particular order:

-the kiss scene between Clare and Raki. :love:
-the battle of pieta Rigald was so cool. :D
-the fight between Isley and Luciella (sp?) :cool:
-the re-introduction of Raki. :)
-and of course the whole Teresa fiasco. :heh:

[williamaugustus]

i agree with all of these

but to add:
i like the scene when clare tell raki she can smile like a prostitute and he freaks out.:p

[KillerYomaFromSpace]

I was writting my favourite scenes here, and I felt like I was writting the whole manga storyline, this is just too awesome to pick favourites =)

so I erased everything and go with my single favourite part, that is Teresa's fight and death

[King Lycan]

Every Scene which features Flora or Irene and they don't get killed X3

[devils_alternative]

This is my first post :)

This is my fav scene (manga)


http://photos-731.friendster.com/e1/photos/13/78/31058731/1_916340321l.jpg

[Misavampire]

Id Have To Say This Is My Top One.

~Anime~
When Clare Says She Knows How To Smile Like A Prostitute. XD I Giggle With Mad Laughter Everytime I Hear That.

~Manga~
When Teresa Is Sentances To Death By The Organisation, And When The (I dunno 5?) Warriors Strike Her. It was a 2 page thing okay. and on the next page you see that Teresa actually owned them instead xD

[Captain Yoruichi]

My favorite part in both the anime and the manga is this...

Irene: Live Clare! Your staying alive is the only proof that Teresa ever existed.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Anime: Teresa vs. Numbers 2-5. My favorite part was when Teresa and Irene were doing Flash-Sword so much that the windows around them shattered. Now that's epic.

Manga: Re-introduction of Raki. Oh yeah, Raki's so cool (unlike in the anime). :D

[Juuni]

Hmmm...there are so MANY of them that I loved. It practically easier to write those that I didn't like. But here's a try:

* every scene with Isley and Rigardo
* almost every scene with Irene, but especially those after Teresa's death
* and speaking of ...yup, almost every scene with Teresa
* the Pieta "arc" was one amazing scene after the other

... so many great moments!

The only exceptions would be those with Ophelia. Those were plain sadistic.

[Anima]

The only exceptions would be those with Ophelia. Those were plain sadistic.
I used to think the same thing.. but after watching Claymore over and over, I grew to like Ophelia alot. Especially after her redemption. :)

[Juuni]

I used to think the same thing.. but after watching Claymore over and over, I grew to like Ophelia alot. Especially after her redemption. :)

I know, after her redemption I became almost sympathetic towards her. I'm really curious to see how will she appear in the manga. Haven't reached that point yet. From what I've seen so far there are small differences of personality between the manga and anime, in the portrayal of characters. Wonder if that will be Ophelia's case as well.

[KillerYomaFromSpace]

any possible redemption Ophelia could have had, became invalid to me since I read extra scene 2

[Anima]

any possible redemption Ophelia could have had, became invalid to me since I read extra scene 2
It's probably because you are a Miria fan. If you could forgive the physical harm Ophelia did to Clare, I see it much easier to forgive her for just not delivering the black card.

[KillerYomaFromSpace]

It's probably because you are a Miria fan.

It's because I'm a Miria fan

If you could forgive the physical harm Ophelia did to Clare, I see it much easier to forgive her for just not delivering the black card.

but there is a diference, when she fights Clare, she smells AB in her, she thought she was fighting an AB, but in the extra scene she is just trying to turn what she knows as normal claymores into ABs in order to kill them later, in the first one you can say she is berserk for ABs, but here she shows premeditation.

Also, even if she didn't physically harm Miria, she sufered worse sequels than Clare had

[Droplet]

My favorite scene was when Teresa realized she was the one being comforted. Not only was it emotional, but upon seeing that I realized that I had to stay with this manga until the end.

[Captain Yoruichi]

^
That was a good one, too.

[Anima]

I suppose you have a point here. She was obsessed with killing AB to the point where she lost it but still I find the way she cried out when she realized she awakened and how she encouraged Clare to finish her off and carry on with her mission was enough repentance. Also how she resisted eating human guts was unique although now we have Prissy doing it.

[chibamonster]

Ophelia's character was consistent; she wanted to kill AB's, herself included. I cannot really see her as redeemed, but her striking humanity that she had as an AB really opened the theory that AB's are not at the mercy of their own appetites and desires. Ophelia really served as a counter point to Clare for me. Both of them lost their loved ones to Priscilla. Both of them were driven by an obsession for revenge and by hatred. Ophelia's hate, however, killed her own humanity in the process and turned her into a monster long before she awakened.

[Juuni]

I used to think the same thing.. but after watching Claymore over and over, I grew to like Ophelia alot. Especially after her redemption. :)

Ok, I past that moment in the manga yesterday or the day before and yes, you were right. You do grow to like Ophelia at a second view of the story. She is a very interesting character. In a Tarantino kind of way. :)

[shelter]

She is a very interesting character. In a Tarantino kind of way. :)

She is positively twisted :) Which is why one of my favourite scenes is when she first Clare. I like the look of pure delirious insanity on her face.

Any scene which features the tagteam trio of Clare-Jeane-Galatea is also worth watching more than once. I liked how they completely owned Dauf.

[VeNjuNsE]

I felt the sick and twisted nature of Priscilla when she wiped Teresa, Irene and co.
The music that came in was perfect. Her deceit was so distasteful as it was given right as Teresa was pitying her and even trying to help her. It was simply gut-wrenching.

The best claymore fanboy scene? lol the bandit was hilarious when he was mocking Human Clare saying "teresa... teresaa... and such" and then when Teresa made the announcement immediately after that none of them would live. Very, very bombass.

and teresa fighting irene, claymore-priscilla, and the others.

[irvinethearcher]

-Clare with a club trying to prevent teresa from being raped by the bandit
-Clare jumping down the ravine trying to follow teresa
-Theresa cutting all the other claymores who shoul kill her with one strike
-Clare saving miria from rigardo
-the fab4 joining swords like the 4 musketeers

[Captain Yoruichi]

From the Teresa Extra Chapter of the manga.

Teresa: That's because I...was just that much stronger. And because you don't understand...you are number 2.

[othera]

-Clare with a club trying to prevent teresa from being raped by the bandit
-Theresa cutting all the other claymores who shoul kill her with one strike

[Anima]

From the Teresa Extra Chapter of the manga.

Don't you go on stealing my sig!! :heh:
But yeah, that extra chapter was pure win!

[Torri_fay_torren@hot]

I really like in witches Maw how Clare finally manages to pull of the quick sword in a controled manner ,and she slashes around Jean without hitting her. Even Riful is shoked. It was a great moment for Clare.

Great choices on #1 and #2

[Ryuken]

#1 from @Ryus and also the same scene by @JB, that is, #5. And also #6 from @JB.:)

[TheNumberThree]

there's so many to choose from, i'll just go with a few from the anime...

-when jean and clare are talking in the woods and rubel and rafaela appear out of nowhere
-when dauf goes to smash galatea and his hands form a circle around her
-when helen destroys rigaldos arm
-when noel is confronting priscilla and she says "get up you little b*tch" :heh:

[romari]

My favourite scene in claymore is "..That little girl with half of my size taught me that...tears can flow even from silver eyes..."
Also the one where appears that flash right before Clare cuts Rigardos arm

Also i like pages 15 and 16 of Charlotte Saga :p

[HegemonKhan]

some of the ones i can think of right now off the top of my head:

1. galatea whining about clare cutting her hair when galatea was held hostage by agatha, and clare's like, oh i'm sorry, i didn't care about your hair because i never cared about my own hair, but if you don't want me to cut it i won't. than agatha is like, WTF, i'm about to kill galatea, and you're talking about her HAIR!!!! WTF!!! than clare is like, "i said no one else is going to die now that i'm here". clare slices agatha into pieces killing her. AWESOME FUNNY SCENE!

2. deneve kicking undine back out of the awakened one's body controlling yoki range, during the battle in pieta.

3. deneve kneeing audrey in the stomach, who just had waken up in helen's arm as she carries her away from riful.

4. clare punching (gently, kind of.. lol) raki in the face, after he displayed being worried and concerned about clare (this was either when they were in the holy city or hunting the male awakened one with miria, helen, and deneve). she needs to learn how show affection when a guy cares about her. punching them in the face is not how you do that!!!!

5. teresa, laughing, and than ripping open her top, flashing the bandits.... i haven't in a long time...feel free to take me....

6. one day, going back through the manga and anime, trying to count all the times that clare has face-planted (fallen or slammed on her face into the ground) into the ground, lol !!!!

7. teresa kicking clare 3 times in the town

8. teresa throwing unconscious-dehydrated clare into the pond to wake her up

9. teresa, after catching clare from falling down the cliff, yanks her up and slams her into the ground, lol

10. clare with a serious "attitude" commanding to riful, "TELL ME THE NAME OF THE MAN IN THE NORTH. I AM GOING TO KILL HIS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(maybe this is only in the anime, i can't remember if it is also in the manga or not)

11. after ophelia slices up raki, raki replies, "shut up. this is just a flesh wound. your attacks don't even make me itch". ...monty python anyone...

12. HELEN, she's a riot!

some of the best i can think of are

12A. helen teasing clare about raki

12B. helen meeting jean and clare in pieta and having learned that jean is a single digit..

helen to jean: "you're a single digit and you're serving clare?? you know what rank clare is? she's DEAD LAST, DEAD LAST!!!"

13. noel is REALLY DUMB. count how many times she says, "eh" (if i remember right). noel is so dumb, it's funny.

14. etc..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my most favorite "scene" :

one day going through the manga and anime, actually COUNTING how many times clare's face falls or is slammed on/into the ground !!!!!

maybe i'm weird, but i find this to be a really humanizing element for clare. makes her seem more like a normal human, than a "superman" type character. i mean how many all powerful "superman" and "superpower" characters that you know have their face splat into the ground just once... now add up how many times clare's face splats into the ground...... lol ... clare definately has one tough face.....

forgot these two...

1. Cid (the knife/dagger throwing holy city rabona guy who's friends and always with galk the big more knight like guy with the broadsword) giving clare a kiss, lol, and raki's reaction and them getting into a fight over clare...and clare just nonchalantly watches for a bit, and than calls raki to come since she's leaving the city now...

.... it's a good thing clare didn't give Cid her "prostitute" naughty wicked smile/smirk ..... angelina jolie... check out this WICKED SMIRK, BOOYAH !!!! who's got all the guys of the world now, huh huh ?? (ach, this sounds more like helen than clare, oh well...)

2. helen during the tavern scene drinking it up and getting drunk (well, can't really tell, she didn't really change much from her normal self, hehe). in holy city of rabona after they killed agatha....

wait beer and a tavern in a holy city... rofl....

but anyways about it...

i was SO NOT surprised when i first saw it. i always knew helen was a great beer drinking buddy to have with you.

You guys should just quote the entire manga, lol.

in ep 26 when teresa told clare stay among human and being human

:confused: But the anime ended with episode 22... :p

In all seriousness, do you mean the scene where Clare recalls the words Teresa told Clare ages ago? Which is from the scene when Teresa left Clare in the town that bandits later attacked. Since Teresa's ghost didn't speak to Clare but Clare recalled what she told her ages ago.

IMHO that scene is good but the manga's equivalent of that scene (taking place at the same time but totally different in content) is much better and one of my favorite parts of the manga.

:heh: That's what I meant.

:heh: sorry i thought u meant sth else

There must be ones that I liked more but this one "cool moment" I cannot get out of my head right now - Riful's first intervention in order to save her husband (it's late and I can't remember that dumbass' name either) from Clare and Jean when her arm awakened insinuating the superior fully awakened form she must have.

Do you mean this moment?

Oh, I love the way you worded that "when her arm awakened insinuating the... ...awakened form she must have." ;)

That's the one. :)

Rather than going on about how her "power level is over 9000", claymores could confirm their Youki readings with their own eyes. That arm-body contrast is too cool.

there are many good scenes i like, but this one early in the story is my favourite:

when Terassa cried and hugged the little long-haired Clare

reason is i think i feel my eyes wet at that moment
