Claymore - Q & A

Meh, I guess. I saw that as more like Teresa simply being used to sleeping in her normal upright position for so many years and/or her disgust of humans.

I can't believe the Organization had comfort in mind for the girls when they designed the suit.

Roflmao, since when did Teresa become like a Queen?

Well, at any rate, your questions aren't answerable. It looks like it's all one-piece to me, but I don't know.

Seems like two pieces to me. Top portion and bottom portion. Three if you include the cape.

see to the sides of the black strip with her symbol on it, is that bare flesh of hers or is she wearing some type of light clothing?

claymore epi 2 u can see clare wearing only the black strip collar something when rubel brought her new clothes...funny thing, does those armor on their shoulder really helps?, coz AB atks always cut thru...

[romari]

@Raaz: Hmm, thinking that way why they dont go naked then? Obviously none of her clothing/armor will ever be good for protection
The uniform is not supposed to protect anything, it only serves identity purposes, so humans know a claymore when they meet one
The only real defensive weapon they have is the sword...

[zato_1one]

The armor can defend Yoma's attack.

Last I heard, Claymores were known better for their silver eyes rather than their armor.

Spoiler for manga pages -- chapter 2, chapter 64:

HegemonKhan, as you can see, the female Claymore uniform consists of: skin tight trousers; skin tight shirt ( a V-neck long sleeve shirt having a triangular-shaped metal plate on its upper back with a hook -- which purpose is to hold the sword still. The metal plate has 2 arming points on its upper extremities that are used to block it in some way on a claymore's shoulders ); a kind of a collar scarf, secured around the neck by two hinges, with the warrior's symbol on it and which looks to be long enough to reach the navel; gloves. No underwear and no socks. Then there are metal boots, vambraces, spaulders etc. Visible skin: the upper front and the upper back.

Is that enough detail for you Hedgy?

Hi There,


After some thought, I have come to dwell on a question which, possibly, others may have considered too, but I choose to float it here for open discussion.


I was wondering on a theoretical scenario in which Miria, leader of the "Ghosts", is either killed, incapacitated or captured. In this respect, I was wondering who might take command or who might already be afforded that role should such a situation arise .


Going by the conventions of the organisation, that would put Cynthia in command; though going by power, Clare would come to the fore.


It is a question that has lingered for a bit and is entirely open for discussion, should the forum be interested.


Thank You,


Blue Pentacle.

i'm quite certain that the change of command would go to galatea. she's very intelligent, clever and can fight with the best of them. but they'll look to clare first, but she really wouldn't be interested in the least.

so yeah... galatea would be the best candidate for the job.

[Ryuken]

I think Clare would probably refuse, like she does not care for such things as leadership and leading. She is like, "just jump into the fray" kind of girl.

[Shiek927]

Claire is the worst probably, next to Yuma I suppose. Most of it is disinterest since I can't believe she would want to take the job. She is too single-minded to be a leader.

I second Clarakiss in saying Galatea would be the best choice.

[Ryuken]

The thing about Galatea for me is that she still is not fully fetched member of the ghosts. But however, if she were to join them then I think most would agree that she would be the right person for the job, since she is the eldest and the most experience and also not to mention the all time eye of the claymore world.

So...it's been quite a long time since i came back to this thread. For the manga readers (no spoilers please), can you tell me if you see an "ending" coming along any time soon? Or is there still a lot to the story?

2) How many "new" chapters has it been since the end of the ANIME. (Where the anime branches off from the manga is what im referring to).

3) Do you think/know if we'll be getting an anime adaption of the manga? Or is there still not enough material yet.

Thanks!

edit:
I've been waiting patiently for this series to end so i can either watch the anime adaption (if there will be one) in one go, or just finish the manga in one go.

The manga almost seems to be coming to a closure, with almost all characters gathered in one spot. However, Yagi still has stuff to write about like the Mainland and he said that Claymore would be around 22 volumes long (correct me if I'm wrong). We are in volume 17 so, unless he changed his mind, the manga is not ending anytime soon.

2) How many "new" chapters has it been since the end of the ANIME. (Where the anime branches off from the manga is what im referring to).

41 chapters, I think.

3) Do you think/know if we'll be getting an anime adaption of the manga? Or is there still not enough material yet.

The problem is not about if there is enough material. The problem is that the end of the anime screwed up the storyline and unless they remake completely the last episodes, they can't continue the anime.

IMHO second large "arc" is going to end soon, but as far as we know Claymore should continiue for at least 40-50 chapters. Anime moreless covers first large arc. Anime has different ending than manga.

2) How many "new" chapters has it been since the end of the ANIME. (Where the anime branches off from the manga is what im referring to).

Untill chapter 58 anime has same plotline as manga, anime ending is much different from manga. If you don't want to read whole manga (manga is better than anime), start with chapter 57.

3) Do you think/know if we'll be getting an anime adaption of the manga? Or is there still not enough material yet.

There is enought material, but anime ending differs so much from manga, that it's imposible to start second season after ending of first. It's possible to do another adaptation of Claymore, like Full Metal Alchemist and FMA Brotherhood, but I doubt I'll be anytime soon.

EDIT: MisterJB was faster Chapter 41 is a beggining of Witch Maw arc, chapter 57 is beggining of Invasion of Pieta arc. Inconsistences between anime and manga started even sooner, IMHO in chapter 31 (Clare vs Ophelia), but first major difference was Clare vs Rigaldo fight (chapter 58).

[whitepearl]

They'd have to start the anime over so that there is no epic boss battle inside a volcano...and perhaps this new adaptation could include some of the random bits of humor Madhouse left out (such as the kiss Clare got in Rabona in the early part of the story LOL)

The anime diverges as early as chapter 55. In that capter we had the Clare vs Flora figth.
