Raki: My hair! I look incredible! It is like you worked a miracle on me! Just looking at it makes me feel fantastic!
Isley: Remember, being a warrior means more than just having great skill. A warrior must also have great style.
Raki: *crying* Thank you Master! Truly you are great! *Hugs*
Isley: There is nothing more I can teach you. Go and take these hair products with you. Destiny waits for no man.

If the little girl is half Raki's height, it doesn't matter whether Raki is 6 ft tall or 5 ft tall. The little girl will just be 3 ft or 2'6". It's the direct relation that is important.

Many of you here said that you are 6 ft+. Assuming that you had at least decently broad shoulders, what height do you believe that a person must be that they can sit easily on one of your shoulders?

Did some guesstimates, based on about a 7" shoulder (6'5") and the proportions site I linked to earlier...

(117cm) 3'10" would be about my limit probably - or about the average 6 year old child (source). Smaller/younger kids than that would be more comfortable. Not that I'd want to do it for long, because after several minutes the 45 lbs might get heavy.

And that, coincidentally, would make the relative sizes about the same as Raki and the girl.

Give the kid some credit. After all, his reappearance isn't bad, by any standards.

Imagine those two meeting:

Clarice: Who the heck are you?!

Raki: Who the heck are YOU?!

Miata: I have TWO mommas now!

[Ancient Soul]

Is amusing that now Clarice and Miata will be under the tutelage of Galatea the one they were suposed to kill.In fact i don't think that they can a have a better teacher right now.
If Clarice (like Clare was before her) is smart will copy the tehniques she just witness in action (windcutter/quicksword/drill sword/mirage).The three of them can become an interesting team.How will explain Clarice to Miata that Galatea is now their governess?

Clarice : Miata, from now one you will listen to Galatea!
Miata : Why?
Clarice : Because, because...is grandma!
Galatea : ...!?!...oh really!

...next day...

Galatea : Is time to start our training...Clarice you have to clean the cathedral from top to bottom from dust...Miata go play with the other childrens...
Clarice : But...i thought that you will train us!!!
Galatea : This is training!I watched a few kung-fu movies and cleaning dust and playing with others are the best training methods.Miata need to open his mind a little and you need to train your muscles a bit, unless you want to hit another tree or a wall in the next fight!

...after a year...

Galatea : Now show me what i teach you...while reading other mangas...
Clarice (draw her claymore): Bankay! (half of a forest turn to shreds)
Miata (open both eyes) : Miata(ama)terasu! (the other half ignite and turn to ashes)
Galatea : Don't forget to say everywhere to everyone who teach you...hope that no one will bother me now for a 1000 years...especially Riful and Miria.

hahahah! OMG that was SO gay

[Enara]

hmmm. I would love to see miata play with other children.

[clarakiss~]

@ enara - the children are all going to be scarred for life if miata starts doing what's she doing to clarice yelling "mama!!" (girls and... ... ... boys) >.> *laughs*

[Ancient Soul]

Looked for Miata (name) and found that mean :

Reward

Dictionary Entry: meed
Pronunciation: \'mēd\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English mēd; akin to Old High German miata - reward, Greek
Date: before 12th century
1: archaic - earned reward or wage
2: a fitting return or recompense

Quite an intersting name for a young claymore who aim for nr. 1.

[yezhanquan]

Miata will need a lot of help and support, and I think between Clarice and Galatea, they can at least teach her to speak properly.

how she hid her youma energy... well i dont think she is really doing it on purpose. i think it is more natural due to her loss of memory. she never has to use it and therefore it hides itself away. so Galeata would not sense it just like she had no clue the 'seven' were coming.

as for my prediction for the next chapter... i think it will go back to Clare's conversation with Cid and Galk. they will end up mentioning Prisillica's name (if it is actually her) and Clare will run off to try and find Raki. the other anti-org claymores will follow and Clare will end up having to explain her past (finally). about Teresa and Prisillica. how she chose to enter the org. how she is only 1/4 youma. how and where she got her right arm. so on and so on.

each of the others will then have their own reaction:
Helen will be all "OMG how the heck did you survive. blah blah."
Maria will be all "well that makes total sense. when we first met you had a powerful presence but did not have much power- it was her presence i felt. oh and i have heard stories of her but they never told of her death or what happened to #s 2-5. and how you used her technique."
Deneve will be all "so thats her story."
Galeata will remember late chapter 45 and early 46- whhen Riful talked of Isley's 'woman' and how Clare flipped out.
Yuma will realize the importance of the Teresa/Clare statue.
Tabitha and Cynthia will just be like "huh. whats going on."
Clarice will be like "there are even scarier ABs out there. i dont think i am cut out for this."
and finally Miata will be all "mama. feed me."
thats my prediction anyway.

i agree with williamaugustus. if it were prisillica with raki then this would be a good storyline. i have always wanted clare to tell about her past.

although i cant tell whether or not it is prisillica. it could be or it could be that it isnt. either way i cant wait to find out.

[Bikerider]

and here I thought she was named for a small sport car from Mazda

Must be you.

[Sleepy Speculator]

random kid: oh wow that sword is so huge, who is that guy?

raki: ah kids i was just like you the moment i saw my first claymore.

random kid: wow so what did you do....

raki: i followed Clare around as a cook, and now look at me, i got an even bigger sword, a huge left hand, and some cool and actually functional armor off my sensei

random kid... oooh i wanna grow up to be just like you

raki: i'm sorry the position of follower is already taken

radom kid... aw...

disturbed mother of random kid: you come back right this instant mister, no running off to become a claymore for you... this is worse than when the circus came into town...

(now everyone knows why the claymores are discriminated against, i dread to think of what happened in the towns on Helens patrol area)

[nekowai]

To think miss Raki would defeat a yoma, yoma are getting weaker this days

I think that little girl with Raki could be the daughter of Priscilla with... Yagi-sama knows with who. Could be either Raki or Easley... more likely Easley, because Raki would never betray Clare!

But more than that, i don't think Yagi would bring Raki again unless he will become very important to the storyline (not only as Clare's "wife", i mean) . After all, he became strong enough to defeat youmas, but the current enemies are the Organization and the A.O.s - far worse enemies than youmas.

What if that little girl walking alongside Raki - supposing she is really the daughter of a truly powerful A.O. - is the answer the Organization is searching so much... a fully transformable A.O. perfectly able to go back and forth her monster-mode and keep under control?

They could become the main target of the MIBs.
