It's hard to gauge just how much physical strength Raki has, but judging from that one battle alone, he's far up there. I think you're weighing too much into what's "inhuman". This battle alone shows that a human has the strength to sever body parts, even if Raki isn't a peak human being. Quote:
Cutting someone has half has happened plenty of times in Claymore; not by humans, but by Claymores. It's the only way to kill Yoma. It's perfectly sensible why he went for such attacks. In Actual Combat? actual combat has nothing to do with this; it doesn't take severing off a persons head to kill a human being. A Yoma? different story. |

A sword cuts unarmored body very well. Main reason why medieval warriors werent cut in half all the time is that even simple padded clothing offers significant resistance against cutting.

@Shiek, too much to explain, choose one manual from that page and read it yourself.
Do not compare cutting a limb, or neck, with cutting a torso. Truthfully cutting a limb is not easy either, it's looks easy only on movies. More flesh to cut means bigger chance for blade to get stuck. Straight blades tends to get stuck not only on bones, but even on clothes.

I doubt Raki would be given a sword that had a chance of getting stuck . The only time I ever remember a sword being stuck during an attack was with Deneve trying to cut the AB's head, and she managed to do it with Undine's help and that was a head far harder then a human. The idea of him getting his sword stuck seems silly. Realistically it may be possible, but I don't see such a thing ever happening in the manga. If he has the strength to cut limbs to what appears effortlessly, I think we can assume it's never gonna happen. |

That's different; she got her sword stuck into things that weren't the enemy , like the wall......or the tree....
But he says that you could get your sword actually stuck into your opponent trying to slice them. Considering Raki's strength, and the idea that he would actually be given a sword that would allow that, I see that as impossible. |

You may read previous Yagi work - Angel Densetsu - where Yagi intrest in martial arts are easy to spot. It's also a good comedy, and shows how much Yagi drawing skill improved since his first works. One of main heroines looks exactly like Clare, even her character is simmilar .

I must have only read the VIZ versions... this is not something I knew about. I need to find an accurate raw translation of this... Now where to search???? This revelation just adds more depth to Clare's story for me. It really explains why Clare risked everything and attacked Rig who was about to rape Teresa. Thanks! |

We know Raki has enough strength to slice limbs and body parts, and we know he has a sword that's heavy enough to do the job as well as one that won't get stuck. Everything you're saying is contradictea by what we saw. He's strong enough to slice no matter what the angle or what is realistically possible or easier, and putting aside "actual combat", he went for the head because that's the weakpoint despite such a thing being excessive and unnecessary against real human opponents. And again, I doubt he would be given a sword that had a chance of getting stuck into anything; the likelihood of that happening goes down even further if we are too assume it's a first-generation sword.

Raki could easily chop through the Yoma's torso especially since he was wearing a only a t-shirt. |

I don't see what's so difficult about cutting a torso , especially when such the slices we saw don't seem so hard. Oh well, this discussion is going nowhere |

MisterJB......did you do something 0_0
Because the word bubble "What do you think you're doing by yourself" is on this black thing directly below Dauf..... Point blank, it looks like Dauf took a gigantic crap and now it's saying "What do you think you're doing by yourself". Edit: Oh never mind, that's his foot Don't mind me people |
