Claymore - Q & A

[hollywoodlou]

This is a scene 64 Cognates' Raphaela question...

If Raphaela

Spoiler for scene 64 ending:

ABSORBED Luciela's power, killing her eventually, does this mean Raphaela abosrbed an Abyssal's power?

2) If Teresa's blood is in Clare, then does this mean that if/when Clare awakens, what we will see is Teresa's actual Awakened form?

The information on Wiki is correct. The only problem is the misunderstanding of what Weekly Shonen is. Weekly Shonen showcase many different stories every week. It just so happens that for the next few months it will showcase Claymore every month. The Magazine will be out every week but not every story that is showcase come out every week.

I know this has been answer few time and I am sure the FAQ would have it.

2) If Teresa's blood is in Clare, then does this mean that if/when Clare awakens, what we will see is Teresa's actual Awakened form?

I don't think there is any proof that such a thing would happen. I don't think the individual has any real control how form will be.

Was There Ever a Claymore Fan Poll

[zato_1one]

Yeah. I also doubt that. An official character voting in manga just like other series like bleach and D.Gray man. I thought that Claymore might also has one.

From one of the Claymore doujin, it said that "A Present to the 23 Uma-fans of the whole country (Japan)" Thanks Riful for translation! If it's true then I want to know who is in the top five?

What are the differences between the Claymore manga & anime up through episode 19? I just started reading the manga in volume 10 and

Spoiler for manga:

Raki mentions himself being in a dungeon or something.

The only difference I've so far been made aware of, that occurs before episode 19, is

Spoiler for manga:

that Miria says she discovered the organization's greatest secret (or something like that) in episode 11, since I remembered seeing people talk about it in the episode 11 discussion thread so I went back and clicked the spoiler tags

[Seska]

Sorry, but to tell you the difference between Manga and Anime, well how i should put this...

It's Spoiling at it best. And i don't wanna steal others the curiosity...

[myopius]

I'm switching to reading the manga. It's not spoiling the anime for me because there is no more anime for me. Finding out any differences between the manga and anime from someone who has read and seen them lets me avoid confusion without having to spend several hours looking over the 10 previous volumes.

I'm not the first person to be spoiled in this thread. Also, asking about the slight differences between episodes 1-19 and volumes 1-10c55 is far from the largest spoiler I've seen requested in this thread. Of course, I'm expecting the answer to be put in spoiler tags.... Edit: And I hope this question won't be further put off if someone tells me I'm just impatient for the episode 20 sub, I'm switching to the manga for a variety of reasons. =\

[hamstar]

anyone have any ideas what exactly is on the claymore's tummy?

In vol 3 teresa avoided gang rape because they were too grossed out by what she had on her tummy....what was it? It's killing me.

Feel free to speculate.

Nobody knows the answer for certain. Nobody is even certain if the grotesquerie is on Theresa's stomach or between her breasts. Nobody even knows if this disfigurement was particular to Theresa or if it also affects other Claymores.

No speculation is allowed in this thread. Speculation about this subject can be found in The biology of Claymores.

Spoiler for Anime:

Q. In the manga, what specifically happens to Raki between when he leaves Clare and when he meets Priscilla?

Q. What notable actions/statements happen in the manga but are left out of the anime, that take place before the "The War in the North - II" (episode 19)? I switched from the anime to the manga, what should I be aware of?

I understand your desire to hear a specific list of all differences between the anime and the manga, but I really don't think that this thread is the best place for it since any list I attempt is likely to leave something out and someone will correct it and then there will be a whole lot of discussion on the subject. There have been a lot of little things and one or two interesting things which will be utterly ruined if they are explained instead of you actually reading those volumes of manga for yourself. I'd suggest that you don't just skip volumes 1-9 because you watched the anime. I agree with Seska 100% about this.

If you really want an answer to this question please ask in the manga discussion thread or the anime spoiler venting thread. I'd recommend the anime spoiler venting thread since it is much less spoilerific.

That statement might be refering to some mixi fan-community as well. Some characters have their own in there. I haven't seen an official fan poll yet ...

[Seska]

Is there any Info about the DVDs getting to US or even Europe?

I saw already 2 DVD releases out in the World Wide Web... Has someone more Infos? Onegai
Is there any change to grab some Japan/Nippon only DVDs in Düsseldorf "little Tokyo"?

What exactly are on those Eclipse DVd''s 1 & 2? I heard the quality is excellent...

Spoiler for Extra scene 1:

In this extra scene we see Theresa kill an awakened being that could be considered an abyssal one (since it was the former no1 that awakened) with only 10% of her powers.

can we consider that Theresa is stronger/same level than an abyssal one or is this chapter not "official enough"

Is this a scene from the anime or from the manga? And when was it shown?

It was a scene from EXTRA SCENE # 1...manga, of course that was released in July 2007.

Spoiler for Extra scene 1:

Spoiler for reply:

We are just beginning to scratch the surface on how powerful Teresa really was. Judging by how easily she dispatched #s 2-5 (including Priscilla), I can as you say "consider' that Teresa MIGHT not be as strong as an Abyssal but Awakened Beings? In Extra Scene # 1, Teresa "more than confidently" wiped the floor off Rosemary, who's an Awakened Being...and a #2.
Also this should be the ONLY instance that she purposely raised her yoma powers to destroy Rosemary because her reason was that she usually "forgets" how to do it in the 1st place.
Teresa really was a "monster".

All i can speculate is, probably the Organization - in the hybridization process - cut open the tummy of the girls, insert youma flesh and blood inside, and then close the wound. So every Claymore has a big scar in the chest, maybe from the belly to the breasts.

Considerating youma and human flesh are not exactly compatible, probably the local where the youma flesh was inserted is the area affected by mutation the most... like that part is already "awaked". So i believe around the wound the skin looks like a pulsating wound opened, with an unnatural color.

And don't forget...

Spoiler:

Rosemary was the former #01. So she must be really powerful. Yet, Teresa not only was ranked above her, but she defeated her - a single-digit A.O. being really mad - all alone. She is really something special!

Spoiler for reply to PG about Teresa:

PLUS...she held her own against Rosemary Awakened B in her Claymore form 95% of the time during that battle. Amazing.
