@@VannotheDawn1 idk the fight scenes were too long and I thought the plot was not evolving. I wanted to see more about the organization and so on but guess that would be coming sooner or later need to read it further
I love the Claymore content! As for my take on the list, you could argue Awakened Clare is the strongest being. That form was Teresa personified but it was more like a fusion of her and Clare's power. Teresa mentioned she wouldn't have defeated Priscilla so easily if she was still alive. Thanks for the Claymore content
Just a note.... Theresa does say it herself when Clare awakens into her that her power is much stronger than when she was alive because of how strong Clare imagined her to be. While she may have won anyways, her dominating victory as Clare's awakened form was based on Clare, not just Theresa being that strong.
Not sure, but in my eyes the Riful like being were sadly the unborn child of Riful and Dauf. We can see Rifuls lower half walking seemingly on its own before the beings entrance. Sharing their traits, having no real conciouness apart for its aim to perhaps avenge its parents. It's sad to see what possible could've been.
I feel like Miria deserves a honourable mention as well, I mean she was able to hold her ground against hysteria (I forgot if she was the one who finished her). While being the strongest warrior in a team
Fair point. Also they never went into the dragon 🐉🐲🐲🐉 abyssal being which 👔🪢🪢👔 into the yoma and Awakened yoma origins which is a tie in slash off spring of the destroyer or related family(not mentioning the rifle like being) .
Claire avoids Dauff because she can't cut through him. Ricardo might have been arrogant and that gave Claire an opening, but considering this happened relatively early and Claire only got stronger after that, it's quite possible she was much stronger than Ricardo by the end of it, surprise attacks or not.
Rigardo fight (War in the North / Pieta Battle): when Clare fought Rigardo (the War in the North / Pieta Battle), she was a rank 2 Claymore (Miria had no idea that she did have a Claymore in the single digits: 1-5, with them, and that was Clare, grins) and Partially Awakened Clare would have at least the power of a rank 1 Claymore (though probably more was at the power of a rank S Claymore), which is how she was able to obliterate Rigardo and earn his admiration ("superb", hehe) as he was made into lion chops, lol. Rigardo was in real time, seeing Clare's power and capabilities rapidly rising, from her Partial Awakening, with her legs, rapidly gaining the power and ability to control that insane speed, being able to stop and change directions in an instant, compared to how initially, she could just go forward and not stop without the use of colliding with an object (destroying the entire town of Pieta, lol), and then with her usage of her huge claw hand (manga only), and then with her demon scorpion huge flesh blades coming out of her back and her own left side (manga only for the Rigardo fight, in the anime Clare uses it on Awakened Priscilla final battle). Rigardo recognized the power/greatness in Clare, at not only being similar to rank 1 Claymores and Abyssals, as Rigardo knew from fighting/dueling with Isley, but in how quickly she was growing in power and capability, "such potential, on full display, right before his eyes" (unfortunately, in the manga only, Jean, in her dying last moments, after Clare kills rigardo, would place a mental-yoki block/seal upon Clare, preventing Clare from ever using her Partial Awakening ever again, sadly, st'p'dly, lol, who knows how powerful Clare would be in the late/end of manga, if she could Partial Awaken, or... beyond... going beyond Partial Awakening, to... full Awakening, while maintaining her humanity, being able to Awaken and revert at will, just like with Teresa, my theory anyways, lol. As known, the manga ends, and we don't learn whether Clare could ever break this mental-yoki block/seal by Jean or not, sighs) -------- Dauf (and ~Riful) fight (Witches Maw): "base/normal" Clare directly demonstrates that she's already superior to rank 3 Galatea the God Eye, making her a rank 2 Claymore (and thus why in the Pieta Battle, Miria is not the highest rank at 6, but rather Clare, at, at least for "base/normal" Clare, rank 2 Claymore, in terms of her power) but then we got... Berserk/Enraged/Near-Awakening/High-Yoki-Release Clare, whom directly shows that she's at least the power level of a rank 1 Claymore, not only being able to stop Dauf's huge rod, but even being able to push it back with such force that it knocks Dauf over... unfortunately, we do only see Clare cutting Dauf's non-hard parts of his body, so we don't know if she could cut Dauf's hard body parts or not, though having such raw strength, she probably/possibly could do so, especially if/had she used the Quick Sword (really wish we could have seen Irene vs Dauf, if Irene could slice up Dauf into pieces with the Quick Sword, like Clare did with Rigardo, lol, or not), and thus not needing rank 9 Jean and her "Drill Sword", though, I don't think Clare could cut Riful's even harder body, as that's a whole 'nother level, lol, but hey, maybe, maybe Clare had/has this level of raw strength, in this very briefly shown Berserk/Enraged/Near-Awakening-High-Yoki-Release state/mode, laughs -------- Claymore Ophelia fight (pre-Awakened-Ophelia / pre-Irene's-Arm-and-pre-Quick-Sword-Clare): despite being "only" rank 4, Ophelia was extremely talented (I really wonder if Galatea is superior to Ophelia... would have loved to see them fight, to know, who's the real rank 3 and rank 4, laughs), yet Clare was matching Ophelia extremely well, but what is really telling that most people miss... rank 4 Ophelia was using High Yoki release (as she was "excited" from having just fought and killed the single digit/rank female Awakened, theory: rank 5/6 Elda from Teresa's Era), while Clare was using NO yoki release, yet Clare had the strength and speed to parry Ophelia's attacks... NO yoki release rank 47 Clare was matching High Yoki Release rank 4 Ophelia... wow... ya, Clare's already becoming very powerful, Clare's really rapidly growing in power (such growth from when she was fighting the "spiderman / praying-mantis" male Awakened), lol... (yes, Clare was using Teresa's Internal Yoki Sensing ability, but Clare still requires the strength and speed, too, which is separate from the Internal Yoki Sensing ability) (also, if no yoki release Clare was matching high yoki release Ophelia, had Clare kept her high yoki release, instead of going to no yoki release for using the Internal Yoki Sensing ability, Clare likely would have been able to completely destroy Ophelia, as Clare directly had more power than Ophelia (0 yr Clare = high yr ophelia, and thus: high yoki release Clare > high yr ophelia), but Clare knew nothing about Ophelia at all, making the "logical right" choice of playing it safe, going back to no yoki release to use her Internal Yoki Sensing ability, but Ophelia was the one opponent that this was actually the worst choice to make, due to Ophelia's "rippling sword"... (how it actually works: ophelia does a normal sword swing, and it gets parried, but then she immediately moves her sword and attacks again, the Internal Yoki Sensing ability senses the initial sword swing and is able to parry it, but the redirect 2nd swing, relies upon power level: reaction time, as it is too quick/brief for the Internal Yoki Sensing to detect and then to react to it, which is why/how 0 YR Clare got sliced up by it, and also being baffled at how she got cut, as she sensed the first swing "feint", but not the quick redirect after-swing counter swing, and even if she did, she didn't have the power: reaction time and/or speed/agility, to be able to parry it or dodge/evade out of the way of it) and thus, Clare was a rank 3 Claymore, in terms of power level, when she was fighting against Claymore Ophelia, as she was superior to rank 4 Ophelia (and then we get the whole Irene's Arm and learning the Quick Sword, which is what enabled Clare to take on Awakened Ophelia and enable the rest of Clare's continued growth in power and ability) ----------------- (Irene was the "first", well, actually it was already happening due to Teresa sharing Clare's body and mind, most likely starting with Clare becoming a Half-Awakened, enabling Clare to tap into Teresa's powers and start using/training in the Internal Yoki Sensing Ability, but anyways, back to Irene, to start Clare's training into Yoki Synchronization, with using the "Quick Sword", first with trying to "control" Clare's own left ~Awakened-Arm, and then with trying to "control" Irene's right Awakened Arm, however, Clare could barely do so, and Irene' deemed it impossible for Clare as her hatred was getting in the way of her mental focus, however, Awakened Ophelia completed the task, using that very hatred of Clare's, for hyper focusing, proving Irene wrong, lol, and Clare now had complete control over Irene's right Awakened Arm, and then Galatea, which she learned from spying on Clare and the other Half-Awakeneds with the male Awakened battle, and Jean, would enable Clare to have super control over the Quick Sword / Awakened Arm, which continues on with Clare being able to Partially Awaken, and also continues on with Galatea too, with Rubel's "help", in letting Galate see the Soul Link usage of Yoki Synchronization, which Galatea would then further pass on, to Clarice and Miata, and also, if I remember, to Clare as well, which ultimately enables Teresa to take over Clare's body, using/controlling the Destroyer to protect Clare's friends and attack Awakened Prisiclla, and then to fully take over Clare's body, emerging, to finish off Awakened Priscilla once and for all)
tldr, brief summary of a segment of Clare's power progress: ----------- "spiderman / praying-mantis" male Awakened fight: rank 5.5 Claymore // (superior, in some ways, to rank 6 HA Miria, but still very immature/inexperienced) Claymore rank 4 Ophelia fight: rank 3 Claymore Awakened rank 4 Ophelia fight: rank 2 Claymore (due to having Irene's Arm and usage of the Quick Sword) Awakened rank 3 Dauf (and ~Riful) fight (Witches Maw): rank 2 Claymore at normal YR (being superior to rank 3 Galatea, though Clare still lacks the raw strength that is needed to cut/kill Dauf), but at high YR: a rank 1 Claymore (and possibly having the strength to even cut/kill Dauf, though am not sure about Riful, as she's got an even harder body than Dauf) Awakened rank 2 Rigardo fight: rank 2 Claymore (inferior to Rigardo, as he's an Awakened rank 2 in power whereas she's just a Claymore rank 2 in power), and as Partially Awakened: rank 1 Claymore (or possibly: rank S Claymore) --------- Ghost Clare (after 7 year time jump / "after" the pieta battle): rank 1 Claymore Ghost Clare (with Rafaela): rank S Claymore
Is this list supposed to be from weakest to strongest? Because i have serious doubts that Dauf is stronger than Rigardo or that either of them are stronger than Hysteria, I could be wrong though. Love watching your claymore content.
Maybe... I would hope so. Funnily, whenever I comment "Claymore" on Twitter when there's a survey about 'which manga deserve a full anime adaptation?' there is always at least one account that likes these comments - and it's named somewhat like 'Claymore needs a full anime adaptation' Seems like there is a bunch of people who are very passionate about the series, and they seem to get more and more. 😁
power level ranking (my analysis): (WIP, not complete, such as with the 5 Ghosts' progression: Deneve, Helen, Cynthia, Tabitha, and Yuma, and also this was initially done for anime only, so there's a lot of manga characters to still do too as well) rank SSS (10%+ YR Teresa of the Faint Smile, Partially Awakened Teresa) rank SS (Awakened Priscilla, at least 10% YR Teresa of the Faint Smile, The Destroyer, maybe/potentially/possibly/likely Awakened Rafaela) rank S (Silver-Eyed/circular-radial-iris/No-Zero-0%-YR Teresa of the Faint Smile, Abyssal Isley the Silver King, Abyssal Riful, Abyssal Luciela, Orcish Priscilla, Potentially Matured Claymore Priscilla, Partially Awakened Clare, Rafaela = as Irene herself said that Rafaela was this powerful, lol) rank 1 (Claymore Isley the Silver King, Claymore Riful, Claymore Luciela, Claymore Irene of the Quick Sword, Alicia the Black, Matured Claymore Priscilla, Berserk/Enraged/Near-Awakening Claymore Clare against Dauf, Awakened Rigardo) rank 2 (Claymore Rigardo the Silver-Eyed Lion-King, Sophia the Muscular, Claymore Clare during Pieta Battle and against Rigardo, Awakened Dauf, Beth) rank 3 (Claymore Dauf, Noel the Stormwind, Galatea the God Eye, Claymore Clare against Dauf, Awakened Ophelia) rank 4 (Claymore Ophelia, Awakened Elda, High Yoki Releasing Claymore Clare) rank 5 (Claymore Clare during the male Awakened hunt, though Clare was still very "Immature", Awakened Hilda, Claymore Elda) rank 5.5 (Half-Awakened Miria the Phantom) rank 6 (Claymore Hilda, Claymore Miria the Phantom) rank 7 (Eva) rank 8 (Flora the Windcutter, Half-Awakened Jean but mostly just in terms of offensively as she's always really bad in terms of defensively, lol, Claymore Miria the Phantom back during the Awakened Hilda 3rd-Awakened-Hunt flashback of hers) rank 9 (Claymore Jean, theory: Half-Awakened Undine of the Twin Swords, Half-Awakened Deneve) rank 11 (Claymore Undine of the Twin Swords, Half-Awakened Helen) rank 13 (Veronica) rank 14 (Cynthia) rank 15 (Claymore Deneve) rank 17 (Claymore Miria the Phantom back when she was briefly with Hilda, which was some/X amount of time before she'd have her 3rd Awakened Hunt unknowingly against Awakened Hilda in her flashback scene, Eliza) rank 18 (Lily) rank 20 (Queenie) rank 22 (Claymore Helen) rank 24 (Zelda) rank 27 (Emelia) rank 30 (Wendy) rank 31 (Tabithia) (Awakened Katea: unknown power rank, though somewhere between rank 13 and rank 32, obviously, maybe dividing her rank of 32 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 16 power level, meh) rank 32 (Claymore Katea) rank 35 (Pamela) rank 36 (Claudia) rank 37 (Natalie) rank 39 (Karla) rank 40 (Yuma) rank 41 (Matilda) (Awakened Elena: unknown power rank, though maybe dividing her possible rank of 41 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 20-21 power level, meh, but then this gets into whether Clare would've been f'ked or not, if Awakened Elena didn't let herself get killed by Clare) rank 42 (possibly Claymore Elena) rank 43 (Juliana) rank 44 (Diana) (Awakened Elena: unknown power rank, though maybe dividing her possible rank of 45 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 22-23 power level, meh, but then this gets into whether Clare would've been f'ked or not, if Awakened Elena didn't let herself get killed by Clare) rank 45 (possibly Claymore Elena) (Awakened Elena: unknown power rank, though maybe dividing her possible rank of 46 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 23 power level, meh, but then this gets into whether Clare would've been f'ked or not, if Awakened Elena didn't let herself get killed by Clare) rank 46 (possibly Claymore Elena, I'd say this is her most likely rank, rather than rank 45, or rank 42, and she's definitely not in the rank 30s, lol) rank 47 (possibly Claymore/Pre-HA Clare, big debate/confusion/arguable of whether she really was weak or not, at least especially with knowing the manga content) -------------------- unknown ranks (and also some names/Claymores too), and thus unknown power levels: X.

I’m glad you placed Isly in the spot that he’s in. He is a very strong individual, with his experience and manipulation for his arsenal. People do forget how strong he is
Would a high demand on a petition see that these babes with blades whole series get an anime? If not the company that did the first season but maybe the company that did JJK season 2?
You somehow never showed the awakened form of Hysteria. She, as an Abyssal-technically, an awakened No. 1-had a bit of a disability: lack of the arms. I found that so interesting. She had to beg Miria to pull the Claymore stuck into her neck out because she didn’t have any arms or tentacles that could. Such a faulty design, I must say.
The author of the manga clearly defines and ranked each of the strongest characters specifically. There's absolutely no reason why this list should be in no particular order.
Teresa possesses the power and skill, but Clare gave her the techniques needed, through her experience, and controling her awakening through her heart, smiliar to Beth and Rafaela. Which enabled Teresa to become Clares ideal version of her, in the form of the twin goddess. Her original could only kill Priscilla permanently if she would master Quicksword, which is possible, but never happened. Since Teresa can only copy movement based techniques a little bit training would be needed to use Quicksword by herself. Kinda funny if we consider she is able to use Quicksword without restriction in her original body, which would make her original with Quicksword more powerful than her EoS version.
Teresa was alive the entire time, despite Teresa's head getting decapitated (we even see this happening with one of the 3 "scout" male Awakeneds, whom had the Yoki Manipulation/Control/Compulsion Ability, before the main Pieta Battle), she was still alive, and then human Clare carries the Teresa's head, and "finds" Rubel, who then uses Teresa's head (brain) as the "yoma flesh" (Claymore flesh = 1/2 human and 1/2 yoma), to turn Clare into the Unique Claymore that she is (3/4 human and 1/4 yoma), which preserves Teresa alive within Clare, both using/possessing the same body (Clare's), which would much later on, get shared by yet another "soul/Claymore", Rafaela, 3 minds (Clare, Teresa, and Rafaela) in one body (Clare) Teresa simply took over Clare's body, to finish off Awakened Priscilla once and for all, doing a Partial Awakening with her legs and wings for speed, and then, merely uses the Quick Sword, as it would enable Teresa to completely obliterate Awakened Priscilla (which was required due to her, or the Destroyer's, uber regeneration ability) The 'Quick Sword' sword technique, really isn't a true sword technique, as it is actually merely the usage of an Awakened Arm for such high increase in speed (so, it's really technically just a Partial Awakening), so anyone can do it, whom can Awaken just their arm and resist it from causing them to Awaken (and while Irene presumably couldn't control the Quick Sword, despite seeing her seemingly controlling the Quick Sword quite well, so confusing/conflicting, argh, Clare was able to control the Quick Sword, via using Yoki Synchronization with it, but this would also be something that Teresa could do easily as well, just don't ask how Clare was able to project it far out of its reach/range, to slice things up, laughs) (also, note that Teresa's normal 'Claymore Arm' was able to move at least as fast as Irene's own Awakened Arm / Irene using the Quick Sword, being able to easily catch it and pin it to the ground, along with being able to easily parry it, and keep up with it easily, that's the huge power difference between Teresa and Irene, lol) The "Angelic" Partial Awakening is Teresa's (partial) Awakenened form The Queen of Blades Sarah Kerrigan Demon Scorpion of Vengeance is Clare's (partial) Awakened form (as seen by her left side, and her backside) The weird 'leaf-diamond' Partial Awakening is Irene's (partial) Awakened form (as seen by Clare's right side, with Irene's right arm) Unfortunately, we never get to see the "ULTIMATE BEING", the Twin Goddesses of Love, Goddess Teresa and Goddess Clare, as after Partially Awakened Teresa kills Awakened Priscilla once and for all, Teresa then kills herself, as she didn't want Clare sharing her body with her (never mind that Clare is still sharing her body with Rafaela, lol), and she wanted Clare to move on with her life, sigh The Destroyer was a failed/incomplete and/or tainted/corrupted Twin Goddesses of Love: The Twin Goddesses of Hate/Hatred (The Destroyer), it is still unknown if anyone aside from Teresa and Clare could become the Twin Goddesses of Love
Man, I remember when I saw Claymore (Anime)... I was unsatisfied with the ending. When I noticed that there was an Manga and I noticed the ANIME only covered an small part of the series I began reading non stop... Man and the end in the manga was weldone. Btw... Man, I remember why I loved this manga... Always full of beautiful women. Teresa was like that meme of Shaggy from Scooby Doo... "Congratulations, you made me use the 10% of mypower."
Priscilla, was probably that strong……because her father was a Yoki. I mean I haven’t read the series myself or watched alot of it, but that could be a factor to why she was so busted.
Her father had been killed, then a yoki disguised as her dad, just like most yoma do. They kill a person and then replace them while feeding on the innocent.
I have a theory that Priscilla is the opposite/inverse of Clare normal Claymores = human + womb-implanting (reverse C-section) of yoma flesh = 1/2 (or 2/4) human and 1/2 (or 2/4) yoma vs Clare = Unique Claymore = human (Clare) + womb-implanting (reverse C-section) of Claymore (Teresa) flesh (brain) = 3/4 human and 1/4 yoma vs Priscilla: Unique Claymore = human (Priscilla) + ingesting yoma flesh = 1/4 human and 3/4 yoma ----------- as little human Priscilla did eat humans with her "dad"-yoma, and then she would kill her "dad"-yoma (due to him feasting on Priscilla's mother and sibling/s) and then eat him too... human Priscilla directly ingested yoma flesh into herself, which changed her into a Unique Claymore (1/4 human and 3/4 Yoma), but an unstable Claymore, due to the ingesting the yoma flesh (causing/leading-to an imperfect mutation process), instead of through the "reverse C-section" process of putting the yoma flesh directly into their wombs, which then mutates them into Claymores, without the issue of doing so through ingestion, and this is a good explanation of why Claymore Priscilla and Awakened Priscilla is so messed up and confused mentally... ---------- as for what makes a created Claymore and then when Awaken into an Awakened, powerful vs not: it's a proven fact, that it is emotions, the more emotional-(l'y/mentally messed/f'k'd up), the more powerful they become as Claymores and again as Awakeneds, when/if they do Awaken, and the Organization intentionally does this, to create their powerful bio-weapons...
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 yeah i need to get my butt on this series. My best friend and room loves this series and i have seen it through his viewings. I must now be on my on like that girl with the head in her hands in the first episode. Smh.
@@TacticalMallNinja Her dad WAS a yoma. It's a spoiler, but the yoma aren't actually shapeshifters that mimic dead humans - that's a lie spread by the Organization. The yoma are actually parasites that take control of the body/brain of a human host. Once a host body is worn out, the parasite can migrate to another host. Presumably, the Org doesn't want people to know that or they might start demanding a "cure" instead of just exterminating the monsters. One of the unique aspects of Priscilla is that she somehow saw through that lie, and she was aware that it was her actual father's corpse that she was eating. That helped contribute to her fucked up mental state.
I'm a bit disappointed in myself in that I don't appreciate this anime as must as I probably should because I found the animation itself to be rather stiff...
nah anime was not ruined it had nowhere to go and continue since the manga was not finished at that time. so the studio had to finish it somehow so they made up their ending. 1st part of the northern campain is fairly ok with the manga. and in manga Rigardo dies a bit faster clare truly chatches him off guard since he was not expecting that much of a sudden growth and was too easygoing like he was just chilling there
As much as I LOVED the lore and plot, Claymore is rather flawed and inconsistent: how can Claymores (who are part Yoma) turn into Awakened Beings, yet Yoma (who were directly made from Asarakam) can't? Despite their regenerative abilities, Claymore cannot close/heal from the insicion until they awaken, yet Alicia, Jean, Miata and Claire who have awaken and turned back still have the stigmata? While I loved the Seven Ghosts Arc, it felt too much short: they all split up with only Miria facing the Organization, while the other six relaxed? Why not starting with taking down the facility where the Org. created the Awakened Beings? What was the point of the Org. perserving the bodies of deceased number ones for reanimation to use against possible rebellions, when they were most likely to turn against to the Org itself and even becoming the next Abyssals? How come the Organization were able to create three new Abyssals (undeliberately) by using a severed arm from Priscilla?
In respect of the Asarakam they are somewhat to similar to the awakened beings, given that they have two forms, the human like form, and the more monstruous and almost draconic form. For Alicia, Jean, Miata and Claire is quite possible they have regenerated their stigmata, but without confirmation is quite difficult to say. About the Seven Ghosts Arc the main cast of protagonist where dispersed around with no posibility of rapid comunication, also I think Miria faced the headquartes of the Organization in an atempt to gain the sympathy of the Claymore warriors gathered to stop her. About the preserving the bodies of deceased number ones my headcanon is that the island the story is a place to experiment, so by keeping the bodies of the strongest they can study and try to replicate the way in which the previous nº1 became the strongest.
It was Miria's plan she didn't want the others to go with her because she was going with intent to slaughter the organization members. Five of the ghosts went on their own journeys while Tabitha stayed with Miria. Once she realized that Alicia and Beth were no longer guarding the organization HQ, she made her move. She stuck down Tabitha to keep her out of the way. On the awaken beings it not so much as the organization as it was Dae. He was the mad scientist of the organization. He kept the bodies of fallen Claymores in his room/lab. He was always experimenting using a Claymore's body to make a Claymore (Claire) , the Abyssal feeders, and reviving dead Claymores with Priscilla's arm. Dae didn't care if they would awaken or turn on the organization, he just used the three strongest bodies he had available.
@@uctfandre Still, mostly is due to bad writing, e.g. the all Destroyer thing and Claire being completely out of the rebellion were super convoluted and unnecessary...
I will address just one point since so many others can pick up the rest, Awakened being is just a Term referring to a person using more of their Yoki power. It is not a metamorphosis into a butterfly of death. They are already butterfly's of death just suppressed. It's just that once you reach a point, you can no longer suppress it. Kinda like the allegory of the fruit of knowledge, there is a point at which you cannot go back. Pure yomas are using all their yoki are weaker than claymores using only half the yoki that the yoma have. This is because pure yoki doesn't make you that strong it's the mix that creates overwhelming power. Kinda like Sulphur is just stinky, But mix in some carbon and got gunpowder that is strong as fuck. Hope this helps clear up that point.
Claymore walked so that anime/manga in the west could run. goated series, popular or not. had the anime come out after the manga finished, it would've took off way better. cause around that time 2015-16, is when anime really started to noticeably trend more outside of Japan. Long live Claymore ⚔🤍. let's get the series the attention it rightfully deserves.
Yes please continue with the claymore content. Claymore is easily one of the best mangas around.
really? When does it get good, I ended reading at chapter 50
@finessetraphard8682 why did you stop there?
@@VannotheDawn1 idk the fight scenes were too long and I thought the plot was not evolving. I wanted to see more about the organization and so on but guess that would be coming sooner or later need to read it further
So much this! It's time Claymore got the spotlight it deserves!
@@ianpardolim8966 agreed
I wish Claymore would get a new anime. I've always wanted to see the final fight with Teresa in anime.
Claymore was my first MAJOR leap into anime. Awesome anime!
I like how Claymore is getting it's in the limelight again.
About time if you ask me.
Hopefully a remake anime that covers the manga would be awesome
@IzumiSafi Oooooohhh I'd love that, give the manga the justice it deserves.
I love Claymore. Started with the anime and finished the manga twice.
Loving all the claymore stuff
Thanks for keep making claymore content! This series needs more love!
Loving the claymore content. I believe this series is a gem often overlooked by most.
I love the Claymore content! As for my take on the list, you could argue Awakened Clare is the strongest being. That form was Teresa personified but it was more like a fusion of her and Clare's power. Teresa mentioned she wouldn't have defeated Priscilla so easily if she was still alive. Thanks for the Claymore content
Just a note.... Theresa does say it herself when Clare awakens into her that her power is much stronger than when she was alive because of how strong Clare imagined her to be. While she may have won anyways, her dominating victory as Clare's awakened form was based on Clare, not just Theresa being that strong.
so great to see well made claymore content!
Nice to see more Claymore! This manga has a special place in my heart!
Not sure, but in my eyes the Riful like being were sadly the unborn child of Riful and Dauf. We can see Rifuls lower half walking seemingly on its own before the beings entrance.

Fantastic video! I love Claymore
Your claymore video the other day, reminded me of this beautiful series. I went and bought the whole box set on amazon

I feel like Miria deserves a honourable mention as well, I mean she was able to hold her ground against hysteria (I forgot if she was the one who finished her). While being the strongest warrior in a team
Claymore getting all this love and attention??? oh my heart. so full. this is my favorite manga.

Claire avoids Dauff because she can't cut through him. Ricardo might have been arrogant and that gave Claire an opening, but considering this happened relatively early and Claire only got stronger after that, it's quite possible she was much stronger than Ricardo by the end of it, surprise attacks or not.
Rigardo fight (War in the North / Pieta Battle):
when Clare fought Rigardo (the War in the North / Pieta Battle), she was a rank 2 Claymore (Miria had no idea that she did have a Claymore in the single digits: 1-5, with them, and that was Clare, grins)
and Partially Awakened Clare would have at least the power of a rank 1 Claymore (though probably more was at the power of a rank S Claymore), which is how she was able to obliterate Rigardo and earn his admiration ("superb", hehe) as he was made into lion chops, lol. Rigardo was in real time, seeing Clare's power and capabilities rapidly rising, from her Partial Awakening, with her legs, rapidly gaining the power and ability to control that insane speed, being able to stop and change directions in an instant, compared to how initially, she could just go forward and not stop without the use of colliding with an object (destroying the entire town of Pieta, lol), and then with her usage of her huge claw hand (manga only), and then with her demon scorpion huge flesh blades coming out of her back and her own left side (manga only for the Rigardo fight, in the anime Clare uses it on Awakened Priscilla final battle). Rigardo recognized the power/greatness in Clare, at not only being similar to rank 1 Claymores and Abyssals, as Rigardo knew from fighting/dueling with Isley, but in how quickly she was growing in power and capability, "such potential, on full display, right before his eyes"
(unfortunately, in the manga only, Jean, in her dying last moments, after Clare kills rigardo, would place a mental-yoki block/seal upon Clare, preventing Clare from ever using her Partial Awakening ever again, sadly, st'p'dly, lol, who knows how powerful Clare would be in the late/end of manga, if she could Partial Awaken, or... beyond... going beyond Partial Awakening, to... full Awakening, while maintaining her humanity, being able to Awaken and revert at will, just like with Teresa, my theory anyways, lol. As known, the manga ends, and we don't learn whether Clare could ever break this mental-yoki block/seal by Jean or not, sighs)
--------
Dauf (and ~Riful) fight (Witches Maw):
"base/normal" Clare directly demonstrates that she's already superior to rank 3 Galatea the God Eye, making her a rank 2 Claymore (and thus why in the Pieta Battle, Miria is not the highest rank at 6, but rather Clare, at, at least for "base/normal" Clare, rank 2 Claymore, in terms of her power)
but then we got...
Berserk/Enraged/Near-Awakening/High-Yoki-Release Clare, whom directly shows that she's at least the power level of a rank 1 Claymore, not only being able to stop Dauf's huge rod, but even being able to push it back with such force that it knocks Dauf over... unfortunately, we do only see Clare cutting Dauf's non-hard parts of his body, so we don't know if she could cut Dauf's hard body parts or not, though having such raw strength, she probably/possibly could do so, especially if/had she used the Quick Sword (really wish we could have seen Irene vs Dauf, if Irene could slice up Dauf into pieces with the Quick Sword, like Clare did with Rigardo, lol, or not), and thus not needing rank 9 Jean and her "Drill Sword", though, I don't think Clare could cut Riful's even harder body, as that's a whole 'nother level, lol, but hey, maybe, maybe Clare had/has this level of raw strength, in this very briefly shown Berserk/Enraged/Near-Awakening-High-Yoki-Release state/mode, laughs
--------
Claymore Ophelia fight (pre-Awakened-Ophelia / pre-Irene's-Arm-and-pre-Quick-Sword-Clare):
despite being "only" rank 4, Ophelia was extremely talented (I really wonder if Galatea is superior to Ophelia... would have loved to see them fight, to know, who's the real rank 3 and rank 4, laughs), yet Clare was matching Ophelia extremely well, but what is really telling that most people miss...
rank 4 Ophelia was using High Yoki release (as she was "excited" from having just fought and killed the single digit/rank female Awakened, theory: rank 5/6 Elda from Teresa's Era), while Clare was using NO yoki release, yet Clare had the strength and speed to parry Ophelia's attacks...
NO yoki release rank 47 Clare was matching High Yoki Release rank 4 Ophelia... wow... ya, Clare's already becoming very powerful, Clare's really rapidly growing in power (such growth from when she was fighting the "spiderman / praying-mantis" male Awakened), lol...
(yes, Clare was using Teresa's Internal Yoki Sensing ability, but Clare still requires the strength and speed, too, which is separate from the Internal Yoki Sensing ability)
(also, if no yoki release Clare was matching high yoki release Ophelia, had Clare kept her high yoki release, instead of going to no yoki release for using the Internal Yoki Sensing ability, Clare likely would have been able to completely destroy Ophelia, as Clare directly had more power than Ophelia (0 yr Clare = high yr ophelia, and thus: high yoki release Clare > high yr ophelia), but Clare knew nothing about Ophelia at all, making the "logical right" choice of playing it safe, going back to no yoki release to use her Internal Yoki Sensing ability, but Ophelia was the one opponent that this was actually the worst choice to make, due to Ophelia's "rippling sword"... (how it actually works: ophelia does a normal sword swing, and it gets parried, but then she immediately moves her sword and attacks again, the Internal Yoki Sensing ability senses the initial sword swing and is able to parry it, but the redirect 2nd swing, relies upon power level: reaction time, as it is too quick/brief for the Internal Yoki Sensing to detect and then to react to it, which is why/how 0 YR Clare got sliced up by it, and also being baffled at how she got cut, as she sensed the first swing "feint", but not the quick redirect after-swing counter swing, and even if she did, she didn't have the power: reaction time and/or speed/agility, to be able to parry it or dodge/evade out of the way of it)
and thus, Clare was a rank 3 Claymore, in terms of power level, when she was fighting against Claymore Ophelia, as she was superior to rank 4 Ophelia
(and then we get the whole Irene's Arm and learning the Quick Sword, which is what enabled Clare to take on Awakened Ophelia and enable the rest of Clare's continued growth in power and ability)
-----------------
(Irene was the "first", well, actually it was already happening due to Teresa sharing Clare's body and mind, most likely starting with Clare becoming a Half-Awakened, enabling Clare to tap into Teresa's powers and start using/training in the Internal Yoki Sensing Ability, but anyways, back to Irene, to start Clare's training into Yoki Synchronization, with using the "Quick Sword", first with trying to "control" Clare's own left ~Awakened-Arm, and then with trying to "control" Irene's right Awakened Arm, however, Clare could barely do so, and Irene' deemed it impossible for Clare as her hatred was getting in the way of her mental focus, however, Awakened Ophelia completed the task, using that very hatred of Clare's, for hyper focusing, proving Irene wrong, lol, and Clare now had complete control over Irene's right Awakened Arm, and then Galatea, which she learned from spying on Clare and the other Half-Awakeneds with the male Awakened battle, and Jean, would enable Clare to have super control over the Quick Sword / Awakened Arm, which continues on with Clare being able to Partially Awaken, and also continues on with Galatea too, with Rubel's "help", in letting Galate see the Soul Link usage of Yoki Synchronization, which Galatea would then further pass on, to Clarice and Miata, and also, if I remember, to Clare as well, which ultimately enables Teresa to take over Clare's body, using/controlling the Destroyer to protect Clare's friends and attack Awakened Prisiclla, and then to fully take over Clare's body, emerging, to finish off Awakened Priscilla once and for all)
tldr, brief summary of a segment of Clare's power progress:
-----------
"spiderman / praying-mantis" male Awakened fight: rank 5.5 Claymore // (superior, in some ways, to rank 6 HA Miria, but still very immature/inexperienced)
Claymore rank 4 Ophelia fight: rank 3 Claymore
Awakened rank 4 Ophelia fight: rank 2 Claymore (due to having Irene's Arm and usage of the Quick Sword)
Awakened rank 3 Dauf (and ~Riful) fight (Witches Maw): rank 2 Claymore at normal YR (being superior to rank 3 Galatea, though Clare still lacks the raw strength that is needed to cut/kill Dauf), but at high YR: a rank 1 Claymore (and possibly having the strength to even cut/kill Dauf, though am not sure about Riful, as she's got an even harder body than Dauf)
Awakened rank 2 Rigardo fight: rank 2 Claymore (inferior to Rigardo, as he's an Awakened rank 2 in power whereas she's just a Claymore rank 2 in power), and as Partially Awakened: rank 1 Claymore (or possibly: rank S Claymore)
---------
Ghost Clare (after 7 year time jump / "after" the pieta battle): rank 1 Claymore
Ghost Clare (with Rafaela): rank S Claymore
Is this list supposed to be from weakest to strongest? Because i have serious doubts that Dauf is stronger than Rigardo or that either of them are stronger than Hysteria, I could be wrong though.
Love watching your claymore content.
Dauf is not stronger than Ricardo. Both are definitely not stronger than hysteria.
Underrated... One of the best .. wish they give us more anime
Is it just me or is this series getting more popular
Maybe... I would hope so.
Funnily, whenever I comment "Claymore" on Twitter when there's a survey about 'which manga deserve a full anime adaptation?' there is always at least one account that likes these comments - and it's named somewhat like 'Claymore needs a full anime adaptation'
Seems like there is a bunch of people who are very passionate about the series, and they seem to get more and more. 😁
I truly believe Alicia and Beth could’ve beaten any abysal outside of Priscilla
power level ranking (my analysis):
(WIP, not complete, such as with the 5 Ghosts' progression: Deneve, Helen, Cynthia, Tabitha, and Yuma, and also this was initially done for anime only, so there's a lot of manga characters to still do too as well)
rank SSS (10%+ YR Teresa of the Faint Smile, Partially Awakened Teresa)
rank SS (Awakened Priscilla, at least 10% YR Teresa of the Faint Smile, The Destroyer, maybe/potentially/possibly/likely Awakened Rafaela)
rank S (Silver-Eyed/circular-radial-iris/No-Zero-0%-YR Teresa of the Faint Smile, Abyssal Isley the Silver King, Abyssal Riful, Abyssal Luciela, Orcish Priscilla, Potentially Matured Claymore Priscilla, Partially Awakened Clare, Rafaela = as Irene herself said that Rafaela was this powerful, lol)
rank 1 (Claymore Isley the Silver King, Claymore Riful, Claymore Luciela, Claymore Irene of the Quick Sword, Alicia the Black, Matured Claymore Priscilla, Berserk/Enraged/Near-Awakening Claymore Clare against Dauf, Awakened Rigardo)
rank 2 (Claymore Rigardo the Silver-Eyed Lion-King, Sophia the Muscular, Claymore Clare during Pieta Battle and against Rigardo, Awakened Dauf, Beth)
rank 3 (Claymore Dauf, Noel the Stormwind, Galatea the God Eye, Claymore Clare against Dauf, Awakened Ophelia)
rank 4 (Claymore Ophelia, Awakened Elda, High Yoki Releasing Claymore Clare)

rank 5.5 (Half-Awakened Miria the Phantom)
rank 6 (Claymore Hilda, Claymore Miria the Phantom)
rank 7 (Eva)
rank 8 (Flora the Windcutter, Half-Awakened Jean but mostly just in terms of offensively as she's always really bad in terms of defensively, lol, Claymore Miria the Phantom back during the Awakened Hilda 3rd-Awakened-Hunt flashback of hers)
rank 9 (Claymore Jean, theory: Half-Awakened Undine of the Twin Swords, Half-Awakened Deneve)
rank 11 (Claymore Undine of the Twin Swords, Half-Awakened Helen)
rank 13 (Veronica)
rank 14 (Cynthia)
rank 15 (Claymore Deneve)
rank 17 (Claymore Miria the Phantom back when she was briefly with Hilda, which was some/X amount of time before she'd have her 3rd Awakened Hunt unknowingly against Awakened Hilda in her flashback scene, Eliza)
rank 18 (Lily)
rank 20 (Queenie)
rank 22 (Claymore Helen)
rank 24 (Zelda)
rank 27 (Emelia)
rank 30 (Wendy)
rank 31 (Tabithia)
(Awakened Katea: unknown power rank, though somewhere between rank 13 and rank 32, obviously, maybe dividing her rank of 32 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 16 power level, meh)
rank 32 (Claymore Katea)
rank 35 (Pamela)
rank 36 (Claudia)
rank 37 (Natalie)
rank 39 (Karla)
rank 40 (Yuma)
rank 41 (Matilda)
(Awakened Elena: unknown power rank, though maybe dividing her possible rank of 41 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 20-21 power level, meh, but then this gets into whether Clare would've been f'ked or not, if Awakened Elena didn't let herself get killed by Clare)
rank 42 (possibly Claymore Elena)
rank 43 (Juliana)
rank 44 (Diana)
(Awakened Elena: unknown power rank, though maybe dividing her possible rank of 45 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 22-23 power level, meh, but then this gets into whether Clare would've been f'ked or not, if Awakened Elena didn't let herself get killed by Clare)
rank 45 (possibly Claymore Elena)
(Awakened Elena: unknown power rank, though maybe dividing her possible rank of 46 by 2, Awakening ~doubles their power level, would be reasonable, at rank 23 power level, meh, but then this gets into whether Clare would've been f'ked or not, if Awakened Elena didn't let herself get killed by Clare)
rank 46 (possibly Claymore Elena, I'd say this is her most likely rank, rather than rank 45, or rank 42, and she's definitely not in the rank 30s, lol)
rank 47 (possibly Claymore/Pre-HA Clare, big debate/confusion/arguable of whether she really was weak or not, at least especially with knowing the manga content)
--------------------
unknown ranks (and also some names/Claymores too), and thus unknown power levels:
X. [UNNAMED] (Claymore) (one of Miria’s two team members, when she first met Clare)
X. [UNNAMED] (Claymore) (the other of Miria’s two team members, when she first met Clare)
X. Raquel (Claymore -> dead: killed, tortured to death by Dauf, was part of Jean's Awakened Being hunt party)
X. Kate (Claymore -> dead: killed by Isley's male Awakened Being army, was part of Eva's Awakened Being hunt party)
X. Lucia (Claymore -> dead: killed by Isley's male Awakened Being army, was part of Eva's Awakened Being hunt party)
X. [UNNAMED] (Undine's BFF) (Claymore -> dead)
X. [UNKNOWN] (possibly, as usually Awakened Being hunt parties have 4 members: Eva, Lucia, Kate, and ???)
X. [UNNAMED] (Claymore -> dead: killed, fatally tortured by Dauf, but she died in town in Clare's arms as she was allowed to leave as Riful's messanger to the Organization, she was part of Jean's Awakened Being hunt party)
X. all of the other unknown executioner Claymores of Teresa (before the ranks 2-5 were lastly used) during Teresa's Era
X. at least one other Awakened Hunt Party (4 unknown Claymores) who took on the "spiderman/praying-mantis" male Awakened, and were all killed by him, before Miria, Deneve, Helen, and Clare would take it on and kill it
Can you do top 50 strongest claymore
I’m glad you placed Isly in the spot that he’s in. He is a very strong individual, with his experience and manipulation for his arsenal. People do forget how strong he is
Please more Claymore 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Would a high demand on a petition see that these babes with blades whole series get an anime? If not the company that did the first season but maybe the company that did JJK season 2?
In the image around 17:35 there's photos of older generation No.1's. Where'd you get these + are they canon?
Do the claymore strongest warrior
I love that Teresa is basically the same as Advent Children Sephiroth. Clare is basically like Kadaj, if you think about it.
agreed
Claymore is super underrated
We need Claymore remake, I imagine AoT studio making those Yoma, I WANT TO SEE TERESA FINAL FORM ANIMATED!
there's a really good fan-made animation of it...
utube search: claymore season 2 3d
(there's 3 vids, parts 1-3)
More !!!! More !!!! Moreeeeee
You somehow never showed the awakened form of Hysteria. She, as an Abyssal-technically, an awakened No. 1-had a bit of a disability: lack of the arms. I found that so interesting. She had to beg Miria to pull the Claymore stuck into her neck out because she didn’t have any arms or tentacles that could. Such a faulty design, I must say.
I preferred the narrator with previous voice over
Studios should definitely consider rebooting the anime, I highly believe it will be a huge success. Especially now that anime reboots are popular!
Do a video about Noel and Sophia please
Peak video
The author of the manga clearly defines and ranked each of the strongest characters specifically. There's absolutely no reason why this list should be in no particular order.
Teresa possesses the power and skill, but Clare gave her the techniques needed, through her experience, and controling her awakening through her heart, smiliar to Beth and Rafaela. Which enabled Teresa to become Clares ideal version of her, in the form of the twin goddess.
Her original could only kill Priscilla permanently if she would master Quicksword, which is possible, but never happened.
Since Teresa can only copy movement based techniques a little bit training would be needed to use Quicksword by herself. Kinda funny if we consider she is able to use Quicksword without restriction in her original body, which would make her original with Quicksword more powerful than her EoS version.
Teresa was alive the entire time, despite Teresa's head getting decapitated (we even see this happening with one of the 3 "scout" male Awakeneds, whom had the Yoki Manipulation/Control/Compulsion Ability, before the main Pieta Battle), she was still alive, and then human Clare carries the Teresa's head, and "finds" Rubel, who then uses Teresa's head (brain) as the "yoma flesh" (Claymore flesh = 1/2 human and 1/2 yoma), to turn Clare into the Unique Claymore that she is (3/4 human and 1/4 yoma), which preserves Teresa alive within Clare, both using/possessing the same body (Clare's), which would much later on, get shared by yet another "soul/Claymore", Rafaela, 3 minds (Clare, Teresa, and Rafaela) in one body (Clare)
Teresa simply took over Clare's body, to finish off Awakened Priscilla once and for all, doing a Partial Awakening with her legs and wings for speed, and then, merely uses the Quick Sword, as it would enable Teresa to completely obliterate Awakened Priscilla (which was required due to her, or the Destroyer's, uber regeneration ability)
The 'Quick Sword' sword technique, really isn't a true sword technique, as it is actually merely the usage of an Awakened Arm for such high increase in speed (so, it's really technically just a Partial Awakening), so anyone can do it, whom can Awaken just their arm and resist it from causing them to Awaken (and while Irene presumably couldn't control the Quick Sword, despite seeing her seemingly controlling the Quick Sword quite well, so confusing/conflicting, argh, Clare was able to control the Quick Sword, via using Yoki Synchronization with it, but this would also be something that Teresa could do easily as well, just don't ask how Clare was able to project it far out of its reach/range, to slice things up, laughs)
(also, note that Teresa's normal 'Claymore Arm' was able to move at least as fast as Irene's own Awakened Arm / Irene using the Quick Sword, being able to easily catch it and pin it to the ground, along with being able to easily parry it, and keep up with it easily, that's the huge power difference between Teresa and Irene, lol)
The "Angelic" Partial Awakening is Teresa's (partial) Awakenened form
The Queen of Blades Sarah Kerrigan Demon Scorpion of Vengeance is Clare's (partial) Awakened form (as seen by her left side, and her backside)
The weird 'leaf-diamond' Partial Awakening is Irene's (partial) Awakened form (as seen by Clare's right side, with Irene's right arm)
Unfortunately, we never get to see the "ULTIMATE BEING", the Twin Goddesses of Love, Goddess Teresa and Goddess Clare, as after Partially Awakened Teresa kills Awakened Priscilla once and for all, Teresa then kills herself, as she didn't want Clare sharing her body with her (never mind that Clare is still sharing her body with Rafaela, lol), and she wanted Clare to move on with her life, sigh
The Destroyer was a failed/incomplete and/or tainted/corrupted Twin Goddesses of Love: The Twin Goddesses of Hate/Hatred (The Destroyer), it is still unknown if anyone aside from Teresa and Clare could become the Twin Goddesses of Love
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 Their is a lot headcanon.
HAH! You know you're broken when the villain needs plot armor to survive against you xD
Good list, but Dauf and Ricardo should not be on this list. Irene, E.O.S Miria, Europa and Aghata are more strong.
agreed
Man, I remember when I saw Claymore (Anime)... I was unsatisfied with the ending. When I noticed that there was an Manga and I noticed the ANIME only covered an small part of the series I began reading non stop... Man and the end in the manga was weldone.
Btw... Man, I remember why I loved this manga... Always full of beautiful women.
Teresa was like that meme of Shaggy from Scooby Doo... "Congratulations, you made me use the 10% of mypower."
When discussing Hysteria you were showing images of Roxanne's awakened form rather than Hysteria's
it wouldbe so radd if this naime got another...true adaptation.
How can we bring back Claymore?
Okay fine. I'll reread claymore
Really wish they would continue the anime adaptation
I wish someone would do a full retrospective of the story...
Managa ran faaar longer than the anime
You showed Roxanne when discussing Hysteria. :(
Priscilla, was probably that strong……because her father was a Yoki. I mean I haven’t read the series myself or watched alot of it, but that could be a factor to why she was so busted.
Her father had been killed, then a yoki disguised as her dad, just like most yoma do. They kill a person and then replace them while feeding on the innocent.
I have a theory that Priscilla is the opposite/inverse of Clare
normal Claymores = human + womb-implanting (reverse C-section) of yoma flesh = 1/2 (or 2/4) human and 1/2 (or 2/4) yoma
vs
Clare = Unique Claymore = human (Clare) + womb-implanting (reverse C-section) of Claymore (Teresa) flesh (brain) = 3/4 human and 1/4 yoma
vs
Priscilla: Unique Claymore = human (Priscilla) + ingesting yoma flesh = 1/4 human and 3/4 yoma
-----------
as little human Priscilla did eat humans with her "dad"-yoma, and then she would kill her "dad"-yoma (due to him feasting on Priscilla's mother and sibling/s) and then eat him too...
human Priscilla directly ingested yoma flesh into herself, which changed her into a Unique Claymore (1/4 human and 3/4 Yoma), but an unstable Claymore, due to the ingesting the yoma flesh (causing/leading-to an imperfect mutation process), instead of through the "reverse C-section" process of putting the yoma flesh directly into their wombs, which then mutates them into Claymores, without the issue of doing so through ingestion, and this is a good explanation of why Claymore Priscilla and Awakened Priscilla is so messed up and confused mentally...
----------
as for what makes a created Claymore and then when Awaken into an Awakened, powerful vs not:
it's a proven fact, that it is emotions, the more emotional-(l'y/mentally messed/f'k'd up), the more powerful they become as Claymores and again as Awakeneds, when/if they do Awaken, and the Organization intentionally does this, to create their powerful bio-weapons...
@@TacticalMallNinja ohhhhh wow, ok that is way more F*ck up lol. I need to watch and read this series now!
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 yeah i need to get my butt on this series. My best friend and room loves this series and i have seen it through his viewings. I must now be on my on like that girl with the head in her hands in the first episode. Smh.
@@TacticalMallNinja Her dad WAS a yoma.
It's a spoiler, but the yoma aren't actually shapeshifters that mimic dead humans - that's a lie spread by the Organization.
The yoma are actually parasites that take control of the body/brain of a human host. Once a host body is worn out, the parasite can migrate to another host. Presumably, the Org doesn't want people to know that or they might start demanding a "cure" instead of just exterminating the monsters.
One of the unique aspects of Priscilla is that she somehow saw through that lie, and she was aware that it was her actual father's corpse that she was eating. That helped contribute to her fucked up mental state.
What happened to the other voice???
Your right there someone / something that the destroyer comes from they never showed it .
I'm a bit disappointed in myself in that I don't appreciate this anime as must as I probably should because I found the animation itself to be rather stiff...
Dauf, former No.3 cannot come close to any rank 1 who awakened
Clair deserves number 2 she has combed power of her an Teresa an all the skills an powers of the others I'd say even number 1
Id say Claire is thr strongest
Underrated mnga also i mean shame they ruined ghe anime
nah anime was not ruined it had nowhere to go and continue since the manga was not finished at that time. so the studio had to finish it somehow so they made up their ending. 1st part of the northern campain is fairly ok with the manga. and in manga Rigardo dies a bit faster clare truly chatches him off guard since he was not expecting that much of a sudden growth and was too easygoing like he was just chilling there
⚔️
Is this an ai voice over?
As much as I LOVED the lore and plot, Claymore is rather flawed and inconsistent: how can Claymores (who are part Yoma) turn into Awakened Beings, yet Yoma (who were directly made from Asarakam) can't? Despite their regenerative abilities, Claymore cannot close/heal from the insicion until they awaken, yet Alicia, Jean, Miata and Claire who have awaken and turned back still have the stigmata?
While I loved the Seven Ghosts Arc, it felt too much short: they all split up with only Miria facing the Organization, while the other six relaxed? Why not starting with taking down the facility where the Org. created the Awakened Beings? What was the point of the Org. perserving the bodies of deceased number ones for reanimation to use against possible rebellions, when they were most likely to turn against to the Org itself and even becoming the next Abyssals? How come the Organization were able to create three new Abyssals (undeliberately) by using a severed arm from Priscilla?
In respect of the Asarakam they are somewhat to similar to the awakened beings, given that they have two forms, the human like form, and the more monstruous and almost draconic form.
For Alicia, Jean, Miata and Claire is quite possible they have regenerated their stigmata, but without confirmation is quite difficult to say.
About the Seven Ghosts Arc the main cast of protagonist where dispersed around with no posibility of rapid comunication, also I think Miria faced the headquartes of the Organization in an atempt to gain the sympathy of the Claymore warriors gathered to stop her.
About the preserving the bodies of deceased number ones my headcanon is that the island the story is a place to experiment, so by keeping the bodies of the strongest they can study and try to replicate the way in which the previous nº1 became the strongest.
It was Miria's plan she didn't want the others to go with her because she was going with intent to slaughter the organization members. Five of the ghosts went on their own journeys while Tabitha stayed with Miria. Once she realized that Alicia and Beth were no longer guarding the organization HQ, she made her move. She stuck down Tabitha to keep her out of the way. On the awaken beings it not so much as the organization as it was Dae. He was the mad scientist of the organization. He kept the bodies of fallen Claymores in his room/lab. He was always experimenting using a Claymore's body to make a Claymore (Claire) , the Abyssal feeders, and reviving dead Claymores with Priscilla's arm. Dae didn't care if they would awaken or turn on the organization, he just used the three strongest bodies he had available.
@@uctfandre Still, mostly is due to bad writing, e.g. the all Destroyer thing and Claire being completely out of the rebellion were super convoluted and unnecessary...
@@Chaos_Pawn 2:00 you can see Miata still bears the stigmata...
I will address just one point since so many others can pick up the rest, Awakened being is just a Term referring to a person using more of their Yoki power. It is not a metamorphosis into a butterfly of death. They are already butterfly's of death just suppressed. It's just that once you reach a point, you can no longer suppress it. Kinda like the allegory of the fruit of knowledge, there is a point at which you cannot go back. Pure yomas are using all their yoki are weaker than claymores using only half the yoki that the yoma have. This is because pure yoki doesn't make you that strong it's the mix that creates overwhelming power. Kinda like Sulphur is just stinky, But mix in some carbon and got gunpowder that is strong as fuck. Hope this helps clear up that point.
Rigardo being above hysteria and miata wakened forms is very cap, ain't gonna like. I like you're claymore video but the scaling isn't very good.
and now the woke west is trying to make it so anime like this would never be allowed
Claymore walked so that anime/manga in the west could run. goated series, popular or not. had the anime come out after the manga finished, it would've took off way better. cause around that time 2015-16, is when anime really started to noticeably trend more outside of Japan. Long live Claymore ⚔🤍. let's get the series the attention it rightfully deserves.
