Being a guy, this is like the swimsuit edition of mangas. It's definitely a guy thing and that's how Yagi-san sells his product. I cant seriously imagine Claymores being dudes. I understand your semi-chauvinistic question, though. What's not to like about hot blondes wearing skin tight unis killing demons and saving humans? PS good start...I was PRAYING for questions like: Why is Raki still freakin alive? But this will do for now. |

But on the other hand, the fact that this series have all the important roles filled by women should also make it appeal to women as well...These Claymore gals might be pretty, but they are certainly not damsels in distress. Pretty but weak/stupid/useless females is such a boring stereotype... |

I think what the questionnaire was really trying to say is that there's too MANY female characters in the series, and less males to look up to/follow. I agree with you that the woman's image in the series is FAR from the stereotypical women should be subservient to men attitude that prevails even in Japan. If Raki (maybe Isley) is the only male character that's got a chance of evolving into a stronger charcater, then it's like we guys are being emasculated. :) |

I think the mangaka chose women to be claymores because theres a point made early on that Claymores were barely human on an emotional level. They were all stone-cold killers who are practically devoid of emotion. This was partly because of their training, their background and the alienation from humans. Being emotionless is already a masculine trait so this sort of psychological trauma has a greater effect if viewed on female characters. On the subject of Male Claymores: Male Claymores in a very feministic way couldn't stay claymores for very long because they couldn't hold their.. well uh.. Anyways, adding the long history of the organization it leaves all Male Claymores rare, powerful and stronger than any one Claymore albeit they're all evil badasses. |

uh who said that if it was males they too have to wear swimsuits? I dont wanna even imagine that O_O Anyways I was wondering what you guys were thinking. Well my friend said he didn't like claymore because females are greater than males and he being a male and all. I said i didnt care as long they are hot chicks. thank you all for sharing your thoughts. Baman said: Ranivus said: Now leave me alone in reading my Claymore Doujinshi ^_^ What!!

Thank God we have Clare or Miria to fantasize about. You are correct. Your friend must have some male dominance issues, and as long as they're smokin' hot, they can run around in short skirts and slay mosquitoes for all I care. |

I could go to the nearest bar here in Hollywood and get candidates for the male claymore job. A bunch of regular hounddogs, as they say. If you read the manga, the Awakened's act like idiots...well, a majority of them. The exceptions are Rigald (a cocky one) and Isley (well, he's an Abyssal). They make us dudes look bad. |

Those awakened B's dont represent guys. I know I sometimes think with my you-know-what, but I think the only male's WHO ARE NOT RAKI that should get notice are the ORG. They;'re conniving, sneaky and devious. |

Kirakage said: Ophelia is one single-digit number who looks crazy and stupid. And its not as if Priscilla is intelligent neither. Ophelia isn't stupid...she's just crazy. Priscilla was a kid when she Awakened (former #2), ergo: impulsive PLUS the real danger I can compare to the Clarice-Miata relationship. Clarice knows she has a monster on her hands if left unchecked, and Isley views Priscilla in the same way. |

Legion17 said: Miria has light brown-hair (kinda orangey). (^^)b. Its probably related to the process of becoming a claymore. Makes your hair become all pale. Clare had brown hair prior and Priscilla has dark brown hair after so we know its not naturally like that. so accordin to that i guess if Raki becomes a claymore i guess we his hair is gnna change color too maybe srry Raki haters the only example i can use plus nothin wrong wit him |

XD lol this thread is called Claymore Q & A, but there were only 2 questions asked in 2 pages XD. anyway, to answer the first question: there are more women than men because that will get more viewers to watch it :D ( other examples include, love hina, negima, etc etc) second question: they are blond because its a sign of superiority,which was shown in the manga ( if u regard this as a spoiler, im sorry. but its not really a spoiler is it? >.>). |

Legion17 said: Arekkusu said: first question: there are more women than men because that will get more viewers to watch it :D ( other examples include, love hina, negima, etc etc) Naruto and Bleach have primarily Male casts, Berserk has only 2 girls/1 demon woman in it. This isn't a harem comedy. true, it isn't a harem comedy but i was only explaining my view on why the cast is mostly female. I think the creators wanted a dominant female cast because it will draw more attention along with the action and gore. Naruto and Bleach are part comedy and is aimed towards the younger audience where as claymore is aimed towards the more mature ones. you'll never see naruto or bleach have as much blood as claymore. anyway, to stop my self from being long winded, and turning this into long debate, more females generally means more views from newer anime fans, more action and gore means more views from veteran anime fans/ action fanatics. |

Here are some Q's: 1) who was actually #3: Noel or Sophia? 2) Did Raphaela absorb Luciela's power while killing her? 3) Literally or figuratively: Clare keeps mentioning all "these souls inside me" or Miria "those souls inside you...": are they actually talking about the souls of Claymores being "absorbed" by the NEAREST Claymore to them upon death? 4) Is Raphaela the oldest Claymore? If she met chibi Teresa, she must be the most senior of them all. 5) Did Riful INTERFERE in the battle with Isley & Luciela? In scene 72 Riful said yes, but some forums said no...which is it? |

Figuratively as they feel that they are in debt to those who dead, because thanks to the dead, they have survived. And as someone in that Miria's "half of pill" explanation said "the ones who will live will carry the wishes and will of everyone". . there is no Litteral meaning in that.4. It seems so. , as we were not introduced yet to anyone ... . Of course if you count the dead then We don't know on who was older than her. It can be Irene. We know for sure that Rafaela is Older than Rosemary... 5. Yes and No, as Yes she was there. and No because she arrived to late . Although it is possible that Priscila interfered in Isley's favor, as she was near Isley, when Riful arrived to battlefield . |

The answer I got that I kinda accepted was ...No one knows. It wasn't specifically stated who was actually # 3BEFORE Irene said she was # 3. But overall good answers. |

Again, hot chicks in tight unis draw more audiences for both male and female. males because they;re hotties. Females because it speaks to their "feminist agenda" that women are powerful. |

Again Agreed I think she absorbed the power and awakened...she was Luciela's "control" after all 3. Disagree he asked about only Clare's "souls" Clare is now comprised of 3 different people (4 including Teresa's Yoma) Teresa, Irene, and Clare herself. Claymores don't "Absorb" anything, the only thing they can do is train their minds and bodies to raise their limits(mostly spirit though...to supress/control their Yoma Abilities). It is Literal and Figurative, Clare has pieces of people in her, lives for Teresa's revenge and to meet or protect Raki(I may be the only person who actually likes Raki...he is the only one who truely seems to have...a soul). Figuratively, as holding to the spirit of her friends, Teresa and Irene, like Jeane said in the anime at least. she wanted Clare to live on, for those inside her and for those who intrusted their will to her...like Jeane and Ophelia. 4. Agreed Raphelia is/was the oldest claymore....then again....you have like no idea about most of numbers 10-46....guess you really can't say.... 5. Disagree....He asked INTERFERE.... Riful got there late (probably to take advatage of the situation) however, Pricilla was there and Riful knew that her and Duph (Duff...lol) we no match for Pricilla Those are my views to those questions. |

The manga didn't show it though. #3 so it's BOTH literal and figurative. I was leaning on literal. #4. Right. We don;t know how old/senior the #s from 10-46 are... |

2. Luciela at that moment was completely powerless and weak. All Rafaela did was to come close enough while talking and break Luciela's back while hugging. The possibility of Rafaela awakening is an aftermath of fight - due to the knowledge on what she did, due to the fact that she completed her "mission", due to the emotional break(you know, all this stuff really piles up, and Rafaela has a really long time to pile up it...) 3. As for now ONLY Theresa and Irene can be considered as real "part" of Claire. Everything else is only a talk. Claire and 7 Others know that "they live because all the others have dead". "The Souls Inside Me" refer to the "debt" of being alive, thus being bound by the wishes of those who dead for them. 5. well Isley did not ask Priscila to interfere Against Luciela. Its unknown what at the end happened, but at that point both Isley and Luciela were nearly powerless and reverted to their "humanic" forms, due to the wounds, thus if Priscila was there and Isley would have given a "GO", Luciela would die before reaching the forest. Yes Priscila appeared there, before Riful and Duff came, but it was after the whole LucielaVSIsley battle. Yes, of Riful would have tried to take out Isley, Priscila would have gone "nasty mode". |

Here's a question: chibi Teresa met Raphaela accidentally in chapter 64, now she's supposed to be a "trainee". I know that Irene said that Claymores NEVER age (Ophelia arc). Chibi Teresa showed that she could 'sense' the "faint aura" on Raphy in chapter 64. IF Claymores DON'T AGE, how was chibi Teresa able to age/grow up normally? Wasn't she "technically" a Claymore with that "sensing ability" at a young age? |
Oct 2, 2007 7:23 AM
#45
I got an impression that the trainee period is during their time turning into full claymore...Its something similar like awakening, but the difference is that you go from Human to Claymore, through a short periods(which can hurt) |
Oct 2, 2007 8:16 AM
#46
Fai, here's the EXACT quote by Irene: "Perhaps you may already know this, but we half yomas mature, but we dont age." I got another answer from another forum, but that poster's explanation was that Teresa "matured", meaning she grows up BUT maturing is different from aging, though. |
Oct 5, 2007 2:05 PM
#47
Maybe as a trainee, they are Incomplete. allowing them to hit prime age. at that age the organization could remover the seal and keep them at one age. |
Oct 5, 2007 2:54 PM
#48
nightfalcon, if you've seen the cover of the last/latest ES that I posted on the board, it's a trainee BUT no one's sure who that Claymore is. Finally we can get answers on the "maturing age" of the trainees, or it's going to focus on the Claymore more than the ORG. |

It Looks a lot like Pricilla. which is backed up by the fact that all the other ES have covers of the people they are about. ES 1 Teresa, ES 2 Miria and now ES 3 Pricilla. That's no trainee. That has to be Pricilla. |
