| Another awesome episode. I hope you all are happy, now that Raki hit that other guy in the face when he was talking crap. Anyway, so they get extra strength when they wield their own swords. And if that's not enough they can surpass that half-human half-yoma power level and use some of the yoma's power which also means they get closer to transforming into one. I didn't expect that Raki was going to be the one who's able to sorta stop that process, guess how he did it will be explained a bit later on in the story. But Raki did his part in this episode. How he cought that sword in the end seemed a bit odd to me though. I didn't see a scabbard so that must've hurt ^^. |

| Yes, yes.. Awsome <3333 Can't possibly wait til next week, Teresa <33333333 Finallyz |
| i agree with cyruz finally raki caught my eyes and he was being useful im liking this show more and more when it gets older :D |
     |
| I'm glad Raki is becoming more useful and cool, even if he is still a bit of a crybaby. The sword thing is interesting too - the last episode makes more sense now, since she isn't at her best without her sword even after the pills wear off. Awesome show still, and I like the way it's progressing. |

Cyruz said: yes, that and he saving clare. I hope that's enought for the people that were critizing him after the first 2 episodes >.> ....Another awesome episode. I hope you all are happy, now that Raki hit that other guy in the face when he was talking crap. Cyruz said: hm, what I understood was that they don't get any extra strengh Cyrus, Clare only intended the the youma to think so, but she was actually pushing herself to the limit like Raki said. It was meant as a strategy to end the battle in one stroke since she was growing weaker. that's why I understood at least.Anyway, so they get extra strength when they wield their own swords. Cyruz said: yes I also hope that gets explained in the story, I actually thought she was going to lose her powers or something lol...I didn't expect that Raki was going to be the one who's able to sorta stop that process, guess how he did it will be explained a bit later on in the story. But Raki did his part in this episode. Cyruz said: Ok that just failed... he was holding the sword by the blade like that? it's a blade not a blunt weapon! This wasn't the only glitch I noticed.The big guy was impaled through the chest and then 2 minutes later he was moving like nothing had happened? he was even going to execute Clare on that condition... >.> ... the action need to be more frenetic IMO, there was way too many talking between attacks there. Well then again... maybe I'm just being a perfectionist.How he cought that sword in the end seemed a bit odd to me though. I didn't see a scabbard so that must've hurt ^^. Anyway, I'm looking foward to the next ep. A new claymore appears after all. But I really hope we won't see anymore of those blatant glitches. edit: and me wants to see how far will Raki go ^.^ |

| Errr...I'm pretty sure that was a grey scabbard... When the knight is holding up the sword, telling Raki to take it, it looks like it has a blunt edge. It was a good episode nonetheless. |

Cyruz said: This was explained in the second episode if you remember. Besides, if you've watched close enough you notice that when she heals herself or uses the Yoma power she busts out all these veins and muscles. Thats supposed to be a way for the creators of the show to tell you that she's using the Yoma power. Also, like I said, in episode 2 when she kills her old friend, it's explained that over time the Claymore become more and more Yoma due to them using their Yoma powers.And if that's not enough they can surpass that half-human half-yoma power level and use some of the yoma's power which also means they get closer to transforming into one. Great episode in my opinon though. I'm very curious as to what that huge explosion was when she thought she was going to lose herself to the Yoma in her and Raki came and gave her all that emotional support. |

| Great episode. Clare is just awesome. Definitely looking forward to the next episode, especially since we get to see Teresa. I generally dont like backstory's but Claymore is one that i really enjoyed, even if it took up like 2 volumes to tell. |
 |
| Good episode =) love Clare =) |

| Okay, finally Raki actually did something. At least now he isn't completely worthless. Granted, he's still annoying. At least he has a sword now too. He can go around crying and swinging randomly at the same time. I think I find him so annoying because of his seiyuu. It's just too high pitched for a guy imo. |
| I don´t mind Raki really, I seen worse then him, ofcourse he acts to be dumb kinda, but hey he will get probably alot cooler when he will have like 3 of those womans around him or so if they will acompany him and Clare as we basically saw in the intro song part. Anyway atleast Raki isn´t totally useless he saved Clare from transforming and to be killed, so in the end thanks to him we can enjoy Clare her awesomeness alot longer ;3 |

Cyruz said: Another awesome episode. I hope you all are happy, now that Raki hit that other guy in the face when he was talking crap. Ha, yes, that did make me happy. It made me kinda happy too, though when the guy hit him back. :P Kayrhandros said: The big guy was impaled through the chest and then 2 minutes later he was moving like nothing had happened? he was even going to execute Clare on that condition... >.> ... the action need to be more frenetic IMO, there was way too many talking between attacks there. I absolutely agree. For an episode that should have been really action-packed, there was a hell of a lot of talking. Even the freakin' Yoma was chatty! And those two definitely should have died. But, still, I enjoyed it. I don't know how I feel about Clare being saved by the power of Raki's love (yawn), but I'll go with it for now. :) |
     |
| Well you say love, but I think this is a differend love then most usual animes have, he just want too have some family that gives about him, to be with him, and considering the way it goes he won't stay a sissy too long and be alot cooler too see. I can't see him staying a sissy till the end no way, if they would do that it would blow the whole anime to badness, and I doubt that mostly. |
|
| No, I wouldn't think they would do that. It seems like one of the themes of the series is Raki coming into his own "power." Though he could be whiny and powerful... |
|
| Well yeah I guess so yeah, though how would he be training himself then, I do think Clare became quite friendly and carring somewhat for Raki, would you think she will be powering him up for bit of fighting so he atleast can defend himself while she be slaughtering the enemies ? |
|
| good episode, but something has to start soon... |
| Wow, this series is just fantastic! I just finished episode 4 and it was the best ep yet IMO. And I really didn't think the series could get that much better after the first episode! |
| I liked the ending. Very nice. |
| I'm back. |
| who just throws a kid a sword? and he catches by the blade and then he runs off with it still holding it like that, just rofl |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| i did kinda hate Raki until the end of this episode. I know some people found his bawwwing annoying, but the whole his-love-saving-Clare thing, I actually really liked that idea. It adds some emotion to the storyline and builds up what is now guaranteed to be a well thought-out series in terms of emotion and so forth. I, for one, loved this episode. |

| Good stuff, I got more questions but I suppose answers are on their way. |
| Such junk... |
| I'm liking this anime more and more as I watch it. The character development seems good and I also like that it's based around Medieval times. Raki was better in this episode to me and he will almost certainly have a larger part in the Claymore society after how he saved Clare in the end. Definitely watching the next episode soon. |
 |
| GREAT episode. Excellent. Can't wait for the nect one... Raki is proving to be very useful. I'm glad he played such a large role in this episode. |
  |
| at least raki FINALLY did something.... |
| So another irritating kid involves. Great episode, there was no biased at all, that Clare can't 100% win by using just a dual knife. |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Epic Yoma reversal. |
| I was worried about Clare for a bit. Raki was so pitiful. He was ready to die with Clare. Wow! |
 |
| Gotta say, this episode impressed me. At least Clare didn't officially become a full yoma and berserk. Also i find Clare cool in her suit here. |
| So the power of "love/friendship" saved her? ._. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Well, where else would she keep her sword? That was the only logical place, in their luggage that is |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| Keeps getting better and better. Finally Raki shows he has some fight in him. |
| Predictable , but this was a nice episode overall. |
| well he finally gets a sword. i'm thinking in the next episodes he'll think he can save her now from everything, which he wont, and the result will be that Claire gets impaled....again. |
     |
| Hope the kid gets stronger. |
 |
| Ok, it wasn't the priest. Good trick having it being the mummy instead. And Raki is finally being useful. How can the big guy get impaled by a Youma and 2 minutes later be walking and carrying a sword like nothing? |

| Turning out to be pretty awesome I guess haha. The action was great. But WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, ALL PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED. I guess they will explain what happened later. Maybe he can be half Yoma too now and he actually absorbed some of the power or something. |

| Wow, awesome episode. The fight was badass. Also loved how Clare was stoped from becoming Yoma. |
