| Decent episode. Was only part 1 and nothing special happened. Suprised me though that Clare's only number forty-seven but I guess once Teresa fully awakens within her, that'll change rapidly. I liked how the draw the rainy forest, looked really nice. |

| Yay, finally Miria appeared :D Can just wait for all the goodies now. |
| I really enjoyed that. Glad to have Clare and Raki back. I was expecting Clare's ranking to be low as part of a strategy, but after that scene where Teresa apeared I thinking like Cyruz too. But I'm guessing Teresa's power as been released from Clare a few times already, Like Miria said. She had a different feeling when she first met her... Now, the most important thing in this episode... who noticed? A male-awakened. Since the Awakened were once Claymores, then does this means there has been at least one male claymore in the past...? Or maybe I'm totally wrong and the Awakened can have "kids"... somehow I can't imagine that... If my supposition is true, than it means: Raki won't be the first Claymore if he follows down that path |

| Poor Clare. #47 ): A male-awakened. Since the Awakened were once Claymores, then does this means there has been at least one male claymore in the past...? I noticed that as well. I'm curious to see what their explanation for it is |

| I was really surprised Clare was so low on the totem pole when it came to their rankings. It just makes me want to see her get even more stronger and kick everyone's ass =P. I found Miria's analysis before their duel interesting since she said she felt back then that Clare may have been the strongest one amongst them. I'm guessing Clare needs some kind of trigger before she gets her full powers. And as for the male awakened, it didn't cross my mind when I saw it but that's a good point. Whatever the case, Miria was clearly shaken when considering their odds against him so it should be an interesting fight. |

  Dibs on Ishida! |
| Good episode =) I thought clare would be far down but not last, she's gotta get more powerful now though, bound to happen =D I noticed the male awakened thingy before Miria said it her self, perhaps there aren't male claymores because they are too powerful or perhaps they aren't as controllable/will easier become awakened. |
| Very nice episode, things seem to be moving on quite fast. |
| a male claymore, seems interesting. cant wait for the next |
     |
| An alright episode. The spar between Clare and Miria was kinda cool. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Pretty good episode, not nearly as good as the last two but some interesting stuff came up. Next episode should be awesome judging by how this one ended, probably a chance that we'll see some of Clare's true "powers" in the next episode. |
  |
| awakened ones were NECESSARILY Claymores? I don't remember when it says that... still, great ep. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| Good episode, damn the production company for ending the episode just when it was getting good. Pretty much everyone's assumptions were on the money. Next episode should reveal some interesting things, if not, then the next one. As for the male awakened beings they will explain it later, but for those who want to know now. Oh another something to keep in mind concerning Clare's strength, but may be spoilerish (well, not really since they already presented the info) so... nihil raises an interesting point. The manga hasn't addressed it yet, though. |

| nice episode, now the series should get moving in the good path, they summed "the slashers" arc into 3 episodes, meaning, next one will be a very fun fighting episode, oh, and in episode 12 they start "The Endless Gravestones" that i really loved in the manga, i just love madhouse. |
 |
| kio, if you want to discuss the Claymore manga, there's always the Claymore topic on the Manga board...easier than PMing...And it's been kind of quite of late... |
| Took me by surprise when there's a male awakened being, god damn it, how many more secrets the organization have?! And I think Clare releases her true strength fighting against yomas and not claymores, maybe subconsciously. |
 |
| Jeez...one shock after another! Back to Clare and Raki, and they skipped so much on Clare's training and all that! I was really looking forward to seeing that. :( Then Clare's number is so low. She seems to have a much younger look about her now, more soft and less powerful. THEN a male awakened. WTF! Episode 10, I need you! |
     |
| In the Anime it says that there hadn't been a successful male Claymore. Third or fourth episode. I believe that is why. =) They all turned into Awakened ones when the youma was placed inside of them. Just a theory though I haven't read any of the manga. |
Check out how a pimp blings.  |

| That's what I was thinking when I saw the male awakened.. I must have Epsiode 10!!! |

Well if that was the case then I'd guss that all the claymores would know that male awakened beings exist obviously knowing that only female claymores exist and males that try to become claymores become male awakened beings. But... The claymores in the last episode seemed pretty suprised to find a male awakened being so I see this as being unlikely as they wouldn't have been so surprised... |

Damoizgod said: I don't think they where surprised in that way Damo. At least Miria. I think she was surpised that they where sent to kill a male one with a weak party since probably the male awakened raw strenght is far superior to the female ones.Well if that was the case then I'd guss that all the claymores would know that male awakened beings exist obviously knowing that only female claymores exist and males that try to become claymores become male awakened beings.

After jupiterjazz brought this up, I'm now pretty convinced that the male awakened are the organization mistakes of the past... in episde 2~3 the guy in black said "there was never a success creating a male claymore... maybe 'coz they imediately turned into awakened beings" so they turned up to women. I also think the amount of information the Claymore's get from the Organization is limited and thus they don't know all the facts. edit: fixed the quote problem >_> |

I also think the amount of information the Claymore's get from the Organization is limited and thus they don't know all the facts. I agree with Karyhandros. As for the episode, I'm really excited about seeing episode 10. It leaves alot open for explanation and to see if the theories and conclusions you all have posted are close or right. I really wonder whether Clare will be strong or not. Finding out about her past and Miria's assessment makes this more interesting... as if wasn't already. I had hoped to see Raki get stronger, but it doesn't look like there's an emphasis on that. Omerby mentioned episode 12 as the start for the next arc. I'll keep what you said in mind until then. I see that Kio has used spoiler tags... thank you... and I did read those spoilers. I'm not one to get upset over those. Makes me more excited about future episodes. For sure, I will watch it before watching epiodes from other series that I REALLY need to catch up on. |
   |
| I am sure Raki will get stronger, although that has not happened yet, not even in the manga...but I am 100% certain that he eventually will...I think he will slowly become more important as well...guess we just have to wait and see... |
| Spoiler tags are essential, otherwise we wouldn't have this nice exchange of theories and speculations. I'm just sad that I can't take part in it, since I spoiled myself on the manga. *sniff* *sniff* j/k |
| Good ep, although the dark shading a little overdone in certain parts. :) The mention of male claymores success and failure is dependent on whose standpoint. They were apparently strong, but with some baggage... Well, more bedlam and who is going to survive... :) |
| Sore wa himitsu desu. |
| Good ep. Can't wait to see the awaked male claymore... |
| Wow... A male Awakened... How can that be? Nice episode. |
| If history is to be changed, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to be destroyed, I must simply laugh! |
| wow, first they build up Teresa & when we get back to the main story we find out that Clare is bottom of the barrell. D@mn! that sux It seems that the organization has a hell of a lot of dark secrets... |
 |
| they never actually thought why the lowest rank would be sent on such an important mission? idiots. and now something rare, a male awakened being- must be so hard for them to find good men, eh? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Wow, it just hit me that Clare was the only Claymore shown in the first four episodes. So, it never occurred to me that she may be the weakest. Interesting episode. |

insan3soldiern said: Wow, it just hit me that Clare was the only Claymore shown in the first four episodes. So, it never occurred to me that she may be the weakest. Interesting episode. Exactly. We had NOTHING to compare her too.... except for her friend (Who was reaching her 'limit') who she had to dispose of. I still think she's a lot stronger than her rank and that the organization is just f'ing with her for some reason but giving her a low rank- maybe due to her ties with Teresa or the fact that she was 'made' from a Claymore, not a full youma. Just thinking out loud... decent episode. |
  |
| I thought this was a really cool episode. Are these going to continuously end in the middle of a battle? That's a pain in the arse. I was going to watch something else tonight but now it will be the next episode. |
| Such junk... |
| Poor Clare , stuck with bitch-queens in forest without killing them.... |
| I know Miria is one of my favorites. I'm so happy. They finally got together as a team!! Now the real fun begins! |
| I am apart from everything and a part of everything. Frozen Fire, Tim Bowler |
| Woah entire force to beat Priscilla..so what Era is Teresa in? Helen #22 Deneve #15 Miria #6 Clare #47 Sparring moment Omg a male Awakened, there must be an explanation for this |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Last place. Poor Clare has to put up with their crap. The male Awakened seems interesting. |
| Those two Claymores are such bitches!! Poor Clare...having to listen to them whine and moan about her rank. Good thing Miria can keep them in check! Looking forward to learning more about this male Claymore. |
 |
| Great episode, i can't wait to see them killing the male awakening being. |
| Uwahh, its getting so good. :D |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| They had more than 47 claymores, but they were assigned a new rank whenever someone of sufficent talent was trained, or if someone died/awakened, or am i mistaken? |

| Darn.. Raki is back. I'm not too fond of him.. |

     |
| Come on Claire show Us what u got!! |
 |
| She's got the lowest rank??? LOL now what are they going to do :l |
 |
| Lol didn't they say males couldn't become claymores? Anyways, I was cringing when they were saying out their ranks. xD |
