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 ?

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!

Good episode, if a bit predictable... Was nice to see Raki do more than just whine about his situation. Double kudos for him punching the knife guy in the face for talking down about Clare.

I thought she was toast twice this episode. I'm not sure how Raki's feelings saved her, that irritates me. But I can't stop watching either.

I Don't know. I just started watching this serie cause it scored pretty high. But never before have I been bothered by so many small things that were wrong lol. I can't remember most of it, but weird things like. She was stabbed, and the second after, her body was totally reversed, like she was stabbed while looking the other way. Or at the end, the dude throws a sword at the kid (Without shaft or anything) and the kid just grabs it TIGHTLY with both hands (the sword not handle) and swings the sword around for waving. WITHOUT, bleeding, or feeling any pain as if the sword was made out of plastic T_T

And like millions of those small things that are weird and kinda out of place I noticed.


Overall the episode was cool I guess, I'm gonna continue watching this serie. I think im comparing it to much to the good pro anime's, but this is looking good so far.

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.

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.

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.

Raki was so pitiful. He was ready to die with Clare.

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.

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.

I knew that I've noticed the feel of anime I've watched before, but I recognized it just now - Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. The case about people sacrificing themselves to fight monsters, and not only that but their selfless sacrifice goes even further - at the end they themselves turn into the monsters they've been fighting with. Yeah, that drama is on a quite high level.

I seem to be sticking with the show at this point.

All those knights (beside these two guys that are stabbed heavily but totally immortal) were very helpful during that fight! I mean, seriously, where the hell were they? I guess protecting Vincent & Co. was priority, lol.

cuuuuuute, Claire was saved by Raki's affection! :)

aww and the knights gave Raki his own sword so he can (at least try) to help Claire :3 it'll help him cut up vegetables otherwise ;)

When the enemy becomes talkative all of the sudden, you know it's gonna lose. Clare sure talked a lot in this episode, eh. Another episode where Raki being Raki.

After 4 episodes, I still can't see how this is any good at all.

To be fair she was already wounded and they stated that this was a special kind of Yoma, a voracious eater.
Even though Raki's presence can sometimes be a bit annoying he did save Clare, now let's see whether he'll actually be a good back-up for her :)

Well yeah that makes sense but take yourself out of the series and by just looking at the episode count, 4 of 26 and to already be pushed to her limit...yeah obviously this wouldn't really be her limit or she wasn't going to make it through the series.
