Manga: Claymore

[poopdeville]

Despite the different tones between Berserk and Claymore, I really hope they reveal that Clare and Raki (Lucky?) live in post revolutionary Midland, and that the insignias the Claymores bare are in honor of Guts, the first demon slasher to survive. I do realize this is very unlikely, unless the mangaka got together and planned this out some. On the other hand, the Claymore world could easily be two or three hundred years after the Berserk world, and the plots would still make sense individually and together.

I hope Lucky gets some Clare action soon. I know I'd hit that.

[Munsu]

His name is officially Raki, not Lucky. In fact, raki doesn't mean lucky. Thanks.

'Raki' is the Japanese phonetic transliteration for 'Lucky'. Mangaka often use foreign names for foreign settings. In fact, 'Clare' is not a Japanese name, or even valid romaji (That would be 'Kureru'). This makes me wonder if the mangaka intended the name to be Lucky but the translators missed it. Thaaa-aaanks.

Rakki = Lucky. Raki is just Raki.

Raki = ラキ

Rakki = ラッキー

Both different.

Sure you can argue that he used Raki so that we can make a parallel with the "lucky" meaning. But the fact that he didn't use "Rakki" as his name suggest that "Lucky" was not meant to be his name.

And Clare is "Kurea" クレア

Well, this is some fairly crackpot speculatio- OH CHRIST THE MORE I DWELL ON THIS THE MORE IT COULD MAKE AN INKLING OF SENSE!

Apparently there's a raw that was released recently that's a sidestory of the main Claymore arc which features Teresa.

Another link for Claymore Extra Scene 1.





This just makes Teresa's death more incredible (not using the the wow/awesome sense of the word). The author is essentially saying that Teresa could've taken out or competed with awakened Priscilla if she hadn't been careless even though this conflicts with the Organization's agent telling Alicia that she was their strongest ever.

[Shadow Skill]

Holy! Even Teresa admits, it's easier to kill an awakened being, than it is to kill a normal yoma. I agree, Teresa is the strongest Claymore ever.

[Yukimura]

When did she say it was easier to kill an awakened being than a yoma?

[animus]

When not easier physically, but mentally it is easier because she's not killing someone who still has humanity left within them.
