I enjoyed this episode as much as the first 2, but I was surprised and a little disappointed that Clare saved the 2 humans who were chasing after her. Out of character considering the fact the she's making all those excuses while taking Raki along in her journey.

Well, that's part of her job, isn't it? To protect humans from yoma. Having Raki tag along is what's more out of character, despite the excuses.
Yes, protect the humans, but only for her organisation. She doesn't really like humans the way I see it. Still, being the main character so far it's only natural for her to show a more humane side. Predictably, it's something she'll definately stuggle with and get into trouble for in the near future.

Human or not, getting impaled still gotta hurt. Let's see how much:
Episode 4 h264 - Eclipse
Episode 4 xvid - Eclipse
Edit: An interesting episode. It was nice how this yoma, and thus possibly the ones in the future, are not just stupid monsters but actually seem to have some wits and serious strength. Of course Clare let herself be compromised by protecting the mundane people, but you could also say that was part of the situation and thus unavoidable.
Still, the happenings in this arc could also be viewed to have just happened for the brief scene of Clare's yoma transformation be interrupted by... Something Raki initiated. Who knows what it was. Perhaps the Claymores are much more prone to turn into yoma when they human side is filled with negative thoughts and feelings and despair (since you could assume those are closer to the yoma world). Still, there seemed to be quite a forceful and powerful purification, with the flash of light and shock wave, so who knows what it was.
Interesting nonetheless. And it was nice how Raki got the sword. Maybe he will even learn how to use it. And buy a scabbard in the next town, since that didn't seem to have been a part of the bargain...

They left out an fun scene at the end of the episode from the manga. The knives throwing dude got infatuated with Clare and gave her a frenchie... then Raki goes and kicks him in the nuts. Not really important, but it would've been fun to see animated.
Nice action packed episode otherwise, and from the preview it seems we're entering one of my favorite arcs, the arc that made many manga readers see a lot of potential in the series.
I kinda wondering how Raki wasn't even scrached by yoma's energy while Glare was pushed away?
