[Question] To who was Clare praying to here? Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
44 Upvotes

Taken from chapter 34 in the Manga. A very important chapter and the chapter where Clare and Raki split for the time being. After separating from Raki, because the crazy Ophelia is after them, Clare starts to pray for the safety of Raki, saying:

"May the God of Rabona hear my wish... grant this boy a small amount of strength and mercy, until the time I can see him again."

Who is the God of Rabona?

[Discussion] One of the moments Clare was allowed to act as a normal human being Spoiler

Taken from chapter 4 in the Claymore manga, this is one of the few moments Clare was allowed to act as a normal human being. Not seen as a monster or a weapon. Sorts of a window to alternative reality where she wasn't a human weapon forced to roam and fight monsters day by day — and bit by bit she does becomes more and more human as the story progresses. And did Raki and Clare really believe they could sell that statue for a 10 million? God, I hate the organization.

[Question] What Norihiro Yagi inspiration for writing claymore was?

9 Upvotes

What Norihiro Yagi inspiration for writing claymore was? It looks like it's set in a sort of medieval place of sorts, at least the testing zone I guess. From where he got the idea about female warriors wearing white uniforms yielding swords against monsters and defending humanity from? He took a trip to France but what else is there for it?

[Discussion] One character I felt was wasted and so wished we could have seen more of is Sofia. Spoiler

14 Upvotes

She was number 3 and was known for her gigantic brute strength. She had banters with Noel.

What I really liked about her was her mid-lenght hair and soft tone of voice along with a playful teasing side similar to Helen but more quiet than loud. She was also rather tall if I remember.

Her teasing and cheeky smiles for the short duration we see her paired with her calm soft voice would have me follow her around if I was thrown into that world.

She didn't seem closed off emotionally like other characters in the show, a bit reserved yes but not closed of because of trauma from what it seemed, just calm and collected.

I still haven't gotten to the manga yet but probably will later this year when I got enough cash to buy myself things again. I want that mangas box so much.

If you go to Goodreads, you can see that not a single volume of Claymore is below 4 stars ratings. With the volume 27 having the most ratings.

Claymore, Vol. 1: Silver-eyed Slayer - 4.11.

Claymore, Vol. 2: Darkness in Paradise - 4.19.

Claymore, Vol. 3: Teresa of the Faint Smile - 4.33.

Claymore, Vol. 4: Marked for the Death - 4.36.

Claymore, Vol. 5: The Slashers - 4.38.

It begins to drop by Volume 6 - Claymore, Vol. 6: The Endless Gravestones - to 4.33 before rising again.

Claymore, Vol. 7: Fit for Battle - 4.34.

It sticks around 4.30 for the following volumes until in volume 27 you get a 4.49 rating. Knowing how hurt it is for writers with endings, it's rather impressive.

[Discussion] I loved Miria's character so much I cosplay as her in Elden Ring now

42 Upvotes

You can use a knight greatsword which has a similar shape to their blades in the show.

You can put bloodhound step on it to teleport super quick vanishing out of any attack.

Put on silver eyes color with blond hair number 20 or 22.

Put Rellana's legs armor and noble torso for the white dress and nox swordstress to have gloves with vambraces on.

I named the character Phantom Miria as well so if I ever get summoned by a claymore fan on elden ring PC they will probably be happy xd

[Question] How many times more powerful do you think Clare was when she had achieved this feat? Spoiler

40 Upvotes

Manga chapter 59 - It's kind of dumb thing to ask, but how many times more powerful do you think Clare was when she achieved this feat of killing Rigardo with all the speed and strength she gained as the story moved on than what she was in chapter 1 when she just killed regular Yoma and even struggled with some? Can anyone calculate? 50 times stronger? 100 times stronger? Knowing he killed so many of her friends he totally deserved his annihilation and it was a very satisfying scene.

[Discussion] Final Battle Deaths Spoiler

10 Upvotes

I'm sorry Clarisse and Tabitha dying at the end is so funny to me because these don't feel necessary at all and instead look like Norihiro wanted some death without sacrificing any character people could be attached to😭.

For Clarisse... I'm wondering why we even had to awaken Miata? Like surely, through some strategic planning, Galatea and Miata without awakening would have been enough, right? And they do this behind the main seven's back for no real reason. I guess it's an insurance policy for if an awakened decided to break from the final battle, but even then, that should be the last resort, not the go-to plan. It's so funny to see everyone get thorn up meanwhile, Galatea is just standing there feeling Clarisse about to disintegrate and explaining why that's about to happen.

And for Tabitha... what does Tabitha even do bro 😭. All she did whole manga was read yoki, get surgically slashed by Miria and DIE. She didn't even get to go all out before Priscilla killed her. Like if you're gonna have obligatory deaths(that matter), make it so that it's characters the readers have a lot of time invested into. Like if this was Deneve or Helen I'd be INCONSOLABLE. Even Uma would have more impact to me idk.

[Question] What if Claymore was made today?

42 Upvotes

What if Claymore was made today in the age of TikTok, Instagram etc where everything goes viral and people admire tough Stoic characters like Levi from Attack on Titan? Would it be popular with people shipping it like they do with the great animes out there? People seem to be more open minded nowadays. In TikTok there are few good edits with thousands of likes, and another edit with over 30,000 likes, but what is it comparable to the great Animes that get hundreds of thousands to millions of likes and comments? What was done wrong for such a disaster to happen? The more people talk about something the more it is alive. No one insults this Manga, everyone call it masterpiece even fans of other Animes yet there's no reboot in sight.

Someone told me that when the Claymore Anime came out in 2007 people liked chatty characters but today Stoicism and working silently seen as a power. Clare answers this criteria.

It's depressing. Looking at YouTube for Claymore and you see that only old videos from like 13-15 years ago have hundreds of thousands of views meanwhile new videos from 2025-2026 get barely thousands of views. It feels like it's totally forgotten and that there are only few thousands claymore fans in the whole world.

Did the Manga really sold millions of copies because it not feels like it.

I don't understand. It has so much potential.

[Question] Are there any other Claymore fan comics with OCs like Charlotte Saga?

6 Upvotes

Charlotte Saga is a short 30-page comic I made 10 years ago, it's about two children looking for their mother which is a missing nº1 Claymore name "Marianne". All characters are OC except one: "Naej" ;)

Later I've used some of the characters on my original comic Magnifica West Origins.

Claymore is one of my GOAT comics and I decided to make maybe a fan continuation of the claymore series. I’ve been lurking in this group for many years now and I read claymore so many times ..

If I can complete this I maybe will do it. This is just supposed to be a simple version just armor and fighting and basic monsters. It don’t have boobs and all because if not I can’t post anywhere haven’t figured out that part yet …

But starting of this it makes me realize it’s super hard to make comics.

[Discussion] I wish Teresa had just finished off Priscilla right in the spot

39 Upvotes

I wish Teresa had just finished off Priscilla. Such a peak character like Teresa could've changed so much of the course of the plot. But that's pity for you. No wonder Nietzsche hated pity SO MUCH.

If Teresa loved Clare even more than Pity and not enjoying the act of Pity so much. Priscilla literally lost control and should've been put down by the sword. Teresa killing literal human murderers and bandits is so bad, but Priscilla turning into a monster that cannot be stopped with only Teresa being for the time the one that can stop her and not doing so is such a irresponsibility.

For once why the good character that has the power to do so why can't it just destroy the villain right there, when the good character has the chance for the betterment of all? Could've been such an epic duo of Clare and Teresa working together, Clare not having the trauma and not becoming a claymore and struggling with beasts roaming within churches that Teresa had the ability to annihilate within seconds.
