T_T why is the organization so evil? using the bodies of former #1's to create Claymore/Priscilla hybrids, so sad - i hope the rebellion doesn't lose too many members like the battle in the North did

I wonder if the revived #1's retain some of their original personality, the monologue from Dae was kinda confusing :?

also cool too see Raki has advanced surprisingly, thought he was just gonna be a hindrance again like when he was younger *hoping for a happy Claire x Raki reunion*

I not sure why they are evil, but it is revealed they are using earth as an experiment for a war in another part of the universe. The fight was against dragon race vs humans. With the humans using some of the creatures dna to enhance there soliders. But the soliders with part creature implemented in them are pretty much abandoned by their allies after the battle is over. They continuely take orphans and other children as there subjects to make differents types of claymores, yomas, awakened beings, etc. I would explain more but u can just reread chapters 79 and 80.

The revived number ones have retained most of their personality so they wont be completely obedient. Especially since they were hard to deal with when they were originally alive. That is what Dae was explaining.

Im also glad to see Raki develop into a strong warrior. But Im not sure about the Clare and Raki reunion, Clare is so fixated on getting revenge for Teresa she might quit searchng for him. But I doubt Raki will leave her once he finds her though. Especially with his new personality and abilities. He seems worthy of being a generic shounen protagonist

yeah, but i don't think anything about this manga can be considered "generic" from what I've seen so far

in general, most Japanese mangas with heroines seem to have weak female leads (with some notable exceptions ie:full metal alchemist) but Claymore seems to be in a category of it's own, i mean even the lead male character is significantly weaker than all the female claymores

if there's other manga that are like this out there i'd like to read them, but i've read maybe 300+ and it's the trend i've seen so far
