[edit] Volume 6 info added

Galatea and Ofelia's profiles, new informations about the ranking...

[edit] About description

It is just a suggestion. Your writing is clear to me. In my opinion, it would be better with less opinions. The quote like "She will bring sorrow and desperation to everyone who meets her" and "Not much is known about her yet" are more like personal views. It's like saying Flora(#8) is the most beautiful girl so far. Those personal views are not completely wrong, and they may have some truthes.

Ophelia is more than just a psycho killer. Both her and Claire want to kill Priscilla for the similar reasons. You may like her in the next volume. Galatea's story is well known. She's #3 because she can confuse her opponents with yoma power. The confusion can cause them to miss hitting targets. Galatea befriends Claire after they team up to save Jeane(#9). she is punished by the organization after she tries to help Claire.

[edit] Thanks for your suggestions

I just read volume 8 and now I understand Ofelia's story, Galatea's power and her team up with Claire. Her punishment must be in the next volume, I guess...

[edit] Irene's technique

Galatea just get more jobs to do, since she's still usable for the organization. By the way, I beleive Irene's technique is called "flash Sword".


Could someone upload the rest of the images for the Claymores, that would be great. Many thanks

[edit] Claymore Generation & Ranking

Added Infobox animanga flag icons, references to the italian edition, some japanese links about the upcoming anime version. Add Claymore Generation to clarify character ranking.

I think Katia is also referenced as Number #30 by Riful in Vol.8. Wendy is also Number #30 (replacement?) according to Miria during the Northern Campaign. Should Katia's rank be added as well? -- Realmserpent, 03 June 2007

Riful states Katia is at 30s' range, so Katia's rank is not exactly #30.

[edit] Teressa's Torso Debut

Referencing to "Early in the manga, it appears that the front of Teresa's torso is hideously deformed, although we never see it directly. However, when we do see Jean's, later, no deformation is seen. This discrepancy has not been explained, though it may be related to the implanting of yoma flesh and its placement." in article. The discrepancy might be beacuse when we saw Jean's, she had returned from complete body awakening. I remember Ophelia put his hand into Clare's torso and when she pulled it back, there was blood on it. She didnt even hesitate to do it. In my opinion This shows all of the Claymores' torsos are like this. Jean was not a normal claymore at that time anymore. --Fotte (talk) 08:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Unless Ophelia just scratched her or poked a little hole in her or something.
Also, It looked like fresh blood, but if Clare was constantly bleeding then wouldn't it be noticeable?
Not to mention that Clare never had yoma flesh implanted into her. She just had Teresa's head (which was covered in completely normal looking skin). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.37.218 (talk) 09:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistencies

There are a few points that caught my attention. There is a part explaning nicknames, an example is "Flas Sword" for Irene, but it categorized as fighting style. I belive it was/is a Special technique just like in the "Windcutter" which is used by Flora. As contradiction, A few paragraph down, miria is called "Shadow Miria". I didnt see it anywhere in the manga. I guess it was "Phantom Miria". --Fotte (talk) 09:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

"Flash Sword Irene" and "Windcutter Flora" are the nicknames for those two respective characters, which they received based on their special techniques. As for Miria, however, I'm not sure why it says "Shadow Miria". The only nickname I recall for her is "Phantom Miria". King Zeal (talk) 12:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hybrid shape

The article states "both Isley and Luciela can apparently assume a hybrid shape somewhere between their Awakened and human form", but Riful is also capable of this( chapters 49 and 62), so i wonder if that ability is common among all awakeneds, at least it is among all the abyssals Yagami Kurono (talk) 23:37, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
