Jean (Not Jeane, screw that silent e) is badass. She's been impaled way worse then Claire ever has and she's still kicking with barely any sweat.

Hmph! Jean is #9, Clare is #47.Originally Posted by Yukimura
In that episode, Clare was wondering what Raki was to her, I wonder, what really? I know this has been asked before, but with some new info from this episode, it really seems that Clare has at least a bit of romantic feelings for Raki (considering the scenes that were shown during the flashback and her monologue).
Peace.
Not all of them are though. The one Ophelia killed just seemed to roam from city to city eating people, and only spoke about her own superiority. From the very few mentions of her since, Priscilla seems to have only gone on a rampage and then disappeared. Kathia couldn't even speak, and neither apparently could the one that Miria killed before she semi-awakened.
Excepting Priscilla, since she's emotionally unstable (more than Ophelia), it seems more like only the strongest Claymores can get to that level of control that allows them the self control to plan and execute thoughtful plans. Again, just like with Claymores themselves, governing over their strengths seems to be a matter of will power and control.
Creepy Loli seems to have a great deal of it.
Shit, this episode ended in the worst spot ever. I may have to start reading the manga now.
Clare will get stabbed a lot more after she finds Raki.
If you know what I mean.
I can't say I agree quite yet that it's a romantic bond between the two. Raki hasn't given much indication that he's actually attracted to Clare, more like he's eternally grateful to her and looks up to her. I think the 'big brother' ruse is an accurate description.
As for what Clare feels about Raki... it did seem that her thoughts on him were a little flowery and... well, maybe... At first I thought it was because he reminded her of her previous life with Teresa, but now I think that. And will Raki be able to oppose her advances (will he even want to?)?
The 'Clare and Raki' supporters here at least publicly acknowledge their pedophilic tendencies in their sigs... /b/ much?
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I'm actually a /h/ guy myself.
I'm fighting the same urge too. But I figure I'll still wait for the weekly episodes, as I really like the animation and music. The manga will have to wait.
"Our hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." 天の道を行き、全てを司る。これは僕の世界。
It's worth it if you can hold out. So far, it's been a near perfect adaptation, only shortening a worthless chapter 2 into a 30 second clip, cutting a few lines of Teresa backstory dialog, and adding more material about Miria.
The music is good (I'm really liking the bagpipes), and the voicework has been superb. I got chills when Miria was being tortured by the Awakened that I never got from the manga. Some of that is Kikuko Inoue's very nice performance, but that scene was just so much more terrible in the anime. Ophelia also gets projected way up the Creepy-o-meter with voicework.
Maybe the chick that was sent to find Clare will end up helping her?

Well, it depends on what type of orders she was given... If the orders were simply to find her, then I think there's a chance that she'll help her. But if the orders were to eliminate her, then she'll surely take her down... I don't see these Claymores defying the organization on a mere whim. Also, do you think that she'll reach Clare on time? She seems to be far away.
Claymores -do- travel fast when they want to.
for some reason, I can only see Galatea as not helping... It just fits the formula that the people blindly loyal to the organization often impede the main character (who has his/her own sense of justice/right)... Unless the creepy girl is really so super strong and so requires Clare, Jean and Galatea to team up... Clare simply can't fall to a character like that!

The one sent to find Clare was #3 Galatea not #5. #5 is the one that found Irene.
Loving this series more and more. Cant wait for the next episode. And I think Clare and Raki will have some kind of romance. I think it was the previous episode where they mention Claymores grow to a certain point and then stop unlike humans. Why else would they mention that if they were suggesting that Clare isnt getting any older while Raki is still growing. And I HOPE Irene is still alive, shes my fav...
Irene had no arms or weapons and the assassin Claymore was supposed to be even better than her #5 rank implied. She is definitely dead.
Irene also said she needed both of her arms to even remotely stand a chance.
I think what she said was, it would have worked out if I had both arms (from the actual japanese), which I believe meant that she would win, since escape from claymores of high caliber is virtually impossible.
That comment was of course not only to imply the strength of number 5, but also to eliminate any guilt or blame that Clare may suffer for having taken Irene's arm.
Peace.
Hmmm... Interesting point. Kind of flushes out the "pedophile" thought of Clare.
