Claymore Battle of the north

The setup to this arc was honestly brilliant because it introduces the creatures of the abyss, gives us a target in Isley, and gives us information on Priscilla’s location. We meet Galatea and Jean and then Clare is on her way to Pieta after clashing with Dauf and Riful.

We see a glimpse of the situation in Pieta and there’s a large army of awakened beings and the current claymores fighting them are getting handled. When Rafaela shows up to assign clare the mission, the situation is in her benefit since the organization will give her a pardon.

It was heartwarming to see everyone had survived when they all met after the rest of the warriors were sleep. Helens fun gesture of greeting Clare is always nice to see and it showed that our group hadn’t changed much since the last awakened being.

Miria is the leader and she shows off her excellent leadership skills the entire arc. She breaks down that with these circumstances in trying to stop Isley and the awakened beings, they have 0 chance of success. She expands on the organization pulling the strings from afar.

The first battle with the awakened beings is super important because they made the first move. This forced the squad leaders and the other members on the defensive early on until they got comfortable fighting an awakened being. Many were injured but no deaths occurred.

Eventually the claymores got back on the offensive. Miria’s reasoning for splitting the teams was genius to equally distribute experience of fighting an awakened being across the warriors. This also improved their teamwork and familiarity with fighting together.

I like when Undine presses Miria about her decision as a leader. It makes the characters human that not everyone will follow her orders with their head down, it also is important that other strong leaders among this squad of 24 back her up, like wind cutter flora.

After the first battle it’s pretty obvious that there is no escape to this situation. The organization backed the warriors into an unfavorable situation and now it up to them to face despair and death.

I really like Deneve and Undine’s relationship. All claymores are cut from the same cloth, All warriors have experienced loss so they cling to something else or each other. In undine’s case it’s the sword of a fallen warrior. Undine is insecure but puts on a strong facade. Deneve is one of the most logical and important members of the group. She feels sorrow and sadness but has to keep everyone else up too, if one is weeping, she has to put them back on their feet. Deneve values sacrifices (due to her past) and making the death of someone count.

Deneve’s sympathy for Undine’s situation fuels her vengeance. It’s honestly really fitting that she now carries on Undine’s 2 sword style as an homage to her and respect for her captain. Deneve has a strong resolve and fights as the proof of Undine’s existence. I really enjoyed the sparring match between Clare and Flora. It was interesting seeing another warrior with a speedy but similar technique to Clare. Flora gave up the trivial matter for their fight and they carried on as warriors sharing the battlefield.

Raki’s appearance was good in pairing him with Isley and Priscilla. The man who is currently trying to kill clare and assault Pieta, and the one horned monster that Clare has spent her life desiring to kill. I find it very interesting that Raki grows attached to Clare’s enemies. When Rigaldo arrived, his plan to target all the squad leaders paid off because he got the jump on them and blitzed most of their important members. He was on a rampage until Clare, Helen, Deneve and Miria attempted to go on the offensive.

The fight with Rigaldo was a very fun one to read. It was so fun seeing someone keep up with Miria’s speed but have a large skill set to defend himself against all 4 of the warriors. Rigaldo had Miria’s phantom figured out and was just seizing the opportunity in the fight. I really like Clare’s awakening because it is in typical shonen fashion a “desire for more power” but in her case she’s giving in to the yoma in her. Clare is letting the yoki energy surge so she can awaken. She cuts off Rigaldo’s arm and tips the scale of this fight.

Clare is adjusting to her newfound speed and enhanced abilities. Throughout the fight she is pushing Rigaldo back (now that he has 1 arm) but she still isn’t able to control her direction very well since only her legs have awakened. She continues to increase the energy she uses. When Clare finally snaps and goes over the edge to kill Rigaldo, she is now in the same situation as Jean and as at the point of no return. Clare ask Helen to kill her after her awakening but Jean steps in to repay her debt from the witch’s maw in riful’s clutches.

Jean and Clare have a really nice dynamic because unlike the rest of her team members she is very honorable and straightforward. Jean has made it a point that her life is Clare’s to use and now she is able to repay her for the actions in Zakol. This scene was heartbreaking because it was the first time since Teresa that we’ve seen Clare weep like this, Jean was important and a friend. Jean taught clare something valuable about her technique and the way to control it, she also gave her life for Clare to live.

I like the glimpse we get into the organization’s stronghold on the warriors. They even plan for new eyes so they can dispose of Galatea. The organization is trying to eliminate any potential rebels in the future. They speak of the new “eyes”. Priscilla’s scene where she speaks of the lights going out is both poetic and tragic. The lights of Pieta slowly fading as the final ones are bright and strong, she is crying from afar watching as people are being wiped out, she states the final lights are ephemeral.

The introduction of Alicia and Beth was terrifying, the number one of Clare’s generation. Alicia being able to fully awaken while sharing one mind with Beth is an insanely deadly tactic only being compatible with twins. Isley vs Luciela is a really good fight, it really shows the extent of abilities that the creatures of the abyss possess. Isley and Luciela are equally matched and both of their awakened designs are phenomenal.

I really like the bit about Luciela and Rafaela being the failed experiment of complete yoki synchronization. Rafaela is pretty old considering she was around for Teresa as a teen & after her death, she’s still around when Clare is a warrior. This death hug was sadly beautiful. Miria’s plan to hide out and see who survives was a very smart and difficult plan. It really tested her prowess as a leader and the toughness she has to leave the ability of survival up to the individual warrior and everyone had equal chances.

Miria feels like she is to blame for the 7/24 warriors that survived that are now the 7 ghost but her team picks her up on this and lets her know she did the best she could. I love how the comradeship of them has only grown better through the years they were off the grid. This wraps up my battle of the north thread. I honestly love this arc and it completely shifts the feel and stakes of claymore dramatically after the timeskip.

A commission I did. Never drawn claymore before and I know Undine’s swords are supposed to be bigger, but I still love how it turned out!

There was also some thought awhile ago that why would the Organization waste resources giving the warriors actual armor when they were all basically experiments to be replaced as the process of creating warriors and Awakened Beings got refined or "perfected."

It was a human-weapons program at the end. If the entire point was to (eventually) have (some) Awakened. Why give them armor that might naturally incline them not use as much their auras? They're essentially forcing them to use their aura more frequently.

But, yeah, there is the practicality that the warriors needed more flexibility than what most of the armor would actually give.

The Claymore armor issue™

I've seen a few people complaining about the armor in Claymore and uhh while I agree with the take that the crotch line thing is weird asf (and the majority of the ghost's armor is impractical) the fact that they don't have a lot of metal armor covering them isn't a "women's armor in medieval fantasy" issue.

It's that way bc of how the warriors use their power.

I'm strictly talking about the muscle expansion that happens at 50% of power usage. Imagine if their muscles grew larger inside a metal suit of armor, it would either break (because warriors have unnatural strength) or it would hurt them by constricting their bodies and they wouldn't be able to fight.

Galatea might be one of the best examples of it bc she used it without going overboard. As you can see the material needs to be elastic to be functional.

And we've seen the few metal parts break during uncontrollable yoma power usage with Priscilla and Undine.

Also the males didn't have "proper" armor either.

There's obviously a few key differences like the lack of a cape, wide pants, covered knees and their neck is covered a bit more, but the fact that their vital organs are exposed still stands. I do wish that the author gave them the same type of armor as the women though (like the anime alluded it to being).

And also there's Raki's armor which is meant is meant to resemble the one male warriors wore. Although he does have a bit more coverage it's still not enough to be considered a proper armor, especially not with how tight his shirt it (an indicator of how thin it is).

The only people in this entire manga with proper armor are the soldiers in Rabona, but that doesn't help them much considering how easily the awakened beings rip through it.

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless  of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with  the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it  or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have  wips.  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it  counts!!
