[[WMG:The "enemies" in the war are ''the good guys''.]]
The side that the Claymores are on by default seems to have no problem whatsoever with conducting horrific experiments on little girls, terrorizing an entire island full of people by creating monsters that eat them alive, keeping those people ignorant to the truth of their own existence, extorting them for large sums of money to "protect" them from the monsters that ''the Organization created'', and just generally creating their own CrapsackWorld with no moral qualms whatsoever. It seems to have been assumed that the other side are the bad guys solely because they're on the opposing side, but seriously, "our" side? Not exactly the best example of humanity. Alternatively...

[[WMG: The entire planet is a CrapsackWorld.]]
And both sides are equally amoral in the pursuit of victory, so really, it doesn't matter who wins. Everyone loses. Alternatively alternatively...

[[WMG:[[JustForFun The problem of the war is easily solved]].]]
Teresa's basically a PhysicalGod. Just send her over to the mainland, PassThePopcorn, and [[CurbstompBattle enjoy the show]].

[[WMG:There will be a sequel/spin-off series.]]
Regarding the war on the mainland. It just has too much potential as a story to be ignored; I can't imagine that Norihiro Yagi doesn't plan on going anywhere with it.

* Confirmed! Clare has just used a variant of the Soul Link (normally requiring 2 people) with the bitz of Teresa inside her to recreate the latter completely. It looks like it's not reversible either; Clare is still in there as a "cute little voice" in Teresa's head.

* Clarice catches a nurmal human tossed several metres higher than Agatha's platform onto her forearms, with <10% youki, giving very little way. Since she's significantly weaker than early story Clare and then several shown normal Youma, she's not that much beyond maximum plausible human strength, if at all. At that level [[LordOfTheRings one does]] [[MemeticMutation not simply]] catch a grown man out of such a fal and hold him like a baby. Also suspect: said grown man's spine and femurs are able to withstand this without even any sign of pain. By that token he would've been fine just to fall onto the cobbles directly.

* Teresa and other Claymores and Awakened Beings are able to fall great distances on their feet/claws/etc. with no incident. They have SuperStrength and are MadeOfIron, but why don't they damage the ground? And when they do, why don't they damage it a LOT more? When [[Film/TheAvengers Thor]] escapes the Hulk Cage, we get a good example of what that kind of movement does to the soil. His [[TheBigGuy size]] and [[FlyingBrick feats of strength]] are probably superior to anything even Priscilla can do, but not by that much.

* Awakened Hysteria and Europa at least are able to move quickly by anchoring into hard soil/cobbled streets/man made buildings with quite shallow claw grips. This suggests that they weigh so little they can force themselves into extremely high speed movement, possibly close to the sound barrier, without the anchored substances, which are definitely not able to stand that kind of stress in RealLife.

[[WMG: Claymore's world is a lower gravity planet than Earth.]]
Purestrain humans are consistently shown exhibiting clearly superhuman physical feats, but only those that have undergone physical training. The logical, [[OccamsRazor simplest]] explanation is that the gravity on their world is lower. Untrained humans wouldn't display anything special since their bones, muscles and muscle memory are adapted to that world, but those who undergo extensive PT try to push the boundaries of what they can do, and find those limits more permissive because everything, including their weapons and bodies, weighs less than it would in RealLife.
* Labona soldiers have been shown to posess jumping abilities well in excess of what even modern olympic athletes can do (without a pole), most prominently jumping what looks like 5+ metres up onto Agatha's platform (though that one ended badly for them).

* Raki is also seen wielding a {{BFS}} at several times the speed he should be able to, even with his build, and taking snipes at the laws of physics in general, even before he gets his own bit of Youki.
* Teresa and other Claymores and Awakened Beings are able to fall great distances on their feet/claws/etc. with no incident.

[[WMG: Awakened Being tissue (except [[SpecialSnowflakeSyndrome Priscilla]]) has extremely low density, even considering the above.]]
* Miata is able to pull convincingly at Agatha with a one layer wall of large bricks or cut stone for support. For some reason dry mortar is able to withstand this, despite being rather easily defeated by a normal human with a sledgehammer.
* Earlier, Agatha supports herself in SpiderTank form with the tips of her legs embedded in several buildings, causing minimal damage ([[BloodierAndGorier to the buildings]]).
* Many giant awakened beings (Isley, Riful, Europa, Agatha, Octavia etc) have huge bodies and their hooves/claws/ribbons have very little earth contact area. The pressure they exert should cause them to sink into soft ground.
* Awakened Roxanne is able to stand.
* Europa can alternate between breaking through a fortified wall (presumably by breaking it up with claws before the main body comes through) and bouncing or anchoring on much weaker structures to speed herself up/change direction rapidly. These much weaker structures are easily destroyed by Claymores who are so weak in comparison to her that they can only slow her down by annoying her into trying o kill them.
* Awakened Hysteria and Europa at least are able to move quickly by anchoring into hard soil/cobbled streets/man made buildings with quite shallow claw grips. This suggests that they weigh so little they can force themselves into extremely high speed movement, possibly close to the sound barrier, without the anchored substances, which are definitely not able to stand that kind of stress in RealLife.

[[WMG: Awakened Beings can convet internally between energy and mass both ways, even considering the above.]]
They can consume amounts of matter which should immediately manifest as bulges somewhere and regenerate themselves to an extent that even Wolverine can only surpass by not having a weak point that needs to stay in one piece. They can shift between forms of vastly different size.
*[[SpecialSnowflakeSyndrome Priscilla]] is able to consume hundreds if not thousands of thime her own volume in human entrails without showing the slightest bulge on her [[HollywoodThin very flat tummy]] (or the slightest dent in her [[HorrorHunger ape]]t[[BigEaterite]]), and is the best regenerator.

So we all know how she killed her dad after she caught him eating the rest of her family. In the most recent chapter, we see how the village had decided to figure out who the youma was. And then Dae mentions how Priscilla had a unique past. Since Priscilla was apparently the youngest and there was no telling when her dad was infected, she could have been conceived after he changed, which might have bolstered her abilities as a Claymore. The only thing that goes against this guess is that youma are supposedly infertile.

Dae [[spoiler: can revive fallen unawakened Claymores]]. Out of the powerful unawakened Claymores he tried to enumerate, he named Teresa. He likely had her body retrieved after being beheaded by Priscilla (he is head of the Retriever Squad). Now, Teresa didn't want Clare to live a warrior's life, just a normal one, so [[spoiler: once resurrected]] she'll definitely be mad, since what she fought and died for would have been in vain. Also, anime opening.
