*** It seems that [[spoiler:the wound only disappears if one fully Awakens, if one's body awakens and then manages to go back with Human consciousness intact then the wound stays where it is, and the stitches aren't affected by the transformation either. Both Jean and Miata had their body transformed and came back, both of their wounds didn't heal (we can't be sure in Jean's case but it's likely considering Miata) and their stitches didn't need to be repaired (again, as Miata's case shows)]]. The two cases are coherent with each other but the fact that [[spoiler:the stitches aren't affected by body transformation]] doesn't make really sense, the story seems to be telling us to just accept it.

* In chapter 50 Rubel makes a comment on how in this land the slavers send the young girls in the East (where the Organization has its headquarter, all but implying that the Organization itself has a role in slave trading) and the boys in the North, now why would the Organization, or anyone, want to send the boys to the North? [[spoiler:Well, obviously, the Organization is sending the boys in the North so that ''they can turn them into Awakened beings''. In chapter 112 we find out that the Organization has a facility hidden in the Northern mountains where men are brought to be transformed into half-Yoma creatures, like the Claymores, but unlike the Claymores these men aren't trained to be warriors, once transformed they are abandoned where the Organization want them to be and, because they're men, they will soon awaken being unable to control their Yoma Power. The Organization has continued to transform men into half-Yoma with the aim of producing Awakened beings, as men Awaken far too easily, and Rubel's dialogue in that early chapter was foreshadowing this reveal!]]

** There are also other scenes that make more sense when you know about the Claymores' true appearance. When Ophelia forces her hand into Clare's clothing and then comes out bloodied [[spoiler:she has clearly just stuck her fingers into Clare's frontal wound to taste her innards, who smelled like Awakened being according to her]]. In the previous battle between Miria's squad and an Awakened being instead, when the Awakened being tortures Miria and he's... well... [[AccidentalInnuendo sticking his tongue into her]] [[spoiler:you can see it moving over where Miria's wound should be, obviously the male Awakened being is hitting in that place because that is where a Claymore would feel more pain]].

* Miria warned her friends that a huge gap of power existed between her, Number 6, and the top five Warriors. At first this seems to be part of Miria's cautious nature but as the series unfolds, we learn that she really was not kidding. None of their numbers are actually reflective of their degree of strength. In theory they have an Abyssal One, her handler, two people who can equal a Number 1 in power and a Number 2 equivalent.
** Alice and Beth (Numbers 1 and 2) are an experimental type of Warrior that is meant to fight as an Awakened Being. How strong they are compared to conventional Warriors is never mentioned but as Awakened Beings, their power is head and shoulders above what a conventional Warrior can achieve without Awakening herself.
** Galatea (Number 3) is the strongest conventional Warrior. Absent of experiments like Alica and Beth, she is actually a Number 1 in terms of power and it shows.
** Ophelia (Number 4) is not only psychotic but incredibly powerful. Like Galatea, she is actually as strong as a Number 2.

** That is likely the same for all partially awakened Claymores, since they were worried about Claire coming back in that state rather than the state she was in before.

* FrdigeHorror: As stated above, Dae hypothesized that the Claymore's power derives from their hated towards the Yoma flesh in their bodies. Teresa was the most powerful Number One of all generations of Claymore, and if she ever awakened would make all other Awakened Beings - including the Abyssal Ones and Priscilla - she would make them all look like specks of dusts. Her backstory is that she was sold to the Organization by the people she trusted in the past. If Priscilla's anger and madness turned her into what she is now, just how much rage was boiling up inside Teresa all those years?

* FridgeBrilliance: Dae's theory that the Claymores' power is derived from their hatred towards the yoma flesh in their bodies offers another reason Clare was ranked dead last. Clare loved Teresa, the donor of her Claymore flesh. Clare doesn't have any real problem with carrying a piece of Teresa inside her, so there's no internal conflict to empower her.

** This doubles with the initial contradiction that Claymore were created solely to fight Yoma yet their awakened forms are about a hundred times more dangerous.

** It has been said that Awakening [[spoiler:heals the wound, in fact it's the only thing that does so.]] So it makes sense that having Awakened once already, Jean [[spoiler:wouldn't have a wound anymore.]]

* FridgeLogic: When Clare first helped Jean transform back from a fully awakened body to her human body in chapter 47, how the HECK did she avoid [[spoiler:her guts falling out of her now untreated and open stomach wound]]? Although at the time we couldn't see her naked front clearly enough to see what the deformation on a Claymore's body was, when we saw her awakened form we could clearly see a complete lack of [[spoiler:stitches running up from her crotch to her throat]]. So how did that work, did the [[spoiler:stitches]] just vanish while she was transformed and return magically intact when she returned to normal, or did acquiring an awakened body somehow cure her of [[spoiler:her unhealing wound]]?

* FridgeHorror from Chapter 129. [[spoiler: Claymores have their guts held in by a line of stitches. Now think about it. A trainee is going to be constantly needing those stitches redone as they grow, and their going to constantly be popping and streaching.

around volume 9 i remembered a conversation Rubel had with Clare and Jean where he mentioned that it was common knowledge that orphaned boys go to the north and orphaned girls go to the east. while the girls were obvious, the boys made no sense, since the official position is that they stopped using male warriors. by the time of the Claymore Rebellion i realized that this was fridge brilliance because it turns out the Organization was still making male half-breeds. this also explains why there were so many male awakened beings around despite Clare's generation being so far later in time

** It's not quite that bad. While Claymore are needed to hunt, i.e. find, Yoma, actually killing yoma can be done with conventional tropes. So if you do get lucky, and/or just wipe out everyone in a town to be sure of getting the yoma, you have your first Claymore material!

* This started out as a bit of FridgeLogic for {{Claymore}} and then became absolutely brilliant. I kept wondering how the Claymores could exist at all. If Claymores are people with yoma flesh and blood in them but Claymores are the only ones who can hunt Yoma, then how did they get the first Claymores? Plus, how did they figure out this would even work? It wasn't until later that I realized, that wasn't FridgeLogic it was foreshadowing!

The fact that they couldn't have gotten Claymores without Claymores was a logic puzzle that was a hint to the organization's more sinister machinations.]]--@/WindWeaver19
