Etymology[]
覚醒者[11] first mention by Ilena. Translated as "awakened one"[12] by VIZ Media.
覚醒者 translated as "awakened being" first appears in Scene 25, when Rubel explains the term to Clare.[13]
覚醒者 can also be translated as "those aroused." May allude to sexual ecstasy or arousal.
Appearance[]
Human[]
When awakened male warriors revert to human form, they appear as men in their 20–30s, such as Isley, Rigaldo and Dauf.
Human forms of awakened females can range from “tweens” such as Riful or Priscilla, to a woman in her 20–30s such as Agatha.
Awakened[]
Unlike most Yoma, the appearance of awakened beings vary widely. The art styles used to depict them range from Expressionist to Cubist. Individual awakened, such as the Destroyer or Hysteria, can metamorphose through several stages.
Awakened have the following forms:
Datasheet[]
Class[]
All known awakened are offensive type warriors, their innate abilities unknown beyond general description. Exceptions would be Alicia and Beth, special type warriors (Yoma War Record III).
Defensive type awakened have yet to be described in Claymore series. Non-Claymore awakened are of unknown quality.
Difference in Power
Awakened beings are far beyond Yoma. Baselines are of much higher magnitude than Claymore warriors (Yoma War Record II, III). Former rank is crucial for level of power after awakening. High-ranking warriors evolved into a more powerful awakend being than those with lower rank. To suppress this powerful beings, a hunting-squad of four warriors must include at least one single digit warrior. Awakened former no. 1s, however, are unmeasurable powerful, regarded by the oragnization as Yoma-entities beyond awakened beings, known as Abyssal Ones.
History[]
Rabona[]
Rubel reveals to Clare that outside the Organization, awakened beings are called "Voracious Eaters"—alleged long-lived Yoma of extreme power and appetite. But this is disinformation meant for the public. He further reveals that awakened beings are former Claymore warriors.[14]
Paburo hunt[]
In Paburo Mountains, Miria repeats similar allegations, adding that male awakened beings are all former Claymore warriors. But Paburo awakened Being says Miria is making a "major mistake."[15]
Witch's Maw[]
Clare learns about Abyssal Ones—former No. 1 Claymore warriors, whose form and abilities are similar to those of lesser awakened beings and Yoma, but are vastly more powerful—strong enough to control an entire quadrant of the Island world of Claymore.[16]
Miria's theory[]
After the engagement with Agatha, the Ghosts, Galatea, Clarice and Miata hear Miria's theory. Miria speculates that the island is a test site for controlled, awakened being experiments.
Miria concludes the Organization, ostensibly a charity, is a cover for a military-intelligence, bio-warfare operation, using island to isolate its experiments from mainland.[17]
Sutafu[]
Anastasia's hunt confront a group of male, non-Claymores, who escaped from a Yoma-making facility.[18] They awaken, but are destroyed by the Ghosts and Dietrich.[19]
Later, as the warriors discuss the current situation, Deneve recalls the Paburo awakened saying Miria was mistaken. The mistake could be Miria believing that the Organization stopped making male awakened beings.[20]
