- Silver-eyed Slayer arc:
Cold open[]
In the desert, Raki's stomach growls from hunger. In response Clare throws her sword backward.[7]
Oasis[]
Dinner[]
The sword kills a lizard many meters away.[8]
That night at an oasis, Raki roasts the lizard over a campfire. But Clare only take a few bites. Being a Claymore warrior, she needs little food. She leaves camp, warning Raki not to follow.[9]
Rubel[]
In the forest, she meets Rubel, who brings a new shirt and leggings to replace the ones damaged by the Awakened Claymore.[10]
Rubel examines Clare's wound. He alludes to Clare's stigma, asking what would Raki think if he sees it.[11]
He warns Clare not to get too attached to Raki. Before leaving, he gives her a new assignment—a black card.[12]
Elena's black card
She recognizes the symbol's owner.[13]
Mount Shire[]
Rendezvous with death[]
The next day they reach Mount Shire. When Raki asks why they are here, Clare explains the black card system. When a warrior can no longer control awakening, and is in danger of becoming a Yoma, she sends her black card to someone she trusts to euthanize her, so she can die human.[14]
Elena[]
They finally meet Elena, Clare's best friend during their school days.[15]
Despite Raki's protests, Clare attacks a passive Elena, delivering a fatal slash. A dying Elena thanks Clare for letting her die a human. Later, Clare buries Elena, using Elena's Claymore sword as her grave-mark.[16]
Additional details[]
Notes[]
- During the Silver-eyed Slayer arc, the concept of Claymore warriors becoming awakened beings has yet to be developed
- Elena physically resembles "Kiyomi Kaburagi,"[17] a photographer in Norihiro Yagi's earlier series, Angel Densetsu. But her personality greatly differs from Elena
- In the anime, Raki meets Rubel at a local inn[18]
