You are completely right, the anime writers lacked the imagination that the mangaka had. I couldn't even make myself finish watching the series, it was beyond frustrating.

I expected from reading the manga that it wouldn't sound so high. I think episode 20 will be the best. My favorite part in the manga is almost here yay. i don’t like flora’s voice.

AT least one of our half awakened dies. The ones I see most likely to die are jean and miria. Jean because she doesn't hold much value on her own life and will probably do something drastic to save Claire. Miria might die because it would be the biggest surprise next to Claire dying. Of our new faces I doubt either will live. Undine and Flora seem like they were made to be cool but not to last. I think about half or less of the mooky Claymores die.

In the next episode a single digit Claymore duels with Clare and results on being par with Clare's strongest point->her arm. But then again we know Claymores usually like to hide their specialties (especially Clare). ***SPOILER and BEYOND ended*** There is something that has me confused which probably wont be shown until the next episode…

That may mean that the right arm is, in fact, several times stronger than the rest of her body.

But taking Illena's arm doesn't mean that her right arm is stronger. In fact, remember the fight with Orphelia? She couldn't perfectly control the arm as it wasn't hers to start. Anyway, Ilena's flash sword is definitely 10 times stronger if not more. Remember when Orphelia tried to strike Ilena? they can't even see her moving her arm, as if she's just standing there. Even Orphelia didn't know what/how. Ah haha!! But taking Illena’s arm doesn’t mean that her right arm is stronger. In fact, remember the fight with Orphelia?

She has the least amount of all the Claymores and by now you should all know why. She's 1/4 of a youma only. The reason why she is stronger that her ranking has to do with the techniques that she is learning, and the fact that she took Ilena's arm. Remember Ilena's youki power made her rank what was it 2? As for the Numbers 1 and 2 girls, Alicia and Beth, I guess that is their names I forgot, that was explained later on in the manga. Now I'm not sure if the anime will get to it, but lets be clear, they are clearly the strongest in the organization. It gets explained why in the manga, and it makes sense. So just bare with that for now ^_^ Flora’s special move gets explained in the following episodes.

Drawing, striking, and resheathing her blade all in one supremely fast motion. The quick sword is an explosion of power that attacks madly. Both are speed techniques, but they come at it from different directions. Flora’s windcutter seems more like an iaijutsu style move.

It seems that it's either that or a dimmed-down version. While I’m at it, is Flora’s technique the same as the flash sword? It seems that it’s either that or a dimmed-down version.

I agree with psgels. It probably takes some formal procedures (or something of that sort). Furthermore, as seen in previous episodes, the organization plans to hunt and take down Clare. So what's the point of changing her number? :p With Clare’s ability to control her flash sword and abnormally strong mind, I bet now she’s even better than Helen and/or Deneve (don’t forget that Clare used a hint of Galatea’s ability to turn Jeane back to human form as well).

The past few episodes showed that Claymore often take their numbers seriously, and I can imagine that it takes some formal procedures to change the number of one of the Claymore. At least, that seems to explain why Priscilla didn't immediately become number one after Teresa abandoned the organization, and why Ophelia's place hasn't been filled up yet.

In that case, people will assume that One and Two are even stronger, and that they have an "ace in the hole", and also the chances of losing Number One and causing panic are alot less. Although, when you look at it, if they're ever forced to trot out Number One in this case, that'd be a problem.
