A Brief Introduction To The Plot
The story of the show revolves around a world where humans are preyed upon by Yoma. However, the deadliness of Yoma lies in the fact that they are “shapeshifters”, because of which they can easily blend in and deceive people.
Therefore, in order to fight the Yoma, the organization creates female warriors who are Human-Yoma Hybrid named “Claymore”. These warriors have only one task to find and kill the Yoma. However, the power of both claymore and Yoma originate from the demon energy named “Yoki”. When a claymore uses too much of Yoki, they are awakened. These Claymores are clad in silver armor with silver eyes and are distributed into the island according to their ranks.
Each rank covers one part of an island, making 47 claymores, with rank 1 being the most powerful of claymore and rank 47 being the weakest. The story of the show revolves around Claymore no. 47 Clare and her adventures.
