Claymore (Kureimoa) (2007) s01e01 Episode Script

This is horrible Another one?! That makes six dead now.
There's no doubt about it; there's a Yoma among us! Yoma: In the Claymore world, the term for a demon.
So, what are we supposed to do? We can't tell Yoma apart from us once they disguise themselves as humans.
Yeah, yeah! How about we just grab everyone we find suspicious Like who? I-I don't You're trying to say I'm suspicious for being alive when my wife got eaten by a Yoma, right?! I-I didn't say that Yeah, you're suspicious indeed.
Kenneth, who got eaten today, lives right across the street from you.
What did you say?! Stop it! What good is it if we argue amongst ourselves? I don't want that! I don't want my guts eaten alive by a Yoma! Calm down! I received a reply this morning.
It appears they're willing to come to this village.
What's coming? A Claymore.
A Claymore A Claymore? Are you serious, Chief? We have to ask for their help? There's no other choice.
At this rate, the village will be completely annihilated if we don't take action.
But they're I know! But they're the only ones that can tell Yoma apart from us once Yoma have disguised themselves as humans.
But, Chief! Brother.
Raki.
How did the meeting go? Ah, it seems the chief has called for a Claymore.
Claymore? Yeah.
They can tell Yoma in human form apart from us and are the only ones that can fight them in this world.
Amazing people like that exist? They're not "people".
Claymores are half-human, half-Yoma beings.
Half-human, half-Yoma Over here! Where? The Claymore's here! H-Hey, Raki! Huh? A girl? What, you didn't know? Claymores are all women.
Ah, her eyes are silver.
Yeah, that's why we call them "silver-eyed witches".
They say their eyes turn gold when they fight Yoma.
She's scary.
She won't target us, as well, I hope.
They're half-human, half-Yoma after all.
Why did the chief have to ask for one of them? There's no choice.
Only monsters can kill monsters.
Y-You idiot! Don't say such careless things.
What are you going to do if she gets pissed and kills us, as well? Sh-Shut up.
Th-This is the payment for the job.
Please have a look.
No need.
Once the job is completed, there will be someone who will come and collect it.
Just give the money then.
Afterwards? If I fail and die, then you won't have to pay.
O-Okay.
And how do things look? Will you be able to pick out the Yoma right away? It depends on the target.
If he completely suppresses his Yoki, then it will be quite hard.
Yoki: The aura a Yoma emits.
Either my corpse or the Yoma's will show up in the town some day.
Of that, there is no doubt.
Dear! That's a Claymore I thought they'd be more human, but that's just like a Yoma! Come with me! What? I just followed you a bit.
Wait.
You're a Claymore, right? No.
Our organization possesses no name.
You people just decided to address us in that manner.
Ah, I see.
But, I'm so surprised.
You're just like a normal big sister.
I thought you'd be scarier and stuff.
Are you not scared of me? Why? You're no different from us.
H-Hey! Wait up! How far do you plan on going? That's already the exit.
The village only extends this far? Yeah.
After that, there's just a mine outside.
What are you doing? Taking a nap.
I've been walking for three straight days.
Why do you take interest in me? Because you're a Claymore.
I told you.
You people gave us that name.
Ah, yeah.
Anyway, you'll take care of the Yoma, right? The first people killed in this village were my parents.
When I came to, only me and my brother had survived.
I was right there, yet I couldn't do anything.
You're someone that can defeat them for me.
Don't misunderstand.
I only came because there was a request.
It's not my intention to avenge you.
I know But that's fine.
I need to go make supper.
We're staying at someone else's place, so we need to carry our weight there.
I'm good at cooking though, so it really doesn't bother me.
I'll treat you next time.
Bye! Oh, my name is Raki.
What's your name? There's no need to tell you, for you'll soon enough forget the name.
Sorry, Uncle! I'll start cooking right away.
You're back, Raki.
B-Brother! Uncle's- Yeah, it was delicious.
Our uncle's guts, that is.
Bro ther? Well? You never noticed, right? I took your brother and his brain back then.
That's why I have his memories and know his behavior patterns.
This is the reason why you foolish humans can't distinguish us.
I planned on staying in this village a bit longer, but of all people, you actually called for those witches.
I've decided to eat you before leaving.
I've been holding myself back, as to not eat a delicious one like you.
He's crying now.
Looks like this body's memories are crying for you.
What touching sibling love! What a fool! We've been eating humans since long ago.
We're the absolute superior predators.
Prey should know better than to resist.
Why you There was the scent of Yoma about this boy, so I followed him, knowing you'd be close by.
Why you! Wait! Spare me! Please! S-Spare- To take care of business on the same day, praise be to these silver-eyed witches.
And she immediately left the village.
Yes.
It seems she has her next job set already.
Now, the remaining problem is Don't hate us, Raki.
We have no choice because he might turn into a Yoma and assault villagers next.
This place is Oh, you're up? You almost died out there, but you were lucky and got rescued.
Umm, where am I? The inn in the town of Egon.
You were asleep for a whole day, you know? Why did you run into the wild? because he might turn into a Yoma and assault villagers next Well, it's fine.
You're hungry, right? Eat up, eat up.
Eat up and cheer up.
Ah, but I don't have any money Ah, you've been paid for in advance already, so don't worry.
Paid for in advance? By a silver-eyed witch.
A Claymore brought you to this place.
I never thought those witches would be saving people.
Where is she now?! She left right away because she had a job to do.
Are you not scared of me? for you'll soon enough forget the name Spare me! I Hey, you.
It seems a Claymore was looking for you.
Where? Ahh, the forest behind the town.
Th-Thank you! There she is! Are you alone? Y-Yes It wasn't her.
I I heard you rescued me.
Ah, don't worry.
But, you even paid for the inn for a complete stranger like me It was out of goodwill.
We, Claymores, had kind hearts originally.
And I took a liking to you No! You're not a Claymore! Claymores don't call themselves "Claymore"! Really? Is that so? I'll remember that from now on! What a sharp kid! But I have the advantage now that I have you.
Come out now! I know you've been following.
You got a request, right? To kill me, right? Oh, don't take another step.
I know your speed.
Take another step and I'll tear this kid's head off right away! First, I'll have you throw that sword away.
Do you think hostages work against us? No, I didn't until yesterday that is.
I changed my thinking when I saw you tenderly carry this kid into town.
This kid could serve as my hostage.
They say you're half-Yoma, but Claymores were once human, too.
The memories of when you were human don't disappear.
Right? For example, you had a younger brother, and this kid resembles him stuff like that? How about it? Not too far from the truth, right? Come on, make a move.
If you can kill us both, then try it! Happy now? You really threw it away! What a fool! Well? Does it hurt? Even Claymores will die if I punch through their guts! Hey, you all right? Are you okay? I'm sorry! Because of me- Don't misunderstand.
I didn't throw my sword away for you.
If I had tried to slay both of you there, he'd have probably killed you and escaped first.
I prevented him from running away and created a chance that ensured his death.
Even so, you still saved me.
You defeated the Yoma that ate my parents.
I was so scared when my parents were killed, but I just pretended I wasn't.
Thank you! I really mean it! Really I'll never forget about you.
I just wanted to say that.
Were you thrown out by the village? No No I'm not a Yoma You said you were good at cooking.
Yeah Very well.
You may come with me as my cook.
Do you want to come with me until you find a town you want to stay in? Okay! Oh, yeah.
Your name Hey, Sister! Tell me your name! Hey! It's Clare.
