So..
Outside of this island, there is a bigger "land" where humans are engaged in a war. One of the two dominant powers have allied themselves with dragons, which give them the major advantage in battle. In order to win this war, the other of the two major powers initiated the creation of a "weapon," manufactured monsters, AKA the Awakened Beings. To test out and perfect this project, the Organization was established, and sent to the "lab" to start their research. Although the Org's objective seemed to be the annihilation of yomas for the sake of the populace, their true, underlying ulterior motive is to create the ultimate weapon to use in the war back in the mainland. - Alicia/Beth is the successful result of their experiment.
This brings rise to a lot of questions.
What need is there for the Claymore system? Why would they need to intentionally create yomas and have the Claymore hunt them down? (They continue to create 'normal' Claymore warriors, even after the soul-linking prototype had been made.) Maybe they are training the Claymore for war, as well? Or maybe yomas are failed test rats? (How are yomas even created?) & How are the Claymore swords created? lol
I'm curious to what Clarice/Miata/Galatea will do. (If they join the 7, it would be harder for the group to stay hidden, because of their yoki.) Also wondering what's going on Raki. I hope he'll make his appearance soon!
I was not expecting this big of a bombshell. It's surprising how Miria found out so much without actually having been outside this experimental field. It's also surprising that she kept this secret withheld for such a long period of time. (Thinking back now, I think Teresa knew about this secret.) Though I agree that some of it seems incongruous, I like the annex of plots! Looking forward to the progression :)
