My godness finally I see Raki back on track!! I was waiting so much for this :P He looks a badass now. I'm on the side that he's still a normal human. I imagine that he's been training a lot with Easley in these 7 years lapse, who is a great warrior and could have taught him a lot (he commited to doing so back in the day). Plus he's been on his side which means he probably has been fighting yomas and what not.
By what Raki says while talking to the little girl seems that he's already used to it and knows what he's doing, so I don't think it's his first time fighting these creatures. Not so sure about what some guys say that he maybe has fought against AB's, I don't think so at all. If it was the case, then he must not be full human.
To be honest, I always thought that the only way for Raki to become somewhat useful and to be able to protect Clare like he was always saying when he was a kid, it was necessary that he became another Claymore created by the Org. But I don't think this is possible if he's been in Easley's side for the past 7 years.
About the little girl, I have a trouble guessing who she is, at the first glance I don't think it's Priscilla, because that girl on Raki's shoulder is REALLY small. Or maybe Priscilla could somehow shrugged to its infancy. But at the same time, I don't get the sense on Priscilla traveling with Raki to find Clare and so where's Easley?? Curious note is the little girl can detect Yomas.
Can't wait till he meets with Clare, want to see her reaction, specially. =)
In the other hand, it was nice to see the Ghost crew taking a break from the breathtaking story from Miria. Specially Helen who got drunk so easily lol Denev being calm like always. Also it was nice to see the young soldiers of Rabona talking with Clare.
On another note, looks like Galatea will not be following the crew and will follow Miria's instructions of protecting the new desertors Clarice and Miata in Rabona? Not sure they both will stay but who knows. Still don't know how did the meeting with the Father went. Guess will know later.
And as I thought, Miria's assumptions didn't come out of nowhere, she has someone who sides with her and has told him secret information about the Org. I will venture to say it's Rubel. Back when Clarice told the Org. about the 7 missing swords on the North and that they got helped by someone, when the cusp rejected the idea of the old claymores surviving, Rubel told to himself something like he would doubt Miria would not do anything knowing they were cannon fodder in that battle. And he didn't say anything to the others, he just left smiling. So I don't discard that option.
