Paburo Hunting Party

Definition

History

The iconic bonding event in the Claymore series.

While maternal bonding events occur in Claymore (Teresa and Clare, Clare and Raki), the Paburo Hunting Party shows four very individualistic, morose Claymores forced to overcome their differences as they struggle to survive an Awakened Being (manga Scene 26, anime Scene 9).

Upon the initial, overwhelming attack by the Awakened Being (a former male Claymore), Miria suspects the Organization of sending the party on a suicide mission. The party only survives due to their unrealized Awakened yoki.

After the Awakened Being is killed, the four Claymores compare notes and discover that each of them is a partially Awakened Being, plus being viewed by the Organization as a troublemaker.

The now four fast friends touch sword points and vow to survive and meet again (manga Scene 31, anime Scene 11).

All four remeet in the Northern Campaign.
