The most uncanny thing in this anime is how Raki got attached to Priscilla so fast, she didn't even do anything, just hugged him

I've always loved the fact that a big part of Claymore has to do with childhood trauma. Like even though the warriors become extremely powerful beings, the things that happened to them in childhood are oftentimes the things that keep them from moving on.
Ophelia forcing her comrades to become awakened beings so she could kill them is her reliving the time Priscilla killed her brother in front of her eyes and she was powerless to stop it. So she takes it upon herself to prove that she's not weak anymore and no matter how fucked up that is, it's also extremely sad.
Clare's emotionally shut off after Teresa dies to the point that she doesn't understand that she's grown attached to her friends and life itself. Before that, during her period with Teresa, she actually started to recover from the things that happened to her in her early childhood. She starts talking again and enjoying her life, but it all goes to shit when Priscilla shows up. In her training days (and when we first meet her in the manga) she mostly isolates herself from others and puts on a cold demeanor as a defense mechanism. It's no surprise that it all comes crashing down on her in the final battle considering the amount of time she spent suppressing emotions.
Miata is still a kid but has moments where she regresses even further back to the point where she has to pretend to breastfeed to be stable mentally.
Priscilla might be the best example of it though. She actively forced herself to forget the terrible thing that happened in her childhood. She has, in her own words, "fought countless opponents and been swallowed up by unfathomable things and taken a blade to herself" all in order to try and escape her own hatred for the thing she did as a child as an act of survival. She actively searches for someone powerful enough to end her existence and even makes young girls "invisible" to her in hope that one day they'll become the warrior who could kill her.

Falcon and Unicorn
Since all the glory of the crossover goes to Guts and Clare, I wanted to give the 15 mins to the nemeses
Also, this is one of the few moments I root for Priscilla
