Description[]
The 7-year period between the end of Battle of the North and the Claymore survivors' journey south.
History[]
Seven survivors[]
The timeskip begins with battle group survivors arising from the ruins of Pieta, a village in the northern region of Alfons.[3]
Miria is shown being lifted by her comrades. She grieves when she realizes that only seven warriors survived, 17 warriors being killed by the Northern Army.[4]
The seven survivors are Miria, Cynthia, Deneve, Helen, Tabitha, Yuma and Clare. Referred to as "ghosts" by Rachel.[5]
What transpired[]
The seven survivors desert the Organization. They hide from the Organization's Eyes by suppressing their Yoma auras. Unknown if their suppression is related to either Full Yoma Energy Suppression or Yoma Energy Control Technique.
The group follows Miria's original plan to destroy the Organization. The Ghosts practice their abilities and techniques using only their agility, strength and sensing baselines. They do not use yoma power. These techniques fall into two categories:
1. Old techniques without Yoma power:
- Twin Sword (Deneve)
- Drill Sword (Helen—Jean's version used 56–76% power)
- Windcutter (Clare—Flora's version used 1–36% Yoma power)
2. New non-Yoma power versions of old techniques:
- New Phantom (Miria—old Phantom used 60–high-70% power)
The Ghosts replicate Teresa's tactic of fighting with skill alone, holding one's Yoma energy in reserve.
During this period of intense training, Clare searches the deserted villages of Alfons for Raki.
7-years later[]
In a ruined village attacked by Priscilla, Clare discovers an underground slave prison. As she and Yuma explore the prision, Clare finds a drawing on the wall of one of the cells. It is the twin goddesses Teresa and Clare, an outline of the statue in Hamel. Clare realizes Raki was here.[6]
Later in their cavern hideout, Clare makes known her intent to leave Alfons and go south to find Raki. Miria has a sparring match with Clare.[7]
Satisfied that Clare can handle most single-digit warriors, Miria resigns as captain of the Ghosts. She will join Clare in the journey south.[8] But everyone decides to go en masse.[9]

I'm an enthusiast with a deep understanding of the Claymore manga series, particularly the storyline involving the 7-year timeskip after the Battle of the North and the journey of the Claymore survivors southward. My knowledge spans key events, characters, and the intricacies of the plot during this period.
The 7-year timeskip is a crucial phase in the Claymore series, marking the aftermath of the defeat of the Organization in Pieta. The survivors, referred to as the "Ghosts," include Miria, Cynthia, Deneve, Helen, Tabitha, Yuma, and Clare. This small group emerges from the ruins of Pieta, with Miria leading them.
During this period, the Ghosts decide to desert the Organization, adopting a strategy of suppressing their Yoma auras to remain hidden from the Organization's Eyes. They follow Miria's plan to destroy the Organization, focusing on honing their skills without relying on Yoma power. The techniques they develop fall into two categories: old techniques without Yoma power and new non-Yoma power versions of old techniques.
The Ghosts, including Clare, replicate Teresa's tactic of fighting with skill alone, reserving their Yoma energy. The training involves intense practice of their abilities and techniques, relying solely on agility, strength, and sensing baselines. Clare, during this period, searches for Raki in the deserted villages of Alfons.
In the later stages of the timeskip, Clare discovers an underground slave prison in a ruined village attacked by Priscilla. While exploring the prison with Yuma, Clare finds a drawing on the wall that indicates Raki was there.
The conclusion of the timeskip sees Clare expressing her intent to leave Alfons and go south to find Raki. Miria, impressed with Clare's abilities, resigns as the captain of the Ghosts and decides to join Clare on the journey south. The group, as a whole, decides to go en masse.
This information is derived from various scenes (chapters) in the Claymore manga, with references citing specific volumes and scenes for verification. The depth of my knowledge extends to the nuances of the characters' actions, the evolution of their abilities, and the overarching narrative during this 7-year timeskip in the Claymore series.
