Why I Love Claire Stanfield

This post is about Baccano 1935-B so there will be spoilers ahead. It is currently being translated by Roasted Tea if you would like to read it and show your appreciation.

So in the most recent update in the novel Claire is tested by Huey and made to fight eight members of the Lamia. He chooses to split them up and have some of them fight on his team so that some of them can win. They obviously don’t agree to fight for him, but the way the fight plays out is just fucking hilarious. These are direct quotes from the translation.

Claire had chosen four of the Lamia to be on his side.

Of course, those four attacked Claire as well, but he skillfully dodged them and only counterattacked the four he had chosen as his enemies.

 He wasn’t just not attacking those he had chosen as allies, he was conscientiously protecting them as real comrades.

The redhead hummed as he stepped lightly along the sidewalk. His breath formed in clouds in the brisk autumn air. He turned a corner, walking down a flight of stairs to stand before a door.

Without warning, he creaked the door open. “Hey, Luck! I got a...”His verbal meandering paused before it even began at the site of an empty speakeasy, except for the sight of a familiar blond head.

“Hey, Tick! Uh... Is any of the Gandors in here?”

Excerpt from 1935-B about Claire Stanfield

Salome was now sure that the human subject before his eyes was completely different than any of the unusual beings he’d ever met.

A perfect human. The words sounded cheap even to him as they floated across the researcher’s mind, but he couldn’t dismiss it out of hand as an erroneous delusion, either. But, he couldn’t help but confer what exactly it was about him that separated him from a normal human. Christopher is my masterpiece. The ones here are also inferior in terms of basic physical strength and reflexes. But…a human fighting eight of them…no, he surpasses even that accomplishment by further imposing special conditions on himself. Impossible–he destroys the very definition of “humanity!”

TV Tropes ~Claire Stanfield~ “Professional Killer/Sociopathic Hero”

[best-of-baccano]

That’s impossible… what kind of eyesight would it take to do something like that? Is he… Is he really human? Christopher realized that he was sweating heavily. “Truly… the strongest human on the planet…” “Aww, you’re embarrassing me.” Christopher fell silent for a moment, then smirked. It looked like he was laughing at himself. “You truly are blessed by God.” “God doesn’t exist in this world. He’s only in my head. To you, he’s in yours. You get what I mean?” Vino said quietly, and something that looked to Christopher like anger began to seep into his eyes. “You know what really pisses me off? It’s when people think that my power is some sorta miracle, or a gift from God. D’you really think that I just sat there and had this strength handed to me on a silver platter?” His grip tightened, slowly blocking off Christopher’s airway. “I call up the God in my mind and make him do what I say. That’s what’s called effort. I do that every day, every week, every month, every year. That’s all. So. You admit defeat, right?”

If Claire, Firo, Graham, Ladd, and Christopher were in a boyband managed by Maiza, what would the name of that boyband be?

[seifukat]

who’s lead singer?

[hrh-gwen]

It’s a boy band so they all sing, but Claire is the heartthrob, Ladd is the bad boy, Graham is the cute one, Chris is the relatable one and Firo is the shy one. I was thinking of going with “Valentines Massacre”
