East-most town in western region of Lautrec. In vicinity of Toulouse border. After crossing border, Clare calls it "the nearest town in the west".[1]
History[]
"Lacroa" was first mentioned by Rimuto.[2]
Called "Lacroix" in VIZ translation.
This is the locale where Clare, Cynthia and Yuma accidentally run across a search party from the Organization, knock them unconscious, and then kill an Awakened Being, which tries to escape as a Flying Yoma-like creature. But in the end, the three are discovered by Rubel.[1]
Egged on by Rubel's story of Rafaela and Renee being captured by Riful, the three ex-Claymores journey to Riful's Second Hideout, north of Ticheri.
Behind the Scenes[]
- "Lacroix," French for "the cross," may refer to the cross-shaped geological formation Clare, Cynthia and Yuma see before traveling over the Toulouse border.
- "Lacroix" may also allude to French Romantic painter, Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863); considering the possibility that the names of the cities "Toulouse" and "Lautrec" may derive from the French Post-Impressionist painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrex (1864-1901).
- The VIZ edition of Scene 83 has Rubel incorrectly referring the town as "Rabona."
- "ラクロア" is transliterated as "Lacroix," pronounced in Japanese as "lac-er-roy."
