North, South, East, West. In both mangas, there are four big shot bad guys that dominate each of the four sides of the globe, and they all act independent of each other. There is also one organization whose primary focus is to take down these big shot bad guys, as well as their loyal yet powerful subordinates, and protect the ordinary people at the same time. In Claymore, the bad guys are Yoma. In Witch Hunter, the bad guys are witches. Also, both mangas seem to make a significance in gender in that it is relevant to the premise of power. In Witch Hunter, obviously, only women become witches. Similarly, in Claymore, generally only women can become claymore. Claymore are also known as the "Silver Eyed Witches". Although this is a vague comparison, it does imply certain gender limitations on the male side, primarily in that men cannot directly use the witches' power. In either case, both claymore and witches are regarded as a stigma in society and are shunned by normal people.
