I think it is a body part or some sort of flesh.
Most likely, it is nothing. We would be able to see the stuff underneath their skin tight outfits.
In this manner, the author has created a plot hole. The only thing it could be, at this point, is some sort of skin discoloration: not something that physically deformed the plane of the skin.
So, no, we will never see it.
Well it did seem like a bit of a written error. Personally I though it'd be like an ugly scar or something. I doubt Raki would've been that grossed out if it was skin discoloration: he should've seen worse at this point.
It was nice to see him act all big brotherly around the trainees and shrimp twins.
Which reminds me...why can't Madhouse pick this up again as an anime?

I'm also suprised that none of those awakened beings even made a comment about chomping on Raki.
Why would they? Raki is in a group of single digits that literally can take on awakened beings and abyssal ones. Sure, they could eventually overrun their group, but they would lose quite a few of their members in the process. Also, the "good guys" seemed un-bothered by their presence so it is possible that I am overestimating the awakened beings abilities. Perhaps I need to rethink: they (just 3 of 7 Ghosts) did seamlessly slaughter several awakened beings that were giving a group (which contained a single digit) of claymore severe trouble. So, perhaps it would not have turned out too great for them if they all attacked: a single one of their group could take on several and win it would seem.

Well Isley should've had over half under his comand and I doubt that the other male awakened beings would've survived very long as awakened beings.
I'm not saying they would attack Raki but I just find it funny how none of them even made mention of how Raki was a human in the bunch. Considering how awakened beings are almost always hungry and a good number of them complain when they can't eat humans, I find it stunning how Raki is just ignored from the most part. Sure they wouldn't risk attacking the ghost since they have somewhat of an awareness of their capabilities: Miria in particular could solo a good portion of them abeit with difficulty. Overall I'm just shocked at how the awakened beings shown have such a tame appetite.

They seem to know WTF is up. They seemed to be able to sense as well as any of the sensors in Miria's group. So they probably knew that munching on Raki was a bad idea.
Additionally, a human that seems to have fought by their side may be a poor choice. Raki has shown to have superhuman abilities. Those monsters can also smell the 'battles' and experience. Priscilla was able to smell Theresa on Raki...as weird as that is. They know, man, that Raki ain't no slouch against Awakened-level beings. Keep in mind that he fought quite a few of those rod beings that were tough for even awakened being slayers to take on.
As I pointed out earlier in this thread, Raki is at least a single digit level equivalent. He lacks sensing, for sure, but he's superhuman, no doubt.
Raki never fought any rod beings, did he? I think it was just Prissy. was Prissy. Definitely no awakeneds aside from the Twins. He's mostly only fought normal Yoma, I think.

Yea. They came for curiosity and they likely aren't all that friendly with each other, and this is a strong group. Miria is the level of a high-end number 1, meaning those two guys- a 4 and 6 (albeit ones that have high-class power)- are probably outmatched by her.
They're a dangerous group, but the rebels are as well.
It's interesting to see other composed awakeneds aside from the Abyssals and Dauf and Rigaldo. I'd suspect the stronger really do have higher self control.

We weren't shown it but he was found on his knees, out of breath, sword right on the ground next to him, and all of the rod beings were dead or ceased functioning.

Interesting observation.

A bit later we saw a flashback of what happened with him and Prissy. I'm pretty sure he never fought them/did any killing of any awakened level foe.

I am confused. Your comment does not make sense to me. Are you saying that all the other rod beings are dead around Raki because he's resisting the rods in him (that's what you statement reads to me because you said "yeah" and quoted that portion of my post).

I do not know what you were going to say here but his sword was right on the ground, to his right hand, as though he just dropped it there. Those tiny rods indicate that he did not dodge the big rod creature fast enough when he sliced it in half or sliced off a limb (the rod beings shoot out small ones when sliced). He also has damage to his head: he's bleeding from his head. Seems like he had quite the battle.
I just assume he was gotten by those little rod beings because he cannot sense youki. Even some claymore, who could sense it very well, got hit. So there was no hope for him to know that those things shoot out (a build of up youki, no doubt, would indicate to a seasoned warrior that it was about to fire...I assume that this was how the 7 Ghosts (3 of them) were able to anticipate and dodge them from the get-go).

What we say was the aftermath right as everything was done. We did not actually see what happened. Actually, what we did see was about 30 seconds to a minute right before the Organization people got to Raki.
