Story
Elizabeth is a mysterious alien creature gifted to Kotaro Katsura by Tatsuma Sakamoto. Appearing as a giant white duck or penguin-like entity with hairy legs visible beneath the costume, Elizabeth rarely speaks, instead communicating through wooden placards. Despite the absurd appearance, Elizabeth is a highly capable combatant and a key member of the Joui faction. Throughout the series, multiple versions of Elizabeth are hinted at, most notably the Renho race, a group of mercenaries planning to conquer Earth. Elizabeth's true identity is often treated as a meta-joke, sometimes portrayed as a middle-aged man in a suit, often implied to be the anime's director. Despite the mystery, Elizabeth remains fiercely loyal to Katsura, participating in various high-stakes battles and comedic escapades alike. The character serves as both a mascot and a formidable warrior, blending surreal humor with genuine emotional depth during serious story arcs.
