I learned many things from the man with whom I fought with back-to-back. That's why I have no regrets. There is something that I must protect. Even if it means destroying Earth. Even if it means fighting against him. A true friend will always protect a friend's back. That is what I learned from my friend on Earth.

Elizabeth
Qotd


Elizabeth (エリザベス) is Katsura's unusual pet Amanto and a member of the Jouishishi. It is always by Katsura's side and has become inseparable as Katsura's sidekick. Fiercely loyal to Katsura, it has saved him on numerous occasions. Apparently, the members of the Jouishishi consider Elizabeth a high-ranked member of the Joui; in fact, he is like Katsura's right hand.

Trivia[]

  • Elizabeth is also a talented painter.
  • Eren Elizabeth is voiced by Tōru Furuya who is famous for the role of Furuya Rei/Amuro Tōru from Detective Conan.
  • In the Soul Switch Arc, Tōru Furuya did not voice Kagura in Elizabeth's body, who was instead voiced by her voice actor, Rie Kugimiya, who also voiced Katsura in Kagura's body. This could be because he was not Monday Elizabeth a.k.a. General Eren, whom Furuya did the voice, but is instead the regular Elizabeth.
