Changes: Elizabeth

Revision as of 02:06, 25 November 2016

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

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 occassions. Apparently, the members of the Jouishishi consider Elizabeth like a high rank member of the joui, in fact, he is like Katsura's right hand.

It was later revealed that there are two Elizabeth in the series that accompanies Katsura.

In episode 173, Katsura was accompanied with Russian Elizabeth instead.

Background

Monday Elizabeth
This Elizabeth's real name is General Eren of the Renho race, a race of mercenaries specialized in covert operations, and he, along with many Renho, act as pets for numerous Earthlings in order to prepare Earth for an invasion. It's very likely that this Elizabeth was given to Katsura by Sakamoto Tatsuma since he was the one who brought all the Renho to earth.
Eren replaces regular Elizabeth on Monday, Eren would watch televison with Katsura and reinact commerical songs. Eren plays Uno with Katsura a lot, although he's bad at it. Eren would let Katsura win a few times.
Eren was in a relationship with Fumiko before she defected the Renho. It is possible that eren's actions will be attributed to the normal elizabeth, who is currently the only elizabeth, later in the series because the writer may forget the joke, as such the joke and the "monday elizabeth" in its entirety may become non-canon.

Eren Elizabeth has accompanied Katsura, shown in Eren and Katsura flashback in Renho arc:

- First introduction into the series.
- Building snow scupltures.

Normal Elizabeth
Not much is known for regular Elizabeth but he accompanies Katsura on Tuesday to Sunday. It was confirmed by Katsura that this Elizabeth was the one that participated in the Benizakura arc.
When Katsura and Elizabeth had argued and fallen out, Katsura found out that he has a wife and a kid. When X-Rayed, there was a fat old man inside.
In the anime the human in Elizabeth is often joked to actually be Takamatsu Shinji the director of the Gintama anime, although this is most likely not canon.

Appearance

He is a large duck or penguin-like Amanto with a dull expression, although at certain times it is shown to actually be a Humanoid in a costume.

All the Renho, of which Elizabeth is a member, are in costume almost all the time. The Humanoid inside it is depicted as a dark skinned, sweaty man with hairy legs and glowing pink eyes, but as the director the Human has glasses but continues to have glowing eyes. Later on having grown a short beard and having bloodshot eyes on its costume, maybe from reworking its costume by itself.

Katsura takes great pride in Elizabeth often considering it a truly charming and sophisticated pet unlike the Yorozuya's violent mascot Sadaharu, who Katsura often considers as inferior in comparison to his Elizabeth, he has even gone so far as to appear on a live TV pet show just to prove that Elizabeth is the better pet even though doing this might have put him at risk of being captured by the Shinsengumi.

However at the end of the arc it's revealed that Eren-Elizabeth is simply the sub Elizabeth that fills in on Mondays and when the normal Elizabeth is on vacation (which apparently included the entire invasion attempt). Katsura is aware of this and is excited to see that the normal Elizabeth is back and says goodbye to the Monday Elizabeth and apologizes to him for him not getting to appear in the Benizakura arc.

Trivia

Elizabeth is also a talented painter.
Eren Elizabeth is voiced by Tōru Furuya who is famous for the role of Amuro Ray.
In the Soul Switch Arc, Tohru Furuya did not voiced Kagura in Elizabeth's body, who instead voiced by her voice actor Rie Kugimiya, who also voiced Katsura in Kagura's body. This could be because he was not the Monday Elizabeth a.k.a. General Eren, whom Furuya did voice, but is instead the regular Elizabeth.
Elizabeth shares the same birthday as Queen Elizabeth I (Sept. 7), hinting that Elizabeth was probably named after the queen.
