English Dub Review: Rooster Fighter “The Parable of the Three Birds”

Overview

The character Elizabeth challenges the protagonist Keiji to a fight, revealing crucial information about the White Demon. It is a high-stakes action scene focusing on rivalry and revealing hidden truths.

Our Take

This week’s episode of Rooster Fighter gives us the origin story of a one-time flame of Keiji’s, Elizabeth, and how she quickly goes from foe to friend joining our hero’s growing flock of chicks looking to kick ass. We also get a bunch more info, and another origin story if you will, of Keiji’s sister Sara and how she may be working with the antagonist of the series, the White Demon himself aka Gakuma.

Those looking for big ass battles with demon Kaiju, this week’s episode isn’t a great example of that and is kind of a hybrid origin/filler episode that continues to lay the ground work of what Keiji is looking for and the inclusion of another new ally. That said, I quite like the team building aspects of this show and the uniqueness each character is bringing to the series, even if it is paint by numbers world-building.

Expect to see more examples of this in the coming weeks, but I’m still excited to see where more of Rooster Fighter develops its characters for what will be a vicious cock fight as we progress through the freshman season.
