EPISODE 3
THE PARABLE OF THE THREE BIRDS
Prepare yourself, Keiji
What's that?
Chickens?
I don't remember doing anything
to you that merits my execution
Even if you don't,
I do!
What was that?
It's on fire!
Looks like you've got something
dangerous there.
My Thunder baton is charged with
10 million volts of raw power.
I made this especially for
turning you into roast chicken!
That's impressive,
but why do you hate me so much?
You've really forgotten
But I will never forget that day.
Ever.
Right after I hatched,
I was adopted by a wealthy family.
Papa and Mama were always kind.
- So cute!
They both showered me with love.
THE TALES OF MOMOTARO
- THANK YOU
- I learned all sort of tricks
- Wow, you're so good at that!
- just to put smiles on their faces.
- My, how wonderful!
Oh! How's that?
- Do your best, you two!
I had a happy life,
without any inconvenience or want
But somewhere deep down,
I felt like something was missing.
Then one day
Un, deux, trois!
Let me dance!!
Kokekkoko!
Are you hurt?
In that instant, I fell in love.
Afterward
We walked along the beach,
and you told me
stories of your travels.
I'm Elizabeth.
What a beautiful name.
Your stories were so exciting
and everything felt so fresh.
And that night
To the sound of the waves,
we made love.
Oh, Keiji!
This is what I was missing!
The chance to love somebody!
But you had a different idea
What?!
Where are you going?!
The next town is waiting for me.
But we were falling in love, right?
So, why?
Love? I don't think so
I just gave into
my animal instincts.
Be well.
It's been 6 months
since you stomped
on my heart and left.
I will never forgive you.
I-Is this woman
Mister's ex-girlfriend?
Wait, are you telling me
that you're angry
because I left you after
a one-night stand?
I'm gonna kill you!
Stop while you still can.
You're gonna get hurt.
Shut up!
Breaking a young girl's heart
is a sin punishable by death!
You're good.
Don't run away, you scumbag!
Whoa!
What?!
Mister, don't run away!
Show her who's boss!
Watch it!
Oh!
No you don't!
Thunder Machine Gun!
Oh, Keiji!
What?!
What are you doing, you monster?!
You never intended to kill me.
Over there, officer!
Let's get out of here!
Hey, they ran off!
I swore I'd kill him
when I found him
This just proves
I still have lingering feelings!
Hey you!
You kissed my man, didn't you?!
You man thief!!
"Your man"?!
Don't tell me you've laid
your hands on this child?!
Don't be crazy,
I'd never do something like that.
Liar! You have no self-control
when it comes to women!
What?! I'm acting like
I still have feelings for him.
I still haven't forgiven you!
Don't flatter yourself.
I didn't start my journey
just to chase you.
I have a goal of my own.
A goal?
I'm going to exterminate
the Demons.
After you disappeared,
I saw what they did to my town.
It was truly horrible.
My good friends, Yuki the dog,
and Lola the cat.
were lost along with many others.
Demons are still appearing
all across the country.
People are losing their families
and friends just like me.
All these people around the world
shouldn't have to suffer.
That's why I'm going to exterminate
the demons.
I'm not interested.
I just want to avenge my sister.
Later.
Hey
The one you want to take down
do you know where it is?
You're looking for a Demon with
a marking on its neck, right?
You know?!
Ever since then,
I've been researching Demons.
What's this machine?
A useful tool humans use.
Since the first Demon sighting
three years ago,
over 800 have been confirmed.
They are characterized by
their tendency to destroy cities
and indiscriminately attacking humans.
They've been observed lacking
intelligence and complex behaviors.
Their bodies are mostly
red or blue.
However, recently the Demons
Have been changing.
Variants have started to appear.
Variants?
Variants displaying human-like
emotions and intellect.
Their personality and biology
are all over the place.
More bass!
- Some attack humans.
Some are peaceful.
Water!
- Got it!
There are some
who even help humans.
Their bodies seem to
come in all colors
like yellow, green, and purple.
Maybe that one was
a variant as well
This is the one I want to show you.
This footage is circulating online.
This one
This is the first confirmed Demon with
four horns or a white body.
They're calling it
the "White Demon" online.
Th-That bird is!
Big Brother
Sarah?
Look at his neck.
Mister, please calm down!
Where are you going?
I need some time alone.
Sarah, was that really you?
Damn it!
I don't know what's going on
It's fine.
The key to everything lies
with that son of a bitch.
I'm going to finish you,
no matter what.
Is it really here?
I'm pooped!
Hold on.
I'll look it up again!
There it is!
A natural hot spring.
Yay! A hot spring!
Thank goodness there are no humans.
Amazing!
So, this is a hot spring?
It's amazing! Yup!
They say the water here
is good for injuries.
The sooner you heal up,
the sooner you'll be ready to
take on the next Demon, right?
That's what I said
I actually just wanted to take a dip!
What's wrong?
The depth
I'm worried about how deep it is.
Huh?!
Are you afraid of water?
Are you gonna sink like an stone?
That's so unexpectedly uncool!
Lower your voice!
What does "sink like a stone" mean?
Oh! Are those wild strawberries
over there?
Don't change the subject!
This is like a dream!
Then let me ask you this.
Why would animals who live on land
need to know how to swim?
If you think about it, birds are—
Oops, sorry my leg slipped.
Help me!
I'm gonna die!
The water's pretty nice.
Make sure you submerge yourself
up to your neck.
What's this?
It's a cold towel.
We chickens use our crowns
to regulate body heat.
So, if we cool our crowns,
we won't overheat as quickly.
Humans do this too.
This is paradise.
This is paradise.
Ahhhow long has it been since
I've taken a proper bath?
Before my travels
It was my daily routine
to sip Romanee-Conti
while enjoying a view of the ocean.
Once all the Demons are defeated,
I want to celebrate with a glass
of Romanee-Conti in the bath.
Ahh!
Nope! You're too close!
- Uh, wait?!
Move over there!
Mister!
Oh, yeah!
Hey, Mister
I still don't have a proper name.
I'd like it if you'd give me one.
Then how about
Piyoko?
- How thoughtless!
I like it!
- You like it?!
You know that name will follow you
into adulthood?!
It's the name he gave me
and I will cherish it!
DUTY
So, why do you have "duty" written
on your back?
DUTY
All right, well
You gave me a towel,
so I'll tell you a special story
in exchange.
- My Pops wrote it for me.
- DUTY
- He wanted me to help those in need.
Eat up and grow strong, you got it?
Pops!
Pops!!
I've decided that
I want to follow you, after all, Mister!
She seems very conflicted.
Hmm? "Follow you"?
That's not what this is about!
Because I'm never forgiving him!
Oh, Mister!
- EKAWA HOT SPRINGS
- You got stubborn and stayed
in the hot water too long.
Huh?
A monster!!
So, you've shown yourself, Demon!
I hate monsters!
It's me. Elizabeth.
What happened?
Did you fall in the river?
Huh?
How rude.
It's a mud bath.
MUD BATHS
It said online, the mud here
is good for your skin.
Even hens want to look nice.
Seriously.
You don't understand women at all.
Keiji.
What's on your mind?
The White Demon
you showed me yesterday
I've been trying to
remember it calmly.
I have a feeling
he's a bit different
from the one in my memory.
That Phoenix too
At first I thought it was Sarah,
somehow, but
there's probably no connection.
What? Your sister?
No way!
Because
it was on fire.
Ready or not, here I come!
I'm ready!
Over here, Big Brother!
Sarah!!
Big Brother?
- Are you okay?
Big Brother!
In front of you!
Please stop!
So that's what happened
But, like I said before,
I have no proof
he's the one I'm looking for.
The fact that variants have
begun to appear
most likely means
the Demons are evolving.
If that White Demon is some
evolved form
.it would make sense that
its appearance is different.
Also
Isn't that mark on its neck
undeniable proof?
Anyway, we should track down
the White Demon!
Finding him will lead to answers.
So, about the plan
Let's see here
The White Demon appeared in
a place called Tokyo,
300 kilometers northeast from here.
- Elizabeth
It will take some time
Huh?
Where's Piyoko?
That's strange
She was sleeping right here
Where did she go?
Mister! Please help me!!
I'm gonna get eaten!
The village was located at the bottom
an ominous valley.
The zombie-like villagers were
being controlled.
That was where we!

Homing in on Desire
Keiji! What are you doing?
You pervert!
