Hey Mama, what's for dinner tonight?

Hmm, let's see...

Since Dad won't be home,

Let's get some yakitori from Torishige?

Really?! Yay!

Then I want...

Gizzard and cheek, and neck, and esophagus, and chicken tail!

Your palate is something else.

You take after your father.

Wait! Also their chicken offal stew!

How old are you, really?

What is it?

A Demon?

It's a Demon!

Boy...

My...

Boy...

Where are you? - Help!

My boy!

Mama!

Yuki!

I found you!

Mama!

Yuki!

Mama!

My...boy!

Mine...all mine!

Yuki!

Yuki!

Give him back. My boy...

That's enough of you Demons having your way.

Where is...the boy?

Where are you, boy?

All of you... - Boy?

...are going down!

This...

Is the story of how one rooster...

...saved humanity.

ONE YEAR AGO

Wait!

Are you leaving?!

I was born to wander. Peace and quiet doesn't suit me.

Were you just toying with me?

No...

I just gave in to my animal instincts

EPISODE ONE: A ROOSTER AMONG CRANES

Delicious!

The savory aroma and the perfect amount of bitterness.

Nothing like stink bugs for breakfast.

Also...

They're great for digestion and promote healthy bowel movements.

Delicious and good for your health.

Truly two birds with one stone!

Oh, a chicken! - Oh, a chicken!

His comb is so cute!

Do you think it's a stray chicken?

Where did you come from?

Probably the zoo?

That would be funny! - I hate kids.

They're rude, stubborn and loud.

Hey, do you want some?

It's fried chicken! It's good!

Is she for real?

What a cool find!

Stop it, you're hurting the poor thing!

Shut up, you brat!

Let's go.

Yeah.

Whoa, his comb's so cool.

You're still brats too!

That's right!

What should we do with him?

I wanna eat him.

You idiot, what if he's got some weird disease?

You're right.

How about we feed him to my cat?

Oh, good idea!

Whoa!

Wait!

Hey, wait!

Don't waste my time, you little punks!

Stop, dang it!

They just won't quit!

Hold it!

What's going on?

That rooster's ours.

Huh?

Well, that's odd...

That rooster lives here with me...

What?!

Mr. Cluckers!

How many times have I told you not to leave the yard?!

Mr...Cluckers?!

Sorry, we'll be more careful in the future.

Let's get out of here!

You saved my feathers, Old Man.

Do you think that chicken really belongs to the old man?

You idiot, of course he's lying!!

That old geezer! - My quota...

Think he's gonna gonna eat him all by himself? - My quota.

This month for sure,

I'll definitely...

Meet my quota!

My quota!

Much obliged, Old Man.

But I've got things to take care of.

I'm so sorry. This is all I can give you.

Brown rice, corn and shiso leaves?

Old man...

This is undeniably a special and bountiful feast!

Is it good? I'm glad you like it.

My wife would always feed the sparrows

that would come and visit as well...

Looking back...

I should have retired from teaching sooner,

and spent more time with her.

Come on now, don't fight.

Don't eat too fast, now.

Sorry for rambling.

For some reason I feel like I can talk to you about anything.

I understand, Old Man.

I should've spent more time with them as well.

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

Emergency evacuation alert. A Demon has appeared

Evacuate the area immediately.

This month, I will meet my quota!

Help! - Help!

It's those brats from earlier!

Hiroshi!

Ow!

Quota...

Hurry, run!

...achieved!

Old Man!

A recall?

Now's our chance! Come on!

Hey you!

What do you think you're doing to those kids and old people?

It really makes my crown curl!

I achieved my quota!

You're going down!!!

Special edition model!

Hybrid vehicle!

Ko...

Sales report!

What just happened?

Is it possible?

It might have been the phenomena known as resonance.

R-Resonance?

You've seen it on TV and in the movies, haven't you?

Where people shatter glass with just their voice?

Wow!

If I'm not mistaken, resonance occurs...

...when the frequency of one's voice

matches the wavelength of an object.

But could such a phenomenon be powerful enough

to defeat a monster of that size?!

That rooster...

Who is he?!

There's no mark.

It wasn't this one, after all.

Whew...

This is bad!

Your yard's destroyed, Old Man!

Are you saying you want to help clean?

Is anyone hurt?

Please be careful!

Injured, coming through!

Are there anymore garbage bags?

Yes, we still have more.

There we go!

Phew, we're done!

You know, defeating Demons, helping us clean...

...you're one hell of a rooster!

Huh? Where did he go?

Huh?

Mr. Cluckers...

MAX CLEARANCE 2.4 METERS

Mr. Cluckers...

...is not my name.

It's Keiji.

I'm a born wanderer.

It's time I left this town.

Old Man, I hope I've paid you back for the feast.

I've defeated the Demon.

And...

I cleaned up the mess I made in your yard.

I leave no unfinished business behind.

That's how I roll.

Now then...

Are you leaving?!

Leaving a woman crying isn't my style.

Sorry for the wait. I'm back.

The next town awaits me.

Hey, look!

Check this out!

Gross!

Flasher!

Now that I have your attention...

No one wants to see...

your dirty body!

THUNDERBIRD

THUNDERBIRD Thunderbird!!

Disgusting.
