English Dub Review: Berserk of Gluttony “Roxy’s Inspection”

Overview:

Rumors of scores of slaughtered monsters start to circulate throughout the capital, drawing the attention of the holy knights. Fate gets conscripted to participate in a secret mission with Roxy and finds himself going to unexpected lengths to complete it.

Our Take:

I’m trying to wrap my head around why Roxy went through all the trouble of hiding who she was to go into town when she revealed it as no problem moments later. Now I understand that someone was sexually harassing her so she felt she had to push the guy away using her Holy Knight strength but earlier Fate was almost attacked while trying to hide her identity, just felt like odd timing. Why was one situation okay and the other wasn’t? To be clear I don’t mind that she revealed herself but every other instance before that was met with a lot of inner turmoil by Fate whereas the final situation wasn’t.

It’s also mind-boggling to me how dense some anime protagonists can be. Fate had a flashback to when a Holy Knight saved him when he was younger by feeding him. That Holy Knight had short blonde hair and the same eye color as Roxy. Do you see where I’m going with this? It was Roxy, just with shorter hair. I’ll never understand how characters don’t figure that out, it did make the age gap between them look a little more concerning but it was a flashback that didn’t last long.
