Kusujirou

On the day they were supposed to be buried, Kusujirou simply stood up and walked back toward the purple-hued sky of The Great Panda City. Their final duel with Kanetoshi had been a spectacle, a clash of rivals that ended with Kusujirou's last breath. But something refused to let go. They returned not as a ghost, but as a walking corpse fueled by the cold memory of dishonor. The Panda Council, stunned into inaction, declared them an outcast but did not banish them. Now, Kusujirou walks the bamboo-lined streets wearing the war paint of a life sworn to vengeance and a ridiculous meow cap from a festival long past. The cane steadies their gait, and every growl is a promise that their rivalry is far from over.
