Katsuomaru

Katsuomaru is one of the players trapped in Elder Tale and a member of Smash's PK party.

The Battle of Loka
After being trapped in the MMORPG Elder Tale, Smash forms a party with Rikopin, Stroganopp, Smash and two others and the group decides to ambush players outside of Akihabara.

At one time, the group ambushes an Enchanter named Shiroe and a Guardian named Naotsugu. Confident with their ability to win, the group engages the duo in battle. While Smash and Katsuomaru fights Naotsugu, Rikopin charges at Shiroe but is unable to approach due to Shiroe's Astral Bind. Smash orders her to change with him but the two are caught in Naotsugu's Anchor Howl alongside Katsuomaru. Forced to attack, the trio focuses their attacks on Naotsugu instead. Shiroe then casts a Thorn Bind Hostage spell on Katsuomaru, leading to his defeat, sending Katsuomaru to the Cathedral.

Determination
After reuniting with his partymates, Katsuomaru had a difficult time trying to cope with the changes around Aki as the group could not hunt monsters or PK anyone within the bigger guilds' zones, leaving them in depression.
