The bamboo merchants in The Great Panda City swear Kamanosuke's scorched back isn't from battle, but from the single worst sales pitch in the history of the realms. As the legend goes, they saw the Underworld not as a threat, but as an untapped market. Dressed in their finest shirt and tie, they journeyed down to sell Inferuno a revolutionary new service: artisanal firewood delivery. The presentation reportedly went poorly. The ancient fire entity was not interested in subscription boxes. Kamanosuke was shown the exit via a blast of soul-searing flame, which left the embers still clinging to their back. They returned not defeated, but invigorated, claiming it was merely a "heated negotiation."
