Read a doujinshi today where Kotetsu visits Barnaby’s extremely haunted (for some reason) apartment and gets possessed by like four separate ghosts that Barnaby has to help cross over because they’re actively draining the life from Kotetsu but Kotetsu’s body literally throws Bunny for trying to bonk the spirit out of his body. Because they were calling out for help. They wanted help Bunny. And helping people is so ingrained in him that his body will move even as his spirit sleeps.

It also featured the black bead bracelet around Kotetsu’s wrist breaking (as well as him being the only one who could sense the bad mojo) so Now i’m going to be thinking about little Kotetsu getting possess this way to sunday as a kid and just. Not realizing it. Muramasa and his Mother just having to Constantly help out these wayward spirits. “Moooooom Kotetsu got possessed by another hungry cat!” Finally finding that black bracelet and having the possessions stop.

Kotetsu who’s only awareness of the fact he was possessed was being extra tired and not remembering bits of time: Sweet bracelet.

Tomoe broke it once and had to deal with 3 wayward souls and once she was done she fixed the bracelet and made him PROMISE to never take it off again. I love you honey. If you turn into one more dog and start licking me I’m going to start buying wards for the house and taping them to your back.

Kotetsu will has no idea this happens. But man is he good at entering haunted places, blacking out and then finding them feeling Not haunted when he wakes up. He just can’t stop reaching out his hand to those in need.
