Description

Kotaro was bullied and harassed when he was a young earnest and frail fellow. Kotaro endured those days with a smile on his face, but one night, he got fed up with himself and ran away from his home. A man dressed in Bankara style called out Kotaro who wandering crying with nowhere to go. "If you're a Man, don't cry in public. Live strong". Impressed by that man's dazzling apperance, Kotaro decided to become a "Banchou" like that man.

CRIT%1.0
He has a CRIT UP for Axe allies and a big MAX HP UP passive for Armor allies.
He has very good stats, very very bulky, pretty good ATK but in exchange he has one of the worst SPD stat ever, forcing to always be last most times.
His DB can reduce enemy rage gauge and gainq Counter for 3 turns, which has no limit.
His PW grants allies with an ATK UP and he gains an infinite Substitute, in the best case scenario he can trigger many counter thanks to his kit and bulkiness.
He will forever stay a premier option for Gram Soul Forge 15 clears, not only he can tank all but he also grants very good defensive passives to allies.
His DB also grants allies, for some reason, a small 2 turn Skill Damage Boost, when he is always the last one, does anyone really profit by a small buff like this especially one of the more common ones sadly.
The Counter + Substitute combo is rarely used anymore, so he is usally a tank with good stats but no real team utility outside his passives
due to old he is as an unit he has many replacements options nowadays just because they are either faster (Vastre), or provide more than he does (Fire Patrossi and Luigg), this is slightly nitpicky since he is such an old unit and still doing quite good.
Overall, while being one of the older permamnent units, Kotaro still holds his place decently with a mix of strong stats, CRIT UP passive and mixed utility, he mostlt just aged compared to more modern releases, his SPD doesn't favor any role flexibility as it does for Vastre.
Note that if a future content really needs a tank that's still useful (not Karaha) then he might be a better pick than aforementionned units, it's simply a matter of "if they can survive with their lower bulk, then im not really better" especially since contents are way shoter nowadays so the bulkiness is often secondary.
