To get to know him better, below is information about interesting facts about Genya Shinazugawa!

Meaning of the name Genya

Dalam bahasa Jepang, kanji ‘Shinazugawa’ artinya keabadian dan sungai. Di Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, memiliki kekuatan yang berasal dari tubuh iblis, dimana ia bisa memakan tubuh iblis.

When he fought Kokushibo, both of his hands were cut off and mutilated so he had to be beheaded so he could die.

Bad Relationship with Sanemi Shinazugawa

There is a sad story of these two brothers which led them to decide to become Demon Slayers.

Interestingly, Genya Shinazugawa and Sanemi Shinazugawa's mother was turned into a demon. Sanemi himself managed to protect Genya and kill the demon.

Until in the end, Sanemi Shinazugawa decided to become a Demon Slayer, as did Genya Shinazugawa.

However, Sanemi Shinazugawa doesn't seem to like it when his younger brother follows him to become a Demon Slayer.

Oleh karena itu, Sanemi Shinazugawa membuat Genya Shinazugawa kehilangan rasa percaya dirinya dengan berkata ‘lemah’.

In fact, Sanemi Shinazugawa didn't mean it like that, but he just wanted his sister to stay safe.

Can't Use Breathing Techniques

The Demon Slayers are skilled in breathing techniques. This technique is a sword technique used by members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Therefore, users must regulate their breathing to increase oxygen in their blood.

Unlike other Demon Slayers, Genya Shinazugawa cannot use this breathing technique so he must master other, more useful techniques.

Repetitive Action

Even though he couldn't use breathing techniques, Genya Shinazugawa was able to master the Repetitive Action technique taught by Gyomei Himejima as his mentor.

By mastering this technique, he was able to pronounce words that could help his mind stay focused and minimize pain.

In using this Repetitive Action technique, he chose to apply the Amida Sutra prayer.

Nichirin Shotgun His Main Weapon

He uses weapons that suit his skills, namely a pistol and a Nichirin shotgun.

The shotgun is very special, its bullets are made of Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore to kill demons without swords from close or long range.

Apart from that, he still has a Nichirin sword, namely the short Wakizashi.

Turning Into a Devil

He is able to transform into a Demon by devouring the body parts of living demons.

Not only did his body shape and form change, but his demon blood arts also changed.

Unfortunately, this ability is very limited so Genya Shinazugawa must make the best of it.

Developing His Demon Blood Art

During the final battle against the Upper Moon Demon, he had eaten the limbs of Zohakuten (Hantengu's strongest form) the Upper Rank 4 and Upper Rank 1, Kokushibo.

Therefore, he managed to gain strength, speed and reconnect his severed limbs.

In addition, he managed to develop his demon blood art when facing Kokushibo. He was able to reconnect his demon body cells with bullets and his Nichirin shotgun.

The meat bullets he created can be manipulated by him and stick to Kokushibo's body so that the bullets are transformed into roots that will suck the demon blood and prevent him from activating the demon blood art.

Slashed by Kokushibo

Genya Shinazugawa was one of the Demon Slayers who died first in the final battle against the demons.

He was killed after Kokushibo, the Rank 1 Upper Moon Demon, was defeated by him.

Previously, he had also been slashed by Kokushibo. However, because the Upper Rank 1 demon cells were still active in his body, he did not completely die.

His Personality Changes

When he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, he was very rude, unfriendly, a loner and only focused on killing demons.

However, as the story progresses, he begins to open up, communicating with his colleagues and being able to respect his fellow members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Gyomei Himejima's Adopted Son

Gyomei Himejima adopted Genya Shinazugawa as his stepson. He wanted to train and make Genya a Tsugoko.

However, due to his weakness in not being able to use breathing techniques, Gyomei Himejima trained him with other techniques to give him great skills.

His Meat Bullets Have Extraordinary Abilities

After he ate the cells of Upper Demon 1 and 4, Genya Shinazugawa's cells could be combined with the solar steel bullet.

He can manipulate the bullet after being fired from the Meat Gun. After the bullet enters the body, it will become a tree that can kill its target.

Through the Meat Bullet, he can suck the blood of the Devil and prevent the activation of the target's abilities.

Have the Demon Slayer Mark

After he consumed the cells of two High Ranking Demons, Genya developed the Demon Slayer Mark which appeared when fighting Kokushibo.

His Demon Slayer Mark takes the form of a burning fire to help him fight demons.
