Genya Shinazugawa
The two were so badly injured that it was a miracle they could even stand, yet they still supported each other as they moved forward. Inosuke Hashibira wept uncontrollably after learning the truth about his mother, and Kanao Tsuyuri had been holding back her tears, finally let them flow when Inosuke Hashibira said, "Shinobu looks a lot like my mother." Inosuke Hashibira made Kanao Tsuyuri wear Shinobu's hair clip, signifying that the final demon hunter would bring his family along. The two vowed to defeat Muzan.
He reunited with Zenitsu and Murata on the way. Just before the Infinity Castle collapsed, he felt a violent tremor and burst out of the ground along with the crumbling Infinity Castle. During the battle between the Pillars and Muzan, he, Inosuke Hashibira, Zenitsu used Yushiro's Blood Demon Art to become Muzan Kibutsuji, and the three continued to fight invisible using the talisman Inosuke Hashibira had found. Facing Muzan, he struggled to his feet, determined to die, wanting to continue fighting. Just as he was about Muzan be attacked by Muzan, he was saved by Tanjiro and entrusted to the care of the Hidden Army members.
After Tanjiro Kamado became a demon, in order to inject the medicine made by Shinobu Kocho that could turn demons back into humans into Tanjiro's body, she once again used the Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye. She sacrificed herself to pass through the attack, and while being pierced by Tanjiro, she successfully injected the medicine into Tanjiro's Demonization body. Even though she was seriously injured, she was still worried about Tanjiro until the very end. After her wounds were bandaged by Hidden, she looked at Tanjiro, who had returned to human form, and smiled.
After the final battle, the two remained in good health because their Equinoctial Vermilion Eye hadn't been used for long. Before the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, the Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa, entrusted Kaburamaru, a companion of the Serpent Pillar Obanai Iguro, to Kanao Tsuyuri under the tree with Tanjiro, Kanao Tsuyuri told Tanjiro that the tree was said to have been planted by the first swordsman to use Flower Breathing, and its name was "Victory." She wanted to tell that her predecessor that "his grand ambition from back then has been fulfilled."
Nostalgic for her descendants living in modern Tokyo Kanao Tsuyuri lives with Aoi Kanzaki in Shinobu's old house. Kanao Tsuyuri treats patients as a doctor, and when she encounters something she doesn't understand, she writes to Mr. Yushiro for advice and receives a reply quickly. Once a month, Kanao Tsuyuri regularly examines Tanjiro, who comes to visit. Nezuko also often comes to Kanao Tsuyuri's place to learn how to cook and brings back local specialties such as ramune soda.
She later married Tanjiro Kamado and had children. Their great-grandchildren, Kanata Kamado and Sumihiko Kamado, live in modern-day Tokyo. When they were young, Kanata heard the story of the Demon Slayer Corps from his grandmother and was moved and missed them.
The Hinokami Kagura has been passed down, and Kanata Kamado and Tanihiko would go to the shrine managed by the Ubuyashiki Family to Kagura every year.
In the official side story, * Kimetsu Academy Chronicles *, Kanao Tsuyuri is a second-year student in the Sumire Class of the high school division. She has no relatives and was adopted by the Kocho Family. Because of her resemblance to the Butterfly Sisters, she is often mistaken for their sister. She is one of the three most beautiful girls in the school. She is athletically gifted and frequently scouted, often asked to help others. As she is in the Flower Arrangement Club, she prioritizes that club, but seems to be struggling.
He has a dark rooster-like hairstyle and a scar on his right cheek that extends to his nose, a mark left from an attack by his Demonization mother. Due to his poor physical abilities, he is unable to use breathing. However, his powerful bite and special digestive organs give him a unique "sense of taste" that allows him to temporarily transform into a demon after consuming one. The stronger the demon he eats, the greater his regenerative abilities and strength increase, making him a rare Demon Eater within the Demon Slayer Corps.
When she first joined the Demon Slayer Corps, she was impatient and prone to violence over minor disagreements. However, as she spent more time with the other members, she gradually regained her gentler personality and revealed a childlike innocence befitting her age. She is straightforward and will speak her mind even when she knows something is rude. Although she can Fudō, she never skips training.
He's not good at interacting with girls, and he blushes when he gets too close to them. However, when facing his older brother Sanemi Shinazugawa, he always becomes timid and hesitant because he feels guilty about something he said in childhood.
Ability Setting Broadcast Edit Setting Introduction Image - The left hand uses a black double-barreled shotgun, which can hold six bullets at a time. After Genya Shinazugawa further Demonization, he can fire bullets containing Blood Demon Art. The right hand holds Nichirin Sword, with a black hilt and an oval interlocking pattern on the tsuba (handguard), without any special color.
The Fire Pistol Demonization possesses excellent biting power and digestive organs, giving him the unique ability to devour demons and temporarily Demonization into one. The stronger the demon he consumes, the greater the regenerative abilities and power he gains. Genya Shinazugawa's teeth are extremely hard, even capable of swallowing Hantengu's Blood Demon Art: Wooden Dragon of Incessant Karma. This special ability compensates for Genya Shinazugawa's lack of talent as a swordsman, inability to use breathing techniques, and low physical abilities.
After consuming Kokushibo's hair and broken sword, his strength was further enhanced, even allowing him to Demonization his gun Shuya Shinazugawa. The bullets he fired could unleash the Blood Demon Art: Wooden Dragon of Incessant Karma, which he had previously consumed from Hantengu. Demonization Transformation Relationships: Brother: Sanemi Shinazugawa; Brothers: Hiroshi Shinazugawa, Koto Shinazugawa, Shinazugawa Sumi Shinazugawa; Sisters: Teiko Shinazugawa, Shinazugawa Toshimi; Master: Gyomei Himejima. Early Life Genya Shinazugawa was born into an ordinary city family with seven siblings; he was the second oldest.
After their wicked father was stabbed to death, Genya Shinazugawa, the second oldest of his siblings, made a vow with his Sanemi Shinazugawa, to protect their family together. One night, their mother went out and didn't return for a long time, Sanemi Shinazugawa went out alone to look for her. However, as darkness fell, their house was attacked by a demon that broke in. Genya Shinazugawa's younger siblings all died because they were too close to the door during the demon's first attack, and Genya himself was left with a huge scar on his face.
Because the lamp was broken, Genya Shinazugawa couldn't see the demon's face and didn't know that the demon was his mother. Just then, Sanemi Shinazugawa rushed back and fought the demon, telling Genya Shinazugawa to leave him behind and run away. However, Genya Shinazugawa, still worried, immediately chased after his brother outside, only to find his mother dead and his brother covered in blood, holding a knife.
Genya Shinazugawa, mistakenly believing his brother killed their mother, is unable to accept the truth due to the recent loss of his other siblings. He immediately berates Sanemi Shinazugawa as a "murderer," failing to notice that his mother's body is gradually disappearing as the sun rises... misunderstanding.
Afterwards, Genya Shinazugawa, having learned of the existence of demons, finally discovered the truth—it was their Demonization mother who killed their younger siblings, and it was impossible for their older brother to kill their mother without Nichirin Sword; their brother had only severely injured their mother at that time, and the real cause of their mother's death was actually sunlight... However, when Genya Shinazugawa wanted to apologize to his brother, Sanemi Shinazugawa had already disappeared.
Years later, Genya Shinazugawa decides to join the Demon Slayer Corps to avenge his siblings, but due to his frail body, he cannot learn to breathe properly. However, he unexpectedly discovers that he can temporarily Demonization by eating demons. Under these circumstances, Genya Shinazugawa decides to participate in the Final Selection. In the selection arc, he survives for seven days on Mount Fujikasane thanks to his Demonization. Ultimately, he, along with Tanjiro Kamado Zenitsu Agatsuma Inosuke Hashibira, Kanao Tsuyuri, becomes one of the five students who successfully pass the Final Selection and join the Demon Slayer Corps.
Although stopped, during the exile of the Tanjiro Kasugai Crow, Genya Shinazugawa became angry that the Ubuyashiki Family girl, who was the examiner, didn't immediately give him his Nichirin Sword and became violent towards her. Tanjiro stopped him, and Genya almost had his arm broken in the process. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Genya Shinazugawa found his brother Sanemi Shinazugawa at the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters. However, Sanemi Shinazugawa, now the Wind Pillar, treated him completely differently, becoming extremely violent and rude, even refusing to acknowledge them as brothers. Because of his brother's hostile attitude, Genya Shinazugawa mistakenly believed that his brother still resented him and gradually became afraid to communicate with Sanemi Shinazugawa. A reunion of brothers?
Afterwards, Genya Shinazugawa attempted to become the disciple of the Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, but Gyomei Himejima refused to take him as his Tsuguko because he was deemed unsuitable. However, after discovering that Genya Shinazugawa was eating demons, Gyomei Himejima decided to accept him as a disciple and asked the Insect Pillar, Shinobu Kocho, to diagnose Genya Shinazugawa's physical condition. At the same time, Gyomei Himejima instructed Genya Shinazugawa not to approach Sanemi Shinazugawa again to avoid further conflict.
After the Hashira Trial, Genya Shinazugawa had grown quite tall and strong. On his way to the Butterfly Mansion for Shinobu's diagnosis, he ran into Tanjiro. Because Tanjiro had previously broken his arm, Genya Shinazugawa harbored a dislike for him and walked past him without saying a word.
Meanwhile, because he had previously eaten a demon, Tanjiro detected a strange smell on him. In the Mugen Train arc Genya Shinazugawa, who was with his master, and his master, Gyomei Himejima, learned of the death of the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, and were deeply saddened. In the Swordsmith Village arc, he went to the Swordsmith Village to repair his Nichirin Sword.
After arriving at the Swordsmith Village, he went to the hot spring in order to find a secluded place to remove the fangs left over from his previous Demonization. However, he encountered the Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Tanjiro at the hot spring, but he remained indifferent to both of them (when he saw Mitsuri, he was actually too shy to speak).
Later, Genya Shinazugawa questioned Tanjiro about his relationship with his brother. Touched on a sore spot, Genya, already resentful of Tanjiro's victory over Gyutaro, became even more enraged upon hearing this and left. When Tanjiro came to his room for advice, Genya Shinazugawa flew into a rage and kicked Tanjiro out of the room because Tanjiro had retrieved his previously extracted tooth.
(2 images) During the attack on the village by Upper Hantengu, and Upper Gyokko Five, Genya Shinazugawa swiftly used his Fire Pistol to sever the necks of Hantengu's clones, "Sekido" and "Karaku," but this caused the two demons to split into two more clones, "Urogi" and "Aizetsu." Genya Shinazugawa then took charge of fighting Aizetsu. Although he was initially completely overwhelmed by the opponent, Genya Shinazugawa quickly consumed its body tissue to complete his Demonization and began to counterattack through "Repetitive Action."
Because he was unconvinced by Tanjiro's victory over Upper Moon Six, Genya Shinazugawa seized the opportunity after seeing Tanjiro use his Crimson Blade to defeat the three demons, Sekido, Karaku, Urogi, to quickly defeat Aizetsu using his Demonization abilities. He then threatened Tanjiro not to steal his thunder and declared that he must become a Pillar to gain his brother's approval. However, Tanjiro was not angry at all about his actions and even said that he would help Genya Shinazugawa.
Seeing Tanjiro's incredibly sincere eyes, Genya Shinazugawa's initial aversion to Tanjiro gradually disappeared. Later, guided by Tanjiro, Genya Shinazugawa found Hantengu's true form, "Kei," but because Kei's neck was too strong, his Nichirin Sword not only failed to behead it but also broke off. Because of the long delay, Sekido and Ai Jue Aizetsu abandoned Tanjiro and rushed over.
As Genya Shinazugawa was about to be Sekido through the head by Yuuki's staff (only the area above the neck would not regenerate, resulting in death), he saw a flashback of his past with his brother. At the same time, Tanjiro arrived and stopped Sekido's attack, encouraging Genya Shinazugawa. In the end, Genya Shinazugawa completely let go of his pride and felt ashamed of his previous attitude towards Tanjiro. When Tanjiro was Aizetsu killed by Ai Zetsu's "Tears of Rage: Thrusting Barrage," Genya Shinazugawa shielded him with his own body.
Genya Shinazugawa then admitted to Tanjiro that he couldn't behead Hantengu, and asked Tanjiro to kill "Kei," while he would hold off its clones. Growing stronger with each battle, Genya Shinazugawa witnessed Tanjiro nearly kill "Kei" with his "Crimson Blade," at which point Genya saw the Sekido absorb the other three clones and evolve them into "Zohakuten." He then felt an immense pressure emanating from Zohakuten and dared not utter a sound.
But after seeing Tanjiro angrily respond to Zohakuten's words, Genya Shinazugawa also tried to stand up, but was quickly suppressed by Zohakuten's wide-range Blood Demon Art.
In order to escape, Genya Shinazugawa had no choice but to try to eat the wooden dragon summoned by Hantengu in an attempt to further Demonization, but it did not take effect immediately. Afterwards, Mitsuri Kanroji arrived to help.
While Mitsuri held off Zohakuten, Genya Shinazugawa and Tanjiro continued their pursuit of "Kei". Annoyed by Kei's constant escapes, Genya Shinazugawa swung a large tree at it. After Hantengu's fifth clone, "Hate", appeared, Genya Shinazugawa and Nezuko arrived together to save Tanjiro while Tanjiro was entangled with Hate.
Finally, after Tanjiro successfully killed Hantengu, Genya Shinazugawa saw Tanjiro and Nezuko had overcome the sunlight, embracing and weeping. He recalled his childhood relationship with his older brother Sanemi Shinazugawa and smiled with relief that the Kamado siblings had found happiness.
(It's heartbreaking to see; he's probably a little envious.) During his time Hashira Training, Genya struggled with interacting with girls due to his serious injuries and had to recuperate at the Butterfly Mansion. However, because of his adolescence, he was not good at interacting with girls and found it difficult to adapt. (Sanemi Shinazugawa secretly visited him before he woke up.) After recovering from his injuries, Genya Shinazugawa intended to apologize to his older brother when he went to Sanemi Shinazugawa's place for training, but Sanemi Shinazugawa said it didn't matter and still refused to acknowledge that he and Genya Shinazugawa were brothers.
However, after Genya Shinazugawa revealed that he had eaten a demon during a battle, Sanemi Shinazugawa, upon learning this, immediately intended to cripple Genya Shinazugawa and expel him from the Demon Slayer Corps. Fortunately, Tanjiro arrived in time, allowing Genya Shinazugawa to escape Sanemi Shinazugawa's attack and be rescued by Zenitsu. Afterwards, Genya Shinazugawa was forced to prematurely end his training at Sanemi Shinazugawa's residence and return to his master Gyomei Himejima's place to train. When Tanjiro encountered a bottleneck in his training, Genya Shinazugawa found him and taught him a method of improving concentration. "Repetitive Action." At the same time, Genya Shinazugawa also noticed that the Demon Slayer Mark on Tanjiro's forehead had become darker.
When Tanjiro finished his training, Genya Shinazugawa told Tanjiro about his past while Tanjiro and Inosuke Hashibira were eating together. Inosuke laughed at Inosuke Hashibira for saying he couldn't breathe. Enraged, Genya Shinazugawa then started fighting with Inosuke Hashibira. Later, as Tanjiro was about to leave, he told Genya Shinazugawa that he only sensed Sanemi Shinazugawa's anger towards him for eating demons from Sanemi Shinazugawa's words, but there was no hatred or malice mixed in. This reassured Genya Shinazugawa, allowing him to safely convey his thoughts to Sanemi Shinazugawa.
After being trapped in the Infinity Castle during the Infinity Castle arc, Genya Shinazugawa discovered that the Muichiro Tokito, Kokushibo, had been pinned to the wall by Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, and was nearly forcibly turned into Demonization. In an attempt to save him, Genya fired Fire Pistol at Kokushibo, but Kokushibo not only easily dodged his own bullets but also instantly cut himself in half at the waist.
Subsequently, Genya Shinazugawa, having survived being cut in half at the waist, was recognized by Kokushibo as the "Demon Eater" he had seen 300 years prior, and nearly beheaded. Just as Genya Shinazugawa was about to be Kokushibo by Kokushibo, Sanemi Shinazugawa arrived in time to save Genya Shinazugawa. At the same time, Sanemi Shinazugawa finally revealed to Genya Shinazugawa that the reason he had been so cold and ruthless towards him was because he didn't want him to be in danger.
Genya Shinazugawa then learns that his brother has only been indirectly caring for him all along, and he repeatedly apologizes to his brother out of guilt. Next, Sanemi Shinazugawa engages in battle with Kokushibo to save his brother. Sanemi Shinazugawa is in danger due to the effects of the Rare Blood, Gyomei Himejima arrives in time to save Sanemi Shinazugawa, and the two then fight Kokushibo together.
After Muichiro Tokito broke free of the blade's restraints, Genya Shinazugawa asked him to piece his body back together and retrieve the hair that Kokushibo had severed during his Gyomei Himejima.
Subsequently, Genya Shinazugawa ate Kokushibo's hair in order to accelerate his regeneration, but unintentionally, after further Demonization, he heard Muzan Kibutsuji issuing commands to Kokushibo through his cells.
Although Genya Shinazugawa was initially frightened by doubts about his physical condition, he didn't want his older brother, master, and Muichiro Tokito to sacrifice themselves. Recalling Tanjiro's explanation of how he defeated Gyutaro, and believing that his weakness wouldn't attract Kokushibo's attention, Genya Shinazugawa resolutely swallowed Kokushibo's demon blade, which had been broken by Gyomei Himejima, and completed a further Demonization. To destroy demons, he transformed into a demon. Later, when Muichiro Tokito, through near self-sacrifice, pierced Kokushibo, creating an opportunity for himself, Genya Shinazugawa shot Kokushibo with his Demonization Fire Pistol.
Although Kokushibo blocked the bullet with his Kokushibo blades, Genya Shinazugawa still managed to unleash the Blood Demon Art of the Hantengu he had previously devoured, sprouting trees to bind Kokushibo. Simultaneously, Genya Shinazugawa and Gyomei Himejima seized the opportunity to charge at Kokushibo, but the enraged Kokushibo immediately activated his Blood Demon Art, causing countless demon blades to sprout from his body and unleash a barrage of blade winds, severing Muichiro Tokito at the waist and cutting Genya Shinazugawa in two. However, in the critical moment, the dying Muichiro Tokito Awakening "Crimson Blade," burning Kokushibo's internal organs and rendering them unable to regenerate.
Meanwhile, the dying Genya Shinazugawa, through sheer willpower, once again activated his Blood Demon Art, absorbing a large amount of Kokushibo's blood through the trees, rendering him unable to use Blood Demon Art. Then, Gyomei Himejima seized the opportunity, and with Sanemi Shinazugawa's help, successfully beheaded Kokushibo. However, Kokushibo, driven by his own obsession, broke through his limits, regenerating his head. He even mocked Genya Shinazugawa and Muichiro Tokito's struggles in his heart before resuming his battle with the grief-stricken Sanemi Shinazugawa and Gyomei Himejima.
Later, when Kokushibo realized that Genya Shinazugawa and Muichiro Tokito were on the verge of collapse, he pulled Muichiro Tokito's Nichirin Sword from his own body. However, he saw his monstrous rebirth reflected in the blade of Sanemi Shinazugawa's sword, causing him to freeze in place. He began to doubt whether he had survived for hundreds of years to become such a pathetic creature. Finally, Kokushibo remembered his original desire to become stronger, and thus lost his will to fight.
Ultimately, Kokushibo's regeneration was restricted by Muichiro Tokito's Nichirin Sword, causing his body to gradually decay. He was eventually destroyed by Sanemi Shinazugawa and Gyomei Himejima's combined efforts, vanishing into nothingness. Although Kokushibo was eliminated, Genya Shinazugawa was now experiencing a decline in his own Blood Demon Art as Kokushibo's blood within him gradually evaporated and his own power diminished.
Genya Shinazugawa, whose consciousness was gradually fading, smiled with relief when he saw that his older brother was only unconscious and unharmed. However, after Muichiro Tokito was also seriously injured, passed away, Genya Shinazugawa's body gradually could not hold on any longer... At this moment, Sanemi Shinazugawa had just woken up, suddenly discovered in horror that his younger brother's body, which had been split in two, had not only failed to recover, but was instead gradually disintegrating like a demon exposed to sunlight.
Yes, since Kokushibo was dead, Genya Shinazugawa, who had previously acquired Kokushibo's power, also lost his ability to recover. At this moment of parting between brothers, although the grief-stricken Sanemi Shinazugawa cried out that he would find a way to save his younger brother, Genya Shinazugawa's body continued to deteriorate. On his deathbed, Genya Shinazugawa intermittently apologized to his brother for the apologies he had been unable to say for many years, and expressed his gratitude to his brother who had silently endured everything to protect him.
As Sanemi Shinazugawa repeatedly cried out, "Don't die!" Genya Shinazugawa, with his last strength, struggled to utter his final wish. "Just like... brother... protected me... I also... want to... protect brother. This feeling... is the same, after all... we... are brothers. I hope that brother... who has endured countless hardships... can be happy, because brother... is the gentlest person in this world..." With these words, amidst Sanemi Shinazugawa's heart-wrenching cries, Genya Shinazugawa, who had recently resolved his misunderstanding with his brother, vanished with regret.
Afterwards, Genya Shinazugawa's soul traveled to the other side. Although he could no longer be with his brother, he was fortunate to find no loneliness there, as his family remained with him. From then on, Genya Shinazugawa and his family stayed together on the other side, protecting his brother. The final episode shifts to modern-day Tokyo, where Genya Shinazugawa has been reincarnated as a descendant of his brother Masahiro Shinazugawa. While on patrol, he encounters Sumihiko Kamado, who is parkouring his way to school. Genya then joins Tanohiko's parents in scolding him for four hours.
