Genya

He becomes softer, friendlier, although he does not lose his former hot temper. From time to time, when girls are around, he shows timidity and shyness.

Capabilities

Demonic Transformation: Genya can temporarily gain demonic powers by consuming the flesh of a demon. The regeneration and physical strength he gains from this is dependent on the strength of the demon he ate. [9] In this form, he was even able to slightly overpower Aizetsu . Upper Moon Four Power: After absorbing the wood created by Zohakuten , Genya became strong and fast enough to throw three trees in a row. [10] The full extent of this power was shown during his fight with Kokushibo, where Genya did not die even after being cut across, and thus, like demons, could only be killed by decapitation. [11] Upper Moon One's Power: When Genya ate Kokushibo's hair, his demonic abilities were further enhanced, being able to reunite his severed body in seconds and even hearing a message from Muzan Kibutsuji . [12] By eating a portion of Upper Moon One's blade, he also took on some of his appearance. Thanks to these enhancements, not only was he able to survive being sliced ​​lengthwise, but he also retained enough power to be able to activate the Blood Demon Technique. [13] However, due to his mortal wounds, Genya, like any demon, eventually crumbled to dust. [14] Flesh Gun: Genya was able to detach his cells and combine them with his gun, giving it the characteristics of Kokushibo's blade, with multiple eyes appearing on its body, as well as increased accuracy and power of its shots. [15] Repetitive Actions: A technique Genya learned from Gyomei Himejima to compensate for his inability to use his breath . [16] While performing this technique, Genya chants sutras over and over to increase his concentration and distract himself from the pain, as he did when he was fatally wounded by Hantengu Aizetsu's clone. [17]

Fighting style

Master Swordsman: Before the invention of the gun, Genya's primary weapon was the short nichirin blade, which he also used skillfully in combat against demons.

Like Nezuko, Genya's techniques are designed to harm other demons. Flesh Bullets: [18] Genya combines his demonic cells with his guns and can freely change the speed and direction of the bullets to avoid obstacles on their way to their target. Once the bullets hit their target, they instantly grow into a giant tree and wrap around the target's body, paralyzing them. Blood Roots: [19] Bullets that hit their target can root inside the opponent and suck out their blood, preventing them from using their own Blood Demon Technique.

Equipment

Nichirin Shotgun: Genya wields a short, double-barreled shotgun (resembling a classic sawed-off shotgun), which he uses skillfully as a melee and ranged weapon.
