Genya Shinazugawa in Demon Slayer S3 is shown as a mighty demon slayer who eats other demons to gain strength. Although we have seen Shinazugawa early on in the anime, we have often seen him as an ‘angry’ character. Through this article, we will try to assess Genya Shinazugawa and his ability to eat other demons.
Through this idea of his strength, we will also go into his past. Genya Shinazugawa is also the brother of Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira. The relationship of the two brothers is rather complicated and so is Genya’s inhuman ability to gain strength. It has often left his opponents in shock and we will see how he operates in such fights.
Genya Shinazugawa: a tragic child and the brother of a Hashira
Genya Shinazugawa, the demon slayer who gains strength by eating other demons, had a tragic childhood. He was conflicted throughout his childhood and was one of the weaker brothers. His brother Sanemi, who later became the Wind Hashira, is comparatively the stronger brother.
- Through this picture that we have gained of the two brothers, we can understand how the anime is trying to create an atmosphere of sympathy for the weaker brother.
- It is also a method of creating an air of tension as the viewer anticipates a peaceful resolution for the character. This makes the idea of the character a medium of association for a distorted reality, where tragedy is tried to be avoided while existing in a tragic atmosphere.
The two brothers lost their mother and the rest of the family to a demon attack and both of them decided to avenge the death of the same. Sanemi, the Wind Hashira is not confident about his brother’s strength and we might witness a change of perspective in Demon Slayer S3.
Genya and his gun: Why does the demon slayer not use a Nichirin blade?
Genya is unable to use any form of breathing style. But, having trained with the Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima, he has learned a technique called ‘repetitive action‘ which allows him to open his five senses. It also allows him to gain the same kind of strength like total concentration breathing.
Because he cannot use any breathing technique, he uses a double-barrel gun which fires bullets at the demons. These bullets are powerful and also unpredictable as no demon expects an attack of this sort. Due to this ability to ward off danger using an unconventional technique, Genya becomes a powerful demon slayer in the anime.
Genya Shinazugawa eats Demon flesh: How powerful does it make him?
Genya Shinazugawa can eat demon flesh and gain similar demonic powers for a duration of time. This window where he becomes partially demonic gives him the ability to become immortal.
- He also acquires heightened strength and regeneration ability, which makes him invincible in battle. He also recites a particular chant called the Amida Sutra, which gives him the ability to concentrate and also maintain his repetitive action technique in motion.
How long does he remain powerful?

- Genya eats demon flesh only to gain strength momentarily. He is a partial demon and he gains the blood demon art of the host.
He also becomes invincible and can only be killed by beheading. Therefore, Genya Shinazugawa can be seen as a host of unconventional battle strategies which are not only impressive but they also become a metaphor for the will of the weak to survive in the wild using desperate measures.
Conclusion

Genya Shinazugawa is a powerful demon slayer who has mastered a distinct style of fighting. Demon Slayer S3 portrays him as a character who is more than his hostility. He is shown from the perspective of his opponents and his comrades. This gives him an appeal to the audience for being a soft character. We will see how Genya Shinazugawa further experiments with his abilities as the anime proceeds.
