After being attacked by nichevo'ya, or the nothings, her skin is scarred all over, and she has one remaining eye.
The Apparat curled his lip slightly at this. The salve was David's concoction for Genya. Along with her own efforts, it had helped to fade some of the worst of her scarring, but wounds from the nichevo'ya never healed completely.
King Alexander III continues to rape Genya which allows her to poison her lips as part of The Darkling's attempted coup. After Alina escapes the Little Palace, the King falls ill due to poison.
Gradually and with the support of those who love and believe in her, Genya starts to heal and see a path for a better future for herself and Ravka.
Genya tries to escape with her boyfriend David, but The Darkling catches her in the act. The Darkling, obviously slighted by Genya's betrayal, sets his Nichevo'ya on her, mauling her face and leaving her scarred. The Darkling then goes on to use Genya as an example to keep people in line.
In the simplest terms, the reason that Genya can't use Breathing Styles stems from his inability to achieve the total concentration breathing that other demon slayers use in order to access their abilities.
Due to his brother, Sanemi's criticism and his lack of power, the young and desperate Genya consumes demon flesh in order to become stronger. However, that takes away his ability to use breathing techniques, which is why Genya is unable to master swordsmanship.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, Volume 20 continues as the Demon Slayer Corps' initial confrontation with the most powerful of Muzan's demons, Kokushibo, has left Tokito severely wounded and Genya cut in half.
For a short amount of time, he can become a demon using his bite strength and his special digestive organs." Basically, as a result of his serious gnashers and iron stomach, Genya can devour demon flesh and gain characteristics like the sharpened fangs, frosted tips, and black pupils seen in the most recent episodes.
At the time of his debut during the Final Selection, Genya was a short, young man with large, inward-slanting eyes. The space where his eyebrows would've been is constantly furrowed, which gave him a permanently angered appearance.
The King intends to punish her for poisoning him, but she reveals to the others that she was abused by the King for years. After the King leaves, she breaks down, saying the others don't understand what she has been through. David then kisses her, and they make up.
(Genya wears white because she's a servant of the Little Palace.)
Why does Genya eat demons? He consumes demon flesh because it allows him to temporarily gain that demon's abilities despite being a human. This is a power that is unique only to him. In the latest episode of Demon Slayer, fans could watch him recite the Amida Sutra.
Genya is moved to tears and apologized after hearing Sanemi's reasoning behind his rudeness. After their battle with Kokushibou, Genya apologized again for blaming Sanemi and thanked his brother for protecting him before succumbing to his wounds and crumbling into dust, leaving Sanemi stricken with grief.
Genya Safin is a Tailor, a hybrid Grisha who has the power to alter people's appearances. Because of her unique gifts she has been placed in service to the Queen of Ravka, a situation that has isolated her from other Grisha and made her an outcast among her own people.
For the book character, see Genya Safin. Genya Safin is a Tailor for the Queen of Ravka who was tasked with spying on Alina Starkov and poisoning the King.
Genya was sliced up by Kokushibo, but the consumption of his hair allowed him to regenerate immediately. He also consumed Kokushibo's sword which was made out of his flesh. In the end, Kokushibo and Genya died without fully realizing the love their brothers had for them.
He asked impatiently about getting his Nichirin Sword, striking both his crow and Katana violently when his request went unfulfilled. Tanjiro interfered, if he didn't let his hands off Kanata immediately promised to break his arm. Then, when Genya dared him, Tanjiro pushes, leaving him with a broken limb.
To achieve redemption and seek reconciliation with Sanemi, who currently holds the esteemed position of the Wind Hashira, Genya sees becoming a Hashira himself as the only path forward.
Genya remains loyal to the Darkling, but his nichevo'ya mutilate her when she betrays him to help Alina escape in Siege and Storm. She joins Alina and helps in taking the King down. She marries David Kostyk and becomes a member of the Grisha Triumvirate.
This eventually helped Inosuke and Kanao to defeat him. However, Doma in his strongest form, may be able to beat Sanemi using his Blood Demon Art. By employing this, he can create a fine powder of ice crystals that is toxic if inhaled.
Genya is considered a weaker Demon Slayer, since the Upper Moon 1 acknowledged him to be the smallest threat during his battle against Genya and multiple Hashira.
5 Genya Shinazugawa
Genya was killed by the Upper Moon 1, Kokushibo, but not before helping the others take him down. As he was dying, his brother Sanemi regretted how strained their relationship have become, and wept as he begged the heavens to spare Genya.
Unlike other demon slayers, Genya is unable to use a Breathing style, so his swordplay would be essentially useless. These techniques give a Nichirin sword the power to behead a demon, so Genya had to be more innovative to become a demon slayer.
Genya Shinazugawa is not a demon in the series. He is a human and utilizes his unique abilities to fight against demons and protect humanity. While Genya's ability to consume demon flesh may have raised questions, it is a result of an experimental procedure and not an indication of his demonic nature.
