Since the production of the swordsmith’s village edition was announced in the third period of the animation of “Kimetsu no Yaiba,” attention has been focused on the characters scheduled to appear. With the participation of the demons of the first string, such as the death battle of PurgatoryPurgatory in the infinite train edition and the retirement of Umeda in the Yukaku edition, the action of the demon slaughter corps will become more fierce. Meanwhile, in the new series of swordsmith villages, two pillars fight fierce battles with two first strings. The main characters, Tanjiro Kamado and Genya Shinazugawa play essential roles in the struggle. One highlight is how Genya, who should not have been blessed with talent as a demon hunter, establishes a way of fighting in this series. Here we consider how Genya developed his talent through a feud with his talented brother.
The decisive drawback of Genya Shinazugawa
Genya Shinazugawa is the younger brother of Genya Shinazugawa, one of the main pillars of the demon slaughter corps. Is. Miya is one of the most powerful demon slaughterers and has a prominent fighting sense among the pillars, such as the excellence of “breathing the wind” and the light and agile movements. However, the younger brother with this “great brother” did not have the talent to change the “colour” of the demon slayer’s armour, the sun sword, required by the demon slayer’s soldiers.
Immediately after the final selection, which is the demon slaughter corps enlistment test, Genya wanted a sword to hit the child of the demon slaughter corps leader, Kozantei Ubuyashiki. After all, the Nichirin sword that became a sword did not change its colour and could not manipulate the related technique, “breathing.” With this incident of the Nichirin sword, Genya will be faced with his lack of talent as a demon hunter and the “difference from his brother.”
Talent that blossomed due to impatience
Not only was Genya unable to use “breathing,” but his physique was not as blessed as his brother. Genya’s height at the final selection was almost the same as Tanjiro Kamado’s. Still, his power was more substantial than Tanjiro Kamado’s, and his body remained young. However, immediately after the battle at Mt. Natagumo, Sumijiro reunites with the rapidly growing Genya at the mansion of the insect pillar, Kocho Shinobu.
Genya Shinazugawa’s unique talent, “Oni Eater.” Genya had a unique ability to temporarily become a demon by eating a monster. Even if his body is hurt, it will be regenerated like a demon, and his power will increase dramatically. For those of us who know Purgatory vs. Akaza, it is no longer necessary to explain how vital regeneration is. The details of Genya’s “Oni Eater” will be discussed in the swordsmith’s village edition, which is one of the highlights of the third period of animation.
However, “demon eating” is a severe contraindication that makes no sense as a human being. Since demons feed on humans, the act of eating monsters makes us imagine “human-eating” in a chain reaction. In addition, the Immortal River brothers once lost their beloved mother and brother and sister in the “demonization” incident and had a deep connection with the demons. Miya, who learned of his younger brother’s “demon-eating,” became furious and untouched by the surroundings.
Although Kanjiro managed to stop the raging Miya, the “threat” to Genya did not stop. When asked by Sumijiro, “Do you want to kill Genya?”, He replied in the form of anger.
Hidden brother’s affection
In this way, Miya is trying to get Genya to quit the demon slaughter corps, even though she says she has no younger brother. It was to protect the only surviving younger brother from the threat of demons. Later, Miya talks about why he continues to fight like a demon slaughterer during Genya’s crisis.
Once, when Genya got a demonized mother to protect her younger brother and sister, Genya was confused and shouted “Murder!”. Genya’s regrets are summarized in those words. However, all that Genya had in mind was a vow to save Genya’s life. Even if he couldn’t meet his dear brother, or if he made his brother feel lonely because he wasn’t around, only the intention to protect him was the driving force behind him.
Genya’s growth in the swordsmith’s village edition
However, Genya cannot know the true intention of such an older brother. An older brother fights against a mighty enemy called a demon. What was Genya’s mind when he heard the obituary of the vital flame pillar, PurgatoryPurgatory, who was in the same position as his brother? Just as Genya doesn’t want to kill Genya, Genya intends to protect his brother.
For Genya, who could not use “breathing” and could not “change the colour” of the sunflower sword, the swordsmiths prepared gun-type armour from the same material as the sunflower sword. With the help of the rock pillar, Genya Shinazugawa, who welcomed Genya, who was not blessed with the qualities of a soldier, as a disciple, Genya overcomes many weaknesses with a “strong will.”
“Brother” and “Brother”
From the first appearance to the middle of the swordsmith’s village edition, Genya’s angry appearance results from his full stretch to be recognized as a “strong demon hunter.” Genya, kind and “weak,” needed to show herself strongly. To meet his brother and to apologize to his brother.
However, although his body has grown significantly, the true Genya remains the “child” of that time, when he lost his mother, failed to protect his brother and sister, and was left behind by his brother. .. When he muttered a soft sound in his heart, “I’m sorry to say terrible things,” “I’m sorry,” “I wasn’t talented,” Genya once said to Miya, “Brother,” not “Brother.” The name of is leaked.
Genya finally accepts Genya’s thoughts of repeating “I’m sorry” and “I’m sorry.”
Since the infinite train edition, even the strongest pillars of the demon slaughter corps have been hurt and collapsed one after another in the fierce battle. However, Genya Shinazugawa, a swordfighter who should have been mediocre, saves the life of his brother, Miya, and plays an essential role as a breakthrough for the victory of the demon slaughter corps. The frantic efforts born from the “darkness” in the inner part of Genya eventually become “light” and begin to shine from the battle of the swordsmith village. I can’t wait to see how the growth of Genya Shinazugawa, who is clumsy but straight, is depicted in the anime.
