Genya Shinazugawa

Genya, having hit puberty, had a much more feral appearance. He had undergone a growth spurt that made him 1.80, with inward-slanting, large almond-shaped eyes featuring purple irises. His black hair is longer, styled in a mohawk-like fashion with strands framing his neck. His boyish features have toned down, replaced by a more muscular physique and numerous scars across his body. He also possess a large, jagged scar that ran over his right cheekbone from his ear and to over his nose.

Repetitive Action: A technique taught to him by Obanai Iguro to help him compensate for his inability to use Breathing Styles. This technique mainly focuses on Genya repeating a set of words or phrases that assists him to focus on his given task properly and keep his mind clear and block out pain. For Genya, he repeats a set of prayer of the Amida Sutra to help him focus and steel his mind, as seen where he used this technique to focus his mind after being fatally injured and to a degree, replicate the effects of Total Concentration Breathing.    Demon Consumption & Empowerment: Genya possesses unnaturally strong jaws and special digestive organs which allow him to tear off and consume the flesh of demons without any adverse effects and tear off even the likes of tree bark. By devouring demon flesh, Genya temporarily gains demonic characteristics, such as fangs, dark sclera, and unique yellow tips in his hair. Sometimes, presumably because of how concentrated a demon’s blood is, Genya can gain attributes related to the demon he devours. More importantly, Genya is able to become stronger after consuming a demon, receiving a bigger boost in power depending on the strength of the demon he consumes. For the most part, Genya gets an enhanced physical constitution (which makes up for his inability to use Breathing Styles) along with potent regeneration. Upon consuming Kokushibo's hair, his regenerative abilities were greatly heightened, allowing his severed torso to reconnect immediately. However, as noted by Kokushibo, Genya can still be killed in this form, most likely through decapitation.   Dual Wielding: Genya utilizes both a double-barreled shotgun with Nichirin cartridges, and a Nichirin wakizashi placed on his rear hip. He is shown to excel in blending both long-ranged and short-ranged combat against demons. Against strong targets, Genya usually sneaks up on them to fire his shotgun and switches to using his wakizashi should he fail in doing so. Genya demonstrates a high degree of marksmanship. It has also been stated that he is more adept at using his shotgun than his wakizashi.    Vampiric Trees: After devouring a chunk of Kokushibo's Flesh Katana, Genya developed a unique Demon Art. It is formed out of his altered double-barreled shotgun, which fires flesh cartridges that he can control the path and direction of. Once implanted into the target's body, the flesh bullets grow into gigantic trees that root into the ground, enough to trap the likes of Kokushibo for a short period of time. As long as the bullets remain in his target's body, Genya can keep activating his Demon Art. On top of being used to imprison enemies, because the trees absorb a lot of blood to grow, it can be used to prevent targets from using their own Demon Arts.    Superhuman Agility: Genya's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. He can leap several feet into the air and is able to move, jump, climb, flip, and run at incredibly fast speeds without difficulty or exhaustion.   Superhuman Strength: As a Dhampir, Genya possesses the strength of a vampire.   Experienced Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Genya has shown to be capable of handling himself in combat more than once.   Regeneration: Genya, like true vampires, possesses an accelerated healing ability that allows him to heal mild to moderate injuries with much greater speed and efficiency than ordinary humans. He is capable of healing from severe bites or scratch wounds within a matter of minutes to hours depending on the severity of the wound.

Genya’s outfit consists of a dark olive-green variation of the standard Monster Hunter uniform. This includes a button-up jacket with a stand-up collar and long sleeves, silver buttons, and a shirt pocket on the left breast, with the kanji for Destroy (滅 Metsu?) engraved on the back of the collar. A white long-sleeved collared undershirt is worn beneath the jacket, and the uniform is secured at the waist with a white belt. Over this, Genya continues to wear his old sleeveless, purple yukata. He also wears matching olive-green tattsuke-hakama pants and a pair of white jika-tabi on his feet.

Double-Barreled Shotgun: Genya wields a Western-style sawed off double-barreled shotgun, which he uses to shoot down targets from afar. Instead of normal cartridges, it fires shotgun pellets made with the same metal used to create Nichirin swords, which allow him to permanently kill Monster if he shoots off their necks.   Nichirin Wakizashi: In addition to his shotgun, Genya also carries a wakizashi, a Japanese sword with a dull gray blade shorter than a katana's, with two hollow ovals as its tsuba that overlap its core and are a dull shade of brown for its handguard. The handle is red covered with black cords, and a brown kishira. Along with his wakizashi, Genya also has his sheath tied to the rear of his hip.
