Demon Slayer’s Genya Introduces a Shocking New Weapon

Before the series featured the rifle, Demon Slayers could only kill demons by exposing them to sunlight or using Nichirin swords forged by the village swordsmiths. However, due to the use of certain substances in the shells, this weapon may deal the same amount of damage as these instruments. The ammunition is made up of Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore, both of which are required in the construction of Nichirin swords. Genya also carries a tiny Nichirin sword to finish off his adversaries if the cannon is insufficient.

The first season of the show introduced Genya, the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa’s younger brother, who met the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, following the Final Selection examination. They would have a minor physical altercation there, with Genya sustaining a fractured arm as a result of the exchange. He would later emerge at the Butterfly Mansion, passing the protagonist once again. In the “Swordsmith Village” arc, the character replaces Zenitsu and Inouske as Tanjiro’s main support, with the Love Hashira Mitsuji Kanroji and Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito.
