In “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” he is the younger brother of the Wind Pillar, Shinazugawa Sanemi, and the only member of the Corps who eats demons.
Although he can be rough in his words and actions, he is also a popular character who has a gap moe vibe about him, as he enjoys friendly conversations with people he trusts.
So, in which chapter of the original manga does Genya finally die?
I’m also curious about the circumstances leading up to Genya Shinazugawa’s death and his transformation into a demon.
So, this time I’ve summarized what I know about Genya Shinazugawa’s death.
- Spoilers for the circumstances surrounding Genya Shinazugawa’s death!
- Why did Genya Shinazugawa die after turning into a demon?
We will be delivering this article titled “Spoilers on the circumstances surrounding Genya Shinazugawa’s death! Why did he die after turning into a demon? “
In which episode does Genya Shinazugawa die? When does he become a demon?
Genya Shinazugawa’s death occurs in Chapter 179 of Volume 21 of the original manga.
Genya Shinazugawa dies in a battle with Kokushibo, Upper Rank One.
Here we will explain the events that led to Genya’s death, from the battle with Kokushibo!
Spoilers for the circumstances surrounding Genya Shinazugawa’s death!
When Genya witnesses the battle between Kokushibo and Tokito Muichiro, he realizes that Muichiro is in trouble.
He then approaches Kokushibo from behind and attacks him with a Nanban gun.
However, Kokushibo had seen through everything, and in an instant, he got behind Genya, cut off both of his arms, and then cut his torso in half.
Still, Genya tries to somehow keep his arm attached, and just as Kokushibo is about to deliver the final blow, his older brother, Sanemi, appears to help!
“You’re really a hopeless little brother,” he mutters, and tells Genya that he wanted him to live a normal life, start a family, and live happily to make up for the family he lost.
That’s why he deliberately treated Genya coldly, wanting him to live in a world without demons alone, rather than following him and joining the Demon Slayer Corps.
Did Genya Shinazugawa return to the battlefield after transforming into a demon?
Genya, who can temporarily gain demon abilities by consuming demons’ flesh and blood demon arts, asks Muichiro for help and succeeds in eating Kokushibo’s hair and reattaching his body to Kokushibo.
Furthermore, thinking only of winning, he eats the broken tip of Kokushibo’s blade and transforms the Nanban gun in order to prevent his brother and comrades from dying.
Then, while Muichiro was holding back Kokushibo’s movements, he attacked Kokushibo with the transformed Nanban gun.
At that time, he used the Blood Demon Art of Hantengu that he had consumed in the Swordsmith Village to attach tree roots to Kokushibo’s body, immobilizing him.
Is Genya Shinazugawa’s body split in half?
Genya eats part of the demon, transforms his gun, and even activates a Blood Demon Art.
However, Kokushibo unleashed an attack, protruding blades from all over his body, cutting Genya in half vertically.
As his consciousness fades, Genya realizes that the bullets he had fired are still inside Kokushibo’s body, and he musters his last bit of strength to activate his Blood Demon Art again.
With the tree roots making it difficult for Kokushibo to move, Himejima Gyomei and Sanemi launched a flurry of attacks and successfully defeated him.
Does Genya Shinazugawa end up confessing his feelings to his brother and then dying?
Although Genya’s body was cut in half by Kokushibo’s attack, he managed to retain consciousness because he had transformed into a demon.
However, the effects of the drug wear off as the blood starts to bleed, and gradually the body begins to deteriorate.
When Sanemi saw that,
“It’s okay, I’ll do something. Big Brother will do something about it.” “Don’t die before me!!”
He cries out, but sensing that he is about to die, Genya apologizes to Sanemi for blaming him for killing his mother who had turned into a demon, and for causing him so much trouble.
He then said, “I also wanted to protect my big brother. We feel the same way because we’re brothers…” and finally, he turned to ashes and disappeared, wishing Sanemi happiness.
Why did Genya Shinazugawa die after turning into a demon?
Genya Shinazugawa can turn into a demon by consuming demons, but why did he end up dying even though he wasn’t cut in the neck or exposed to sunlight?
We will investigate the cause of death!
The direct cause was fatal injuries.
After being eaten by Kokushibo’s hair, Genya was transformed into a demon and was temporarily able to regenerate with super-powers, but immediately afterwards his body was cut in half vertically by an attack from Kokushibo.
At that point, Genya’s capacity for super regeneration had already been exceeded, and he had also suffered a fatal injury, so it is believed that he was unable to regenerate any further and died.
Wasn’t he completely demonized?
In the first place, I don’t think Genya had completely turned into a demon.
Genya only becomes a demon temporarily, but usually lives a normal life just like a human.
Therefore, if they were genuine demons, they would not die simply from their regenerative abilities being weakened.
However, in Genya’s case, because he is “temporarily human and demon,” he is able to regenerate from minor wounds, but if he were to suffer a fatal injury, it is thought that he would not survive.
Why did he end up turning to ashes and dying?
Although Genya did not become a full demon, he absorbed Kokushibo’s abilities just before his final death.
Therefore, like other demons, it is highly likely that in the end, his body collapsed and disappeared.
So while we can expect Genya’s transformation into a demon to give him super regeneration, improved physical abilities, and the ability to use Blood Demon Arts, it may also give him the ability to have his body break down like a normal demon if he receives a fatal injury.
summary
Thank you for reading “Spoilers on the circumstances surrounding Genya Shinazugawa’s death! Why did he die after turning into a demon?” to the end.
This time, I have summarized the death of Genya Shinazugawa.
Genya Shinazugawa died in the battle with Kokushibo.
Despite his violent personality, Genya deepened his bond with his brother and turned to ashes before disappearing, and his final moments are one of the highlights of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Arc.
I’m looking forward to the movie too
