Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Wooden Flesh Bullets: Due to eating the cells of Kokushibo and Hantengu, Genya had developed a blood demon technique where he merges his demon-transformed cells with his sun steel bullets, that, when fired, the direction and velocity of the bullets could be freely manipulated by Genya to easily move around obstructions between the bullet and the intended target, as seen when his bullets moved around Kokushibo's sword, directly burying themselves into his flesh. Once inside its target, the bullets can immediately grow into a gigantic tree similar to Zou Hakuten‘s blood demon technique and then entangle and wrap around the intended target, paralyzing them.
- Blood Roots: Genya could further alter his embedded Flesh Bullets by having them take root inside his target and suck the demons blood from inside their bodies, effectively preventing them from activating their own Blood Demon Technique.
