Genkishi

Template:Mist character

Character Outline

Genkishi was an A-rank Millefiore subordinate known as Byakuran's right-hand man and the strongest soldier before the appearance of the Six Funeral Wreaths. This strength, coupled with his powerful illusions, earned him the nickname The Phantom Knight, leading even other Millefiore Captains, such as Gamma, to fear him. He was fiercely loyal to Byakuran, referring to him as a God and, as such, blindly followed all his orders, even going as far as betraying his former family. The only time he showed hesitation was when Yuni was around or when he was reminded of her. Though mostly calm while fighting, Genkishi lost all control whenever he used the Ossa Impressione Hell Ring and began ranting. Tsunayoshi Sawada even commented that his stoic self was more fearsome despite having less power.

History

Before joining the Mafia, Genkishi was a swordsman unfortunate enough to receive an incurable disease while traveling. While in treatment, he was visited by Byakuran, who cured him using his knowledge gathered from his trips into other parallel worlds. In response, Genkishi came to know him as a god. Genkishi later joined the Giglio Nero Famiglia and acted as a spy for Byakuran during the war against the Gesso Famiglia. A ceasefire was agreed if Genkishi could defeat a powerful swordsman for the Gesso. However, Genkishi used illusions to fake his defeat so that he could kill the remaining Giglio Nero and steal their Mare Rings when their guards were down. However, their leader Yuni saw through this and held him back. But, in order to stop the bloodshed, Yuni agreed to the union of the two families.

Future Arc

During the war between the Millefiore and Vongola, Genkishi was sent to Namimori in order to protect Shoichi Irie at his Melone Base. During the Vongola's invasion of the base Genkishi was positioned to intercept Lal Mirch and Takeshi Yamamoto, who he swiftly defeated. However before he could kill them he was interrupted by Kyoya Hibari. Genkishi came inches from killing him in battle but Hibari was at that moment switched with his past self and joined with the rest of the Vongola. After being separated from them, Genkishi fought Tsunayoshi Sawada and unleashed the power of his Hell Ring. However he held back, as Tsuna reminded him of Yuni, and escaped after his defeat.

Choice Arc

Genkishi disguised as Saru

During Choice, Genkishi(disguised as Torikabuto's subordinate, Saru) was chosen as the second Mist member of the Millfiore side.

Genkishi dying from the Bellflowers

After the Vongola deployed flame decoys the Millefiore decided to destroy each one in order to find the real target. Genkishi then encountered Yamamoto and, after Genkishi revealed his true identity, the two fought for a second time. However even after using his Hell Ring, Genkishi was defeated by Yamamoto's Cambio Forma. Kikyo (on orders from Byakuran) then released a number of Bellflowers into Genkishi's Armour that began killing him from within. Genkishi then died, still adamant that Byakuran would save him.

The illusion sword can create multiple copies of itself as well as mist flames, to be used as countless projectiles, while the Armatura acts armour while amplifying the users illusions. However when used to much the Ring will take over the users mind who will then take the form of a skeletal Knight.
