What does Genichiro start with?

 

[SpookyShadow]

Spamming with arrows from his bow, later going into CQC

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Arrows can either just stop via Lull, Giyuu can reflect them, or dodge them with precog. Similarly with CQC, minus the Lull.

 

[SpookyShadow]

You can see how Genichiro fights here

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

I've seen the fight before, but what does that mean in the face of Analytical Prediction?

 

[SpookyShadow]

Well, Giyu's prediction doesn't have many feats. He just instantly knew that Tanjirou was going to use Breath of Water technique twice, for a Breath of Water master that should be a piece of cake. He couldn't predict Tanjirou throwing an axe at him even before he was even training as Demon Hunter (He obviously dodged it though, but that's different from predicting). and Genichiro is extremely skilled and experienced in fight. If Giyu pushes him to wall, he will go Way of Tomoe and start spamming lightning that stunts opponents.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

That's different. Giyuu couldn't predict that coming because of the fact that he threw him off with a strategy that would've ended in his death just to kill him. Had it not been for the fact that he took note of his missing hatchet, then he would have been dead.

Spamming lightning can be dodged or Lull can be used.

 

[SpookyShadow]

Lull wasn't shown to null something like natural lightning though. And Genichiro, after being killed once will know of Lull, he can fight as long as he wants to

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Lull nullified shockwave danmaku.

 

[SpookyShadow]

Not entirely, and shockwaves aren't very similar to lightning sent from the sky, sure, maybe Lull with deflect arrows coming at him but he will get tired after long time fighting (and Giyu can't spam Lull), Genichiro shrugs off being stabbed in neck two times in a row and through chest.

And Genichiro can massively extend the range of his sword with lightning, would be hard for Giyu to block it (pure energy tbh)

Bump

It's worth to notice that Giyu has considerable AP advantage, as he scales below 70 tons and Genichiro above 15 tons

As a guy who is more knowledgeable on and is more in support of Sekiro than Kimetsu no Yaiba, I honestly gotta hand it to Giyū. He has superior AP with Demon Slayer Mark, due to being a Demon Slayer he has a tendency to go for decapitations (which Genichirou can't rez from, as seen in the Shura ending where Father kills him in this manner), and is frankly more skilled than Genichirou. Genichirou is very good, true, well educated in both Okami and Ashina fighting forms, but he leaves himself open quite often, which a death sentence against someone like Giyū. Even before he entered the Final Selection, Tanjirou (who like Giyū was a student of Urokodaki) trained his swordsmanship to a very high degree, tightening up his form, eliminating his wasted movement, and increasing the amount of speed and force he could muster with the economical movements. In short, Giyū is stronger, has tighter swordsmanship, and would strike with sufficient finality to put Genichirou down permanently.

Gravedigger lol

 

[SheevShezarrine]

Oh didn't notice how old this thread was lol. But all the same, I love Genichirou (and I also love bullying him every time I do a replay of Sekiro lel), but Giyū defeats him, maybe even walks all over him.

I'm pretty sure he couldn't rez from that because Owl used the Black Mortal Blade on him, which would make a ton more sense as to why he was permanently dead since Black Mortal Blade negates regen and Immortality.

Possible, but also we just don't see any immortals other than infested rez in such a manner, with Wolf even not regenerating his arm

If you count Guardian Ape, who can still function when decapitated

 

[SheevShezarrine]

Guardian Ape is infested
