Character Directory

A cross between a turtle and a serpent, Genbu has been worshipped since ancient times as guardian of the north and the symbol of water. The dual nature of its intertwined snake and turtle bodies have also made it a symbol of ying and yang, and indeed, its ties to Onmyo magic are deep. Highly skilled Onmyo mages venerate Genbu as their guardian spirit, and have mastered the many powers of water in order to extinguish fire, wich they see as an agent of chaos.

How to Obtain

Obtained from completing The Inheritance sub mission in the Omi region.

Living Weapon

Genbu appears in front of you, turns around and casts geysers that do a large amount of Ki damage, apply water, knock Yokai up, and humans down.
