Jitsuya "Immortal River", the second strongest wind pillar in the Onikagitai.
Genya "Genya" Fushigawa, a disciple of Iwahashira and the most gifted genius in the Onikagitai.
In this article, I would like to consider the relationship between these two men and the feelings that the elder brother, Saneya Munekawa, had for his younger brother, Genya Munekawa, along with my own personal thoughts.

First of all.
Before I talk about the feelings my brother had, I want to keep in mind the past and present relationship between these two men.
I'll give you a quick introduction so you can learn more about it.original workand animationEpisode 6 of "The Village of the Swordsmith", ,Episode 5 of "Pillar Practice"We recommend that you look at the following

At this time, GenyaI mourned my brothers who died alone.I cry when I think about the fact that I am not the only one.
After that, Saneya joined the Onikagitai, and Genya went on a journey to find his brother.
Saneya becomes a pillar in the Onikagetai, and Genya joins with Sumijiro Kamakado, Zenitsu Azuma, Inosuke Zuihei, and Kanawo Kurihanashiraki.
Wind Pillar's feelings for his brother
From this point on, Saneya's feelings toward GenyaMixed feelingsI would like to talk about the following with my personal opinion.
The day they separated.
Saneya after killing her mother,Leaving Genya, the only survivor, on the spot.It leaves the place.
Genya, who remained alone, surely finished burying his family alone and later realized the terrible words he had thrown at his brother,I want to apologize to my brother.I wonder what Jitsuya was thinking when he thought of this.
Since this is a gentle Jitsuya, I wonder if he was thinking, "I left my brother alone," "I killed my mother," or "I can't let such a being near me.
Masachika KumenoUntil I met thesquad of demonsThey would not have even known of the existence of the
Catching demons by night, at sunrise.They hunted demons by exposing them to the sun.So, since the time of theHatred of demonsmust have been tremendous.
Along with his hatred of demons, he was prepared to devote himself to the battle in order to make his brother happy.
However, Jitsuya was also in these days.Around 15 years oldIt is. In those days.He was treated as an adult.Even so, it was a cruel fate for him, who had worked for his family and taken care of his siblings until now.
After joining the Onikagitai - until becoming a pillar
Meeting Masachika Kumeno, joining the Onikagetai - extra edition until becoming a pillar."Signposts in the Wind."You can read about it at
Even after joining the Onikagitai, SaneyaI hope Genya marries a woman he loves, has many children, and lives with a smile on his face.The following is a list of the most common problems with theI would do anything for that happiness.I thought it was a good idea.
My brother's at any time.Genya's happiness comes first.And I have not wavered in my position as the next in line.
Kumeno, who was watching Saniya, seemed to look at her with sad eyes.
Genya was dreaming of such happiness for Saniya, and by this time, Genya wasHe was looking for Jitsuya all by himself.I'm not sure.
He is a brother who was devotedly in love with his brother. How could I not look for him?
You think that you can't be the only one happy after all the horrible things you said to your brother.
Jitsunya sect (of Shin Buddhism)Unable to writeI personally think that even though you can't send a letter because you are a "good person", you should have gone to see how they were doing, even if only for a short time.

You could have done something like watch over them from the shadows.
After joining Genya Onikagetai - Pillar training
Finally, Genya figures out Saneya's existence and enlists him in the Oni-kiri-tai.
Saneya was also aware of Genya's enlistment, and reported at Kumeno's grave, "Our idiot has of all people enlisted in the Onikagiri-tai.
When Genya was born,I will protect this little brother at all times.And a thought,
And the word "murderer" that Genya unleashed,No words can hurt Jitsuya.The following is a list of the most common problems with the
It is my happiness, my wish, and the meaning of life that my brother is alive and happy.
To do so, we need toNo matter how much they hate me, I reject them.I decided to do so.
True to his determination, Genya has"You're no brother of mine, you stupid, breathless bastard."You said.
How did Genya feel at this time?
I knew they had not forgiven me, and that's why they left me behind."
Isn't that how you felt?
Just as Saneya wished for Genya's happiness at all times, Genya also wished for his brother's happiness.
Isn't that why he couldn't use his breath and stayed in his place as an oni-slayer until he ate the demons he hated?
Saneya was hospitalized at the Butterfly House when Genya was injured on a mission.I would sneak out and check on them.It seems that they were doing so.
I'm trying to make them hate me like that,I'm still worried about my brother.I guess we have no choice in the matter.
As for the point about rejection no matter how resentful, the Pillar Training section shows this clearly.
In this scene, he stops his brother and tries to apologize, but is rebuffed, and confesses to being an ogre-eater and attempts to blind him.
Now, let's look at his line again, thinking back to Saneya's thoughts so far.
Don't talk to me like that.
And since you don't have any talent by the looks of it, you should quit the Onikagitai.
Don't call yourself a swordsman if you can't even use your breath.
I really don't care.
"What did you say? What did you just say?"
You ate a demon?
Next, let's translate these lines into our own words based on Jitsuya's feelings so far.
"Please don't talk to them, as it would be unacceptable in front of the other officers."
I am worried about you because this is a very dangerous place. Please quit this place and live happily in a safe place."
He said, "It's really dangerous if you can't use your breathing. Please don't do something that dangerous."
My brother doesn't care about any of that, so forget about him and be happy."
What did you just say? What? Can I ask you one more time?"
Don't eat anything that you don't know what it is. It's dirty.
I guess it goes roughly like this.

The author was after reading the Infinity Castle section that follows, so I heard this side note to Saneya's line....
After this, we have an incident of eye-blindness, but there is no reason why Kazahashira and the others would not notice Sumijiro peeking behind them.
Perhaps he did not foresee that Sumijiro would stop him and went on that rampage?
I think he was hoping that he would just quit out of fear for himself.
In fact, during the pillar practice at the rock pillarI can still smell the importance of Genya from Saneya-san."Sumijiro said.
It was also a scene that reaffirmed that Genya will always be important to Saneya, even in the face of such an outburst.
Infinity Castle Edition
The story of Jitsuya's feelings for Genya is told in the following way.The final battle, "Infinity Castle"This was the case at the
Josen no. 1 "Black Death Mu"Saneya saw Genya's upper and lower body cut in half during a battle with
How dare you carve up my brother?He finally declared Genya to be his brother. I told him that he should have told me earlier instead of being so stubborn.
Here I finally spoke my thoughts to Genya while protecting the fallen Genya with my back to him.
You're a helpless little brother."
I should have stayed somewhere, expanded my family, and lived to be an old man."
You should have made your wife and children happy."
I won't let any demons come there.
I was finally able to tell him about the feelings I have had for Genya since I joined the Onikagitai.
Jitsunya sect (of Shin Buddhism)I will always wish for Genya's happiness and eliminate everything that harms it.And.
Genya heard those words.Sorry, bro.He said.
I'm sorry I didn't know that.
I'm sorry I called you a murderer then.
Did you have various feelings of sorry?
Hearing of his brother's feelings, Genya asked Kasumibashira Tokitoru Muichiro to help him,Eat part of the black death mule and thenOnce again, I fought alongside my brother, my mentor, and Muichiro.
With the desire to protect his brother, he used blood demon techniques to block the movements of the Black Death Mu.
Muichiro was then cut in half horizontally and died.
Genya was cut in half vertically.
When Saneya woke up, lying beside Genya, he found Genya beginning to turn to dust like a demon.
Genya apologized to Saneya, who tried to hug Genya while screaming why his body was falling apart, for what had happened that night.
I have been chasing my brother to apologize for a long time and here I am finally able to apologize.
I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you, and thank you for protecting me."Genya asks, "What do you mean?It's not a nuisance."andDon't die before I do."He said.
I couldn't give up on my brother, so I went after him, and I couldn't use my breathing, and I said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
I want him to quit the dangerous Oni Killing Squad, but his brother, who chased after him, "isn't a nuisance."
Thank you for watching over us from the shadows, coming to our rescue, and "protecting us."
I'm dying right now, and I've hurt you, and you're not protecting me."
You still have a long way to go, and you're not happy, but you're still my brother.Don't die before I do."
This one scene alone shows that the feeling is mutual.
I wanted to protect you like you tried to protect me."
I want my brother to be happy because he has been through a lot."
I don't want you to die."
My brother is the kindest man on earth."
Genya must have been convinced that his brother had not changed based on what he heard from Sumijiro during the pillar training.
For Genya, Saneya has never changed since his childhood."The kindest brother on earth."So it was still the same as before.
Jitsunya sect (of Shin Buddhism)Don't take my brother away from me."I even asked God, who I did not believe in, to help me,
Genya sect (of Shin Buddhism)Thank you."Genya then vanished into dust like a demon.
What remained in Saneya's arms was the squad uniform Genya had been wearing and the same haori he had worn as a child.
That was all.
For Saneya, Genya is "the greatest reason to fight in the Onikagitai."
With that reason gone from his arms, how did Saneya feel about his subsequent battle against Musho?
What thoughts were filled in the voice calling Genya's name as he disappeared?
summary
In the main story, Saneya was always harsh to Genya, but he had a consistent thought that it was all for the sake of his beloved and precious younger brother.
Should we call them quintessential siblings?
It is very sad and brings tears to my eyes that both the brother and the brother thought of each other and tried to protect each other.
Did not Saneya survive after defeating Musho and live to fulfill the same desire to think of Genya and want her to be happy until her death at the end of her bruised life span?
Although only clothes were left of Genya, I have a personal wish that Sumijiro had given Genya's tooth, which he picked up in the swordsmith's village, to Saniya.
The movies will be released one after another starting in the winter, and everyone is sure to cry, so bring your bath towels and cry with us thinking of the Immortal River Brothers.

The author cried so hard as she recalled it while writing this.
Still, I'm surprised that a child who didn't even have a sunken sword was hunting demons.
