Koyoharu Gotouge has created some extremely fascinating elements inDemon Slayer. But one of them has to be Genya’s power of demon consumption. This foul-mouthed demon slayer could be a loner, but his spirit to battle has won everyone over.
Genya’s first transformation made fans yelp in surprise and his powers were too good to be true. His lack of breathing style is compensated by eating the flesh of the demons he battles. But can he really digest the meat of all demons? Or is Muzan an exception?
Muzan’s Poisonous Blood inDemon Slayer
It is well-known that Muzan’s blood has special properties that can cause havoc on humans. His blood also hasspecial abilitieslike immortality, accelerated growth and regeneration, Blood Demon Arts, and more. In fact, Muzan oftenempowers the demonsunder his command by giving them his blood. This enhances their pre-existing skills and strength.
However, his blood is also fatal to both humans and demons if taken without supervision. If a human takes too much blood from Muzan, they would self-destruct due to extremely fast mutation. The same effect applies to demons as well if they consume his blood beyond their capacity.

Muzan often weaponized his own blood and coated his whips with it to damage his opponents. Since his blood is too potent, even small dosages can kill people. Kokushibo later implied that those who practice Total Concentration Breathing or have awakened the Demon Slayer Markcan resistthe blood’s destructive abilities to some extent.
What if Genya Consumed Muzan’s Flesh?
Genya has previously consumed the flesh of Kokushibo and Hantengu and each time he gained tremendous demonic power. In fact, he could even hear Muzan’s orders. Genya gains the attributes of the demons he consumes and each time he consumes the flesh of a demon, he gains more power. But can he really bite off a chunk of Muzan and still be fine?
Fan theorieswildly swing from one opinion to another on the matter. On one side, people believe that Muzan’s blood is too toxic for Genya to consume and stay alive. On the other hand, many claim that Genya has gained enough resistance to the toxic demon blood.

Genya’s body hasprobably developedan affinity to demon blood and has already built up his resistance to demons like Kokushibo and Hantengu. He might also be able to accept Muzan’s blood without his body self-destructing itself. If Genya can consume the blood of an Upper Moon demon, which is also super concentrated, he might also be able to handle Muzan’s flesh.
Assuming that Genya survives after drinking Muzan’s blood, he would probably get as strong as a Hashira or even an Upper Moon. However, there is also a high possibility of Muzan possessing him and taking full control over his body. The demons Genya had consumed till now did not have any power over their blood, but Muzan could control it completely. Muzan has the power to control the flesh of anyone who has consumed his blood.
