Personality
Though not much is known of the Genji, he is quite unhinged and cares little for both the lives of civilians or his own clansmen, willing to wildly flaunt his power without regard for human life or his own, using cheap tricks to get the advantage. His blatant blood lust lead him to force Weissman Level over its limit with his Sword of Damocles creating a Damocles Down with the intention of causing a chain reaction of Kings and destroying the country.
