Genma's ability allows him to form defensive or offensive weapons, through the construction of an entire or partial suit of armor, created out of a variety of materials. To do so he must firstly make physical contact with the object he wishes to manipulate. He tends to favour materials such as metal and concrete, effectively employing their resistive properties to substantially enhance his own defensive capabilities, to the extent that protecting from bullets is of little hassle.

Genma Shizume (鎮目弦馬, Shizume Genma), a contractor and member of the Japanese Government's Section 3.

Personality

Genma, in contrast to Mina and much like his second mission partner, Youko, is a Contractor with a rather jovial disposition. He is often at odds with Mina, who sees him to be a pervert among other things, but he doesn't tend to mind much.

Ability

Shizuma Genma's Power

Genma demonstrating his abilities

Genma's ability allows him to form defensive or offensive weapons, through the construction of an entire or partial suit of armor, created out of a variety of materials. To do so he must firstly make physical contact with the object he wishes to manipulate. He tends to favour materials such as metal and concrete, effectively employing their resistive properties to substantially enhance his own defensive capabilities, to the extent that protecting from bullets is of little hassle.

This form of manipulation also possesses offensive augmentations, by dramatically increasing the impactive force of his punches, to where they can easily crush an opponent.

The obeisance required is so far unknown but from the third episode, it may possibly be some form of incense related aromatherapy or a kind of moxibustion, as he is observed lying down as Mina and Youko light numerous piles of incense upon his back.

Role in story

Genma briefly appears in the first episode, tapping into the conversation between July, April and August 7 along with the rest of his team. He reappears soon after Mina retreats from her battle with Hei, and is almost immediately kissed by Mina, as her remuneration requires it. Genma doesn't mind, but is stung by Mina's remark of washing his taste out when asked why she kissed Youko.

He later runs into Suou, on the run, and attempts to take her with him, but she refuses and runs away, having Pechya attack him and throwing a garbage can over his head beforehand, giving her enough time to escape. Genma calls her a 'troublesome girl' soon afterwards. He follows Hei and Suou's trail later, and runs into a group of Russian soldiers led by Gozlov, and he massacres them using a suit of improvised armor made from his Contractor ability made of pipes and rubble, killing Gozlov last.

In the third episode, he and Mina attempt to capture Hei after Youko activates immobilizing drones, but they overload and Suou escapes with Hei. They fail to capture him, but Genma nonetheless finishes off the barely alive August 7. He is later seen with Mina and Youko undergoing some sort of aromatherapy, possibly his obeisance, once more irritating Mina. At the station, he commandeers a runaway train, which slams into another and causes a giant fuel explosion. He is later disarmed when Suou fires at him, blocking the bullet just in time with gauntlets created from steel siphoned from another train.

He is later seen in the company of Mina, Youko and a man who calls himself Kobayashi at Section 3's headquarters, introducing himself to Misaki, who is under the alias of Ichinose Yayoi. He is the one who gives her a wanted poster of Hei, alerting her even further to his continued presence.

His next outstanding appearance is when he faces off against Hei, using an entire truck as makeshift armor, and handily repelling Hei's attacks. It is also in this fight that he clues Hei in on the true nature of Izanami, mentioning "a certain Doll" to be related to it. After Hei escapes the fight by hitching a ride on a civilian car, Genma tries to pursue him, but, to his despair, notices that the truck is worthless for chasing him.

He is later seen trying to rescue Youko when she is kidnapped by Hei. Genma chases him by truck, but fails to reach him when a plane passes directly in front of him.
