Profile

A Shandian guerrilla warrior, named on-page during the assault muster (Ch. 251 p. 12). Minor profile — expand on later appearances.

Identified by Yama as “one of the Shandians’ strong men” (p. 7). Fires iron Vearth bullets — “an unusual bullet… the Varse mineral known as ‘iron’… heavy minerals don’t exist in the clouds” (p. 7), a Vearth-scarcity worldbuilding beat. See Vearth.
Overwhelmed by Yama’s Tenfold Axe / Mountain Axe combo (pp. 9-11) but refuses to die: “There’s no way I’m dying at your hands!!… Bring it, Yama!!” Status at chapter end uncertain (possible first Survival-Game casualty — do NOT mark deceased without confirmation).

Part of the Shandian council that decides to split up before attacking the Heavenly Warriors (p. 13).
INFERENCE: a Heavenly Warrior with an Axe Dial is cut down by one of the splitting Shandians (p. 16); the chapter does not label which Shandian, so this kill is left unattributed.

Named on-page among the Shandian Warriors mustered for Wyper’s all-out assault on the Kami’s temple (p. 12).

ETYMOLOGY: no sourced meaning found. JP reading recorded (ゲンボウ / Genbō). A homophone with the Nara-period monk Genbō (玄昉) is noted in frontmatter as a candidate only (speculative — no source links Oda’s name to him); not asserted in body per the “bad data is worse than no data” rule.
