GenMui

GenMui is the slash ship between Genya Shinazugawa and Muichiro Tokito from the Demon Slayer fandom.

Canon
In the fight against Kokushibo, Muichiro forms his Demon Slayer Mark, and unleashes his original Mist Breathing: Seventh Form - Obscuring Clouds. After a few attacks, Kokushibo slices Muichiro's hand off. Muichiro quickly stops the bleeding, and continues to fight. Kokushibo is impressed, but stabs Muichiro's sword through his shoulder. Meanwhile, Genya was hiding behind a curtain, with his shotgun and nichirin blade. Genya tries to attack Kokushibo, but is quickly cut into slices. Muichiro shouts out his name, and tries to take out the sword, but fails. Kokushibo is then blocked by Sanemi, Genya's brother and the Wind Hashira.

While Sanemi and Gyomei are fighting Upper Rank 1, Muichiro and Genya both want to help fight. Muichiro eventually rips his sword out of his shoulder, but knows he only has a few hours left to live. Muichiro ties up his wounds with cloth, and wants to help Gyomei and Sanemi the best he can, but Genya screams his name, telling him to grab the Upper Rank 1's hair, so he can consume it and become stronger. Muichiro does as he says, and feeds him the hair. Genya says he wants to help his brother any way he can. Genya also helps patch Muichiro's wounds. Both of them die after this fight.

They are both close in age, with only a two-year age difference. Genya is two years older than Muichiro. Their birthdays are 214 days away, with Genya's being on the first of January, and Muichiro's being on August 8th. Both demon slayers have a kind personality hidden beneath a shell of anger (Genya) or apathy (Muichiro). They are both associated with Tanjiro, as the Kamado was the one to have brought each of them out of their respective shells. Muichiro quickly became a Hashira in mere months of training, but Genya had only just joined the Demon Slayer Corps as per the events of the manga. They both also have a brother, although Muichiro's twin is already long-dead.

Fanon
GenMui started to grow quite some fans due to many people liking this ship, however the ship is still oevrshadowed by many others in the fandom. GenMui is mostly shipped romantically, but many people just prefer them as friends, This ship commonly rivals MuiTan, GenTan, and MuiKo. Most fanfics revolving around the two depicit them in AUs where they are still alive or set before the Infinity Castle Arc for them to get to know each other better. Other fanfics describe their battle against the Upper Rank 1, and how they lost together. GenMui has a lot of potential for angst fics due to this.
