'''Genbu''', also known as '''Gui Xian''' and '''Xuan Wu''', is a [[demon]] in the series.

==History==
The Xuan Wu, also known as Black Tortoise of the North, Black Warrior or simply the {{w|Black Tortoise}} is one of the {{w|Four Symbols (Chinese constellation)|Four Symbols of the Chinese Constellation}} (''Si Xiang'') along with [[Seiryu|Qing Long]], [[Suzaku|Zhu Que]] and [[Byakko|Bai Hu]]. It represents the north, the color black, winter and the water element. It is usually depicted as both a tortoise and a snake, specifically with the snake coiling around the tortoise. It is sometimes called the Black Tortoise of the North and is also known as Genbu in Japanese, Huyền Vũ in Vietnamese and Hyeonmu or Hyunmoo in Korean. 

In ancient China, the tortoise and the serpent were thought to be spiritual creatures symbolizing longevity. The Fujianese custom of building turtle-shaped tombs may have had to do with the desire to place the grave under the influence of the Black Tortoise.

'''Gui Xian''' (龜仙) is sometimes used instead though this is a misnomer due to "Gui" belonging to a different concept of the Chinese {{w|four benevolent animals}} (''Si Ling'' or ''Ssu-Ling''). The creature's name is identical to that of the important Taoist god Xuanwu, who is sometimes (as in Journey to the West) portrayed in the company of a turtle and a snake.

===''Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner''===
After defeating [[Ananta]] in the final floors of the [[Karma Temple]], the [[Embryon]] can come down from the tower and find out four powerful demons have taken over several sectors of the Junkyard. Gui Xian appears in [[Anahata]]. The Asura Gui Xian is a woman who follows the orders of Huang Long. The battle is quite simple as long as Gui Xian is not hit by Earth spells, either the Embryon's or her own, as they will greatly heal her. Genbu's two heads keep on bickering through the battle.

Gui Xian gets three turns per round and the fight is typically played out in three stages. In the initial stage, Gui Xian will only use light damaging skills. After more bickering, the second stage will begin and they will instead begin casting Magic Repel every round and switch to mid-tier attacks. After trying to let the party off with a "warning," the party will appear to insist to keep fighting and Gui Xian will not seem too enthused; this begins the final stage. Gui Xian will keep throwing up Magic Repel and switch to heavy damage attacks in addition to using Rage for extra turns.

One problem faced when fighting Gui Xian comes from their extremely high resistance to Physical and Gun attacks, almost nulling them completely. Once the second stage starts and Magic Repel comes into play it becomes difficult to damage them without access to some form of Almighty-based attack. However, if the party casts so much as a single -kaja skill, Gui Xian will start another conversation in which they accuse the party of taking cheap shots. Casting a -kaja skill every round with the character with the weakest magic stat will allow for two magic damage dealers to keep attacking, since Gui Xian will use Dekaja instead of Magic Repel every time.

===''Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2''===
{{Q|One of the Ssu Ling, celestial creatures in Chinese lore. The Four beasts were divided equally throughout the land to protect the five emperors in ancient China. There is even a mural depiction of them in the Kitora Tomb in Japan. Gui Xian, the turtle, is protector of the north and represents the season of winter. It gives guidance based on the future it foresee and will even fight against evil in the guise of a human.|''Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2'' compendium}}
