Genbu (Japanese: ゲンブ, Genbu, Genbu) is a Titan in 异度神剑 2. Genbu is a large Titan resembling a massive tortoise. It is home to the Kingdom of Tantal, an isolationist state. Genbu features a much colder climate than 其它 Titans, and is the only one known to experience snowfall. However, its arctic-like climate is not natural, as the Kingdom of Tantal needs to sap its 以太 energy to refine core chips for the Indoline Praetorium.

Story
Genbu's time and location of birth are 未知, but the remains of an ancient civilization within it suggest that it is well over a thousand years old. At some point after Artifice Ophion is defeated during the Aegis War, its 魂控 unit - the Omega Fetter - is installed in Genbu's head, allowing the ruler of Tantal to 魂控 Genbu's movements and Pandoria to communicate with it. Genbu spends most of its time under the cloud sea but surfaces when summoned by Pandoria so that the party may enter Tantal, and again when Amalthus brings the Titans up to attack the World Tree. In the end, Genbu becomes a new landmass alongside the 其它 great Titans.
