Though Genda does not appear in-game, he is mentioned in Kaito's memory points.
- In Memories of Matsugane-san and Genda-sensei, Kaito examines a table in Genda Law Office and reflects on how Genda said that he and Matsugane were "Brothers-In-Arms". He then reflects on how Matsugane said he got into a lot of fights when he was younger, implying he and Genda fought alongside each other. This unlocks the Hammer of Will.
