Naoya zenin

Naoya Zenin is a major antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen, appearing as the arrogant, misogynistic, and immensely powerful youngest son of Naobito Zenin. As a Special Grade 1 sorcerer and head of the elite "Hei" unit, he wields Projection Sorcery and views himself as the rightful, genius heir to the Zenin clan, deeply admiring Toji Fushiguro. Personality and Views: Naoya is portrayed as highly narcissistic, egotistical, and misogynistic, infamously believing women should walk behind men or be stabbed in the back. He looks down on anyone he deems weak, particularly Maki Zenin. Abilities: He uses Projection Sorcery, which allows him to divide one second into 24 frames and pre-determine his movements, resulting in extreme speed and power. Role in Story: He actively sought to kill Megumi Fushiguro to secure his position as clan head. After being defeated by Maki Zenin, he eventually returned as a Vengeful Cursed Spirit. Relationship with Others: He holds immense respect for Toji Zenin and, by extension, Satoru Gojo. He acts as an archenemy to Maki Zenin. Naoya serves as a foil to Maki, representing the toxic traditionalism of the Zenin clan, and is considered a well-written, albeit despised, villain in the series.
