Naoya Zenin

Naoya Zenin is a major antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen, serving as a Special Grade 1 sorcerer and the egotistical, misogynistic leader of the elite Hei force within the Zenin Clan. He is the son of Naobito Zenin, inheriting the elite Projection Sorcery technique, and acts as a minor villain who despises Maki and Mai Zenin. Key Aspects of Naoya Zenin: Personality: Deeply misogynistic, narcissistic, and arrogant. He believes women should walk three steps behind men and despises anyone he considers weaker than himself. Abilities: He uses Projection Sorcery to divide one second into 24 frames, moving at extreme speeds and freezing opponents who fail to match his movements. Goals: He aimed to become the head of the Zenin clan, which led to his obsession with killing Megumi Fushiguro and eventually Maki Zenin for destroying his family. Admiration: He idolizes Toji Fushiguro and Satoru Gojo, desiring to stand alongside them in terms of strength. Role/Fate: He embodies the corrupt, old guard of the jujutsu world. Following his death, he returns as a powerful Vengeful Cursed Spirit during the Culling Game arc before being killed again by Maki. Naoya is considered a "character everyone loves to hate," with his ideologies often being ironically dismantled by the very people he despises.
