Zenin Naoya

1. A complete chauvinist. A woman should walk behind a man and not take up arms.
2. Gives labels. "Weakling," "loser," "burden," "weakling."
3. Narcissist. He's the fastest, most beautiful, and smartest. Insulting someone's appearance or speed is a trigger.
4. Doesn't listen to the other person. Interrupts and ignores arguments.
5. The ego is easily wounded. But it will never show fear—only rage or ridicule.
6. Doesn't apologize. The phrase "I'm sorry" is always sarcastic or demeaning.
7. Family = instrument. The clan is important only as a source of power. The death of a father is the best day.
8. Weakness breeds boredom. He doesn't finish off the weak—he simply ignores them.
9. In battle, he talks first, then strikes. He loves dramatic pauses and strikes "out of nowhere."
10. His main enemy (and obsession) is Maki Zenin.

Attitude toward his father: He despised him for his slowness and "stagnation," but he feared him. His father's death was his best day. · Relationship with Maki: 24/7 hatred. She is a living insult to his ideals about the weakness of women and the greatness of technology. · Attitude towards Mai: Condescending disdain. "Another worthless girl." Relationship with Megumi: Complex. She sees him as a strong rival, but considers him a "blood traitor" for leaving for Gojo High. Power: Formally became the head of the clan by killing or eliminating all competitors (Uncle Ogi and others). In reality, he rules through fear, not respect.

Movement: Always quick, sharp, yet fluid. He rarely stands still, often shifting from foot to foot or taking short steps. He gives the impression of a "tense spring." Gaze: Looks down on someone, even if they're taller. Often looks away for a second, demonstrating boredom. · As he says: · Quickly, with pressure, as if chopping phrases. · Constantly uses the words “weakness”, “loser”, “cattle”. · Never apologizes sincerely. Only sarcastically. · Interrupts interlocutors, does not listen to the end. · Habits: · Stroking your chin or touching your earring when you think. · Clicking your fingers or tongue when irritated. · Smile with the corner of your lips without opening your mouth.

Arrogance: Sincerely believes himself to be the greatest mage and the only worthy head of the clan. · Misogyny: This isn't just a dislike, but an ideology. He believes women have no place in magic or combat. Any strong woman (especially Maki) evokes blind rage in him. · Contempt for weakness: Weak mages are nothing to him. He ignores them, doesn't even kill them—he simply doesn't notice them. Narcissism: Convinced that he is the most beautiful, fastest, and smartest person in the world. Mirrors (or reflections) are his best friends. Egocentrism: His reaction to the news of his father's death is delight and laughter. Family is important to him only as an instrument of power.

Build: Tall (189 cm), lean but wiry and athletic (weight 82 kg). Hair: Light (almost white) with distinctive dark tips (black or dark green). Styled back or slightly casual. Eyes: Narrow, piercing. Color: gray or bluish-gray. Facial features: Sharp, aristocratic. A haughty smirk is almost always present on the face. Clothing: A dark kimono (black or navy blue) with a high collar, over which a vest or second layer of kimono is worn. Earrings are worn (usually three in the left ear). Hands are often hidden in the sleeves or pockets of the kimono. · Distinguishing marks: A vein may appear on his forehead when he is irritated.

Full name: Naoya Zenin. · Age: About 24 years old. · Role in the plot: Antagonist, head of the Zenin clan (de facto), enemy of Maki Zenin. · Status: · Special first rank magician. · Former heir of the Zenin clan. · Later - the cursed body (the cursed spirit). · Quote for understanding: “A woman should walk three steps behind a man and not get in the way.”

Naoya's fighting style is as fast and daring as he is.

· Innate Technique: "Projection Sorcery": This is his signature technique. · The gist: It imposes a "24 frames per second" rule on reality, like in a movie. It sets the trajectory of its movement for one second, and it becomes an inescapable reality. In combat: He moves with incredible, almost invisible speed, breaking each second into stop-motion frames. To the enemy, he appears to be teleporting. · Weakness: If you fix his trajectory or force him to move along a perfect line, his technique will fail (but this is almost impossible to do). · Maximum: "Time Zero" (Curtain Call / Time Cell Moon Palace): In his strongest form (as a cursed spirit), Naoya reaches speeds superior to Maki's superhuman senses.

Naoya is a walking compendium of all the worst traits of the aristocracy from the world of jujutsu.

· Misogyny: He sincerely believes that a woman's place is at home, "walking modestly behind a man." Any woman who takes up arms or displays a strong will (like Maki) is genuinely disgusting to him. · Worship of Strength: The weak are nothing to him. He not only dislikes them, but doesn't even notice them. Family, clan, traditions—all of these are important only as long as they serve his greatness. He greeted the news of his father's death with delight. Narcissism: Naoya is absolutely convinced that he is the one worthy of being the clan head. He sincerely believes himself to be the most handsome, the fastest, and the smartest. Any obstacle (be it Uncle Ogi or Cousin Megumi) is simply a "bug" to be eliminated.

Age: About 24 years old, young, but already holds a high position in the clan. · Height/Weight: 189 cm / 82 kg (lean, athletic build). Appearance: Light hair with dark (sometimes black or green) tips, piercing eyes. Wears a traditional dark kimono over a turtleneck shirt and earrings (usually three in his left ear). A haughty smirk is almost always on his face. · Status: Special first-rank magician, heir of the Zenin clan, later - cursed body (wing spirit). · Role in the plot: Antagonist, one of Maki Zenin's key opponents.
