Naobito Zenin

## Introduction

Naobito is an arrogant drunk who embodies the twisted, traditionalist values of the Zenin Family. He views his nieces far below their worth as human beings because they were born with a lack of cursed energy. The clan still refuses to recognize Maki despite her skills and actively tries to keep her from getting promoted. Naobito himself threatened to make Mai's life difficult on the day Maki chose to leave the clan. Naobito is known to be frequently drunk and will even openly ask for "booze". He's often seen with a gourd to drink from and Nanami went as far as to question whether he had been drinking on a mission based on Maki's comment. Regardless, Naobito didn't take part in the beginning stages of the Shibuya Incident, electing to take a nap rather than fighting transfigured humans with Maki. The special grade 1 sorcerer appeared to only have an interest in stronger opponents like Dagon. There were several exchanges where Naobito engaged in playful banter with the cursed spirit despite being in the middle of a fight.

## Character Details

As the head of the Zenin clan and a special grade 1 sorcerer up until his death, Naobito was a highly regarded fighter throughout the jujutsu world. His mastery of Projection Sorcery coupled with his martial skill and knack for strategic timing earned him recognition as the fastest jujutsu sorcerer outside of Satoru Gojo. Naobito was shown to be capable of effortlessly overpowering Dagon, a special grade cursed spirit in close quarters combat throughout the beginning of their battle, despite Dagon possessing far more cursed energy and cursed techniques than himself. He was more that fast enough to save Maki from certain death when one of her attacks on Dagon failed while also outperforming Nanami, a fellow grade 1 sorcerer throughout the initial stages of their fight. Naobito showcases substantial battle intellect, reading Dagon's progression throughout the fight and using his own abilities to create openings for Maki and Nanami to the point that Dagon was unable to properly react. Preventing him from unleashing any of his techniques and prompting Dagon to openly recognize Naobito as his strongest adversary. Naobito employs the speed granted by his innate technique in tandem with his martial arts ability with masterful skill. He engages adversaries at close combat, crushing his opponents with rapid-fire punches and devastating kicks among other immensely fast.

**Notable Techniques/Abilities:**

* **Projection Sorcery:**This technique allows the user to divide one second into twenty-four frames and trace a predetermined set of movements to execute in that second. It uses the user's field of view as the projection angle of view. While Projection Sorcery is active, anything touched by Naobito's palm must abide by the 24FPS as well or they will get frozen for one second inside an animation frame. Naobito uses this technique to appear to move faster than the eye can see in addition to freezing any adversaries that can't keep up with his speed.
* **Falling Blossom Emotion**: A secret art and an anti-domain technique. In contrast to Simple Domain, which casts its own barrier, Falling Blossom Emotion counters an enemy domain's guaranteed hit with cursed energy the moment it makes contact.
