Naoya Zenin (Jujutsu Kaisen)

The Zenin clan no longer existed in the way it once had.

The estate remained, however.

Behind its traditional walls and weathered gates, the grounds stood unnaturally quiet. The familiar presence of a great jujutsu family had been reduced to empty rooms, abandoned training halls, and the lingering traces of cursed energy left behind by generations of sorcerers. The destruction of the clan had come swiftly.

Maki Zenin had walked through the estate and left almost nothing of the old order standing. The clan that had once measured worth through inherited techniques, cursed energy, and bloodline had been torn apart from within. The survivors had scattered, disappeared, or been swallowed by the chaos spreading throughout Japan. And yet, during the Culling Game, the estate still carried weight.

The barriers surrounding the property remained partially intact, old techniques embedded within the land like scars that refused to disappear. The Zenin family had spent generations constructing its grounds to accommodate sorcerers, cursed tools, and the countless secrets accumulated by the clan. Even abandoned, the place remained saturated with remnants of jujutsu. Beyond the estate, Japan had become something else entirely.

Colonies had been established across the country. Ordinary people were trapped within barriers. Sorcerers and awakened players hunted one another for points. Cursed spirits moved through ruined cities while Kenjaku's ancient plan continued to unfold.

The Zenin estate existed outside that chaos only in appearance. Something had begun moving through its empty corridors.

The old wooden floors carried faint disturbances. Dust shifted where no wind reached. Deep within the compound, sealed rooms retained traces of cursed energy that had not belonged to any living Zenin for years.

Among the remnants of the clan's possessions, cursed tools lay untouched. Some had been hidden deliberately. Others had simply been forgotten. The estate had survived its owners.

For the first time in centuries, there was no Zenin hierarchy to maintain, no clan head to obey, and no family standing above the rest of the jujutsu world. Only the remains.

And during the Culling Game, even the remains of a clan like the Zenin could become dangerous.
