Who is Zenin in Jujutsu Kaisen
Zenin is one of the big three clans in the series who play a pivotal role in the Jujutsu world and even outside it as they have significant influence over Japan, including political prominence.
As for the Jujutsu world, the Zenin and the other two from the big three clans, the Gojo and the Kamo, decide everything that happens. From the selection of principals for the two Jujutsu Highs to the head of the Jujutsu Headquarters and so on.
The Zenin clan in Jujutsu Kaisen is more combat-oriented as they only value people, including their family members, based on their power, especially sorcery. Since we are on this topic, you should know about the two main sorcery the Zenin clan possess, the Ten Shadows Technique and the Projection Sorcery.
The Ten Shadows Technique is one of the celebrated heredity of the Zenin clan, which is understandable as it is an ability that can go toe to toe with the Six Eyes of the Gojo Clan. There are even mentions of the past battle between a Ten Shadows Technique user from the Zenin clan and the Six Eyes user from the Gojo clan, which resulted in the death of both.
We don’t want to spoil much about the current state of the Zenin clan. But we will say that during the Itadori’s Termination Arc, which will be covered in Season 3 of the anime, we will see Maki Zenin annihilate the entire Zenin clan in the wake of the actions of her father, Ogi Zenin and other members.
