Personality

Naobito's an arrogant drunk who embodies the twisted, traditionalist values of the Zen'in 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. Additionally, in spite of Gojō Satoru's importance to the world, Naobito's proudly said he wouldn't mind seeing the fall of his clan. Throughout all the battles, he had an arrogant grin the entire mission while taunting his allies and enemies alike. Naobito's known to be frequently drunk and will even openly ask for "booze." He's often seen with a gourd to drink from and Nanami Kento went as far as to question whether he'd 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.
  • His hobby is watching anime. Naobito's knowledgeable about how anime is made because of his hobby. Originally, his technique is derived from the video medium and cameras. The brush up from film to 24-frame anime happened during Naobito’s generation.
  • His favorite dish is alcohol, specifically Japanese rice wine.
  • His least favorite dish is pounded fishcake.
  • His cause of stress is the Gojō family.
  • The reason he wasn't saving civilians during the Shibuya Incident is because he has no interest in ordinary people. He didn't get too involved in the Shibuya incident because he doesn’t get along well with Gojō family.
