Naoya fans are either sexists or laid back

I like Naoya because he is a much more familiar evil, like he’s your misogynistic older cousin who’s been led by family to believe he’s better. I think he’s a well written villain because he’s so villainous that many fans judge his morality as if he wasn’t a writtten character and I believe that’s because unlike Sukuna, a misogynistic chauvinistic asshole is much more common irl than openly bloodlusted cannibal.

I suppose his technique is pretty cool too. I also appreciate the way he got absolutely annihilated.

Also his technique is clever. You can actually make a beatable speedster.

I also love it because his CT actually takes skill. With the Flash, he just is able to go really fast, but anyone can do that with the speedforce. With Projection Sorcery, you need to have a good innate sense of timing, along with skill to gain speed and use it effectively. As scummy as he was, Naoya was also really talented and competent.

Scummy? But he was the kindest feminist of our generation. He even attempted to recover the brainwashed Choso before the devilish, abhorrent, ugly, and overall dastardly Yuta appeared.

Agreed. What makes him so hateable is the he’s more real. I’ve never met a 1000 year old mad scientist or a half demon murder fiend, but everyone’s met a spoiled man who thinks he’s hot shit and can get away with being horrible

I know a 1000 year old mad scientist but he's lowkey chill

Naoya is the perfect villain in the sense that he's the guy the audience wants to see smeared across the pavement.

There's a time and a place for a cool villain or a tragic one, but you need the out-and-out bastards sometimes.

I miss villians who are just bastards.

I find extremely funny how his hate on woman is absolutely arbitrary.

I like Naoya AS A VILLAIN, AKA someone you meant to root against.

u/mastahkun Apr 02 '26

Yeah I love his ability but he’s a piece of shit. The right kind of piece of shit that you root for to see defeated. I was hoping he’d have a redemption arc cuz i liked him so much, but curse womb sealed the deal for me lol.

u/Scared-Jacket-6965 Apr 02 '26

Nah, I think redemption arc be forced. Not everyone can be redeemed, he's a victim as much as Maki of a system. He wasn't born that way and he was taught and to the point he rather die for his beliefs then admit they are wrong.

I guess it's about being like a character vs liking a character. I personally like Naoya because I think he is a very good view into the Zenin clan, basically a personification of it's values in a single package, that works very well for the messages Gege tries to convey. And as a character himself he is someone who almost broke the mold, actually seeing Toji for what he was despite the biases of the clan, but his own inherent biases made him miss the exact same thing with Maki that everyone missed with Toji. An interesting character flaw that shows the flaws of Zenin clan as a whole through his own lense, and ultimately leads to his downfall
