Ogi Zenin (禪院 (ぜんいん) (おうぎ) Zen'in Ōgi?) is an antagonist in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is the brother of Naobito Zenin and father of Maki and Mai Zenin. Ogi serves as one of the antagonists of the Perfect Preparation Arc.

Appearance

Ogi was a slim elderly man with slicked black hair tied into a long ponytail and white eyes with black sclera that are always seen closed. Ogi's attire consist of a white shitagi, a white kosode and black hakama with white socks in zori sandals.

Personality

Ogi leaves his daughters for dead

Ogi leaving his twin daughters for dead.

Ogi was a resolute but very self-centered elder who put little value on his immediate family. He cared only about his own status within the Zenin clan. He disliked being mocked and even attacked his nephew Naoya Zenin for being excessively disrespectful.[1]

He has a very cynical, traditionalist mindset. Ogi didn't seem to have any real respect for his wife and had no compassion for his children whatsoever. This stems from the fact that Maki and Mai were born untalented in the realm of jujutsu.

Apparently, Ogi has only ever been perceived as inferior to Naobito in one fact, the quality of their children. Ogi believes his daughters were the reason he wasn't chosen to become head of the family. He doesn't value them at all and even resents both of them. In order to gain favor with the jujutsu higher-ups, he volunteered to frame his own children and execute them personally.[2]

After attacking his own daughters, Ogi was only brought to tears by the recollection that he was unable to achieve this goal.[3] Ogi even stated that children shouldn't hold their parents back and tried to leave the girls for dead, calling them a stain on his life.[4]

Abilities and Powers

Overview

Ogi counters Maki's attack

Ogi successfully counters Maki and defeats her in their duel.

Overall Skill: Ogi is ranked special grade 1[5] and believes himself to be equal to Naobito in terms of ability as a sorcerer.[6] In a straightforward honest one-on-one duel with Maki, Ogi was able to overcome her original heavenly restricted physical prowess with his skill in jujutsu. Ogi believed Maki's strength was nothing special when compared to sorcerers that reinforce their muscles with cursed energy.[7] Doing so to his own body allowed Ogi to move incredibly fast in a 180-degree motion. Ogi was able to turn around completely and slashed Maki down in one motion, instantly defeating her.[8]

When facing Maki after she gained power similar to Toji's, Ogi immediately went all out with his cursed technique. However, he was no match for Maki and was effortlessly cut down.[9]

Intelligence

High Tactical Intellect: It was Ogi's idea to frame Megumi, Maki, and Mai for trying to unseal Satoru Gojo, displaying his devious and calculating mind. He predicted Maki would return to the Zenin clan for weapons and emptied the cursed warehouse of all cursed tools ahead of time. His caution also led him to think ahead and leave Mai incapacitated to use as a hostage in case his duel with Maki went sideways.[10]

Physical Prowess

Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: Ogi wields a katana and swordplay is his main form of combat. He excels at single-strike attacks, able to unsheathe his blade and attack in an instant. When disrespected by Naoya, Ogi was able to have his blade at his nephew's throat moments later.[11] He was also more than willing to engage Maki in a single-strike duel.[12] However, Ogi considers himself a sorcerer over a swordsman and reinforces his swordplay with his cursed technique.[13] After Maki broke his blade, Ogi replaced his katana with the flames of his Blazing Courage technique.[14]

Cursed Technique

Innate Technique
Blazing Courage ( (しょう) 眉之 (びの) (きゅう) Shōbi no Kyū?): This technique allows the user to eject flames from their weapon. Ogi uses this technique with his katana, being capable of both ejecting fire to replace the broken blade[3] and intensifying it to make the flames deadlier.[15]
Anti-Domain Techniques
Falling Blossom Emotion ( (らっ) () (じょう) Rakka no Jō?): Normally employed as an anti-domain countermeasure, this technique can also be applied to swordplay. Not only does it shroud Ogi in cursed energy, but his katana is as well. This allows the blade to automatically strike anything the cursed energy comes into contact with.[16]

Equipment

Cursed Tools
Katana: Ogi carries a katana along with himself all the time. He is able to use this in combination with his cursed techniques. During the clash against his daughter, the katana blade was broken. However, he was able to replace the broken blade with his Blazing Courage technique.[3]
