The action continued for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 14 and this time, the anime showed viewers the sheer power of the Zenin Clan leader. Naobito Zenin finally joined the action and interestingly, his Projection Sorcery Technique proved that he deserved to be the head of his clan during the Shibuya Incident arc!
In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 14, Kento Nanami joined Naobito and Maki Zenin to inform them about Satoru Gojo being sealed. As they look for an exit in Shibuya Station, they encounter a seemingly harmless Cursed Spirit. Naobito quickly engages Dagon, who rapidly evolves into its higher form.
Although Dagon is shown to be stronger, Naobito clearly delights in taking on the Cursed Spirit, showing off his Projection Sorcery Technique to toy with his opponent.
What is Projection Sorcery Technique?
Projection Sorcery, an inherited Zenin Clan technique wielded by Naobito Zenin and later passed down to his youngest son, Naoya, operates by tracking motion at 24 frames per second. It captures rule-breakers within a single frame for one second. During that brief moment, the user can trace and execute a predefined sequence of actions within those frames. This results in the user appearing to move at an exceptional speed, making it nearly impossible for even special-grade curses to keep up.
While the technique is active, anything the user's palm contacts must adhere to the '24 FPS' rule during its motion. Failure to do so results in the target's immobilization and freezing within an animation frame for one second. Despite the brevity, this ability offers a significant advantage in combat, rendering the target susceptible to attacks during their vulnerable moment.
Can Naobito's Projection Sorcery defeat Dagon?
Although Naobito appeared to have the upper hand at first, Dagon quickly changed that by taking the sorcerers into its deceptively summery Domain which is populated with flesh-eating fish shikigami. It might all be too much for Naobito, who loses an arm as the sorcerers desperately try to defeat Dagon.
As it turns out, Dagon is not the only thing they have to worry about. Just as Megumi Fushiguro creates an opening in the Domain, a familiar face enters to join the fight.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 14 is now streaming on Crunchyroll and selected regions for Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. The next episode, titled Fluctuations Part 2 ("Yoto - 2") is scheduled to begin streaming on November 2, 2023.
