Naobito vs Naoya Feats: Who Truly Mastered Projection Sorcery?
By James H. Sterling
The power dynamic shifts violently when evaluating Naoya's post-mortem state. Slain without cursed energy by Maki’s mother, Naoya returned in the Sakurajima Colony as a vengeful spirit. Free from the biological limits of human muscle and bone, his cursed biology evolved into an aerodynamic turbine-shell hybrid.
Cursed Spirit Naoya solved the structural limitation of Projection Sorcery by incorporating mechanical air compression. Drawing air through intake vents and expelling it through internal cursed energy propulsion, he accelerated to Mach 3 speed.
At three times the speed of sound, the force of his impacts obliterated landscape topography, rendering conventional visual tracking impossible for any sorcerer lacking supernatural sensory enhancements.
Furthermore, this cursed iteration realized what no previous Zenin managed: Domain Expansion: Time Cell Moon Palace.
Inside this domain, the 24 frames per second rule operates at the cellular level. Any creature moving within the barrier must synchronize their individual cells to the technique's cadence. The moment a target moves while failing to match the frame rate, their cellular bonds shear apart, tearing muscle tissue and organs internally. Had human Naobito faced Cursed Spirit Naoya, the father would have been decisively outgunned in pure velocity and crushed by the cellular domain.
