Understanding the complex relationships within the Zenin Clan from Jujutsu Kaisen can be challenging. With multiple generations, outcasts, and secretive units, it’s hard to keep track of who is related to whom. To make things clearer, I decided to create a Zenin family tree using MakeFamilyTree.org, a free and easy-to-use online tool that helps visualize the clan structure.

Why a Zenin Family Tree is Helpful

The Zenin Clan is one of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, known for its strict hierarchy, obsession with cursed techniques, and internal political conflicts. Characters like Naobito Zenin, Naoya Zenin, Maki Zenin, Megumi Fushiguro, and Toji Fushiguro play key roles, but understanding their relationships at a glance can be difficult.

Creating a Zenin family tree allows fans to clearly see how mainline members, outcasts, and distant relatives are connected, making it easier to follow their stories and the clan’s structure.

Creating the Zenin Family Tree with MakeFamilyTree.org

1. Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Interface

MakeFamilyTree.org provides a simple drag-and-drop interface, making it easy to place each character in the right position. From clan head Naobito to distant relatives like Tsurugi and Yuka Okkotsu, I could quickly arrange nodes and adjust connections, creating a clear and organized Zenin family tree.

2. Highlighting Family Units and Branches

I divided the Zenin Clan into key subgroups:

  • The Hei: The strongest sorcerers, including Naoya and other semi-grade 1 members.
  • Kukuru Unit: Male members without innate cursed techniques.
  • Akashi: Cursed technique users who don’t qualify for The Hei.

By visually separating these units, the Zenin family tree clearly illustrates the clan’s hierarchy and distribution of power.

3. Including Outcasts and Rebels

Outcasts like Toji Fushiguro, Megumi Fushiguro, and Maki Zenin were placed on a separate branch to show their estrangement from the mainline members. This makes it easier to understand how family politics and personal choices influence the story.

4. Visual Storytelling

Adding avatars or images for each character turns the Zenin family tree into more than just a diagram—it becomes a storytelling canvas. Seeing Maki and Mai side by side, or tracing Megumi’s lineage back to Toji, instantly clarifies character relationships.

Benefits of a Zenin Family Tree

  • Quickly understand character relationships and generational hierarchy.
  • Track internal conflicts, inheritance, and clan politics.
  • See the placement of outcasts, rebels, and distant relatives in context.
  • Serve as a reference for fan guides, discussions, or fan art projects.

Final Thoughts

Creating a Zenin family tree on MakeFamilyTree.org was both fun and educational. It helped me better understand the story, the internal clan structure, and visualize complex character relationships in a simple and interactive way.

Whether you are a Jujutsu Kaisen fan, a cosplayer, or someone who enjoys mapping fictional families, a Zenin family tree is an excellent tool for making sense of complex lineages.
