Bandai’s Latest Jujutsu Kaisen Merch Features One of Naoya Zen’in’s Most Famous Lines
The Jujutsu Kaisen franchise continues to expand its unique merchandise lineup with a new release focused on one of the series’ most polarizing antagonists.
Pre-orders have officially begun for the Jujutsu Kaisen “Don’t You Have a Human Heart?” Room Shoes, a pair of blue slippers that feature the likeness of Naoya Zen’in and one of his most famous quotes.
This product captures the essence of Naoya Zen’in, a key character from the Zen’in clan known for his arrogant demeanor and complex relationship with his cousin, Maki Zen’in.
The design prominently displays Naoya’s face alongside the text “Don’t you have a human heart?”, a biting line he delivers to Maki during a pivotal confrontation.
Jujutsu Kaisen, created by Gege Akutami, has become a global phenomenon, following Yuji Itadori and a generation of Jujutsu Sorcerers as they battle against Curses in modern-day Japan.
The “Culling Game” arc represents a major turning point in the series, introducing a deadly battle royale orchestrated by the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku, where new and old characters are forced to fight for survival.
Naoya plays a significant antagonist role during this period, particularly in the internal power struggles of the Zen’in clan, and his memorable dialogue has made him a favorite subject for fan discussion and memes.
Bandai’s product description leans into this characterization with the tagline “Walk three steps behind with these practical room shoes that offer excellent comfort,” a tongue-in-cheek reference to Naoya’s traditionalist and misogynistic views expressed in the series, specifically the quote “Any woman who can’t walk three steps behind a man should get stabbed in the back and die.”
Whether for relaxing at home or engaging in spiritual training by staring at Naoya’s questioning gaze on your feet, these slippers offer a unique way for fans to connect with the series’ lore.
The shoes are made from 100% polyester with a polyurethane foam and EVA interior, designed to fit foot sizes ranging from approximately 24.5cm to 27.0cm.
The Jujutsu Kaisen “Don’t You Have a Human Heart?” Room Shoes are priced at 5,500 yen (approx. $37.00 USD / £29.00 GBP).
Pre-orders began on Friday, January 23, 2026, and will run until Sunday, March 1, 2026, via the Bandai Fashion Collection (Bancolle!) website.
Shipping is currently scheduled to begin in May 2026.
