Text-to-Video (T2V) models have demonstrated remarkable capability in generating temporally coherent videos from natural language prompts, yet they also risk producing unsafe content such as violence or explicit material. Existing prompt-level defenses are largely inherited from text-to-image safety and operate on the lexical surface of the input, making them vulnerable to jailbreak attacks that disguise harmful intent through rephrasing or adversarial prompting. Moreover, T2V generation introduces a distinctive challenge overlooked by prior work: temporally emergent risk, where a seemingly benign prompt leads to unsafe content through the generator's temporal extrapolation toward narrative coherence. We propose \method{}, a training-free, inference-time defense framework that reformulates T2V safety as a causal intervention in a temporally structured semantic space. TrajShield handles explicit unsafe prompts, jailbreak attacks, and temporally emergent risks in a unified manner by simulating the implied trajectory of a prompt, localizing the causal origin of potential risk, and applying a minimally invasive rewrite that neutralizes the risk while preserving safety-irrelevant semantics. Experiments on T2VSafetyBench across 14 safety categories and multiple T2V backends demonstrate that TrajShield achieves state-of-the-art defenseive performance while maintaining high semantic fidelity, substantially outperforming existing defenses, with an average ASR reduction of 52.44\%.
