Choso

Choso is a supporting antagonist and later an ally of Yuji Itadori in the Jujutsu Kaisen. He and his two brothers, Kechizu and Eso are Cursed Womb: Death Paintings who have sided with Pseudo Geto's group.

Appearance
Choso is a man with black wild hair that some tied in two ponytails, thin eyebrows, and a black rectangle covering the bridge of his nose that sometimes bleeds.

Choso wears light colored long sleeved shirt and light colored baggy pants, black scarf, two black sashes that cover his body in a X pattern, and a black sash around his waist.

Personality
Choso bears strong attachments to his brothers and is very overprotective of them. At first, he sided with Pseudo Geto's group in Shibuya because he want to avenge the death of his younger brothers, Kechizu and Eso. However, after receiving a vision during his battle with Itadori, Choso was eventually convinced that Sukuna's vessel was actually one of his younger brothers. He then became furious at Mahito and the other cursed spirits for manipulating him into harming Itadori.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill: Choso is a special grade Death Painting. This is due to the fact that he not only has massive amounts of cursed energy, but one of the most powerful and well-balanced cursed techniques in existence. He has enough skill and experience with his technique to create original techniques and modify existing ones. Despite being an inexperienced fighter, Choso has contended and won against Yuji Itadori and Naoya Zenin, two powerful and experienced fighters, further solidifying his place as an extremely powerful curse. He is the strongest Death Painting, even among the special grades. He is, however, arguably the weakest cursed spirit in Pseudo Geto's group.

Enhanced Strength: Choso has great amounts of physical strength to go with his cursed energy. This is further enhanced by his Flowing Red Scale. He greatly injured Yuji during their fight and hit him hard enough to crack walls numerous times. With blood-hardened fists, Choso hit Yuji hard enough to make a dent in the latter's shoulder and even incapacitate him.

Enhanced Reflexes: Choso has immensely fast reflexes. He was able to go back and forth with Yuji during their fight, dodge some of the student's blows and sometimes, counter too fast for the student to handle. Choso's reflexes are so good that he was able to react to Naoya's speed even when caught off-guard. Even when Naoya increased his speed, he was able to adapt and react using his Flowing Red Scale:Stack.

Enhanced Durability: Choso has great durability, able to continuously take hits and continue fighting. Even Naoya commented that Choso was unnaturally tough. He not only has a sturdy body but great endurance. He continued taking heavy hits from Yuji during their fight and eventually lasted to the point of victory. This might be due to his nature as a Death Painting. It is possible that Choso is more durable than Jogo. However, he is far behind Hanami in terms of durability.

Enhanced Speed: Choso has great speed, able to even catch Naoya off-guard when the latter was overwhelmed by a tide of blood. He is fast enough to string extremely fast attacks together and match Yuji's rush of punches blow for blow.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Choso has exceptional martial arts skills, being his main form of combat. He used a variety of techniques when fighting with Yuji and Naoya, such as sweep kicks, punches, kicks, palm strikes, hand chops and many more. He repeatedly matched and overwhelmed Yuji Itadori during their fight using martial arts alone. As expected of his age, Choso has an extensive knowledge of martial arts techniques which he uses in his fights.

Poisonous Blood: After successfully wounding Uraume, Choso revealed that like his two younger brothers, his blood also possesses poisonous properties that can fatally injure even a powerful curse user.

Blood Connection: Choso has implied and later confirmed that he possesses the ability to "sense any transformations" that occurs to those he is related to by blood. This is seen when he was able to immediately detect the deaths of his younger siblings due to death being the final transformation of organisms. As shown with Yuji Itadori, this occurs when he experiences a vision right at the moment of his relatives' "death".

Blood Conversion: As one of the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings, Choso possess the unique constitution of being able to convert his cursed energy into blood. Effectively allowing Choso to create a nearly unlimited supply of blood for his Blood Manipulation Techniques that effectively eliminates the technique's weakness of possibly killing its user due to blood loss due to this ability allowing Choso to easily resupply himself with blood as long as he has cursed energy. This allowed Choso to overwhelm Naoya and eventually win during their fight by creating a tide of blood

Trivia

 * According to Jujutsu Kaisen Official Fanbook:
 * His design is based off a fashion model that Gege saw before.
 * In the Shibuya Incident, despite not being interested in the plan, he was willing to cooperate, but he had no reason to take life when they sealed Gojo.
 * The Kusouzu brothers got their common sense from the brain of human they were incarnated in. Sukuna also got his from Itadori.
 * If there’s more resistance from vessel against the cursed object, the appearance (of the vessel) won’t change. But in their case, there’s no remnant from the vessel of the Kusouzu. They themselves were always fetuses, so it’s like “we are just like this”.
 * He blood of Choso’s younger brothers Eso and Kechizu also has the same toxicity as his. It’s because Itadori is Sukuna’s vessel, he has resistance to poison so he’s fine (when exposed to their blood). But if it’s someone other than Itadori, it will become tough from the time Choso releases “piercing blood”. (I’m) still lost in how to use this setting.
