ChoNao

ChoNao is the slash ship between Choso and Naoya Zenin from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
Choso and Naoya have not many canon interactions as they've only interacted once. Both characters are related to one of the Three Great Sorcerer Families: Naoya belongs to the Zenin clan and Choso, while not part of the Kamo clan, is Noritoshi Kamo's biological son. Naoya was the heir of the Zenin clan from a young age and Choso is the half-human, half-cursed spirit son of the man regarded as the evilest jujutsu sorcerer in history and a stain on the Kamo Family.

Itadori Extermination Arc
Choso and Naoya meet each other after the Shibuya Incident when Noaya comes to Tokyo to kill Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro. Naoya informs Choso and Yuji that there is an execution order on Yuji's head and starts to fight them both. Choso and Yuji notice Naoya's speed and Naoya comments that he had understimated them both as he wonders about Choso's identity. Yuta Okkotsu appears and the group splits up, leaving Choso and Naoya to fight each other.

Choso comments on Naoya's speed once again. Naoya tells Choso that he had been observing him and tells him he knows his technique is Blood Manipulation. Naoya says that Blood Manipulation is not a great technique because it has many weaknesses. Naoya says he will kill Choso to which Choso responds that he will do the same because Naoya tried to kill his little brother, Yuji. Naoya outspeeds Choso, making it hard for him to fight back or even defend himself. Naoya notices Choso's durability and asks him who he is. Choso responds by saying he is the oldest of ten siblings.

Naoya then stabs Choso and says he dislikes fighting with a weapon. He says his brothers are incompetent for parading themselves with katanas when they criticised Toji for doing the same. He then says he hates his brothers for being weaker than him. Choso tells Naoya that maybe he owes everything to his brothers. He explains that, as the oldest, his bad decisions are examples for his brothers and his good choices allow his brothers to join him themselves. Choso tells Naoya that he is strong because of his brothers. Choso then overpowers Naoya with his Blood Manipulation and tells him he cannot understand how Naoya can hate his brothers.
