If you are a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, you might be wondering how Choso, one of the Death Painting Wombs, is related to Itadori, the protagonist of the series. Choso is a half-human, half-cursed spirit who has a blood mark on his face and can manipulate blood as his cursed technique. He and his two brothers, Kechizu and Eso, were created by Geto, a powerful curse user who was possessed by Kenjaku, the Brain. Choso initially sided with Kenjaku’s alliance with Mahito until he discovered that Kenjaku was the cruel father of the Death Painting Wombs, Noritoshi Kamo. He also found out that Itadori is another relative of Kenjaku’s and has aligned himself with his new “younger brother”. But how are these two characters related? And what is the secret behind their connection?

The Memory Manipulation Theory
One of the popular fan theories that tried to explain the relationship between Choso and Itadori was the memory manipulation theory. This theory suggested that Itadori has a hidden ability to manipulate the memories of others, based on his interactions with Todo and Choso. Todo is a jujutsu sorcerer who became Itadori’s best friend after seeing a false memory of them being high school buddies. Choso is a Death Painting Womb who recognized Itadori as his younger brother after seeing a false memory of them having a picnic with their other brothers. The theory claimed that Itadori unconsciously created these false memories to bond with others and gain allies.
However, this theory was debunked by Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, in an interview. Akutami stated that Itadori does not have any memory manipulation ability and that the false memories were caused by something else. Akutami also hinted that there is a deeper reason behind Choso’s connection to Itadori than just a random memory.
The Death Painting Womb Connection
Another possible explanation for the relationship between Choso and Itadori is the Death Painting Womb connection. The Death Painting Wombs are cursed objects that were created by Noritoshi Kamo, a jujutsu sorcerer who experimented on pregnant women and infused them with cursed energy. The result was nine hybrid beings that were half-human and half-cursed spirit, each possessing a special grade cursed technique. However, only three of them survived: Choso, Kechizu, and Eso. The rest were either killed or sealed away by jujutsu sorcerers.
Choso has a special ability to sense the death of his brothers, which is why he felt a strong bond with Itadori when he met him. He sensed that Itadori was dying when he swallowed Sukuna’s finger and activated his cursed technique. He also sensed that Itadori was related to Kenjaku when he saw him in Geto’s body. This means that Itadori is somehow connected to the Death Painting Wombs and Kenjaku.
The Brain Possession Theory
The most likely explanation for the relationship between Choso and Itadori is the brain possession theory. This theory states that Choso and Itadori are related because they have the same mother, who was possessed by Kenjaku at some point in her life. Kenjaku is the Brain, a mysterious entity that can switch bodies and manipulate cursed energy. He was originally Noritoshi Kamo, the father of the Death Painting Wombs, but he later took over Geto’s body and formed an alliance with Mahito and other cursed spirits. His goal is to create a new world where humans and curses can coexist.
According to this theory, Kenjaku used his brain possession ability to impregnate different women with his cursed energy, creating more hybrid offspring like the Death Painting Wombs. One of these women was Yuji’s mother, who had stitches on her forehead similar to Geto and Kamo. She gave birth to Yuji, who inherited Kenjaku’s cursed energy and resistance to Sukuna’s influence. She also gave birth to Choso, who inherited Kenjaku’s blood manipulation technique and mark on his face. This explains why Choso felt a connection to Yuji as his younger brother and why Yuji has such a high potential as a jujutsu sorcerer.
Conclusion
The relationship between Choso and Itadori is one of the most intriguing mysteries in Jujutsu Kaisen. While there are different theories and speculations about how they are related, the most plausible one is that they share the same mother who was possessed by Kenjaku at some point. This makes them half-brothers who have a common father, the Brain. However, this does not mean that they are enemies or allies. Choso has chosen to side with Itadori against Kenjaku, while Itadori has accepted Choso as his brother despite their differences. Their bond is based on more than just blood, but on mutual respect and trust. They are brothers in arms who will fight together to protect the world from Kenjaku’s twisted plan.
