Despite the absence of a meeting or conflict between the two characters in the official storyline, fans have eagerly speculated about which character would emerge victorious if such an encounter were to take place.
Nanami, a Grade 1 sorcerer, once served as a junior to Gojo Satoru. Known for his composed demeanor, Nanami employs his Ratio Technique to uncover vulnerabilities in his opponents, inflicting devastating harm with his seemingly unremarkable knife.
On the flip side, Choso is a unique being known as a cursed womb - a fusion of a human and a cursed spirit. Harnessing his extraordinary skills, such as Piercing Blood, Blood Edge, and Supernova, Choso wields command over not just his own life-giving essence, but also the vital fluid of those around him.
According to fans on X (formerly Twitter) who responded to a question by @JujutsuTwts, Nanami is believed to have the ability to defeat Choso due to his strength and strategic tactics. This assertion stems from Choso's lack of experience and physical prowess. Fans have also highlighted that Nanami has yet to showcase his full potential in Jujutsu Kaisen, suggesting that this could significantly impact the outcome of any situation.
Over the span of more than a decade as a jujutsu sorcerer, Nanami has encountered various adversaries such as cursed spirits, special-grade curses, curse users, and death drawings. Additionally, he has received extensive training under the tutelage of Gojo Satoru, widely renowned as the most powerful sorcerer in history, from whom Nanami has imbibed invaluable techniques and teachings. Nanami's battles are thus informed by his vast expertise and deep understanding of the field.

Others have been lauding Choso's extraordinary proficiency in blood manipulation, as it empowers him to deftly manipulate and harness his own life-giving fluid as a formidable weapon. With unparalleled precision, he can shape his blood into piercing projectiles akin to lethal bullets or even unleash explosive spheres reminiscent of a Blood Edge and a Supernova. Although Choso's technique is supremely versatile and exceptionally potent, it exacts a substantial toll on his blood reserves and physical strength.

Choso's blood manipulation techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen have impressed fans, who believe they would easily defeat Nanami. As a cursed object, Choso possesses intelligence and self-awareness, giving him the ability to refine his cursed techniques over 150 years. While he has faced tough opponents like Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Inumaki Toge, he has yet to confront a wide range of adversaries or situations.

There is no definitive answer to this query as every character in Jujutsu Kaisen has their own strengths and weaknesses. The outcome of their conflict depends on various factors such as their environment, circumstances, motivation, and luck.
Although Choso lacks experience and strategy, Nanami is weaker in terms of ability. The author would need to create a specific scenario to finally settle this argument, but it is unlikely to happen in the near future.
Fans can show their support for the show and its characters while maintaining mutual respect for each other's perspectives. Jujutsu Kaisen focuses not on power dynamics but rather on the unique ways individuals employ their strengths and the goals behind their conflicts.
