Choki

Choki is a small cactus made up of three rounded bulbs, two larger ones near the top and a lone smaller one jutting from the side. Together they read like a hand held up in a peace sign, the resemblance that gave the plant its name and the reason Nagi flashes it the very same gesture before he heads out.

The cactus works as the ideal roommate for someone like Nagi. Whoever handed it over picked it as the least bothersome option, and it asks almost nothing in return, needing water only once every two or three weeks, so it can largely be left to itself. Nagi keeps it close simply because he likes having a bit of company in his room.

Choki came to Nagi as a gift and settled into his room, where he grew genuinely attached to it. With Nagi off at the Blue Lock facility, the plant now sits under Ba-ya's watch. Its name borrows the Japanese onomatopoeia choki, tied to the act of cutting, since its silhouette echoes a pair of scissors, the same shape formed by the scissors throw in rock-paper-scissors, which in Japanese is likewise called choki.
