Most of this sounds pretty good, but I have a few questions.

How is the user supposed to spin the staff without cutting their hands? Are the chokutos sheathed like a sword staff?

Secondly, what kind of staff? Hmm- since the internet says chokuto are around 20 inches in length... maybe a hanbo? It might be a little short for what you want though.

Third, are you sure you want to use fire? I know I seem really biased against fire (because I am), but the amount of destruction fire can cause is not to be underestimated. Also, heating up the blade doesn't really help cut through grimm armor.

Lastly, are you sure you want to dual wield chokuto? Dual wielding isn't just some thing where you can attack twice as fast- otherwise everyone would have done it. Dual wielding swords is similar to sword and shield- one weapon is blocking and the other is attacking. The lack of a hand guard on chokutos as well as the equal length of the swords would make it harder to dual wield than normal.

Suggestions in order:

I would modify the sheaths of the swords so that when they are put together they resemble a real staff. If this is already the case, I am sorry.

I would also make one of the chokuto longer than the other, so it is easier to dual wield.

I would define the length and type of staff.

I would replace the wind and fire dust with gravity dust. If you take into account unrealistic physics, gravity dust can helpincrease your melee attack power, mobility, and crowd control ability (not quite sure on the last one). Aura slashes can act as your ranged option here.
