![]() ![]() I’m always so impressed how much Gege has picked up from Togashi in terms of writing nuance and giving just enough information to make certain information “obvious assumptions”. She took Kenjaku’s offer in order to come back and “become someone”. Thats because she wants to prove herself to everyone and herself. She fight him straight up, wanting to crush him head on, butt naked bearing it all for everyone to witness. ![]() Uro doesn’t play a riddle game with Yuta or try to confuse him in their fight. The idea of fighting for the sake of others is sick to her because of what she experienced in her first life. Uro was a surprise to see, as she clearly and boldly embodies a woman who gave up her own potential as an individual for what she believed was a “greater good”. We got a whole character arc around Maki and Mai’s treatment by the Zenin clan, but that wasn’t where Gege decided to end the discussion. I think its very bold of Gege to consistently bring up the sexism in the jujutsu world throughout the eras. Anyway, I just find her ability to be a way gege is characterizing her without giving away too much of her back story or personality. Its a very powerful technique, not as strong as Gojo’s limitless of course but its almost like a subclass version of it. The Sky is literally her limit, being the maximum application of her technique, letting her fly, use it to block attacks, return blasts back to senders and more. Instantly I think about the saying “the sky is the limit”, and for the world of jujutsu the sky is NOT the limit if we were to put a “Ceiling” of some sort I would say the Heavens themselves, and of course Uro’s surface manipulation isn’t effecting the heavens. Otherwise, I think its important to her characterization to highlight her being introduced as a character that could control “the sky”. This leans into a section later about Uro’s past and how I think her life came to an end, so consider this a planted seed that’ll get watered as you continue reading. The idea is that Uro only saw things for what they seemed, and she was manipulated because of that. Of course this is something that leans more on the head canon side of the analysis, but its worth exploring. What really gets me is how this technique can be seen as a play on Uro only seeing things on the surface, not looking truly deeper into things. Uro’s technique is one of my favorites in the series due to its versatility and creativity of a technique. I do hope you understand where I’m coming from as I ramble and rant about this wonderful woman and how perfect her character is so far. It is this layer upon layer for her character that I’ll delve into which makes her a gem to me. She probably was happy to see the future being a time period where those bloodlines aren’t as prominent which is why she was so ticked off to run into Yuta being so boldly powerful in modern times. So all we know for a fact about Uro is that she was a head assassin for the Fujiwara clan, was betrayed by them and now has a heavy hatred for their kin. Kinda off topic, but I think this was Gege setting up for deeper dive into the past, and Uro was the first stepping stone to that, hence her final conversation with Yuta. I also find it very interesting that Gege decided to introduce a character that had connection to the Fujiwara and the Michizane clans. From her technique to the nuance behind her backstory, Uro (to me) is one of Gege’s best written one-off characters without getting a backstory focused chapter like Higaruma. Uro embodies this in many ways, and I basically highlight these throughout this meta in each section. Uro is clearly a female character who embodies the realism of powerful women who have resentment toward the world they were born into. I love a female character who has confidence, skill and isn’t being tomboy written so that she feels relatable to males. What made Uro stand out to me, was not only her appearance (which is obviously there to make you pay attention - more on this later) but just the boldness of her character dialogue and body language. Unfortunately for her and her peers/rivals Yuta Okkotsu entered the colony with the intention of taking everyone down and obtaining 400 points. We meet her in the highly volatile Sendai Colony, where she is one of the 4 strongest players there. Takako Uro is one of the newest characters introduced in the Culling Game arc of Jujutsu Kaisen and is probably one of if not my favorite new character introduced. ![]() You can feel free to agree or disagree, nothing I feel is necessarily FACT. *DISCLAIMER* This is MY personal meta on Uro. Character analysis on Uro, the culling game player I am the most interested in thus far.
