Takako Uro, who made her debut in chapter 173 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, has once again captured the attention of fans. Recent spoilers of chapter 239 have sparked curiosity among fans, as there are suggestions that Uro's fate may have been sealed, although it may have been underwhelming.
Chapter 239 of Jujutsu Kaisen initially showed Kenjaku targeting a girl with similar black eyes as Uro, and ultimately ending her life. This revelation unveiled his plan to bring the Culling Game to an end by eliminating all the participants. Uro, a significant character introduced during the Culling Games arc, had also been involved in a battle against Sukuna during the Heian Period.

She was a sorcerer during the Heian Era and held the esteemed position of captain in the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad, a renowned group of assassins associated with the Fujiwara Clan.

Final thoughts
Takako Uro is currently consumed by anger and remorse as a result of the treacherous actions of the Fujiwara clan. They falsely accused her of murdering numerous members of their own clan. Additionally, Uro shares a documented history with Sukuna, as he decimated her entire unit, the Five Void generals, as well as many other esteemed sorcerers from the Heian Era.Expand Tweet
Uro's response to Sukuna's arrival was intense, possibly triggered by her previous encounter with him in the Heian Era where she barely escaped his clutches. Nevertheless, it has not been officially confirmed that the girl killed by Kenjaku is indeed Takako Uro, as they only share a resemblance in their pupils.
Fans have also contested the idea of Uro wearing an outfit while escaping, given that she has consistently used the "sky" as her only attire in all her previous appearances. They believe it would have been more advantageous for her to use this ability to facilitate her escape from Kenjaku.
