volume 0 of jjk is more important then you think

because the idea that a burdensome level of strength is nothing but a curse, is literalised with Yuta. Rika is literally a curse that's formed out of love. this same plight is not as apparent with Gojo Satoru and Kashimo Hajime. with these two, their mannerisms say far more.

what's noteworthy is that the resolution of Gojo's own crisis is 100% opposite of how Yuta's was resolved, and it looks to be the same for Kashimo as well. Yuta forgoes his overwhelming strength by dispelling the curse on Orimoto Rika, and prioritizes his bonds with his people.

after all, that's the central theme of volume 0. as such, the most interesting thing about the shift between the prequel and the main series is just how COMPLETELY the main series contradicts the themes of the prequel.

the main series, so far, has severely punished anyone that prioritizes their bonds over a robust sense of self + selfish pursuit of power. the special grades are the best example of this. Tsukumo Yuki worked with Tengen and Choso; she didn't fight with her own domain.

only in death could he stand on an equal footing with his comrades. the framing of these demises in the main series is so deliberately opposed to how the thematic framework of JJK 0 functions. and the reason is none other than the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.

Sendai, the City of Trees. established in the year 1600 by the daimyō Date Masamune. Date Masamune was a descendant of the Fujiwara. any JJK reader knows the significance of the Fujiwara clan in the series

the emphasis JJK gives to the Fujiwara cannot be understated. lemme run through some key examples rq. the turning point of the series, the Shibuya incident, happens in the vicinity of the Meiji Jinguu, a shrine dedicated to Empress Shōken, a deified member of the Fujiwara clan.

the revival of the Heian era, which saw the supremacy of the Fujiwara clan in the political scene, also plays a part in this. Onmyōdō, or sorcery, was at its peak in the Heian era. Ashiya Dōman, one of the most prominent sorcerers in history, was a hiree of the Fujiwara.

and this specific fact is called back to in the New Shadow Style: Simple Domain, developed by Ashiya Sadatsuna, being utilised widely in the series. the relevance of all this to the topic at hand is that Yuta is a descendant of the Sugawara clan.

symbolically, literally and meta-textually, Yuta is removed from a position of importance, and a guy from a Fujiwara-established city replaces him.

all of this is why some wouldn't feel confident about Yuta continuing to be in good health for the rest of the series 💀🚩

all the special grades in the series have been murked, except Yuta. you can clearly see why people would think he's next. BUT NOT ME! and here's why: in the Sendai colony, i.e. in the same city established by the Fujiwara, he beats Uro Takako, a hiree of the Fujiwara.

he cyclicality that JJK is obsessed with plays out on various levels, but Yuta is the only exception. and I mean the ONLY exception. not even Gojo was exempt. Yuta, a Sugawara, beats someone that was associated with the Fujiwara. it plays out the opposite of how it's meant to.

in conclusion, i think we should put our stocks in Yuta. someone that won't be the next Gojo Satoru sounds about desirable rn. Vol-0 is a treasure trove of hints when we reread with new context. i hope i gave you new insight, or at least a fun read.

"

I can’t wait for Yuta vs Sukuna, the themes of strength, loneliness, love and modernity vs history finna clash like crazy

The Queen of Curses vs The King of Curses 😤😤😤

Furthermore Yuta as the previous MC whose succeeded despite contradictory themes with Sukuna…

Overinterpreting Uro Takako's Name

Sorry if this is poorly formatted, I cooked this up in an afternoon and it is hardly a pointed academic essay dissecting her character, more like a desperate yap session rooting around as much in the implications of her character as possible. Had to cut some content even though tumblr supposedly doesn't have a word limit, but before cutting it it wouldn't let me post, so I'll post post the second part sometime later. NAMES. NAMES. NAMES. Names are a central theme to Uro’s character, so when analyzing her I like starting there. Crucially, Uro did not have a name for most of her first life, only being granted one by an official within the Fujiwara clan in order to scapegoat her for him killing his own people. To clarify, Uro Takako is not the name she was given back then, the listed names of Culling Games players are from their modern vessels (evidenced by Yorozu, Uraume, Angel, Kenjaku, and Sukuna all being addressed by names we know to belong to their vessels. Furthermore, ‘Uro Takako’ does not follow the early-mid heian period naming conventions. however, whether they're their original names or not ,I think Gege’s choices for their vessels' name are quite deliberate, including for Uro. URO Starting with the family name, Uro (烏鷺) consists of two kanji, that of ‘crow’ 烏 (karasu) and heron 鷺 (sagi). This is not a random pairing of birds; crows and herons are often paired together in Japanese art to symbolize a yin and yang, black and white contrast. This is reflected in her visual design as well, where her lack of clothes and light hair leaves her completely white in the manga, save for the black sclera, bracelets, and choker, producing a ‘darkness within light’ motif that shows the dark, yang, can be found in the light, yin. Herons can signify a wide range of things in Japan, including negative and foreboding qualities, but the heron contrasted with a crow is generally a white heron. White herons are associated with positive qualities like purity and strength, and are seen as messengers of the gods.

In this color spread, Ryu and Uro are cuntily posed up next to a quote ‘The Flower That Blooms in A Sea of Death…Gets a Second Chance At Life’’. Unfortunately for Ryu, this quote only benefits Uro because he got turned into cake slices by Sukuna. Uro’s last life was characterized vastly more by the ‘crow’, the ‘dark’ in her name - an assassin whose role is to kill people, and as a member of the Sun Moon and Stars squad, she was relegated to the shadows. This is why I think Uro’s second life will be characterized more by the white heron; finding strength and change. Her role is not over yet. The Painting of Lovers Walking In the Snow, (Or Crow and Heron)

To continue about ‘uro’ and the concept of crows and herons, a famous painting associated with this phrase is ‘Lovers Walking In the Snow (Crow and Heron), made in the Edo period. It doesn’t have direct implications on Uro’s character or anything, I just like comparing it. In paintings, white (also yin, represented by the white heron) is associated with femininity while black is associated with masculinity. Especially in tradition, femininity, yin, is seen as submissive, while masculinity, yang, is seen as active and leading. In Uro’s character this association is flipped on its head. Her Heian period life is associated with the darkness in her name, but her entire life revolved around submission to the Fujiwara - denied all sorts of autonomy, including having a name for herself.  The Uro we see in the current timeline in Sendai is boisterous and stands up for herself, unapologetically feminine and strong. This actually makes me like my trans woman Uro hc a bit more, the themes of change and rebirth in both her name and character as a whole jive well with it. Her being seen as a man back in the Heian period while lacking the autonomy to live as herself, to being incarnated as a woman in the modern era with her white heron symbolism about transition would feel poetic and makes her second chance at life even more meaningful. Of course, this symbolism works really well with cis woman Uro too, as going from living in a society as unequal as the Heian period to the modern day would be a major transition in and of itself for any woman. A small note on the painting is that it may depict a michiyuki, a lyrical journey employed in plays (typically near the end in kabuki plays. One of the popular endings for such michiyuki is a double suicide of lovers when their love is at odds with the expectations of society. I like this interpretation for the piece because stories about the Heron Maiden I will look at next deal with impossible doomed love too. A tragic love story with Uro in her previous life is very plausible - if she was denied a name and forced to live in the shadows, it only makes sense that she was denied meaningful relationships, but love finds its way to people regardless. Ultimately, she was executed rather than committing a tragic double suicide, but perhaps she was targeted as a sacrificial lamb after breaking the rules imposed on her one too many times. 

The Heron Maiden

The second piece of classic art I wanna take a look at is the story of the Heron maiden. It feels fitting and poignant when applied to Uro. In it, a man cared for a wounded heron, and after he set it free he met a young woman. She was charming and the man quickly fell for her, leading to the two marrying. The woman was skilled at textile working, specifically weaving silk brocade. She requested him not to watch her as she worked, but one day he failed to resist the temptation and saw there the heron he saved weaving at the loom. Her non-human form discovered, she then sorrowfully left. Its theme of concealed identity resonates with Uro's character, existing as an assassin that was stowed away into the shadows unless needed by her superiors. Her lack of clothing in the modern incarnation can be read as her finally exposing herself to the world, casting off the expectation to be hidden all the time.

A kabuki play about the Heron maiden ends similarly tragically, though rather than the maiden turning into a heron and leaving, she succumbs to unrequited love. A failure to be recognized and seen by others is definitely a theme that can be seen in Uro, so it felt fitting to at least mention. TAKAKO Now, onto her given name, Takako. There’s a lot less to say about it; the first kanji, 亨, means to ‘go well’ or ‘pass smoothly’, generally used in words that evoke prosperity. The latter kanji, 子, is used very commonly in (especially feminine) names and simply means ‘child’.  Not much to interpret, insha’allah she can be a prosperous child in this second life. NOT HAVING A NAME Now, onto the next part of her name; the fact that she did not have one, until the man that had her executed gave her one. Not having a name has very different connotations in the Heian period than it does in the modern period. Having a first and last name was not a universal standardized custom in the Heian period. Those with a first and last name would generally be structured as [clan name] no [ given name], like Fujiwara no Tokihira, Sugawara no Michizane, etc. Important men were also often simply referred to by their title, their personal name at other times. As described in the notes of the edition of The Diary of Lady Murasaki I have, women lacking personal names was common; ladies in waiting were generally referred to as their role/rank/position and a name derived from a male relative’s title or land property. Their name was little more than a signifier of their job and the significance of a male relative. Even lady Murasaki herself (Murasaki Shikibu), her name was merely a nickname (Murasaki) combined with Shikibu (the ministry of ceremony where her father once held power). Rank

Because of this, Uro Takako was likely just referred to as ‘Captain’ (Taicho) or ‘Captain of the Sun Moon and Stars squad’. Between the two, captain is a very generic name and many people would hold a captain role within the Fujiwara, so she was likely often referred to by the full name of the squad. The fact that she lacked a personal name could mean that there was no further identification besides her role of captain - no male relative derived title to add to it. It wouldn’t be a surprise that an assassin that works from the shadows would not be openly associated with any relatives, both for their safety and to reduce individuality. In this context, a man ‘giving her a name’ could easily be interpreted as having a romantic meaning. For a woman like Uro that more than likely was fully estranged from relatives, obtaining a name through a lover or husband (the distinction was somewhat vague and non-codified in the Heian period) would be an option. The man that gave her her name being a lover is the easiest explanation, though a higher ranked man simply granting her a name through other means, like forging a fake personal history for her, is also possible. The Captain of the Sun Moon and Stars squad, a sorcerer squad that stood shoulder to shoulder with the Five Void Generals, sounds like a role that would have similar standing to functions like the Major Captains of the palace guards or military, but these were renowned positions often taken by court nobles, something Uro was decidedly not. It’s clear that despite the implied importance of her role, her social standing was incomparably insignificant compared to those captains.  Because so many functions would rank above her, I can’t theorize much on what position the official that betrayed her occupied. Unfortunately, the only flashback panel we get of him (presumably it’s him, because she gets so mad) is not very identifiable besides the fact he wears formal male courtly clothes. I would expect him to hold some high military rank, as that would connect most naturally with a sorcerer assassination unit.  The Five Void Generals

They’re not the focus of this post, but I want to take an aside to mention them because of their connection to Uro. They are described as standing shoulder to shoulder with the Sun Moon and Stars squad in terms of strength, but in social standing, I presume them to be incomparable. The kanji for void has the radical for tiger in it, so connecting the Five Void Generals to the Five Tiger Generals seems intended. The Five Tiger Generals, while not having direct historical basis, is a popular way to refer to the five top military commanders under a lord or authority, most notably as Liu Bei’s five most prominent generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms; Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun. The Five Tiger Generals were each well-recognized and famous military commanders, completely unlike Uro, who failed to obtain renown. If they are at all analogous, the Five Void Generals would be influential officials and essentially celebrities. For someone like Uro, who led a squad said to equal them in power, this would rub salt in the wound and serve as a symbol of how unfairly the Fujiwara treated her.  Incomplete Source List: https://read.cash/@Mictorrani/sagi-musume-the-heron-maiden-1df5337e https://enmokudb.kabuki.ne.jp/repertoire_en/%E9%B7%BA%E5%A8%98-the-heron-maiden/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/heron-japan-myth-folklore#:~:text=White%20herons%2C%20noted%20for%20their,or%20symbolizing%20purity%20and%20transition. https://theinkbrain.wordpress.com/2011/11/19/the-heron-maiden-a-japanese-folk-tale/
