Get Gojoed is a TikTok trend from 2021 where users photoshop images to make subjects look like Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, or prank people by pulling their facemask over their eyes to mimic Gojo's signature blindfold look.

Overview

Get Gojoed is a TikTok trend involving image edits and real-life pranks centered around Satoru Gojo, a fan-favorite character from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen1. The trend features two distinct formats: photoshop edits that transform any subject into a Gojo-like figure, and facemask pranks where someone pulls a sleeping person's mask over their eyes to mimic Gojo's iconic blindfold2.

Satoru Gojo wears a black blindfold to filter the overwhelming sensory input from his Six Eyes ability, creating a distinctive visual that became instantly recognizable to anime fans3. His signature look, with white spiky hair and covered eyes, proved easy to replicate through simple image manipulation. The trend typically involves adding white hair, the blindfold, and sometimes Gojo's black uniform to photos of people, cartoon characters, or even animals2.

The meme captured a specific moment during the COVID-19 pandemic when facemasks were ubiquitous, making the real-life prank version particularly accessible. Anyone with a mask could be "Gojoed" by having it pulled up over their eyes while sleeping or unaware.

How It Spread

Within two weeks of the original video, the trend exploded on TikTok. On June 30th, 2021, user @trinacupcake posted an edit featuring Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants transformed into Gojo, earning over 497,000 likes. The absurdity of editing a cartoon starfish into an anime sorcerer demonstrated the format's flexibility. On July 7th, @thatnanamistan contributed another popular edit that gained over 444,000 likes.

The facemask prank variation emerged as a parallel trend. The most viral example came from Instagram user @pelerpudel on July 22nd, 2021, showing a sleeping security guard getting his facemask pulled over his eyes. The video racked up over 1 million likes on Instagram. The prank format spread to TikTok as well, with users like @thatnanamistan posting examples that gained thousands of likes.

K-pop fans joined the trend on December 15th, 2021, when @twiminary posted an edit featuring the group Twice, collecting over 204,000 likes. The crossover between anime and K-pop fandoms expanded the trend's reach beyond its original anime community.

How to Use This Meme

The photoshop version of Get Gojoed involves editing a photo to give the subject Gojo's characteristic features. This typically means adding white or silver spiky hair, placing a black blindfold over the eyes, and sometimes including his black high-collar uniform. Any subject works, from selfies to celebrity photos to cartoon characters.

The prank version requires someone wearing a facemask who is asleep or distracted. The prankster pulls the mask up from the nose to cover the eyes, then often adds a photoshop effect afterward to complete the Gojo transformation. The reveal usually shows the before-and-after with dramatic music from the anime.
