The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen just ended and more and more people are cosplaying as their favorite characters, especially the popular characters of the series, who got more attention in the second season of the anime compared to the first season. Apart from the hottest movies-Nanami, Gojo and Sukuna are especially popular choices thanks to their incredible popularity and the fingerprints they create using their respective domain extensions. In an amazing collaboration, pop/R&B singer Usher joined TikTok in Gojo cosplay. The artist does not wear the full Gojo costume (or white wig), but he does wear a blindfold, lifting one end to reveal a blue eye while performing Gojo’s signature hand seals. This is the same pose that Gojo used when he first revealed his Domain Expansion to both Yuji and the audience in the early parts of the first season.
This happened right after Usher jumped into many spotlights. Back in September 2023, Usher was announced as the featured performer of the NFL Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show in Las Vegas. Of course, much of the conversation afterward revolved around speculation about his set list and who he might collaborate with. In December 2023, Usher collaborated with BTS’s Jung Kook to remix the group’s single “Standing Next to You” and released a music video shortly after the single’s release. Earlier this month, as the next phase of his promotion ramped up, Usher released the trailer for his Super Bowl performance and announced his next album, Coming Home, will be released on Super Bowl performance, marking his first album release. since 2016.

“Standing By Your Side” is relevant for a number of reasons. First, the song plays in the background of Usher’s Gojo TikTok video. But two Jujutsu Kaisen fans (hilariously) have speculated about a possible Easter egg in the remix’s lyrics. In the outro, it sounds like Usher adlibed the word “Gojo,” but this was dismissed as nonsense for weeks. Now that Usher has used that part of the song in a Gojo cosplay, it looks like some people have to apologize.
Unfortunately for those who have only watched the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, Usher, has included a major spoiler in this section. caption on his TikTok, so you should avoid it if you want to avoid spoilers. If you’re cognizant of spoiler warnings, TikTok is linked here. The spoilers are:
Show/Hide spoilers
At the time of publication, around 4 million people have viewed the TikTok spoiler, with millions of additional views from hundreds of thousands of shares, meaning it’s very likely that millions of people who only watch the anime will see the spoiler this route. Obviously, this is a big reveal for those who haven’t been following the manga, and it really speaks to the inevitability of avoiding spoilers at this stage of social media. The Yuji-esque double leak of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga + the official manga release on social media is unavoidable, let alone the posts from the stars and celebrities you have can track. It’s a shame to be a spoiler, but maybe this means we’ll see Usher in Gojo cosplay moonwalking on Super Bowl Sunday. Roc Nation has certainly done weirder shows.
