10 most embarrassing Gojo moments, including Gojo getting bullied and called a freak

1) Gojo’s wears Nobara’s skirt

Gojo wearing Nobara’s skirt is one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments in Jujutsu Kaisen. This moment shows Gojo's playful, immature side of Gojo in a ridiculous way. This happens during one of the lighter “Juju Stroll” segments, that takes place at the end of each episode.

Gojo surprises the students by showing up in the room wearing Nobara’s pleated skirt, that too with an exaggerated pose and mimicking Nobara’s voice. It makes Itadori burst into laughter while Nobara gives it an awed look. This is special since it reveals Gojo's child play, even being the most powerful sorcerer.

2) Gojo fails to perform Red against a curse while escorting Riko Amanai

Gojo’s failure to perform the Cursed Technique Red during his attempt to escort the Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai, shows a rare and funny moment of vulnerability for one of the strongest sorcerers in the world. In this daring chase, he explained his ability and even showed his awareness of the technique of his opponent quite confidently.

However, when he tries to perform Red, he slips up hilariously because of his poor grasp of Reverse Cursed Techniques at that time. The shocking failure also makes him a bit more vulnerable while contrasting dramatically with his usual bravado, making it one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments.

3) Gojo pretends to be a violin teacher

Gojo as a fake violin teacher is among the most embarrassing Gojo moments mainly because of the absurdness it presents. Dressed in the most flamboyant outfit, he parades in with overt effusion, dramatically declaring his intention to teach the infamous nursery rhyme "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

This makes it one of the most memorable scenes, not just for the humor but also for the pure absurdity of Gojo's over-the-top performance. However, aiming to lighten the serious mood, it backfires hilariously, as it embarrasses Megumi to death.

4) Pulls an immature prank on Nanami

Gojo's prank on his co-worker and former underclassman, Kento Nanami, shows the mischievous and immature nature of the strongest sorcerer, often at odds with Nanami's more serious personality. When Nanami drops the plan to hang out with the rest of the sorcerers, Gojo continues to pursue him, even going so far as to tail behind him with a placard and sneak his notes into Nanami's pockets.

When Nanami opens one of them, he finds an immature drawing instead of a meaningful message. This scene along with displaying Gojo's childish side also covers the dynamics of Nanami and Gojo. This places it among the most embarrassing Gojo moments.

5) Gojo snaps pictures of beaten-up Megumi

The moment Gojo takes pictures of the battered Megumi shows how much he places importance on humor over seriousness. When Megumi comes out of a grueling battle, Gojo enters nonchalantly, taking pictures of his student with the intent of showing Megumi in such an exposed state.

Humiliating though this moment had appeared for Megumi, it also showed his rather careless yet insensitive side since he seemed to take more concern in joking than in condoling his student. His casualness, when he throws a shopping bag full of treats, really enhances the general absurdity of this particular situation, making it one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments.

6) Surprises everyone with Yuji’s survival

Gojo's plan to reveal the news of Yuji's survival during the Kyoto Goodwill Event is one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments without a doubt. After Yuji had dramatically died and was later revived by Sukuna, Gojo decides to reveal the news of Yuji's existence through a very dramatic approach, by rolling him out of the crate to the shock of Nobara and Megumi.

This dramatic presentation backfires when the intended glee turns to frustration. Instead of the expected happiness, Nobara and Megumi are perplexed at Gojo's insensitivity towards their feelings.

7) Gojo’s students fail to recognize him without his blindfold

In Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Panda, Yuta, Inumaki, and others hilariously fail to recognize Gojo when he removes his iconic blindfold from his face. After the end of the battle with Kenjaku, Gojo approaches his students without his mask, expecting relief and recognition. However, they ask him who is he, making it one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments while highlighting the importance of his signature mask as his identity.

8) Gojo gets bullied by Masamichi Yaga

Gojo gets bullied by Masamichi Yaga in a significant scene that sheds light on his rare moments of vulnerability. Yaga holds Gojo for his reckless acts that put students at risk and undermined the gravity of the mission.

Yaga punished Gojo publicly in the presence of both his students and those from Kyoto Jujutsu High. It is in this aim that it makes Gojo feel responsible. As a matter of fact, not only is the public nature but also the point that even a strong sorcerer mustn't be exempted from facing the results of his actions. Therefore, this incident forms one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments.

9) Young Megumi calls Gojo a freak

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the scene with young Megumi Fushiguro and Gojo injects a comical but embarrassing moment for the poweful sorcerer. When young Megumi appears to show a lot of resemblance to his father, Toji, Gojo greets him with an exaggeratedly disgusted face while unwittingly earning him the title of "freak" from his young charge.

It is Megumi's brutal honesty that catches Gojo off guard, leaving the coolness moment to something of decent humor as they shift into family matters, making it one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments that makes him vulnerable.

10) Yuta tells Gojo he will never get a girlfriend

In one of the major flashbacks during Itadori's Extermination Arc, Gojo asks Yuta to take care of the first and second-year students if anything happens to him, ending up in a momentary exchange. Unknowing about what exactly is bothering Gojo, Yuta humorously quips that probably it would be because Gojo might worry about finding a girlfriend with nothing more happening in his life than to think of that other thing.

This comment leaves him speechless, explaining the uneasiness of a powerful sorcerer in personal contacts. The candidness of Yuta's comment underlines the vulnerability of Gojo and the comic tenderness of the characters, making it one of the most embarrassing Gojo moments.

Final thoughts

The most embarrassing Gojo moments in Jujutsu Kaisen feature a delightful blend of humor and vulnerability that starkly contrasts with power. Right from when he wears Nobara's skirt or when he cannot even execute the Red and becomes a fake violin teacher, these incidents portray his playfulness and willingness to take absurdity on.

Moments like when the young Megumi calls him a "freak" or Yuta sums up with blunt honesty how his love life is going to make Gojo more relatable to the reader.
