The 2014 FIFA World Cup seems to be inspiring some really fantastic ads all across the globe. We've seen the
star-studded ad by Nike, we've seen
jaw-dropping one from McDonald's and now we have an ad from Japanese cup-noodle makers, Nissin that will pretty much blow your mind away.
The cast? A bunch of Brazilian kids playing football in a playground, several young football enthusiasts, and a Samurai. That's right. The famed Japanese warrior nobility with fighting skills so legendary, it needs no introduction, has made its football debut. And what a debut at that.
The ad titled,
Samurai in Brazil, shows the Samurai (in complete armour and sword in tow), literally kicking up a storm. At times his feet move so fast that everything is a blur. Trust Japan to take levels several notches higher, even if it's for a cup-noodle advertisement.
Watch, and be awed:
