As the World Cup moves forward, the tension between fans are getting higher than ever, but thanks to anime, some fans just became a bit closer. Now, a now-viral video captured a special moment that showed how the anime brought fans of opposing teams together.
After Japan's match with Senegal during the FIFA World Cup ended up in a tie, fans left the stadium, and it was there when Japan and Senegal fans came together to celebrate by singing one of the famous theme songs of One Piece.
The video was shared by actor John Sulo on Twitter, and he looks happy showing off his new Japanese friends. Sulo may have rooted for Senegal during the game, but he joined some strangers on Japan's side to sing the famous One Piece song We Are. At the end of the clip, you'll see Sulo thank his new friends.
The video was already viewed 5 million views with many fans happy to see the fans bond together despite the rivalry between Senegal and Japan. This shows that anime has the power to bring people together no matter what sports team they're rooting for.
