Voice actress Isabel Martiñon, known for playing Naruto Uzumaki in Latin Spanish since 2003, surprised Mexican soccer player Armando González with a personalized video.
A message with a globalist mission
Through Instagram, Martiñon addressed the forward of the Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas), nicknamed “La Hormiga”, who is a renowned anime fan. With the characteristic voice of the ninja, he entrusted him with an ‘S’ rank mission: to face the most difficult phase of the World Cup with force and bring the World Cup to Mexico together with the National Team.
“Because you are the most stubborn player, my friend, really,” said the actress.
The 23-year-old footballer responded with a brief “Deveras”, showing his emotion.
Reactions in networks
The video generated a wave of positive comments. Users highlighted the motivation it represents: “If it motivated me, I don’t even want to imagine the Ant” and “We have the blessing of Naruto,” were some reactions. Others confessed to having cried with emotion.
Passion for anime on the court
González, nicknamed “the otaku of the goal”, has shown his taste for series such as Fullmetal Alchemist and Blue Lock. In his celebrations, he replicates character moves such as Sasuke Uchiha’s fireball jutsu. This link between football and pop culture reinforces the connection with his fans.
