95th minute. Japan were drawing 1-1 against Brazil and were seconds away from making history. Then Martinelli, assisted by Bruno Guimarães, broke an entire country’s heart. 💔
In the stands of NRG Stadium in Houston, a Japanese fan completely surrounded by Brazilians experienced that moment firsthand. His reaction was so intense, so visceral, that social media immediately gave it a name: the ‘super saiyan.’ A fury worthy of the anime that Japan gave to the world. 🔥🐉
Brazil won 2-1 in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, with Casemiro equalizing first and Martinelli sealing the comeback in stoppage time. Coach Hajime Moriyasu summed it up in a few words: “it was heartbreaking”. For that fan alone in the stands, there were no words. Only the image that has already gone around the world. ⚽😤
