French President Emmanuel Macron and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said goodbye with a “Kamehameha” from “Dragon Ball” after their recent meeting. We summarize.
Anime in politics
On April 1, 2026, against the backdrop of tensions in the Middle East, the two leaders met to announce their shared desire for an end to the war and free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The meeting was also intended to deepen the friendship between the two countries – and this was undoubtedly successful.
After completing their political talks, Macron and Takaichi said goodbye with a “Kamehameha,” which the French president even uploaded as a video to his X account and commented on it with the word “fusion.”
This is not an April Fool’s joke! If you don’t want to believe that, you can watch the video of the “Dragon Ball”-inspired action below these lines.
