And you thought the giant boobs were crass? Ha! This is another advert for upcoming fighting game SoulCalibur V. Itâs cheeky. Literally.
The ad copy isnât subtle, either. Over the thonged butt, it reads, âThe seriesâ greatest masterpieceâ in Japanese, a statement that later might prove more controversial than the giant ass depicted.
As commenter Urfe pointed out, there is even a corny word pun with the Japanese word âseriesâ (ă·ăŹăŒăș). The first two letters âshiriâ (ă·ăȘ) have dots over them; âshiriâ can mean âbuttâ in Japanese.
There is also another pun: âmasterpieceâ is âkessakuâ (âćäœâ or âăăŁăăâ) in Japanese, and âketsuâ (âć°»â or âăă€â) can mean âbuttâ in Japanese. Basically, Namco is calling it their âmASSterpieceâ. Hilarious.
The full-page advertisement appeared in the Japanese tabloid Nikkan Sports, a publication aimed at Japanese salarymen and one that does not shy away from ass cheeks.
