McDonald's Japan posted a CM project on August 20, 2026, for its Chocolate Mint Frappe. Ayako Kawasumi, Tomokazu Seki, and Daisuke Namikawa voice the ad, reading love letters from the frappe's perspective. Fans associate the trio with Fate/Zero, where they voice Saber, Gilgamesh, and Waver Velvet, and are reacting with laughter.
McDonald's Japan cast three voice actors whose names are inseparable from Fate/Zero, and the internet noticed immediately. Ayako Kawasumi, Tomokazu Seki, and Daisuke Namikawa appear in a CM project for the Chocolate Mint Frappe, reading love letters from the drink's point of view.
The ad starts as a voice-only reading, then the letter senders crash in and it descends into disorder. On X, commenters tied the trio straight back to their Fate/Zero roles: Kawasumi as Saber, Seki as Gilgamesh, Namikawa as Waver Velvet. One called it the Fourth Holy Grail War. Another asked how a McDonald's ad pulled this off.
Namikawa quote-posted the announcement with a note that he wrote a letter and urged fans to listen and savor it, adding that he is a genuine chocolate mint fan.
