Zakumi comes from "ZA", the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for South Africa, and "kumi", a word that means ten in several African languages, referencing the year 2010
This man has so much power, he can destroy Messi's entire career and life with a mere thought, he can make Neymar lose millions of dollars by just playing, he can destroy Maradona in seconds, and he can 99-0 Cristiano Ronaldo in any moment of his life. There's no stopping this man-cheetah-green hair-mascot-thing. It's been so many years, he's no longer present in any world cup, and yet, he's going mad with power, going on a one man assault on the wicked (FIFA) and to take revenge against everyone who forgot him
@@juanchi2668 you shure i bet in 100$ that each of our serbians can beat him Especialy Mitrogol Beaten Ronaldo like a pro, can beat Messi with no problems Beckam cant stand aginst him He is serbian he is Mitorvić
que hicieran la peli de el WOW imaginense ZakuMi el pequeño leopardo! jejej que imaginacion pero al ver estas imagenes me acorde de la peli el Rey leon
Eh more people remember zakumi and much more memorable moments so he def takes 1st tbh. Most people forgot about fuluca unless you mention the 7-1 loss that year Edit: just saw your account and it makes sense lol

Was this promo animated with Adobe Flash? I just completed a college Flash animation class and I recognize some of the effects that I've used in some of my class projects.
I love how the animation quality changes from "that one flash game you loved" to "Cartoon Network hit" every ~5 seconds
I can see that the animator improved every second when making this
bro what you on about it looks like flash EVERY FRAME
His movements and animation almost remind me of Supa Strikas show, maybe the same animator made on Zakumi too. ZAKUMI IS CUTE AND AWESOME!
boy! Are you alive now?
What about la eeb?
Sigues vivo?

This comes from the Wikipedia article:
bro this is so old
@@battleshipiowa2052 Imagine replying to a 12 year old comment
@@bouncy372 ye lol
Like I think Kumi means ten in swahili for example.
13 years of this video… and it’s still being cute and cool.
I love Zakumi!! He’s sooo cute!!
No matter how many years have passed :)
Who out there still remembers Zakumi even now in 2020?
Me

Mitrović appears.
Zakumi: a creeper aw man
Zakumi left the chat
@@PyroArcherShorts yeah, he doesn't have time to play with him. Sad, cause he would have been a great addition to Zakumi's corpse collection
@@juanchi2668 you shure i bet in 100$ that each of our serbians can beat him
Especialy Mitrogol

It's way better than the 2012 olympic games mascots.
Cute as in Kawaiii
Go Zakumi

The Animation of Zakumi kind of reminds me of Go Diego >> or Alfred the Hedgehog which is still adorable and cute and very good skills too :3
