Users crack up as IShowSpeed keeps kissing a Sichuan opera performer, triggering endless mask changes

IshowSpeed just experienced an up-close-and-personal interaction with Sichuan Opera—literally. During his wacky China escapades, it seems one interesting Sichuan Opera performer invited IShowSpeed over for a cheek kiss, and with every kiss, the performer's mask changed.

Speed, being Speed, went all in, making what was supposed to be an experience about culture a cameo for an unwitting comedy sketch. If this keeps up, he could unwittingly become China's newest opera sensation. With each kiss, the mask transformed, leaving IShowSpeed in complete shock—his reactions more operatic than the opera itself.

But by his face, he was living his best life, perhaps wondering if he had just discovered a new superpower. As soon as the video went viral, someone took to his X account and commented:

"Speed kissing for mask magic? Bro’s out here playing face-swap IRL!"

As IShowSpeed continued to kiss the Sichuan Opera artist and observe the masks shifting, someone on X likened his reaction to a monkey discovering technology for the first time.

With every mask flip, IShowSpeed's brain would short-circuit, eyes opening wide like he had unlocked a new plane of reality. Whether he perceived it as culture or raw magic, one thing was for sure—he was absolutely, 100% not prepared for it.

The internet has not wasted time in making IShowSpeed's Sichuan Opera experience into comedy. From individuals likening his reaction to a cartoon character glitching to others believing he just learned about real-world sorcery, the memes are coming in thick and fast.

Let's take a look at the best fan reactions before IShowSpeed kisses another mask and unwittingly opens a portal to another dimension.

What is Sichuan Opera?

Sichuan Opera is one of the most famous Chinese operas! It is essentially the ultimate special effects extravaganza—except it's real. With mask changes that occur in the blink of an eye and feel like a magic illusion, thundering gongs that command your attention, and costumes with titles like Anaconda and Dependent Child, it's a performance that leaves you wondering.

Mix in the melodramatic music, and you have an art form that is part theater, part illusion, and 100% captivating.
