Breaking News: Umbrella Corporation Sues Nissin at Raccoon High Court Over Possible Intellectual Property Infringement
The Umbrella Corporation appearing in the Resident Evil series is an international pharmaceutical enterprise whose corporate motto is "Preserving the Health of the People."
A video was released on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, in which Umbrella Corporation sues Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd., claiming that Cup Noodle, which resembles the company's instant food Umbrella Noodle, is infringing on its intellectual property.
...Of course, this is a joke.
Capcom Co., Ltd. has launched a collaboration project with Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd. to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Resident Evil series.
The video released this time also introduces a method to achieve a 99.9% recreation of the Umbrella Noodle—which is rumored to use mysterious meat—by using Nissin's Cup Noodle, including the following ingredients:
- 1 Cup Noodle
- Cooked Offal (Motsu)
- Basil Sauce (appropriate amount)
Detailed recipes can be confirmed in the video titled Breaking News: Umbrella Corporation Sues Nissin Food Products.
