What surprised many viewers was that the program’s website team had chosen to mark the moment with a gift for him on what he called an anniversary. On Monday, Orestes stepped onto the stage to express gratitude first for the friendship of the latest guests of the show: Nerea Rodríguez, Luis Larrodera, Cristina Rodríguez and Fernando Ramos. He also offered thanks to the show’s digital team for a thoughtful present they brought along: the shirt he wore.
Shirt that can be a talisman
What does the shirt symbolize? The suit is gray with a single illustration on the front. It was inspired by the video game Majora’s Mask from Zelda, created by Vincent Trinidad. The model is named The legendary Ukiyo-e. It has been worn as casual attire so far, but when the meaning behind the shirt is revealed, the same garment takes on new significance, especially given the moment Pablo Díaz wore it when he claimed a Pasapalabra jackpot.
Indeed, the contestant who wore the shirt on that jackpot day walked away with 1,828,000 euros after 260 showings, which adds a layer of superstition to the garment. While Orestes has not yet won the jackpot himself, having accumulated more than 1,700,000 euros, some viewers wonder if he will wear the shirt daily going forward. Regardless, the item has become a potential lucky charm, a playful talisman that adds a dash of drama and perhaps some extra good luck to the game as it unfolds.

Pasapalabra continues to break records, and a fresh milestone recently drew attention to Orestes, a Burgos native, and to Rafa Castaño as well. They are tied for the most duels in the show’s history, boasting 103 confrontations combined. This achievement underscores the intense rivalry and enduring appeal of the game for the audience.

With these milestones in place, the program looks toward the possibility of securing a new landmark in its history, as it continues to pursue what would be the fourth largest jackpot ever awarded on Pasapalabra. The anticipation among fans remains palpable as the competition presses on and new records loom on the horizon.
