Anime fans, pull out your scouters and clear some space on your display shelves. If you’ve ever wanted to power up your fast-food run to a level over 9,000, Burger King has heard your desperate pleas.
The fast-food giant is officially teaming up with the legendary Dragon Ball franchise to bring a massive crossover to store locations across North America.
Burger King lets the “Dragon” out
After weeks of tantalizing online leaks, employee rumors and an accidental early debut in Mongolia that broke street dates, the cat—or rather, the God of Destruction—is officially out of the bag. Burger King confirmed the collaboration on Instagram, showing off upcoming toys set to land inside King Jr. meals.
If you’re eager to power up your lunchtime routine, you will be even more excited when you find out everything landing on the menu.
The King Jr. meal collectibles
At the core of this Super Saiyan takeover is a set of six mini-figures that look remarkably like the adorable chibi avatars from Dragon Ball FighterZ. Whether you’re a casual fan or a hardcore collector trying to snatch up the entire set, the lineup includes Base Form Goku, Super Saiyan Blue Goku, Base Form Vegeta, Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, Piccolo and Beerus.
The inclusion of Beerus and the Super Saiyan Blue transformations pairs perfectly with the upcoming anime release, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, which aims to remake the classic Battle of Gods and Resurrection F story arcs.
We all know it wouldn’t be a true fast-food takeover without some thematic changes to the food menu itself. Burger King isn’t stopping at collectible figures. The chain is overhauling its packaging and dipping options to give fans a complete Dragon Ball experience.
Alongside the King Jr. meal toys, shoppers will be able to score:
- Super Saiyan Sauce: A brand-new dipping sauce featuring custom packaging (though the exact flavor profile remains a closely guarded secret for now).
- Goku-themed cups: Specially designed beverage cups featuring the iconic Saiyan.
- Redesigned Burger King crowns: The famous paper crowns are getting an anime makeover featuring Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Beerus.
Existing payment options like cash, card, and digital wallets remain unchanged, so you can grab your anime-themed meal with whatever payment method you prefer.
When does the takeover begin?
This isn’t the first time Burger King has hosted the Z-Fighters. Older anime fans might remember previous Dragon Ball Z tie-in toy lines from decades ago, back during the height of the Frieza Saga and early DBZ movies. But this modern return brings the franchise back to fast food in a huge way.
The wait won’t be long, either. The Dragon Ball crossover is officially slated to run at participating Burger King locations in the United States and Canada from early September through October.
So mark your calendars, prepare your appetite, and get ready to trade for your favorite Z-Fighter at the drive-thru.
