McDonald’s is collabing with the Dragon Ball Daima franchise to create a line of anime-inspired meals – but they won’t be easy to get.
On November 13,McDonald’sHong Kong announced the special anime collab on Instagram and Facebook with apromotional videofeaturing Kid Goku. The clip shows brand-new combo meals, including fries, a shake, a crispy katsu-style cutlet sandwich, and fried dough balls.
The highlight of the McDonald’s xDragon Ball Daimacollaboration is the Chicken Katsu Burger, available as part of a value meal with fries and a drink for HK$39 (~US$5), discounted from the regular price of HK$45 (~US$6).
Adding a touch of nostalgia, the Crispy Purple Sweet Potato Balls resemble the seven magical Dragon Balls and are priced at HK$9 (~US$1). Fans will also enjoy spotting familiar characters, as Goku isn’t the only one featured –Piccolo and Bulmamake appearances on the packaging.
