The fusion of anime and fast food has taken a delightful turn with the collaboration between Burger King and One Piece in France this month. One Piece, being one of the longest-running and immensely popular anime series, has a dedicated fan base always eager for anything related to the show. This collaboration is poised to be a success for the restaurant chain, tapping into the enthusiasm of One Piece enthusiasts.
Running for a span of two months, from January 23rd to March 18th, this special collaboration introduces two new menu items: the Luffy Burger, featuring a beef patty with barbecue sauce, and the Sanji Burger, boasting a chicken fillet with mustard. Adding to the excitement, the collaboration includes exclusive One Piece-themed Top Trumps cards, totaling 60 cards in all.
Beyond the culinary offerings, fans have the opportunity to grab One Piece-themed shirts featuring the characters Luffy and Sanji. Sporting two distinct designs, both shirts proudly display the text “Boat of the Whopper.” Additionally, the collaboration brings forth a unique Burger King crown inspired by One Piece, blending the iconic straw hat of Luffy with the regality of a crown.
While this collaboration is undoubtedly a fantastic concept, the current downside is that it is limited to Burger King locations in France. As of now, there is no information on whether this captivating collaboration will extend to Burger King restaurants in the United States. The situation remains uncertain, leaving fans to wonder if this anime-inspired menu and merchandise will make its way across the Atlantic.
Despite the current limitation, there’s hope that if there’s enough interest and demand from fans, Burger King may consider bringing this One Piece collaboration to its American outlets. The anticipation might even grow as fans await the second season of the live-action Netflix adaptation of One Piece, scheduled for release in November of this year. So, while the collaboration is currently exclusive to France, enthusiasts in other regions can only hope for its eventual expansion to other parts of the world, including the United States.
