ST. LOUIS – McDonald’s has partnered with the popular anime series “Jujutsu Kaisen” to introduce a new app-exclusive garlic sauce. Starting July 9, fans of the series can enjoy this special sauce. Each purchase also comes with a 30-day free trial of Crunchyroll.
The new dipping sauce, called Special Grade Garlic Sauce, features a blend of garlic and soy sauce with a hint of spicy sweetness. This sauce is inspired by the Black Garlic Sauce from McDonald’s Japan.
The sauce packaging will include eight different lid designs featuring characters from the anime series. Fans can collect them all:
Yuji Itadori: A rare talent who can withstand Sukuna’s poison and become his human vessel.
Megumi Fushiguro: A prodigy enrolled as a 2nd-grade sorcerer and the only first-year student allowed to carry out solo missions.
Nobara Kugisaki: A determined 3rd-grade jujutsu sorcerer who moved to Tokyo from the countryside.
Satoru Gojo: The most powerful special grade sorcerer and a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
Kento Nanami: A junior of Gojo who became a salaryman but later returned to become a 1st-grade sorcerer – the epitome of adulthood.
Suguru Geto: A villainous special grade sorcerer aiming to create a world for sorcerers free of humans.
Mahito: A curse originating from humans, capable of altering a person’s appearance by touching their soul.
Sukuna: A king who lived over a thousand years ago and continues to pose a threat even after death.
Customers can get the Special Grade Garlic Sauce for free with any order of chicken nuggests, or they can add it to their meal on the McDonald’s App. Each purchase includes a 30-day free trial of Crunchyroll, where fans can watch “Jujutsu Kaisen” and other anime shows. Terms for the Crunchyroll trial offer apply.
Previously, McDonald’s has collaborated on other anime-inspired projects, such as the ‘WcDonalds’ campaign launched on February 26. This campaign transformed McDonald’s into a WcDonald’s universe in over 30 markets worldwide, featuring a new sauce, manga-inspired packaging, and episode shorts.
