2026 has shaped up to be a significant year for the Dragon Ball franchise. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus premieres this Fall, Xenoverse 2 just wrapped up a decade-long run with its final DLC pack, and the series remains extremely healthy, despite no anime nor manga actively running. With Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol set to adapt the Moro Saga presumably sometime next year, there's no shortage of Dragon Ball content for fans to dig their teeth into.
Soon to be literally, in the case of Dragon Ball's latest collaboration. For the third time ever, Dragon Ball and Burger King are partnering up. A leaked image online confirmed the existence of Dragon Ball-themed food items at Burger King, as well as what might very well be King Jr. Meal toys. According to BK employees, Dragon Ball and Burger King's collaboration is set to go live next month, in the first week of September.
Burger King is Getting a Dragon Ball Super Themed Menu & Goodies
A Burger King employee leaked images of several Dragon Ball Super items that'll be coming to BK in September. The collaboration will feature Super Saiyan Sauce, though the flavor is unclear. A new drink will also be available, as well as a Goku cup. The Burger King crown has also been redesigned to feature Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, Super Saiyan Blue Goku, Piccolo, and Beerus. Interestingly, the crown seems to be using the original Dragon Ball Super logo, not the revised one for DBS: Beerus and The Galactic Patrol.
Also leaked was an image of a box featuring two pictures of Vegeta, one in his base form and another in Super Saiyan. Vegeta's design heavily suggests this is a mini-figure that'll be available in King Jr. Meals. The fact the box only depicts Vegeta seems to imply that he'll be the only toy in the line, though it's possible there are other boxes for the remaining characters featured on the crown. If so, the complete toy line might end up looking like: Base Goku, Super Saiyan God Goku, Base Vegeta, Super Saiyan Vegeta, Piccolo, Beerus. We'll know all the details when the collaboration kicks off next month.
The Series' Comeback is Closer Than Ever
Burger King's September collaboration with Dragon Ball Super feels perfectly timed to set up the series' return. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will realistically air in October, allowing BK's September lead-in to drum up interest with fans. 2026 and 2027 are going to be amazing for Dragon Ball. The Dragon Ball Super remake is going to fix the original anime's problems, Dragon Ball Super 2 will finally adapt the Sagas set after DBS: Broly, and the manga is set to come back any day now.
Best case scenario, the Dragon Ball Super manga's comeback is announced at NYCC (hopefully with the premiere of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus). It'll take Dragon Ball Super 2 a few years to catch up to Toyotarou, but he needs to get the Black Frieza Saga started sooner rather than later. Especially if the series is going to have a real future beyond Goku flying off with Uub at the End of Z.
