One of the most intriguing developments of early 2025 was the collaboration between theNarutofranchise and the fast food chain Burger King. While not unusual for a beloved anime to be featured in a restaurant’s time-limited promotion, what caught many fans' eyes was the fact that this event was exclusive to France.
Since then, the community has been wondering if the collab will ever be available for fans who live in the U.S.A. After many months of waiting, it seems like their dreams will finally come true, asNarutotoys will soon be included with Burger King’s kids' meals. Nonetheless, not every aspect of the promo will come to America.
Naruto Will Soon Invade American Burger Kings
The Blonde Ninja and His Friends Have Finally Arrived
In January 2025, Burger King France announced via social media that the fast-food chain would be releasing a time-limited collab with theNarutofranchise, one ofthe best anime in history. Many American fans expected to hear that the promotion would arrive in the U.S.A. shortly after it ended in Europe. Lamentably, this was not the case for many months.
Recently, the fast-food giant shocked fans by subtly revealing that the collab withNarutowould indeed be arriving in America sooner than expected.Commencing June 11, 2025, fans will be able to purchase a limited-edition King Jr. Mealthat will include a commemorative toy ofNaruto’s best and most iconic characters.
These figures will include powerful ninjas such as the titular protagonist, his rival Sasuke, their teammate Sakura, and their teacher Kakashi. The promotion will only last until the merchandise is sold out, so fans must be quick if they want to add these special items to their collection, as it is unlikely they will last long.
American Fans Will Not Enjoy the Complete Collab
The Special Burgers Will Not Be Released
Although the release ofNarutoand Burger King’s collab in America has caused much hype among fans, it is sadly far less exciting than the one sold in France early in the year. Besides the charming toys, European fans also had the possibility of buying themed meals, inspired byanime’s best rivals, Naruto and Sasuke.
The reason why this part of the collab will not arrive in America has not been revealed by the fast-food chain, and it will likely not be in the near future. Still, it is amazing to know that such an incredible show likeNarutowill be receiving a small but significant homage thanks to Burger King.
