Burger King’s Dragon Ball Menu Hits Flavor 9,000
Burger King is launching a new line of Dragon Ball Super-themed food items, bringing the anime’s high-kicking action to the drive-thru menu.
New Sauces and Drinks Arrive at Burger King
The fast-food chain is partnering with the long-running franchise for a limited-time collection that includes a dipping sauce and a lemonade. The collaboration comes as the “Dragon Ball” series prepares for a fall 2026 return with “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus.” This marks the third time the restaurant has teamed up with the intellectual property, following a 2000 kids’ meal and a 2003 promotion featuring star-shaped nuggets.
Available nationwide starting September 1, the collection includes the “Dragon Ball Super Power Up Pack.” This adult meal features a 10-piece order of Chicken Nuggets, a medium order of fries, the new Super Saiyan Sauce, and a Dragon Ball Burst Lemonade. The meal also includes one of six collectible figures. A separate “Dragon Ball Super King Jr. Meal” is available for children, featuring a choice of burgers, nuggets, or applesauce along with a themed crown.
Taste Test: The Super Saiyan Sauce
When the Super Saiyan Sauce arrived at the table, it looked like an unassuming pile of brownish-burgundy goop. A closer look revealed sesame seeds and flecks of pepper. The aroma reminded the reviewer of a sweet soy glaze found in a typical kitchen refrigerator. The sauce is sold at room temperature, though refrigeration might have been preferred during the tasting.

The flavor profile started with a noticeable sweetness before shifting to a sour-like savoriness. Reviewers noted it tasted very similar to a soy glaze or even a plum sauce, qualities that would pair well with a sandwich. The reviewer found the sauce worked best when paired with the restaurant’s fries, where the saltiness of the side allowed the sauce to stand out more than it did on the nuggets.
While the sauce was designed for the nuggets, dipping the plain fries proved to be a winning combination. The reviewer noted the sauce was excellent enough to consider using on future chicken sandwiches or Whoppers.
Taste Test: Dragon Ball Burst Lemonade
The Dragon Ball Burst Lemonade offered a more colorful presentation. The cup features an image of Son Goku in a fist-wrapping salute, accompanied by a knowing smile. The beverage itself displays a gradient from tranquil yellow at the top to a bright orange at the bottom, with mango boba pearls visible inside.
The drink smelled like standard sugary lemonade, hiding the fruit flavor until it was consumed. The first sip was sickly sweet, but the subsequent sips revealed a strong mango and peach flavor profile. The lemonade base got lost in the mix, but the reviewer did not mind. The drink contained 270 calories and 68 grams of sugar in a medium size.

The popping boba added a burst of texture and an extra splash of fruit flavor. The straw size was appropriate for the small pearls, allowing the reviewer to enjoy the boba at the bottom of the cup. A medium-sized drink retailed for $3.89 at the location visited.
This meal offers a distinct balance of flavors. The sweetness of the lemonade complements the savory nature of the sauce and fried chicken. The combination creates a pairing that feels more cohesive than the individual items might suggest on their own. For fans of the series, the collectible toys provide a tangible reward for the purchase, adding a layer of fun to the standard fast-food experience. The availability of the sauce and lemonade à la carte also gives customers the option to customize their orders without buying the full meal kit.
Menu Details and Pricing
Both the Super Saiyan Sauce and the Dragon Ball Burst Lemonade can be ordered separately, with the sauce available for $0.60. A single cup of the sauce contains 54 calories, 11 grams of sugar, and 321 milligrams of sodium.
Items in the Dragon Ball Super collaboration are available when breakfast ends and the daytime menu begins. They are set to remain on menus for a limited time while supplies last.
