McDonald's teams up with hit anime series Jujutsu Kaisen to unleash special grade garlic sauce

McDonald’s is adding some flair to its iconic sauce lineup.

The Golden Arches have partnered with hit anime series “JUJUTSU KAISEN” to launch the new Special Grade Garlic Sauce, exclusively on the McDonald’s App, beginning July 9.

Inspired by the iconic Black Garlic Sauce from McDonald’s Japan, the Special Grade Garlic Sauce features notes of garlic and soy sauce, balanced with a slight tangy sweetness. The sauce will be available for a limited time at participating restaurants.

Each purchase of the sauce also unlocks a 30-day free trial of Crunchyroll, a streaming service where anime fans watch full episodes of “JUJUTSU KAISEN” and a full library of anime content.

The new sauce packaging will feature eight unique lid designs starring fan-favorite characters from the “JUJUTSU KAISEN”:

Yuji Itadori – A rare talent not seen in a thousand years who is able to withstand the poison of Sukuna and become his human vessel.   Megumi Fushiguro – A genius who enrolled as a 2nd grade sorcerer and the only first-year student allowed to carry out solo missions.  Nobara Kugisaki – A strong-willed 3rd grade jujutsu sorcerer who came to Tokyo from the countryside. Satoru Gojo – The strongest special grade sorcerer and teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Kento Nanami – A junior of Gojo who became a salaryman, but later returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High to become a 1st grade sorcerer – the most adult of adults.  Suguru Geto – A villain special grade sorcerer whose goal is to create a paradise for sorcerers, free of humans.  Mahito – A curse that originated from humans who can change the appearance of a person by touching their soul.  Sukuna – The disgraced special grade sorcerer who lived over a thousand years ago and continues to threaten the present world with his reincarnation. 

Fans can catch a sneak peek of the new sauce designs this Sunday as NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace and his 23XI Racing team take on the second annual Chicago Street Race. Wallace’s #23 Toyota Camry will be outfitted in a McDonald’s JUJUTSU KAISEN-themed paint scheme.
