McDonald’s Japan<\/a><\/cite> teased a new collaboration with the Saint Seiya<\/a><\/cite> franchise<\/a><\/cite> on Wednesday by posting an image of the iconic circlet worn by Saint Seiya<\/cite> protagonist Pegasus Seiya with the caption, \u201cThis light\u2026 it’s Pegasus ___?!\u201d An image of Japan with four silhouetted McDonald’s<\/a><\/cite> menu items followed the caption, \u201cThe chosen gourmet, assemble!\u201d<\/p>\n

A handful of replies to the initial post poked fun at Saint Seiya<\/cite> with images from several live-action adaptations of the franchise<\/cite>, particularly the 1991 Bandai Super Musical Saint Seiya<\/cite><\/i> starring the six members of idol group SMAP<\/a><\/cite>. A separate joke reply features Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters<\/a><\/cite> character Pegasus J. Crawford wearing the circlet.<\/p>\n

The next day, McDonald’s Japan<\/cite> formally unveiled the Saint Seiya<\/cite> collaboration menu with burgers inspired by regional dishes: the Hokkaido Jaga Cheese Teriyaki (Hokkaido Potato Cheese Teriyaki), Nagoya Meibutsu Tebasakifu Kurogoma Juicy Chicken (Nagoya Chicken Wings-Style Black Pepper Juicy Chicken), and Hakata Mentai Butter Teriyaki (Hakata Marinated Roe Butter Teriyaki). The burgers will go on sale for a limited time beginning on May 20.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s Japan<\/cite> released four commercials for the collaboration, set to Saint Seiya<\/cite>‘s opening theme song, \u201cPegasus Fantasy.\u201d The first commercial features all three of the limited-time burgers. The final three feature the burgers individually. Appropriately, comedian Seiya Ishikawa of the Shimofuri My\u014dj\u014d (literally, “Late Autumn Venus” but also a wordplay on marbled beef) duo stars in these ads:<\/p>\n
