Many fans are expressing their enthusiasm over the collaboration and are eagerly anticipating what exclusive items might be available in this promotion. One user writes, "That's JOJO! KFC has again collaborated. And with the sixth season of the Sea of Stones? Why isn't it with the Wind of Gold instead?" Another user expresses similar sentiment, stating that they will likely purchase items during the campaign, but only if there are "coincidental synchronizations of 3 or 5," implying that they are interested in specific items being offered as part of the promotion.
However, not all reactions have been positive. Some users have expressed disappointment over KFC's choice to collaborate with "The Sea of Rocks" rather than other seasons of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. One user writes, "Why didn't they choose Wind of Gold instead? Why not a Starshaft Army or Jojo Baby Angel collaboration?" This frustration is echoed by another netizen who states that their past experiences with KFC's collaborations have left them feeling frustrated and disappointed.
The announcement has also sparked some humorous reactions, with one user joking that KFC's marketing strategy seems to be an attempt to seduce consumers with the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure collaboration. Another user pokes fun at KFC for their choice of collaborations, saying "Good news, JOJO has collaborated; bad news, the Sea of Stones refused."
While some users are excited about the potential items that could be offered in this promotion, others express discontent with past KFC collaborations. One user states that they would like to see more thoughtful exclusives as gifts before they consider making a purchase. Another netizen laments that McDonald's might taste better than KFC, despite their disappointment over the lack of exclusive items available during previous collaborations.
In Guangzhou and Foshan, fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to try KFC's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure-inspired menu items. One user in particular expresses hope that the pork belly dish will be prepared crispy, a popular style of cooking in Guangdong region where Guangzhou and Foshan are located.
In conclusion, KFC's collaboration with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has generated mixed reactions among Weibo netizens. Some fans are excited about the potential items that might be offered during this promotion, while others express disappointment over past collaborations and their lack of thoughtful exclusives. The excitement for the new menu items in Guangzhou and Foshan is palpable, and it remains to be seen how KFC will satisfy these fans' desires with their latest collaboration.
