The official Twitter account of Kentucky Fried Chicken Spain has become the center of attention on social media once again, thanks to its strategy of sharing memes and anime-related content. This time, his choice to present a hamburger next to a small figure of Makimaone of the most popular characters in the anime franchise “Chainsaw Man“, has generated a great stir among fans and lovers of fast food.
However, the initial enthusiasm has been dampened by a series of startling discoveries. First, it was revealed that the photo shared by KFC Spain had been stolen from another Twitter account, without consent or proper attribution. This has sparked an online debate about the ethics of using third-party content without permission and has led users to demand greater responsibility and respect for the original creators.
But that is not all. The controversy intensified when netizens discovered that the hamburger in the original image belonged to the Burger King fast food chain. KFC Spain had done a misleading edit to make it look like their own. Although the manipulation was evident to some, other users felt deceived into believing they were looking at an original KFC Spain creation.

Meanwhile, fans of “Chainsaw Man” are still waiting for the official announcement of a sequel to the anime adaptation, while keeping hopes high thanks to previous leaks already ensuring that a movie and a second season are on the way, albeit with a change in direction of the project.
