The third Toriko film. Shiho Fukano, who worked for a major trading company, was about to marry Akihiro Katsuki. To those around her, she seemed like a woman on the verge of finding happiness.

Determined to do something before Akihiro noticed, Shiho arrived at the man's shop, only to find it empty. But then a car stopped. Standing before Shiho were cold-blooded debt collectors...
