In this episode of Toriko, viewers are taken to Gourmet Town, a city dedicated to satisfying the appetites of its visitors with a vibrant food culture. The focus of the episode is on the city's most famous attraction, the Bellyfull Amusement Park, a unique theme park designed entirely around food.
The episode begins with protagonist Toriko and his friend Komatsu arriving in Gourmet Town, eager to explore the city's many culinary delights. However, as they wander the streets, they begin to hear rumors of a strange phenomenon: visitors to the Bellyfull Amusement Park are inexplicably disappearing, leaving no trace behind.
Despite the ominous rumors, Toriko and Komatsu are determined to visit the park and see it for themselves. As they approach the entrance, they are struck by the park's unique design, with colorful food-based rides and attractions at every turn. From a rollercoaster shaped like a giant piece of sushi to a merry-go-round featuring animal-shaped rice dishes, the Bellyfull Amusement Park is a food lover's paradise.
However, as Toriko and Komatsu explore the park's many offerings, they begin to notice something unusual. Many visitors seem to be eating unusual foods, including rare and exotic ingredients that are difficult to find outside of Gourmet Town. As they try to solve the mystery of the park's disappearances, Toriko and Komatsu start to suspect that the food itself might be the cause.
Their suspicions are confirmed when they stumble upon a secret area of the park, where the owners are holding a hidden cooking competition. The contestants are all using illegal, genetically-modified ingredients to create the most unique and flavorful dishes possible, causing those who eat them to vanish without a trace.
With this discovery, Toriko and Komatsu spring into action to take down the shady competition and save the park's visitors from their perilous meals. In a thrilling showdown, Toriko uses his incredible strength and food-based abilities to defeat the competitors and put a stop to their dangerous practices.
As the episode comes to a close, Toriko and Komatsu reflect on the day's events and the danger that lurks beneath the surface of Gourmet Town's food culture. Though the Bellyfull Amusement Park remains a beloved destination for food lovers everywhere, Toriko and Komatsu make a vow to continue fighting those who would exploit the power of food for their own gain.
