(First Part)
The IGO (International Gourmet Organization) is hosting the “World’s Best Eating Tournament” race. Held on a certain island, the tournament’s championship prize is the luxuriously rare “Carat Sizzled Cattle”. Toriko and his friends are aiming for the championship, and the Straw Hat Crew is set to participate in the event as well. And what’s this, it’s Son Goku and co. — the members of Dragon Ball are also competing in the event. Who will be the strongest?! “Toriko vs Luffy vs Goku” can only be seen in this collaboration special! The mightiest decisive showdown is kicking off!!

(Second Part)
The IGO (International Gourmet Organization) is hosting the “World’s Best Eating Tournament” race. When tournament champion Mister Satan¹ serves up the championship prize, Carat Sizzled Cattle, to Luffy, Toriko, Goku, and co., Mansam² reveals the shocking truth. According to him, the tournament has been held in order to lure out the Deep Sea Glutton, Akami, said to suck out the energy of living things. And then, sensing Luffy and co.’s power, Akami appears from out of the depths of the sea, but… the super killer technique of “Toriko+Luffy+Goku” (which can only be seen in this collaboration special) explodes!

¹ “Mister Satan” — A fictional character from “Dragon Ball Z”
² “Mansam” — The director of the IGO “Gourmet Research Institute” in “Toriko”

The TV special — a follow-up to two prior Toriko and One Piece crossovers from the last two years — airs one week after the debut of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods in Japanese theaters.

The three franchises will also be joining forces at some point this year for a PlayStation 3 and Vita team battle crossover game called Project Versus J, which itself has not had any recent developments or updates in quite some time.
