Meanwhile, Toriko and the other Four Kings, Starjun, Midora and the monstrous Eight Kings take on Neo and Acacia and are felled one by one. Things go from bad to worse when the Blue Nitro assist Acacia with fully reviving Neo! Will Toriko and his friends be able to pull through and save the world from being devoured?
