Days before the opening of the massive new Tokyo theme park, Aquapolis, Zenigata is charged with the safety of two rare photographic plates of the last Tokugawa shogun to be displayed as part of the park's opening exhibit.

Things are not going to be easy this time, however; the residence of millionaire park and plate owner Michael Suzuki is a tower of frighteningly advanced techonolgy. Complicating things, Jigen is suffering from a toothache that throws off his legendary aim, and Goemon has had his beloved sword stolen by collector Suzuki.
