A SciFi JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains plot details for an upcoming film.

Toho Co., Ltd. has provided information and photos from their new movie TRILLION GAME (劇場版『トリリオンゲーム』, Gekijō-ban “Toririon Gēmu”), which opens in Japanese cinemas on February 14th.

INTRODUCTION

Market capitalization of the world's largest company = 1 trillion dollars.
Earn 1 trillion dollars and get everything in the world.

The unbeatable buddy team of the master communicator Haru and the talented engineer Gaku take on the world!

The popular manga Trillion Game by writer Riichiro Inagaki and artist Ryoichi Ikegami has been serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comics Superior since 2020. It was nominated for the manga award "Manga Taisho 2022" and won the "69th Shogakukan Manga Award", and has exceeded 2.1 million copies in total circulation. In the story, two polar opposites, Haru Tennoji, a selfish "world-changing braggart" who is a natural charmer, and Manabu "Gaku" Taira, a timid but kind-hearted skilled engineer, team up to start a company from scratch, and with an unpredictable strategy, earn 1 trillion dollars, and rise to the top to obtain everything in this world. The manha is currently being released in English by VIZ Media.

An anime version premiered on TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) in October 2024, and is now available to stream in English on Crunchyroll. TBS also aired a 10-episode live-action series, which debuted in July 2023 and starred singer Ren Meguro from the idol group Snow Man as Haru and Hayato Sano (TOKYO MER: Mobile Emergency Room - THE MOVIE) as Gaku. It is available to watch with English subtitles in North America on Netflix.

In the drama series, Haru and Gaku are two nobodies who start a business with zero capital and zero business plan. They try their hands at hacker competitions, e-commerce sites, flower sales, host clubs, smartphone games, video distribution services, and cashless payments, eventually rising in the business world to challenge the giant corporation "Dragon Bank." In the final episode, Haru declares, "Let's keep going!" though the series ended without revealing what their next step would be.

Now, Haru and Gaku, leaders of Trillion Game, will head to the big screen to take on the challenge of becoming...

"The World's No. 1 Casino King"!?

The next business they will take on is the development of Japan's first casino resort! ! Set in a fascinating locale where romance and desire mix, they will face more difficult and powerful enemies than ever before, and jump into a world of unprecedented danger. What will be their fate...?! ?

Continuing from the television series, the feature film presents a completely new story supervised by the manga's co-creator Riichiro Inagaki, and starring the main cast of the show. The theme song is "SBY" by Ren Meguro's Snow Man, written specifically for the movie.

Bargaining, deception, sweet temptation... who is friend and who is foe? Who will win in this huge money game that is shaking up Japanese society?!
