Keep on living just the way you are
Congratulations.
All of you who are present, have passed Phase One.
I wish you all luck on Phase Two.
I'm so glad!
You did it.
Killua!
It's about time.
I'm getting nervous.
We don't know what to expect.
We don't know when we'll be attacked...
Thank you for waiting.
How is it? Buhara, are you getting hungry now?
As you can hear, I'm starving, Menchi.
We, the Gourmet Hunters, are in charge of evaluating Phase Two.
Gourmet Hunters?
What is that?
A Gourmet Hunter searches for all kinds of food throughout the world
to create new cuisine.
Of course, Hunters themselves are excellent cooks as well.
That means the subject will be...
Right! The subject for Phase Two is... cooking.
Cooking?!
Cripes! Why the hell do I have to cook after reaching this far?!
You over there! If you want to complain, go home.
Anyone else who has objections to the test can go home immediately.
It seems no one has any objections.
Anyway, what kind of food do we have to cook?
First, you must cook a dish that I order.
And only those of you who pass will be allowed to cook what I order next.
In short, if both of us say the dish is "delicious,"
you pass Phase Two.
That's not fair!
Whether it's tasty or not depends on the person!
If food that's delicious to us doesn't suit your taste, we'll fail, won't we?!
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Look. As I said a minute ago,
if you don't want to take the test, you're free to go home.
Go on, good-bye.
No kidding! How can I go back after coming this far!
Yeah!
You made a fuss about it
and now you've made matters more complicated!
How annoying.
If you're gonna complain, seriously, go home!
Umm... Can you continue with what you were saying?
In short, if you can make both of us say, "delicious," you pass.
The test will be over when we're both full.
Unlike the man, the woman doesn't look like she eats much.
So it'll eliminate a lot of people.
Damn! I've never cooked in my life.
I never expected this.
I have.
That's unexpected. What can you cook?
Many things.
But my specialty is a bowl of rice with a raw egg on top!
R-Rice with egg?
Uh, I guess that can be described as cooking, but...
The cook doesn't matter much for such a dish.
That's not true. Aunt Mito praised it.
Well, all right. You can cook it for me some day.
For me, too...
Well then...
My order is...
A whole roast pig!
A whole roast pig?
My favorite.
Using the most dangerous pig in the world living in this forest...
The Great Stamp.
Great Stamp?
Phase Two has begun.
The Great Stamp smashes the enemy with its hard snout.
If you fail to dodge it, you will become pig feed.
Leorio...
The head! The head is its weakest point!
I-lts head?
Take this!
Hey, this way. I'm here!
Way to go!
I'm hungry...
Here's your order.
Wow!
Oh! What a big catch... I underestimated the applicants.
That really is a big catch...
But the taste is what matters.
I wonder how many of them can satisfy Gourmet Hunter Buhara
who has the most discriminating taste buds in the world?
Mmm, good!
How many can satisfy...
This is good too!
The one who has the most discriminating taste buds in the world...
Mmm, this is good.
Even a burnt one like that...
Delicious! Great!
Is he really a Gourmet Hunter?
Boy, did I eat! I'm stuffed.
It's over!
Seventy whole roast pigs have been totally consumed!
H-He's a monster...
Hunters are really amazing!
He's great in a way. But I don't want to be like him.
That's strange. I don't get it!
Clearly the volume he ate is much more than his whole body.
Well, you don't have to take it so seriously...
Say, are you going to say "delicious" to all the pigs you ate?
That's not judging!
Who cares?
It worked out in reducing the number.
And besides, this test isn't to evaluate intricate flavor.
You're too easy. Look, you're a Gourmet Hunter.
You have to be true to your calling.
Oh well, I guess I have no choice.
For roasting a whole pig! 70 persons have passed!
All right!
Seventy contenders...
That's a great number indeed.
That pig can be caught easily if struck hard on its forehead.
But hitting it right on that spot
takes courage, decision-making skills, and physical ability.
However, the real problem is just beginning.
She's very tough.
Despite her young age,
she earned the title of a Single Star Hunter as a supreme gourmet.
Gourmet Hunter Menchi!
As one of the best chefs in the world,
she creates elaborate dishes with her fine sense of taste.
To satisfy her deep curiosity, she tries all sorts of foods
and she never forgets a flavor once she tastes it.
At the age of 21, she is a genius, a leader in the world of Gourmet Hunters!
I'm not like Buhara. I won't be easy!
I will judge very harshly.
However, because she's a genius, she can be very whimsical.
If you're not careful, you may fall into a big hole.
The second half of Phase Two! I'm going to order...
Sushi!
Huh?
"Sushi?"
"Sushi?" What is "sushi?"
What kind of dish is that?
Do you know it?
Nope...
What am I supposed to do? I don't have a clue.
To make something totally unfamiliar is impossible...
You guys look very troubled.
Well, I don't blame you for not knowing it.
It's the ethnic cuisine of a small island nation.
I will give you a hint!
Take a good look inside here.
You cook the dish here.
The bare minimum of tools you'll need are provided.
I also prepared the rice which is essential for sushi.
And now, here is the most important hint!
I'm ordering sushi, but it must be nigiri sushi!
All right, you may start! When I'm full, the test will be over!
Prepare as many as you like in the time allowed!
Nigiri sushi...
Do we make it with only rice?
Looking at the tools, it seems we need to use more than that.
This test is mine!
What luck!
I never thought a traditional dish from my country would be the test subject!
But if I act too excited, I'll give away myself to the others.
So it's smarter to feign ignorance and pass this all alone.
Damn... He knows it!
Nigiri...
I kind of have an idea of what it looks like...
But I have no clue about the other ingredients.
Nigiri sushi...
I don't know the exact shape, but I think I've read about it somewhere.
For real?
I believe it's "rice mixed with vinegar and seasonings
served with fresh slices of fish."
Fish?! But we're in the forest!
You're so loud!
You can find fish in the river or pond!
It's fish!
Damn! They were eavesdropping. That's not fair!
If you call that eavesdropping, I'd better stay silent.
Damn, someone other than me knew about it!
Aren't you glad, Gon? Fishing is your specialty, right?
Yup.
Menchi, you're so mean.
Sushi is usually made with saltwater fish, right?
That's why it will be interesting.
I'm tired of ordinary sushi.
I'm very curious to see the peculiar things they'll come up with.
I'm here today more as a cook than a proctor.
I don't know if that's appropriate...
What?
N-Nothing...
As a chef, huh?
I hope she doesn't get into her bad habit...
I'm confident!
Add fresh fish to the rice and mold it... Like this!
I've finished! I'm the first one to finish it!
I call it the "Leorio Special!" Try it!
Let me see...
Like I'd eat that!
Hey! You didn't have to throw it away like that, damn it!
What did you say?! I can disqualify you.
Hurry back to your station!
D-Damn!
Listen up! The shape is important!
If it isn't shaped like nigiri sushi, it's not even worth tasting!
I had confidence in that.
All right. Mine is next!
It's no different from Number 403!
I'm at the same level as Leorio.
I sympathize with you, Gon.
What did you say?
Come on, bring them quickly!
Nope!
Not right!
In a way, it's close!
Next!
No way!
What is this "sushi" anyway?
Not you either!
I can't take my eyes off from this.
Do it over!
Shrimp cocktail, marinated trout with mustard sauce and rice.
It's sushi in Bourgogne style.
That's gross!
Next one. Next!
Damn.
Hey!
I haven't tasted a single one! Are you going to starve me to death?
Seriously... Everyone lacks focus! I've given them so many hints...
Since I have no knowledge of the shape, I must analyze the available data here.
Prepare as many as you like.
The shape is important!
From that comment and the name, "nigiri sushi,"
I can assume that it must be a solid food with a regular shape
like croquette or a hamburger...
And the tool she's holding
and the plate of seasonings placed in front of her...
If she is to pick up a sushi with that tool
and dip it into the sauce in the plate to eat it...
The size is probably that of an egg or smaller!
And if I add fresh fish to it...
I got it!
This must be it!
You're at the same level as the first one!
Is it so shocking to you?
Aaargh! All of you!
It's not even about observing or paying attention.
You guys have no style at all! This is so frustrating!
It's about time for me to step up.
How's this?! This is sushi, isn't it?
Finally something that looks decent.
Let me see...
Nope. It's not tasty! Do it again.
Wh-What did you say?!
A nigiri sushi is rice pressed into a bite-sized rectangular piece
with a dab of wasabi topped with sliced fish meat!
It's a simple dish!
No matter who makes it, it won't make much difference in taste!
Oops...
I see...
So that's what it is.
D-Damn it.
"A simple dish?"
"It won't make much difference?"
Damn you, bastard!
They say it takes at least ten years of training
to be able to make a proper sushi!
No matter how hard you amateurs try to copy the shape,
the flavor is totally different! Idiot!
Then don't pick such a thing as the test subject!
Shut up! You got any complaints?!
Want to die?
Oh man, it's her bad habit again.
Once she loses her temper, she never compromises on flavor.
Only a handful of cooks in the world can satisfy Menchi.
Cooking takes soul.
Aw gee... Shouting made me hungrier.
Now then, the next challenger please.
Here, have mine!
Try mine!
Because of him, everybody now knows how to make it!
I have no choice but to judge on taste alone.
Let me see.
Nope! You pressed the rice too hard and it won't break apart.
Menchi, that's a bit too strict.
You keep your mouth shut!
The fish is cut all wrong!
The shape of the rice is bad! Do it again!
You worked too slowly.
The fish got warmed up by your body temperature!
This is not good either! Do it again!
No good!
Sorry! I'm full.
Huh?!
So what happens now?
Well, just as I told you at the beginning...
It means no one passed.
Come again!
No kidding.
No way...
There's no way I can accept this!
What will happen to the Hunter Exam?
I was confident too.
Can you administer the test once more?
Huh? Furikake over rice?
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Failing x Panic x Heavenly Voice!
Seconds, please!
