The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The pursuers of food, the Bishokuya, seek out multitudes of ingredients.
And there was one Bishokuya that sought the pinnacle of ingredients of this world, God.

Komatsu in Trouble!?
Triathlon Cooking!
Now everybody...
It's time for this monumental 50th Cooking Festival!
The 100 chefs are now all gathered here in Cooking Stadium!
Hey, you done yet, Rin?!
The Fest's already starting!
Hold on, baldy!
It's really hard to get these guys to listen to me!
This is an opportunity to show everyone your skills as a wild beast tamer!
Those are the clones we prepared specifically for this day.
So make sure you get them under control!
And hey, did you just call me hand-
I did not!
We'll be able to depart momentarily, Shige-san.
All right, hurry.
This may be the final Fest.
This stadium's so hot with excitement, it truly feels like we're in an oven!
Now then, we'll have a delicious word from the man elected by the IGO's chief member states, Judge Patch of G7.
The 100 men and women gathered here today represent the Gourmet Age.
These chefs are truly treasures of the world.
Among them are many chefs participating for the very first time.
And though it's their first appearance...
Chef Komatsu!
Go get 'em!
What an incredible lineup.
I really do get super up-tight when the moment comes, don't I?
Aw man! Matsu's design is going really off-model!
It's okay, Komatsu!
I know you can do it! Have confidence!
Show the whole world what you've got!
Toriko-san...
My combo partner is the Toriko-san.
I've got to take this on with confidence!
And for this festival's milestone edition,
I am anticipating from the pit of my stomach, many battles of top-class taste that will engrave themselves on my tongue and in my mind.
And so ladies and gentleman, I wish you a good festival.
Thank you, Judge Patch!
Okay everyone, it'll be just a moment before the preliminaries begin!
Are you Chef Komatsu?
I've been wanting to meet you.
The famous oil user, Chef Wabutora!
That Mors Oil you discovered is a magnificent oil.
I've had the opportunity to use it for deep frying in my shop.
You have my thanks.
I'm so glad I could be of help!
Though I didn't find that oil on my own.
A-Anyhow, it's an honor!
I've read all your books, Chef Wabutora!
I even preordered "You and I are Water and Oil".
Ah, thank you.
Miso Soup Granny, Granny Kama
That Mors Oil is a favorite of mine as well.
The Miso Soup Granny, Chef Granny Kama!
Just a drop of it really brings out the flavor of miso soup.
S-Scary.
For me, I think founding the Medicinal Cooking Mochi method is the most moving accomplishment.
Mach Cooking Ton
I'm delighted to meet you, Chef Komatsu.
If I were there for the Four Beast thing,
I'll betcha we could've made double the amount...
Of that Medicinal Cooking Mochi!
Just double?
Super Gutsy Udon Nerimaru
I'll bet ya I couldda whipped up three 'er four times the mochi.
You think with a frame like that you can cook faster than me?
Quit talking in your sleep, Nerimaru.
Hey, you're always sleeping whenever I see you, ain'cha?
Your eyes are closed!
They're not closed! They're just narrow!
Ah, they opened.
I told you, they were already open!
Cooking isn't better just because it's faster, boys.
Soba Hermit Kamizaru
Soba Hermit, Kamizaru!
If you seek speed...
You will find it hard to achieve richness.
He sure has a thick, rich looking face...
Yes.
I'd believe anyone with such a face.
U-Um, if you don't mind, would you all sign these?
That's a lot of autograph papers!
Youth sure is nice.
Isn't that right, Zaus-chan?
The people of the next generation.
Perhaps it is finally time for us to pass the baton, Setsu-san?
You mean retirement?
Chefs know no such word.
I won't be retiring as long as customers eat.
Bishokushin Acacia's partner, Frohze-sama's final moments
were spent holding a kitchen knife, facing a chopping board.
A chef retires when he or she dies.
In that case, we cannot turn it over to the young ones just yet.
The title of Supercook.
I don't plan on handing it over to you, either.
All the years you were champion,
were years in which I was too busy to appear, isn't that right?
Then how about we settle it this year, Setsu-san?
Just what I was hoping to hear!
These chefs have already sparked a massive flame.
Have they already started to prepare for the first battle?!
As a result of those events,
the faces in the top-100 sure are different this fest.
But the favorites are the same as always...
Around the ranks of National Treasure Setsuno and Cooking King Zaus.
Oh, is Chef Branchi away this time as well?
I know you love to root for dark horses, Patch-shi. Any predictions?
Hm, dark horses? Well there certainly are some here.
Among the newcomers.
Now then, without further ado, let's get going!
First we have the first round of the preliminaries!
Eh, already?
The food endurance race made up of swimming, biking, and running.
Here, we call it Triathlon Cooking!
Triathlon?!
Why?
In this relentless Gourmet Age,
stamina is a crucial quality even for a chef.
It'll be a chance for the chefs to show off the stamina they've honed over their daily lives.
Um, I haven't honed that at all actually.
Let's do it!
Okay, no problem!
In this event, 50 of the 100 participants will be dropping out.
Half the group?!
We'll now be moving to the arena for the first preliminary, Triathlon Cooking.
Although it's called a triathlon, the real battle is culinary in principle.
So even the chefs that don't have much stamina will be okay?
Yes.
Rice Beach
Delivery Pass
Takoyaki Island
It starts with a swim.
The chefs leave Rice Beach and loop around Takoyaki Island, then they pick up ingredients when they get back to land.
Konpeitou Ridge
Okaka Hill
Natural Stone
Bridge
Rice Beach
Delivery Ridge
Tofu Wasteland
Then they transport those ingredients on bikes
and travel across Tofu Wasteland, an area with a rigid ground having the texture of frozen tofu.
Then they start running. They must pass the Konpeitou Ridge, covered in slender spikes,
Stadium Dome
Konpeitou Ridge
Tofu Wasteland
Natural Stone
Bridge
Okaka Hill
then they pick up tools at the cooking utensils station located at the sheer cliffs of Okaka Hill,
and then they'll start cooking when they reach the cooking station at the goal.
There, the chefs that complete the 50 most delicious dishes will progress to the next round.
So it's not just a competition of speed, eh?
Of course, those that are faster will have the advantage of being able to use tastier ingredients.
So contestants like Matsu that get there late will have to make up for it with their cooking skills.
Well, I guess that chefs of the Gourmet Age need to have a certain degree of endurance.
Hey! What're you doing, just chowing down on your own over there?!
Now then, please begin the broadcast report!
You've got it! We're here at Cooking Island's famous spot, Rice Beach.
Please take a look at this white sand!
It's actually all grains of rice!
A heaping helping of it!
50th CF Triathlon Cooking
Triathlon Cooking will be starting from this beach.
I can't do this.
I'm gonna drop out in the preliminaries, I know it.
Please give me strength, Toriko-san.
Toriko?
Watching Zebra eat got me hungry.
Man, this is good!
Hey!
Keep more grub coming, dammit!
Those two...
This man will be signaling the start of the race.
With an impressive World Chef Ranking of 2,715?
You moron, it's 2,714!
We have the sushi chef of "Fortune Telling Sushi", Chef Monchy.
Uh, who's that?
Huh? Why him?
Hey, don't belittle me, moron!
Moron!
Would you please enter the ring, Chef Monchy?
I got it, moron!
Now everyone has started at once!
The 50th Cooking Festival is now underway!
Aw man!
The friggin' Fest's started already!
Hold on!
They started!
Go for it, Granny Setsu!
Zaus!
Fight on, Chef Komatsu!
It started!
Matsu, you'd better not lose!
Do your best, Komacchan, Granny Sumire!
Even the audience is in a fit of excitement!
And you can be sure this energy and fervor is spreading all throughout the world!
All for this delicious moment that is the start of the first preliminary!
In the 49 previous years, we've achieved an astounding 95% viewership rating!

Now the chefs have all begun swimming!
This swim is about 1.5 kilometers.
They'll be making a round trip to Takoyaki Island, located 750 meters from the shore, and back to Rice Beach!
It looks like the first one to break ahead of the pack is Undersea Restaurant Pioneer, Mami!
He is part of a combo with the undersea ingredient Bishokuya, Makky.
Undersea Restaurant Pioneer Mami
But he's an incredibly skilled chef fully capable of exploring the sea by himself!

Oh! Chef Komatsu-san is getting a very, very, late start.
Man, he's slow! Or uh, is he drowning?!
Aw, geez. Does Matsu not know how ta swim?
Ah, well...
Now that I think of it, he didn't really do any swimming back when we captured the Puffer Whale.
There's a Voice Lifejacket for ya.
Now hurry up and get swimmin', kid.
Zebra-san!
Thank you so much!
Okay, now I...
What's up?
Are you all right, Komatsu-kun?
Setsuno-san!
I came back because it looked like you might be drowning.
But... Huh? Setsuno-san...
Are you floating on the water?
No, not at all.
But, yes you are.
You're definitely floating on top of it.
No, no. Take a good look.
Before one foot sinks, I'm just stepping with the other foot.
And repeating that.
Oh, I see.
There's no way that's possible, is it?!
What sort of superhuman technique is that?!
Anyhow, looks like you're okay, so I'll be going on ahead.
We're rivals in this Fest, remember.
We're competing fair and square, Komatsu-kun.
Hiya! Hiya! Hiya!
She's fast.
Okay, I'm not losing either!
We're competing fair and square, Komatsu-kun.
That's right.
This is Cooking Festival.
A precious opportunity to compete seriously with Setsuno-san and the others.
Zebra-san, please remove this life jacket!
I'm going to fight fair and square...
With my own strength!
Komatsu.
Do what ya want.
Really.
I didn't care if ya won or lost to begin with.
But if you were to form a combo with me...
Okay, here goes!
Wait for me, Setsuno-san!
Listen, you!
He's getting cocky.
Komatsu, I know you'll be okay.
