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.

The curtain has finally risen on Cooking Fest!
The preliminary round is a Cooking Triathlon.
Against other cooks boasting overwhelming skill,
Komatsu was completely left in the dust.
It was then that a new chef awoke.
Aw man!
The friggin' Fest's started already!
The Legendary Chef
Tengu Branchi Appears!!
Okay, here goes!
Chef Komatsu is slow, slow, slow!
C'mon, let's pick up the pace!
Aw, man!
He is drowning, ain't he?
Hang in there, Komatsu.
Now, the chefs make a turn at Takoyaki Island!
And way out in front, it's...
the oil-stained Wabutora!
I am not stained with it.
And now coming up behind him is...
Setsuno!
Gourmet Human National Chef, Setsuno!
She's sprung into the lead!
And not far behind are Cooking King Zaus and Mach Cooking Ton!
Okay...
I'm gonna do this!
I'm gonna swim this thing on my own strength!
Woah, there.
And Setsuno has coolly made it ashore, not even short of breath,
in an incredible time of just 1 minute 30 seconds!
Munageh-san! Munageh-san!
Ah, yes, Tina-chin?
Having made it here first, Setsunon...
Er, uh, Setsuno-san is now choosing her ingredients.
Now...
I think this, and this, and that are good.
The next stage is biking.
Contestants that have finished their swim will be loading their chosen ingredients onto the delivery bicycles we have over there and transport them.
The second stage is the Konpeitou Ridge.
After that is a run.
Choosing the right ingredients is the key to this battle.
But if you take a heaping helping of time choosing, it will make the race that much harder.
Okay, Zaus, Wabutora, and Ton are now arriving.
The race is getting more and more intense!
And the arena is heating-up from medium to well done!
Munageh-san, we have a situation!
What?!
Mister Hanage...
The problem-child that would always get in the high ranks but only appeared on one Fest...
B-But...
He's a genius chef that won the championship in that single appearance with a decisive lead...
If the delinquent of the Bishokuya is Zebra,
then the representative of delinquency among chefs is undoubtedly that man.
What's that?!
Look over there!
Somebody's standing up there!
You're kidding, right?!
Everybody, take a look at the roof of Hotel Cooking!
The chefs that appeared so far at the Fest were not all of the members!
Over there is the last one.
A living legend.
This Fest is about to get rough.
Hailing from the bizarre land overflowing with ayakashi, Bewitching Food World,
Chef of Bizarre Cooking Tengu Castle,
and ranked 3rd in the Chef Ranking,
Tengu Branchi
now takes center stage!
Bizarre Cooking Tengu Branchi

It's Branchi!
Branchi showed up!
Is it really him?!
He's a real tengu! Scary!
But man, I'm depressed.
I set it up that I'd sleep here and everything.
I guess I drank too much Kappa Fin Sake yesterday.
Well, whatever. I just gonna pull ahead of ev'rybody startin' now.
He's Branchi, eh?
It's my first time ever seeing him.
Hey, check it out.
I'll bet that guy's really hurting for money.
He hasn't even got shoes on.
Quite a keen observation, Zonge-sama!
It's pretty standard for tengu to be barefoot except for those geta clogs, ya know.
What a delicious development!
The tension in this arena is boiling so hot you could boil an egg in an instant!
Super Boil!
Shut yer faces! I'll beat the shit outta you, ya bastards!
Man, what a voice...
Wh-What the?!
You've got some guts, don'cha?!
Yeah, you! Ya tengu bastard!
Ze-Zebra?!
Yer Heavenly King Zebra?!
So yer Zebra?
Yer just the guy old man Daruma said ya were.
The Bishokuya that wouldn't form a combo even if it killed 'im.
What're you tryin' ta say? I'm gonna have to decline the offer, moron.
I've already got a guy called Komatsu lined up as a candidate, and he'd mop the floor with you.
Huh? Komatsu?
Whozzat?
Somebody higher'n me?
Wait, he's not a candidate for being your combo partner, Zebra.
Komatsu's my combo partner!
He doesn't suit you.
What?!
Hey, hey!
Zebra!
I can't just let that one go.
Hey, c'mon, quit it with this stuff!
Who asked you?!
Pipe down!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Man, these guys are such a pain 'n the ass.
Come now, you two.
Shut up, you guys!
Stop ignoring me!
Cut tha crap already, dammit.
If ya screw with me I'll beat the shit outta you, chumps.
Wha was that?!
Is that Komatsu guy in the Fest?
Yeah, he is.
Oh, sounds interestin'.
The combo partner of Heavenly King Toriko...
Maybe I'll go beat that guy and leave 'im in tha dust.
You don't have a chance, Branchi.
Wha was that?
There ain't nobody that's a match fer me.
Don't underestimate Komatsu.
Oh, you guys've mastered Food Honor, eh?
All righty.
I'll go take a look at that Komatsu guy you guys're talkin' about.
It's at the eleventh-hour,
but Tengu Branchi has now entered the fray!
Go, Branchi!
This's just gotten a whole lot more interesting!
That bastard's gotten totally cocky.
But he instantly caught onto the fact that we'd mastered Food Honor.
Yes. He's strong.
He was bursting with powerful electromagnetic waves.
You don't see someone with a life force like that too often.
Bewitching Food World? Tha's in Gourmet World, ain't it?
His power's gotta be the real deal then.
No way I'd lose to him in a fight, though.
Well, this time, we're not the ones up against him.
Komatsu is.
Chef Komatsu has finally, at long last, managed to emerge from the sea!
Hang in there!
Matsu! Hurry!
What is that?!
Branchi has arrived!
He finished his swim in the blink of an eye!
H-Huh?
Um...
M-M-Might you happen to be...
B-Branchi-san?
You're Branchi-san, aren't you?!
Huh? Who're you?
Ah, nice to meet you.
Um, I'm Komatsu.
Huh? What'd ya just say?
Um, my name is, er... Komatsu.
Komatsu?
Komatsu?!
You're Komatsu?
Ah yes.
What?! You're friggin' Komatsu? Fer real?!
I thought ya'd be some dirty bastard, but yer just a damn kid!
And wait a sec, yer friggin' dead last, ain'cha?!
Are you really in a combo with Toriko?! Eh?
Ah, that's right. At the moment.
You liar! If yer makin' funna me, I'm seriously gonna deck you, dammit.
There's no way in hell yer higher than me! No way I would believe that!
Me? Ranked higher than you, Branchi-san?
Of course not. That's just silly.
Hell yeah you're not.
Yes.
Eh? What the hell's with you?!
Yer not even gonna argue it?!
Um, Branchi-san...
The thing is... if you don't mind...
could I maybe have an autograph? Just five?
Why?! Why the hell would I sign anything fer you?
And what the hell ya mean just five? That's a friggin' lot!
Uh, is it?
You moron.
After the Four Heavenly Kings were toutin' yer praises like that,
I was really lookin' forward. But you ain't even gonna be a challenge.
I'm goin'.
Ah, um...
Ah, Matsu!
Don't let him make fun of you!
Komatsu-kun, you don't really need his autograph, do you?
Dang. All that's left're these cruddy ingredients, eh?
Even the ingredients're depressed.
Th-That's not true!
There's the Ramen Spider that makes strands of ramen come from your mouth.
The Chestnut Mandarins that have a slight chestnut flavor.
There's Capsicum Pork that has a spiciness that'll make your eyes pop and melts together with rich meat.
It's true that there aren't any high-class ingredients left,
but these are all wonderful ingredients you can make some delicious dishes with.
I wish I could take all of them!
Wha? The ingredients suddenly started sparkin'.
Oh? You wanna go, too?
Oh, I see, you, too?
But you're all so heavy, I can't take you all.
You, too?
This brat can hear the ingredients' voices!
Aw, they're happy!
These ingredients that the other guys didn't pick got depressed,
but now they're gettin' real happy and excited!
Komatsu.
So this's Komatsu, eh?
Interestin'.
It's such a pity.
There are still so many left, I don't wanna leave them behind.
Sure is. A damn shame.
Then let's just bring 'em and cook 'em all.
Every last one.
B-Branchi-san!
Okay!
An, astoundingly, Chef Branchi and Chef Komatsu are intending to use all of the remaining ingredients!
All right, all right!
If tha ingredients say they wanna go, we just go ahead 'n bring em all!
Thank you so much, Branchi-san!
'Kay, let's go!
We're gonna pull ahead of the whole rest 'a the pack, Komatsu!
All right, Branchi-san!
