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.
Branchi, ranked in 3rd place in the World Chef Ranking, has entered the Fest late.
Oh, sounds interestin'.
The combo partner of Heavenly King Toriko...
Maybe I'll go beat that guy and leave 'im in tha dust.
And Branchi got a glimpse of Komatsu's cooking talent.
So this's Komatsu, eh?
Interestin'.
And, 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!
Wha-, Matsu!
What're ya doin', makin' friends with that guy!
Well, it makes sense.
What?
Take a look at the table.
Something about the plates and stuff?
Even with that big rough entrance,
the only things he knocked over were empty plates and cups.
The ones with food and drinks in them didn't move an inch.
You have a point.
Despite how wild he looks, Branchi's still a chef.
What's your basis for any of that?
Komatsu and Branchi are both chefs that love ingredients.
I'm saying this as his combo partner.
That's plenty enough a basis, don'cha think?
He and the ingredients look at each other with sincerity.
So it's only natural for another chef to empathize...
...with somebody as liked by ingredients as Komatsu.
'Kay, let's go!
We're gonna pull ahead of the rest 'a the pack, Komatsu!
All right, Branchi-san!
A Wild Ride of Super Foul Play!
Branchi, Pulling Ahead!!
To Cooking Island
there is congestion for 120 Km
20 hours
A-A hundred twenty kilometers?
Hey, when're we gonna get there?
I dunno. The traffic isn't moving.
Hey, when?
What?
Giraffe Bird (Mammal Beast) Capture Level 90
The Giraffe Bird.
The hybrid beast which is made up of several species of herbivores with strong sense of wariness and smell
as well as several carnivore species which boast powerful fighting abilities.
If anyone suspicious comes anywhere close, these guys will be the first to sense it.
When the Giraffe Bird howls, that marks the beginning of a fight.
It's the starting signal of a battle.
Aw. The Fest looks like it's really heating up.
I wanted to watch how Komatsu does in the booth with Toriko.
Now, the Cooking Triathlon is getting very, very, tense!
This arena truly has the fervor of a mighty flame!
Fire!
Now let's take another look at the rules.
The first stage is a swim.
Then once the chefs have gotten their ingredients,
they enter the second stage, biking, to transport their ingredients.
After that is the third and final stage, running,
where they will run a marathon to the goal back at this stadium.
GOAL
But! The competition doesn't end there.
They must cook the ingredients they have returned with, here at this cooking station at the goal.
What they prepare will then be judged by our seven tasting masters, G7.
Only half the chefs will remain after this contest. In other words, 50!
Okay, at the moment, leading the pack, are Setsuno, Zaus, and Yuda.
They are pedaling with all their might over the Tofu Wasteland, an area like freeze-dried tofu,
and now they're lined up like dumplings on a skewer!
And not far behind them are former underground chef Livebearer
and Delicate Cooking Chiru.
And a few more chefs are behind them.

And there's a brilliant move from Strange Cooking Kopuriko!
Despite her looks, her attacks really pack a punch!
It's okay if I use this as a cooking ingredient, too, right?
A Pepper Crocodile as an ingredient?
Just how much of a fan of strange things is in this woman?!
Uh, by the way, her Full Course starts with Deep Fried Devil Gecko,
then Squirming Mega Maggot, Sea Piranha, Long-Armed Goblin,
Kopuriko's Full Course

Grotesquely-delicious! Every last one!
It's making me groggy!
Oh, it seems the oden shop owner Gen-chan is being approached by the Capture Level 20 Spareripig!
That's an addendum soup from my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's era.
This pig oughtta make some good oden.
Gen-chan knocks it out with addendum soup!
Gen-chan's Full Course starts with Don Clam Grandpa Stew,
then Hodgepodges Soup, No-Sleep Octopus, Autumn Colors Cattle,
Gen-chan's Full Course.

Exciting!

That's Poison Cooking Tairan for you,
such excellent skill!
His lifetime Full Course is...
Puffer Whale, Poisonous Plant, Poison Turtle, Death Cattle,
Poison King, Tetra Cheese, Poison Apple, and Poison Lemonade.
Tairan's Full Course

Dessert Poison Apple Ice III Capture Level 19
Drink Poison Lemonade Capture Level 22
All sorts of poison!
Among them, the main dish Poison King is super-deadly-poisonous,
but Tairan can kill it in an instant.
By taking it down fast, it quickly turns into a delicious food!
You'll wake up soon.
In fact, with all the poisons gone from your body, you'll be livelier than ever.
My goodness, this blood-gushing, meat-throbbing race is continuing!
Hey, where's Matsu?
He may be struggling a bit.
It doesn't matter how many ingredients he took from the beach.
It's not restricted, but with that amount of ingredients, Branchi may be all right, but Komatsu-kun...
Komatsu'll be okay.
Seriously, I don't know where you're getting this confidence from.
I told you, this is coming from his combo partner, so you know it's right.
And so, in the face of ferocious beasts, the chefs press onward.
The front-runners have strength that would put some Bishokuya to shame!
A lot of chefs are former Bishokuya.
Well, wild beasts of this level aren't much to...
Wh-What?!
Outta my way, bastards!
And here comes Branchi!
Branchi?!
Branchi has overtaken a huge group in one burst!
Outta my way, bastards!
Man he's fast!
Branchi with Chef Komatsu overtake the pack in one burst!
Looks like Komatsu-kun is all right, just like Toriko said.
Ah, well,
I didn't think he's that sort of "all right", to be honest.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

By adding oil to them, my wheels will move more smoothly!
Tricky bastards!
Branchi is traveling at a very high speed!
Stop!
We stopped...
Woops. My foot slipped.
Hey, what're you doing?!
My word! That man has no oil, blood, or even tears!
Astounding! Branchi has cut off the rest of the pack!
Is there nothing he won't do to win?!
That's how the world of competition is.
Hey, Branchi-san! You can't do things like that!
You've gotta play fair and square!
Well, you got a point.
I guess I did kinda pretend my foot slipped.
Next time I push them off fair and square!
That's not what I meant!
Let's go, Komatsu!
That Branchi is truly a heel!
And while all this is going on, Setsuno, Zaus and Yuda
have passed the third area, the ridge hill of konpeitou, Konpeitou Ridge.
Now all that's left is the marathon run!
And it's an utter dead-heat!
Munageh-san, Munageh-san!
Oh that's the voice of our relay reporter, Tina-pyon.
Thanks. I, Tina, am not at the water station, but the utensil station.
Here, the chefs will get their cooking tools, which they take great pride in, that we have arranged here and head towards the goal.
By the way, the utensil station will only be open for one hour.
Unless they hurry, they won't be able to get their hands on their favorite tools!
There are two keys to victory in this triathlon.
The first is to get better ingredients,
and the second is to obtain their own cooking utensils within the time limit.
So if they do that, they'll be able to cook something that can live up to the judge's standards, huh?
Matsu's sure to have his Melk Kitchen Knife there.
If he can just get his hands on that...
The kid'll probably make it to the next round.
Hey! I've got nothin' ta drink, dammit!
Yes, I'll be right there!
The leading pack, Setsuno, Zaus, and Yuda have made it here!
Oh my, they suddenly disappeared!
N-No! They've passed through the utensil station!
They took their favorite tools in a lightening-speed act that our eyes couldn't catch one gram of!
Granny Setsu, Zaus, and Yuda.
They're a leg up on all the other chefs in terms of power.
Oh, those three have already nearly made it to the stadium!
Wha?! Already?!
Is it iron-clad that they will be the top three finishers?
Who will be the first one to reach the goal?!
Tray King Yuda?!
Cooking King Zaus?!
Or will it be National Treasure Setsuno?!
Who? Who?
Who will it be?!
Who cut the goal tape?
Who was it that got there first in the end?
It's Branchi and Chef Komatsu!
I-Incredible!
Tengu Branchi together with Chef Komatsu made it first to the goal!
What an utterly delicious, dramatic comeback!
Komatsu-kun came in first place!
I never thought he'd do this good.
Hey, did that guy like, age a whole lot?
Well, if it isn't a rare appearance by the problem child?
What brought this on?
Nothin' happened.
I just thought I'd perform the last rites for a couple 'a elderly problems.
Who are you calling an elderly problem, greenhorn?!
Hell yeah you're elderly problems! How the hell long are you plannin' on dominating the industry? Fer real!
You guys're in our ways!
H-Hang on a minute, Branchi-san!
Don't get cheeky, youngster.
Shut up, beard face!
Beard face?
Wha's with that beard? It's so lame!
Don't get cocky, you shitty tengu brat!
Now, now, let's all calm down.
Both you and Branchi have gone a bit too far.
Shut up, beard face number two!
Beard face number two?
Yeah, stick it to 'em!
Go get 'em Branchi!
Hey, hey, he's even picking a fight with Granny Setsu.
No matter how you did it, you managed to get first place, Komacchan!
85 competitors made it through the race.
We managed to survive it, somehow.
Yes.
But!
It would not be going too far to say that the real Cooking Triathlon has yet to come!
Everyone will take the ingredients they took with them
and cook them up there on the competition stage
so they can be judged by G7.
And we will be shrinking the 85 remaining competitors down to 50.
Our top batter is...
The one who took first place along with Tengu Branchi, Chef Komatsu!
Y-Yes!
Huh? His pulse is fast.
Sounds like he's pretty damn nervous.
What? Komatsu's yet to show his true ability.
You have a point.
Physically, in other words, in the actual triathlon he was at a complete disadvantage.
But in terms of his cooking skill, he should give the top rankers a run for their money.
He'll be all right.
He got the Melk Kitchen knife he's used to, after all.
Guess so.
Like how an oni's got his iron club, and Komatsu's got his Melk Kitchen Knife.
Chef Komatsu will now begin to cook.
According to the records I have, the tool that was left for him at the utensil station was...
Incredible! A Melk Kitchen Knife!
And what's more,
it's a sharp one that's said to be the first made by Melk the Second!
Will Cooking Stadium now get to feast their eyes on that knife?!
Komatsu, keep a level head.
What?! That's not the Melk Kitchen Knife!
Huh? That's just an ordinary kitchen knife.
What?! That dang moron!
Matsu?
Komatsu-kun?
Kid...
Hey, hey, what's going on?
Ey, Komatsu! The hell're ya doin'?!
