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.

Cooking Fest had entered its 3rd round.
Partnered with Toriko, Komatsu brilliantly captured the Oeaster Island and made it through the Entire-Island Cooking challenge.
But in the deciding tournament that followed,
Komatsu was selected to be up against the 14-time champion, Cooking King Zaus.
Meanwhile, writhing suspicious shadows approached the stadium.
The Outbreak of War!
The Bishokukai's Violent All-Out Attack!!
Looks like something's coming.
Finally, huh?
Now, we give you the 16 very delicious chefs that have been chosen for the 50th Cooking Festival's championship tournament!
I won't let them interfere with the Fest.
That's Chef Komatsu.
Who would've guessed he'd make it to the championship tournament?
It really is a miracle.
Even though it always looked like I might have lost, I made it.
And in the next one... I've just got to give it everything I've got again.
It's been a while, Komacchan!
Ume-chan!
Ume-chan! Ume-chan! Ume-chan!
Why didn't you call and tell me you were gonna be here?!
I'm sorry, I never had time to.
But it sounds like you've really been busy, Komacchan!
Congratulations on appearing in the final tournament.
Thank you!
Appearing on a big stage like this really feels like a dream.
It was all skill!
And you've got plenty of achievements, too, Komacchan.
Go for the championship!
No way...
At some point, you became a chef that's beyond my reach.
I'm so proud of you!
Ume-chan...
Komacchan?
Ah, sorry.
Huh? What's going on...?
I've been desperately trying to get better at this...
Every day's been such a frenzy...
Seeing your face feels like such a relief.
Komacchan.
You really do need some extraordinary achievements in order to get into the ranking, don't you?
I can imagine how hard those days must have been.
Speaking of ranking...
Wasn't Take-chan ranked up until a little while ago?
I wonder what happened to him...
I was on a half-year long Gourmet Space Trip, so I'm not caught up with him.
Was he in one of those events?!
T-Take-chan, he...
Komatsu!
You did it, Komatsu!
Congratulations on progressing to the championship tournament.
Toriko-san! Guys!
Komacchan! You're really in a combo with the Toriko?
It wasn't your first time working with him in the third round?
Yup.
It's thanks to Toriko-san that I was able to make it this far.
That ain't so, Matsu!
Being teamed up with Toriko was probably around like 1% beneficial, don'cha think?
1% sounds like a bit too harsh, Sani.
It'd say it was around 20%.
What?! Just 20%?!
Ah, sorry.
Maybe around 22.2%?
That's practically the same thing!
Amazing. Three of the Four Heavenly Kings.
And who is this?
This is a comrade of mine from my training days, Ume-chan.
M-My name is Nakaume.
I-It's nice to meet you!
He's the heir to the Nakaume Cooking School.
Everything he cooks is incredibly delicious!
Well...
A chef, huh?
Back when we were making the Medicinal Cooking Mochi,
Chef Sumire gathered 10,000 chefs at the Nakaume Cooking School.
It's a really famous school!
The Chef Sumire?
Yes. I've been close to Granny Sumire ever since I was little.
So, where are you working now Ume-chan?
Well, right now...
This is where you were, Chef Nakaume?
President Moi is looking for you.
He needs you to prepare a meal as soon as possible.
E-Excuse me. I'll be right there.
Sorry Komacchan. I've gotta go.
Good luck in the tournament.
I'll be cheering for you.
Ume-chan?
I'm sorry.
Those are guys from Gourmet Tourist, aren't they?
Gourmet Tourist?
That's an international corporation, isn't it?
Now that I think about it, they've invested in the Nakaume Cooking school as well, haven't they?
Moi, that's the name of the company president, right?
They even have exclusive chefs working for them, huh?
Ume-chan...
This whole lineup is within our calculations.
Mahmai Moi - "Gourmet Tourist" President - Gourmet Billionaire
They're no match for us.
Darnil Kahn - Former King of the Jidar Kingdom
The Bishokukai will be attacking soon, I expect.
Colonel Mokkoi - President of "(Company) Gourdarake" - Gourmet Billionaire
We'd best start moving as well...
This feelin' in tha air... Somethin' big's gonna happen.
What's wrong, Komatsu? Don't tell me you're nervous?
No I'm not!
I'm trembling with excitement.
Really?
Uh, this is an announcement.
Would all chefs appearing in the championship tournament please come to the arena?
The first match, Chef Komatsu VS Chef Zaus will be commencing shortly.
Finally, eh, Matsu?!
We'll be cheering for you, Komatsu-kun.
Go give it your all!
Don't lose in the first match of the championship tournament.
At least don't lose till ya beat that Branchi moron.
Well, I'll be giving it all I have!
Please watch me, too, Toriko-san.
Looks like you're finally here.
Komatsu, this isn't a joke or anything like that.
I think you can honestly aim for the championship.
Your talent as a chef won't lose to Zaus.
Or even Branchi!
Toriko-san...
So go become the Supercook!
Okay!
And we'll be keeping a close watch to make sure you can safely compete in Cooking Fest.
I got word from Zebra.
They're here.
And now, we will finally start Cooking Fest's championship tournament!
The first match is Chef Komatsu VS Chef Zaus!
Give it all you've got, Chef Komatsu!
Keep it up all the way to the championship!
Zaus! Show him just how big a difference between the two of you there is!
14-time champion Zaus has a real challenge on his hands
with the newcomer that's had a great showing so far, Chef Komatsu!
I'm glad that you are my opponent.
I intend to fully enjoy this.
As long as time allows, that is.
For the last time, it seems I'll finally be able to be serious.
Last time?
Okay, okay, okay!
The first round of the tournament to decide the champion is...
a Dark Cooking Duel!
Darkness
Dark Cooking?
Inside here, you won't be able to see a thing.
And in that pitch-blackness, you'll be cooking relying only on your sense of smell, intuition, and your experience.
Inside that darkness are some dangerous ingredients as well as some special preparation ingredients,
so one mistake could be fatal.
Now, without further ado!
For the first match of the championship tournament, the Dark Cooking Duel...
Ready, go!
I really can't see anything!
I'm supposed to cook here?
I can't even tell where the cooking station is.
This is a Cooking Fest battle?
Chef Zaus. He's already cooking?
I've got to get going.
I'll have to judge what kind of ingredients are here by smell, sound, and touch.
What's this?
It's warm. It's like human skin.
Or no. Not so much warm as...
Hot?!
Go!
The Giraffebirds!
Our hybrid clone beasts equipped with extraordinary senses of smell and wariness...
They beat them before they even had time to roar!
Camouflage faculties?!
So damn many GT Robos...
They're coming by air and by sea!
Capture every last chef in the Fest.
Don't spare a single one.
And I don't mind
if you slaughter anyone that gets in your way.
The Giraffebirds have entered Carnivore Mode!
Geez.
They spoiled our opening sprint a bit, but...
Now the war begins!
STAR!

Someone once said...
Voice of Heaven, please lend us your aid once again!
Okay, okay. Here I go...
Someone once said...
That there is a mandarin orange that gets sweeter and more fully ripe the better the sleep it gets at night,
a blank.
The time limit is 10 seconds.

That there is a mandarin orange that gets sweeter and more fully ripe the better the sleep it gets at night,
a Goodnightarin Orange.
I want to eat my fill and get a nice, restful sleep!
You've still got a lot of work to do today still, don't you?
Life is cruel.
Okay, let's pick ourselves up and head over to the next corner!
To save one chef, they risk their lives and fight.
These men finally have a showdown!
Protect Komatsu!
Toriko VS Starjun!!
Next time will be a heaping helping of fun, too!
