Someone once said...
That in a paradise in the deep sea,
there is a Gourmet Jellyfish possessing miraculous abilities.
A Gourmet Jellyfish that changes shape little by little, constantly evolving, as it regenerates again and again.
Among the creatures that eat this jellyfish,
there are those for whom, the more delicacies they eat,
the more the level of their cells' regenerative functions and life activity increases.
The possessors of Gourmet Cells.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking yet-unknown tastes.
In order to obtain the Jewel Meat,
Toriko and the others headed into the body of the Regal Mammoth.
At the end of Coco and Sani's life-or-death battles,
the GT Robos controlled by Gido and Sedoru were stopped.
And the task of capturing the Jewel Meat was left to Toriko and the rest of his group.
But they were unfortunate enough to encounter the GT Robo controlled by Staajyun.
Rin, a Final Wish!
Awaken, Super Toriko!
Toriko-san!
Rin-san!
Wh-What's going on? Who is this guy?
Is that me?
It's eating me?
The time limit is 5 minutes.
Hurry up and get something in your mouth.
Yeah...
The most delicious thing you can get your hands on would be best.
The cells are evolving.
What?
Toriko-san! Toriko-san!
Th-This is...
Endorphin Smoke?
To-Toriko...
At the very least... I can alleviate the pain for you.
Rin...
Rin-san!
Here... The smoke is becoming a smokescreen.
You guys have to run away while you have the chance.
You're... more worried about me than yourself?
Hurry... Run...
Hold on, Rin.
Kruppoh!
She ran? A wise choice.
Tina-san...
Tina-san didn't run away!
We've got to go get Coco and Sani!
A Carrier Balloon Pigeon's homing instinct allows it to find its way home from any location!
With that enormous portion of amazing ability,
lead us to the exit!
By now, those two are sure to have beaten the GT Robos.
And Sani will definitely have gone back outside.
If I can get out, I'm sure I'll be able to reach them!
Unless I do something, all the effort and emotion everyone's put in so far will be for nothing!
I can't let that happen! No matter what!
Rin-san!
It's useless.
She'll be dead soon.
Both her and Toriko.
If you had only not interfered, as you hadn't back then,
I would have let you leave alive.
Hey. Who'd you say is dying?
Toriko-san.
Rin...
To-Toriko...
Don't speak, Rin.
Th-This...
This scar under my eye...
Geez, you've gotta be kidding me!
There's a pack of freaking Hyena Gangs here?!
Rin!
You're a life-saver, Rin!
This Silk Bird egg is as easy to break as a soap bubble.
Say, you...
You got wounded over there.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine!
Say, this scar is in the same place as Toriko's, I'm so happy!
Back then, I thought I was the same as you, but...
because I was looking at it in a mirror, it was actually on the wrong side.
But I was still happy.
That someone like me was able to help out you, Toriko.
Rin, don't talk anymore.
Please...
Toriko, I have one last favor to ask...
Madness.
Toriko, I was sure I broke his neck completely.
Please, Toriko.
Yeah.
Thank you...
Tori...ko...
What is going on here?
Could it be...
this attack power is...
GT Robo...
GT Robo!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...
( Roku Ren Kugi Punch = 6-Hit Nail Punch )
Rin was prepared to die from the beginning.
Death is something always lurking nearby every living creature.
Someone like you, without the resolve to risk his life, isn't qualified to live in this world.
I'll send it to you, no matter how far off you may be.
The fear of death!
Is this... a coincidence?
Or did you choose this by design, Toriko?
Either way,
it has activated. The autophagy.
Autophagy?
Organisms that have fallen into a state of severe hunger
will start to break down their own cells as a means of temporarily obtaining energy.
This is called autophagy.
You bastard, have you been fasting?
In order to maintain a body like yours, possessing Gourmet Cells,
you probably need an intake of some hundreds of thousands to millions of kilocalories of energy daily.
Therefore, for you, to fast only for a little while
would cause life-threatening damage.
Now that I think about it, Toriko-san never ate anything this whole time!
They say that when one has Gourmet Cells, the more delicious the things they eat are, the more their power increases.
But when they eat themselves,
in other words, when your Gourmet Cells start to eat your own body,
your body is given an extraordinary power.
That is the foreboding omen that the Gourmet Cells are going to evolve.
Shut that thing!
A-Amazing!
Now this is troubling.
There is a one-thousandth of a second lag in the response time.
Fighting as a GT Robo I can't bring out my full power.
Bishokuya Toriko.
Just as I would expect, your power is impressive.
However, you cannot maintain that power for long.
Autophagy is nothing more than the body's temporary avoidance of nutrient starvation.
Your power increases, but if you stay in that state for a prolonged period,
you will consume all of you own cells which will result in death.
Autophagy is a double-edged sword.
Either the Gourmet Cells rapidly evolve, or you die.
Can you defeat me before the time limit expires?
The time limit is 5 minutes.
You know it's impossible.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7...
M-My power is...
Well, it looks like this is the end of the line.
There will be no evolution.
Farewell, Bishokuya Toriko!
Toriko-san!
That's... can it be...?!
Toriko!
Th-This is...
Coco, what's wrong?
Some huge electromagnetic waves have gone into a violent disarray.
Does that mean someone's in danger?
Inside the Regal Mammoth's giant body, with its bulky flesh walls in the way,
I can't tell whose electromagnetic waves they are.
But I can be sure that Toriko and the others are having some sort of crisis.
Geez, don't be reckless.
If you went now, you'd only be a hindrance for them.
I know how frustrating it is.
What on earth is happening in there?
What is this place?
To-Toriko!
Toriko!
H-Hey! This is no time to be taking a nap!
Wake up!
Hey, Toriko! Toriko!
No way, it can't be...
It's not true, right?!
Toriko!
No!
In times like these, I have to calm down and think clearly.
That's the cardinal rule of the Gourmet Caster.
No matter what's happening, I have to keep calm.
Think, think!
Th-This is...
Please, Toriko. Open your eyes.
This heavy flavor, this savory smell...
Toriko!
Bouillon?
It's so bright... This radiance, could it be...?
The Jewel Meat.
Th-That's the Jewel Meat?
Toriko!
What's going on...?
In that fight I just had, I exhausted all my sweat, blood, everything.
But with this body of mine that should all dried up,
I can't stop drooling.
I-Incredible.
What beautiful meat.
The pattern of this marbling makes it looks like a work of art that was touched up again and again by many different artisans.
The drips of bouillon look just like gold dust.
And more than anything else, this smell...
The overflowing mellowness of the aroma would put any high-class perfume to shame.
The rich, primitive meat smell shoots through my instincts.
Oh, thank you ancient Treasure Food, Regal Mammoth!
And I give thanks to all the ingredients in this world...
Itadakimasu!
It's soft...
Like it's gently sticking onto my skin.
Awesome! The scattering drops of bouillon look just like fireworks!
Yuuum...
So good...
YUUUM!
That piece before was tender and soft,
but this piece actually has a wild texture to it!
And it makes a gorgeous clear sound like biting into a bird's gizzard!
Plus at the same time, the taste and feel of the bouillon is melting throughout my mouth!
It's irresistible!
Irresistible!
So in the end, it looks like you were the most intelligent one, youngster.
Even if they're always careful, all humans eventually die.
So there's no need to rush to one's death.
Are you a chef?
This is a nice kitchen knife.
I can more or less tell a chef's skill by looking at his knife.
I see, so you're a first-class chef.
It would be a good idea to polish your skills even more.
I pray that someday you would have enough value to be useful to us, the Bishokukai.
I'll be taking this knife.
I think I'll be able to make good use of it.
That is...
That is one thing I can't let you have.
That knife is equivalent to my life!
G-Give it back to me!
If you interfere, you'll die.
I'm not afraid of dying!
Even I came here with that resolve!
Give it back!
Oh, it looks like your resolve is the real deal.
Yes. And yours is not.
As I thought, the only one here without resolve is you.
GT Robo!
Toriko?
Toriko-san!
Good morning. This is your newscaster, Tina.
Living in a paradise in the deep sea, down on the ocean floor, is the Bottom Octopus.
Bottom Octopus (Soko no Tako)
Once captured by the legendary Bishokuya Acacia,
the Bottom Octopus is said to have eaten the Gourmet Jellyfish
and the delicious components of it became better.
And as legend has it, Acacia made it into deluxe takoyaki
( Takoyaki is a kind of dumpling made with octopus. )
and soaked it in soup stock instead of sauce before eating it.
Not with ayakashi grilling, but with Acacia grilling!
( Ayakashiyaki, literally "grilled food in Akashi", is a dumpling made with octopus that is soaked in soup stock, or dashi. )
Just kidding!
Huh? Don't you get it?
Now then, on to the next item of news.
The battle to the death over the Jewel Meat finally comes to an end?!
The awakened Toriko's power is clearly overwhelming!
Super Toriko, the Fist of Anger!
This is the Ultimate Kugi Punch!
Next week will be a bowl stacked high with fun, too!
