Someone once said...
that there are watermelons which produce a gorgeous and sweet soda water from their centers,
Soda Watermelons.
That there are raw oysters that have dried persimmons growing in them with a high sugar content and a deep, rich flavor,
Raw-Dried Persimmoysters.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking yet-unknown tastes.
For the sake of Terry, who has refused to eat anything,
Seeking the BB Corn, an ingredient of the Gourmet World,
Toriko and Terry headed to Wu Jungle.
Around that time, Komatsu and Tina followed after Toriko in order to capture the Wulstar Sauce Fruit.
A Zombie Wood blocked Toriko and Terry's way.
Battling fiercely against a menacing power, and showing a portion of her talent for battle,
Terry was victorious.
For Terry's Sake!
Burst in the Intense Heat, BB Corn!
Just how many hundreds of meters tall is this tree?
And there are all these branches that can easily support my body weight.
With these, you could erect a giant building on top of this forest and it'd be stable.
But when I think that it's not a building, but a giant ingredient up there,
I get really excited and can't stop drooling!
Oh, Terry! Is that the top?!
I'll be right there!
Bingo, Terry!
We found the BB Corn!
Awesome. I've never seen such huge and amazing corn before.
Now then, I think I'll bring a few back to Tomu as souvenirs.
It's incredibly thick and flexible.
And the corn is packed really tightly inside.
What the? It won't budge!
It feels like I'm trying to lift up the entire forest!
These are connected to all the plants in Wu Jungle.
Does the BB Corn grow by absorbing all the nutrients in the forest?
Okay, in that case...
What?! All right then...
The fibers are tangled in such a complex way that it makes it ridiculously strong.
It's like a GT Robo's arm.
Huh? What's up, Terry?!
WH-WHAT THE HELL'S THAT?!
It really looks like there's a building standing up here!
The location of the head chef that has traveled to the danger zone, Wu Jungle, in search of an ingredient for the Gourmet Summit,
is still unknown.
Komatsu-kun...
Okay, it's our turn.
We've waited all this time, so we would like quite a bit in return.
Say, are you listening to us?
Ah, excuse the suddenness, but according to information we have just received,
an item on the menu to be served at the summit dinner party
is planned to be the Mermaituna's Bubbly Tuna.
Excuse me, Coco-san?
The rare Mermaituna, huh?
If the chef doesn't return before its best-if-eaten-by date,
they'll need a replacement Mermaituna, won't they?
Yeah. That could be a job to do for the IGO.
Coco-san, predict for us where we'll be able to capture a Mermaituna...
My fortune telling is over for today.
What should we do?
Try going inside?
Hey, this forest is seriously dangerous.
However, uh, I have had quite a grand adventure in it, though.
Even though all he did was run around all over the place...
Huh? Did you say something?
No, nothing.
What?
Look!
That's Mentaikomugi, isn't it?
( Mentaikomugi is a pun on "mentaiko", which is marinated roe of pollock, and "komugi" which means wheat. )
Mentaiko flavored wheat?
Yeah.
I thought we might find something like this,
so I brought some Parmezansho Fruit with me.
If I crush this fruit and the Mentaikomugi together...
I might be able to make an interesting spice!
What a nice stimulating smell...
I think I'll have a taste.
Yum!
Spicy~!
Zonge-sama!
H-Hey! I'm gahha kill ou!
S-Sorry!
I guess it's a failure...
Hot!
My mouth is burning hot!
It looks even bigger up close.
It's the size of at least a twenty story building, ain't it?
Also, they say that the number of corn fibers at the top is the same as the number of kernels inside.
Just how many kernels are in this thing?
Ready, Terry?
Okay, let's go!
The husk is pretty thick and tough, too!
Terry, slice it off from the inside!
All right, one more!
Man, look at all those fibers!
I can smell the sweet and fragrant smell of corn coming from it.
Okay, let's dig our way in, Terry!
There it is! The BB Corn!
Awesome, check out the size!
Okay...
N-No dice, it won't move.
Now that I think about it, I'm not gonna be able to even scratch the kernels with Fork and Knife.
What? Don't get upset, Terry.
It'll be fine. This is the chance you gave us, after all.
I'll definitely get the BB Corn out of here.
I'll just send a shockwave through the other side and pop the kernels out.
To the BB Corn and all of the life in this forest, I give thanks...
Itadakimasu!
All right, we did it, Terry!
We got the BB Corn!
But man, this BB Corn is really something.
There are even more kernels backed further inside.
There really are as many kernels as there are fibers.
What's wrong, Terry?
You wanna make those into popcorn and eat them already?
Gotcha.
But in order to pop BB Corn of that size, we're gonna need to supply quite a bit of heat.
Which means we don't have many choices as to where we do it.
The Wul Volcano, just southwest of the jungle, is closest.
Let's head right over!
Okay!
Th-This is...
Strange, huh, Terry?
The forest extends this far?
The trees are growing!
Does the scope of the forest spread at an incredibly fast speed?!
Aw, man.
Now I don't know how to get back.
Hey, Terry!
You know where we are?
Oh yeah, that marking you did!
I knew I could count on you Terry, you did it!
Nice peeing!
Really nice peeing!
Wh-What is this?
The forest's plants are...
A petal!
What?!
A Capture Level 5 beast is coming.
Hey, do something!
You're a Bishokuya, right, Tonbi?!
( "Tonbi" means a the bird of prey a black kite, or a construction worker. )
No, I'm Zombie!
Er, no, I mean Zonge!
I already went all out beating up the things in this forest today!
If I do any more I'll just feel bad for them!
Is this really the time to be blowing your own horn?!
Huh?
Afraid of me, huh?
Aloe Frill-neck Lizard (Aloerimakitokage) (Plant Beast) Capture Level - 10
Komatsu-kun!
I'm sure that around here...
This is...
The Wulstar Sauce Tree!
The fruits are still small, though.
Komatsu-kun!
What are you doing...
At a time like this?!
We have to hurry up and get out of here!
I can't yet.
The fruits aren't ripe yet.
The Wulstar Sauce Fruits?
But this isn't the time to be saying things like...
I can't just leave here empty handed.
Komatsu-kun!
I have resolve as a chef, too!
Okay!
Run!
Komatsu-kun!
Wait, that reminds me...
Something you failed at will save you.
I'm sure it will be a help to you.
Something I failed at...
Okay!
Special Tasty Hot Spice!
Komatsu-kun!
Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone.
It looks like you've had a pretty rough time,
but fear not, for I am here.
Are you okay, Komatsu-kun?
Ah, yes.
That spice from before really helped me.
Nice idea! That was amazing!
Well, it's thanks to Coco-san, too.
So, did my beaut'ful appearance not mean anything?!
Huh? Sani-san?
What're you doing here?
Ah, uh, that. I came to get that.
Isn't that that lizard's aloe?
This aloe's got quite a moisturizin' effect.
It'll be great for my beaut'ful skin and cuticles.
Komatsu.
Toriko-san!
You guys came, too?
Yes!
What's with the big difference compared to when I showed up?
I came to get the Wulstar Sauce Fruit.
Is that the BB Corn Tomu-san was talking about?
Yeah. Now I'm going to turn this stuff into popcorn.
Oh. The popcorn said to be a snack for Gourmet Nobles.
You wanna come, too?
That's okay.
Eh?! Why?!
I'd like to see the popcorn, but I have something I have to do.
Gotcha.
Getting to see BB Corn popcorn, that was a really rare opportunity.
But I have to get back to the IGO and use this fruit to make a sauce that goes well with the Bubbly Tuna.
It's my job.
Something you have to do, huh?
Okay, I'd really like to eat Bubbly Tuna with that beaut'ful fruit's sauce.
In a magnificent flight, let's head back at top-speed!
Um, Sani-san, you can't eat any!
It's okay, isn't it? Or is that summit a higher priority than me?
Please give me a break!
Okay, we made it to our cooking site!
H-H-Hot!
That was close, we almost got cooked ourselves.
This Wul Volcano is called a magma hotspot.
The magma below the ground is no less than 1,400 degrees.
And the higher you go, the lower the temperature of the rocks is.
But with all this heat, we might be able to make some incredibly delicious popcorn!
Okay, let's cook the BB Corn!
If we roast it on a high-temperature rock too suddenly, it'll burn.
We'll start by slowly warming it on a low-temperature rock.
Okay, that should be about good.
It burned!
I guess I was a little too late.
Don't take your eyes off these things for a second, Terry.
Here. You've gotta keep up your hydration, too.
We'll be here a while.
But we can't get to any rock hotter than this.
Is that a Magma Rat skin?
This skin can endure even intense heat.
Let me use this for a little bit.
Persevere, Terry.
Give it everything you've got.
Getting delicious things isn't that simple.
BB Corn.. If it's used to make popcorn, the Capture Level may be over 30, but...
it takes a whole lot of work.
We finally made it here, huh?
The lowest and hottest rock at a temperature of 1,200 degrees.
Okay, now pop, BB corn!
Is it happening?!
Come on!
Here it is!
We did it! It's a rain of popcorn!
We did it, Terry!
Good job enduring all that without making a single displeased face!
A meal after a hard day's work is always incredible!
All right, let's dig in!
And man, these are huge!
They look more like cotton candy than popcorn.
And look at all of this, there's enough for a hundred people!
Fragrant... It's like a fried croquette.
I give thanks to all of the ingredients in this world...
Itadakimasu!
Terry, what do you think?
Is it good? Really...?
I'm so glad to hear it, Terry!
Okay, I'll have some, too!
D-Delicious!
Beyond delicious, my hands won't stop!
It feels like I could keep eating it forever!
Chew, taste it!
Y-Yum!
When I bite it, the flavor grows into an even deeper flavor!
And with that fluffy texture, the feeling of it going down my throat is smooth!
But more than anything, once I've had some I can't stop eating it!
I'm actually getting hungrier!
It's making me want to eat other food, too!
This has got one incredible appetite stimulating effect!
This is... perfect, isn't it? For that item...
Oh, great timing.
The Wul Volcano's volcanic ash has a high salt content and it's edible.
Bring on the popcorn spice!
It looks like we've been given Wul Volcano's blessing, huh?
Terry, along with having found an ingredient that fits your palette,
I've decided on my hors d'oeuvre!
For Full Course Menu's hors d'oeuvre...
I've chosen the BB Corn!
BB Corn (Grain) Capture Level - 30
Hors D'oeuvre
This is utterly befitting of a starter.
It'll make the whole course seem more delicious!
Thank you, Terry. This is thanks to you.
Yum, BB Corn!
Can I suck up that dog, too?!
I'm your newscaster, Tina.
This is the BB Corn, said to be a snack for Gourmet Nobles.
BB Corn (Grain) Capture Level - 30
Its official name is Blue Blood Corn.
It has an appetite stimulating effect, so be careful not to thoughtlessly eat too much.
Delicious! Seconds, please!
It's rare and difficult to obtain corn, so corme again later.
On to the next item of news.
A new powerful foe has appeared before Toriko!
Say, he kind of seems like a real weirdo!
The Bishokukai's Capabilities!
Toriko's Techniques, the Moment of Evolution!
Next week will be a bowl stacked high with fun, too!
