Someone once said...
that there is a dense and rich cheese...
with the faint sweetness of zucchini mixed into it.
Cheezucchini.
That there is a fruit with the deep sweetness of top-quality red bean jam...
mixed with the taste of cherries, creating an excellent azuki bean mochi.
( Azuki bean mochi or "botamochi" is a food made of red (azuki) beans and sweet rice formed into balls. )
Cherrean Mochi.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking yet-unknown tastes.
Seeking the Century Soup,
Toriko and his party progress through Ice Hell.
The harsh environment frequently blocked their path,
but they managed to successfully reach the ice mountain.
They were followed by the parasitic bug master, Tommyrod and his group.
Meanwhile Tina, Zonge and their group were chased by an Ice Jaguar,
but by a great stroke of luck, discovered a hidden cave.
Around the same time, a mysterious man in a mask also reached the ice mountain.
The Explosive Flame that Shakes the Ice Mountain!
The True Identity of the Masked Man!
It's nicknamed the Gourmet Food Curtain.
The aurora formed from the Century Soup wafting through the air.
First we've gotta find that.
Gourmet Food Curtain?
The aurora is like a guidepost.
It's like the curtain of a restaurant that's been closed for a hundred years has been opened.
And it is guiding us toward the soup, like a host showing customers in.
What a cute little fairy tale-like story.
It really is! And the ice is pretty, too.
If no wild beasts come out, this place will really start to be like a fairy...
Look! It's shining so brightly!
Silver Grizzly (Hakugin Grizzly) (Mammal Beast) Capture Level - 20
Ooh, I've never seen this wild beast before.
A Silver Grizzly. Looks delicious.
It'll be an incredible source of protein!
I give thanks to all the ingredients in this world...
Itadakimasu!
Gochisousama deshita.
I think now, I'll add this icicle scallion,
or Icicallion I found before.
Done!
Silver Grizzly kakuni!
( Kakuni is a food made of a braised meat cut into cubic pieces. )
It looks delicious.
That smells wonderful.
Itadakimasu!
Yum!
It has a simple taste like white fish,
whilst having a juicy consistency!
So this is Silver Grizzly meat?!
With the piping hot meat and the tingling spiciness of the Icicallion,
my body feels like it's melting right to the core!
This tastes pretty good.
It really warms you up.
Right?!
Yes!
Komatsu, seconds!
That was fast!
I need to boil some more meat or Toriko-san will eat it all.
Please don't be in such a hurry, Toriko-san.
Come on, Toriko-san!
Stop poking me!
Uh, that's not me.
What?!
It's a baby Wall Penguin.
Those are rare.
Wa-Wall Penguin?
It-It's so cute!
That thing's an endangered species.
It looks like it's lost, doesn't it?
Ow. Owowowow.
Owowowowowow.
This little guy!
What do you think you're doing?!
Baby Wall Penguins have no sense of wariness.
It can get attached to any animal.
But on the other hand, the parents are ferocious.
I'll bet that right now, they're rampaging all over the place looking for that little guy.
Seriously?!
They'll think you kidnapped him.
You can be 100% sure.
Now then, sorry, but I'll be taking a rest early.
We need to preserve our stamina for when we really need it.
A baby penguin that got separated from its parents, huh?
Make sure you watch after it.
Match-san?
Have a nice rest, Match.
Toriko. A time may soon come when you and I fight.
Even if I can't win...
I need to store up enough power so I can at least get a blow in.
Um, everyone...
Why did you come here to get the Century Soup?
Ah, sorry.
Have you heard of Nerg City?
The Gourmet Crime city not affiliated with the IGO, Nerg?
The lawless area that circulates ingredients which have been banned from trade?
We can't forget it. When we were kids,
we were blessed with food by Match-san.
If I were to try and describe the happiness I felt back then,
I wouldn't know how to describe it.
That happiness of knowing I'd have enough to eat for the first time.
I see. So you guys joined the Gourmet Mafia because of that debt you owe, huh?
No, that's not it.
We all deeply admire Match-san.
That man is special.
The reason Nerg is poor is because of a group who unfairly control all the ingredients.
That man couldn't just sit back and let things be.
Isn't that awesome?
He picked a fight with them all on his own.
And he shared the food he took.
The adults in that town would never do something like that.
It's natural to eat if you're hungry.
Eating comes first.
Being good or evil comes after that.
It's true that we're hated by society,
but that's really insane. Hogging food to the point that other people die...
Kids don't bear any sins, after all.
I think that's fantastic!
The feeling of wanting to let those children eat the soup...
We're just choosing to do this on our own.
But to venture out here into danger, where there are all these high Capture Level beasts and all...
What about you, Takimaru?
Do the other members of the Gourmet Knights know about this job you're doing?
It's the Century Soup.
For the Gourmet Knights that are encouraged to have a simple diet,
a high-class ingredient like that is pretty unorthodox, don't you think?
The other members do not know about this job.
I knew it.
There's no way a new entrant into the group would be entrusted to work like this in the first place.
Don't tell me you didn't even tell that Ai guy?
A-Aimaru-san... Our leader, was the one person I could never tell.
So why'd you take on a huge job like this alone?
I-I need money. A lot of it.
The country of healing, Life.
It's so I can buy a medicine they sell there.
It's a medicine said to be able to cure any disease.
So in other words, it's to help someone.
You're braving danger for other's sake just like us, huh?
But I'm sure the Gourmet Knights weren't allowed to take...
Yes.
We have a doctrine to entrust our lives wholly to nature.
Administering man-made medicine goes against that.
But... I'm sure that in the country of healing, Life,
there are many natural medicines and curing ingredients.
If I use that, it won't go against our doctrine.
I have to get my hands on one.
No matter the cost, I must!
Aimaru-san, please wait just a little longer for me.
I will get it...
Ta-Takimaru-san...
I haven't heard the details,
but it seems like those tears have a value that even outstrips the Century Soup, Takimaru.
Don't worry.
If you have reason enough to cry...
You guys, too.
When people act while thinking of others, it brings out the greatest amount of power.
I'm sure we'll all get our hands on it.
The Century Soup.
It'll be okay, we'll definitely find it.
Toriko-san.
Toriko-san...
By the way, what reason do you have for going after the soup, Toriko-san?
Isn't that obvious?
Because I want to eat it. That's all.
No, Toriko-san's serious about that.
Takimaru-san, it's nothing to laugh...
Oww...
Looks like he's totally attached to you now.
So take responsibility and look after him.
Wait, hold on...
What if the parents show up?!
Well, I guess they'll attack you then.
What the hell, "Because I want to eat it"?
It's for the sake of that chef, Komatsu, too.
Like hell I can sleep.
I give up. This place is like a friggin' ice maze.
The key to exploring this place is finding the aurora, Tommy-sama.
I guess so. What a pain.
How about we just destroy the mountain?
Hatch, Bomb Bugs!
Bomb Bug (Baku Chuu) (Insect Beast) Capture Level - 10
Please don't detonate them yet!
Be born, Detonation Bug!
Detonation Bug (Kibaku Chuu) (Insect Beast) Capture Level - 25
Switch...
on!
What is that?
What the?!
Everyone, get ready quickly. We're heading out.
An enemy. That's fair to assume.
Enemy?
They'll be struggling for the same ingredient as us.
And this right now is probably those guys' work.
So you've decided to show yourselves, Bishokukai?
Oh, you're early, Coco.
It's been quite a while, Chief Mansam.
Hey Rikky, nice to see you again.
So as I thought, I'm the only one who came?
Sani won't respond to calls...
and we can't get Zebra out of prison.
This is related to the capturing of the Century Soup, isn't it?
You guessed that using your fortune telling, didn't you?
We're sure that the Bishokukai will have sent some considerable fighting power this time.
Toriko will be in danger if on his own.
Coco, please go there to help capture the soup!
Let's hurry!
Right!
Um...
Ah... Toriko-san...
Um... What should I do with this penguin?
If he's gonna follow you, there's nothing you can do.
In exchange, make sure you look after it.
Okay, let's go!
O-Okay...
Hey, you. I'm asking nicely, so will you please calm down and come with me?
What was the explosion just now?!
It's obvious! We must have activated an event!
Just what I'd expect from Zonge-sama!
You have such pointed insight!
I get it. So you've gone to mountain locations in RPGs, too? Amazing.
I'd like to reset this adventure and do it over.
Look, that light!
No doubt, that's the exit!
The hidden cave leading to the Century Soup!
That explosion marked the fact that the event activated!
Yay! Hooray for Zonge-sama!
Are we really gonna discover the Century Soup?
This is a mountain-sized portion of a scoop!
We're here!
What's wrong? Where's the Century Soup?
Th... The last boss!
Don't speak.
The more you speak, the more likely you are to damage your reputation.
The mouth is not something for emitting words,
it's something only meant to consume food.
Well, that's what I've always thought...
But I'm always getting told by my master "That's so gloomy",
or "I dunno what the hell you're thinking",
or "Are you just gonna stand there not saying anything you friggin moron?"
But ya know, ya know...
They say "The mouth is a source of calamity",
so then I think there really are things you could lose by talking.
So there are definitely times when it's better to just clam up, ya know?
I mean, I'm not a great speaker by nature,
so once in a while I let my guard down and I blurt out something crude or vulgar.
Maybe I really shouldn't talk so much.
He's talking like crazy.
Hey, you guys.
Can't you say something?
Y-You bastard! Who the hell are you, dammit?!
He clammed up!
This sure is something...
The Gourmet Show Window.
Wh-What? No way...
This is the Gourmet Show Window?
But no, that's not right.
It's not?!
This monster is a Hellboros.
Hellboros (Reptile Beast) Capture Level - 72
The sleeping ruler of Ice Hell.
100 years ago it had Knocking done on it and was frozen in ice.
Though at that time, it shouldn't have withered this thin.
The reason the Hellboros is starving this much is...
the soup stock has been considerably squeezed out.
This is bad.
With just this amount, just how much stock is left in the Gourmet Show Window?
I have to hurry.
Hey, wait a minute, dammit!
Tell us your name, bastard!
I've spoken too much today.
I'll tell ya next time!
This guy...
The Century Soup, it's close!
I can smell it. It's probably below the ground in this area.
You can tell that? I can't even see the aurora.
I remember the smell from Granny Setsu's shop!
Those guys... Are they trying to destroy the Gourmet Show Window as well?!
Get ready everyone! Something's coming!
Jongal Stag Beetle (Jongal Kuwagata) (Insect Beast) Capture Level - 38
Komatsu!
Guys!
They're fast.
Toriko-san!
Found you.
Okay, let's go, you two!
I'm your newscaster, Tina.
Today, we have what tastes like first-rate soused mackerel pickled in vinegar,
Silver Grizzly meat.
And now we'll be telling you an easy way to taste that at home.
Just get some tuna and pickled kelp...
and it tastes just like soused mackerel.
It's the taste of soused mackerel!
It's giving me a craving for some rice.
Bread?
Not rice?
Now it tastes like a soused mackerel sandwich!
This tastes great too.
Only pickled kelp is this picklicious!
Now then, on to the next item of news.
The Gourmet Show Window has finally been found.
And the gong of battle now rings for the struggle for the Century Soup!
The Insect User in Full Bloom!
Tommyrod VS Toriko!
Next time will be a mountain-sized portion of fun, too!
