Someone once said...
that there is a rich-flavored, syrupy, sweet and salty sauce...
that pours down like rain...
and they are decorated with soft pieces of fried bonito that dance down from the heavens...
onto round, round okonomiyaki fruits,
( Okonomiyaki is a savory pancake containing a variety of ingredients. )
Okonofruits.
And takos... Er, tons of them are attached to Takoyatrees.
( Takoyatree is a pun on "takoyaki" and "tree". Takoyaki are octopus dumplings. )
That there are islands where between fluffy sponges...
there is sweet white cream and fresh fruits...
amply packed together like layers of earth,
creating omelette's.
All aligned to form a chain of islands,
an Omelepelago.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking yet-unknown tastes.
Seeking the legendary soup said to only appear once every hundred years, the Century Soup,
Toriko and Komatsu have disembarked onto the continent of intense cold, Ice Hell,
and are acting together with Takimaru and Match.
Also aiming to capture the soup, a group led by the Bishokukai Sous Chef Tommyrod...
have come to block Toriko and the others' path.
Meanwhile, Tina, Zonge, and his subordinates have hurried ahead through a different route.
And Teppei, who has reached the very bottom of the cave,
has been dumbfounded by the spectacle before his eyes.
Around this time, Coco has hurried to a certain location on Mansam's orders.
The parent penguins looking for their child have appeared in front of Toriko and the others,
and the ice mountain caved in.
There they found the legendary Gourmet Show Window, below which the soup is said to slumber.
Toriko entrusted Komatsu to capture the soup.
And now the curtain has been drawn on the decisive battle against the Bishokukai.
Gratitude and Pride!
Takimaru, use Sennuki Shot With All Your Might!
They sure are noisy.
Komatsu, I'm counting on you.
This is the first time... that Toriko has asked me something that seriously.
I'm counting on you.
It's the first time he's relied on me.
I have to get the Century Soup, no matter what!
Over there?
Please, wait!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really so...
rr...y...
Um...?
Gamura Mosquito (Insect Beast) Capture Level - 30
Y-You just clapped and squashed it like it was totally normal!
I dunno how to use Knocking on this sorta insect beast.
Shh. Quiet.
You'd best not speak.
Or you won't be able to return home from this continent.
None of the ice is melting or anything around here.
It's eerily quiet.
Is this really even the right path?!
There's no way we're just getting further and further away from Toriko and the soup, right?
Geez. This is why noobs bother me.
What we've been doing for a while now is rather than focusing the difficulty of the route,
we've just purely been enjoying the development of the emotional story, dammit!
And now we're finally getting to the ending where we capture the soup, right?
Yep.
What are these people talking about?
I can't understand one milligram of it.
Since before we came here, all they've been doing is just interpreting everything like it's a role playing game.
Unlike a game, you can't redo things when you get them wrong.
No matter what, I'm going to go home having recorded the moment the soup is captured!
They sure are noisy.
Just die quietly!
Penguins!
( Ittou Ryoudan Kabutowari = Cutting in Two with a Single Stroke - Helmet Split )
( Sennuki Press = Bottle Opener Press )
Tommyrod... You bastard...
Was there any meaning in killing those penguins?
Huh?
Don't "Huh?" me.
Are you even hungry?
I ain't gonna eat that trash.
I just killed them because they were noisy.
Not only have you wasted precious lives,
you didn't even give them any dignity in their deaths.
Despicable.
Ram. Hand me the Ice Machine Gun.
Sir!
You make me sick.
You're pests even lower than us.
And pests need to be exterminated.
Barry!
Right!
Hang on, I'll be taking you.
Hey, hey, look what you did.
His voice suddenly change.
What a strange person.
You've removed my shell quite brilliantly.
Whoever the hell you are.
I am a member of the Gourmet Knights, Takimaru.
I am the Bishokukai 5th Branch Branch Chief, Bogeyuz.
But this is just fine. I'll make you a lodge next.
( The word "lodge" Bogeyuz uses is part of the Japanese word for "hermit crab", around which his character is themed. )
Make me a lodge... What do you mean?
Gourmet Knights, huh?
I couldn't possibly have any use for your worthless policies,
but as a lodge, you'll make a fine addition to my collection.
( Nikutataki Head = Tenderizer Head )
Match-san!
Quit scampering around.
I'll make it all feel better in a moment, so just stay put.
Bastard...
Looks like guns won't work.
All right, I'll be your opponent.
Using the famed sword Ryuuou, I'll bring this guy to an end.
( Ryuuou = Dragon King )
What was that attack just now?
A pretty good response.
I'm wanting to make you a lodge more and more.
Compared to that Gourmet SP crumpled over there,
you're a much better item.
That isn't artificial?
I can't exactly call it alive, but...
I enter inside the body and become the skeleton. And if I manipulate the nerves,
I can utilize its true power just as it was when it was alive.
What?!
It's not masquerading or camouflage.
I can even resurrect the voice and any peculiarities.
Simply put, it's transformation into another person.
So that's why his voice suddenly changed when the skin was removed?
The internal organs and tissues are restored and have Knocking applied to them.
Operation of neural transmissions, deciphering of the hippo campus...
They're techniques I've learned by preparing every kind of ingredient and entering into every wild beast's body...
Right now my collection of lodges reaches the dozens.
And now it looks like I've added quite a skilled item to it.
Though there might be some misses on the inside.
You bastard!
I've got high hopes for you!
As a newly constructed lodge!
You bastard, don't tell me, that eye...
Change of plans.
It's cursed, isn't it? That eye.
Looks like we have an item with a history.
I don't need that shitty body.
Maybe I'll make that mafia guy my lodge.
No, I'll make it Toriko.
I just really don't wanna be cursed.
Takimaru!
Aw, if this keeps up, you might not even be able to become one of Bogey's lodges.
How likely is it we reach the soup before the Bishokukai?
At the present stage, the possibility looks like about half and half.
Did you just say handsome?
I did not!
Anyhow, how are the movements of the Heavenly Kings going?
If we know that, we can get a better handle on what our chances are.
Hey, did you just say handsome again?
Wait, you're waving "handsomes" on me, aren't you?
Perhaps we should go offline?
With regards to Coco, he started moving a long time ago.
So then Coco will be getting to Ice Hell momentarily?
That's wonderful!
I didn't say he was going straight there.
It's been a while hasn't it, Coco?
It's nice to see you again, Granny Setsu.
Let me see...
You don't have a reservation for my special menu, is there something urgent?
There's something I'd like to tell you, Granny Setsu.
This left eye is like this because of a blessing from someone very dear to me.
And my body still exists right now thanks to this left eye.
I may just be an item with a history to you,
but thanks to the love from a certain person that supported it, this item...
will never be something you will dwell in!
I'm surprised you got back up.
I won't dwell in you? I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
The rent of living with gratitude...
is something you could never pay!
What? Gratitude?
Are you an idiot? Living with gratitude...?
Do you really think I need something like that to take over your body?!
I can't read the trajectory of his attacks.
Victory goes to the one who strikes first.
Hm, that's a pretty interesting technique you've got there.
It dislodges bones, huh?
So that was the technique you used to rip me out of my lodge in the beginning?
Impossible...
The bone I just dislodged was a backbone.
It's a key point of the skeleton's structure and the place where blood is created.
And it's also serves as the central point for nerve transmission.
You shouldn't be able to move one step right now.
How can you stand there so composed?
Inexplicable?
It's nothing of the sort.
My skeletal structure is different from a normal humans.
In both number and shape, they're utterly different.
A normal human has about 206 bones.
But I have about 4,000 bones.
My skeleton is composed of nearly 20 times the number of bones of a normal person.
Furthermore, my joints and muscles are as flexible as a ballerina's,
and also I can detach them.
It's a technique I gained from lodging inside lots of different creatures.
Now, I'm not limited to humans.
I can infiltrate the bodies of creatures with complicated forms.
Understand? A greater number of bones and joints make it possible to move more complicated bodies.
I can enter inside nearly any creature.
So the reason I couldn't read the trajectory of your attacks...
was because of the number of bones and complexity of the joints you have?
So let's make a precise assessment of what removing a lower back bone does.
If I were a normal human, the battle world be over of course,
but unfortunately, for me if I lose a backbone, other bones will support my body.
And the nerve signals can be sent to the rest of my body by other bones.
You turned your bones into a weight and a sickle?!
Now, let me finish this!
This is...
Did you realize it? That's right.
A kusarigama...?
( A kusarigama is a type of traditional Japanese weapon made up of a sickle attached to a metal chain. )
You turned your own joints into a chain?
So can you read these movements?
This doesn't look good.
Just as I thought, I can't read the trajectory of his attacks as at all.
Unless I shorten his attack range...
What's that supposed to be?
It ain't gonna work on me!
It's useless!
Useless!
No matter how many times you dislodge my bones,
it's utterly useless!
Unfortunately for you, I'm the worst type of opponent you could have.
And I had... finally found it...
Wha? You say somethin'?
I took too much damage. And my bones are heavily broken.
This is bad... My consciousness is...
Is this the end...?
Takimaru!
Toriko!
Is this the time to be worrying about other people?
You lack concentration, Taki!
How many times have I told you?
When performing techniques, you mustn't let your image of it collapse.
In order to do that, you need to hone your power of concentration.
I'll teach you a simple way to do it.
What?
