Someone once said...
that there are beautiful hozuki flowers...
that turn into springy and slightly sweet tender flavored millet dumplings,
Houzukillet Dumpings.
That there are camels whose humps transform into thick and sweet...
heaping helpings of vanilla ice cream.
Vanillamels.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
Toriko and the others have arrived at the Country of Healing, Life.
There, they admired their mysterious and uncanny methods of treatment.
There they met Sani, who was going to meet Teppei's master, Saiseiya Yosaku.
Meanwhile, Komatsu returned to Hotel Gourmet to start work on recreating the Century Soup,
and Yosaku treated Match and the others.
He acknowledged Takimaru's spirit and gave him the medicine he sought.
However, he informed them that it would take 20 years to heal Toriko's arm.
Competition!
Toriko's Recovery or Komatsu's Soup?!
When Komatsu finishes the soup, let's eat it together.
Okay.
I won't get my hopes up, but I'll be waiting.
You do your best, too, Toriko-san.
For 20 years.
20 years, huh?
See ya!
You guys, go buy lots of food supplies.
Eh? Why?
Just do it, and make it snappy.
Okay, Toriko. Shall we get the treatment started?
Hey, is this really gonna take 20 years?
Gourmet Cells are special all-purpose cells that specialize in regeneration.
But to re-grow a whole arm, it ain't that simple.
H-Hey, what're you doing?!
Let me go!
I need your DNA. A lot of it.
Ah, hey! Quit it! Hey!
A Regeneration Seed.
This is a flower seed that absorbs your DNA as its nutrients.
But if it doesn't get enough genetic material, the flower won't bloom.
Is that why you needed so much hair?
Oh! It sprouted!
It bloomed!
Don't piss yourself.
That's just the first step.
Look at the seed in the center of the flower.
All of your genetic information is packed in there.
That includes your left arm.
We're gonna plant that in you.
It's as delicate as a soap bubble, so be careful.
These things are rare, so have the mindset that if it breaks, it's over.
Sorry!
What the hell, man?!
It's okay! Like I always say, "Failure is the acquaintence of success's mother."
The acquaintence of success's mother? Ain't that basically a stranger?!
And that was just a trivial mistake just now.
Do it again, dammit!
More DNA!
Every hair on your entire body!
It-It worked!
Okay, now it's the real deal.
Now we'll soak it in Healing Jelly to make the seed germinate.
Okay, here we go!
Finally, Chef Komatsu has begun to make the Century Soup.
Will he be able to recreate the taste of the soup that appears once every hundred years?
Hey, you're not supposed to be in the kitchen!
Sorry, but I need to concentrate.
Sorry.
Okay, first is to make the basic soup stock...
and then add in the various ingredients.
Anmitsu Bird Carcass as a base, with Plum Onions and Golden Carrots...
( Anmitsu is a dessert made of agar jelly, azuki bean paste, boiled peas and a variety of fruits. )
and Roast Mochi Pepper pieces slowly boiled together.
Mmm... Delicious.
First, I should increase the savoriness with some shellfish.
I'll put in some Matsutake Shells, Smoke Clam, Milk Scallop...
and some Rainbow Littleneck Clam.
Mmm, tasty.
But wrong.
It's totally different from the Century Soup.
I'll try adjusting the flavor with some spices.
I'll add some Sushi Salt and Seven-Colored Wine, and..
Mmm... Delicious.
But as I expected, totally wrong.
The Century Soup had a much richer flavor.
Its depth was on a whole other level.
Just as I'd expect, I won't be able to do this using ordinary methods.
Aww... You really can't come in.
Are you hungry?
Come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything either.
Maybe I should call it quits for today.
But I'll definitely recreate the Century Soup!
I've gotta wait 20 years?
And have this stupid haircut...
Back!
We bought food supplies.
Wha's with that hair?!
That really doesn' work for you! And not beaut'ful at all!
Shut up! Leave me alone!
That hair's pretty wild and cool, too!
Toriko, starting now your job is to eat.
That seed will drain nutrients from your body as it grows.
If it doesn't get enough nutrients it won't grow. And if you're not vigilant...
you'll die.
My job is to eat?
This is gonna be the most fun job I've ever had.
Toriko!
Wha? That was fast.
Eat some food, Toriko!
I-Itadakimasu.
No way!
An arm bud has already sprouted?
That usually takes at least a year!
This ain't good! I'm gonna die! Bring more!
Toriko... Your Gourmet Cells are...
Spiny Eel. With this, I should get some excellent soup stock.
It's been three weeks since the work on recreating the soup began.
Chef Komatsu has been working through the night many days in a row.
I'll add some Steak Seaweed that's been soaked in water for a week, Skirt Steak Sardines,
and some Mist Shitake Mushrooms.
Also some Tuna Pig Cutlets, some Smoked Ham Mackerel,
Vanilla Carrots and some Peach Lemon Skins.
Nope.
Maybe I didn't need the Vanilla Carrots?
Komatsu-kun, how are things going?
I've got a long way to go.
Are you cheering me on?
Thanks.
I'll definitely complete the soup from your birthplace, okay?
He's drooling just thinking about it.
You wanna taste some soon, too?
More food...
Hurry!
Food supplies! Go buy more!
Food, right!
This doesn't measure up to Setsuno-san's Century Soup at all.
It's been three months since he started working on the soup.
Chef Komatsu has been working on it non-stop.
What made Setsuno-san's soup amazing was the ingredients.
They were all things that were newly discovered this century.
She used ingredients representing the present to recreate the ancient flavor.
That was out of respect for her predecessors
and her pride as a chef living in the present age.
Setsuno-san was unmistakably making a Century Soup for this century.
I will, too... With ingredients I'll look for now,
I'll make the Century Soup of this century.
But how do I do that...
Good evening, Setsuno-san.
I thought it was about time you showed up, Komatsu-kun.
This is the soup I've made with my current progress.
Would you like to try it and see how it tastes, Setsuno-san?
You youngsters always want answers right away, don't you?
S-Sorry.
Setsuno-san, just how many days did it take you to make that delicious Century Soup you made?
Let's see. About...
30 years.
30 years?!
If it took Setsuno-san 30 years then just how many years is it gonna take me?!
Well then, I'll help myself.
Th-This is...
I've seen Master's long-term revival treatments before, but...
this is the first time I've seen a patient recover so quickly.
You continue to impress, Toriko.
No matter how much I eat I'm never full.
It feels like my left arm keeps sucking away all the nutrients.
But anyhow, Regeneration Seed, huh?
I never would've guessed something miraculous like this existed in the natural world.
No, that seed is one of Master's originals.
There are lots of things in the natural world that stimulate regeneration,
but nothing as special as this.
Only Master knows how to make it.
That's awesome.
That's the first time I've been impressed with the old man.
But Teppei, why'd you become Yosaku's disciple?
You've got the blood of that incredible Bishokuya, Knocking Master Jiriou running through your veins, after all.
Did you ever think of becoming a Bishokuya?
I have respect for what my grandfather does.
When I was a kid, he took me with him on hunts all the time.
And I aspired to be a Bishokuya as well.
But one day...
I was shocked by the scenery I saw at a place I went with my grandfather.
The ground had run dry and the ingredients were dead.
What shocked me wasn't just the landscape,
it was also the forlorn expression on my grandfather's face.
Apparently, it had been a place where he held memories of comrades from long ago.
It was the first time I saw my grandfather, who always had a grin on his face, looking so despondent.
He had wanted to show me all the ingredients that had been there back then.
At that time, I thought...
"I'm not going to hunt ingredients. I'm going to protect them."
So you became a Saiseiya.
At the time, there weren't many Saiseiya.
And all the more ingredients were dying out.
Well, my goal for the now is...
to protect the ingredients that the great man, my grandfather, discovered.
As well as release the creatures he used Knocking on in his drunken escapades.
Is that right?
There're plenty of those, I bet.
Thing's he's used Knock...ing...
Toriko?
How're things progressing, Toriko?
Toriko!
Wha?
Toriko.
What the hell?
Come back if anything happens.
Though, you may never come back.
Don't forget, Komatsu-kun...
Us chefs are always chosen by the ingredients.
So listen carefully.
I'm sure the voices of the ingredients will guide you to the correct answer.
The ingredients are already meeting you halfway,
they must be trying to tell you something.
The ingredients are talking to me?
Hurry, go. And make a good...
real Century Soup!
Okay! I'll do my best!
I can't believe he's already completed that much.
I think it took me easily ten years to make it to that stage.
He went through hardships going to the actual location...
and seeing the ingredient in its natural form.
The emotion from savoring that taste must have been unfathomable.
That's the big difference between Komatsu-kun and I.
Though it was dangerous, I'm glad I recommended he go on the trip.
The emotional impact from working hard to obtain something, huh?
Jiro-chan...
It's been quite a long time since I've tasted it.
What is this?!
Good to see.
So we're already at this stage?
Like I thought, it's advancing quickly.
Teppei, your Nail Chuusha.
Okay.
What the hell is going on?
It's a side effect of the Regeneration Seed.
Your body is going to start exhibiting lots of different symptoms.
It'll be a test of endurance.
Medicine Bee (Kusuri Bachi) (Insect) Capture Level - 23
I'll treat it with Medicine Bees.
They've got medicine that can suppress different kinds of symptoms.
Get fired up, Toriko.
We'll do everything we can,
but we need to rely on your stamina and willpower.
If you let up for even a second, you'll die.
Toriko!
No way in hell I'll lose to this!
I'm waiting for Komatsu to make the Century Soup.
I'm definitely gonna live through this!
We don't have enough Medicine Bees!
The voices of the ingredients...
Cartilage Cabbage. This should bring out a good flavor.
I'll try soaking some Onlynuts for a minute.
And some Pork Potato and Stewine.
A Soup Stock Pelican with pieces of bonito in its beak!
It's stored up lots of flaked bonito!
The voices of the ingredients...
I made it this far...
Transparent soup!
I finally caught up to Setsuno-san's Century Soup.
The battle starts here.
I have to find the final ingredient to finish the soup.
Just how tough are they?
Rin, for you, that was beautiful.
Let's hurry and bring these back!
Master, isn't this dangerous?
We're already out of Medicine Bees.
What violent side effects!
His body can't keep up with the speed of the regeneration.
He's losing to his own Gourmet Cells.
Sorry for the wait.
Sorry it took so much time.
Keep fighting, Toriko!
Okay, good job!
Brace yourself, Toriko. Just a little more.
Finally, we've come to the last step away from completing the soup.
But without having found the final ingredient,
Chef Komatsu's fatigue and exhaustion has reached its peak.
Even here in another room, I can still feel the chef's distress.
Will the Century Soup be completed in the end?
What's going on?
It's no good.
I have no idea what the last ingredient is.
Sorry for always keeping you waiting.
You must be hungry, right?
It's not complete yet, but would you like to try some?
I'm your newscaster, Tina.
The Spiny Eel, which you can draw the ultimate soup stock from,
surprisingly has eggs very similar to salmon roe.
So, today we're going to be show you an easy way to reproduce the flavor of salmon roe.
Wrap a piece of mandarin orange with seaweed, add shoyu, and...
It should have a taste like that of salmon roe battleship sushi roll.
It's really salmon roe!
A heaping helping of illusion!
Easy, wasn't it?
Economic, wasn't it?
Just what is the price of this salmon roe...?
I don't think I'm gonna say a pun that cliche.
Not even I could say that.
( That last sentence had the word "ikura", meaning salmon roe, in it used with a different meaning. )
Not even I...
Not even... No good?
On to the next item of news.
Next time is the exclusive report I've always wanted.
This soup is a new world of taste!
To a World of Bliss!
Century Soup, the Actual Food
Next time will be a heaping helping of fun, too!
