Someone once said...
that there is a thicket as hard as stone,
but to the touch it is smooth as silk.
If you cut off and eat some, it has the savory taste of bonito and konbu seaweed all throughout it.
Bonito Bush.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
At Life, Toriko struggles to regenerate his left arm.
Meanwhile, Komatsu endeavors to recreate the Century Soup
and makes it to the final step from completion.
And at that moment...
To a World of Bliss!
Century Soup, the Actual Food
Toriko!
What the?!
The soup is...
doooone.
Toriko?
Hey.
I'm healed!
Toriko! I'm so glad!
Rin!
Just a minute ago, he was on the verge of death.
Yeah. I was starting to think he was done for.
Those cells activated really damn fast.
The rule, the accepted notion that it would take 20 years...
You brilliantly crushed it to pieces, Toriko!
H-Hey, where're you going?
It's calling me.
Delicious food is calling me.
I can't believe the last ingredient was your saliva.
I never would've dreamt that was it.
After feeding on the Century Soup for generations,
the flavor of the soup must have soaked into your bodies.
( A swift's nest is the main ingredient in a delicacy called bird's nest soup and is made out of the swift bird's solidified saliva. )
It's a high-quality saliva like a swift's nest.
Thank you for choosing me.
Looks like he finished the soup.
The media is swarming Hotel Gourmet.
It's Chef Komatsu!
Congratulations on completing the legendary soup!
When can the legendary soup be expected to be put on the restaurant's menu?
No, um...
Will you release the recipe?
Let me though.
I am here for a tasting.
Patch-shi!
One of the Gourmet Seven, taste testers sent from the chief nations of the IGO,
Patch-shi has appeared!
Ooh, my, my. Patch-sama.
Chef. Prepare the Century Soup.
Um, Manager...
If G7 recognize the soup, the number of stars the hotel has will increase, Komatsu-kun.
I'm terribly sorry, but...
I can't present the soup to him just yet.
Hm? Why?
There are some people who I'd like to have it first.
Oh? Customers even before me?
Komatsu!
Yo.
Toriko-san, Coco-san!
Yohohoy!
Toriko? And Coco, as well?
Gourmet Human National Treasure Setsuno-san is here, too!
We're here to eat the Century Soup.
So your arm's all better, huh?
I'm so glad!
Toriko-san, before you eat the soup,
could you tell us what's going through your mind right now?
Ah, um...
One statement, please!
It's damn noisy in here. Hey!
Sorry I kept you waiting, Komatsu.
I'm the one who was late.
But I finally finished it. The Century Soup.
Yeah, I realized.
Toriko's Gourmet Cells reacted to the completion of the soup,
bringing about an astounding recovery.
It was a show of ferocious life energy. Or rather, some damn decent gluttony.
So you finished, did you?
Ah, Takimaru-san, how is Aimaru-san's condition?
Yes. He was unwilling to take the medicine no matter what.
Is that so?
But it's okay. I'll definitely make sure he takes it.
Did you really complete it?
I ain't believing it until I've eaten it.
Match-san, please take some back for the children of your city.
You have my gratitude, Komatsu-kun.
You used cooking to revive the ingredient I couldn't.
Well, it was because I was able to drink the last drop...
that I was able to reproduce the Century Soup.
The completion of the soup is thanks to Teppei-san...
No, thanks to everyone.
And the ingredients, too.
Yes!
I finally understood what you said, Setsuno-san.
Really, really?
So the ingredients told you lots of different things, did they?
You must be glad they told you.
Yes.
C'mon, let's get to the actual soup.
There's a heaping helping of agreement from me!
Tina-san!
Because I'll be getting a heaping helping of a scoop!
Gourmet TV?!
They're getting an exclusive report?
By the way, where's Sani-san?
He said he had something to do, and stayed behind at Life.
How about we bring him some later?
Okay.
Huh? Zonge-san and the others aren't here either.
He got caught trying to capture Doctor Fish at Life.
Those guys never change.
I'm terribly sorry, Patch-sama!
No, it's all right.
I can't blame him for giving them priority.
I'll come again later.
O... Okay.
Anyhow, I have a word of advice.
Having completed the soup, that chef's name has become known worldwide.
I recommend he get a body guard from now on.
Now then, everyone.
Please enjoy the Century Soup.
I give thanks to all of the ingredients in this world...
Itadakimasu!
A-Amazing!
The aurora appeared!
This is the real...
Century Soup!
It's perfectly transparent, like there's nothing inside at all.
But the soup is definitely there.
This warmth... How incredibly gentle.
That warmth comes from being boiled for tens of hours...
And being stored at a moderate temperature.
What an indescribably good smell.
Hundreds of ingredients are playing in the harmony of a rich scent.
This soup makes an elegant sound.
It has a refreshing and pleasant tone...
that carries the weight of ancient times.
You can immerse yourself in the sound,
anticipate with your eyes,
be satisfied with the palms of your hands,
and stuff yourself with the smell.
Being able to savor it this much without even tasting it...
makes it a simply astounding soup!
What?! I bit it!
The taste was too rich,
for a moment I thought I was biting into a hamburg steak!
It feels like thick layers of deliciousness that have accumulated since ancient times...
are gradually coming apart and spreading in my mouth.
Primitive tastes that have been sleeping up until now are waking up little by little.
It's an ancient taste, yet it's fresh.
What a satisfying feeling...
So this is the Century Soup?
Yum!
What? Power is... lowering in the corners of my eyes and rising in the corners of my mouth.
I can't stop my face from making a smile.
This is too delicious. Too satisfying.
I can't help but grin!
Everybody's making bawdy faces!
What's with this?
You're doing it too, Match-san.
You're making a pretty entertaining face, aren't you?
I'm embarrassed.
I'll give an actual tasting report, too!
Delicious....
Komatsu!
Is it okay if I put this in?
To my Full Course?
Th-The soup that I...
The soup that someone like me made?
What're you crying about? I'm the one asking, Komatsu.
It'd be an honor!
You're crying too much, man. Eat some soup.
Yeah, Komatsu, even though you're crying... you're grinning.
I smiled, I did...
A Wall Penguin? So as I thought, it was you?
The key to completing the soup.
How'd you know that?
When you've been a chef for as long as I have, you know.
When an ingredient is meeting you halfway, at least.
Part of this little one was the final component of the soup.
Really, now?
So, are you going to apply for a patent on the soup?
Special forms of cooking...
can have special recipe rights recognized for them.
No, I don't think I will.
If I get a patent I'll have to reveal the recipe to the public.
The Wall Penguin is an endangered species,
so I'd be worried they would be over-hunted.
And also, it's an item on Toriko-san's Full Course.
I'll protect it dearly!
That's just like you, Komatsu-kun.
All right!
I can gather the components for it any time, so leave that to me, Komatsu.
Okay, Toriko-san!
This is kind of a marvelous feeling.
Yes. Witnessing the moment an ingredient gets added to Toriko's Full Course.
With the BB Corn as an hors' d'oeuvre to get the tension up and get the stomach excited,
it will suddenly be answered...
with the Century Soup.
Century Soup
Thank you, Komatsu.
Toriko-san...
Okay, here's to the soup!
Cheers!
Komatsu-kun's Century Soup...
was officially acknowledged by G7.
And Hotel Gourmet has had a flood of reservations for the next several days.
And the hotel has ranked up from 5-stars to 6-stars.
We will be continuing our exclusive coverage of the Century Soup
in the following days as a special feature. So please look forward to it.
Ah, they're back!
Now then, on to the next item of news...
It's uncle Match and the others!
Uncle!
Hey!
What is this? I don't see a thing.
Are you pantomiming?
Are you an air-soup champion?
No, no. The Century Soup has a high degree of transparency, you see.
We can't put this on the air.
Please swallow this medicine, Aimaru-san.
This is as far as my life goes.
I will entrust my life to nature.
This medicine is 100% natural!
It doesn't go against the doctrine of the Gourmet Knights!
No...
Taki, that's enough.
Aimaru-san. I have a message from Toriko-san to give you.
You met Toriko?
I see.
In that case, there may be value in living a little longer.
And this, from Toriko-san's Full Course Menu.
Century Soup.
Toriko...
Toriko-san, just what message did you give for Aimaru-san?
The information that the main dish of Acacia's Full Course,
God would be appearing within the next few years.
So you're saying God really exists?!
I'm just saying those are the rumors!
Oh, right. Rumors, huh?
Toriko, have you heard of God?
Of course. It's the pinnacle of the ingredients in this world.
I decided I'm making God my main dish.
How about it, Ai?
We have a contest to see who can find God first?
No, I have my Gourmet Knight doctrine to follow.
What? Don't like to lose?
What? All right then, you're on!
All righty! But I'm pretty strong you know!
Boss. I have brought you Century Soup from Ice Hell.
Boss?
Wha...?
I'm amazed there was this level of ingredient still in the Human World.
But the ingredients I seek are utterly those of Gourmet World.
Alfaro.
How many people at headquarters are capable of making it here to the Gourmet World?
Yes. Head Chef Kuromado is first on the list.
Then there are the Sous Chefs Staajyun,
Grinparch,
and Tommyrod.
As well as the Branch Chief of the First Branch, Elg and the Sommelier Limon.
And perhaps a few more.
You have my permission to allow others to eat this soup,
and increase the number of people who can enter Gourmet World.
Understand? From here we aim for ingredients in Gourmet World.
For those that can't enter, you may use GT Robos.
And to the bitter end, our ultimate goal is God. Do not forget.
Yes, sir.
From eating just one mouthful,
the level of his cells clearly increased.
But the impression it made on the Boss was small.
As I thought, is the only ingredient that will satisfy the Boss, God?
Or perhaps...
You actually wounded me. You really are something, Heavenly King Sani!
But you can't enter the Gourmet World with only that.
Earth is in Gourmet World, isn't it?
Yes.
Once I gain enough power to go to Gourmet World,
you'll guide me to it, won't you?
I promise.
I break rules, but I'm a man who keeps his promises.
Hey, Sani, Yosaku!
We brought ya some completed Century Soup.
We ate a little, though.
Wha-What's with those vulgar faces?!
Huuuh? What about those wounds you've got, Sani?
You get in a fight?
That's so unrefined, Sani-san.
You're the unr'fined ones!
You're makin' me sick! Get outta here!
Please, just have some anyhow, Sani-san.
Century Soup.
Let me have some of that Century Soup, too!
Yuuuum!
You've got a weird face, Yosaku-san.
Have some, Sani.
Def'nitely not.
I don' wanna make that unbeaut'ful face.
Why? It's so delicious!
The aurora is beaut'ful. I acknowledge that and that alone.
Everything else is disgustin'!
I'm your newscaster, Tina.
Chefs once struggled many hardships to make the Century Soup.
By adding a thousand cherries to some tofu,
you can make Cencherry Tofu.
With some green tea leaves and syrup, you can make Senchary Syrup.
( The word for green tea leaves is "sencha", hence the pun. )
Senchary Syrup!
And when the idea came to add sweet things into the green tea,
a certain discovery was made.
If you mix together barley tea, sugar, and milk together...
it tastes like milk coffee!
Then let's take a mil-look at what we have.
Take a mil-look at the milk coffee we have and drink it. Mil-look.
And if it's cold out, you can drink it hot!
Now then, on to the next item of news.
Heaping helping gorgeous!
And also delicious!
Let's all stop by Toriko's palatial residence!
A Housewarming Party!
Everyone Gathers at Sweets House!
Next week will be a heaping helping of fun, too!
