Someone once said...
that there is a meat that has plenty of savory fat meat and tender red meat,
and blooms like the petals of a rose with an almost enchanting taste.
Rose Meat.
( This is a pun on the word for "boned ribs", "baraniku". )
That there is an ant that stores a large amount of nectar inside its body
in the shape of a bright red apple.
An Antpple.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
Toriko and the others had completely devoured the new house of candy
created by the first-class Gourmet Architect, Smile.
Then Tina urged the lamenting Smile to hurry up starting the delayed construction
of the Gourmet King Deciding Battle stage.
Hearing about all the delicious ingredients that would be assembled there,
Toriko and the others decided to head there as well.
The Gourmet King Deciding Battle!
Find the Ultimate Sweets!
Smile-san really is incredible!
I can't believe he made such an elaborate stage in such a small amount of time.
But man, this place is intense!
Huh? Where's Coco-san?
With such a big crowd, I'd think he'd be leaving soon.
Coco-san!
Toriko!
Sani, too!
Aren't they two of the Gourmet Four Heavenly Kings?!
Woah!
Ah, Tina-san!
Thank you all for waiting.
The special event, the Gourmet King Deciding Battle, is finally about to begin!
I'm your MC, Tina, the newscaster from Gourmet TV,
bringing this to you live in countries all over the world.
First up, we have a word from the representative of this tournament's sponsor,
( This name comes from "fond de veau", which is a french brown veal broth. )
Restaurant Bohno, Fond De Bohno-san. Go ahead.
Heh? He sure is young to be running this event.
That Restaurant Bohno...
It's a chain restaurant that's spreading to countries all over the world.
And its manager, Bohno-san, is wealthy enough to be ranked within the top 10 of the Gourmet Richest People List.
He's even drawing close to that wealthy gourmet Mokkoi-shi.
So this tournament is a pastime for rich people?
There's only one point of contention!
For the member of my family, Chris, whose appetite has remarkably dwindled lately,
bring me an amazingly delicious ingredient as soon as you can.
The victor shall be recognized by Restaurant Bohno,
given the title of number one Gourmet King,
and be presented with a prize of one billion yen!
A billion yen?!
He must really be worried about this Chris-san person!
It's truly beaut'ful, isn't it?!
And here is Chris-san, who will be judging ingredients today with Bohno-san.
Raise the curtain!
Seven-Colored Nessie (Nanairo Nessie) (Pterosaur Beast) Capture Level - 34
That's a...
That's...
I believe it's a Seven-Colored Nessie!
A legendary dinosaur said to live in ancient times.
The member of his family was a wild beast?!
I didn't hear about this...
Red of the earth, green of the trees, blue of the sea and the light of the stars.
Those beautiful seven colors are proof of the supreme king of land and air.
But...
Is something wrong?
It seems that Chris-san, who would always share meals with Bohno-san,
has recently stopped eating completely.
The ultimate ingredient that could let Chris and I eat together again...
must be somewhere.
The person that captures that ingredient first
will be the winner of this tournament!
Now then, go ahead, challengers.
It's Potato Port Cutlet.
An ingredient you can only find in places abundant with minerals.
Hold on!
This is the flower whose petals have the taste and texture of cow tongue, Tonpopo!
Having captured such a precious ingredient, I'm the one who deserves to be called Gourmet King!
What'd you say?!
They look good, don't they, Chris?
Sorry, you two.
Please try something even more delicious.
Also, every ingredient that gets brought here
will be enjoyed by the members of the audience!
There ain't anything that big guy wants to eat.
Extreme fasting and prolonged limiting of meals to ones lacking saccharides
creates strong-smelling compounds called ketone bodies inside the body.
I can smell that odor from Chris.
Odor?
That huge body needs sweet food, and a lot of it.
It's going to need some sugar really soon or else.
A lack of sugar causes muscle atrophy,
and it will also ruin the skin quite a bit.
If it doesn't eat some super sweeeet ingredients in a hurry.
Sweet ingredients?
Yes. If nothing is done, he will gradually debilitate.
Coco-san?
We need to get him to eat the ultimate sweet ingredient soon.
What is the ultimate sweet ingredient?
The Grand Berry!
The Honey Dragon!
The Milkwhale!
You all picked different things.
It's obviously the Grand Berry!
It absorbs all the nutrients from the earth that it wants,
and has the sweet tastes of every kind of berry packed into it.
It's a uniquely sweet fruit.
No, it's definitely the Milkwhale!
Milkwhale?
To be exact it's the milk secreted from the Milkwhale.
The idea of its smoothness, like a pure white silk, is pretty damn beaut'ful!
But when it comes to nutritional value and the ultimate sweetness,
the answer is always honey, isn't it?
And among all the honies, the Honey Dragon is...
The Grand Berry's the sweetest!
No! Milk's got sugariness and lactose in it!
There they go, again.
His electromagnetic waves are in disorder.
I don't blame him. A pet is a part of the family.
Coco-san...
From how it looks,
it has yet to capture the legendary fruit associated with the Seven-Colored Nessie.
Legendary Fruit?
There is a legend that after growing to a certain size, a healthy Seven-Colored Nessie
is said to guide one to the location of a legendary fruit.
Seriously?
What's it taste like?
"The sign of love will rise into the red sky and lead to the legendary fruit."
When ripe, the beauty and taste of that fruit is said to be exceptional.
Man, I wanna eat that!
Beaut'ful...
Truly a fruit worthy for me to eat.
I said I wanted to eat it first!
This one's mine!
It's exceptionally beaut'ful!
Um, why don't you eat it together...
No way!
If we share it, the balance of deliciousness might lose its beauty.
We don't know how it looks or how big it is,
so there's no way I can promise to eat it with someone else!
That's why I...
I will!
No, me!
They started at it again.
Me!
Okay, whoever makes Chris feel better will be the one who gets led to the fruit.
That'll make it clear.
A contest, huh?
You're on, Sani!
I'll search for an ingredient that will cheer up Chris as well.
What?!
You mean... a battle between Heavenly Kings for ingredients?!
What's wrong, Chris?
Rin-san, hurry...
Chris?
Eh? Huh? Toriko?
You wait here with Kruppoh, okay?
Toriko-san!
Hey, wait up!
I'm goin', too!
Made it.
Huh? Big Brother, where's Toriko?
I wouldn't have the faintest idea.
Toriko-san, where are we headed?
An uncivilized solitary island floating on a distant sea, Megamori Island.
( Megamori = Mega-sized Portion )
Megamori Island...
Is that where the Grand Berry is?
Yeah. The Grand Berry has a unique shape that looks just like a dragon.
That fruit is a favorite food of pterosaur beasts, or in other words, any kind of dragon.
So for a Seven-Colored Nessie whose ancestors are dinosaurs,
it would naturally be a favorite food, huh?
Yeah.
Ooh, it's in sight.
That's Megamori Island!
Wait, Toriko!
I'm gonna catch up to you, soon!
Yeah, no you're not.
Come on, let's go to where Toriko is, Big Brother.
We can still make it.
Toriko's gonna win anyway.
Sorry, but the victor shall be me.
Yeah, how?
The milk of the Milkwhale has one thousand times the fat content of a land mammal's.
It's rich with a peculiar sweetness filled with nutrients.
If it's just sweetness, Toriko and Coco's ingredient both...
And the vol'me of it ain't anything to sneeze at.
Gluttonous dragons are said to be satisfied by sweet tastes and large amounts of it.
Therefore, the only one that will satisfy the Seven-Colored Nessie... will be me.
And with the rest, I'll have a milk bath with a great fat content,
making my skin moist and smooth.
Really? I'm actually kinda glad I came with you.
The Honey Dragon is an ingredient that appeared in myths and murals of the ancient past.
And for the Seven-Colored Nessie that lived during that same age, it should be the food it is most adapted to.
We should be there soon.
According to my fortune telling, it should appear in this area.
What a pretty butterfly.
This powder... it smells like a delicious spice.
It's kind of mesmerizing...
Komatsu!
Toriko-san!
It charms those who see it, with its pretty appearance and its scales, that have the taste of a delicious spice.
Butterspice (Choumiryou) (Insect Beast) Capture Level 5
That's why it's called a Butterspice.
If you keep looking at it, it'll lure you into the territory of really dangerous beasts.
Keep your wits about you, Komatsu.
R-Right.
Huh? Could this be...
I knew it.
There we go...
All right! Friction Sweet Potatoes!
( This is a pun on "masatsu" (friction) and "satsumaimo" sweet potato. )
Friction Sweet Potato (Masatsumaimo) (Grain) Capture Level - 7
Friction Sweet Potatoes are weak against friction,
so if you cut them with a knife normally, they char black since they require special preparation.
Here.
Itadakimasu.
So sweet!
It's a potato, but it has a delicate texture like cotton candy.
Yeah. But we're bringing something even sweeter to the Seven-Colored Nessie.
Wha's he doin?
It's here.
Rin, hold on tight.
What's that?! It's freakin' huge!
Milkwhale (Milkujira) (Mammal Beast) Capture Level - 21
The Milkwhale.
I found it, just as I'd hoped.
We did it, Big Brother!
Big Brother?
The all-important milk isn't spouting from it...
That's true.
Bakun Sea Urchin (Bakun Uni) (Fish Beast) Capture Level - 27
It's the hooligan of the sea, the Baku Uni.
Like I thought, that's why the Milkwhale isn't giving milk.
When it's under a little stress, its output of milk worsens.
These big guys are pretty delicate.
Why would it attack a whale that's not even resisting?!
Wrong.
It's a Shimpfly!
Shrimpfly (Ebifly) (Pterosaur Beast) Capture Level - 22
Shrimpfly and Baku Urchin,
Sorry, but your timing is too disgustin'!
If you're gonna eat each other, could you do it elsewhere?
Big Brother!
What do we do, Big Brother?!
This is it.
This is it. The Honey Dragon's nest.
It's honey.
It's said to be so addicting, that even for dragons whose fangs are their life, it can forget itself and eat so much that it could get cavities.
It has high nutritional value, as well.
With this, hopefully Chris will feel better.
There's several years worth here.
Sorry, but for Chris's sake, I'll need you to share some with me.
Honey Dragon (Insect Beast) Capture Level - 28
Those poison needles...
If I'm stung by that, the poison will spread instantaneously and my body will break down.
As I should expect, it seems they won't share that honey too easily.
These movements, it's like they're programmed into them at a genetic level.
It would be nice if I could hold the poison in my body long enough to create antibodies, but...
I-Is this thing going uphill?!
Watch out, Komatsu!
That's not just a chestnut!
Chestnutmadillo (Kurimajiro) (Mammal Beast) Capture Level - 21
Behold, everyone.
Us, with these ingredients, are lining up and bringing them one after another, but...
Chris-san won't eat one gram of it.
Just eat one bite...
Look, this is a pretty good ingredient, isn't it?
Chris...
We've always shared food together.
Yet... Even you should understand that you won't last if you don't eat, Chris.
Why on earth did you suddenly...
It's me. Look closely, dammit.
Tonma?
Zonge! Just friggin' remember it already!
But what's with those clothes?
They look really good on you, Zonge-sama!
Did you lose on a game show or something?
Even a game show's punishment wouldn't go this far...
In role playing games, Dragons love to kidnap princesses, don't they?
So I'm cosplaying as a princess.
So where's your ingredient?
Miracle Drops?
Miracle Drop (Candy) Capture Level - Below 1
Oh, you've heard of 'em?
Whenever you shake one, the drop's flavor changes, see?
My, you're confident.
Ooh! He's looking at me!
Zonge-sama!
This thing just ate me!
It's me! The Gourmet King! Gimme my one billion!
Just what was meant to happen. It's a big win for you, Zonge-sama!
Can we move on?
Let us know how it goes.
To-To-To-To-To-Toriko-san!
I told you, the only thing we want to capture is the Grand Berry.
To-Toriko-san!
Toriko-san, over there!
We found them, the Grand Berries!
Grand Berries...
They really do look like dragons.
