Someone once said...
That there is a lizard whose head turns into a fruity and extremely sugary top-grade tomato.
A Tomatizard.
That there is a giraffe whose neck turns into a long, gigantic spring roll with a crunchy and fragrant wrapper.
A Spring Girolfe.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
Toriko Plunges in!
The Truth of Gourmet World!
Okay, this'll do the trick.
What do you think about this rock?
It'll be perfect to test my strength on, don'cha think?
What's with the size?!
It's pretty hard to find iron ore this big, ya know.
I've got nothing bad to say about its hardness or durability.
My cells have evolved even further with the Ozone Herb.
This is a perfect way to measure that power.
13... 14...
( Jyuu Go Ren Kugi Punch = 15-Hit Nail Punch )
Go!
All right!
Heh. How 'bout that, Komatsu? Terry?
B-Beyond amazing!
Okay, let's get some grub.
I give thanks to all of the ingredients in this world.
Itadakimasu.
Yum!
A great light meat, like chicken.
And when prepared this way, it overflows with juicy, sweet fat.
The skin is crunchy and fragrant like Peking duck.
It sure is great, huh, Toriko-san?
Ah, what would go great with this meat is this fava bean I picked before
that turns into a miso ball.
Just a dash of it, and...
Whoah! A miso glaze!
Looks good!
This is great.
With the added miso flavor, the taste is much deeper.
The fragrant smell of the Misofava Bean is spreading throughout my mouth.
Pretty good, Komatsu.
Thank you very much.
Okay, let's keep loading more on the grill!
Okay, Toriko-san.
I'm about to enter Gourmet World.
If you all feel like doing so, too,
get stronger and come after me!
I think it's still a little early for Komatsu and Terry.
Gourmet World...
At the stage I am now, just how far could I get?
I wanna know.
I just wanna know.
Mm, delicious!
Kuriuni's pasta is the best!
And such good ambiance.
The town of unending rain, Raintown.
This preserved level of humidity really brings out the rich and mild tastes.
The faint jazz flowing throughout the restaurant together with the sound of the rain outside
combined with antique interior design
and the indescribable calm and subdued atmosphere it produces...
In other words, it has harmony.
So, do you understand?
Toriko. Harmony! Friggin' harmony!
Seconds, please!
Keep 'em comin'!
You're not listenin' at all!
Your manner of eating is unbeaut'ful as ever.
Geez. And I even took a break from my training to come out here.
Nevermind that, Sani.
Right, that matter you wanted to discuss.
So, are you serious?
You want to enter Gourmet World?
Chef Komatsu sure has been ridiculously focused lately.
Yeah. I heard he formed a combo with that Bishokuya Toriko guy.
He made the Century Soup after all. He really is amazing.
Chef Komatsu.
There's someone here to see you.
O-Okay.
I wonder who it is.
Komatsu-ku... I finally got a hold of you!
T-Tina-san?!
Something really amazing happened, I heard!
I heard, Komatsu-kun.
So you formed a combo with Toriko?
Congratulations!
Ah, yes. Thank you very much.
Hey, let me hear the whole story!
It'll be an exclusive interview.
What was the impetus?
Well, uh...
Did you ask him as a chef?
What dreams do the two of you have?
Um, well, I don't know about doing an interview.
But my immediate goal is...
to get stronger and someday go to Gourmet World with Toriko-san.
G-Gourmet World?!
Yes.
Gourmet World? Are you serious?
That's a super heaping helping dangerous a place!
Don't you know?
About that famous press conference from long ago?
The interview of the truth of Gourmet World.
Long ago, Gourmet World was called a paradise of food.
But a certain journalist overturned that theory.
That person's name was Hatch.
Gourmet World is no utopia.
It's nothing but a hell.
The stormy Gourmet Seas...
and the stormy skies...
that nonsensical weather,
was incomprehensible even to a qualified meteorologist with expertise in ocean navigation like me.
But worst of all...
were the brutal wild beasts that lived there.
Most likely, regardless of what weapons we used,
we wouldn't have stood a chance against them.
H-How did you make it back?
I had really good luck.
By coincidence... No, by a miracle, I was able to make it out with my life.
To support the authenticity of that testimony
was the fact that he himself was a former first-class Bishokuya
and that up until that point there hadn't been a single person
who had ever came back from Gourmet World.
It was a place with a heaven-like heaping helping of attraction,
so people had thought to settle there...
but they all died, so they could never make it back.
Ever since that press conference
the perception of the Gourmet World took an about face.
Soon after, the IGO set up barriers in various places,
sealing off Gourmet World from Human World.
And the entire Gourmet World was marked as a danger zone.
Even now, Gourmet World is a treasure trove of new ingredients,
it is also the entrance to a hell one never escapes from.
Yes. I knew, of course.
That it was a fearsome place.
But if I'm with Toriko-san, I'll be all right.
I'm sure.
Sani, you've gone in already, right?
To Gourmet World?
You were after a Gourmet World ingredient, right?
Earth. Acacia's dessert.
Earth?
Yeah.
You idiot!
How many damn times did I tell you that with you current power
it's still too early to enter Gourmet World!
Geez. If I didn't come save you, you'd be dead right now!
I ain't dead.
And I...
had something I wouldn't be satisfied about unless I found out for myself.
Yeah, I went in. It wasn't as big a deal as I'd thought, Gourmet World.
I knew it. So, which way'd you go in by?
Tell me where!
Toriko. You're the same as me.
Even if somebody like me tried to stop you,
you wouldn't just accept it and move on.
Doing such a thing would be unbeaut'ful.
Toriko. There are three routes you can use to enter Gourmet World by land.
From Zabel Island, the Waterfall Basin of Life.
From Yutou Island, the Harbor of Evil Spirits.
And from the Wak Continent, the Sanzu Road.
( Sanzu Road is a reference to Sanzu River, or the River of Three Crossings one must cross to enter the afterlife in Buddhism. )
Among those is the one with the fewest obstacles,
and the way said to be the easiest route to Gourmet World.
That is from Zabel Island, the Waterfall Basin of Life.
The Waterfall Basin of Life, huh? Thanks, Sani.
You intend to go alone?
Of course. I can't bring Komatsu or Terry with me yet.
This is just a test of my own strength.
By the way, please try to keep this a secret from the old man, okay?
See ya.
Hey, Toriko!
Ah, right. The food here was delicious.
Gochisousama deshita.
You're making me pay?!
You're the one who called me!
Geez.
Alone? Don't be reckless, Toriko.
Zabel Island. The Waterfall Basin of Life.
Here I come, Gourmet World.
Gourmet World...
Chef Komatsu.
And acquaintance of yours is here to see you.
Ah, okay.
I sure have a lot of guests today.
We're getting a lot of skilled folks as of late.
But I'd never have guessed we'd be getting Bishokuya Toriko today.
Sorry. But thanks for letting me through without making it a big deal.
No trouble.
I have no reason to be hindering the world of a Bishokuya.
And among the many routes into Gourmet World,
one might say it's wise to choose here.
At any rate, it's the vast Gourmet World that takes up about 70% of the Earth's surface.
Because of its abnormal weather and unique magnetic field,
images can't even be taken from satellites.
You won't get any information about Gourmet World unless you actually see for yourself.
But entering by sea or air are impossible to begin with.
Above boundary with Human World is the ocean current of death, Poison Tide.
And in the skies far up above the boundary line,
giant cyclones form a wall.
Of the three routes that leaves,
this place, Zabel Island, could be called the safest.
Although that is strictly just compared to the others.
At this area between Gourmet World and Human World,
there is a large drop in sea level.
With that there, wild beasts from Gourmet World rarely climb up to Human World.
That said, there are incredibly few wild beasts curious enough to come from Gourmet World into our Human World.
Do you know why that is?
Toriko-sama?
Because the food in Gourmet World tastes better, right?
I can't think of any other reason.
I've heard that even in a world where the strong eat the weak,
even beasts chased out of their natural habitat
will rarely venture into Human World.
But the number of humans who come this way is unending.
Even knowing that Gourmet World is an entrance to Hell,
hundreds of challengers swoop down into Gourmet World just from here, the 18th Barrier.
And almost none come back.
It's almost as though everyone dives down there in order to lose their lives.
That is why this is called the "Waterfall Basin of Life".
Even so, I'll still dive.
And my reason is simple.
Although I may be risking my life in Gourmet World,
there are tons of ingredients there...
that I want to reach out to and grab!
But I ain't gonna die!
Toriko-sama!
Surveillance Chief!
There is a new famous person saying they would like to enter Gourmet World.
What?
I'm finally going to Gourmet World.
Now I'll test my power.
Wh-What?!
Breath Dragon (Type Unknown) Capture Level - Immeasurable
It-It won't... reach...?
Like hell this's gonna... beat... me...
No problem, Gourmet World!
I'll take on anything you've got!
Just how many meters did I fall?
Is there seriously a place you can fall at 200 kilometers per hour for minutes?
Where the hell am...
My body won't move.
Wh-What the hell? My body's heavy.
I'm your newscaster, Tina.
Today we have Kuriuni's Pasta.
I sure would like to eat at a stylish European style shop like that.
It's gotta be Euro-psty-le for pasta.
Now that we've filled that gap with a cold gag...
You seem troubled, signora.
I've been waiting for that voice!
Bongiorno!
It's the Kitchen Fantasista, Tacchino Kawagoe!
His appearances are kinda getting flashier!
Si. Today you'll be able to enjoy
a flavor like Kuriuni's pasta.
We'll be introducing a fantastic and simple recipe.
Please do.
First, fry some bacon in a frying pan.
Then add chicken soup and fresh cream.
After which, you put that together with some boiled noodles and turn off the fire.
Add an egg yolk, a few drops of soy sauce, and some parmesan cheese
and mix well.
And finally, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pudding. And there you have a...
Tacchino fantasy!

A heaping helping buono!
Next it can be a help to you signoras at your home kitchen.
This is the best!
O-On to the next item of news.
Gourmet World.
It roars at Toriko who is driven to desperation!
Overflowing dandyism,
this is the true worth of Knocking.

Next week will be a heaping helping of fun, too!
