Someone once said...
That there are pouches of fluffy fried tofu filled with kelp soup stock
and wrapped in soft ito konnyaku,
( "Ito konnyaku" is a gelatin substance cut into noodle-like strips. Usually used for wrapping foods like oden. )
Sea Apouchones.
That there are pods, filled with freshly fried, fluffy, crisp peas growing inside...
Peadoughnuts.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
Toriko and the others had boarded the luxurious coach of dreams that tours the Gourmet Cities of the world,
Gourmet Carriage.
He had set his sights on Gourmet Pyramid to capture the Mellow Cola as part of his training.
But first, Toriko and Komatsu headed towards the Gourmet Prison, Honey Prison, to enlist the help of Zebra.
Hurry up and get here,
Toriko.
He Finally Appears!
The Last of the Four Heavenly Kings, Zebra!
We've gotta have enough now.
Right, Zebra?
Toriko-san, um...
For a while now, have you, um, been talking to yourself?
Huh? Yeah, he's my partner. A chef named Komatsu.
Hell no! Komatsu's not a present.
You wanna eat him or somethin'?
Who on earth are you talking with?
Can you see a ghost or something, Toriko-san?
I've definitely had chills ever since we went through the Gate to Hades.
This spooky atmosphere...
It feels like we've actually walked into the realm of the dead.
Oh, I can see it now, Komatsu.
So there is a ghost?
There're probably plenty of ghosts there, too.
That's the Gourmet Prison, Honey Prison.
That beehive-looking thing is a Gourmet Prison?
It looks a lot less intimidating than I thought it would.
Even the name, Honey Prison, has a cute ring to it.
It'd be nice if we were going into a dreamland like that.
Toriko-dono has arrived!
We've been awaiting your arrival,
Toriko-dono and Komatsu-dono.
I am the vice warden of Honey Prison, Ohban.
I've heard about everything from the warden.
I knew this place was scary!
It's not cute at all!
What gives? If you heard from old man Ichiryuu, couldn't you have just come to meet me back there?
Are you familiar with the seasons of this area?
In light of the danger, we cannot carelessly wander outside.
Now then, the warden awaits.
This whole time we've been walking on a road a guy like that says is dangerous...
That's really something spooky...
Without further ado, I'll guide you through Honey Prison.
Gourmet Prisons are establishments scattered about the world
that house criminals whom have broken the Eight Gourmet Laws laid down by the IGO.
But for incarcerating those whom have been convicted of committing the particularly heinous A-Class Food Crimes,
there are only three prisons the world over.
There is one established on land, one in the sea, and one in the air.
The World's Three Great Gourmet Prisons.
The first drifts 10,000 meters in the sky,
the airborne gaol, Sky Prison.
Tornadoes frequently form nearby
and hungry mystery birds inhabit the air around it
making escape impossible.
The second is sunken 2,000 meters into the deep sea,
the gaol in the sea, Prison Submarine.
Four hundred atmospheres of pressure bear down upon it
and monstrous, carnivorous fish swim around it in droves.
That place, as well, is outright inescapable.
And the final one is here.
The land gaol, Honey Prison.
The number of prisoners it can house is roughly just over 100 million.
It is undoubtedly the largest Gourmet Prison in the world.
At the end of the perilous road starting from the Gate to Hades,
hundreds of vicious criminals from all over the world are transported here daily.
A-rank Execution Beasts roam the road to keep guard.
Giant kilometer long drawbridges are placed in a total of 12 locations.
Only after a strict check of credentials like Gourmet ID is crossing them allowed.
Depending on the season, even the mighty Convoy Beasts are attacked by the Demon of the Forest.
D-Demon of the Forest?
If you're lucky, you may get a glimpse of it.
Or perhaps I should say if you're unlucky.
Now then, we've arrived.
This is the reception area of Honey Prison.
You guys sure have a lot of different kinds of Execution Beasts.
They've all been tamed by Warden Love.
Typically, it's here that prisoners lose their fighting spirit and accept their fate.
I'll bet.
And a warden that can tame all these beasts really must be something.
I'm looking forward to meeting him.
Chupaly, have there been any changes?
No, vice warden.
Though it seems about 20 prisoners have been attacked.
He's getting violent again, huh?
Getting violent? Who?
It might be...
It's all right. He's calmed down a bit so he's in a better mood.
Geez, that Zebra.
Zebra-san was getting violent?
It's a frequent occurrence.
Is the warden in the office?
Yes.
It's actually the warden who's in a bad mood.
Understood.
Even now, the warden is completely opposed to Zebra's release.
Warden Love is quite angry.
It's terrifying. Do be careful.
Your face is terrifying, too.
But for all of these scary people to be afraid of the warden...
Just what kind of person is he?
And Zebra-san...
Toriko-san!
Convoy Beasts!
Are you guys after Zebra's present?
You'd better knock it off.
Or else you guys'll end up eaten by Zebra instead.
Menu?
Here we have one of the many Punishment Full Course Menus prepared.
Punishment Full Courses?
Inside here is Menu IV.
This is a Punishment Full Course prepared for heinous criminals that publicly lusted insatiably after food.
It's known as the Stolen Food Full Course.
Stolen Food?
In the Gourmet Age, the greatest pleasure one can have is from eating.
Therefore the greatest punishment is to have their food taken.
Thus it is called Stolen Food.
Would you like to take a quick look?
It's on our way anyhow.
What the hell! This cake ain't sweet at all!
What's up with the food here?
Ah, I recognize him.
A first-class Gourmet Crook who skipped out on a over 2 trillion yen in bills from high class restaurants.
He's nicknamed Eat-and-Run Norisuke. A famous grifter.
He's targeted my restaurant in the past, too.
Because of his enormous sweet tooth,
for the hors d'oeuvres of his Stolen Food Full Course he has had his ability to taste sweetness removed.
Lemme eat something sweet!
The pain of having your favorite thing taken away from you, huh?
This sure is a Gourmet Prison.
Oh man. Oh man. Oh man.
He is Rikk. A serious criminal convicted of raising, smuggling, and using Drug Snails.
Just one of them is said to destroy an entire country.
The pleasure receptors in his brain have been removed
so he will eternally suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
Also in here is the leader of Gourmet Mountain Bandits, Baidan.
He's a heinous criminal who has, at this point, killed 20 Bishokuya and stolen their food supplies.
Let me eat!
And the head of the gourmet ingredient poaching group, Joymar.
He's a serious criminal who has over-hunted as much as 1600 creatures of 17 species of protected species.
It's my favorite. I'm beggin' ya!
All of them have had their favorite things taken from them,
but this is only the hors d'oeuvre of the full course.
The prisoners with more serious crimes will continue on to the soup floor
where they're left no choice but to eat poison ingredients if they wish to survive.
On the next menu item of the course, the fish dish floor, they are not given a meal.
On the meat dish floor, they are cut off from water as well.
And the prisoners that manage to survive that
finally reach the floor where they are cooked themselves.
Cut, boiled, fried...
and finally dropped outside Honey Prison
where certain death awaits them.
This is the Gourmet Prison, Honey Prison.
Truly a full course of death, huh?
An eye for an eye. We live in a terrifying age.
Right this way, please.
It's my job to provide food for people.
I thought people would always be able to eat delicious meals.
This place is the exact opposite.
A place to take food from people.
In the dazzlingly bright Gourmet Age, this is what you'd call a dark spot.
We're here.
This is the warden's office.
It's huge!
Is the warden a giant like Melk the First?
Warden, I've brought them.
Don't lump me into the same category as Melk the First.
How rude.
A kid?!
My name is Love.
Warden of Honey Prison.
And I'm not a kid!
How rude. Look closely!
Whichever angle I look from, um...
All I see is a young child...
What do you think, Toriko-san?
Wh-What a beauty!
Where'd that come from?!
Warden...
Toriko-san? Uh... Where is there a beauty?
Komatsu, look reaaal close at Warden Love.
The two of you are Toriko-chan and Komatsu-chan, right?
Welcome to Honey Prison.
What a beauty!
That sure was simple. But...
Warden, perhaps that's enough...
But I'm not into guys like you.
Huh? I'm sure that just now...
An illusion? No, it's not that kind of simple hypnotism.
It attacked the instincts directly. Like a command.
It's like I was given order to love her.
Could this be the work of pheromones?
I knew you'd figure it out, Toriko-chan.
It's true, I can freely control pheromones.
Pheromones?
A substance secreted by animals from their bodies
that affect the actions and physiological phenomena of other individuals.
What I just released at the two of you were sex pheromones.
That pheromone is secreted in order to attract the opposite sex.
The warden is able to use several hundred different types of pheromones.
Like a queen bee, she issues orders to the staff and wild beasts to run Honey Prison.
So even those powerful Execution Beasts could be controlled by pheromones?
In humans, pheromones are said to be sensed by the vomeronasal organ in the nose.
That connects to the brain's hypothalamus. In other words, directly to the instincts.
They enter without taste or smell.
Pheromones are something that cannot be blocked by anyone.
So you're saying that you can make any living thing do whatever you want?
There's one child I can't control!
Just one that won't obey, even in the slightest!
Uh, that person... Don't tell me...
Zebra-chan!
The perfect strike to my tastes!
The down-the-line fastball, Zebra-chan!
The reason the warden opposes Zebra's release is...
Well, frankly... She wants her beloved Zebra near her at all times.
What kinda reason is that?!
What's wrong with that?!
Can't an old lady like me be in love?!
Uh, how old is she?
I get it. It's the president's orders, so there's nothing I can do.
The crimes Zebra-chan committed are heavy,
but he discovered even more of ingredients than even Toriko-chan has so far.
He's a truly accomplished Bishokuya.
Well, most of them were unofficial though.
Ore Armor Fang Pig (Kougai Kibabuta) (Mammal Beast) Capture Level 45 B-Rank Execution Beast
That is a B-Rank Execution Beast, the Ore Armor Fang Pig.
Then this place is...
The execution grounds.
The main dish floor of the Punishment Full Courses.
All prisoners with the harshest sentences are led directly here, past the other floors.
In other words, all of the prisoners here have death sentences.
Besides them, we also have dangerous wild beasts and isolated creatures that are being held here temporarily.
A little while ago there was a small weird looking bird-man sorta thing thrown in here.
That was quite ferocious.
Though it was probably still a child.
By the way, Zebra-chan is on this floor, too.
Zebra-san... um...
Just what did he do, exactly?
He ate too much food.
Huh? He ate too much? And he got a death sentence for that?
Yes. Now come this way.
This problem child... is really just a glutton?
So why did he get a death sentence?
Is ol' Zebra in a special solitary confinement cell?
No, he's at one of the execution grounds.
Is he being executed?
Yes. Ever since he came here,
he has constantly been having his execution performed onto him.
Seriously?
Might that have been his idea?
You know him well.
Getting executed is perfect for Zebra-chan.
C'mon, this is Zebra-chan's room.
Zebra!
Zebra-chan!
Looks like we're finally saying goodbye!
Warden...
We came to get you.
That man is... Zebra-san.
Hey, Zeb...
Oh yeah. He hasn't said a word since we got here.
Could he be... recharging?
Uh-oh!
Growsaurus (Mammal Beast) Capture Level 57 A-Rank Execution Beast
The A-Rank Execution Beast, the Growsaurus has started moving.
It's going to pull the chain, get away!
Huh? What?
In these execution grounds, Zebra has both arms and legs
attached to one execution beast each by a chain.
If all four execution beasts pull at the same time
his body will not come out unscathed.
Zebra!
Love you!
It looks like my playtime with you guys...
ends today, too.
So long.
This is bad.
Cover your ears, Komatsu!
Hurry, cover your ears right now!
Here it comes!
What is this?!
Hey, Zebra! Are you trying to destroy us, too?!
How was that, Toriko?
Did my voice wake you up?
You've got an idiotic peaceful look on your face...
It looks like the world was pretty boring without me.
I'm your newscaster, Tina.
