Someone once said...
That there are pigs whose meat has a tender texture like that of a lobster,
Pogsters.
That there is a lion whose mane is like sweet Mont Blanc cake,
A Mont Blion.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
In order to obtain his training ingredient, the Mellow Cola,
Toriko and Komatsu headed off to Honey Prison to enlist the help of Zebra.
Komatsu was shaken after learning the reason for Zebra's imprisonment.
Toriko, after I eat these guys,
I'd like to wet my throat a bit.
So you're going? To drink the cola with us?
Riding on a Lift House which takes a month for a one-way trip,
Toriko and the others set off to Sand Garden, where Gourmet Pyramid is located.
Raise the Alert!
Zebra Lands at Sand Garden!
And now, for today's Zebra Forecast.
If we take a look at our Zebra prediction map,
Zebra is slowly progressing over Sand Cloud Valley
and appears to be heading in the direction of Sand Garden.
And now, the Zebra Forecast for each region.
The probabilities of Zebra appearing at each location are...
Sand Cloud Valley, 100%.
Sand Garden, 40%.
The surrounding areas have also forecast a 10% to 20% chance.
In one month, the probability of him appearing in Sand Garden will rise.
We ask that all people in the vicinity take the utmost caution.
And now, on to sports.
Carry-san, take it away.
It's been a madhouse ever since I got back from the Gourmet Carriage.
I have a heaping helping desire for a break.
Wait! Toriko got off at the Gate to Hades,
so that means he's with Zebra, doesn't it?!
I'm fuckin' bored.
Hey, Toriko, how about a fight?
I don' wanna. Just relax.
C'mon! For old time's sake!
What is it with you and meaningless fights?!
Fighting is what I'm about!
You think I give a damn about that?!
And just when we'd paid the rent for the expensive pension type.
How's that, Toriko?!
You just don't give up, dammit!
They're going to bill us a fortune for the repairs.
C'mon, gimme all you've got!
Zebra-san is such a handful.
Would you help me go get Zebra?
I refuse!
I think I understand why Coco-san and Sani-san turned us down.
Coco and Sani did what?
Eh? No, n-nothing!
H-He really has amazing Hell Ears.
All this moving around's got me hungry.
Get some food!
Okay!
So you really did eat those Execution Beasts, huh?
No wonder you leveled up so much.
You've gotten stronger yourself, haven't you?
I'd be happy to be able to duke it out with you on even ground.
Even after all I made, it's already nearly gone.
There ain't enough, kid.
R-Right!
We're down to this little already?
And we only left three days ago.
We've got nearly a month left.
Are our food supplies going to hold out?
You took the meat I had my eye on!
How the hell could I know that?!
Forget the food supplies, the Lift House itself might not hold out.
We'll reach Sand Garden pretty soon.
It looks like our food supplies are going to just barely hold out.
Same for the Lift House...
I'll pretend I didn't see that.
Heh. Sand Garden looks like a pretty interesting place.
I found this on a bookshelf. It's a sightseeing guidebook.
I knew there were some famous sightseeing attractions there already,
but it looks like there are a lot of different kinds of deserts.
Like one made of natural rice, Rice Desert.
Or the one made of sweet muscovado, Muscovado Desert.
And it looks like there are a lot of other edible deserts.
Yeah. But they aren't all Gourmet Deserts like Rice Desert and Muscovado Desert.
There are Resource Deserts like Coal Desert and Rare Earth Desert.
And there are Jewel Deserts like Gold Dust Desert and Diamond Desert.
They sometimes call Sand Garden the Sand Paradise.
And we're almost there.
I'm kinda getting excited.
Hey.
Kid.
Y-Yes?
You ain't gettin' cocky, are ya?
No, not at all. Not one iota.
All right.
Listen up, kid.
Lemme just tell you this before we get to the desert.
Think of me as an environment.
Eh? Environment?
Right. And if an organism can't get well adapted to me,
that organism goes extinct.
That's the law of nature.
Got that?
Yes.
Don't worry about it, Komatsu.
There's no need for you to adapt to Zebra.
Toriko! You're not adapting one damn bit!
Zebra-san is starkly different from Toriko and the other Four Heavenly Kings.
This man is a criminal, and a dangerous person.
Unless you adapt too, I'll beat the shit outta you!
I really can't help being nervous.
Was it really a good idea to bring Zebra-san along with us?
Looks like we made it.
To Sand Garden.
Well, somehow we made it here safely.
Looks like it was just in time.
Just as I'd expect, it sure is hot.
Yeah. It gets to a little over 60 degrees during the day, apparently.
So this is the sand kingdom, eh?
Ze-Zebra.
Hey, what're you lookin' at?
I'll beat the shit outta you, dammit.
P-Please spare my life!
Okay, I'll let you live,
but in exchange you've gotta gimme something to eat.
Show me to a good sand cooking place!
Hey, hey...
Toriko-san.
Is this whole thing with Zebra-san really going to be okay?
Hm? What do you mean?
Well, um...
Worried, are you?
Well, I guess he is a well-established criminal after all.
I can understand why you wouldn't be able to trust him.
It's not exactly trust, um...
Zebra-san has Hell Ears. He'll hear everything I say.
But...
What is it, Komatsu?
I... I think...
The crime Zebra-san committed
really is an extremely serious offense.
To be honest, I don't think releasing him was the right thing to do.
I haven't seen anything to suggest he feels remorseful about it.
So, I honestly don't think it's a good idea to travel with him.
It's over.
There's no way he wouldn't think I've gotten cocky now.
Komatsu, I think so, too.
You do, Toriko-san?
But for Gourmet Pyramid, we're really going to need his power.
This is a give-and-take relationship.
B-But...
And also, it's not like Zebra's existence has necessarily been nothing but a bad influence on this world.
But he brought 26 different species to extinction...
Hurry up and get me some some tasty sand cooking to eat, dammit!
Y-Yes, sir!
So hot...
Toriko-san, where exactly are we going?
Right now, I wanna get some equipment together for going into the desert.
This is a main street...
so you'd think there would be some street stalls lined up around, but...
Toriko-san!
Ice
It's a shaved ice stand!
Welcome, welcome!
Oh, this is Sand Ice, isn't it?
Ice made of sand?
Yeah. Sand Ice. It won't melt even under a blazing hot sun.
Two please, mister.
Thank you, sirs!
If it doesn't melt, then isn't it inedible?
Here you are.
Itadakimasu.
When they receive a stimulus, they melt.
Which means that if you bite them, they'll melt really quickly.
It's cool and delicious!
Itadakimasu.
You're right!
It's such a refreshingly sweet taste!
It's sweet and tasty like rock candy, isn't it?
Ah, brain freeze!
What a way to enjoy your food.
It's been a while since I've seen someone enjoy it so much.
It's nice to see that.
Hey, we need to get some equipment for travel,
but we can't find a single shop.
Yeah, there's been a sharp decline in tourists.
Everyone closed down their shops.
Ah, I shouldn't bring up such a gloomy story like that.
Come to think of it, I can get some level of equipment together for you.
Really?
Leave it to me!
Woah. It feels so authentic!
And... I've even gotten a lot cooler.
Turbans and mantles don't just shade you from the sun.
In the desert at night when the temperature goes down to nearly zero degrees,
they even function as insulation.
I even got these ready for you.
What's this?
That's called a Perot.
Now that you mention it, this is the same shape as those statues all over the town.
That's because Perots are food charms.
There's a legend that if you have one, you'll be able to make your way through the vast desert without getting lost.
You wanna take that, too, Komatsu?
Okay!
Hey, are you sure you don't need a gun or a katana?
Going into the desert without a weapon is extremely reckless.
Yeah, we won't need anything like that.
Anyhow, is there anything we can use for desert transportation?
Sorry, I couldn't get anything for you to ride on.
But if you go about five kilometers north from here, there's another town.
You may be able to find something there.
I see. Well, we'll try going there.
Thanks for everything.
We're in your debt.
Please be careful on your journey.
Okay!
Are you okay, Komatsu?
Y-Yes.
Um... What about Zebra-san?
Even if we leave him behind, he's sure to come.
Oh, there. Is that the place?
Toriko-san, look.
Rental Camels
Rental Camels, huh?
We're here to borrow some camels.
Well, these are the first customers I've had in quite a while.
Welcome, thank you for coming.
Which desert are you traveling to?
Well, there's scant few deserts I can recommend to you at the moment.
Is that so?
Yes.
What a lonely town.
Terrible, isn't it?
No...
This is what happened to the town
as a result of many years of war between countries.
There's been conflict?
Yes, exactly.
Because of that, tourism grounded to a halt.
The number of people who have used Lift Houses has dropped off considerably.
Ah, then...
Those were Lift Houses that hadn't been used for years.
How terrible. It's too much...
But it's all right now.
The conflict is over.
Thanks to him...
Hey, Toriko!
Don't go leaving me behind, dammit!
Zebra-san!
Well you wandered off somewhere on your own, didn't you?!
Did... Did you say Zebra?
Ah, it's okay, you don't need to be scared.
As long as you don't get cocky.
That man is Zebra-sama?!
Zebra-sama?
Zebra-sama is here?!
Zebra-sama!
It's our savior, Zebra-sama!
H-Hey. What the hell?!
What's going on?
Zebra saved this town.
Well, effectively.
Wh-What do you mean?
It was to prepare for Zebra.
When the warring countries heard about Zebra's release,
they ended the war in order to form counter-measures against him.
And all of the troops withdrew from the country.
In order to protect their countries from Zebra.
Many lives were taken because of the conflicts.
Every day was truly hell.
But I'm so glad it's really over.
It's all thanks to Zebra-sama.
Zebra-sama is our savior!
Hey! Get away from me! You're annoying!
You want me to beat the shit outta you?!
It-It's a biological weapon!
They used living things as weapons?!
That thing has attacked this village many times.
Even my son and grandson were...
As long as it's still alive, the future of this town is...
A remnant of war, huh?
Eight-Tailed Scorpion (Yamata no Sasori) (Crustacean Beast) Capture Level - 23
That's an Eight-Tailed Scorpion.
With the poison in its eight tails,
it can kill any living creature
throwing the ecosystem into disarray.
That thing's a designated isolated species.
It's a class-2 dangerous creature.
Lower life forms shouldn't get cocky.
Thank you.
By the way, Komatsu.
The 26 species that Zebra wiped out
were all dangerous creatures that threw ecosystems out of balance.
Dangerous... creatures...
So they kinda needed to be wiped out.
Zebra-sama!
You bastards!
You'd better make sure you adapt to me.
Zebra-san...

On today's Tinapan we'll be introducing to you the manager of Chef Komatsu's hotel,
Affiliated with the IGO - Hotel Gourmet General Manager
Hotel Gourmet, with some documentary footage.
The general manager's day starts early.
Even now, he's busily sweeping and cleaning up the entrance.
The general manager looks up at the sky...
Where have you gone, Chef Komatsu?
He checks accounting books...
Where have you gone, Chef Komatsu?
And while being yelled at by his superiors...
Where have you gone, Chef Komatsu!?
And when work has ended...
Where have you gone?!
Chef Komatsu...
He constantly awaits the return of Chef Komatsu.
Well you see, while Chef Komatsu is gone, we cannot serve Century Soup.
All we can do is trust in him and wait.
Even a penguin was brought to tears at the general manager's sincerity.
And the whereabouts of Chef Komatsu that the general manager is so concerned with
will be revealed in the next corner.
The great desert of death dyed in deep crimson.
In the scorching hot desert, Toriko and the others get drawn into a maze.
Komatsu Disappears!
The Demonic Desert Labyrinth!
Next time will be a heaping helping of fun, too!
