Someone once said...
That there are black kites with wings of udon that have a springy and smooth texture,
Black Kitdons.
That there are sweet, melty-textured, pudding flavored bell peppers,
Bell Peppuddings.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet unknown tastes.
Toriko has undertaken a request from the IGO President to capture seven training ingredients.
So far he has captured the Ozone Herb growing in Vegetable Sky;
the phantasmal whetstone located in Heavy Hole, the Melk Stardust;
and the Mellow Cola located in Gourmet Pyramid.
Toriko's journey to capture the remaining four training ingredients now continues.
Glistening of a Crystal!
Shining Gourami!
Geez, I should try calling him.
Toriko-san is really late...
Mm. Tsuchinoko Shrimp topped with Hamfish...
( Tsuchinoko are a kind of mythical snake monster )
Such a delicious combination...
I'm tearing up already!
You're... not listening at all, are you?
The sea breeze in the prime of summer
combined with the pleasant saltiness of Hamfish...
Its simple yet tender consistency
goes perfectly with Tsuchinoko Shrimp.
Harmony, right? Harmony of taste?
Matsu!
Harmony isn't just about taste, you know.
Ponkochi!
Could you raise the volume a little bit more?
Oh yeah, gotcha!
Anyhow, how's this?
Any and everything replacing the plates?
What we got flowin' now is a merry samba.
Now let's get this playin'. Get ready and listen close for a bossa nova.
Good one, Ponkochi! You incredible!
Um, Sani-san...
Who is that man?
He's a freelance Gourmet Planner, Ponkochi.
For any kind of meal, there's always exists a kind of music that matches that taste.
He's a Gourmet DJ that provides sound to go with ingredients.
Gourmet DJ?
He's a professional that creates beautiful sessions of food and sound.
Though he takes a hefty fee of 2 million per hour,
he still gets reservations backed up months in advance.
2 million per hour?!
Such harmony...
Get it, Matsu?
Harmony with just the taste isn't enough!
The restaurant's interior design, utensils, air temperature and humidity as well as background music...
Only when all of them are in harmony can you call it a perfect meal!
But...
Most people can't afford the costs it takes to have music throughout their meals.
Wha- Yo- Matsu!
Yes?
If you're a chef, you've gotta be particular about those things!
Geez...
So, how'd it go?
Gourmet Pyramid?
Ah, right.
Well first, Desert Labyrinth was an amazing place on its own.
The sand, the sand was all SHWAA...
And the quicksand, in the quicksand I was all shaky and shivery...

We can't help but have a connection.

I won't say it out loud,
So with all that, it was a pretty rigorous journey,
shinjiteru ze kono yarou!!
信じてるぜ コノ野郎!!
but I trust you, ya bastard.
but in the end, thanks to Zebra-san, we got our hands on the Mellow Cola.
mata atarashii umai mon ga
また、新しい美味しいモンが
Now another new delicious thing
And we got to drink some delicious cola.
Zebra? I can't believe it...
ima oretachi wo yonda
今 オレたちを呼んだ
is calling us.
There's no limit to that guy's vulgarity... How could that be?
Well, he did pick fights with Toriko-san a lot.
He's quick to get angry and tell people not to get cocky...
So there were some difficulties, but...
Yer journeys are always full of hardship, ain't they?
Well, hardship...
Maybe just a little.
Toriko-san seriously is late.
Somebody like Toriko...
To have a combo with someone so unrefined and is always doing whatever he wants like that,
it's honestly gotta be quite a chore, right?
Well, nothing like that.
He can never even think of the 'h' in harmony, that guy.
He's gotta be a bad influence on your growth, too. No doubt.
Do you think so?
Hey, Matsu.
For this one, would you team up with me in a co...
Sorry I took so long.
A talking cow!
Yo!
Toriko-san!
Don't scare me like that!
Ah, sorry, sorry.
Hey, you!
You're the one who called us out here!
I found this Cowss on the way here.
He-yup!
An ass! An ass cow!
Hey, can you cook this up?
Um...
You want some, Sani?
No! I want absolutely nothing to do with it.
Oh, that's Tsuchinoko Shrimp, ain't it?!
Lemme have somma those, too!
And also some Thunder Beer.
Yes, coming right up.
Yo, Ponkochi!
Yo, yo, it's been a while yo, yo, Toriko!
For meeting you, this tune's the way to go!
1, 2, Knife!
Sorry, but...
I came here today because I've got something I need to talk to Sani about.
Could you stop the music for a bit?
Could ya?
Yo...
Yo... Yo...
Man, this feels like electricity is running through my body!
Thunder Beer rocks!
Another one, please!
Yes sir, right away.
Yo, yo, I've got nothin' to do, yo.
Itadakimasu!
This Cowss is so good!
Hey, Sani, do you really not want any?
This Cowss is really tasty.
I flatly decline.
So, what did you call us here for?
Well, it's gonna be an ingredient request, right?
So what sorta ingredient is it?
Yeah, it's a request from old man Ichiryuu.
A training ingredient.
Training ingredient?
No way. Do that on your own. They're a pain in the ass.
Toriko-san, what's the ingredient?
The Shining Gourami.
Wha?!
Shining Gourami...
The fish that's beaut'ful and transparent like a crystal and sparkles in the light?
Also known as the Crystal Fish?
Why're you the only one that gets beaut'ful prey like that! Hey!
Hell if I know. Ask the old man.
Um...
Is it such a difficult ingredient to get that you need to ask Sani-san for help?
Yeah. The problem is its habitat.
One of the world's Three Great Waterfalls, the Death Falls.
They say the Shining Gourami lives in the caves inside that giant waterfall.
The Death Falls are nicknamed the Waterfall of Execution.
1 trillion liters of water flow down them every second.
1 trillion liters?!
That's so outlandish I can't even imagine how much it is!
If I remember right, that waterfall is 1 kilometer thick, correct?
So for example, no matter how many cannonballs you shoot at it...
Bang! Bang!
They would never make it through.
The waterfall of death that execute anything that gets close with a guillotine of water.
Yeah.
The huge bullets of water of the Death Falls will crush anything into smithereens.
Never allowing in a single intruder.
It's a gross environment that isn't even outdone by Gourmet World.
So of course, the old man likes it.
What do you think, Sani?
It would be a good place to test the fruits of your training, wouldn't it?
Well, I must admit I have an interest in the Shining Gourami.
And also...
It might be the perfect place to bathe my new family member from Gourmet World.
To-Toriko-san!
Is this thing...?
Is this thing... possibly a...
Mother Snake.
Her name is Quin.
She's a new member of my family. I hope you get along.
So she's your partner, Sani-san?
This is my first time seeing a Mother Snake.
Is this one still a kid?
Yeah.
Something this huge is a kid?!
They call Mother Snakes the mothers of all snakes.
They're legendary serpents said to reach the length of the circumference of the world at most.
The circumference of the world?!
Just how many meters is that?
There's seriously a snake like that?!
Well, let's get going, shall we? To the Death Falls?
I'll give you special permission to ride on Quin there this time.
Hurry, get on.
Sani, we owe ya one!
Get on?
Hey, hold on a second.
Ah, you guys! No shoes allowed!
Woah, amazing! The scales are...
You can use those in place of seats.
Okay.
Okay, let's go, Quin!
This's awesome!
Super-Super huge snake!
That heavy-class snake is makin' me quake, yo!
Oh, what a big catch!
Hold on tight, Matsu!
It's going too fast!
They say it's lucky to ride on top of a Mother Snake's head!
Lucky?!
These guys are a rare species that mostly just live in Gourmet World.
That's because of their overwhelmingly large size.
Even when the rare witness of one in the Human World occurs,
they're all of one's torso.
So seeing the head or tail of one is proof of having good luck.
Get it? So on top of seeing a face, to be actually riding on one's head would be ridiculously lucky, don'cha think?
I don't think it's the time to be talking about good luck at this point!
Toriko, you're a little off.
Even in Gourmet World, only the toughest beasts ever catch a glimpse of a Mother Snake's face.
Do you know why that is?
It's not that none of them see it,
it's that any one that does gets eaten.
What?!
Mother Snakes are one of the strongest beasts in Gourmet World.
Though Quin's just a kid, so she doesn't have that kind of power yet.
Beaut'ful isn't it?
They never shows their faces to common bumpkins.
They have this overflowing dignity and pride.
It's supreme beauty!
Sani-san!
We got an up close and direct look at Quin-chan's face, so...
You don't think we'll get eaten by her afterwards or anything, right?
Well, don't ask me, I dunno.
You dunno? What?!
Matsu, if theoretically you formed a combo with me,
you'd never get eaten in your whole life, would you?
Nothing, forget it!
Quin, slip through that forest!
I told you we were going too fast!
She just ate something!
They say that frogs that get glared at by snakes become unable to move,
but with Mother Snakes, it'd be more correct to say they get eaten.
It's certainly some incredible speed.
We're going at 400 kilometers per hour, ain't we?
400 kilometers per hour?!
That's faster than a Gourmet Bullet Train, isn't it?!
Snakes entire bodies are basically just a mass of muscles, so they can move in any way they want.
Kinda like a bullet train that can change its course whenever it wants.
They've got great mobility!
Quin is still a kid.
This is all the speed she can muster.
"This is all"...?
They say adult Mother Snakes can move at speeds comparable to shooting stars.
Faster than this?!
Enough that some Bishokuya make wishes on them that come true if they see them.
I knew these things were lucky!
They may indeed be lucky...
Ah, super-lucky!
Those are Mirror Litchi! You barely ever see those!
Quin!
Without even thinking, I got pumped up and feverish from their shine!
So beaut'ful!
The inside have a dance of flashy sweetness that lives up to the outward appearance!
Good! So good!
Hey, hey! Give me some, too!
No. You want some? Get your own.
That's Baby Beef, the meat with a flavor like yakiniku!
All right!
W-Woah!
This can't be happening!
Toriko-san!
Please give me a break...
Hey, that was Sani's fault for suddenly making this snake change direction.
I found some Collagen Mushrooms, filled with collagen that's good for the skin.
I had to go get them.
Ya know, I'm kinda at my limit here.
No, stop!
We're here.
The Mors Mountain Range.
With an elevation of over 15,000 meters,
it's a mountain range boasting the 5th tallest peaks in Human World.
At the foot of these mountains
are the Death Falls that house the Shining Gourami!
