Someone once said...
That there are multicolored uirou that grow like kiwis.
( Uirou are a sweet, chewy traditional steamed cake made of rice flour and sugar that come in different colors and flavors. )
Kiwirous.
That there are fresh quail egg scallions.
Quaillions.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
A Super Extravagant Production!
The Ultimate Meal Service!
Itadakimasu!
This sure looks good.
Fresh hirami lemon flavored salmon.
Hiralmon.
Masala chai flavored pumpkins.
Pumpchai.
So damn good!
I put in lots of autumn flavors.
Ah, and there are plenty of autumn colors outside, too.
Ain't that Pochiko?
Ah, you're right.
A letter from Melk?
Let's see.
"Dear Toriko and Komatsu, are you doing well?
I have a favor to ask of the two of you so I've sent a letter.
I am currently making a kitchen knife for Chef Lulubhu of Guts,
and I'm worried I won't be able to find a certain ingredient needed for the finishing touches.
Unless it is sharpened on the shell from that ingredient, it cannot be completed.
If you have any information, would you kindly let me know?
I appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely, Melk."
This is...
a Diamond Figcrystal!
It's a giant fig crystal that only grows once every 10 years.
It sparkles like a diamond.
And they say that inside its hard shell is a fig boasting the utmost sweetness.
But you don't see these show up too often.
They're pretty rare ingredients.
Isn't there any way we could be of help?
That was quite a tasty looking report, wasn't it?
We now have a notification to issue.
The 50th Gourmet Service Competition.
Would you like to try to provide a beautiful meal with your own hands?
The winner of this commemorative competition
will be presented with a rare ingredient grown in an IGO garden,
the Diamond Figcrystal!
Talk about good timing!
There's a real air of excitement here, huh?
Toriko, Chef Komatsu!
Melk.
Melk-san!
Thank you for telling me about this competition.
So you're definitely gonna take that Diamond Figcrystal home with you, right?
We'll help out, too.
Is Pochiko not with you?
She's like that, as usual.
Animals sure are honest, aren't they?
I'm really no good.
The thing is, the kitchen knife I've been requested of this time
has never been completed by anyone besides Master.
Maybe if I complete it, Pochiko will acknowledge me as well.
Now then, everyone!
The historical and traditional Gourmet Service Competition
now begins!
I'm your master of ceremonies, Tina.
Gourmet Service.
The battle to see who can make their customers the happiest with their hospitality!
Please color up your meals with a splendorous production!
The rules are, as long as you use this Figcrystal,
any dish is permissible.
The championship prize is the incredibly big...
Diamond Figcrystal!
Now then, let me introduce to you all of our judges.
IGO Director General Uumed Umeda.
I'll be anticipating some service with iyanpact!
The man with the miraculous tongue, G7 Tasting Master Apollon-san!
Great to be~ here.
And the Gourmet Human National Treasure, Setsuno-sama!
Setsunon is fine! I'm looking forward to this!
The judges have a maximum of 100 points to award.
By pressing the buttons in front of them, they add points to the contestant's total!
And the earned points are displayed on these giant screens.
Now then, let's bring up our first contestant!
Entry number 1!
Gourmet Heavenly King Sani!
Sani!
Sani-san?!
Y-You guys are here, too?
Spectacular!
Wonderful! Elegant!
Artistic! Beautiful!
Carving, background music, and ingredients cut into this shape.
It's perfect harmony.
A performance of unbelievable beauty.
I've moved myself to tears!
Man, how much does that guy like himself?
Seriously...
Amazing iyanpact!
Wonde~rful.
I think we can expect some big points here!
5...
7...
2!
275 points!
Ooh! It seems Setsunon's points were a little lower than the rest.
I'd prefer if the hair of these statues were pompadours.
You get points for that?!
Go ahead and take the tentative first-place seat.
We started right off with a high score.
Will anyone be able to surpass this number?!
Well then, next contestant!
Next contestant...
Next contestant?
I've powered-up my RPG costume from last time.
It's in the bag!
What're you doing?!
What do you think you're doing?!
Hey, what? No!
H-H-Hey!
Stop it!
Quit interrupting my show, dammit!
No way!
We got a "No way!".
Now then, let's pull ourselves together and move on to the next contestant.
Entry number 2,
Hotel Gourmet's Chef Komatsu!
I've got to win it, for your sake, Melk-san!
Matsu, can you beat me?
I'll knead the Figcrystals in flour...
Ooh, it's getting bigger and bigger!
Now, the Melk Kitchen Knife!
Chef Komatsu...
The cut Figcrystals are looking like jewels!
Now, just what kind of pizza is he making?
I'm so excited!
Ooh, this is a fruit pie!
It's a Figcrystal Pie.
The sweetness of this fruit condenses at high temperatures
and wrapping it in dough makes it the most enjoyable.
Oh, so it's a pie?
What a beautiful pie!
It looks like it's filled with jewels! A pie jewel box!
Good going, Komatsu!
I knew you could do it, Chef Komatsu!
I think we can expect some big points here, too!
Will he surpass Sani?!
Huh?
195 points!
Surprisingly little!
Apollon-shi's is low. Why might this be?!
Ah~ I'm so~rry.
It was quite goo~d, but...
I had a pie as a sna~ck this afternoon.
Yes.
It may have been better to know what the people being served have eaten earlier, Chef Komatsu.
I was a 'lil nervous.
Now then, our next challenger.
The second generation Sharpener Melk!
Step right up!
In order to complete the kitchen knife,
I'm going to have to do something myself, it seems.
Melk?
That's right.
This person follows in the footsteps of the world's greatest sharpener, Melk the First,
Melk the Second!
What kind of service will we see?!
A Crystal Petty Knife.
The most suitable knife
to prevent damaging the fibers of the fruit.
Look!
With that tiny knife...!
It's magnificent. Beaut'ful.
Tiny cut pieces of Figcrystals and gelatin
put in carbonated water.
It seems to be like a fruit punch.
Fantastic!
So pretty!
Beautiful!
Isn't it?
Awesome!
It's like a mirror ball overflowing with fantasy!
A Figcrystal Punch!
Now, what will be the score?
285 points!
Th-This is a super heaping helping amazing!
That's the highest score in the history of the competition!
Go take your first-place seat!
You really did it, Melk-san!
That should settle it.
Knocking Master Jirou!
I smelled Diamond Figcrystal.
Drying this out would make a good snack to go with alcohol.
Isn't Jirou-chan incredible?!
Ooh!
Setsunon has already started to give him points!
I never thought an opponent like this would appear...
Entry number 4!
Knocking Master Jirou!
You add lots of this booze,
and then flame the whole thing.
Look!
It's a lion!
A lion!
It's a liquor that makes flames dance like lions.
Not a prancing liquor,
Lion Dance Liquor!
What is this?!
It's amazing!
This is amazing!
Beyond magical!
Please don't try this at home though, folks.
Just what I'd expect from Jirou-chan.
This looks like it's gonna get quite a few points!
What?! An incredible number has appeared!
295 points!
That easily makes it a new all-time record!
Knocking Master Jirou!
The current top!
Now, who could the next challenger possibly be?
Entry number 5,
Gourmet Heavenly King Toriko!
Looks like I've gotta pull off something now!
Oh, Toriko-kun, eh?
He's got my marble out there.
Is he gonna carve somethin', too?
Dunno.
By the way, you're gross.
Oh, really? You're kidding...
Ooh, awesome!
How about that?! Marble fireworks!
You can make marble sparkle like this?!
That Kugi Punch has some terrific power to it.
The broken particles violently clashing against each other is creating fireworks.
What an extravagant performance!
Could we have another new record here?!
C'mon, get up there!
Hey, didn't he not use the Figcrystal?
Disqualified
Disqualified?
I really screwed up.
Is there no hope?
And with that,
this year's Gourmet Service Competition's champion is Knocking-
What is that?
Hey, hey!
What?! Hold on,
Po-Po-Pochiko?!
Pochiko!
What do you think she's doing?
It's getting so excited its body is letting off a fantastic heat!
This is luminescence!
Luminescence?
It's a phenomenon where material takes in electromagnetic waves and heat as energy and reacts to it
and then releases that energy as light.
The heat from Pochiko's body, caused by her excitement from wanting the ingredient,
is reacting with the Diamond Figcrystal, making it release light.
Pochiko.
An iyanpact unlike any ever seen before.
Sublime!
It seems the ingredient has chosen Pochiko.
We have a perfect score!
The champion is Pochiko!
All right!
The champion, Pochiko, will now be presented with the Diamond Figcrystal.
Congratulations!
Could you be giving it to...?
Melk-san?
Are you sure?
Pochiko, thank you so much!
Toriko, Chef Komatsu, thank you for everything.
I'll take the shell of the Diamond Figcrystal.
Share the fruit with everyone, won't you?
Oh, thanks.
Thank you very much.
Bye, then.
Pochiko recognized Melk a long time ago, huh?
Yes. She was always watching over Melk-san.
Let's go enjoy the Diamond Figcrystal's fruit, Komatsu.
I'm r'lly looking forward to it.
Huh? You can't have any, Sani-san.
You lost, after all.
W-Wha? You lost, too!
Oh, right.
Yep!
