Someone once said...
That there are chickens that catch grass and trees like a pole in a ring toss
and turn into deep-fried chicken nuggets.
Chickringtossets.
That there are giraffes whose tails go around and around like a lottery drum
and the spots on their bodies turn into sweet candies.
Lotteraffes.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet unknown tastes.
Heaven or Hell?!
Plunge into Gourmet Casino!
Yum!
Even though it's a long subway ride,
when I think about how we're getting close to that big entertainment spot, I get so lighthearted!
Entertainment spot, Toriko-san?
This train certainly doesn't look like it's headed to a fun place like that.
This is a train that runs 500 meters below the surface, Underground Train.
It's the one line that goes to central Jidar Kingdom.
Jidar Kingdom?
Coco went to Jidar Kingdom before us to train, you see.
So what kind of country is it?
Jidar is a country that's under international surveillance.
It's a region where Gourmet Crime runs rampant.
Even on this train, there are a lot of dishonest riders that would frighten you, Komatsu.
But why is the world's biggest gambling den in a country like that?
Because it's not affiliated with the IGO.
It's not...?
The most valuable things in the Gourmet Age are not money or jewels.
They're ingredients, right?
Yes,
and there are many unobtainable illegal ingredients that circulate in the Jidar Kingdom through black market channels.
That's because it's not bound by the laws established by the IGO, the Eight Gourmet Laws.
So it's a lawless zone?
Generally, they're all things like poison ingredients and narcotic ingredients,
things that would be treated as illegal.
I'm pretty sure I heard that they even have toxic Puffer Whales selling there normally, right?
But among them, there are high-class ingredients that are difficult to obtain via legal routes
that frequently circulate through illegal channels.
And one of those is our target for this trip,
the Meteor Garlic.
Meteor Garlic?
It's a mysterious garlic plant that is said to grow in ground where meteorites fell on rare occasions.
When it grows, it sucks up every bit of the nutrients in that ground,
so it's got some pretty damn good nutritional fortification.
It's supposed to give you enough power to not need to rest a whole month when you eat it.
It has restrictions under the Eight Gourmet Laws,
but what's more restricting is that it's so rare, you never get a chance to see one on the market.
So that's why we're going to the underworld...
Yeah. Apparently, it's displayed as a prize you can win at Gourmet Casino.
Nowadays, all ingredients that are difficult to get are said to gather in Jidar.
I suppose if they're not regulated by laws,
even a casino can openly display all kinds of ingredients as prizes.
So that's why it's called the greatest gourmet casino in the world...
That damn old man. So gambling is my training now?
Well, at any rate, this is my first time targeting an ingredient at a casino.
I'm... so hungry...
An express freight train!
Food?
Hey!
Hey, don't touch those.
These are Electric Bananas.
I'm Gourmet Mafia, but relax.
Here. I won't give you anything weird to eat.
We're here. So this is Jidar Kingdom, huh?
Oh, ho-ho.
Welcome, cool bro's.
I hope you enjoy the kingdom of crime, Jidar.
Ya here to sightsee?
Yer a pretty big guy, ain'cha?
I'll bet you eat some pretty good stuff.
Nice duds.
I know this is sudden, but could you strip down to your underwear and leave everything here for us?
Oh boy! Am I getting into a fight right now?!
Am I, Coco?
What are you so happy about?
It's so rare I get into fights with normal humans!
I guess that's true.
I suppose there are more people in countries not affiliated with the IGO that don't know Toriko-san.
Sheddep!
I don't know who the hell you guys are.
Um, I don't want to sound rude,
but you'd be better off not picking a fight with Toriko-san...
I told you to shut your traps!
You're such a pain in the ass, die!
Oh! I'm so scared!
Eat this!
He caught the bullet with his fingers?!
Who the hell is this guy?
I'm Bishokuya Toriko, remember it.
This town is fun, ain't it?!
I don't think I'll be bored here!
It just has poor public order, doesn't it?
Public order?
The natural world we're always out in is way more dangerous.
Yes, but the natural world has its own set of natural rules.
This country's also known as the "Food Crucible".
New and old, East to West, good and evil,
all ingredients are jumbled together here, stimulating people's appetites.
Irrationality among chaos...
A town where people's karma walk with swagger.
This is the black market.
Ooh! This place sure is busy!
U n d e r g r o u n d V e g e t a b l e s
The city's market is full of ingredients brought in through illegal channels.
Poison Seller
They're selling toxic Puffer Whales here!
Is this really all right?
They're delicious, man. You'll die if you eat one, though.
No! No thanks!
Would you like one, young man?
I'll give you a discount.
What are these?
Let's go, Komatsu.
They're cheap.
I'll come back later.
Young man! Young man!
Wait up, Toriko-san!
Those are nicknamed Poison Stars.
They're starfish designated as powerful drugs.
Apparently if you eat one, you're 100% sure to be poisoned.
Once in the past, Stars started appearing on a market
and completely destroyed a city with a population in the millions.
There are plenty of other things like that here, too.
These are Drug Snails.
In most countries, there are completely segregated creatures,
but just carrying a shell will get you arrested.
Electric Banana is a fruit where one bite will make electricity run throughout your whole body.
These are 2nd class narcotic ingredients, too.
So these are all dangerous ingredients, huh?
Yeah, and other illegal ingredients made from selectively bred endangered species.
There's no end to them.
Oh, these things!
These are Juicy Mushrooms.
An extremely valuable top-class ingredient.
Wanna buy some?
We'll need them for the casino anyhow.
I guess so.
A Juicy Mushroom please.
Why do we need ingredients for a casino?
There are some games where you bet ingredients.
So they're like gambling chips, huh?
That's...
Lots of the buildings here are modern hotels and things like that,
and the atmosphere of the people has changed a lot, too.
Big-name gourmets and VIPs that love gambling come here from all over the world to play.
Are we getting close to Gourmet Casino yet?
It's right in front of us.
Man, I'm so hungry!
Toriko-san?
Hey, Toriko-san...
This is Gourmet Casino!
Now then, shall we go play some games?
A casino at night...
What a splendorous city!
And it's so huge!
Of the million gourmet gambling establishments all over the world,
this place, Gourmet Casino, boasts the largest size and ability to attract customers.
For a casino that handles illegal ingredients,
it has an unthinkably huge scale.
100 trillion yen changes hands every day here.
It's truly a gambling kingdom.
100 trillion yen?!
100 trillion yen
Just how much is that?!
In the city, there are top-level 10-star hotels and restaurants lined up side by side.
Right now, this place is Jidar Kingdom's greatest draw for tourism.
Woah, you're right!
It's got different kinds of top-class restaurants that you don't even see much in Gourmet Town!
The poor public order gave such a bad impression,
but now Jidar Kingdom looks like a paradise!
That face you're making has gotta be illegal, Komatsu.
Thief!
Someone stop him!
My money!
I guess even in the city, the public order is bad.
Well it's a lawless area after all.
Of course there'd be a lot of crimes aimed against casino customers.
Do you think that robber is gonna get away
Or you think he'll be shot with a gun and that'll be the end of it?
Gun?
There's no chance he'll get away.
Let's bet on it.
Bet?
I'll go with "gets away".
And I'll go for the long shot, "gets shot".
Let's place the odds at 50-50. Whoever wins gets 1 million.
Don't shoot his brain. We can use it later.
Yes, sir.
Outta the way, you!
He's coming this way, Toriko-san!
Outta the way, bastards!
Wait!
Get outta my way!
Catch him!
Ow...
Do you intend to side with this criminal?
We had the same goal as you. We were just trying to catch him.
Take him away!
He's been captured alive? Now that's rare!
I suppose we both lose.
With it being in a large country with lots of crime,
the security is pretty unforgiving, isn't it?
There are times when the security goes too far,
but Gourmet Casino is not under the control of the Gourmet Gambling Commission, or GGC.
Ow...
What're you d-
The ones that are in charge here
are the Underground Cooking World.
Match-san!
It's been a while, Match!
Hey.
I see. Your hometown, Nerg City, isn't too far from here, huh?
It's nice to see you again, too, Shin-san, Louie-san.
You look like you're doing okay, Komatsu.
Yes!
I'm so happy to see you all again!
The Century Soup you made was a big hit with the kids in the villages.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I'll make more whenever you want, so be sure to come get some!
Toriko and Coco. So two of the Four Heavenly Kings have come here to gamble, huh?
Your target is a prize ingredient, I'd expect.
Of course.
It's you guys, after all. It's easy to guess you'd be going after a valuable ingredient.
The kind you couldn't get unless you got into the exclusive VIP area.
Exclusive VIP area?
Boss.
Ram? How's it looking?
As we thought, lots of dangerous ingredients are out on the market.
Yeah, I expected as much.
Boss...
Match-san, did Ram-san just call you "boss"?
It's true that Match-san was the number-two man before,
but now he's the boss.
The former boss, Ryuu-san, resigned.
Resigned?
That former boss of yours was a pretty well-renowned powerful person.
Wasn't he pretty highly active?
What brought this on all of a sudden?
I don't know.
All he told me was he had a "big job to do"
and he brought a few subordinates with him to Gourmet World.
Gourmet World?
Apparently he was invited by Saiseiya Yosaku.
But he didn't tell me any details about his goal.
What? By Saiseiya Yosaku?
Yeah.
Ryuu-san just said "I'm leaving my cute little Gourmet Mafia sons and Nerg City in your hands", and left.
I saw his back disappear from view, and that was it.
Well, anyhow I've taken Ryuu-san's place
and now I'm in a position where need to get firm control hold over Nerg City.
So what would a Mafia boss like you be doing coming to somewhere outside his territory like Jidar?
There are narcotic ingredients circulating in Nerg City.
Some illegal ingredients with high toxicity that we've never seen in Nerg City before.
The Underground Cooking World is...
an underground organization specializing in handling illegal ingredients that can't be served in normal shops.
They scatter illegal foods and narcotic ingredients like nothing we've ever seen before.
And the source of it all is none other than
this place, Gourmet Casino.
Gourmet Casino is managed by Jidar Kingdom's state management,
but the king entrusts the casino to the underground society.
In other words, the ones really pulling the strings here are the
Underground Cooking World, huh?
Yeah. And the mastermind behind it is...
the Boss of the Underground Cooking World, Livebearer.
A dark chef that currently acts as a dealer in the casino.
We came here to take those narcotic ingredients they're currently controlling.
We don't want to see little kids eating Electric Bananas!
Match-san...
We're not letting any more dirty poison flow into our city!
Match-san, then you came to Gourmet Casino to...
Impossible.
Coco-san!
With the power you currently have,
you don't stand a chance against that organization...
What?!
Heavenly King Coco, what makes you say that?
I am a fortune teller.
If you want to win,
it won't be by force, it can only be by gambling.
I know this city quite well.
And Livebearer's power as well.
Match-san, Shin-san, Louie-san,
how about we leave this part to Coco-san?
That's to get rid of the illegal ingredients as fast as possible, too.
Okay, Match-san?
Well, that sounds good.
Shall we do this together?
Toriko...
Our target ingredient is in the casino as well.
So when we win a crushing victory,
you can confiscate all of the illegal prize ingredients and and bring them home with you.
Kay?
Let's go together, Match-san.
Boss...
Well, I'm not a big fan of shit like gambling,
but if we can take it all legally, that would be the best way to do it.
All right!
Let's go! Let's go!
Then it's decided.
Past here is Gourmet Casino's general main area.
General main area?
It's nicknamed the Appetite Labyrinth.
Ah, there it is!
Amazing!
This is all part of the casino?!
Komatsu-kun, this is still just a section of it.
