Someone once said...
That there are koi whose individual scales can be made into casino coins.
Their meat is delicious and you can use the scales left over to play with,
Koins.
That there are watermelons that, when cut with a knife,
show large seeds in the pattern of a die,
Diermelons.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
The age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
Seeking the President's training ingredient, the Meteor Garlic,
Toriko and the others have started a game of food concentration called Gourmet Tasting with Livebearer.
And astoundingly, the stakes are their memories of food.
Toriko-san, they might all disappear!
Our memories... All of our tasty memories!
The past doesn't really matter, does it?
The only thing I'm looking at is the future.
Always.
I'm going to go through the rules quite quickly.
A player flips over two cards.
The one who has hit a pair has to eat the same ingredient as the one shown on the cards.
If they finish eating it completely, the points written on the cards go to the eater.
You match cards, eat all the food,
and the one who has more points at the end wins, right?
Toriko and the others hit ingredients one after another and finished eating them all.
When Toriko and the others, who went first, finished their second turn
they had a total of 310 points.
Livebearer
Intestine Worm
Human-Faced King Trumpet Mushroom
Melon Egg
And Livebearer had 220 points.
The game was white hot and neither team is giving an inch.
You can be sure I'm going to steal it, the golden contents of that brain.
It's my turn, isn't it?
The real battle begins here.
Coco's Strategy!
The Big-Miss Cards That Determine the Outcome!
Now, if Livebearer-sama can finish eating the Rockmadillo that he hit, he'll earn 70 points!
But his opponent is a wild beast with a formidable Capture Level of 60!
It's gonna be pretty tough!
If he can't finish it, the 70 points will go to our side, right?
He's strong!
Livebearer-sama brilliantly eats the Rockmadillo completely!
Rockmadillo
And he receives 70 points!

Number 9 and number 50.
Another hit!
The 150-point Sanzu River Venomous Lizard!
A poisonous special preparation ingredient!
Okay!
Okay, okay... Okay...
The Rockmadillo and then the Sanzu River Venomous Lizard!
He has also performed the difficult cooking for the Sanzu River Venomous Lizard and eaten it completely.

And he receives 150 points!
And now a big-hit card has appeared!
A hit on the 200-point Garlic Crab!
A big-hit card. It's not only easy to eat completely, but is worth a lot of points.
I can understand that Melon Egg from before
but I can't believe he's getting big-hit cards so easily.
That guy. Another consecutive high-point card...
He knows perfectly which card is which.
Just what kind of trick is he using?
The best way to cook a Garlic Crab is by steaming it.
Livebearer-sama finishes it completely!
Garlic Crab
And he earns 200 points!

In this turn he earned 420 points, totaling 640 points.
H-He's incredible!
The big-hit cards are different, but for the most part, he's getting all the difficult to capture and cook ingredients.
Especially the Sanzu River Venomous Lizard.
Quite a lot of technique is necessary to remove the venom.
You need to maintain boiling water at exactly 80 degrees
and remove the venom along with any scum.
His skill as a chef is genuine.
Of course. But they're techniques I stole from numerous chefs.
Ah, I want to suck lots of ideas out of that brain of yours soon!
With three consecutive hits and eating completions, the turn now switches.
Coco, I need you to get us some high-points, too!
Whatever comes up, I'll make sure to eat all of it!
At a glance, this game seems to be a battle of points.
But after examining the flow of it this far, it actually is not.
It is a match to avoid the opposite of big-hit cards, the big-miss cards as much as possible.
Though it's called concentration,
the numbers on the back of the cards are put there purposely to make it easier to remember the locations of ingredients.
In other words, hitting cards in this game is a prerequisite for playing it.
Number 5.
Incredible! Number 5 is the Electric Banana, a narcotic ingredient!
So now we've got an illegal ingredient.
Number 54.
Ah! This is the Atlas Crab!
It's an out!
That is our first out on either team so far this game!
The turn now switches to Livebearer-sama!
Coco!
Coco-san!
So he got an out on purpose, eh?
Could he have picked a card incorrectly?
Or was he just trying to check the point values of some ingredients?
Either way, even if you know which cards are hits,
you've said yourself that you don't know the detailed contents of the cards.
The reason he would go as far as missing the second card...
Heavenly King Coco,
it seems you've understood the point of this game, eh?
Yes. The key to this game is to avoid retiring mid-way through.
The reason the teams that have challenged me to Gourmet Tasting have all lost
is not because they of the point values when all of the cards were drawn,
but because they drew big-miss cards mid-game and retired.
When he saw that Electric Banana card and judged that it would be hard to eat completely,
he purposely avoided getting a hit.
But even if you know that,
your chances of winning are still zero.
Cheat contact lenses.
All of the cards in Gourmet Casino are specially manufactured so when you look at them with these cheat contacts,
you can see the contents of the cards appear in mid-air as a 3D image.
I know which are big-hits and big-misses in a single glance.
Now, he has a chance to create a big gap in points.
Livebearer-sama now enters his third turn!
Number 28 and number 45.
Livebearer-sama hits the 60-point Rock Potato!
Number 14 and number 39.
Following up is the Brain Urchin! A 30-point hit!
Number 10, number 17.
Incredible, another big-hit card! The Numblemon!
It's a 200-point hit! Livebearer-sama keeps getting one after another!
Numblemon
In this round Livebearer-sama has earned 290 points.

Team Coco-Toriko-Komatsu still have only 310 points.
The lead has gotten even wider!
The turn now switches to Team Coco-Toriko-Komatsu.
Number 51.
Oh, man! Number 51 is the Dynamidragonfly!
Dynamidragonfly. That's another ingredient that's hard to finish.
Number 19.
Ah, Number 9 is the Rock Lizard. That's another out.
Coco!
Coco-san!
What's going on, Team Coco-Toriko-Komatsu?!
Seems I was right, he can't grasp the contents of the cards.
Now then, I'll decide victory or defeat right here and now!
Taste Ant, a 40-point hit!
Foam Fruit! A 20-point hit!
My goodness, another big-hit card!
The Gold Shrimp! A 200 point hit!
A rushing onslaught of hits!
Taste Ant
On this turn, Livebearer-sama earned 260 points!

Now the difference between him and Team Coco-Toriko-Komatsu is 880 points!
10 types of cards remain.
Things have gotten considerably grave for Team Coco-Toriko-Komatsu!
If the point difference gets any bigger, we'll be in trouble!
Coco-san!
I predicted that from the game's opening he would earn points efficiently.
And seeing my outs, he's more recklessly been getting hits.
The problem starts here.
The cards he's purposefully avoiding.
Those are most likely the worst big-miss cards.
Our chance for victory lies there!
The cards he's purposefully avoiding.
Those are most likely the worst big-miss cards.
Our chance for victory lies there!
All that's left is the order.
Number 1 please.
It's the 30-point Atlas Crab!
That's the ingredient that came up before.
I'm going to take this one.
Toriko, Komatsu-kun, I'm counting on you.
Number 54.
Number 54, a hit on the Atlas Crab!
Okay, leave it to me.

Okay! Leave it to me.
Atlas Crab dressed with chili sauce.
Looks great!
First I boil it, then rub in some honey to make the meat tender
and then I add the chili sauce, giving it a beautiful shine.
Bon appetit.
I give thanks to all of the ingredients in this world,
Itadakimasu!
Yum!
Gochisousama deshita.
Eating complete! That earns 30 points.

But the point difference is still huge.
It's a pretty austere situation.
Let's keep going, Coco.
There's only about 10 types of cards left.
And these five poison images...
are also the cards he's avoiding.
Unless I see for myself, I won't know.
Number 21.
Th-This is a poison potato!
A big-miss card has appeared!
Poison Potato!
This is a super-special preparation ingredient.
In all of history, no one has ever successfully detoxified it.
A super-poisonous potato!
Poison Potato?
There's no record of even Setsuno-san ever removing the poison from this.
So we can't eat it?
Yeah. It's impossible.
The poison of the Poison Potato is said to be 20 times that of the Puffer Whale.
It's a deadly poison that even I don't have the antibodies for.
And it's only 10 points.
It's impossible to detoxify it and finish eating it in just 10 minutes.
That's truly a big-miss ingredient.
Ah, what an awful ingredient.
Even I would have to pass on that one.
Match, number 24, please.
He doesn't intent to hit it, does he?
This is a joker card!
And it's the super-special preparation ingredient the Nitro Cherries!
N-Nitro Cherries!
The cherries that explode with just a slight stimulus.
Unless it's cooked with incredible precision, it will explode inside your body after you've ingested it.
It's an extremely dangerous ingredient.
And what's more, this card is just 10 points.
It's a big-miss but also a joker card.
Joker card? That's the first time we've seen one.
Yeah. If they finish eating that, they can trade any one card
Coco-Toriko-Komatsu
Livebearer
of their own with one of their opponents.
If they can do that, they can narrow the point gap, but...
Even if they hit that Nitro Cherry, eating it completely will be difficult.
Team Coco-Toriko-Komatsu make an out!
The turn switches.
The cards we choose are finally getting difficult.
Number 18, please.
Number 18, The Hannya Panda!
( Hannya means wisdom in the Buddhist sense. And also a kind of grinning demonic mask in Japanese Noh theater. )
There's one more Joker Card!
H-Hannya Panda?!
Its a wild beast with a panda-like appearance that lulls its opponents into a false sense of security
and then ferociously attacks their opponent.
They're Capture Level 80.
They've even got wild beasts like this here?
However, this Hannya Panda is a 250 point ingredient.
It's a joker with a difficulty in capture appropriate to its point value.
Too much trouble. Number 12.
Number 12! The Troll Cheese!
This is an out! The turn switches.
Troll Cheese.
A cheese that gives off a strong stench that you can't even breathe.
That's an extremely inedible ingredient.
And it's 10 points.
This is a big-miss card, too.
So he didn't make that joker card a hit.
In terms of points, he has a big lead.
There's really no merit for him to go out of his way to fight the Hannya Panda and trade cards.
But more important, the Troll Cheese and the Hannya Panda...
Number 11.
Number 11! The Urchin Rat!
Its Capture Level is high, but it's only 10 points.
This is also a big-miss card!
Number 27.
Number 27, Caesar Snake! Out!
And that's also a big-miss card! The turn switches.
Both the Urchin Rat and the Caesar Snake are above Capture Level 50, but they're only worth 10 points.
With that, every type of card has been exposed.
All of the remaining cards cannot be won with ordinary methods.
No matter which ingredient we hit, I'm not sure if I'll be able to cook it.
There are 9 types of cards remaining.
The point difference is 850.
In order to make a comeback against him here...
Numbers 11 and 21, please.
Urchin Rat!
And Poison Potato!
That's an out! The turn switches.
He just purposely got an out!
I knew it. Since he's got such an advantage in points, he's not forcibly exposing himself to danger.
The first one to get 10 outs loses.
The first ones who got an out was Coco's group's side.
If they keep just getting outs like this, they'll lose.
Anyhow, we need to get a hit on a card before him.
Toriko.
You're up.
Finally, huh?
Numbers 18 and 35.
The Hannya Panda! A hit!
It's up to you.
Right.
Wild beasts with capture levels over 60
are held in the underground storeroom!
This is my first strong opponent in a while.
Perfect for the spark to cause a comeback.
That's right.
The only way for you to come back now is to use jokers.
Komatsu-kun. I have something to talk to you about.
Today's
Gourmet Tasting
Lecture
I'm your newscaster, Tina.
We're now in the middle of the white-hot Gourmet Tasting showdown!
In this corner, we'll be checking in on the flow of the game today and giving a thorough explanation of it all.
Coco-Toriko-Komatsu
Livebearer
Livebearer had 220 points and Team Toriko had 310 points at the beginning of this week.
In the interval where Toriko's group kept getting outs,
Livebearer kept hitting cards one after another and finished eating them all!
Coco-Toriko-Komatsu
Livebearer
Giving him a total of 1,190 points, leaving Toriko and the others in a pinch!
But Coco is aware of that in fact,
this Gourmet Tasting game is not a battle over points,
but a battle to avoid the big-miss cards
and to last as long as you can without retiring!
The cards have all been shown, and the remaining 9 types are all difficult to eat completely.
The point difference is 850!
And finally, Toriko and the others, in their attempt at a counterattack,
have hit the Hannya Panda!
Now we have today's Kruppoint!
Kruppoint
The Hannya Panda
is a stalwart wild beast
boasting a Capture Level of 80!!
The Hannya Panda is a stalwart wild beast boasting a Capture Level of 80!!

Toriko has a head-on fight with a ferocious wild beast!
With them facing trial after trial, what in the world is Coco's secret plan?!
Eat or be Eaten!
Toriko VS the Hannya Panda!
Next time will be a heaping helping of fun, too!
