Someone once said...
that there are beasts whose whole bodies are covered with marbled meat that melts on your tongue.
That there are dense, mellow tasting Musk Melons, fully-ripe mangoes containing the highest grade juice,
sweet bubbling foam that dances endlessly,
and springs that gush forth with liquid that feels exhilarating as it goes down your throat.
In addition to the meeting progressing calmly and smoothly,
This is the world's Gourmet Age.
there is great excitement surrounding the menu of the gourmet party being held,
Gourmet party being held tomorrow
to which every country's head of state has been invited.
People are entranced by the wide variety of food available.
This is the world's Gourmet Age.
The age of pursuing undiscovered tastes.
The Giant Beast of the Unexplored Land ! Toriko, Capture the Galala Crocodile !
The Giant Beast of the Unexplored Land!
Toriko, Capture the Galala Crocodile!
U-Um. My name is Komatsu.
( Bishokuya = Gourmet and delicious food provider. )
I've come to offer you a job as a Bishokuya.
The International Gourmet Organization, or IGO, is having a gourmet party.
They would like you to provide the ingredients for the meal that will be cooked at the party.
Uh, are you listening?
Toriko-san!
Here it is!
Hey, that's my prey!
And I got a Five-Tailed Great Eagle right along with it!
Guess this is what they mean by "killing two birds with one stone!"
A Crawdad-Fish and a Five-Tailed Great Eagle.
I've never actually seen them caught before! I'm awestruck!
Toriko-san, I'm sure that the Galala Crocodile can be caught if you're on the job!
What? The Galala Crocodile?
Yes!
Besides being really difficult to find, its biology is a mystery.
They say that even with a tank it's hard to bring one down.
It's a ferocious creature.
That's a top-class ingredient. Just one piece is worth 100,000 yen.
It's marbled throughout with fat,
and tastes like deliciously tender high-grade king crab meat combined with A5 grade top-quality wagyu beef!
The Galala Crocodile... it's irresistible!
Then?!
Let's head out!
Bishokumaru
Full speed ahead!
Sorry to bother you, Tomu.
By the way, why're you coming too?
I was told by my superiors to research the biology and behavior of the Galala Crocodile.
Are you a chef?
Huh? How'd you know?
I mean, it is true that I have been given the position of head cook at "Hotel Gourmet", but...
That's a 5-star hotel!
I thought that I caught the scent of high-grade ingredients coming from your hands.
They're imbued with the smell from handling the ingredients every day.
Toriko's sense of smell is better than a police dog's!
Treat me to a full course sometime, all right?!
Yum! A 3 1/2 liter rice ball!
Just what I'd expect.
A good sense of smell is important to have when you're examining flavors.
This is a Bishokuya.
One who hunts down and samples ingredients that no one has ever seen before.
The Bishokuya, a food investigator.
He's said to have discovered around 2% of the 300,000 different ingredients that are known to the world.
The charismatic man of the Gourmet Age,
the Bishokuya Toriko. This is beyond amazing!
Hey, just how much are you gonna eat, here?!
Almond Cabbage is delicious!
I've got the Baron Archipelago in my sights.
Uh, what're those?
Friday Monkeys.
They're extremely wary and cowardly creatures.
They won't attack us.
But the question is... Why're they in a place like this?
Well, we're here.
This is the only entrance to the Baron Archipelago.
It's a mangrove tunnel
that's nicknamed "The Ogre's Mouth!"
Huh? Are those sharks?
This place is swarming with them.
They're called Baron Sharks.
Though it varies a little depending upon their size, they're Capture Level 1.
Huh? Capture Level 1?!
Set by the IGO (International Gourmet Organization) as Capture Level 1
A level of difficulty so high,
that it takes ten pro-hunters to bring the thing down?!
And... there's... this many?
AH! Wh-Wh-Wh-What was that?!
Just the cry of some other wild beast.
There are around 50,000 different creatures living on the Baron Archipelago.
And the king reigning over them is none other than...
the Galala Crocodile.
R-Right.
The Galala Crocodile's ferocity increases with age.
By the time it reaches its maximum age of 150 years,
Capture Level 5
its Capture Level is 5.
You need a tank maintained by the IGO
in order to take something of that level down.
I'm resolved to do this... but I really am scared!
Ow!
We're here.
I may have made a poor life choice, here.
There's no time like the present.
Any time afterwards is the wrong time.
I'm pretty sure that the present is the wrong time, too...
Something's stuck to me!
That's a Baron Leech.
It's just sucking your blood, don't worry about it.
I'm totally gonna worry about it!
It'll open a gaping wound if you try to force it off.
It's all squishy!
Please help me!
Eh? What happened?
Sea water gives the mangrove leaves a high salt content,
which leeches are weak against.
I see.
This place really is creepy.
Wait!
Coming here was definitely- Eh?
Baron Tiger (Mammal Beast) - Capture Level 3
A Baron Tiger.
Capture Level 3.
Something of that level takes 30 soldiers to bring down.
My life... is over.
Want to...
mess with me?!
Huh?
I thought something funny was going on around here.
The Baron Tiger usually lives deep within the Baron Marshlands.
There shouldn't be any around here.
Just like the Friday Monkeys we saw before.
The monkeys are cowardly, and are known for spending their entire lives inside of caves. To be out on the reef like that...
They must have been driven from their normal habitat. I can't think of any other explanation.
This isn't the work of just some Level 5 Galala Crocodile.
It's something even greater than that, a predator with overwhelming power sitting right at the top of the food chain.
A... predator?
It's been a long time, but maybe I'll end up using them once again...
My Fork and Knife!
Serpent Frog (Amphibian Beast) - Capture Level 1
Itadakimasu.
( Itadakimasu = A polite phrase said in Japan before eating. Literally, "to receive." )
Tasty, huh?!
But more importantly, it sure is quiet around here, isn't it?
I can't hear even a single wild beast's cry anymore.
I'm getting the feeling that as we're nearing the Galala Crocodile's habitat, the amount of other creatures around is decreasing...
It's probably because they're being eaten.
We don't know how big its appetite is,
but from the looks of things here, it's possible that it could eat pretty much every creature on the entire Baron Archipelago.
So the life of every living thing on this island is in danger?
Including, of course, mine...?
This is awful.
By the way, I'm still bleeding from where the leech bit me.
That's because leeches secrete a substance called hirudin which prevents blood from clotting.
But it'll stop bleeding eventually.
When exactly is "eventually"?
Swamp Snake (Reptile Beast) - Capture Level 5
A Swamp Snake!
What's the deal with this wound?
Something killed it with one bite.
No freaking way!
The Swamp Snake is Capture Level 5... the same level as the Galala Crocodile!
Yeah, but this jaw size isn't normal.
But how did it get the Swamp Snake? They're supposed to be hard to find...
These are...
Baron Leeches?
It was making the Baron Leeches suck this thing's blood, and then following the smell?
Speaking of which, you were also bitten by a Baron Leech.
So ever since the moment that we arrived on this island,
we've also been targets.
Your targets, Galala Crocodile!
It-It's beyond huge!
And it's raising Baron Leeches?
I've never seen such a gigantic Galala Crocodile before.
Forget 150 years, this one is at least twice that.
An enormous one that's lived 300 years!
This isn't Capture Level 5.
Even the IGO doesn't have data on something like this!
Yeah. Now it all makes sense.
So you're the overwhelmingly powerful predator?
Galala Crocodile [300 years old] (Reptile Beast) - Capture Level 8
Toriko-san, this is dangerous!
300 years old... Its meat has gotten even tastier as its matured, right?
Is this really the time to worry about how tasty it is?
I may have decided on something...
to add to my Full Course Menu!
Toriko-san!
He senses the smell of blood and then he's able to appear anywhere.
It wouldn't be a good idea to draw this fight out any longer.
Galala Crocodile.
Those hard scales, those tough fangs...
Those sharp claws...
And that jaw that probably has 3 tons of power...
An appropriate look for the king of the Baron Archipelago.
I will show you respect and present you with my...
human weaponry!
A demon!
I give thanks to all the ingredients in this world...
Itadakimasu!
Fork!
Knife!
Gochisousama deshita.
( A polite Japanese phrase said after eating. Literally, "It was a great feast." )
A-Amazing.
This is Bishokuya Toriko!
There was a disaster on the Baron Archipelago.
We received a report that it was the work of the Galala Crocodile, but...
that was unfortunately not the case.
There is also some interesting information to report.
The Galala Crocodile was killed by one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Toriko.
Oh? So they've started to act? Those Four Heavenly Kings...
Is this really okay?
To be sitting here eating the food for the party?
It's fine.
Anyhow, there's no way we could carry this huge thing back.
Check it out! The marbled fat is sparkling!
Just like the stars in the night sky!
Itadakimasu.
That's incredible!
After just one bite of this tender meat, juices continuously drip from it!
It's a veritable flood of bouillon!
I... I'll try some, too. Itadakimasu!
The texture of the meat, and the fat that seems like it's melting...
Yeah! If we stone-roast it this way, I'm sure...
That way I can sauté each side of the meat in its own fat,
and all the meat's juices will be sealed inside.
It's done!
The outside is crunchy and fragrant!
The inside's marbling is perfectly cooked and juicy!
YUUUM!
But tell me, why would someone who can make something as good as this
come all the way to Baron Archipelago?
My dream is to become a first-class chef.
I believe that if I don't see the ingredients as they are in their original form, I'll never be able to cook them as best I can.
The first time I saw you hunt, Toriko-san,
I realized that.
That's why I decided that I wanted to see the Galala Crocodile while it was still alive, even though it would be dangerous.
When you eat delicious things, power flows through your body.
That's because eating or cooking something
means that you are receiving the power of its life.
That's why we say "itadakimasu."
Toriko-san.
What's your dream, Toriko-san?
My dream is to create a Lifetime Full Course Menu.
A Lifetime Full Course Menu?
Yeah.
Starting with an hors-d'oeuvre,
then soup, a fish dish, a meat dish, a main dish,
a salad, a dessert, and a drink.
I've actually only decided on one of them, though.
Right now my menu is full of nothing but blanks.
But someday I'm sure I'll complete it.
There are still plenty of delicious things in this world that no one knows about.
And those delicious things, all with different lives, I want to meet every single one of them.
Toriko-san's Full Course...
Toriko-san, if an opportunity like this arises again,
would it be okay if I come with you?
Do what you want.
There's no time like the present.
And any time afterwards is the wrong time, right?!
Komatsu, let's keep frying more of this stuff up!
Okay, Toriko-san!
It's awesome, isn't it, Komatsu?
Once you get going you can't stop!
I know! It's so delicious!
Fry it up faster!
Yes, Toriko-san!
Leave it to me!
Hey, huh?
Gochisousama deshita!
HEY, HUH?
You couldn't have eaten it all, Toriko-san!
Whatever I eat, I eat till there's nothing left. That's my rule!
Aw, man, I'm stuffed!
I told you that we couldn't eat all of it!
What am I gonna tell my superiors?
Just tell them this - it was totally delicious.
What good is that gonna do?!
Forget being the greatest cook, I'm gonna get fired!
That sure was delicious.
But it was still a step below getting into my Full Course.
So after all that, you're giving it a failing grade?!
Gourmet News!
