Someone once said...
that there is a miraculous well
from which natural curry roux gushes, mixed with wild herbs.
A curry well.
That there is sponge cake smelling of the perfectly sweet scent of buttermilk, thickly overflowing with syrup the color of caramel.
A pancake fruit.
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
It is the age of pursuing undiscovered flavors.
Aiming to capture the phantasmal Puffer Whale, the delicacy of the deep sea,
Toriko set forth on a journey accompanied by Komatsu.
The charismatic Bishokuya of the Four Heavenly Kings met up with his comrade Coco.
Together, they ventured to the sandy beach in the cave, from which is said to have a 0.1% chance of safe return.
Suddenly, Komatsu went missing!
And then they were attacked by the legendary demon beast!
A desperate struggle in the cave!
Strike, Go Ren Kugi Punch!
A desperate struggle in the cave!
Strike, Go Ren Kugi Punch!
To-Toriko!
It's the legendary demon beast, the Devil Snake!
Devil Snake (Reptile Beast) - Capture Level 21
What's that incredible noise it's making?!
This is bad! Its cries are reverberating!
Wh-What on earth is that?!
What's going on?!
I dunno.
Hm, well, there's no mistaking that something happened in there...
Wha? Well, of course something happened!
Seriously. I'll bet it's a heaping scoop, at that!
Huh? What's that?
This is some really delicious news.
There's no way I would just be an idle spectator.
Thanks to the lamp that you lent me,
we can make sense of this darkness.
I installed a minuscule camera with night-vision capabilities in Komatsu-kun's helmet.
Preparation is important in both gathering the ingredients and cooking them, isn't it?
No kiddin'! So as a backup plan you stuck a hidden camera in his helmet.
You've got a good head on your shoulders. That almost sounds like something I'd come up with.
If you like, I wouldn't mind taking you on as one of my subordinates.
He really doesn't have to show off here.
Hm? What's this?
Komatsu-kun?!
Just keep quiet.
You'll be much more comfortable in a second.
What power!
I can't move...
Toriko!
What?
No way!
Is it planning to spray digestive fluids on its own arm?!
Toriko!
Like hell I'd let myself get eaten!
Knife!
It can regenerate its limbs like a newt...
and at a remarkable speed!
I know full well how delicious your meat is!
How 'bout I eat you?!
Considering that Toriko can't rely on his eyesight in this darkness,
I must say that he's at a disadvantage.
With your eyes, you can see in this darkness just as clearly
as if it were the middle of the afternoon, right?!
With my eyes, I can see the Devil Snake's electromagnetic waves.
Therefore I can perceive its movements precisely, no matter how fast they are.
I'll do it!
I'll take it on.
Take this opportunity to go and find Komatsu-kun.
Don't be stupid.
It's not like I forced Komatsu to come here.
He came of his own volition.
Toriko...
He knew that this was a dangerous place,
and was prepared for the possibility that the unexpected might happen.
But Komatsu-kun has...
Don't worry about it.
More importantly, how's it looking, Coco?
Can you see the shadow of death on that Devil Snake right now?
No.
See? It's too much for you to handle alone.
Let's take it on together!
The Bishokuya Heavenly Kings, Toriko and Coco...
What an honor!
Those guys'll be able to hold off the Devil Snake.
In the meantime, I'll take a different route to the sandy beach in the cave.
I'll get to the phantasmal Puffer Whale first!
And you'll be drawing the wild beast's attention...
as a sacrifice.
This is bad. This is a large serving...
No, an extra-large serving of danger!
Geez, what a coward. This guy is a disgrace to all Bishokuya.
Totally!
If only that entrance wasn't blocked by those rocks,
I, Zonge-sama, would go beat that guy up in a flash.
'Course, that'd be right after he blasts through the horde of millipedes, right?
The ones he ran away from before?
This is why Zonge-sama doesn't have much luck with the ladies.
What'd you just say?!
Ah, nothing!
You're totally popular, Zonge-sama!
Oh, chocolate bars?!
Itadaki-
Ow! That hurts!
I didn't just get these out to have a snack!
I need the nutrients to get to my brain so I can figure out how to get out of this mess!
Think, think!
Man, how many years has it been since the two of us fought together?
Don't hold me back, Coco!
That's my line.
So it ain't afraid of my intimidation or your poison?
It's been a while since I've had a fight like this.
Knife!
Man, he's hard!
By retracting its elastic skin to the limit,
it increases its hardness and stamina.
Did it figure that out from Toriko's first Knife attack?
Doku Hou!
( Doku Hou = Poison Cannon )
It spat out venom from its hairs!
Just as I thought, it's really hard for me to see in this darkness...
Coco, can you stop the Devil Snake from moving?
The Devil Snake is a reptile beast.
Snake-family beasts and nocturnal creatures have "pit organs",
so the Devil Snake should have them as well.
Pit organs?
Yes. Sensors with which they can detect heat.
You could even say that they function as a second set of eyes.
Above its nose, there are three spots where cells are being stimulated.
Those are most likely the pit organs.
So basically, if we just seal those up...
Yes, its movements can be contained.
My poison or the Devil Snake's poison...
We'll have a showdown to see which is more venomous!
If you can just keep it from moving, I can execute my secret plan...
Secret plan?
My poison or the Devil Snake's poison...
We'll have a showdown to see which is more venomous!
If you can just keep it from moving, I can execute my secret plan...
Secret plan?
Was slacking off on your work as a Bishokuya just a way for you to show off?
It takes a fair amount of time to store up the power.
During that time, I'll completely confine its movements.
Hasn't your poison lost its potency since you haven't used it for such a long time?
If you've got time to be worrying about me,
then please use it to focus on building up your power!
Here we go, Devil Snake!
Poison Rifle!
All right!
It was just a small amount so it'll be a while before it takes effect,
but with that poison's adhesiveness, the pit organs are completely sealed!
Right now, it can't see me.
Doku Hou!
What?!
It has more than three pit organs.
Was it hiding the others until just now?!
Doku Maku!
( Doku Maku = Poison Membrane )
Coco!
Doku Maku.
By expending a large amount of the poison inside my body,
I can cover my body with a thin membrane of poison.
And by doing so, my body is protected from being dissolved by its digestive fluids.
This doesn't look good.
I'm going to run out of poison before I can get a shot at it.
Doku Hou!
Coco!
Dammit!
He's been stabbed by the poisonous needles in its hair!
Stay back, Toriko!
I told you to focus on gathering your strength, didn't I?
Coco!
Do you have the anti-bodies for the Devil Snake's poison?
No, I don't.
But...
Coco!
Acute pain... hallucinogenic effects... this is a hemorrhagic toxin.
I'll decipher the Devil Snake's poison, which has over 100 different proteins...
and use my unique immunization abilities to purify some antibodies.
I don't have the antibodies...
so I'll just make them!
Because I'm a poisonous man.
How do you like the taste of the antibodies and poison that I've created?
Ok, Toriko.
All right. Thanks for your hard work.
I can finally see the shadow of death over it.
Go
Ren
Kugi
Punch
( Go Ren Kugi Punch = 5-Hit Nail Punch )
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Burst open.
Tired, Coco?
Yeah. I guess that by spending all my time telling fortunes,
my body's gotten a bit dull.
I'm kinda worn out.
I can't believe you've managed to get it up to five consecutive hits.
I guess that comes from aiming solely for transcendental ingredients.
Come on, let's hurry up and find Komatsu-kun.
Hm... I wonder how we'll carry this...
We can figure that out later!
We can't just leave it! Something else might come and eat it!
My poison's in it, so unless it's cooked over a fire, it's inedible.
The wild beasts will ignore it.
Regardless, we have to hurry. Komatsu-kun...
Hm, so I just have to cook it, huh?
Hey, Toriko!
I told you, Komatsu'll be fine!
I made sure to gave him a secret weapon for when he's in trouble all by himself.
You've got to be kidding me!
How can there be another one?!
N-No way!
Toriko-san!
Good morning.
This is your Gourmet Newscaster, Tina.
The ingredient that Toriko and Coco acquired today was...
Devil Snake (Reptile Beast) - Capture Level 21
the Devil Snake.
Normally its meat is rather plain,
but spending its time in caves has caused it
to store up fat and increase its savoriness.
If you sauté it lightly, its bullion sizzles...
and when sandwiched together with fresh Neotomato,
it makes a quality hamburger that's gigantic!
Before you know it, you'll be entranced and gorge yourself!
If this happens while you're out on a date, you'll really make a fool of yourself!
Well then, on to the following news.
With Komatsu in trouble, a legendary Bishokuya appears.
Later, the Puffer Whales are found at the sandy beach in the cave.
Oh, I wish I could report from the scene!
"Knocking Master! Puffer Whale, time for the actual food!"
Knocking Master!
Puffer Whale, time for the actual food!
Join us next week for another bowlful of fun!
