Walk quietly so you don't scare the Madam Fish!!

The damn thing's moving around...
But it ain't gettin' away...
Coco: A place where the electromagnetic waves are a little stronger...

To a point with an even more delicious smell.
Rin: Okaaay! [Heart]

Komatsu: Eh!?
Is that true!?
Sani: That's what my intuition is saying, so there's no doubt about it!!
Zebura: Moron. My Echo's what right.
Sani: Are you belittling my intuition, bastard?!!
Coco: There's a 90% chance of hooking it here, Komatsu-kun.
Toriko: No, I'm telling you my nose is 100% correct!
Rin: Hold on!!
The "buoy"...
is reacting!

Page 17:
SFX: SHUUUU
SFX: BIKU BIN BIN
All: You got it!!!
Zebura: No doubt, that's the Madam Fish!!
You hit on it inside it's burrow!
Sani: Hey, Zebura, don't go attacking it without thinking! It'll lose flavor!
Komatsu: Is... Is this hook really the Madam Fish!?
Toriko: Okay! Hand it over, Komatsu! Let me reel it in!!
Coco: There's a 90% chance, Komatsu-kun.
Zebura: No, I'll do it. Zebura-sama here's gonna do the anglin'.
Sani: Get outta the way! With my Touches I can get it in one shot!
Coco: Shall I do it?
Komatsu: How about we all work together?
Setsuno: People that sit around the same dining table.

Page 18:
Setsuno: ....Eh?
SFX: PUKA PUKA

So I'll eat it!!
Sani: Don't talk bullshit!! I caught it with my hair!!
Coco: Well, actually I halted its movements with my poison...
Rin: Komatsu-kun found this spot in the first place!

Gon: Ging!!!
Author: Togashi Yoshihiro

Gon: I'm sorry!! It's my fault...
It's my fault that Kaito...!!
turned into a girl!!

Page 3:
Ging: ? Uh, I heard he got caught by an enemy.
Gon: Yeah!!
I was with Kaito and he said to run and then Pitou came!!
Kaito's arm got cut off, I fell unconscious, and then I had to go through an ordeal.

People: Ging is......!!
That Ging bastard is trying to hurry him along!
Gon: I'm really...
the one who sould'b died!!
Ging: Gon...
That's not true...!!

Page 4:
Ging: The reason he brought you along
was because he thought you were capable.
And the reason he told you to run
was because he felt his "reading" of you was an overestimate.
If he thought you couldn't do it from the start,
there's no way he would bring you along just because you said something.
It's his responsibility for his reading being off.
Gon: Budt!
Ging: I know... You're responsible, too, for being weak.
You feel deep responsibility, right?
Don't make the same mistake.
Gon: ......

Page 5:
Ging: And if you're going to apologize,
don't do it to me, do it to Kaito!!
Based on your story, I can't really tell if he's alive or dead, but...
either way, go!!
Gon: Oh...
Okay.
Ging: There are rules to when you apologize to your comrades.
Do you know them?
Gon:?
No... What are they?
Ging: "What do I do next"? You make a promise with him about that.
And you make sure to honor that promise!!
Gon: .....
Okay!!

Page 6:
Ging: Okay, go!!
Gon: Okay!!
SFX: PITO...
Gon: Ging...

Ging: ......... Hm~~~ That'd be a problem.
I'm kinda busy and stuff......
People: Cut the crap, Ging!! How the hell can you call yourself a father?!!
You know Gon cleared Greed Island, don't you? And you still didn't meet with him?! [Upper right]

Chidol: ...Eh?!
Parison: There's a situation where unless the election ends, we can't leave here!!
You want to get going as soon as possible, right?
But this is the genuine final vote!!
If the vote gets taken, we'll be able to get out right after!!
If you make a statement now, everyone here will recognize it as a valid vote!!
There's me, Pariston, an also Leorio-san!! Who do you think would make a better chairman?
By the way, the previous chairman, Netero,
defeated the ant king!! Now he's taking an extended vacation...!!
SFX: Applause

Page 9:
Chidol: Wh... Why would you...
say that?!
After showing up dramatically like that, if Gon picks Leorio...
Gon: Chairman?!
Leorio's a candidate?!
Leorio: No!!
Well, a lot happened, I guess......!!
Chidol: everyone might will get swept up in emotion again and vote for Leorio...!!
Pariston: Gon-kun!! It's okay to be honest!!
Without any falsities in your heart...!! Please choose one!!
Gon: Umm...
then...

Page 10:
Gon: I'll go with Pariston!!
SFX: ZAWA... DOYODOYO
Pariston: Oh...? Aren't you Leorio-san's comrade?
Are you sure you don't want to choose him?
Gon: Yeah.
I mean, Leorio wants to become a doctor,
so he can't be the chairman!!
Chidol: ....Hng?
SFX: DOGAAAN
Chidol: ...
Pariston: I see----
Chidol: I'm completely defeated...
For sure this time...
Pariston: Thank you, Gon-kun!!

Leorio: Ah, sorry, I'm going with him, too!!
Make that one more vote for Pariston!! See ya!!

Twelve Zodiacs, quit laughing and do something!!
SFX: WAAA DOGOOOON WAA WAA WAA WAAA GOSHAN
Gon: Ahaha. In a way, Ging's pretty popular, huh?
Leorio: Hm~~~ Yeah, I guess~~
Ging: Hey, Gon!!
I remembered something!!
SFX: DOBAN!!
Ging: I'm the one who taught Kaito Nen abilities!! And his techniques!!
That includes his "Crazy Slot"!
SFX: BAN
Ging: And there's one number called "Like hell I'm gonna die!"
that won't come out unless you feel really serious!!
That's probably the reason he survived!

Page 13:
Ging: So don't think he did some shit like
sacrifice himself in your place or any of that!!
You're way of apologizing is wrong!!
I'll beat the shit outta you next time!!
Gon: Got it!! I'm going now!!

I never though the moist updraft would cross over the ridge this early...
There's still 80 meters before the landing...

there's nearly 500 meters...

Page 10:
Katou: I cam make it!
It's impossible!
It'll be okay.
I'm still lucid. I can summit it before the weather deteriorates!!
No! It's no good!
It'll turn into a storm in 10 hours at the least, and if I'm caught in itI'll be stuck in the storm for days. And at this altitude trying to ride it out bivouacking is impossible!!

Page 11:
Katou: And for the core of the high-difficulty rock-and-ice mixed wall up ahead, it can't be climbed without a rope!
What happens if I get caught up in the storm then?!
I'll just climb it free!!
I know I can do it!! I've assaulted 8000 meter peaks countless times all for this day!
Even in that Northern Alps all-mountain traversal, in the end after all my stamina was used up, I even climbed that Shakujyou mixed wall, didn't I?!!
Don't be stupid!! The mountains you've climbed were all under 8200 meters, weren't they?!
Do you know what'll happen to your body in the oxygen-less climb ahead?! It's totally unexplored territory!!!
It's true that I have the weakness of having a low value of VO2max that's lethal in high locations, [The 2 should be a superscript]
but after living all those years at the Mount Fuji Weather Measurement Station, I should have already conquered that.

Page 12:
Katou: Just 5 more hours!!
In 5 more hours, everything will be pay off!!!!
All the sacrifices I've paid up till now.
Can I really have no regrets to have come this far and give up without trying?!

Page 13:
Katou: Then what about you family?!
Do you not care if you never see them again?!
Now's your last chance to be sure you can get down alive.
If you don't survive, you'll never embrace Rokka again!!!

160th Climb Alder King
Narration: Franz Peter Schubert
"Erlkönig"
OP.1 D.328
Johann Wolfgang von Goeth
TL Note: The Japanese title of this Dutch poem is "Maou" meaning "demon king" which derives from the incorrect English translation "Elf King". Though the correct translation of the title Erlkönig is thought to be "Alder King" which is a type of flowering shrub. You should read the poem if you want this chapter to make sense. Schubert is a singer who sang the lyrics.
[If you didn't figure it out, you're supposed to listen to that while reading this chapter. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XP5RP6OEJI
and the lyrics are here:

There's no point putting URLs as notes in something that's gonna be scanlated, though.]

Page 2:
Katou: I have with me now, a bivouac sack, a thermos, a jet boiler, 5.5mm rope,
and a small supply of food.
Starting here I'm only bringing essential climbing gear.
I'll switch to a light-weight day pack.
I'll put a tent, a mat, and reserve fuel in my rucksack,
and make a V-thread with a screw, and hook it through a sling and deposit it here----

Page 3:
A hanging glacier. An ice wall starting from 70 to 80 degrees.
I'll go free with double axes. I don't have the spare time for security.

Page 4:
Katou: I'm relatively sure about my footing.
By the degree I can hook my ice axes,

Narration: IGO 2nd Biotope
SFX: ZAZAAA
Side: What will be the next ingredient Toriko and the others set their sights on...!?
SFX: KOPO KOPO (bubbles)
Komatsu: Waaa, amazing!
It's a *"Namekujira", Toriko-san!!
Asterisk: *Tochigi Prefecture's 麦倉弘人-san's work!!
TL Note: Namekujira is a pun on "nameku" meaning "slug" and "kujira" meaning whale. Not really something I can make up an English pun for.
SFX: KACHA
Toriko: Yeah...
Haa [Handwritten]
You can tell that by looking at it.
Bottom: "Toriko"

Page 2:
Sign: Inside the Laboratory "Undersea Restaurant"-----
Komatsu: What's wrong, Toriko-saaan?
You're making such a solemn face.
Could it be you're worried about something?
Toriko: C'mon, man.
Even I've got stuff I worry about.
(In Bubble) On very rare occasions.

Page 3:
Komatsu: Eeeh? What is it you're worried about, Toriko-san!?
I'm really curious now!
Toriko: It's nothing... Just thinking of certain components...
Komatsu: Components?
What kind of components...?
TL Note: The word "component" they're using here (guzai) means an "ingredient" but specifically the type that's part of a larger food (like lettuce or tomato on a burger). It's distinct from the normal word for ingredient (shokuzai). The parts of the Century Soup used this word.
SFX: ZUZU...
Toriko: The "Ehou Maki".
TL Note: "Ehou" means "Lucky Direction" or "Favorable Direction". Maki means Roll. This is a regular food in Japan eaten at the end of winter to bring about good omens.
Komatsu: E...
Ehou Maki?!

Page 5:
Toriko: From the President.
An ingredient he requested for my training.
SFX: GOBO GOBO
Toriko: The 6th one
is in a temple called "Shokurin Temple"... [quote in white]
TL Note: Shokurin = Food Forest
Komatsu: Sho- "Shokurin Temple"...!?
That's the temple with the highest levels of "food etiquette", isn't it!!? It's famous!! [quote white.]
Toriko: Yeah... I also heard "Shokurin Temple's" master is one of the "Gourmet National Treasures"...
Komatsu: You mean one of the only four "Human National Treasures" in the world is at "Shourin Temple"...!!?
Doesn't it have the 10-star restaurant "Disappearance Cuisine" there, too...!!? I mean, I only know it by rumor.
TL Note: "Disappearance" here uses a phrase literally meaning "hidden in the clouds".
Toriko: Yeah.
I've only heard rumors, too.
That's the problem.

Page 6:
Toriko: "Shokurin Temple" is also known by the name "Disappearance Temple".
It's famous, but no one knows that much about the place...
Right now, a legendary temple known purely by rumor...
Komatsu: It... it's famous, but...
no one knows where it is? How on Earth...
Toriko: The world's largest sea of trees, "Lost Forest"... [quote bold]
TL Note: Lost Forest is written in katakana, so it's different from the one in Zelda which is Mayoi no Mori (迷いの森).
Toriko: I know that "Shokurin Temple" is located somewhere inside that sea of trees, but it's so vast that no one can pinpoint the exact location, apparently.
Komatsu: I... I see... The forest is too thick, huh...?
Toriko: So about that... I asked about the place
to the "Food Fortune Teller", [quote bold]
"Monchy"...!!
Komatsu: F... Food Fortune Teller!!
Monchy!!
Who is that?!?

Page 7:
Toriko: He's a sushi craftsman I know.
He uses a form of divination where an "Ehou Maki" points one toward the direction of what they want to find.
Komatsu: W... With the direction an Ehou Maki points!?
Toriko: Normally, by eating an Ehou Maki it points you towards good fortune for that year,
but in the Gourmet Age, good fortune truly means the location of an "ingredient".
What Monchy's customers ask for is the direction for where they can find an ingredient.
If they go toward that direction, eating the Ehou Maki that Monchy made, they'll eventually reach their target destination.
Komatsu: Wh... What a novel form of fortune telling...
Toriko: If Coco is a personal fortune teller, specializing in using the electromagnetic waves someone gives off, ["personal" in italics]
Monchy is a fortune teller specializing in finding ingredients... And he's right on the mark every single time! ["Finding ingredients" in italics.]
Komatsu: Every-
Every single time!?
Toriko: However,
depending on the ingredient in question, the the "type" and "volume" of the components for the Ehou Maki will change. ["components" in italics.]
(In Bubble): Apparently...
If the customers don't provide that, Monchy won't make the Ehou Maki for them.
He's a pretty stubborn old man.

Page 8:
Komatsu: Ah.
So you were worried about those components, Toriko-san?
Toriko: Yeah... I thought I might find some good seafood components if I came here to the 2nd Biotope, but...
I'm not seeing a single really new ingredient.
Hm?
Guy: Excuse me for interrupting your meal, Toriko-sama.
There's a communication from the President...
Toriko: Ah?
From the old man?

Page 9:
Guy: The "Pot Pond" has apparently... ["Pot Pond" in white.]
frozen over.
TL Note: (Cooking) Pot Pond = Nabe Ike
Toriko: !!
What!?
P...
Pot Pond has...!?
Komatsu: S... So you mean...
Guy: Therefore...
for the ruler of the pond living there,
for the capture of the "Madam Fish",
the President has ordered
a challenge all members of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Toriko: Whaaat...!?
...All...

Page 10-11:
Toriko: All members of the Four Heavenly Kings-----!?
UOOOH
SFX: ZAH
Toriko: It really is frozen over!!
SFX: HYOOOOOO
Komatsu: A... Amazing, so this is...
the place nominated to be a part of "Gourmet World Heritage", "Pot Pond"!!? ["Gourmet World Heritage" in bold]
With the stock coming from the *"Wakame Snake" and the "Conbu Snake" that live at the bottom of the lake,
Asterisk: *"Wakame Snake" Fukuoka Prefecture's 松永恋-san's work!!
TL Note: Wakame and Konbu are types of edible seaweed/kelp.
Komatsu: The pond water becomes a natural soup stock! It makes the whole lake like a pot of top-quality soup.
Toriko: Yeah. And with the nutrients from that soup stock in the pond, there are some yuuummy fish swimming in it.
And among them is the ruler of the pond, the *"Madam Fish".
With its resplendent outer beauty and taste, its earned the name Lady of the Freshwater Fish World.
Asterisk: *"Madam Fish" is Yamaguchi Prefecture's 鶴岡美菜-san's work!!
Komatsu: Toriko-san!! That "Madam Fish"...
SGX: NIH
Toriko: will make a good component for the Ehou Maki!!
But the one thing I'm concerned about..
.
Page 12:
Toriko: Why do we REALLY need four people for this...?
Rin: Torikooo!!
Toriko: Hmm?
Rin: I came to use "Super Relaxation"
on the wild beasts around the lake!
Toriko: Oh, thanks, Rin!
This place is a AAA (triple A) danger zone, so there're a lot of dangerous beasts.
The biggest problem will be the Madam Fish's nervous sensitivity.
If there's anything noisy around, we won't be catching anything.
Coco: The ice spread over the pond
is convenient, as well.
Toriko: !!
Coco!!
Komatsu: Coco-san!
Coco: The Madam Fish, huh...?

Page 13:
Coco: Capture Level 83. And that's not from fighting capability. ["83" is really big.]
It's because it's so cowardly, it rarely comes out of its nest.
I've heard that at the longest, it only leaves its nest once in a few decades...
Komatsu: Eeh~~ So it's practically a phantasmal fish...
Coco: If we try normal fishing and netting techniques, it will be impossible to capture... And if we send out a boat, we'll be noticed immediately...
Our chance will come from the surface of the pond being frozen with the Madam Fish feeling safe.
And that time is now!
Sani: By why'd Pot Pond suddenly freeze?
I don' get it!!
Toriko: !!
Sani!
Komatsu: Sani-san!!
Sani: The water (stock) in Pot Pond is warm, so... It'd need a lotta cold or it wouldn' freeze.
Why does this feel like some scheme of the Pres'dent's?

Page 14:
Zebura: Who the hell cares about that shit?!!
Let's just eat the fish and get the hell outta here!!
People: !!
Toriko: An "Otodama"-----!!
Ze...
Zeburaa!!
Komatsu: Zebura-san!!
Sani: It's been a while since I've heard that sickenin' voice.
The fact that he's listenin' to the old man's orders means he's cleaned up his act a lil'.
Zebura: Moron.
I only came because I wanna eat that fish.
People: !!

Page 15:
People: Zebura!!
Zebura: If ya want, Sani,
no, all of you...
how about a match against me
to see who can get that fish first?
Sani: Aah!?
Who do you think yer talkin' to, asshole!!?
You've got real guys to go up against my Touches in a fishin' contest, don't ya!!
Coco: No, fishing is actually more Zebura's field.
Toriko: All right, you're on! Let's see who can catch it first!!?
Komatsu: EEE~~H?
We finally got everyone together,
so let's work together to fish it~~
(In Bubble): As friends.
Toriko: What're you talking about, Komatsu!?

Page 16:
Toriko: If you're looking for who has the best odds, your "Food Luck"
will make you the top pick!!
Okay, let's go!!
A match to capture the Madam Fish!!
Let's begin!!!
Rin: I'm fishing with Toriko!
Toriko: Yeah, yeah, I know.

Valentine: Calm down............Johnny Joestar.
Don't shoot.
Please listen to what I have to say, first.
At this point, it would be a simple matter for you to kill me.................... Don't shoot out of panic.......
Johnny: Uu...uh
Aaa..........
Aaaa
Lucy: ..........

Page 4-5:
Valentine: I'm already defeated.
I'd like to make a "deal" here......
Please try............. not to see things from only one perspective.
The only one who can bring the dead Gyro Zeppeli back to this world......
is my "D4C" ability.
Johnny: Sh... Shut up..........
What the hell are you saying at this late hour!!? Be quiet!
Johnny: Stop talking to meeeeeee!!
I'm going to end everything here and now!
Lucy: ............
SFX: BUH

Lucy: ?...

Johnny: ......

Page 7:
Valentine: My goal is to collect all of those "corpse parts"...
That and that alone.
This situation came about as a result of trying to collect them, but my goal is not to take your lives.
Flame Thingy: Life
This world's Gyro Zeppeli disappeared into the sea.......... As things stand, his body will just rot away...
So even if I bring a Gyro Zeppeli from another world, there will be no situation where the two Gyros will meet and be "annihilated"...
I can do that......
Lucy: Uuh...
Ah.

Page 8:
Lucy: HAH
HAH
Valentine: Now...
this "infinite rotation",
please "stop" it...
[What's with these little pictures in the bubbles all of a sudden?]

Page 9:
Valentine: There is way to do that for this rotation...
With the opposite direction, shoot my "D4C" again.
Shoot a nail bullet with a rotation opposite direction of what you shot before.
It should be able to do it.............! Your "Stand ability"!!
Please shoot me with an "infinite rotation" going the exact opposite way...................
It should stop it by matching the plus with a minus.
And then I can bring Gyro here...................
Johnny: HAAA HAAA
HAAA HAAA
Uuh.

Page 10-11:
Johnny: HAA HAA
HAAA
HAAA
HAAA
Johnny: You're saying you can bring Gyro back?
HAAA
HAAA
Valentine: I promise.
Lock Thingy: Promise
Johnny: Gyro, safely, with no injuries..........!!?
HAA
HAA
Valentine: I promise.
Lock Thingy: Promise
Johnny: And then you'll just let Gyro and I go?
HAAA
HAAA
HAAA
Valentine: I promise.
Lock Thingy: Promise
Valentine: I won't take revenge on anyone.............

Page 12:
Valentine: I vow I'll act like nothing ever happened between us.
Hereafter, I will absolutely not lay a hand on either of you and I'll let you go wherever you want.
If you want to continue the race for the prize money, I'm fine with it.
All I want is to procure the "corpse"..........
That's all.
Johnny: HAAAH
HAAAH
HAAAH
But the Gyro you bring back here...
it won't be exactly the same person...
he would be from a "world of a different dimension"............. he'll be a "different Gyro"!

Page 13:
Valentine: Johnny Joestar...
Do you think there's anyone who knows the future?
Even if it's a different Gyro with a different past... Or possibly even one that's not your friend
From this point forward, Gyro Zeppeli will walk the path of Gyro Zeppeli................... The "important thing" is that he's alive here in our world.
Johnny: ...Uh.
Uuh......
HAAAHAAA
HAAAHAAA

Page 14:
Valentine: I have one more thing to say.
And it's of something of extreme importance.
My actions were not done out of "selfish desire".
I do not desire to procure the "corpse" for the sake of "power" or in order to "control" someone.

Page 15:
Lucy: UA...A
Valentine: I have "feelings of patriotism".
Everything action I have performed done because I judged it to be "absolutely" for this country's sake.
You experienced it, didn't you!? Only things of "happiness" and "beauty" gather toward the "corpse".
Johnny: HAA
HAA
HAA
Valentine: Things of "unhappiness" and "cruelty" were blown away somewhere... Having someone elsewhere bear their "brunt".

Page 16:
Valentine: That is because, in the reality of this human world, it is impossible for every human to be "happy".
In the shadow of "happiness" there is "cruelty".
There is always a balance between the "positives" and the "negatives".
That's what the holy "corpse" is!!
For argument's sake, just think of what would happen if it were handed over to some rule-flaunting "low-life bastard" on the other side of the world.
He would only think of using it for things he wants, low-life things.
One can only imagine what deplorable events would then be in store for the future of this country......
That is one scenario that I must prevent.

Page 17:
As president, it is my sworn "duty".
In this world, to "guarantee the safety" of the people of my country. That is what it all comes down to!
This Steel Ball Run Race has occurred for that end.
Having the "Stand Users" collect the "holy corpse" was the one and only way.
As you would know from world history, during times of dramatic change, there is always fighting.

Page 18:
Valentine: But on the other hand, because there are sacrifices that occur from battle, "important things" can be obtained.
Those who died in this race are a necessary result.
I believe I have made no mistakes in my actions.
It is because it was the "Steel Ball Run Race", and not a war, that it has ended with the minimum number of sacrifices.
Please, "Johnny Joestar".
Do not be hasty.
Johnny: HAA
HAA
HAA
HAA
HAA

Page 19:
Valentine: The only one who correctly understands the "corpse" is me............... I will not hand that "corpse" over to some other country.............
I am not afraid of death...... But I want time! I can't die here......
Please stop this "infinite rotation" in my body...
Johnny: HAH
HAH
HAAH
HAAH
SFX: BUSHUH
BUSHU
Johnny: HAAH
HAAH
You're a "righteous person"?..........
I want to believe you...
I want to believe... that you might be a "good person".
And that maybe it was my actions have been "bad"...

Page 20-21:
Johnny: But there's no "proof"......
Thingy: Proof
Johnny: HAAH
HAAH
You're the President. If I stop that "rotation" and you got control of the "corpse",
you might pull a "surprise attack".
Before you bring Gyro back.........
You could do something like send an "assassin" or "army troop" back.
There's no "proof we will be safe"...
HAA
HAA
Valentine: I said I "vow" to.
Once I have sworn to do something, I have always carried it out.
............I absolutely will not "take revenge".
Johnny: I'm saying you have to make me "believe" that!!
Valentine: ......
How you say you're a "good person"...
That you're not a powerful and talented "liar"............... that you're a person that walks the "path of righteousness"...
Now! Right here, try and convince me!
HAA
HAA
HAA
If you can prove to me that you're a righteous person who honors their "vows", I'll happily stop the "rotation"!!

Page 22:
Johnny: I want to see Gyro again...
If I could believe you were a "good person" then it would be incredibly fantastic.
I want a "safe Gyro" to be brought back here once again................... I want to bring everyone back.
Please let me believe you.

Page 23:
Valentine: ....................
That's "Hot Pants"'s spray.
She became a sacrifice as well, but that's from the world of another dimension's "Hot Pants".
I took it from one earlier.

Page 24:
SFX: BUSHIH
BUSHIH
Valentine: When the "corpse" completely separates from Lucy's body,...
she will probably die there.
SFX: BUSHIH
Valentine: But with "Hot Pants"'s "spray", you can heal her wounds.
I think of this world's "Lucy" as a precious goddess of good fortune.
I stole that "spray" by the small chance that "Lucy's" life came in danger.

Page 25:
Valentine: Use it to heal her.
You can also use it for your "left hand" that I cut off... And while it's still breathing, you can use it to heal the neck of your "beloved horse".

Page 26-27:
Valentine: Listen...
The one who got in my way, "Steven Steel",
If that man, "Steel", hadn't got in my way before at the train,
when I was going to cut your throat, you would have been killed by me and we wouldn't have gotten into these circumstances.
The reason I didn't kill that "Steel" man was
because I told Lucy I would "guarantee his safety".
It was a vow to the goddess of good fortune.............. that I would not lay a hand on "Steel"...!!
Once I have once verbally vowed something, I will always carry it out.
If I have promised I "will not take vengeance" on you, then I "absolutely won't".
This is.........
a "memento" of my father's.
My father, who had a habit of writing the date on everything, had embroidered on this handkerchief---- my "birthday".
It is a support to my heart...... I always carry it with me at important times......
I was told that my father kept it with him when he went to war. But he died in action, and then it was returned to where I lived.
It may be impossible for someone else to understand it's irreplaceable importance to me, but
I swear on my deceased father's "handkerchief".

Page 28:
Valentine: Johnny Joestar.
I vow "I will not take revenge on you."
and that I will end everything here.
Johnny: .....................................

Page 29:
Valentine: I have parents, too...
I was told he even wrote the "date" on his underwear, but Father was a great man.
Since after he died, I've thought so more and more.
From this handkerchief I learned of a "father's love" and "patriotism". It was my starting point...
I went to search for him countless times...
If there's a way to find him, I'd like to see my father one more time...................
Johnny: ..........

Page 30:
Johnny: HAA
HAA
HAA
Horse: Buruburuburu
Valentine: ..........
What will you do?
Johnny Joestar..........
the right to decide to take this "deal"...
lies solely in you.
Johnny: HAA
HAA
HAA
Valentine: But I hope you make the right decision!
Stop this "rotation"...
Shoot my "D4C" with an "opposite nail bullet".
Johnny: ....................
My father is still alive, but...

Page 31:
Iforgethisname: Aah... God...
you took...
the wrong son......
Johnny: Fathers.......
Can they be thought of the way you think of yours......?
I never once...
............felt the way about my own father the way you remember him...
Not even for one moment......
So even if I could go to different dimensions...
I would never do something like go look for my father.
Your might be...
the "righteous path".............
At the very least, compared to me, right here......
you're walking a more "righteous path" as a person.
Valentine: Johnny Joestar..........

HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING TO MEEE!!?

Mother: Funny.
...................
Funny.
Mom has a guest she'd like to introduce you to.
This man...

Page 26:
Mother: He's a captain in the army's cavalry, Valentine-san.
Please listen to what he has to say.
Valentine: This "handkerchief"...................
I
So I came to see you... to talk about this "handkerchief".

Page 27:
This "handkerchief"'s owner is not me..........
That person is a dear friend of mine, and I am holding onto this for him...............
He is... a man with a habit of writing the "date" on anything......
If he bought boots, he'd write on them the "date" of what month and what day he bought them...
On the day he got married, he even wrote that "date" on his underpants. His friends always laughed at him for it.
In an earlier war, as a soldier in this country's army, that man
had bad luck, was captured by the enemy, and became a prisoner of war.
That soldier was tortured.

Page 28:
Valentine: And every day............
"How many people are in your company?"
"Where are they going to attack from?"
"What type of weapons are they using?"
"Show us on a map where their snipers are hiding."
When he didn't answer, they would inflict pain on him again and again.
He never once answered them, but
his heart was nearly crushed.

Page 29:
And when he felt it was going to break down...
he decided in his heart that he would "protect" this "handkerchief" with all he had.
This handkerchief has September 20th 1847 embroidered on it......
It's a "date" from where he holds memories with his family.
Because protecting his family is connected to protecting his country.
With this "handkerchief" as the only thing "supporting his heart", he was able to endure the pain and fear of being a prisoner of war.
But when he was tortured.............
if he didn't do something, the enemy side would confiscate it from him.

Page 30:
Valentine: He had to hide that handkerchief somewhere...
He felt like if it was confiscated, even his "heart" would tear into pieces, and there was no way he could throw it away...
It would be totally impossible to hide it somewhere in his prison.
And what's more, when he was tortured he was stripped completely naked, and every hole in his body was roughed up.
"inside his mouth", "inside his nose", "inside his anus"................
But he "hid it through" the whole ordeal. Do you know where he hid it?
It was because he hid it and never said anything up until the end that our entire company was able to survive
and I was able to bring this "handkerchief" here to you like this...

Page 31:
And you are now 7 years old.
What I'm about to tell you is an incredibly painful and cruel reality, but...
You're a man, so I came thinking you could handle it...
I have to tell you this story to the end.
Where did he hide the "handkerchief"
when he was being tortured...?
His eye was already blinded............
Mother: Uh... Uuuuh.
S.... Stop.................
No more.
Funny: ..............................
[What the hell are those things he's playing with? Puppies? Baby pigs? Hedgehogs? Some sort of hybrid?]

Page 32:
Valentine: He gouged out that blinded left eye himself
balled up this "handkerchief", and kept it the whole time in that cavity.
And this embroidery... September 20th, it's your "birthday", isn't it?......
Mother: UAAAAA
AAAUUU
Valentine: His beloved child's "birthday".

Page 33:
It was your father.
After he died, when your father was buried, I found this.
Mother: AAA
AAAAA
AAAAAA
Valentine: "Patriotism" is the most beautiful "virtue" in this world.
Even animals risk their lives for the sake of their children, but
risking one's life for pride in their country and thinking of it as an extension of protecting one's family is only a "nobility of humanity"......
A kind of heart completely different from a religious fanatic.

Page 34:
Valentine: I'm proud to have been your father's friend.
Here.........
This "handkerchief" belongs to you.
Mother: UUU

Page 42:
Valentine: ....................

Page 43:
Stop... that's enough... that "infinite rotation"...
...............................This is my "defeat"..........
My "complete defeat"! I can no longer win...... you are... the "victor".

Page 44:
Valentine: But there are still living "Gyro Zeppelis" in other dimensions.
I'll make a "deal" with you......
I can bring "Gyro" here, to this place.
I'm the only one for which this is possible.
If I were to "die" here like this......

Page 45:
That would be lost forever.
Gyro will never come back to this place.
..........What do you choose?
[To be continued is already in English. And isn't it obviously to be continued? He never did that in any other chapter.]

Page 46:
"Tusk - Act 4"
---Following the logic passed down from ancestors in the Zeppeli Family---
With the "rotation using the horse's running power" combined with Johnny's Tusk's rotation, a stand ability with the power of infinite rotational energy. In order to control gravity, that rotation pierces through other dimensions. (It's damage is also likely infinite and should never end.)

What is this!?
It's the same as with Gyro Zeppeli.
The "form" of this energy.
Without being shot to somewhere on the other side of the world, like China or Africa,
It's clinging to this wall and trying to enter into it.

Page 15:
N... No, it's more than that.
It's trying to pry it open.
A "new power"...... This is Johnny Joestar's "Stand"...
D... Dammit... This is not good...
With Gyro, it was an "elliptical sphere"...... But with Joestar, this is probably a perfect, or even high level of rotation!

Once it's crossed the dimensional wall, what's it going to do?
When it comes in here, and outstretches those arms, what's it going to do to me!?
This is bad...
This is a bad place to be.
It's seeming like it would be best to run from this place.
Just hiding inside this light isn't good enough.
I have to run even deeper.
To this "place"'s..........

My skin aged............ And this time, my body is spontaneously rotating.
Each individual cell that makes up my body
is spinning......
It's like I keep changing direction..........
Is this because I was hit by Johnny's Stand attack?
Because I was punched by that?
This is an "after effect"!?

Page 48:
"Tusk - Act 1"
---Johnny Joestar's rotating finger energy's nail bullets---
"Tusk - Act 2"
The nail bullet's bullet holes pursue enemies and objects. (If they're destroyed, the rotation ends.)
"Tusk - Act 3"
If Johnny shoots himself with a nail bullet, he can hide himself inside a "hole". (Perhaps he hides in the boundary between different dimensions.)

Title: Break My Heart
Break Your Heart

Author Flap:
The work known as drawing "pictures" is "infinite". You can keep drawing on one sheet forever wondering where's the best place to end. And "story". For example, you can have the setup of a "lover" falling to the bottom of a deep hole, but there's a situation where if a "friend you don't like" can takes the lover's place if you push them in, saving that "lover"'s life. Then what would you do in that situation? Would you push in the guy you hate? I have a feeling that's not the "right action". If you think about it, the answers can "infinitely" disappear. By the way, with "drawings", they're completed when your own "hearts" wants them to end. That's my personal opinion.

to deliver to them delicious tastes,
the "Gourmet Santas" shove off!! [quote in white]
Sani: Gourmet Santas!?
SFX: ZAPAAAN

Page 8:
Narration: The main duties of the IGO are: (1) The discovery of new ingredients. (2) The research and development of said ingredients. (3) The circulation of food and the public order.
Their operating funds are collected from the member nations in the form of an enormous "Gourmet Tax". [quote bold]
SFX: BABABABA
Narration: In exchange for the member nations paying the tax they secure a stable circulation of Gourmet Ingredients, but
actually, they even distribute Gourmet Ingredients to the non-member nations that are too poor to pay the IGO "Gourmet Tax".
The funds for that is the large sum of money collected from betting at "Gourmet Colosseum"...
With the tops and major leaders of countries as customers of that less-than-ethical Colosseum,
they close their eyes to the delivery of food provisions to the non-member nations.

Page 9:
SFX: RUDOH
SFX: BUA
Mansam: Even so,
SFX: BASA BASA
Mansam: it's not something that the citizens of member nations that pay the "Gourmet Tax" approve of.
So this large amount of food is distributed all at once every year, taking advantage of "Christmas" and doing it in the middle of the night.
Komatsu: I se... Because if it's Christmas, there's nothing strange about delivering presents, huh?
Mansam: But now there are voices starting to come out calling the distribution into question...
From inside the IGO...
You could say that the difference between the wealthy and poor in the world has just shrunk that much, but...
there are still many poor countries...
Speaking of which, Toriko and the others originally came from poor countries.
Komatsu: Eh!? Is that true?

Page 10:
Mansam: It sure takes me back...
There's no way I could forget the first day I met him.
Komatsu: ............
Toriko-san, who's always so extravagant...
grew up poor...?
Mansam: The one who originally started the food distribution was our current President, but...
a little while ago, the President said something that got me concerned...
Ichiryuu: That guy... he sure has evolved quite a bit.
In order to stop it, I guess even I'll need some considerable resolve...
Mansam: What's wrong, President?
Ichiryuu: Mansam.
Sorry... That time is sure to come... ["That time" in italics.]
So while we can, fill the stomachs of the children of the world as much as you can...
Mansam: ..........That time...
Hah...... Is there no way to stop it......?
Komatsu: .........
That time...?

Page 11:
Mansam: Hm...?
Ah... Nevermind.
It's nothing...
Which reminds me, youngster!! That oil called "Mors Oil" you discovered recently!! [First sentence big/bold.]
Apparantly it was recognized as new kind of natural seasoning!!
Komatsu: Eh?! That oil I found in the Death Falls?!
Mansam: Yeah. It's some pretty good quality oil, apparently!
Komatsu: I'm so glad~~~ It's all thanks to Toriko-san and Sani-san.
Mansam: Maybe you'll get a Chef ranking soon.
Maybe even inside the top 100.
Komatsu: Eh... Eeeh!? Me in the top 100!?
N... No~ I'm not nearly that skilled yet!!
SFX: BYUN BYUN
Mansam: No, it's not so much your skill...
A lot of things have happened and you've moved up, it seems... ["moved up" in italics.]
Komatsu: Ah... So it's not my skill...
(On Page): Haha...
Komatsu: But moved up...?
What do you...
Mansam: Be glad, youngster! If you get into the top 100,
you'll be able to appear on that "Cooking Festival"!
Komatsu: "Cooking Fest"!?
That Gourmet program that gets 95% ratings?!
Hya~~ It's like a dream~~
Mansam: Hahhahha. That information was the best Christmas Present I could give you, huh?

Rin: I can't believe I got a date where it's just me and Toriko~
I'm so totally happy~~ [heart]
And it's been so long since I've appeared in the series.
Toriko: Like I said, this isn't a date, Rin.
Rin: Oh no! This really isn't a dream, is it?!
Oww... It's not a dream! [Heart] ["Oww..." in scary font.]
Toriko: We're headed to the slum city called "Ligu". [quote bold.]
It's pretty far, but...
Terry's top speed now is over 350 km/h.
We'll get there soon.
Rin: Ah!
That's right, Toriko.
You said you didn't know Terry's Capture Level before, right?
Toriko: Hm?

Page 13:
Rin: Look at this. This is a measuring instrument they're making at the research lab now.
Toriko: Oh? What is it?
Rin: It's a machine that measures "Capture Level". Though they're still developing it.
Like, you know how the highest Capture Level they can measure at Gourmet Colosseum is 100, right?
Toriko: Yeah. That's because the highest Capture Level of any beast living in Human World is 100.
It's a famous wild beast...
I'll definitely fight that thing in the near future, though...
............
Rin: If this measuring instrument is completed,
It'll be able to measure and display the Capture Levels of wild beasts even above 100 in an instant!
Toriko: Really? That's awesome!
With that I could even tell the Capture Level of wild beasts in Gourmet World!!
Rin: Yep! So let's test it out now and try measuring Terry.
Toriko: But it's not complete yet, right?
Rin: Well we're just testing...

Match: To the Jidar Kingdom, the "casino" is nothing more than a single source of income...
For a country that runs through dark commerce
they probably have an income some tens of times that of the casino...
Toriko: The country's dictator's got tons of high-class ingredients in there, too.
So what on earth could be his reason for disappearing?
Komatsu: Maybe he found a place
with even more delicious foods than here to go to?
Coco: Mm~~ Regardless of the reason, it's not good for Jidar to be left dangling like this.
There will be rebellions aiming to claim rule.

At this point, all of the volumes have come out, so I'll be doing this based on the volume version. I scanned all the color pages though, so I have those archived. And I have the volumes which I may scan later.

This weekend Monkey D Rufi suffered a horrific grammatical accident. Sentence fragements everywhere, detached subclauses astray, redundant adjectives and general contextual misinterpretative mayhem was abound. But he's in the Syntactic Hospital now. His leg's in a dictionary-cast and he's hooked up to a TL-drip. Because of that, he was unable to perform his duties this week and I had to step in at the last minute.

We're hoping he comes out of his word-coma soon. He should be back up to his contextually-fragmented self by next week.

(SFX: SHAKA SHAKA Brushing)
Kagura: Eh~~ it is fine~~~
I have already gone shopping.
(SFX- GOSO GOSO)
If you want lunch, here. We have tasty hot manjus, yes?
Shin: No, that's gross!! How the hell are you using that kotatsu?!
(SFX- MUN)

Page 4:
Kagura: Fine then. If you do not want them, Gin-chan, where is the mustard?
Gin: We have some, but it's on the floor over there.
Kagura: Then I will just use that toothpaste.
Shin: ENOUGH ALREADY!!
Just how lazy the two of you gonna be right from the first day of the year?
Being comfortable is fine, but you're overdoing it! You've been like this ever since we got that new kotatsu, haven't you?!
If you guys are eating like little kids, what am I gonna do?! Get up already! Let's get going!
Where's the outlet for this thing?
Gin: There ain't an outlet.
Shin: You liar! Show me! Where are you hiding it?!
Gin: I'm tellin' ya, there ain't one.
Shin: Quit playing dumb!! Without an outlet how can you turn it off and on?!
(SFX- GABAH)
Gin: We don't need to be able to turn it on and off.
Because like I said,

Page 5:
Gin: we're not
coming out of here.
Shin: S...
Space?
No.
This is... This iiiiis
A black hooole!!

Gin: What're you doin' there, Pattsan? Keep it down.
Shin: WAAAAAAAIT! W... WAIT ON HEEEERE!!

Page 7:
Shin: Wh... What is thiiiiis?! What the heck is this kotatsuuuuu?!!
How was a black hole born inside a kotatsuuu?!
Gin: What, you're saying you didn't know?
That's what a kotatsu is, obviously.
Once you go in, you don't go out.
It soaks in people's lazy pleasures and sucks out all motivation. It's a square black hole.
That's a kotatsu.
Shin: I've never heard of that! A home appliance that comes off that terrifying!!
I know that's not it. Seriously, what's going on? It's seriously sucked my body in so it won't come out!!
Where on earth did you get this, Gin-san?!!
Gin: They were stressed over how to dispose of it, so they gave it to me for free. I liked the design. Ain't it nice?
Shin: Design? If you get a good look at this thing, it's got creepy charms stuck all over it!
Gin: What was it again... I think they said the previous owner had sealed Evil King Something-ccolo in this kotatsu.
(TN- This is a reference to... you know.)
Gin: It was a little scary so I didn't really listen to the whole thing and brought it home half way through.
Shin: Uh, I think you heard pretty much the whole scary part!!
You were just missing the "Pi"!! That's friggin' Evil King Piccolo!!

Page 8:
Gin: Relax. It ain't "Evil King Piccolo".
I'm pretty sure it was "Evil King Nekkara" or something.
(TN- Nekkara means "by nature" or "to the core" or "thoroughly".)
Shin: It's an evil king to the core?! That makes it even more scary!! And that's not the problem!!
So what does this mean? Are we friggin' sealed into this kotatsu?!
We're can't get out... is there any way to at all?!
What do we do?! Right from the first chapter of the year,
we've gotta do everything while giving off this lazy looking image to everyone?!
Kagura: Not just the first chapter of the year, the entire year will be managed like this, yes?
Shin: That ain't gonna last!
Gin: It doesn't matter if we're a little lazy.
Pattsan, it's our 9th year this year.
Even we use the Sazae-san method of years never actually going by, spiritually I'm already around 40.
Spiritually, I've already got barcode hair.
Shin: Forget spiritually, you've seriously got a barcode hair on your head!
Gin: I'm tired. After week after week of building bamboo screens, my hair's gotten a little disheveled and so maybe I'll loaf around a little.
Kagura: Yes. It's been 9 years already so I've even learned standard Japanese by now.
I'm worn out, so I'm not gonna keep up with that 'Yes?', 'Yes?' stuff.
Shin: I can't believe what this girl is saying nooooow!!

Page 9:
Kagura: I'm tired of keeping up that lie about myself!
Shin: Why do you have a barcode toooo?!!
Wh... What're you doing, you guys?! Can you still call yourselves the main character and heroin of a shounen manga?!!
Gin: Shut up. Everything's just a pain in the ass now.
Shinpachi: Th... This is bad. Their motivation has already been completely sucked away by that evil kotatsu.
I've gotta find a way out of here fast or I'll end up with a barcode, too.
Forget the image, the continuance of the manga is at stake here...
I've got to find some way to call for help.
!!
(SFX- PINPOOOHN Doorbell)
Shin: Someone's here!! Sorry, could you please help uuus!!
We're stuck and can't move right now!! You can let yourself in!!
Zura: What's wrong? Did something happen. Shinpachi-kun?
Shin: Katsura-san!!
SFX: ZAH

Page 10:
Zura: Wh... What is going on in here?!
Gintoki, you bastard! A warrior like you is spending New Years in such an idle state?! For shame!!
Shin: Katsura-san, please listen to what we have to say.
Katsura: Silence!! Save your excuses!
Shin: You've got it wrong! Please, just listen.
Here's the what happened, Katsura-san.
Zura: It's not Katsura.
It's Zura.
(TN- You guys know what this means right? I don't need to explain it right? It's a 9 year old joke and it's been in every other chapter of the manga. Well, regardless, zura means wig. So when he's saying "It's not Zura" he's saying "it's not a wig". This is the opposite.)
Zura: Heeew. It's chilly out there.
Shin: He went barcode in a millisecooooond!!
You bastard, why don't you listen to people when they talk?!
And why did you head straight into the kotatsuuu?!!

Page 11:
Shin: And what's with that gross barcode?!!
Zura: He~~~w I was really frozen out there. Joui activities in the winter truly are relentless.
Well, to be honest it's not just winter. Recently my body itself hasn't been able to keep up with the Joui activities.
My hips hurt and my insurance doesn't cover it. And I've been being followed around by a weird monster, that Sanjyou Iku.
(TN- Sanjou iku means "Go for a visit" and the two middle kanji are the kanji from Joui.)
Shin: Who is this old maaan?!!
Zura: Honestly, I'm jealous of you, Gintoki. I wish I had proper employment like you.
Gin: Naw, it's the same everywhere. We're in a recession.
Shin: Heeeey, what kinda old men class reunion is this?!!
Zura: When we were in class together the only one who'd do well was Sakamoto. Takasugi was always getting into trouble.
Speaking of which, his family was pretty well off to begin with. I guess even if we work really hard, we can't beat the rich.
Gin: It's because of that sorta thing that I've been thinking about what I'll do for the future, and I decided I'd temporarily go back home to the kotatsu.
Shin: What do you mean go home to the Kotatsu? Why're you acting like it's the house you grew up in or something?
Zura: But how do we settle things with Takasugi?
Gin: Takasugi? I've been wondering who that was for a while now. He barely ever appears so I totally forgot.
How about that idea? We just write mean things about him on the bulletin board and call it done with.
Shin: What kind of way of settling things is thaaat?!
Zura: Year, you're right. Meeting up with him and having a Joui-Past arc or something would be all kinds of troublesome.
Have you been thinking about it?
Gin: Like hell I have. What about you?
Zura: What happened in our past anyway?
Gin: I know, right~~
Shin: SHUT UUUUUP! JUST SHUT UP ALREADYYYY!!
What kind of outrageous things are you saying now?!! It can't stay like this! If nobody does anything this manga will collapse!!
Someone, heeeeelp!!

Page 12:
Tae: Huh? What's wrong, Shin-chan. You're shouting.
Kyuubee: Did something happen?
Shin: Sisteer!! Kyuubee-san!!
Someone: Well, it's new years so we thought we'd have a fun little get together.
Shin: WHERE?! All we've got going here is barcode hell!!
Sister, please don't come any closer!
If you go under this kotatsu you won't be able to get back out! And it'll suck out your motivation. Even our heroine ended up like that!
Tae: Why didn't you say so soooner?!!
(SFX- GASHAAN)
Shin: ...Eh? Since when has this old man been here...?
Tae: You really can't do anything. I'm always getting stuck with jobs like this. What the hell were you thinking, dammit?!
Shin: S-Sisteeer?!! Just what did you become?!! You seem like more of an old man than the old men!!
(SFX- DOKO DOKO Pouring)

Page 13:
Shin: And anyhow, why does nobody listen when people talk to them?!
Kyuubee: Ta... Tae-chan!
Shin: Kyuubee-san, you're the only one I can count on. Please, do somethiiiing!!
Kyuubee: We can finally be together as man and woman now!!
Shin: Like hell you caaan!!
Now we've got two more old men lined up! What now?! What's gonna come of this?!!
(Written: I failed...)
Tae: Now, now. Let's forget about that men and women stuff today and just relax.
Shin: Men and women? You've all turned completely into old men!!
Kyuubee: But I'm filled with a wondrous feeling. Kotatsus are really mysterious.
It's like by being under a koatsu with Tae-chan like this, it doesn't matter if we're men or women anymore.
Shin: Like I said, you're old men.
Tae: Me, too... I kind of don't feel like restoring the dojo doesn't matter anymore.
Shin: But kotatsus and dojos have nothing to do with eachother!!
Tae: To be honest, around volume 20 or 30 I felt like I was at my limit.
About all this about dojos and little brothers...
Shin: Why're you saying that kind of still-need-to-pee sorta thing with such a refreshed face?!

Page 14:
Kagura: Ah, it must be really hard to carrying child at such a young age.
Shin: Who has a child?!
Kagura: He says "Let's revive the dojo together" but he doesn't let his big sister sell his body one bit.
Shin: Please don't say anything that might damage someone's reputation!
Gin: According to the rumors, the kid's got some job doing who knows what where he basically just plays around and day.
And it's not such a baby-bump that she's got, but a THUMP.
Shin: And you're the president of that who-knows what job!!
Gin: What's he mean he's learning the way of the samurai? What kinda frivolous thing is that?
Normally people who say they wanna be musicians and then go perform live on the street without taking a single audition are pretty irritating, ain't they?
Shin: What's wrong with doing live shows on the street?! I'll kill you!!
Kagura: If you're going to do something like that, you'd be better off slumping under the kotatsu and doing nothing.
Gin: She's right. Just go laze around under the kotatsu.
Shin: This is not gooood! The situation's just deteriorating!
Will no one save us?!
Kondou: Shinpachi-kun, there's no need to worry.
Shin: !!
Kondou: Because you're not the only one lazing around.
Shin: THAT'S WHYYYYYY?!
(SFX- FASA)

Page 15:
Shin: Forget getting saved, the two people least likely to save anybody have shown up!
Two people who've been barcode butlers since the day they were been born!
Kondou: I've had enough with being a stalker, too.
We thought we'd graduate from all that.
Shin: And this is coming from two people who popped out from under a kotatsu?!
Sacchan: I've sorta just realized recently. Whenever I appear, there's always a face like he's been waiting a little while for me on that man's face.
Shin: Nobody's waiting for somebody like you!
Sacchan: The moment I saw that, I suddenly felt like I was being chilled by something.
Kondou: Ah, I see. That way the positions are reversed.
We're always on the chasing side, but when we're being chased by them something feels wrong.
Shin: Nobody's chasing you, I said! And seriously, for a while now why has everyone been talking like it's a meeting of girls even though everyone's got a barcode up top?!
Zura: I see. So you're tired of both the chasing side and the being chased side.
Shin: And what're you doing trying to act cool, trying to make all your crimes go away?!
Zura: Then let's just forget everything today and laze around together.
Kondou: You're right. Today, we're not Shinsengumi or Joui Patriot. Today, we're
The Laze Around Corps.
Shin: That's not good at all!! You're just both becoming human failures!!

Page 16:
Hase: Ooh, everybody's here.
Shin: !!
Someone: Ow~~~~ You're so late, Hasegawa-san!
Shin: Why does he have a barcode BEFORE he's gotten under the kotatsuuuu?!!
Just how unmotivated are you aaall?!
An wait, what do you mean he's late? Do you guys have a network of human failures or something?!
Tae: Okay, now that everyone's here, let's laze around!!
Shin: What's going on nooow?! What are these doing right for the first chapter of the year?!

THAT'S IIIIT!

(SFX- DOTABATADOTABATA GYAAA GYAA)

Just letting you know, the "Meteor Garlic" is a special preparation ingredient.

Live: Eating combination...
In other words, the "cooking method" for the "Poison Potato"...?
you know it...!? Heavenly King Coco...!!
Komatsu: ..........
"Solanin"----- [quote in White]
Komatsu: It's a poison found in the tubers and such in ordinary potatoes,
but the "Poison Potatoe's" poison is a new kind of poison called "Neo-Solanin"...
0.01 milligram of it is a lethal dose. It has a toxicity of about 40,000 times that of normal solanin...
Neosolanin has a special characteristic where a little bit of heat or other stimulus can alter its shape and properties.
Because it fills the entire potato, complete removal of it has hitherto been impossible.
Coco: The one way to cook it is to alter the properties of the poison to make it as weak as possible...
If you do that beforehand, you can eat it without dying. It requires skills, but if you learn them it takes barely any cooking time.
However, while that weakened poison may not be powerful, but for people with an addictive nature it causes a serous reaction.
Because that method also limitlessly deteriorates the potato flavor, it's not recognized as a cooking method...

Page 4:
Live: You sue know a lot...
about "poison", don't you...?
Coco: I'm well aware that in the underworld society you buy and sell memory data of high quality ingredients.
So of course you could easily get the data to weaken the potato's poison...
However, depending on the combination of foodstuffs you've eaten, even the weakened poison can regain its original powerful poisonous effect...
Did the high-priced data you bought not have that information with it?
Live: It did... [This part is big. The next part's in the same bubble.]
If I recall, it was the antigens contained in shellfish and and also strong alcohol...
and the toxin contained in the "Electric Banana" which I ate last would... [quote big and bold.]
react only with the weakened poison of the "Poison Potato" and bring about a severe allergic effect...
"Gold Shrimp", "Summer Whiskey", "Electric Banana"... when did you come up with...
this order...?
SFX: GIRI
Coco: After you ate the "Golden Shrimp"...
After that it hit on me to confirm this for the "Poison Potato"...

Page 5:
Live: After I ate the "Golden Shrimp"...
You had no guarantee I would completely eat the "Summer Whiskey" or the "Electric Banana", right?
Coco: ..........
With regards to the "Summer Whiskey" we had eaten it completely once ourselves...
So I purposely sent that to you as an attack on your pride...
Humans with paper-thin content of character always have the thickest prides...
I was certain you would drink it...
Live: .............
After that there was a possibility I would fight the "Wisdom Panda"... [quote bold]
If I had taken the 250 minutes, the majority of the alcohol would have been digested...
Coco: ......Before that point, among the 12 ingredients you had possessed,
it was clear that the only high capture level ingredient was the "Rockmadillo", just that one species. [quote bold]
Aside from that, even if you had difficult cooking to do, the capturing of the ingredients themselves was always easy...
Coco: Your tendency of finding fighting strong wild beasts as troublesome was obvious...
Far from it, in your state where you were drinking your victory drink... Even if you had the strength to beat it
I thought you would pass on the "Wisdom Panda".
Live: At that point, there was a turnabout in the points... So from the remaining cards...
I had no choice but to eat the "Electric Banana", then...
A little more......

:Page 6:
Live: I cannot accept that version of events at all...
Compared to my eating combination, the risk of the ingredients you made Toriko eat was too high...
A little more...
Toriko: I told you, didn't I? Livebearer.
Live: !
Toriko: That for me, there isn't a single
miss-ingredient.
Live: Toriko!!
SFX: ZAH
Coco: The "Nitro Cherry" was a gamble for us, as well...
In fact, it became Toriko's eating combination that was troubling...
Before he could take on the "Nitro Cherry", first I needed to have the damage taken from the "Wisdom Panda"
to be recovered more efficiently, so we made his Gourmet Cells become active.

Page 7:
Komatsu: Because I steam-roasted the "Wisdom Panda" co it wouldn't lose any of its Vitamin B1 or other high-nutrient content,
and the "Garlic Crab" filled with Allicin after the Vitamin B1 was because I wanted to induce a high fatigue-recovery effect.
Of course, I also cooked it to make it taste better, too.
Coco: The food we ate right before the "Nitro Cherry", the "Dynamidragonfly"'s meat has the effect of neutralizing other explosive ingredients' effects.
And the goal with the "Troll Cheese" was that using its intense odor to numb the nose to protect him from the poisonous vapors from the explosion...
Because Toriko's nose is too good...
Live: What? You decided to purposefully...
eat something that smelled awful...?
I didn't remove the detonation from the critical "Nitro Cherry" , I cooked in order to bring out the greatest potential savoriness.
I believed that Toriko-san's cells would hold out with that savoriness as a provision...
Though this was all Coco-san's advice...
Coco: After that, restoring the strong cardiac action after eating the "Numblemon" was our goal...
Toriko: So those last 3 consecutive beasts were for recovery...?
Coco: No, those were different...
Toriko: !
Match: ..........
These guys are incredible...

Page 8:
Match: This isn't something you can do by thinking things through normally...
To actually eat "Nitro Cherries"...
Coco: Now,
Draw your cards, Livebearer.
You can try to weaken the potato's poison, but no matter how you try to cook it otherwise...
it will be the death of you...
Live: ......
All right.
I think I'll eat...
the "Poison Potato"!
Idiots... Taking all that time to politely explain their worthless strategy...
While you were spouting that bullshit plan...
SFX: KACHI KACHICHI

Page 9:
Live: I was...
completing preparations...!!
Cutting-off off the sense of pain----
And also coating the inner wall of all of the digestive organs from the esophagus to the rectum...
with a *biodegradable plastic----
Now the poison won't be absorbed into my body!!
Who gives a fuck about eating combination!?
SFX: KAA
Asterisk: *A material that will eventually be broken down by microbes.
Live: I'm the king of underworld society!!
Even from the start, this game
was a farce playing in the palm of my hand!!
SFX: KYAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'll eat it...!!
The "Poison Potato"...!!
Coco: I forgot to mention one thing...
When you were drinking that "Summer Whiskey"
you also ate a snack to go with the alcohol, right...?
Live: !

Page 10:
Coco: The one vegetable compatible with "Summer Whiskey", "Cheese Chinese Cabbage"... [quotes in white]
A large amount of microbes settle inside that.
Because of the work done by the large amount of microbes in the "Cheese Chinese Cabbage" the alcohol is also broken down.
Live: .............
So...
What are you saying...?
Coco: I'm trying to tell you that anything of the level of biodegradable polymers or plastics...
would be easily broken down by those microbes...
Live: Eh!?
SFX: ZUAAAAA
SFX: DORO DORO
Coco: I told you.
Your eating combination was bad.

Page 11:
Live: H... How...
Did you know there was coating inside my organs...?
Coco: You have the unbalanced diet of originally eating ingredients as data from the brain.
You have no interest in the actual taste or nutrients, do you?
It was within my calculations that you would put some membrane on your stomach and intestines as a countermeasure against dangerous ingredients and block off the taste and components of the ingredients.
Live: Are you trying to get me to believe that even the fact that I would eat "Cheese Chinese Cabbage" as a snack to go with the alcohol was within your calculations?
Coco: I didn't know that Komatsu-kun would use that as a companion snack as well...
But your leering at Komatsu-kun was quite plain.
I thought that you would mimic it,
seeing it as a hint to a good snack to go with alcohol.
Live: ...Gu...
GUNUuU...
Coco: Now, the talking is over.
Will you eat it, or won't you?
Live: HUUUUUUUUU
HUUUUUUUU
Th...
This can't be...
Pa...
Pass...
How could I......

Page 12:
Announcer: Livebearer announces a give-up, so the turn switches.
Coco: .............
I pass as well.
Announcer: AAAAH, Team Coco Toriko Komatsu also does a give-up!!
Live: To bastards like theeeeeese...
UGU
GUU...
Announcer: The turn switches once again!!
Coco: With you having done one give-up already...
you no longer have any path but to eat it...
SFX: ZUGAAAN
I...
SFX: OOOO
Live: I won't accept it...
Me... Lose...?
Such a thing cannot be...

Page 13:
Match: If you don't eat it,
that's your 2nd give-up.
Livebearer,
you lose.
Live: KIIIieEEeE
HA...a...aaA
Fine...
I don't care...
Fuck the game...
You guys!
SFX: BABAH
SFX: DODON

Page 14:
Live: HIHIHIHI
I may have lost or whatever...
But regardless, you guys will...
never get awaaaaay.
Hihihihihi.
Coco: Of course, this is within my calculations...
That's why I said "the talking is over".
Match: You all!!
Yakuza: Yes, sir!!
Boss!!
SFX: ZAH
Match: We wanted to use force from the beginning.
Leave the small fries to us.
In exchange...
I'll leave that basket case to you.
SFX: KIIIIIII BIRI BIRIBIRI

Page 15:
Toriko: Hehheh. He finally shows his true colors.
Coco: Toriko.
Toriko: !
Those last three consecutive ingredients were...
preparation to eat the very very last ingredient.
Toriko: Coco...
Coco: You'll eat it, right?
The "Poison Potato"!!
Komatsu: There are still ingredients left...!
Let's eat them and not leave one left!!
SFX: ZU...
Toriko: Was it that obvious?
SFX: NIH (Grin)
Coco: Toriko, you cover Match and the others.
Toriko: Hm?
Coco: I'll deal with him.
I've been sitting this whole time, and my body's feeling rusty.

Page 16:
Live: EHEH
EHEHE
Coco: Maybe you would've had a better chance to win...
trying your luck with the game, huh?
SFX: DON
SFX: KARA KARA
Komatsu: S...
Sorry for the wait...
Toriko: !
Komatsu: The final ingredient of "Gourmet Tasting"...
the "Poison Potato"! [quote in white]
Toriko: Komatsu!!
SFX: KARA KARA

Page 17:
Komatsu: B... But, Toriko-san...
I'm sorry, I couldn't remove the poison after all...
There's still a considerable amount of poison inside...
Toriko: I don't mind.
I told you, didn't I? To me, there are no miss-ingredients.
I'll never leave anything on my plate.
Komatsu...
that goes double for any cooking you made.
Now...
This is my first time eating this...
It's our complete victory!
Itadakimaaasu.
AAH

Toriko: !!
SFX: GYUIII
SFX: MIKI BICHI
Komatsu: WAWAH
Coco: ..........
I thought so...
The "Poison Potato" was...
an ingredient compatible with you, Toriko...
Your evolved Gourmet Cells negated the poison!!

Page 19:
Toriko: From the beginning, I had a feeling...
that somehow, I would be able to eat it...
Komatsu: Toriko-san!!
I'm so glad!!
Match: ...... Geez...
What a guy...
Toriko... He's headed higher and higher...
to greater heights as a Bishokuya...
Toriko: But even so, Komatsu... I think after all, I could enjoy eating that poison
thanks to your cooking!!
Komatsu: Ah, no I didn't do that much...
Side: The card game, it was a feast!!
Toriko: Livebearer, you said something like this to me, right...?
That you wouldn't mind forming a combo with me...?
Sorry, but I've already got
the ultimate combo right here!!
SFX: DON
Toriko: Now, let's get to our goal ingredient.

A hit on the super special preparation ingredient the "Nitro Cherry"!!! [quote in white.]
Title: Gourmet 168 Coco's Aim!!
Coco: We need to eat this or...
Komatsu: We can't win...
Side: If the line between life and death lies in front of a delicacy, then bet your life to eat across it------!!
Live: HM~~~~~ could it be you plan to eat it?
Caaaaaaan you eat iiiiit?
Announcer: The time limite to eat it completely is
"10 minutes"!!
Sign: Kitchen
SFX: KOPO KOPO
Coco: Understand, Komatsu-kun?

Page 4:
Coco: The stable temperature for the Nitro Cherry is 6 °C.
While maintaining that temperature you need to detach the layers through the boundary points.
I'm quite sure that was the way to cook the Nitro Cherry.
And during that time, you mustn't apply even a small shock to it...
Komatsu: It... It's impossible...
There isn't nearly enough time!!
Announcer: Remaining time to eat completely is 30 seconds!!
Komatsu: I can't...
Coco-san... We'll have to take a give-up here after all...
Coco: Not being able to disarm the explosion in time is within my assumptions...
What Komatsu-kun needs to do is...
Toriko: Out of the way, Komatsu!
Komatsu: !!
To... Toriko-san...
Announcer: 10 seconds remain!!
Toriko: It's just about meal time.

Stay strong, Toriko...!!
Toriko: GAHAH...

Be sure to thoroughly savor it, Toriko...

Page 7:
SFX: HAAA HAAA
Toriko: Livebearer...
Live: !
Toriko: There are no hits or misses with ingredients...
Without exception, every one of them is a blessing from nature...!!
Narration: The organs...
that had been destroyed by the explosion...
SFX: ZAH
SFX: GUAH
Toriko: For me...
all ingredients are hits!!
Narration: At a miraculous speed, the gourmet cells which had absorbed the "deliciously cooked" Nitro Cherry attempted to regenerate.
Komatsu: Okay!!
We need to hurry...!!

Page 8:
Live: MUNI~~~~ They're all hits? Oh, what a worrisome statement!
Maybe all the ingredients I've every eaten were misses?!
In that case I'm really looking forward to Toriko's memories~~~
Just as I thought...
SFX: JYURU
Live: HAAAA You alone is plentyyy
SFX: BOTA BOTA
Coco: The "Nitro Cherry" is a "Joker Ingredient"... ["Joker Ingredient" in white]
I'm calling for a trade.
Live: !
Yes.
Of course.
HAH
HAH
Coco: I'll take the "Numblemon" from you. [quote in bold.]
And we'll submit from our side...
The "Wisdom Panda". [quote in white.]

Page 9:
Announcement: Aaah, astounding! Team Coco Toriko Komatsu [First sentence big/bold.]
Live: Ooh.
Announcement: The trade is the "Numblemon" for 200 points and presenting the "Wisdom Panda" for 250 points!!
Once again, he doesn't pick a 10-point junk card, he submitted a high-point valued ingredient-----!!
Match: Coco...
If he finishes eating that...
it'll be impossible to stage a comeback.
Coco: .........
Live: You rea~~~~lly wanna make me do a give-up, don't you~~?
I've read you...
SFX: HICC
Live: I know what ingredient...
you want to make me eat in the end...
Idiot.
Do you think
that I can't beat the Wisdom Panda?
SFX: GOGOGO

Incredibly, they've successfully staged a turnabout!!
Scores: Coco Toriko Komatsu
Livebearer
Komatsu: Toriko-san, are you okay!?
Toriko: Komatsu...
When I have food on my plate
I don't leave any left even if it kills me!
HAAAA
HAAAA

Page 11:
Toriko: But... This ingredient...
And Komatsu's cooking...
Match: No way, for there to be a turnabout here...
Coco... did you predict that he would pass?
B...
But...
Announcer: Because Team Coco Toriko Komatsu have had 3 consecutive hits and eating completions,
the turn switches to Livebearer!!
Live: For this game...
This is the first time I've had this much fun.
And...
Number 5.
That's the whole ball game.
Number 31.
Announcer: There it iiis! He gets a hit on the "Electric Banana" for 180 points----!!
Because Livebearer has given up, if he can't eat this he loses!!
Match: A narcotic ingredient...
Could it be...
he'll eat it?!
Live: Uhi
UHIHIHIHI

Page 12:
Live: YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!!!
"Electric Banana" is one of my favorites that I eat all the tiiiiime!!!

Komatsu: There are still ingredients left...!
Let's eat them and not leave one left!!
Toriko: Komatsu...
Live: ..........
What did...

Coco: There are still cards remaining...
That's what he said...
Match: Coco...
Live: You still...
intend to continue?
Coco: It's your turn to draw.
So hurry and pick your cards.
Live: So he's saying...
he can still find a way to win in the remaining cards...?
But to begin with...

Page 14:
Live: You guys were fucked in the first plaaaace!
Number 21
Number 27
Announcer: It's an out. The turn switches!!
Live: I don't need any ingredients anymoooore!!
I'll give all the ones leeeeeft!
If you can eat them,
that is. [Heart]
HEAHHYAHHYAH!
HYAHHYAH!
SFX: HYAH HYAH
Coco: ............
I'm truly...
SFX: HYAH HYAH HYAH HYAH
Coco: glad...
You're acting just as I predicted...
Match: !
Coco: Toriko!! Komatsu-kun!!
This is the final sprint!! Please eat all of it!!
Toriko: Right!!
Komatsu: Leave it to us!!

Page 15:
Announcement: Team Toriko Coco Komatsu eats the 50 point "Rock Lizard" completely!!

Livebearer
Toriko: Ooh... This is...
My... My wounds are...
Announcer: With 3 consecutive hits and complete eating completions,
and with 1 card type remaining.
the turn switches to Livebearer!!
Live: I knew it~~~ [Heart]
And that iiis...
The big-miss card that you guys wanted me to make me eat so so much...
The "Poison Potato". [quote in white]
It's true that it's the worst of the miss cards.
Normally here I'd have to give up and it'd be the end of the match. Is that what you envisioned?
Coco: ..........
But I've got some bad news for you.
The reason you guys were fucked from the beginning is...

Page 16:
Live: There isn't a single ingredient in this Gourmet Casino
that I can't eat.
Any kind of special preparation ingredient,
any kind of wild beast,
I have the ways to capture and cook them right here in my head.
So do you get it?
From the beginning
you've been fighting a losing battle.
Match: We're beat----
That abomination...
Live: So, Coco...
your cool judgement, Toriko's frightening appetite...
Coco: ......
Live: and...
that chef's exceptional talent,
despite being my enemies, you all played admirably.

Page 17:
SFX: DARA
Live: Rest easy.
SFX: DARAAAA BOTA BOTA (Dripping)
Live: Even if your brains are emptied
it's not like you'll die or anything.
In fact, just imagining someone like Toriko-chan with an empty head is so cute.
Enough for me to want to let him form a combo with me.
Toriko: ..........
Live: This is bliss----
Memories are "life" itself.
To have your memories erased
is equivalent to that person's life being taken...
This is true victory...!
And for me, that is
the ultimate pleasure----!!
SFX: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Coco: I knew that.

Page 18:
Coco: The fact that you could eat all of the ingredients,
I knew it from the beginning.
Live: !
Hm?
Coco: Yes.
Someone who cheats so calmly...
would never purposefully put ingredients into the game that you couldn't eat.
Live: .........You knew...
and you're saying you thought you had a chance of winning?
Coco: The ways to cook special ingredients...
Were things you had taken from other people's minds, after all...
Even if how to eat them are in your memories...
the order you would eat the ingredients today would not be in your memories... ["order" in italics.]

Page 19:
Live: Hmm~~?
The order...
I ate them?
----------!!
Coco: You knew the way to eat it, right?
So why don't you hurry up and eat it...
The final ingredient...
However...
it'll be the last one you eat in your life...
Live: Y...
You can't mean...
This guy... From the beginning, it was this...!?
He was aiming for the worst "combination of foods" [quote in white]
to go with the Poison Potato-----!!?
Aide: With an underhanded trick, a return check!!

Middle Insert: Run to Gon's side!!
Title: No.328 ◆ Arrangements
Killua: It's another 40 kilometers to the next town.
I should be able to make it...
Alluka, there's gonna be another slight tingle.
Alluka: Okay, I'll be fine!!
Tsubone: !
Killua: "Kanmuru"!!
Denkousekka!!
TL Note: Denkousekka = Lightning Speed

Page 2:
Tsubone: Hooooh, truly amazing!
To be able to take off at that speed from a paved road, I can't catch up to him alone.
Amane, it's me.
Killua-sama is heading toward Parasta.
Please come along the road.

Page 3:
Amane: Kanaria,
come with me.
Using grandmother's "motorcycle",
both of us riding together would be fastest.
Kanaria: ?
!

Page 4:
Kanaria: This is...
Amane: It's Grandmother.
Hold on tight.
We'll be moving using our aura.
It should be more tiring than running on your own, so prepare yourself.
Here we go!!

Page 5:
Kanaria: ..........
Amane:!
Found them.
Killua: !!

Page 5:
Killua: Seriously?!
I may be carrying Alluka, but I'm using "Denkou Sekka" at full power!!
Dammit!
If I go this way,
they won't be able to follow on a bike!!

Page 6:
Amane: What should we do.
Tsubone: We get ahead of him.
Amane: Where?
Tsubone: With Killua-sama's speed, he'll reach Parasta in less than 10 minutes.
Even by car, it will take over 20 minutes for Illumi-sama to get there. What do you think he will do in this 10 minute interval?
Amane: ......Disguise himself...?
Tsubone: BZZZZ!
How cute. Though that may not be completely out of the question.
What is Killua-sama's most preferred way to throw us off?
Amane: By contact with his comrades?
Tsubone: Ding-ding! Then...
What method would he use to be to call them while making sure his actions won't get leaked to us?
Amane: Um, he would first confirm the presence or absence of any transmitters or listening devices and use a stranger's cell phone...
Tsubone: That's basic!! Think about the core of the current situation!!
For example, even if we know "Killua is there",
if we can't get close, we have know way to confirm it. What then?!
Amane: .....
Kanaria: Ah.
Tsubone: Figured it out?
Now, let's go!!

Page 7:
Killua: HAA
HAA
Amane: We've been waiting for you.
Killua: Dammit...
You guys are pretty good.
Amane: We've finished making the blimp arrangements.
Killua: Ah, really?
How many blimps?
Amane: Eh?
Killua: Based on that reaction, one.
Are you guys serious?
Unless you borrow at least 5 or 6 to split up and make the destination unclear, we'll never beat Illumi----!!
Hurry and split up to get the procedures done!!

Page 8:
Kanaria: Is this an okay destination for this blimp?
Amane: Yes.
Kanaria: Even if it's unmanned, unless we pay enough for two people, we'll be found out.
Amane: I know.
Do you think I don't know what I'm doing? [Small, handwritten in the bubble.]
Kanaria: How do you read this?
Amane: Ask the receptionist!
Kanaria: What should we use for registrant names?
Amane: Would you just think on your own a little?!
..........
Where's Killua-sama...?
..........
Oh no-----!!
Ah!!!
You purposely asked me all those things, didn't you?!
To let him get away!! [Written on page]
Kanaria: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Amane: Geez!! Hurry, let's catch up to him!!
Kanaria: Leave it to me.
Amane: Huh?!
Kanaria: I'll ride in one of the several blimps I'm arranging.
So if we also chase after him on the ground we'll have two tails on him. So be careful.

Page 9:
Amane: What're you talking about?!
If you follow a blimp in another blimp, that one will stand out, won't it?!
Kanaria: It won't.
It'll work as a decoy, too. And we're going to meet up with Gotoh, so moving in a blimp would be more convenient.
......
Amane: ?
What?!
Kanaria: Your honest face is kinda cute, you know.
Do you think Killua-sama like you that way better, too?
Amane: A... Are you making fun of me?!
Kanaria: Not at all.
I'm being honest.
Amane: .............
Kanaria: Gotoh...

Page 10:
Killua: Hello.
It's Killua.
Morau: Hey, what's up? I was worried.
I haven't been able to get a hold of Gotoh-san.
Killua: Okay. I'll try calling him, too.
Morau: ......!!
A big brother would do that to his younger brother...!?
Killua: Yeah.
The only one who can bring Gon back to normal is Alluka.
But Big Brother is trying to kill Alluka.
It's because in exchange for making my "wish" come true
my whole family could die.

Page 11:
Hisoka: ......
You're late------ [Spade]
What if we just waited to ambush him at the hospital?
Illumi: The closer we get to the hospital the greater the chance of the assassination failing.
Killua's comrades are wandering around there.
If we show him any leeway, it'll give him a feeling of uneasiness.
8 blimps, huh...? It seems we're really going to need some helping hands-----
Hisoka: Do you have any comrades you can call?
I'm kinda shy, though. [Spade] [Handwritten]
Illumi: No, none.
Of those. [Handwritten, in bubble.]

Page 12:
Illumi: It's more than the situation calls for, but
I guess I'll use these needles-----
Hisoka: Oh~~~ [Music note]
Those are emitting a nice aura------[Heart]
Illumi: Whomever are pierced with these will do their best to follow orders until they die.
Or rather, until they try too hard and die.

Page 13:
Morau: "Wish" huh...?
That's certainly a vaguely fearful ability...
But it would seem to be something you can use happily if you're the one deciding how to use it.
Killua: Illumi is probably tailing the blimp from the ground.
And my butlers have sent off 7 dummy blimps.
Big Brother doesn't use comrades by his nature,
so he'll use "needle humans".
Morau: Needle humans?!
Killua: By using special needles imbued with his Nen,
he creates soldiers that will work until they die.

Page 14:
Killua: He'll use ordinary people as the sacrifices.
Illumi's powerful aura will be poured into them through the needles
and the moment they're pierced they'll become like invalids...!
I need you to solicit Hunters to collect the needle humans, Morau.
If there's proof that the many civilians he's using are beyond hope of recovery...

Page 15:
Killua: is it okay for Big Brother to hunt them, even as a pro Hunter?
Morau: ......
Narration: Article 4 of the 10 Hunter Articles.
Hunters may not target fellow hunters. However, that restriction is does not extend to those that have committed exceedingly malignant crimes.
Killua: I'm sure there were Hunters among the candidates that are advocating revising the 10 Articles and readjusting the Hunter Exams.
If they catch Illumi, there'll probably be a lot of people who'll align with those guys, the faction that don't want to have a chairman.
Morau: Killua... are you sure?!
You're "selling" your brother!!

Page 16:
Killua: I won't forgive anyone
who tried to hurt Alluka.
Whether it's my Big Brother
or anyone.
No matter what it takes,
I'll crush them.
Morau: .....
All right.
Teradein and Bushidora will probably readily consent to it.
And there'll probably be a lot of Hunters who'll gladly lend a hand.
In any case, this hospital you're aiming for
is in the same city as the Hunter Association Headquarters.

Page 17-18:
Morau: They're right next to each other.
However,
should I warn everyone that we have dangerous opponents?
The target isn't Illumi,
it's the capture of the needle humans, right?
Killua: Yeah.
That's fine.
Someone: I accessed the flight data from Parasta Airport.
There are six blimps landing within a 20~30 meter radius of the hospital.
Where Killua and the two butlers will land is unknown. Based on confirmed sightings of the enemy, we are sure he's tailing them.
Illumi and the needle humans will be watching the blimps while tailing them on land routes.
There are multiple points they'll reach before they'll approach the outskirts of Swaldani City where the hospital is.
There are places where we can ambush them, so we'll send Hunters there.
The top priority is "recovery of the needle humans"!!

Page 19:
People: It'll be fine to confirm the presence of the needles after!
Capture anyone who comes close to a blimp!!
Sirs!!!
Bushidora: As I thought!!
"The 4th of the 10 Articles" was fundamentally flawed!!
And now that this sort of fellow has appeared, it's too late!!
He's dishonored all of the association members!!
Teradin: We need more strictness in the exams!
If we sifted through them at the time they were entering
this sort of problem wouldn't arise!!
Guy: So the time's come... When we three, the one being called the faction for getting rid of the position of chairman
have pull on the association...!!

We've "separated" from Killua-sama.

Page 2:
Gotoh: Change the number of cars to 4 and use the same route as planned.
If you get contact from Killua-sama, follow all of his orders as long as it does not breech into prohibited matters.
Our movements have been leaked to Illumi-sama.
The butlers or perhaps the family have an ally...!
Observe very carefully as to what state he's in.
People: Roger.

Tsubone: Hoho.
The young master really has grown up.
If we didn't know about it in advance, there would be nothing we could do about that speed technique!!
He'll make a good assassin...
Oh my, my tear glands are loosening.
If he's gotten to be like this, then he won't even lag behind someone like Illumi-sama. Ooh, excuse me.
No matter how I try, I can't bring myself to like those two that take after their mother, Illumi-sama and Milluki-sama.
Now... then. I must put my personal feelings aside for now! If I were to disobey there would be a different story.
While calculating for that agility, I have to think of a means of quieting Killua-sama down.

Page 4:
Killua: ----Okay.
I guess having gotten this far away, we've got some room to breathe.
I'd like to keep firing off "Denkou Sekka",
but I'd better conserve electricity in case anything happens so I can be sure to reach a town-----
Alluka: Big brother......
Am I...
in the way...?
If I weren't here, would everyone
be able to get along better?

Page 5:
Killua: Alluka.
If the only one in the whole wide world who liked you
was your big brother, me... would you be sad?
Alluka: Heh
Ehehehehehehehe
I would be so happy I couldn't stop smiling!
Killua: Na...
Big brother's always gonna stay with you from now on.
You don't need to think
about anybody else.

Save your spare stamina for the mission.
Follow Killua-sama, both of you!!
I'll be playing with you.

Hisoka: An ability where you can rapidly fire coins with more force than bullets... [Clubs]
That's a power that you've only unveiled as a way to control your subordinates, huh? [Diamond]
Gotoh: My coins aren't as dull as to be able to be stopped without any wound.
Does this have to do with his ability?
Hisoka: My aura contains the properties of both gum and rubber. [Heart]

Page 11:
Hisoka: "Bungee Gum"!!
TL Note: Kanji reading = Elastic Love
Gotoh: Don't give too many spoilers.
You'll regret it, false magician.
Hisoka: There's no point to tell my name to a dead man. [Clubs]
So neither does it matter
if I reveal my ability. [Heart]
Gotoh: Prattle!!!

Page 12:
Hisoka: Catch [Heart] [This is the one on the bottom. The rest are SFX.]

Page 13:
Hisoka: I wonder if my eyes have gotten used to it, this being the second time?
Or maybe they're slower than last time?
Gotoh: Yeah.
They're considerably slower.
Hisoka: ?
Gotoh: Because I used
power on "rotation".

Page 14:
Gotoh: Would you like to keep your ability active and be strangled to death by your own aura?
Or would you rather have the bees' nest?
Die whichever way you'd like.

Page 15:
Hisoka: "Bungee Gum"......
Rescinded!!

Gotoh: He dodged it?!
From that stance...?!!

Page 17:
Gotoh: They're fast...!!
I can't keep up..!!
Hisoka: I shot the rubber out along with my first card attack... [Clubs]
So I would be in a state where if I rescinded the gum on my feet, I could enter fire them at any time... [Diamond]
Now then... It's time for the ill-tempered magician's grim reaper quiz... [Heart]
I received 22 coins you attacked me with, but...
how many cards have I passed to you so far?
Gotoh: Is he planning to use his rubber abilities
to shoot the coins back at me...?

This game...
At a glance, it seems like a battle for points, but...
That is not the case...
It's a battle to avoid the "big-miss" cards...

Page 5:
Coco: Though the game is called nervous breakdown, the reason the cards are numbered
is to purposefully make the ingredients' locations easy to remember. (Of course, the card locations are moved and substituted for the purpose of preventing cheating, but...)
In other words, getting hits is a presupposed rule for this game...

What's wrong?
Komatsu: Coco-san...
Coco: .............
Live: He purposely...
got out, huh...?
Did he make a mistake on his first draw? Or did he do it simply to check the point value?
Regardless, even if he knows which cards are hits, he doesn't know the cards' details...
That means divulged information about yourself...
The reason he went so far as to miss on the second card...
Heavenly King Coco... It would seem that you've understood the point of this game...
Yes... The heart of this game
is how to avoid retiring mid-way though...!!

Page 7:
Live: The cause of defeat for every team that's challenged me to "Gourmet Tasting"
is not from having the lower point total after all of the cards were drawn,
it's from drawing big-miss cards mid-way through the game and retiring..
The reason up to 10 people are allowed is to stave off retiring as much as possible...
Seeing the first card was "Electric Banana" and judging it would be difficult to eat completely,
he purposefully avoided a hit...
But knowing that...
You all's chances of winning are nil. [Heart]

Seeing me get outs, he plunged into getting big hits even more...

The cards he's intentionally avoiding...
Most likely, those are the worst big-miss cards...
Our way to prevail is there----!!
Now for the order...

I need you to do the cooking, Komatsu.
Komatsu: Okay! Leave it to me.
SFX: GUH GUH
Announcer: Eating cooomplete!! And 30 points earned!!
Toriko: Keep it rolling, Coco!!
Coco: All these skull images...
The cards he's avoiding are these...
I'll have to verify it...
Number 21.
Announcer: Number 21,

Page 12:
Announcer; !!
Th... This is...
A *"Poison Potato"!! A big-miss card!!
Asterisk: *Saitama Prefecture 大河原駿-san's work!!
Coco: -------!!
A...
A super special preparation ingredient----!!?
Komatsu: Poison Potato... That's the super-poisonous potato that no one in history has yet to successfully detoxify.
There's no record of even National Treasure Setsuno-san successfully detoxifying it...
Toriko: Hmm...
So you can't eat it?
Coco: Yes. It's impossible.
The poison potato's poison is said to have 20 times the lethality of the Puffer Whale.
It's a lethal poison even I don't have the antibodies for it.
Komatsu: And look. This is only 10 points...
It'll be impossible to detoxify the Poison Potato and eat it completely in just 10 minutes.
Coco: Truly a "miss" ingredient...
Toriko: Yeah...

Page 13:
Live: Oh my~~ That's an ingredient you really don't want.
I think even I'll abstain from that one.
Coco: .............
Match.
Number 24, please.
Match: !
No way...
You don't intend to make this a hit, do you, Coco...?
!!
This is...!!!
Announcer: The "Joker Card"!! It's the "Nitro Cherry"!! And what's more, this ingredient is also a super special preparation ingredient!! [quotes in white.]
Komatsu: Ni... Nitro Cherry... That's the cherry that'll explode with just a slight stimulus...
It's an ingredient that, if not cooked precisely right, there's an extreme danger of it exploding inside the body after being eaten.
Coco: And what's more, this card is 10 points...
A big-miss "Joker Card".
Announcer: Team Coco Toriko Komatsu get an out, and so the turn switches.
Live: Uhu, finally.
The cards we're choosing have gotten difficult.
Number 18 please.

Page 14:
Announcer: Number 18!!
And now another one has appeared!
A Joker Card!! The *"Wisdom Panda"!! [quote in white]
Coco: W... Wisdom Panda...?
That's Capture Level 80!! They even have something like this prepared here...!!? [First sentence big/bold.]
Asterisk: * "Wisdom Panda" (Hannya Panda) is Yamagata Prefecture's 阿部祐太郎-san's work!!
Announcer: However, this "Wisdom Panda" is a 250 point ingredient!!
It's a a Joker Card with points suitable for its capture difficulty!!
Live: Hmph.
How troublesome.
Number 12.
Announcer: Number 12!! *"Troll Cheese"!!
This is an out!! The turn switches!!
Asterisk: *"Troll Cheese" is Nagano Prefecture's Penname MAO-san's work!!

Page 15:
Komatsu: Th... That "Troll Cheese" just now... It's a cheese that releases such a powerful stench that you won't even be able to breathe.
It's an incredibly stinky inedible ingredient... And that's 10 points... I guess that was a big-miss card, too...
Toriko: So, he didn't make the "Joker" a hit.
Coco: He has a drastic lead in points right now.
There's no real merit for him to purposefully hit the joker card and doing a trade.
But more importantly, Troll Cheese, huh...?
And the Wisdom Panda...
Number 11.
Announcer: Number 11!! *"Sea Urchin Rat"!!
Asterisk: "Sea Urchin Rat" (Uni Nezumi) is Tokyo's Penname 界嶺 Hidenori-san's work!!
Announcer: This, too, has a high capture level, but is a big-miss card with only 10 points!!
Coco: ..........
Number 27.
Announcer: Number 27, *"Caesar Snake"!!
It's an out!! And this, too, is a big-miss card!!
Asterisk: *"Caesar Snake" is Niigata Prefecture's 渡近啓-san's work!!
The turn switches!!
Komatsu: Sea Urchin Rat and Caesar Snake are both strong wild beasts over Capture Level 50, but with only 10 points...
With them, now every type of card has appeared, but... All the remaining cards can't be handled using ordinary methods...

Page 16:
Komatsu: If we do actually hit them,
I'll be able to cook them, right...?
Coco: There are 9 remaining types of cards...
And the point difference is 850...
In order to cause a turnabout against him here...
Live: Numbers 11 and 21 please.
Announcer: Number 11 is "Sea Urchin Rat" and Number 21 is "Poison Potato", it's an out!!
The turn switches!!
Live: Uhu. You must be lost as for which you eat, huh~~? [Heart after the "Uhu".]

Page 17:
Toriko: That guy...
Purposely getting outs...
Coco: ..........
As I thought...
Having the advantage in points, he won't meaninglessly put himself in danger...
The first one to go out was me...
If I keep getting out, I'll get 10 outs first and lose...
But at any rate, I need to hit some card first or else.
Toriko.
Toriko: !
Coco: You're getting in on the match.
Toriko: Finally, huh?
Coco: Numbers 18 and 35!
Announcer: There it is! The "Joker"!! It's a hit on the "Wisdom Panda"!! [quotes in white.]
SFX: ZUN

Toriko; This is the first really strong enemy I've had in a while.
It'll be just right for getting the ball rolling for an upset...!!

you have no way of causing an upset~~ Uhu [heart]

Match: Coco...
He's truly amazing...
The 56 cards I chose were shuffled from several tens of sets of cards, and then randomly selected...
Furthermore, the numbers on the backs of the cards were replaced. Even I don't know which ingredients are under each number anymore...
So it's because of his overwhelmingly powerful eyesight that can capture electromagnetic waves...?
Or is it by his "fortune telling" he is able to see the future......? In either case,
in a gambling battle, there's no man more reliable.

Page 4:
SFX: GOGOGOGOGO
Live: It would seem
it wasn't a coincidence...
Coco: .............
Live: The chance of getting 3 consecutive hits in 56 cards is 14,8665 in 1.
That's a difficult figure for me to think this is a fluke.
So you know...
which cards are hits...?

Page 5:
Coco: You could say that...
for both of us, couldn't you?
Live: Uhu [Heart]
Like I thought, I have truly worthy opponents, it seems.
Dealer-san, number 32, please. ["Number 32" big.]
Komatsu: .....!!
Coco-san...
Both of you...?
Match: ............
Number 32, *"Sausage Worm"!!
Asterisk: *Akita Prefecture Penname Tonbo-chan-san's work!!
TL Note: Sausage Worm = Chouzume Worm
Live: Number 16.
Match: .........

Page 6:
Match: !!
Announcer: There it iiis, a hiiit!!
The high 50-point ingredient the "Sausage Worm"!!
Match: Like I thought...
I expected him to use some trick, but...
he did it this early?
Live: Understand? I have pride as a gambler.
I would not do such a worthless act.
Coco: That lie came out of his mouth as natural as exhaling breath.
From the beginning, he wasn't one bit picky about how he'd do this match.
All he is
is a parasite-like desire of lusts for memories.

Page 7:
Announcer: "Sausage Worm"!
Please finish it all.
SFX: GARA GARA WANE WANE
Live: I'm alone, so,
I'll be cooking and eating it myself. [heart]
Match: Yeah... Our guys have been keeping an eye on the kitchen's ingredient storehouse to make sure nothing unfair occurs.
Beyond that, as soon as we detect what trick he's using, we'll deal with it appropriately.
Live: Go ahead.
Be my guest.

Number 4.
Announcer: Number 4, *"Human-Faced King Trumpet Mushroom"!!
Asterisk: *Hokkaidou's Penname 祇園鮫-san's work!
Live: Number 36.
SFX: DON
Announcer: Number 36, "Human-Faced King Trumpet Mushroom"!!
This is another hiiiit!!
SFX: BAN
Komatsu: AAh...
Coco: .............
Toriko: Consecutive high-point ingredients...

Page 9:
Live: The higher the ingredients' points are,
the harder they are set to cook and eat completely.
SFX: KARA KARA
Live: And the time limit to finish eating them
SFX: AAAAAA
Live: Are the points x 1 minute...
In other words, the larger the difficulty of the ingredient, the larger the time allotted to eat it is.
Komatsu: .........
Live: However...
There are hits and misses among the cards.
Announcer: Eating complete!!
Live: There are in face ingredients with high amounts of points but are easy to cook and eat completely... And there is the opposite of that, as well...
Number 37 and 3, please.
Announcer: Number 37!! And also Number 3!!
This is a major win card! *"Melon Egg" and a hit!!
Asterisk: *Shizuoka Prefecture's 岡村海渡-san's work!!
Announcer: And he easily finishes eating it all!!
Livebearer has eaten 3 ingredients completely for a total of 220 points earned!! And now the turn changes!!

Page 10:
KomatsU: Aah...
Toriko: Damn...
He's suddenly got 220 points, huh...?
Signs: Coco Toriko Komatsu
Livebearer
Toriko: I'm counting on you, Coco...!!
Coco: In Livebearer's 3 consecutive hits
there was a trick used every time.
In contrast, Coco's hits
had no trick to speak of.
Coco grasped the slight difference in electromagnetic waves seething out of the cards.
Using that, he could sense the image of a characteristic "color" and "shape" for each one.
Narration: ■Synesthesia----
The phenomenon causes one to not just perceive the natural reception from a stimulus like hearing a sound or seeing a color, but perceive completely other kinds of sensations.

Page 11:
Narration: Using his synesthesia, Coco can easily discern electromagnetic waves and by forming them into images
he searches out cards that have the same "color" and "shape".
However, although this method can produce hits,
he cannot know the ingredient's "type" or "points". [quotes in bold.]
......But Coco...
Coco: Based on the total of 12 cards he and I have drawn so far...
I can now basically grasp which "images" are the high point cards.
He probably knows what points are assigned to each card...
So unless we keep attacking right from the outset, there will be a big difference in points.
Toriko... Komatsu-kun...
I'm the one counting on you two.
Somehow, finish eating them all!
Komatsu: R... Right!!
Toriko: You can count on us!
Coco: Number 23
and Number 44.

Page 12-13:
Announcer: There it iiiiis! This is *"Pudding Mountain"!!
The 150 point high-point ingredient!!
Asterisk: *Shizuoka Prefecture 袴田瞬-san's work!!
TL Note: Pudding Mountain = Purin Zan
Live: *Grin*
Someone: B...
But...
IT'S HUUUGE!!!
Komatsu: What the hell is this!?
Announcer: "Pudding Mountain", a gigantic ingredient the size of an actual mountaiiin!!
If this ingredient is not finished within 150 minutes, it's a give-up!!
SFX: DOOOOON PURUN
Live: NHUUUUUUHUHUHU. I wonder if you can finish that? ["NHUUUUUU" is big/curly font.]
Or would you like to make it your first give-up?
SFX: NIIII
Toriko: Don't be stupid.
Sorry, but pudding's my favorite!
I'll be really enjoying this one!!

Live: .........
Oh my...
SFX: MUSHA MUSHA MOGU MOGU
Coco: Toriko...
He's as much a big eater as ever...
SFX: GAH GAH CHURU CHURU
Komatsu: Toriko-saaan! If you eat too fast it'll cause your blood sugar to rise!
So in order to raise your rate of sugar absorption and help digestion, I'm going to add a little "Mineral Japanese Leek" as a sauce, okay!!?
TL Note: Mineral Japanese Leek = Mineral Rakkyou
And it'll add some flavor in a few places.
So you don't get sick of it before you're done, Toriko-san.
Live: ..........
narration: 30 minutes later----
Announcer: F...
Finiiiished!! Somehow...!! In only 30 minutes he consumed an entire mountain of pudding----!!
Komatsu: Toriko-san!!
Announcer: Team Coco, Toriko, Komatsu earn 150 points!!
SFX: UPUUUH
Coco: Let's keep it going.
Moving on, Number 38 and...
Number 2!

Page 16:
Announcer: Numbers 38 and 2!! Here it is, "Summer Whiskey"!!
With 50 points, this is also a high-point ingredient hit!!
Live: Are you sure about that?
Coco: Hm?
Live: After finishing one food, you're allowed a "5 minute" postponement before you have to draw the next card...
Wouldn't it be better to give Toriko a rest, even for just 5 minutes?
Coco: Rest?
You really don't know the man known as Toriko.
Toriko: BUWAAAH YUUUM!!
What a rich liquor!! My whole body feels like it's warming up!!
Another! Bring me more booze!!
Komatsu: Hey, Toriko-san, you've already drunk one bottle, so you're done.
Anyhow, please have some snacks to go with the alcohol.
Live: ......Ah?
No matter how big a drinker or big a man, you should be immediately drop-dead drunk after drinking "Summer Whiskey"......
Toriko (On Page): These are good.
Live: ..........

Page 17:
Announcer: And another consecutive hit, *"Bullet Acorns"!!
Asterisk: *Shizuoka Prefecture Penname Kaashi-san's work!!
TL Note: Bullet Acorn = Dangan Donguri
Announcer: The high capture level nut that's hard-as-iron and you can feel a vibration from which gets fired at the speed of a bullet!!
Toriko: Hm?
Komatsu: Toriko-san!!
SFX: DODODODON
Komatsu: When Bullet Acorns hit the ground the immediately grow poison sprouts,
so you need to catch them before they shoot into the ground!!
...!!
SFX: DODODODODODODO
Toriko: Is thus okay?
It's an easy task, really.
SFX: SHUUUU
Live: ..........

Announcer: Finished eating!!
Somehow, team Coco Toriko Komatsu earn 270 points in this round, totaling 310 points!!

Livebearer
Coco: Understand, Livebearer?
This is Bishokuya Toriko!!
Live: ...........
Well done.
All those ingredients and eating them without doing a single give-up...
And with room to spare...
I don't think I've ever seen this before...
And... Which opponent is it that I should really watch out for...?
I know that as well.
I am a chef as well, so I understand... For all the ingredients Toriko has eaten up to this point
this boy who has nonchalantly performed exquisite cooking----

Page 19:
Live: Toriko hasn't notice
the fact that he's been able to finished all of the food with it being delicious
is thanks to that boy's overflowing talent...
Even with only 6 items...
he can't hide his good sense...
SFX: JYURU
Live: I want a peek at them.... This boy's food history, knowledge, philosophy, beliefs...
Just where does this boy have his eyes on...?
The place this boy is looking may be far beyond the places Toriko and us see... That's the degree of talent he leads me to believe he has.
I'll definitely take it from him...
The contents of that golden brain...
Now...
It's my turn...
Side: The true colors of the devil Livebearer's desire is shown!!

Stand back! Stand back! The professor is tired!!

Please let me have an autograph~~~!!
SFX: SA SAH
People: Hooray~~~ He signed it for me!!
The Nobel Prize for physics you won recently was about the photoelectric effect,
but it also includes your ideas about special relativity and general relativity, correct?
Side: There are two infinite things. Space and human foolishness. Though I can't speak definitively about the former......

Einstein: Mm...... Because that can't be verified.
Title: Chapter 70 Opposing Billies

Page 3:
People: UWA~~~~ It's real! It's his real signature!!
So then, Professor Einstein, regarding Newtonian mechanics......
Einstein: I respect Newton, but he was mistaken......
In space there is a force of gravity that is not the force of attraction.
People: Is it true that in places where gravity differs, the progression of time changes?
Einstein: Most likely..........
In places where a strong gravity is measured, the speed at which time progresses is slower compared to entire places where lower forces of gravity are measured.
People: Is that true?!
Yes, and those are all the questions he'll be taking! Stand back-----!!
Einstein: Time is not constant in space.

Page 4:
Einstein: It's possible that if a large amount of mass is concentrated in limited space, then even light and time may be swallowed.
People: Light and time may be swallowed.........?
Einstein: In other words, space and space-time are in a continuum. Space-time isn't homogenous, it's warped.
People: Space-time is warped......?
So then if that warp were utilized, you could even go to the past or present?
Einstein: Yes, theoretically.
If you could produce a speed faster than light, there is a possibility you could go back in time.
People: HA~~~~~h...
Zofuu: Professor, could I have an autograph, too?
Could you write my name in it?
Einstein: Hm...... And your name is?

Page 5:
Zofuu: Zofu...... Make it to Karama Zofuu.
Einstein: Zofuu...... What an odd name.
Zofuu: It's a penname. I'm a mangaka.

It's absolutely terrible......
And what's most terrible is this......
This story about this Shimoyama man being killed.......

Page 8:
Devivie: You really have bad taste.
SFX: BASAH
Devivie: Hey...... Don't you think so yourself, Zofuu-sensei?
Zofuu: I'd say we both have bad taste. I've never seen such excellent rope typing technique........
Devivie: Zofuu-sensei,
aren't you ashamed?
This "Komori Kozo" series.
Don't you think this imitation is rude to Billy Bat?

Page 9:
Zofuu: Imitation? Take a look at last page from the first work of "Komori Kozo".
It was published in the 11th year of the Taishou era...... That's 1922 in anno domini.
The "Komori Kozo" series started in an age where no trace of Billy Bat existed.
Devivie: It really doesn't matter
which one came first.
Isn't that right?
It's which one is right.

Page 10:
Devivie: Now, looking at Culkin-sensei's "Billy Bat" here,
and your "Komori Kozo" here,
You can tell just from looking at them, can't you? Which one is right......
I have five daughters.
I could not show such a crude imitation to my daughters.
Zofuu: ...........

Page 11:
Devivie: Only this is the right one.
Only Culkin-sensei's "Billy Bat"! Do you understand?
Now then, first let's do something about these crude imitations...........
Ah...... This is really all of them, yes?
Zofuu: ...........
What are you planning to do?
Devivie: This is one of my jobs.
To walk around the world searching for imitations.......

Page 12:
Devivie: And burning them.
SFX: CHAH
Zofuu: !!
AAH!!
SFX: BOH
Zofuu: Stop, you idiot!! Those are all first editions I only have one copy of!!

Page 13:
Devivie: That's why I'm burning them.
It's something I've done many times by now.
Zofuu: Many times......?
Devivie: There are people like you that draw imitations, but......
In the past, many such people all around the world......
were found and those imitations were burned like this.
SFX: PACHI PACHI
Zofuu: Many people in the past......
Devivie: Yes.
A back ally second-hand bookstore in Europe...... And old warehouse in South America......
In archives storing historic book collections......

Page 14:
Devivie: They're there to find.
And I steadily find them and burn them.
Zofuu: My God......
Devivie: But I told you, didn't I?
Culkin-sensei's Billy is the only right Billy.
So the only Billy Bat around the world
will be Culkin-sensei's Billy Bat.

Page 15:
Devivie: Now, then..........
Next is what I do when I find people like you who've drawn such imitations.
This is another one of my jobs.
SFX: BINN
Devivie: I call thus job......
extermination.
SFX: KURUUN...

Page 16:
Zofuu: ..........!!
Devivie: This extermination job is very hard work.
Well, there aren't any enjoyable kinds of work that aren't.
Zofuu: Oh?!
Hey, you damn idiot!!? What are you trying to do?! Stop!!
Devivie: Yes, yes, please be quiet.
Zofuu: Like hell I will!!
Untie me dammiiiiit!!
Devivie: But both that and this are for Billy's sake.

Page 17:
Zofuu: GUOE!! Y......You idiot, GUE!!
SFX: GI GIH
Devivie: And for the children that love Billy.
Zofuu: GUE GUOE!!
Devivie: Ah..... Yes.
Are these really all of your "Komori Kozo"? You didn't entrust some to anyone, did you?
Zofuu: GUHO, GUE......
Devivie: Ah...... And there was one more thing I wanted to ask.
Zofuu: GUE
Devivie: Where is the scroll?

Page 18:
Zofuu: You've exposed yourself.
As I thought, that's what you're really after?
If anything happens to me, the location of the scroll will fall into the darkness.
Devivie: Like I thought, you do know where the scroll is......

Page 19:
Devivie: And you think you can use it as a bargaining chip to save your life.
It is not.
Zofuu: GUE!! OUH!!
SFX: GUIH
Devivie: I won't listen to any bargains.
You wouldn't say where the scroll was even under threat of death anyhow.
Zofuu: GUEGUO!!
If anything happens to me...... GEHOH!!
Devivie: Yes, yes.
Zofuu: Your...... your........
GUEH
I'll go back to the past............
and kill your parents!!

Page 20:
Devivie: Huh?
Zofuu: I'm saying what do you think will happen when I go back to the past and kill your parents?!!
Devivie: Pardon? [Gaijin-y font.]
Zofuu: It's still burning. Look at the sketchbook on the right edge!!

Page 21:
Devivie: A. Einstein............?
Zofuu: What do you think? It's real.
I met the professor directly and showed him the drawing of the bat.
What I'm saying isn't a threat or anything like that.
It was affirmed by Einstein.

Page 22:
Zofuu: When the professor saw the bat drawing, this is what he said.
Einstein: That's......

Page 23:
Please stop.
Zofuu: I knew it, you know this guy, too.
You've talked with this bat, too, huh?

Don't you think this is kinda weird?
Momochi: What? Aren't you moved by the way Abebe runs?
Jacky: No, what I'm asking is
where we are right now?

Page 4:
Momochi: Tokyo, obviously.
Jacky: Yes, Tokyo.
We're in Tokyo where the Olympics are being held right now.
So why are we watching them on this tiny TV screen?!!
Momochi: Well we can't really help it. Tickets for the Olympics are all sold out.
Jacky: Man, those Golden Cola guys are cheap.
If they're giving us this prize of a trip to Japan, I was hoping they'd spring for a nicer hotel.
Momochi: Really? I think this Japanese style is pretty nice.
Jacky: And these tatami mats are hard to sit on!!

Page 5:
Jacky: Haaaaah... Even if we try to go out into the city, it's totally crowded with tourists......
I wish we could've at least stayed at that new hotel with the rotating penthouse.
Title: Chapter 69 Two Simpletons

Page 6:
Jacky: You know that cartoonist, Kevin Yamagata?
He was on the same bus we left the airport from, right?
He got off at that Hotel New Otani place.
He's probably eating a delicious meal at a revolving restaurant.
Momochi: Well, he's a first-class cartoonist. So that much should be a given.
Jacky: First-class? Not right now he's not. What the hell was that "Fuji Pontarou" thing?
Momochi: Anyhow, Jacky, take a look at this.
I got a map of the land of our Momochi family ancestors.
Jacky: Haa...... That ninja story again......?

Page 7:
Momochi: Though we Momochi were ninjas, we were no ordinary ninjas.
We were the leaders of the Iga ninjas...... One of our ancestors was one of the Three Great Jounin of Iga.
Jack: The three families, Hattori, Fujibayashi, and Momochi, right?
I've heard that story over a hundred times.
Momochi: So we're going to visit the grave of our great ancestor.
Jacky: If they the graves of such great people, it'll have become a sightseeing area, right?
Momochi: Even so..........
There isn't an trace of records of Momochi Sandayuu after the Tenshou Iga War.
Jacky: Eh......?
Momochi: According to the history books, the second generaton Momochi Sandayuu made his escape after the fall of Kashiwara Castle,
and became a dependant on the Saika Ikki....... supposedly.

Page 8:
Jacky: The Saika Ikki............?
Momochi: Yeah. They were known as the most powerful mercenary group.Even Oda Nobunaga feared them.
At any rate, they were a specialized military force that first adopted firearms.
If the second generation Sandayuu was in the care of the Saika Ikki,
the leader of the Saika at the time, Suzuki Magoichi, took up residence in Wakayama Prefecture's Hirai...... Here!!
This is where our Momochi family grave may be.
Jacky: May be..........?
Are you telling me you don't even though if it's there or not, so we're going to go search for a grave?
Momochi: Ah, yeah.

Page 9:
Jacky: I can't believe this..........!!
We came all the way to Japan and now we're going to search for a grave that we're not even sure exists?
Momochi: Yep. That about sums it up.
Jacky: I really don't believe it......!!
Momochi: Don't you want to ride on a shinkansen?
They're those super-express trains people once only dreamt about
Jacky: I do want to ride one, but to Kyouto or Oosaka or somewhere!!
Why would you want to head into the country to look for a grave that may or may not be there......
..........

Page 10:
Momochi; What is it?
What's wrong?
Jacky: This shape......!!
Momochi: Hey......
?
Jacky: Here!

Billy: I can't get through to you so I took some other measures.

Kevin: That makes two of us.
No...... I think I'm crazy on a whole bunch of levels.
Anyhow..........
Please tell me about the bat.

Really......?
Kevin: It's okay. Even if you don't believe it.............
Jacky: That......
is a message from the bat.

Page 1:
Side: The more shrewd readers will have realized it, the Iga ninja Kanbei in a desperate situation in front of a fearsome sword master!!
Bat: Before he comes to kill me,
if I cut the rope bridge behind me......
I can escape to the rocky area below......
Ninja: Hand over the scroll.
Bat: I refuse.
Ninja: Then I'll kill you!!

Page 2:
Bat: Yayah!
Damn, it didn't cut!
Ninja: EIYAH!!
Bat: WAWAH

Guy: I totally wanna see what happens~~~
I totally wanna know where the scroll is~~~~~~~!
Sensei, hurry, please write the next part~~~~~!!
Title: Chapter 68 I am 8 Man

Page 4:
SFX: SHAH
Guy: GEHO GEHOH
Zofuu: I can't draw what I can't draw!!
Guy: If there's nothing wrong with any part of your body, then is that thing the reason you can't draw?
You have none of that i...... i...... infrekation stuff?

Page 5:
Zofuu: You mean inspiration!!
And I have so much of that I could sell it!!
Guy: In that case, then why can't you draw?
Zofuu: .........
Guy: Is it that thing? That thing you talk about, sensei......
The bat has stopped whispering to you?
I got it, didn't I?
Zofuu: No!!
The bat keeps whispering!!
But there are two bats.

Page 6:
Guy: The white bat and the black bat, right?
Zofuu: Yes, that's it.
The white one is always saying things I don't understand......
And when the black one comes, he does nothing but bad things to manipulate people!!
I can't drop my guard to either!!
Guy: I don't really get it, bur it sounds like a pain.
But I do want to read the continuation soon.
Anyhow, I'm the president of your manga's fan club, sensei.
Zofuu: Hmph. You're the president and vice president all on your own?
Guy: How should I say this... When I read your manga I get all "FAAAAA"!

Page 7:
Zofuu: What is FAAAAA?
Guy: Ya know, the feeling you get when you travel the world.
It's a kind of big feeling.......
So I get a huge burst of courage welling up in me!
Zofuu: Hmph. You're quite a reader.
While I still have even one reader, I guess I can't just sit here and not draw.......
Guy: Yeah! Please draw!
Are there any ideas around there that you rejected that are interesting?
Zofuu: Hey, you, don't go touching my things!!

Page 8:
Guy: Hey, hey, you had things like this?
This old man looks totally bad!
Zofuu: He's called Yajirou, and he's going to appear really soon.
Guy: Really? I'm looking forward to it!
UWAWA! What's this!?
A sword fight in a bamboo grove!!?
Zofuu: That's enough. Stop now or it will spoil the anticipation.
Guy: Hm?

Page 9:
Guy: These are pistols...... Why are there pistols even though it's a sword fight......?
Zofuu: That's a different story!!
Guy: Hmmmm? What's this......?
A bat on the ground.......?
This is the moon..........?
What's this......?
..........
Wh...... What? There's something huge going on here, ain't there......?

Page 10:
Guy: The world is.........!!
Zofuu: I said that's enough, didn't I?!!
The next guy will draw what comes after this......
Guy: The next guy......?
Mailman: Sir~~~~
Mail~~~~

Page 11:
Guy: Ooh, it's the mailman.
Is it okay if I open this, sensei?
Uhoho, it's this week's Magazine and Sunday!
Magazines: Shounen Magazine, Shounen Sunday
I wonder what's going to happen in this week's "8 Man"~~~
Mailman: Your manga are pretty good, sensei, but they aren't printed in things like that, huh?
Guy: What're you saying?!
Even though "8 Man" is totally interesting,
Sensei's manga are a hundred times better!!
Zofuu: Cut it out, fan club president.
Mailman: Even if you cal it that, sensei's manga is an imitation.
President: Wh...... What did you say?!!

Page 12:
Mailman: There's even a foreigner that's been giving patches of it to the village kids, "Billy Bat".
Sensei's manga looks just like it.
Guy: Are you an idiot?! It's the other way around!
The other guys are the one imitating!!
Mailman: You're the idiot. "Billy Bat" is popular all around the world!!
Guy: That's why for a long time now I haven't been able to stand that "Billy Bat" idiot!!
Zofuu: I told you to quit it, didn't I?
SFX: GUNI~~~~
Mailman: Huuu, I thought you were gonna choke me to death.....
.....Ah, oh yeah!!
Sensei, something terrible happened in the village.

Page 13:
Mailman: The mayor and elder died one after another, and then finally......
the deputy mayor was hanged.
There's a big commotion all over the village already.
The people who can run the town are dying one after another, they're saying it's some kind of curse.
Zofuu: What were you saying before?
Mailman: Heh?
Zofuu: What about the foreigner who's been distributing patches to the children?!!

Page 14:
Mailman: Ah, those Billy Bat patches.
To tell you the truth, he gave me one because I told him my son's a fan.
Here.
He sure seems like a nice foreigner.
And he's incredibly generous.
Zofuu: That guy......
what did he come here for?
Mailman: I didn't hear. I wonder what he'd come out here to the country for..........
I think maybe he said something about him looking for land to make an amusement park......

Page 15:
Zofuu: So it's finally come?
SFX: GUGU...
Mailman: Heeey, sensei! You're going to tear my precious patch! It's supposed to be a present for my son!!
President: What's come, sensei?
Mailman: Okay, so long sensei. Take care.
Make sure you don't get cursed...
SFX: CHIRIRI!

Page 16:
President: Hey, sensei, I asked what came.....?
Zofuu: Yamashita-kun.
Please listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you.
Yamashita: Yes, sir!!
SFX: TON TON
Zofuu: Take all of those manga manuscripts with you......
and run away from here.
Yamashita: Heh?

Page 17:
Zofuu: Take them and....
SFX: SHA SHA SHA
Yamashita: !?
Zofuu: give them to this man!!
Paper: Kinji-kun
Zofuu: His name is Kinji,
he's a handsome man that resembles Ikebe Ryou.
TL Note: Ikebe Ryou is a Japanese actor popular in the 50's.
Yamashita: Wh...... Where is he?
This Ikebe Ryou guy..........?
Zofuu: I don't know.
Yamashita: You don't know......?!!

Page 18:
Zofuu: But anyhow, get away from here.
And be sure not to hand that manuscript over to the foreigner.
Yamashita: H...... Huh......?
Zofuu: Yamashita-kun, the fate of many different things ride on you.
Yamashita: M...... Many different things, like what......?
Zofuu: Like the future of the world.
Yamashita: Hu~~~h!?
Zofuu: I'm sure you can do it, Yamashita-kun!!
As the president of my fan club......

Page 19:
Zofuu: you possess tremendous courage.

Yamashita: I'm gonna do it, sensei.
I'm not somebody like 8 Man.
I'm Kanbei.
No matter how you look at me, I'm Kanbei.
The protagonist
of Sensei's manga!!
I kinda feel like I'm totally full of courage!!
Like I can save the world----!!
Side: As expected, that "sensei" is Karama Zofuu...... And he's in a desperate situation. Run, Yamashita-kun, faster than a speeding bullet......!!

Truly. How could it be?
Side: The mayor and elder...... In the mountains of Kii, two strange deaths have happened in the village of Koumori. What is the true goal of the secretly maneuvering foreigner!?

Page 2:
People: Just when I thought the funeral for the mayor who was hanged was over, this time it's with the elder.
I can't believe we ended up having one funeral a day like this.

People: Do you think this village has been cursed......?
At any rate, we need to choose someone to put this town in order.
You're right. I suppose the deputy mayor?
Speaking of which, I haven't seen the deputy mayor anywhere.
Well, he was at last night's wake.

Page 3:
People: Do you think he got scared?
You're saying he might have run away because the heads of the village are passing away one after another?
Kids: KYAKYAKYA!!
I got a patch!!
People: Thanks to that foreigner, at least the children's moods have been brightened. He's a real help.
Indeed.
Ah...... Ah~~~ Well, now,

He's always nearby, watching over everyone.
Always...........
Billy: I'm always watching over you!!

Girl: Billy! When did you get here?!
Billy: Crossed through time and space to do it!!
Now, hurry, let's get out of here!!
Girl: KYAAAAA!!
Billy: YAYA!!
Dog: Huhhuhhu. Billy, you came here like a moth to a flame.
Billy: Nunu, it's you, Gary!!
Gary: I'll be taking your time machine!
Girl: Time machine? Billy, is that the one you're always saving me with?
Gary: Farewell, Billy Bat!!
Billy: Waaaait!!

Page 7:
Billy: Oh no!! If the time machine falls into the hands of a villain, it'll be the end of the world!!
Gary: Hehe----!!
billy: Wait, Gary!!
Gary: Wha?
WAAAAH!!
Disney: What's this supposed to be?
SFX: BASAH
[It takes too long to write "Not-Culkin" so I'm just gonna call this guy Disney until he's named.]

Page 8:
Disney: Why did the villain, Gary, disappear?
Chuck: Because I erased him with an eraser.
Disney: Chuck...... Since when have you taken comics lightly like this?
Narration: Hollywood, LA----
Chuck: I don't think I'm making light of them or anything.
Disney: Then tell me, how do you plan to conclude
this preposterous development?

Page 9:
Chuck: If you don't like what I erased with my eraser,
we'll go to world of the past with a villain worse than Gary......
like he has to deal with Gary's ancestor? How about that?
Disney: Gary's ancestor......?
I see. So that's why Gary, the descendant, disappeared?
Time machine are a pretty often used plot device, though.
I don't really get time machines.
Chuck: In any case, generally whoever has the time machine is the most powerful.
Disney: Strongest...... is that right?
Chuck: Did you not know? Even that Professor Einstein man said so.

Page 10:
Disney: I hate that field more than any other. I can't for the life of me guess why that old man's so popular.
Chuck: Let me try to explain. First start with a point.
Disney: Hm......?
Chuck: That's 0-dimensional.
It's really nothing but a point.
And then next is 1-dimensional..........
A line connecting one point and another...... Nothing more than that.
Then are figured like the manga we draw on paper...... 2-dimensional.
Which are completely flat.

Page 11:
Chuck: And the world we live in is 3-dimensional.
See? It's not on a plane, there are solid bodies with length and width.
Then, here's the question.
What would happen if you were surrounded by to 10,000 soldiers drawn on a paper?
Disney: ..........
Chuck: What would happen here? 10,000 soldiers guns are pointed this way.

Page 12:
Disney: You stand over them and trample them?
They're 2-dimensional so the bullets won't fly here.
Chuck: Yes, that's right!!
Even the strongest army corps of a 2-dimensional world would be nothing more than that.
So then, what's the 4th dimension?
Yes. the 3rd dimension with the added concept of time.
Being able to manipulate the 4th dimension means being able to manipulate time.
That's what a time machine is!!
Right now, even you could easily do away with even 10,000 2-dimensional soldiers!!
From our 3rd-dimensional perspective, 2-dimensional is nothing more than that!!

Page 13:
Chuck: So to someone from the 4th dimension looking at us in the 3rd,
we're as powerless as soldiers drawn on paper.
Like I said in the beginning, like just erasing something with an eraser!
I'm free to do as I please with the comic drew on paper with a single eraser!
From the 4th-dimension, we look like something you could erase with an eraser.
Because at any rate, they can manipulate time and history.

Page 14:
Finney: With the scroll, humans can manipulate the bat......
Disney: What do you mean?
Finny: You could control history.
Disney: Control history...... huh?
I see.
So that's the scroll..........?
Chuck: Huh?

Page 15:
Disney: No......
What do you think about making the design for the time machine shaped like a scroll?
Chuck: Scroll......?
That sounds good.
Yes, all right then.
Someone: Uh......
Uh......

Page 16:
Deputy: Uh......
Uhu......
Devivie: Please don't make such a sad face.
Deputy Mayor-san.
Deputy: Uh......
Uh.......
Devivie: Do you really think what I'm saying is that unreasonable?
I just want to build Billy Land in that town.......
I only came here because I desperately wish to revive the lands of Japan burnt by war.
But now, this age is not only about that......

Page 17:
Devivie: Let's enjoy it starting now.
Let's dream!!
How do we make children's dreams come true?

What must I do?

Deputy: WA!!

Page 19:
Devivie: Ooh, watch out there!!
Deputy: ......!!
SFX: GAH
Deputy: HA~~~~~ HIHA~~~~!!
Devivie: Who do I need to negotiate with?
Neither the mayor, nor the elder, nor even you, deputy-san, have any intentions of selling the village.

Who were you told to say that by?
Who do I need to negotiate with?

Anyhow, even I was searching for that guy before......

People: No matter what you say about him, he was a good mayor.
You're right. No matter what anyone says.
I never would've thought he'd kill himself.
No foolin'.
He seemed like the kind of person who'd never think of suicide.
And he was a greedy guy all the way to the end.
He was worried about money, was he?
Are you an idiot?!!
Do you think he was worried about money when he took so much from us in village dues?
Oh!!

Page 13:
Shirts: Koumori
People: It looks like he's going home first.
Devivie: Who is that man?
People: What? You don't know?
It's the village elder, man!!
Devivie: Elder..........?
People: Uwah, a...... A foreigner!!
Since when has he been here!?
H...... H...... How'd he get here if he can't communicate with us!!?

Page 14:
Devivie: By that do you mean he's the person in this village who's lived longest?
People: What? Do you not understand?
Since many years ago, he always travels like that when he needs to go somewhere.
Young ones carry him on on their shoulders.
They always need to bring him to the tops of the cliffs every morning at sunrise to pray.
I had to do it once, too. It was a tough job.
Devivie: So you say he's even more eminent than the deceased mayor?
People: I'd say so. The mayor is mayor as a job.
But the elder is the elder purely by living.
Devivie: I see.
Then I had best pay him a greeting.
People: Who is that foreigner?
I heard he gave the kids patches.

Page 15:
People: Patches?
Yeah. From that TV manga "Billy Bat".
But man, we spoke with a foreigner!!
And he understood us!!
You idiot!! No one even used English once!
Yeah, seriously! Hahhahhah
Guy: HUA~~~~
Devivie: I am Henry Charles Devivie.

Page 16:
Devivie: What happened to the mayor certainly was terrible.
Yesterday when he was still alive, I heard quite a bit from him.
It seems he truly loved this village.
Let me speak frankly.
I've come here in order to use this town's land to develop an amusement park.

Page 17:
Devivie: But the mayor said he was firmly against selling this village.
Might you have any difference of opinion, elder?
Indeed.
Anyhow, after the war, when there was an attempt for this town to be purchased for the national railway, that mayor had not yet been the mayor.
And the mayor who refused to sell at that time,
was you, elder.
And even though president of the national railways, Shimoyama, petitioned you to sell many times,
you have resolutely refused to give up this land.

Page 18:
Devivie: As things are going, this village will be left out of the progress of the world.
This area must be made into "Billy Land".
Do you have any inclination for giving up this village if it's for the same of children's dreams?
Is the scroll that important?

Page 19:
Devivie: You know about the scroll......
Don't you?
Do not play dumb......
Elder: What......
What do..........
you know......?
Devivie: I don't know, that's why I am asking.

Page 20:
Devivie: Regarding the scroll......
Elder: Y......
Y......
You were the one who caused the mayor to......!?

Page 21:
Jackie: Hey, uh, when we get to Japan, where you wanna go first?
I guess the place to be right now has gotta be Tokyo Olympics.=
Momochi: You idiot, we're heading straight for the land connected to the Momochi family!!
Jackie: Huh?
Momochi: During the war in Tenshou Era Iga, the Momochi clan lost that land and the second generation survived as part of the dangerous Negoro-Shuu.
We'll visit that land that's part of our family heritage. We're headed to Kii Province!!
Jackie: Ki...... Kii Province......?
Where?
Momochi: Why did our Momochi ancestors have to face such hardships.......?
If only Mimizu Yajirou hadn't betrayed us, we the Momoya family would have flourished long ago.......
Jackie: Yajirou!?
Momochi: Yes...... If Yajirou hadn't betrayed us, your old man wouldn't be driving a taxi today, I can tell you that.

Page 22:
Jackie: Yajirou.......
Momochi: Maybe if we get to Kii Province, we'll be able to take back our history.
Jackie: Take back our history......?
Momochi: There might be a treasure sleeping there.
Jackie: Treasure!?
Momochi: Quiet down!!
Listen, this is a secret handed down through the Momochi family for generations.

Only for HWMN.

The fate of the world depends on the outcome of a children's card game..

[Toriko 164 Translation by Kewl0210]
Page 1:
Live: "Concentration"
do you know if it?
TL Note: The Japanese name for the card game "concentration" translates to "nervous breakdown", so it has more to do with the brain motif.
Side: A death match with food on the line!!
Our match will be a simple card game.
I'll now explain the rules.
You all
bet your memories...
Bottom: "Toriko"

Title: Toriko 164 Gourmet Tasting
Insert Text: ☆Airing every Sunday at 9 on Fuji TV the TV Anime is airing exploding with food!! Airing on the 20th is the final decisive match of Toriko VS Tommy!! Who will the Century Soup smile on!?
Author: Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Page 3:
SFX: BABAN
Live: We will be using "Gourmet Tasting Cards". [quote in white]
The backs have "numbers" the fronts have "ingredients" and their point values. [quotes in bold.]
Circles: Back

Front

Page 4:
Live: First we place all the cards face down and line them up, then turn them over two at a time.
If you get the same ingredients, it's a "Hit", then you eat all of that actual ingredient and earn the points written on the card.
If the same ingredient doesn't come up, it's an "Out" and it becomes the other player's turn.
On page: Eat All
10 Points
If there is a case where you can't finish eating the ingredient you "hit", then the points instead go to the opponent's side and it becomes their turn.
By the way, if you can't finish the food twice in a row, then at that point you retire and lose.
Also if you're simply "out" 10 times in a row, in that case you also lose.
On Page: Give Up [Top]
Next Give Up [Bottom Right]
Retire [Bottom Right Below]
Opponent 10 Points! [Bottom Left]
Coco: By getting a hit and finishing the food, do you earn the right to flip cards again?
Live: Yes. But only up to 3 times per turn.

Page 5:
Live: So there are 3 pattern by which the turn can go to the opponent. (1) You simply get an out. (2) You get a hit but you can't eat (1 time) (3) You get 3 hits in a row and finish eating.
By these rules, both sides have a many chances to eat ingredients.
There number of cards is 56!! ["56!!" big]
That is made up of 28 kinds of ingredients in total.
But among those there are 4 cards (2 types) of "Joker Ingredients". [quote in white.]
If you hit those and finish eating them, you can trade just 1 card of yours with 1 of your opponents.
And of course, if you don't finish eating the traded ingredients, you won't get the points.
So what do you think? Well... perhaps I'm speaking too soon.
The one to have the most points at the end, wins.
Now, let's determine the card level. [Heart]
Coco: Level?

Page 6:
Live: Just like how restaurants have a number of stars, the cards have levels.
The higher the level, the higher class and rare the ingredients on them.
But they are correspondingly more difficult to eat ingredients, though. [Heart]
Toriko: About that, if we're playing this game,
then we should have the more delicious ingredients, obviously!
Komatsu: To... Toriko-san.
Live: Huhu, Yes... the levels of the cards used varies based on the "memories" that are bet.
This time, we'll without a doubt be going with the highest level "V" (five)...
Uhu. I'm looking forward to it. [Heart]
SFX: NII
Live: This will select 1 set of cards made up of random "Level V" ingredients from the several thousand ingredients on the card list.
The numbers on the backs of the cards will also be assigned randomly.
Match: Wait.
That machine randomly selects cards?
Are you telling us to just believe that?

Page 7:
Match: If there's any basis for us to believe cards that give you an advantage won't be picked, try explaining it to it.
Toriko: Match...
Live: I can't explain.
All you can do is trust me.
However...
I may be a chef, but as the owner of Gourmet Casino, I also serve as a dealer.
Understand? I have pride as a gambler... I would not do such a worthless act.
Also, there's nothing entertaining
about winning by using a trick, you know? [Heart]
Coco: ..........
This guy...
Match: Would you let me choose which cards we use?
Let me pick out which set to use, and shuffle it further... And then, for this game...

Page 8:
Match: let me be the dealer...!
This arena belongs to you, the Underground Cooking World, so please at least grant me that much.
Komatsu: Th...
Then I......
I think I'd like...
to cook the ingredients that we hit...!! That's my duty!!
Toriko: And of course, my duty will be eating!!
Coco, you'll guess all the ingredients, rightr?!!
Coco: Yeah.
Leave the drawing of the cards to me!

Page 9:
Live: Great! It looks like everyone's on board. [Heart]
Let the "Food" Concentration!! [quote bold]
"Gourmet Tasting" Begin!! [quote white]
SFX: BAN

Page 10-11:
Toriko: Are you okay being by yourself?
Livebearer.
Live: Of course. [Heart]
Rather are you
all right with it being just the 3 of you?
Toriko: Ah?
Live: Past challengers have tried to gather a large number of people in an attempt to improve their chances of win.
A group of skilled chefs and eating contest champions... Right now I will accept up to 10 people.
By the way, I'm always alone. [Heart]

Page 12:
Live: My current record is 214 wins and 0 losses.
Uhu
Every last one of my customers have had their brains left flat out broke.
Coco: .........
Is that so...?
Let me give you some advice,
you had best not group us together with the customers you've had up until now.
Live: Ooh, really?
You sure are confidence.
Coco: You'll soon find out.
Match: Let's decide who gets up to bat first.
I'll do a coin toss. Heads or tails...?
Live: I'm representing the underworld,
so I'll choose tails.
TL Note: In Japanese these both use the same kanji for "reverse" or "back".
Match: Coco, are you all right with heads?
.........
Coco?

Page 13:
Coco: Neither.
That's what I choose...
Match: What...
Toriko: Coco...
Komatsu: Coco-san!?
Live: ..........

Th... This is...
Coco: Neither tails...
nor heads...
So then, shall I bat first?
Toriko: Oooh! Man, what was that?!
Komatsu: Coco-san!!
How did you know the coin would stand on its side!?
SFX: OOO
Match: ..........
I intended to toss it completely normally, but...

Page 15:
Live: Uhu [Heart]
Interesting.
SFX: OOOO
Live: It seems you certainly are different from the customers I've had so far.
Eh... Go ahead and take the first turn.
Match: Pick a number.
I'll turn over the cards.
Someone: First up to bat is the Team Coco, Toriko, Komatsu!
Coco: .........
Number 8.
SFX: SU...
Someone: !!
Th.. This is a...
*"Cheringo"!!
TL Note: Cheringo is a portmanteau on "Cherry" and "Ringo", the word for apple. There's really no way to force a translation out of that.
Asterisk: *Yamagata Prefecture's Penname Manango-san's work!!

Page 16:
Toriko: That's a rare kind of cherry!
Coco: ..........
Komatsu: It's a high-class ingredient!
Coco: Number 29.
Match: ...At first there'll be a lot of out, but as more and more get turned over
the priority will become having a grasp of which number goes which which ingredient.
SFX: SU...
Match: !!
Eh!?
Komatsu: WAaAA he suddenly got a "Hit"!!
Toriko: "Cheringo"!!
Aaawesome, Coco!
Live: Ah?
SFX: AAAAAA

Page 17:
Guy: Please eat all of these "Cheringos".
Someone: Here they aaare!!
There pretty much don't need any cooking, Toriko-san!!
Toriko: AAHM!
YUUUM!!
Announcer: Team Coco Toriko Komatsu
Coco: Now,
shall we keep this going?
Announcer: Acquire 10 points!!
SFX: WAAAAA
Side: There are no blind spots in Coco's "Sight"!!

No, that isn't it...

He knows which cards are hits...
It looks like I'll
have my first enjoyable game in a long time. [Heart]

Sorry for the delay with these. I've had a whole lot to do, constantly preparing for the next thing, catching up on something I was behind on, or trying to finish something before a deadline, and so I got behind on these over the last 2 months. So I'm gonna catch up now. I've still got a few more.

President: Anyhow, sir, about the land near Wakayama you're looking for......
SFX: BASA
President: Are you really looking around here?
Devivie: Yes. From around here to here. As large a plot of land as possible......
President: There's nothing open there.
President: Ah......
Sir, please have a close look here.

Devivie: Kisei Main Line............
President: Yes. The railway that goes to the three big cities, Kameyama through Kumano all the way to Wakayama.
The entire area you've pointed out is land of the national railway.
Devivie: National railway......
Perhaps we could negotiate with the national railway............?
President: There's no way we could do something like that!!
When you say large, just what size are you looking for approximately?
Devivie: 160 acres..................
That's about 650,000 square meters.

Page 9:
President :Si...... Six hundred fifty thousand......!?
You're intending to buy enough for an entire town?
Devivie: I'd like to make an amusement park.
President: Amyuuzmen...?
Devivie: I'd like to establish a "Billy Land" in Japan, like the one in America.

Page 10:
President: I......I've heard of that, "Billy Land".
It's a big amusement park in America!!
And there's that "Billy Bay Hour" that's on TV!!
It airs on alternating weeks with pro wrestling.
Devivie: Please keep this a secret for now.
President: This is really something.
You can make that?
Devivie: That's why I'm looking for a site to build on.
President: I see...... Hm!!
In that case, how about somethin' like this?
President: Southern Oosaka Harbor, it's being reclaimed right now. If you buy now, you can get it at a bargain---!!
Devivie: Well, this......?
President: Um...... This reclaimed land is......

Page 11:
Devivie: What about here?
The railway meanders oddly......
It's probably one of those situations.
They couldn't negotiate a good deal for it.
Devivie: What sort of land is it?
President: Well......
Around this area......
Ah, here.
Right here......
Koumori Village.........
TL Note: Koumori means bat. It's written here with different kanji, though, to sound like a town.
