Toriko 50

This chapter's really cool. There's a real science developing to this manga. That is, apart from the sulfates and amino acids and what not... This arc is at its climax. It's really cool, check it out guys...

Plus I was able to finish this translation pretty quickly. It did have a lot of just "explosion" pages, though the stuff about nutrients and autophagy isn't easy...

*Note: Bishokushin = Gourmet God. It seems to be a word like Bishokuya so I'll not translate it.

■オートファジー（自食作用）
■Autophagy (Using yourself as food) [Autophagy written big, then the parenthetical sentence smaller]
栄養飢餓状態に陥った生物が自らの細胞内のたんぱく質を
アミノ酸に分解し一時的にエネルギーを得る仕組みである
When the body falls into a state of hunger for nutrition, a living thing will disassemble its own cell's proteins into amino acids. This is in order to temporarily gain energy. [Take notes class, there will be a quiz afterwards.]
トリコが一日に消費するエネルギー量は数10万から数100万キロカロリー
Toriko in one day consumes a few hundreds of thousands to a few millions of kilocalories of energy.
故にトリコにとってほんの少しの絶食が時に生命にかかわるダメージとなるのだ
Consequently, for Toriko to fast even for a little while, it will then cause
damage to his life.

Page 8:

Staajyun: "Autophagy" is only enough to make your body temporarily avoid nutrition hunger.

If that state continues you'll eat away your own cells.
『進化スルドコロカ逆ニ細胞ハ死ニ至ル…！』
Rather than something like evolving, it's the opposite. Your cells will lead to death...!
