Toriko 74

Sorry I kind took a while with this, but given the holiday and I'm away from my normal computer, plus the raw coming out early and this chapter being really wordy it took me a while.
Anyway, these characters are really interesting, I think the story's developing well and doesn't have to focus on action and can keep time for interesting plot, too.
Check it out.

Somebody: Aurora, huh...?
SFX: Koto koto
The "Century Soup" is said to be able to dance in the wind. That aurora is called "Bishoku Curtain"...[Bishoku Curtain big]
Note: Bishoku = gourmet food.
It's truly like a curtain opening to a restaurant that's been closed for 100 years inviting customers in.
案内 みちしるべとなある
It's like a guide post leading us to the "Century Soup"...

Page 4:
Toriko: ――yeah, I'm sure that old man said that.
(in bubble): That old man
Komatsu: Yes, he said that.
Takimaru: In this huge ice mountain, we have no choice but to find that aurora first.
Match: The aurora is a guide...
it's really like a fairy-tale story....
SFX: Shari
Komatsu: Y... Yes... Though if it were possible to have less wild beasts show up it would be a lot more fairy-tale like...
(In bubble): Though the ice and such is pretty...
極寒の大地では貴重な蛋白源だぞ 有り難く思え 小松
Toriko: It's a valuable source of protein in this intensely cold land. Be more grateful, Komatsu.
SFX: Zuuuun...
Even raw, the "Silver Grizzly" can be plenty edible with some spices.
SFX: Shaku
Note: Silver Grizzly literally = Hakugin Grizzly
Komatsu: Y... Yes...
Ah~~~ I want to eat some hot soup soon~~
フーフーしながら
I want to blow on it before eating it...
SFX:Shari tsun tsun

Page 5:
SFX: Tsun tsun tsun
Komatsu: Heh?
UWAOH! That surprised me!! [UWAOH bigger]
Wall Penguin: Yun
Komatsu: What's this!!?
Toriko: He―― that guy's rare.
It's a child *"Wall Penguin".
香川県
Asterisk: *The Kagawa prefecture's 法集弘季-kun's wordk!
Wall Penguin: Yun!
Yunyun! [It's clearly Elizabeth from Gintama, ain't it!? This person ripped off someone else's work, too!]
Komatsu: .........
It's...
It's so cute~~ What is it~~~[heart]
絶滅危惧種
Toriko: That guy's an endangered species...
Komatsu: This is fairy-tail-like~~~[heart]
Takimaru: It's even a lost child, isn't it?

Page 6:
Komatsu: Ow.
SFX: Sugoh
Komatsu: Owow
SFX: Suko sukoh
Komatsu: Owowowowow
Hey, hey
(On Page): Hyaa
Wall Penguin: Yuunyunyun[music note]
SFX: Sukokokokokokoko
Komatsu: This guy~~~ what're you doin'~~~
警戒心 懐いて近づいく
Toriko the child Wall Penguin isn't cautious, it'll just get attached to any living thing that comes near it... Even meat-eating wild beasts.
Because of that it's been preyed on and it's numbers have decreased...
Wall Penguin: Yuun.
SFX: Gyumi~~
But on the other hand, the parents are brutal.
Right now they're probably rampaging all over looking for that kid, I bet.
SFX: Shaku
Komatsu: HEH!?
Are you serious?
さらった思われる 100パー
Komatsu, they'll think you abducted him. 100 percent chance.
Komatsu: EE~~~~~H!?
Match: Fufu... A baby penguin that got separated from his parents, huh...?
That sounds like a pain.
Komatsu: Match-san.

Page 7:
Match: Our real journey starts here.
いざって時 温存
We need to retain our strength for the crucial time.
Komatsu: The crucial time...?
Match or somebody: That's right, Toriko...
The time when I'll have to fight with you may come...
Toriko: Have a nice rest, Match.
Match: Even if I can't win......
Yeah.
一泡吹かせる はためとかない
Just enough strength for a surprise attack wouldn't be good enough...
Toriko: Machi's "Iai"...
脱力から刀を抜く際の"瞬発力"が命
The moment energy is exhausted from his katana, his "instantaneous power"
is his life...
緊張した
In situations where more power escapes, it brings about more intense a situation...
瞬間的な力の落差が
An instantaneous drop in power
means a great increase in "destructive power". [destructive power in bold]
気力体力 消耗
However, that should mean a proportional exhaustion of bodily energy and vitality for him...
ただでさえ極寒で体力は奪う
And to complicate the situation further, his bodily energy is stolen by this intense cold...
見た目以上にマッチは疲労しているのかもな...
Despite his tough appearance, Mach is probably feeling fatigued...
Komatsu: ............

Page 8:
Komatsu: U... Um... you guys in Match-san's group...
Yazuka: !
Komatsu: Why did you come to get the Century Soup...?
Ah... I'm sorry.
I just said that accidentally...
Penguin: Yuun
あいて
Komatsu: Forget it...
SFX: Suko
ネルグ街
Yakuza: "Nerg City"...............
That's the city we live in.
Toriko: !
A slum, huh...?
非加盟 犯罪都市ネルグ
The crime city, not affiliated with the IGO, Nerg.
SFX: Shar
流通の禁止された食材が公然と出回る無法地帯ですね
Takimaru: That's the lawless area where ingredients prohibited from being circulated are publicly marketed, isn't it?
グルメ刑務所に収監されている囚人の約1割がネルグ街出身という犯罪者生産工場です
They say 10% of the prisoners in Gourmet Prison are said to come from Nerg
City, the criminal producing factory.
Yakuza: Pardon us...
But it's still the our home town where we were born in...

Page 9:
Toriko: ................
報酬
Match took up this request for the reward money, it would seem, but...
違法 さばく 率がいい
if it were just about money, selling illegal ingredients would get him a higher percentage.
Yakuza: Of course.
Vice Boss plans to bring back the soup.
For the sake of
身寄りのない
the children there with no families.
Us three were all originally street children...
Dirty brats...
物乞いに唯一応じて
Back then, the only one that answered our begging was
当時すでに 若頭
him, who was already a lieutenant of the Gourmet Yakuza in those days,
Match-san.

Page 10:
生ごみばっか漁ってたオレたちにマッチさんは...
Yakuza: For us who just searched through garbage for food scraps, Match-san was...
blessing us with a feast we'd never seen before.
越える衝撃は未だに経験がね
I've never experienced an impact surpassing the happiness of that moment...
Toriko: So the reason you guys entered the "Gourmet Yakuza" was... [Gourmet Yakuza big/bold]
恩があるからってワケか
because you're in his debt from that time...
Yakuza: We were saved...
大げさだけど
With just a single feast... though I may be exaggerating...
We returned from being hyenas back to human beings... [The idea is that hyenas are scavengers, if you didn't get it.]
Box: Match-san said it, too...
Match (flashback): I was a hyena once, too.
Until I was saved by the current boss.
This is what Boss said to me.
恩を返す
Boss: If you want to repay your debt, don't return it to me,
ひもじい思いをしとるスラムのガキどもに返しな！！
return it to the hungry children of the slums!!

Page 11:
Komatsu: ....................
Th... Then...
Yakuza: The ultimate evil is "poverty". [poverty is big]
孤児たちはその犠牲者と言っていい...
And you can say the orphans are the biggest victims of that...
Because from the start, children have committed no sins...
裏社会 法治国には忌み嫌われて何ボの組織だが...
Us, the Gourmet Yakuza, beings living in the underworld society of Nerg city... are an organization much hated by the constitutional countries, but...
差別を受けるのは納得がいかない
for the children born in Nerg City unable to get enough food, they can't comprehend the discrimination...!
Match-san always says......
Match: The first thing is being fed.
Being a good person or a bad person is after that.

Page 12:
Komatsu: ............
Match: Fufu... A baby penguin that got separated from his parents, huh...?
That sounds like a pain.
Wall Penguin: Yuun[musicnote]
ひょっとしたら法を犯すことも
Komatsu: Match-san and the others... maybe that time, and when they've broken the law, too...
もしかしたらあるのかもしれない
maybe it was for that reason...
しょっちゅうあるんじゃね
Toriko: There always's a reason, isn't there?
Haha
Penguin: Yunyun
Komatsu: B... But......! I think wanting to give the soup to children to eat is a wonderful idea...!!
I'm sure the one who requested us, Mr. Colonel Mokkoi, will understand, too...!!
Penguin: Yuun[music note]
Komatsu: Ow.
眼中
Yakuza: We haven't cared about what that old man thinks from the beginning.
We just wanted to know where the soup was.
Takimaru: ...But to go as far as face such danger for a high capture level ingredient......
Toriko: What about you, Takimaru?
Takimaru: Eh?
Toriko: The "Gourmet Knights" members do properly know about this work, right?
The "Century Soup".
素食の勧めもある「グルメ教」の教えからは随分かけ離れた高級食材だと思うが...
I think a high class food like this is far off from the recommendations for principal food in "Gourmet Doctrine", but...

Page 13:
Takimaru: The other members...
don't know about this job...
Toriko: I knew it...... I thought it was strange you were alone... To begin with, this work
is not the type of request they would leave to a single young new member...
SFX: Hamu
ひょっとして
Toriko: Could you have not even tell that Ai person this?
Takimaru: I... I didn't tell Aimaru-san...
Even though she's the leader......
...?
Note: Aimaru's name is Japanese, the kanjis mean Love and Circle. Also,
Ai is usually a girl's name and the way she's talked about she seems to
be a girl, so I'm gonna use "she" at least until it's clear who Aimaru is.
Toriko: ...Why would you take this huge job alone...?
Takimaru: ......I...
....I need... money...
.........A great deal of money...

Page 14:
癒し
Takimaru: The country of healing, "Life"―――
I need money to buy "medicine" sold there...
Toriko: Medicine...? What kind?
病を癒やす薬です...どんな病も治癒すると言われる薬が...
Takimaru: A...
A disease curing medicine...... One said to cure any illness...
つまるところ人助けか
Yakuza: In other words, helping someone, eh...?
Fn.
You're the same as us, facing danger for the sake of other people, ain't ya?
Toriko: An illness curing medicine...
But surely, "Gourmet Doctrine" says that...
Takimaru: Yes...

Page 15:
自然のままに命を委ねる
Takimaru: "Gourmet Doctrine" teaches that one's life should be entrusted to nature.
病の対し人工的な薬品の投与は「グルメ教」の教えに背く行為......
Administering man made medicines to fight against a disease is an act that goes against the teachings of "Gourmet Doctrine"......
But...
But if it's the country of healing, "Life", then...!!
天然の薬品や治癒食材が多く揃う...!!
There are many natural medicines made from food ingredients...!!
If it's natural, it wouldn't be going against doctrine!!
高額でも必ず手に入れてみせます
But I still must try to obtain a large sum of money!!
I must...!!
Aimaru-san, please...
just wait a little longer...!!
Takimaru: I must...
Komatsu: ............
Ta...
Takimaru-san...
Toriko: ............
I won't ask for the details, but...

Page 16:
負けない価値
Toriko: Those tears
have a value that won't lose to the Century Soup, Takimaru!
The amount you cry
お前にあって安心した
is the amount enough to make you feel relieved.
You guys, too.
Yakuza: !
Toriko: When you act for someone else's sake
People bring out their greatest strength.
We'll definitely all get our hands on the Century Soup!!
It's all right, I'm sure we'll find it!!
Yakuza: Toriko-san...
Toriko-san...

Page 17:
Komatsu: ............
Yakuza: B... By the way, Toriko-san...
What reason are you trying to find the soup...?
Toriko: N?
I already established that, didn't I?
It's because I want to eat it!
That's all!!
SFX: Nih
SFX: Wah

Page 18:
SFX: Wahhahhah
SFX: Hahhahhahhhahha gui
Takimaru: Haha...
Ha.
Komatsu: No, Toriko's serious, Takimaru-san.
It's not something to laugh,
a-ow!
!
Stop it you~~
Penguin: Yuun yunyun[music note]
SFX: Sukosukosuko
Toriko: Hahhah, Komatsu, he's totally attached to you.
(In bubble): The Wall Penguin.
責任を持って面倒を見ろ
Toriko: Look at the responsibility you've got now!
Komatsu: EH~~~ I don't want to~~
And what an I gonna do when the parent comes~~?
ちゅうちょない
Toriko: It'll attack you without hesitation, of course.
Komatsu: I knew it!!
さらったと誤解される
I don't like this~~ The parent will misunderstand and think I kidnapped him――――
放ってたら
Toriko: But if you let him go he'll be eaten by wild beasts...
Komatsu: I'd feel bad if I did that, though~~

Page 19:
Match: Fufu... What's with that "because I want to eat it myself"...
He's doing it for that cook, Komatsu too, though, Toriko.
一時の静寂を喰い破る目覚めの
Side: The awakening sound that will bite apart the moment a moment of silence...
Match: Sleep...
Box: At the same time――
The three members of the Bishokukai
arrived at the Ice Mountain.
足音は刻一刻と
Side: The sound of footsteps moment after moment......
Bottom: Toriko
...Gourmet 74 / End
Next issue, ups and downs! The first one to find the soup is him...!?
