Gourmet 96 The Path to Revival!!
Author: Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi
Side: Elsewhere, what is happening with Komatsu!?
Big Sign: Operations for today have ended.
Restaurant Gourmet
Small Sign: Kitchen

Page 3:
SFX: Guih
Komatsu: Okay!
Let's do this!
First is...
基本的な煮だし汁を作ってそこからいろんな具材を加えてみよう
First I'll make the basic broth and start adding ingredients from there.
With an "Anmitsu Chicken" carcass as a base...
And carefully cook together "Plumb Onions" "*Golden Carrots" and "Arare Pepper" on a low flame...
TL Note: Anmitsu (Syrup Covered Anko with Fruit) Chicken literally = Anmitsu Dori
Plumb Onions literally = Umetama
Golden Carrots literally = Golden Ninjin
Arare (Roased Mochi Pieces) Pepper literally = Arare koshou
Asterisk: *The Fukuoka Prefecture's 口樋蔆-kun's work!
Komatsu: The "Anmitsu Chicken" has stock constantly flow out of it, so I won't need to take too many hours to cook them together... And there won't be much lye...
And the "Gold Carrots" that were so high priced to procure will give it lots sweetness without any imperfections.
There we are!

Page 4:
SFX: Zu...
Komatsu: Mm.
With this, it's plenty good already!
Ok... First off I'll try adding the delicious tastes of "shells". [Shells bold]
The top class "Matsutake Shells", "Smoke Clams", "Milk Scallops" and "Rainbow Short-Necked Clams"... [Names bold]
TL Note: Matsutake (Mushroom) Shell = Matsutake Gai, Smoke Clam = Smoke Hamaguri, Milk Scallop = Milk Hotate, Rainbow Short-Necked Clams = Niji Asari.
The extract of the taste'll overflow...!
SFX: Koto koto
Komatsu: Mmm
Delicious!
But it's totally wrong.
This is completely different from the Century Soup.
少し調味料で味を調えてみようか
Maybe I should try flavoring it with some seasoning?
I'm sure there was some... Ah, there it is.
Recently there are a lot of people that don't use shoyu, but instead use this "salt" called "Sushi Salt". ["Salt" and "Sushi Salt" bold.]
TL Note: Sushi Salt = Sushi Shio
Bin: Sushi Salt
Label: Natural
Komatsu: And to add to the soup's flavor.
I'll put in some "Seven-Taste Wine"... [Seven-Taste Wine big/bold]
TL Note: Seven-Taste Wine = Shichimi Zake
SFX: Dobon Sara

Page 5:
SFX: Churu
Komatsu: Mmmm
Delicious.
BUT TOTALLY WRONG! The Century Soup was more savory and rich...
And more than anything it has remarkably less depth...!
Like you'd expect, this isn't going to be an easy job. Yeah...
Penguin: yuun!
Komatsu: !
Ah, hey, no! You can't come into the kitchen!!
Penguin: Yu~~n...
Yun...
.........
Komatsu: Ah... Sorry...
You hungry?
That's right, I haven't eaten anything either...
It's already this late... Maybe I should continue at home...?
.........No matter what...
I'll definitely reproduce it... the Century Soup!!

Small Sign: Revival Institute
Toriko: HAA~~~~
20 years...?
I never thought it'd end up like this...
I can't wait 20 years!
Sani: 'M baaaack!
Heey, we bough some food!
Toriko: HM?
SFX: Kopo kopo
Sani: AH!
What the hell's with that hair, Toriko~~~!!?
Toriko: Shut up. Yosaku cut it...
SFX: Gyahahaha
Sani: It doesn't suit you at all~~ Totally not beaut'ful~~
Toriko: Geez... Takimaru and Match went home in a hurry...

Page 7:
Takimaru: The thing of it is... I've got to go pick up my horse, so...
Match: We're going back to our hometown, too.
We're not gonna wait around in anticipation for Komatsu's soup.
Takimaru: Yosaku-san, I'll definitely pay the money back, so
Yosaku: GAHHAHHA I told ya I don' need it!
If you're breaking a rule for it, it's fine!!
Takimaru: Toriko-san...
It was a short time, but you helped me quite a bit.
Toriko: Mm.
Takimaru: Only a little but,
I'm glad I was able to travel with you, Toriko-san.
Toriko: It ain't over yet! Until we eat the soup together, we're still on a journey!
Takimaru: Y... Yes...!
Toriko: Oh, that's right.
Tell that Ai for me, [Italics on Ai]
Yosaku: Teppei!! Sani!! Go buy a whole ton of food supplies!!
Right away!!
Sani: EEEEh, why!? Me, too?
Yosaku: I've got it worked out, just hurry!!
Takimaru: ...I understand.

Page 8:
Yosaku: Not then, Toriko!
Let's get right to the healing, then, shall we!?
Toriko: By the way...
is it really gonna take 20 years?
Yosaku: Gahhahha
If your lost "arm" were still there, I'd have stuck it back on before breakfast!
For you to regrow like a newt is a different story!! [regenerate italicized]
Toriko: A newt!? So you're saying I can regrow it?
Yosaku: Yeah.
再生機能に特化した万能細胞だ
Originally, "Gourmet Cells" were very versatile cells that specialized in regeneration.
With external wounds, there are suitable ingredients that if you eat, they'll immediately heal you.
各部 一応 可能
And it's possible to tentatively attach a fitting arm or leg to a part of the body...
馴染めば自由自在に動くぜ
If you adapt to it, you'll be able control it at will.
再生医療では今や一般に行われている機関もあるいし体組織のドナーカードもある
In revival medical care nowadays there are even working institutions and donor cards.
SFX: Dopo dopo
臓器移植
Well, it's kinda like organ transplant.
Toriko: I get it...
Grinparch: Yum~~
BB Corn
Yosaku: However

Page 9:
優れたグルメ細胞ほど時に利己的でな
Yosaku: When the caliber of the Gourmet Cells are greater, they're more selfish...
Toriko, your cells will likely not blend well with other tissues.
---So that leaves regrowing it as the only option!
With your own body as food!!
Toriko: UWAH Hey, what're you doing!?
Yosaku: I need your DNA information!
A lot of it!!
Toriko: WAAAA hang o-
SFX: Choki choki (snip snip)
Toriko: ...........
Yosaku: Somethin' like this.
SFX: Washa
Yosaku: Revival Seed-----!!
TL Note: Revival Seed = Sasei no Tane
Yosaku: This is a flower seed that uses your DNA information as food and "remembers" it as it grows...!!
And from that flower, the origin of your arm can be harvested.
But if there's not enough food for it, the flower won't bloom...
Toriko: So that's why you needed this much hair...?
Yosaku: Pray it blooms.
SFX: Boto
SFX: Choro~~~

Page 10:
SFX: BINN
Toriko: OWAH, a sprout popped up!
Yosaku: Now... is it gonna bloom?
SFX: Gun
SFX: GUNN GUGUNN
SFX: BAH
Toriko: It bloomed!!
Yosaku: Don't get excited!! That's just the first step.
Look, this seed you can see at the center of the flower... All of the information about your body is packed right in there...
The information about the uninjured arm is also stored right in there... If this reacts well with your cells it should reproduce your original arm perfectly.
Now, we plant this little guy directly in the wound.
It's as easy to break as a soap bubble, so be careful.
SFX: So~~~...
Yosaku: "Revival Seeds" are rare, so we don't have a lot...
Think that if it breaks, it's over...
SFX: Boko

Page 11:
Yosaku: HEBUSHOI
Toriko: Ah.
SFX: Buchih
Yosaku: Ah
Sorry.
Toriko: WHAT THE HELL!!?
Yosaku: It's all right! It's often said that "failure" is "success"'s mother's friend!
Toriko: A mother's friend is basically a stranger, isn't it!?
Toriko: And that just now was just a stupid mistake!!
Let's do it again!!
Toriko: This time the flower isn't even blooming, is it!!?
Yosaku: More DNA!!
Put in some of your skin or something!! Cut your hair even shorter!!
SFX: SHIIIN...
SFX: Piko
Toriko: We...
We did it!
Yosaku: Hew
Okay, now's the critical moment, Toriko!
治癒ゼリー
We use the "Healing Jelly" and slowly get the seed to adapt!! [Healing Jelly big/bold]
TL Note: Healing Jelly Literally = Chiyu Jelly

Page 12:
Sanu: NAHHAHHAA SO THAT'S IT!!?
That's why your hair got so short!!?
Yosaku: Toriko!
Next, your job is to eat food!
That seed's gonna absorb nutrients from your body to grow.
If we're careless and the seed doesn't get enough nutrients so it doesn't grow
All of the nutrients in your body will be taken
and you'll end up dead...!
SFX: Dopo
Toriko: Eating is a job...!?
Hehe... This is gonna be the funnest job I've ever had!!
SFX: Gyuh

Page 13:
Toriko: !!!
...O!?
OAH!!!
Sani: !!
What!?
Toriko: Gu...
Teppei: Torikoo!
Yosaku: Wha...
That was fast!!
Eat some food, Torikoo!!!
SFX: Byoko
SFX: Moko...
Yosaku: No way!!
Toriko: UO...H
...........
oOo
aAa
SFX: GAH GAH GAH GAH
Yosaku: The cells are reacting and an "arm sprout" has already come out!!
通常馴染んでから細胞分裂が始まるまで早くても
It usually take a year before it starts to adapt and cell division starts, but...
Toriko: This is bad...
I'll die...
Bring some "Jewel Meat", Sani!!
Yosaku: Toriko,
this guy's Gourmet Cells are...

Narration: Hotel Gourmet----
Komatsu: OOOKAY, I was able to get one, somehow!
抜群の出汁がとれる「とげうなぎ」
What you can get the most distinguished stock from, the *"Spine Eel"
TL Note: Spine Eel = Toge Unagi
Asterisk: *"Spine Eel" is the Kyouto Metropolitan Area's 木村剛-kun's work!
Komatsu: A "Steak Kombu" let soak in water for a week put on the fire... [Ingredient big/bold]
Then I put in the "Spine Eel"... And at the same time the "Skirt Steak Sardines" and the "Mist Shitake" for the soup stock. [Ingredients big/bold]
TL Note: Skirt Steak Sardine = Harami Iwashi, Mist Shitake (Mushroom) = Kiri Shitake.
Komatsu: And so this doesn't fail to meet the richness of the Century Soup, some "Tuna Pig" big bones and a *"Ham Herring"'s smoking... [Ingredients big/bold]
TL Note: Tuna Pig = Maguro Buta, Ham Herring = Ham Saba.
Asterisk: *"Tuna Pig" is the Ibachiki Prefecture's 松沢啓太-kun's work!
And I think I'll add some minced "Chestnut Sesame Seeds" and "Vanilla Garlic" and the skin of some "Peach Lemons"...
TL Note: Chestnut Sesame Seeds = Kuri Goma, Vanilla Garlic = Vanilla Ninniku.
Komatsu: And let that...
cook together for 2 weeks...
Somebody: Good work today---
Young Chef: He's been making something ever since he got back.
Guy: Seems like he's got some amazing cooking challenge...
He's been going pretty much all night...
Komatsu: Yea~~~~h...
I knew it, I didn't need the "Vanilla Garlic"...?
Young Chef: Chef Komatsu, if there's anything we can do to help...
Komatsu: Ah... Yes, thank you.
But I'm fine.
This cooking is something I just need to complete alone, no matter what...

Komatsu: ............
Wrong...

Komatsu: HAAAAAAH, it's no good...
I can't do it at all...
............
Toriko-san...
I wonder if your wound is healed yet...

Page 16:
Yosaku: HURRY
MORE FOOD SUPPLIES!!
Keep buying more and more!!
On Page: More... More food
Sani: Toriko, you bastard, I'll remember this! You owe me!
SFX: Niki niki WAAAAAAAA
Komatsu: Okay!!
I'm gonna do it, too!!
SFX: Bachih
Penguin: Yun!!
Komatsu: Ah, it's you.
Penguin: Yun.
Komatsu: The soup was born in your birthplace.
So I'm definitely gonna finish it, okay?
Penguin: Yun!
Komatsu: AHA
What's with you!? I think you're drooling!
You want to eat some soon, too, eh?
Penguin: YUUN
Komatsu: AHAHA
Komatsu: Zu...
Yes.
It's gotten a lot better!
But it's still way below even the Century Soup I was given at Setsuno-san's shop...
Setsuno-san's Century Soup... It was that close to being perfect...
I ate the "real" one so I know well...
How amazing Setsuno-san's soup is...
Box: Komatsu----
remembered perfectly the recipe of the Century Soup he saw in Setsuno's Dining Hall's preparation room...
再現以上にその"具材"にあった
It was amazing not just by how it replicated the taste, but by those "ingredients". [Amazing italicized. "Ingredients" in bold.]

Page 18:
Komatsu: All of the ingredients in Setsuno-san's soup were things newly discovered in the last 100 years...
現代 代表する
Why did Setsuno-san try to make an ancient soup using ingredients representing modern times...?
Box: The "Replication of Taste" [Replication of Taste in bold/big]
節乃の先人へ対する限りないリスペクト
Komatsu could strongly sense that Setsuno had unbounded respect towards her predecessors...
and at the same time had great pride as a "chef" living in the current age. [Chef big/bold. Note italics.]
Komatsu: Setsuno-san was unmistakable making a "current century" Century Soup...!!
....Me, too.
I think, with modern ingredients,
I'll reproduce the Century Soup!!
Box: In the Gourmet Age, recipe patent rights are recognized for special cooking.
知的財産 尊重
These are regarded as chef's intellectual property and their pride.
This is the reason why Komatsu did not try to imitate Setsuno's soup's ingredients.
However, Setsuno had not applied her soup for a patent.
The reason was not so the recipe would become known to the world
It was because she had still not been able
to replicate the soup perfectly.

Page 19:
Komatsu: I'll...
definitely recreate it...!!
But like I'd thought...
SFX: Haa---
I wish I had...
just a single word of advice...
Narration: Setsuno Dining Hall
Setsuno: Uffuffu. I thought you'd be showing up soon.
Komatsu-kun.
Sign: SHI~~N
Box: Will Komatsu complete the soup first!?
Will Toriko's wound be completely healed first!?
Since the beginning of the cooking and healing, it has already been 3 months---- [3 months---- big/bold]
Side: To complete their goals, are the two waiting for a miracle? Or are they!?
Bottom: Toriko
...Gourmet 96
/ End
Next issue, on their path of hardship will Toriko and Komatsu reach their goal...!?
