Toriko 9

I'm gonna finish this eventually... Thought I'd take a break from other stuff a bit... I'd like to get this done before taking on another new project.

The purpose of this is for the scanlation of the volumes. Uses their page numbering.

Edit (6/22/15): Ok I finally finished editing it.

Page 29:
Toriko: Keep your voice down, Komatsu!
(On Page): You're being so loud
Toriko: You're always with those extreme reactions, aren't you?
Can't you be a more gently surprised?
More, like, refined...
Handwritten: Gently surprised?
Komatsu: S...Sorry, my mistake...
Coco: It's nothing to worry over...
Komatsu: !
Coco: Clear water breeds no fish... They say that having some "idiosyncrasies" can actually make someone more likable...
That astounding forwardness you have that doesn't give off a lick of character actually gives an air of approachability to those around you.
Komatsu: I-I'm not happy to hear that kind of encouragement at aaaaall!
Townspeople: Wh... What was that? That unrefined yell just now?!
It was the voice of a person without a lick of character!
Did the wild beast leave already?!
Coco: Uh...
Townspeople: Ah! Coco-sama!!
It's Coco-sama!!
You drove out the wild beast, didn't you?!
Kyaaa, Coco-samaa[heart]
Toriko: Hm...?

Page 30:
Girls: NMO~~~~~ That's our Coco-samaa[heart]
He's so dreamyyyy[heart]
Coco: S... Stop it! Please stop touching me!!
Townspeople: Coco-samaaa, tell me my fortuuune[heart]
My future of me and you, Coco-sama![heart]
What're you on about? It's me!! It's me that Coco-sama is going to be together with from now on!!
Based on the prediction he's going to give me!
What do you mean "from now on"!? You've never even met him before, get out of here old bag!!
Who're you calling old bag?!!
(On Page): You!
Coco: S...Sto~~p, the shop is closed toda~~y!!
Toriko: What the hell...?
SFX: KYAAAAAAAAA
Coco: To...Toriko! Let's move this conversation somewhere else!!
We'll have some food and talk at my house!!
Townspeople: Coco-samaa[heart]
Coco-samaa[heart]
Coco: Aah, hey, don't touch me!
Toriko: Food?
SFX: PIKU (Surprise)
Toriko: KOruAa! You BAStArds, cocco, cocco, are you guys chickens? Get outta here DAMMIT!! [First tow words and DAMMIT big]
Handwritten: Go home!
Toriko: This guy's got some crazy important work to go do!!
Townspeople: GYAAA Wh...Who is this big guuuy!? [GYAA big]
A wild man!?
It's a caveman!!
Gross!!
GROOOSS!!
You big savage!!
(Small in backgroud): Grooss
What is that~~
SFX: Shih shih GYAAA GYAAA

Page 31:
Komatsu: Toriko-san......
They just called you a caveman and a few other things.......
Handwritten: Ahaha...
Komatsu: Even though you're the charismatic presence of the Gourmet Age...
Handwritten: You've gotta try to have more of a famous aura
Toriko: Shut up! I don't care if they call me a caveman or whatever.. Who even were those people, Coco?
Coco: My divination customers...
(In bubble): Please excuse them.
Komatsu: ...Huh?
Co...Coco-san, you can even tell fortunes?
Coco: This town specializes in them.
Komatsu: HEEEH.
Toriko: Hmph... My old man, the president, has gotta be grieving over that...
...By the way, what's happening with that guy Zebra?
Coco: He got arrested.
He's in 'Gourmet Prison' right now.
Toriko: Wahhahha, so they finally got him, huh?
Man, that problem child!
The bureau director probably also felt it was a costly sacrifice done in the course of justice...
It seems nothing can be done...
Toriko: Hahha...
..........


Page 32-33:
[Remember when this sorta thing?]

Page 34:
Toriko: Takes you back, huh...? The four of us out there fighting for our lives...
Those days where we trained in the gardens.......
Who'd of thought that one day...
we'd end up being called the Four Heavenly Kings...
Coco: Hm... That was all quite some time ago...
Ah, my house is in sight now...
Komatsu: .......?
But Coco-san, that's just a sheer cliff...
Coco: Kiss!
Komatsu: HUUUUUUUH?!
SFX: PYUI (whistle)
H... Hang on...
Huh...!?
That's your house, Coco-san?
H... How do we...
get over there...?

Page 35:
SFX: BASA (FLAP)
Komatsu: !
Kiss: Aaaaw
WAAAAAAAAA A CROW MONSTEEEEEER!! [WAAA white/big]
Coco: Okay, bend down, Kiss.
Toriko: ...Hoh.
Gang leader of the skies, the "Emperor Crow", huh?
That species is practically extinct, isn't it...?
Coco: I'd like you to meet this member of my family, Kiss.
Now then...
can you carry three people, Kiss?
(In Bubble): Toriko's heavy.
Kiss: Aaw

Page 36:
Coco: Heh...
SFX: Toku toku
So you picked the "Rainbow Fruit" for your dessert, huh...?
Hmhm... So my prediction was correct.
Well... I couldn't agree more about the Rainbow Fruit.
The seven-stage taste change is interesting. It should be a fun-to-eat dessert.
On the other hand, for the course's meat dish and such...
I think composed, weighty orthodox ingredients are better, wouldn't you say?
SFX: KACHA

Page 37:
Toriko: Uhh...
Yeah.
Sounds good.
Komatsu: ......
Coco: He's not listening at all.
SFX: BAKU BAKU GAH GAH MOGU MOGU (Chewing)
Coco: But whenever I see him...
he's always eating in such an unrefined way.......
(On Page): And the sounds haven't changed one bit
SFX: ZUBABABA GAH ZUZUuu
Toriko: Hey, Coco!
Oh, this is great!
I, uh...
Oh, Fluff Boar!
Do you think we came to tell you about those things?
Coco: It's a job request, right?
After all, it's the specific time for capturing the 'Puffer Whale', isn't it?
SFX: Zuzu...
Toriko: I knew you'd figure it out, this'll speed things up!
Komatsu: Co... Coco-san...
You can remove the 'Puffer Whale''s poison sack... then?

Page 38:
SFX: JYUWAA
Coco: A... Ah.... Excuse me...
Komatsu-kun...
you work as a chef at Hotel Gourmet, I heard, right...?
Have you ever handled puffer fish?
Komatsu: Ah... Y... Yes, regular puffer fish......
Coco: The 'Puffer Whale' is also even known by the name 'Water Flea Whale' since as its name suggests, its body size is so small it's near that of a puffer fish. [ 'Water Flea Whale' bold]
Because of that, there are many chefs who try their hand at it using the techniques one uses on a puffer fish.
And once a decade when the 'Puffer Whale' appears on the market, 100,000 people will die from poison within a year.

Page 39:
Komatsu: One hundre...
100,000 people...?
Coco: The 'Puffer Whale''s poison is a nerve poison which is fatal by ingesting only 0.2 milligrams.
It's an eminent deadly poison across the whole natural world.
And what's more, once the poison sack is ruptured, the entire 'Puffer Whale' becomes "toxic" and then no part of it can be eaten anymore...... [toxic in bold]
But well... there are still lots of people who'll eat it even after it becomes toxic...
Let me say this first... Even for me, the probability of being able to capture a 'Puffer Whale' without it becoming "toxic" is 50%.
So 1 in 2 fish will fail and become toxic...
And then once they're captured, the probability of removing the poison sack without it rupturing is 20% on top of that...
You're sure I'm the one you want to request for this then, Toriko?
Toriko: Naw, that's plenty...
If I did it, it'd be 0%.
don't have the skills to handle something that delicate at all.
Coco: And there's some pretty unfortunate data I should mention.

Page 40:
Coco: In recent years, what has become the 'Puffer Whale"s spawning ground has been the "Sandy Beach of the Cave"---- [Sandy Beach of the cave big/bold]
With a length several dozen of kilometers in total and a depth reaching 800 meters, the probability of escaping that maze-like cave and reaching the "Sandy Beach of the Cave" is roughly----
0.1%
Apparently only 1 in 1000 pro Bishokuya make it...
Center Insert: "Sandy Beach of the Cave"
Left: (Sea)
1000m deep into the sea

Page 41:
Toriko: That's plenty...! It's higher than the success rate for diving and going in through the sea side. [First sentence bold]
Coco: That's not all.
There's the demon beast from Hell
the "Devil Orochi"...!!
T/N: Orochi is a legendary serpent, often a specific one with 8 heads.
Coco: It's even said to be on par with the beast that was sung of as the strongest creature in ancient times, the "Battle Wolf". [Battle Wolf in bold/big]
That legendary demon beast lurks inside the cave...!! And there are a lot of other dangerous creatures there, as well...
Toriko: Hahhah, yeah, but from their perspective
you're way more dangerous, Coco!
Coco: Toriko.
Toriko: Hey, enough already.
I'm well aware of the dangers involved.
More importantly, let's hear it.

Page 42:
Can you see
the shadow of death on Komatsu or me?
Coco: All right. I'll accompany you.
Toriko: AAALLL RIGHT! I knew you'd come through, Coco!!
That's why you're a Bishokuya!!
What do you think about getting all you can eat for life at Hotel Gourmet as a reward?
Komatsu: We can't do that!! Why is my restaurant part of this?!!
(On Page): For life?
Coco: How many years has it been since I've gone on Bishokuya work...?

Page 43:
Coco: Even so...
the shadow of death... huh?
Komatsu: But you must be glad, Toriko-san.
Coco: This is bad...
I can see it quite clearly...
