Toriko 131

Woo... Who didn't see this coming? Survival in the desert!
A couple of these pages look like Shimabukuro skimped a bit to get this done under the deadline. He might be sick or something, seeing as the last couple chapters have only been 17 pages.

Middle Insert Text: Lives growing hazy...!!
Somebody: "Mirages"----
SFX: GUOWAAAAA
Somebody: Illusions that appear when the light bends and reflects due to the differences in temperature and such in the air.
With "Desert Labyrinth" filled with overwhelmingly different air temperatures and the large amount of impurities in the air, a maze-like "mirage" has appeared.
I ain't happy about this...
I don't care if it is"nature"...

SFX: UON

Page 3:
SFX: KYUAAA
Narration: "Echolocation"
What is called "location through reverberation", the ability to perceive one's surroundings though the reverberation of emitted sound or ultrasonic waves.
Using this, it is possible for Zebura to know in detail the distance and size of objects at a maximum of some 10s of kilometers around him.
Of course, it can also be adapted like a fishfinder for use in solid ground and in water.

Page 4:
Narration: However---
A high amount of concentration is required to perform it.
If for example he's spreading it several 10s of kilometers, Zebura becomes cut off from using any other abilities.
Zebura: You gotta be shitting me...
I still can't find him.
Just how fucking far did you go, kid------!?
UOOOO

Toriko: How's it going, Zebura!!?
Did ya find Komatsu!?
Zebura: ......Yeah...
But...
He's pretty damn far...
Toriko: Far!? Where?
Zebura: In the sand...
He was probably pulled in by the quicksand.
Toriko: In... Inside the sand? Is he alive...!?
Komatsu...!!
SFX: ZAF

Zebura: Huu-----...
At the moment... yeah...
Toriko: ---!
Zebura...
He's restraining his "voice"...
Is he using his abilities to their fullest!!?
He's probably stretching his "map" to his limit.
Judging from the distance of his "Sound Bullet" from "Honey Prison" to the "Gate to the Underworld"...
Zebura's map can extend to a maximum of around 70 kilometers from his current location...
No way... just how damn far...
did you drift, Komatsu...!!?
SFX: OOO

Page 11:
Zebura: Hey, hey, this ain't good...
He's going further and further away.
Plus he's getting chased by beasts in the sand.
Toriko: Seriously!?
Hey, can't you do something, Zebura!!
Like use sound or something to save him!?
Zebura: Shut the hell up a minute.
I could use a "howl bullet" to scare the beasts of from here using intimidation, but [howl bullet in bold.]
TL Note: Howl Bullet = Hoe Dama
Zebura: The kid is drifting at a monstrous speed even right now... At this rate he's gonna go clean out of range of my "map".
We won't have any way to find the kid's location anymore...
Toriko: Let's follow him, Zebura!!
Komatsu's always prepared for death, but...
We're a combo!!
I want to save him no matter what...!!
Zebura: Huhu, a combo, eh...? Getting properly adapted to you is he?
That kid...
SFX: NYa
Toriko: ......Ah?
Zebura: Well, whatever... Huhu... I don't mind going after him, but we'll get all mixed up in the flow of the quicksand whirlpool...
Let's take the land route on the desert.
Hold on tight, and come on to "Desert Labyrinth"... Toriko. ["Desert Labyrinth" in white.]

Page 12:
SFX: OOOO
Zebura: Be careful here.
Toriko: Hm?
Zebura: It may seem flat because of the mirage, but it's really different.
Make sure ya stay right behind me.

Page 13:
SFX: UOOOOOOOO
Zebura: What's wrong Toriko? Gettin' worn out already?
Toriko: Heh... Don't be an idiot.
You're the one who's slowed his pace down, right, Zebura?
Zebura: Like hell I have. I'm just trying to match you, moron.
Toriko: There's really no need to try to match my pace, is there? Ah?
Zebura: Then how abut we sprint it.
Toriko: Feel free.
............
Geez... Hates to lose as much as always...
Zebura being here...
reminds me of the training days...

Page 14:
Toriko: Since a long time ago
he's a guy who's never complained no matter what it took.
...But anyway... This heat and dryness is seriously dangerous...
And I'm flat out of hydration.
!
SFX: DOFOO
Toriko: !!
All right!! A *Sandflower Fish!!
Asterisk: *Kyoto Metropolitan Area Penname Bonchuu-san's work!!
Zebura: Toriko.
We gotta catch that thing.
Toriko: You don't need to tell me!
[This page isn't really fully drawn, is it? You'd think with only 17 pages he'd get it all done.]

Page 15:
Toriko: Down even a drop of blood is precious moisture...
We need to drink it and transfer it to the insides of our bodies...
Narration: At this point in time----
SFX: Jyuru jyuru
Narration: The temperature of "Desert Labyrinth" is 90 degrees.
Reflected by the fire-like scorching hot sand their perceived temperature is easily over 100 degrees.
The moisture that Toriko took in
permeated to the blood all over his body.
Normally when blood has too much moisture, red blood cells rupture causing anemia, but
Toriko's "Gourmet Cells" had already elected strong red blood cells
which successfully stored a large amount of moisture.
By raising his own body temperature another 40 degrees, he could shrink the difference with it and the outer air temperature to the utmost limit
which prevented his body from excreting moisture.
Toriko: I'm adapting
to this environment...!!
You doing okay, Zebura?
Zebura: Ah, about what?
You've already adapted to this desert, huh?
Zebura: Adapted? Don't be a moron.

Page 16:
Zebura: I'm not matching it.
It's a question of weather or not this climate can adapt to me...!!
Toriko: .........
That so...?
Well looks like he's dealing with it somehow...
But...
If Komatsu's still alive...
Then we might actually be pretty lucky...
Though it's probably pretty hard for Komatsu to be able to bear with this kind of heat, huh?
Zebura: That "luck"...
might be the real deal.
Toriko: Hm?
Zebura: That kid... It looks like from the beginning he was heading in towards that place... ["that" in italics.]
Does he even have some talent for getting close to ingredients?
Because we followed the kid so close we wouldn't lost track of him
we ended up getting here.
