Komatsu: Okay!
First...
Uniformly strike every inch of its body!!
Like how you'd soften mean with a meat tenderizer!!
The more power...
the better!!
Toriko: The trick is gonna be first slipping through this rain of attacks and then hit him.
And to hit his whole body uniformly..
Zebura: Okay, leave this to me.
Cover your ears.

Toriko: Concentrate on cooking.
When an ingredient goes wild, a cook can't lose his head...!!
Komatsu: ..........
Zebura: Now,
keep on cooking.
Komatsu: Toriko-san...
Zebura-san...
Thank you!!
Narration: Just like he did with ingredients----
Komatsu poured matchless love into his cooking implements.
And he pictured Toriko and Zebura as trusted tools.
Against this cooking, Komatsu
exhibited overwhelming power of concentration-----
Komatsu: Next iiiiiiis

Page 12:
Narration: Toriko's and Zebura's worry was----
their power of endurance as "tools"...
The two men's current energy totals were
1.9 million kilocalories for Toriko
and 2.55 million kilocalories for Zebura.
Against an incredibly strong ingredient---
and predicting the cooking time that was yet to come,
it was necessary for the two of them to carefully chose their techniques.

Komatsu: Next, stimulate the undersides of its feet!
Clockwise from the front right foot!!
Zebura: Leave that to me!
SFX:VAA
Sphinx: !
Komatsu: !

Page 14:
Komatsu: Next, take out one feather each from both its wings
at the same time!!
This part's hard.
Toriko: Hahah. He said at the same time, Zebura.
Match with me.
Zebura: Don't be stupid. You, match me! [You and me in italics.]
Ready, set...
Toriko
NURYA
Zebura: NUN
Sphinx: GO...
GOA..
SFX: JIWA.. HAH HAH
Komatsu: Okay! Its tear glands are swelling!!
I think I figured it out somehow!!
When this guy eats prey, he stores the nutrients as dextrose, grape sugar, in his "tear glands"!!
And the one time a year where it expels that is right now----!!

Page 15:
Komatsu: They say that when a sea turtle lays eggs, it expels its excess salts that are stored up in its body in a way that looks like crying, but...
This beast has a large quantity of dextrose in its tear glands.
That dextrose is the "base" of the Mellow Cola!!
And if it's stimulated with the methods recorded in this book first,
the carbon dioxide inside the body will dissolve into carbonic acid in the tear glands, completing the Mellow Cola...!!
I can see the end of the cooking process----!!
Just a little more!!
Toriko-san, Zebura-san!!
Please keep it up!!
Both: Right!

Page 16:
Toriko: H... How's that...?
SFX: FURU FURU HAA HAA
Toriko: But, man...
he's a tough bastard.
SFX: HAA HAA
Zebura: After all this...
he finally calmed down...
Komatsu: Toriko-saan, Zebura-saaan!
This is the last process!
Please beat the snake-tail with all your might!!
Zebura: This thing...?
Toriko: Let's pour in all the power we've got left, Zebura.
Zebura: Go~cha...
Toriko: 15 Ren...
Zebura: Voice...
