Toriko: Wh......
What a tough little guy...
Even after taking a 17 Ren head on...
Zebura: ......But.

Page 6:
Zebura: This is as far as he's goin'......
This guy's life will eventually rot away...
Toriko: Zebura...
Birdman: KA...
Zebura: That Coco guy could certainly see a creature's "shadow of death", but...
But because I've killed such an uncountable number of creatures...
Huhu... that I've come to be able to hear the sound of the grim reaper's footsteps...
There's no help left for this guy...
And on top of that, he'll probably suffer continuously for a few days...
I think for a guy like this who's given us such a fun battle...
I'll make him hear something special...
I'll change the "voice"...
of the grim reaper's footsteps...
You'll feel at ease real soon.
There ain't anybody that can stay alive after hearing this voice.
Expended energy 2 million kilocalories.

Zebura: "Shi Oto"------
TL Note: Shi Oto = Death Sound

Page 8:
Zebura: Huu.
For getting cocky...
that's your punishment.
Toriko: .........
But I can't believe there's a creature like this here...
I saw a similar one before, up above the clouds, but...
He was a pretty mysterious guy, too...
Zebura: Maybe it ain't a creature originally from the Human World...
But anyhow, what's really got me is this guy's "ferocity". ["ferocity" in bold.]
This is the kind that comes from hunger. ["hunger" in italics.]
It's almost like for hundreds of years... No,
It was like for thousands or tens of thousands of years he hasn't eaten any food, based on how desperate he acted.
Toriko: Tens of thousands of years...?
It's hard to me to believe there's something like that that live without eating for that long, but...
Zebura: Anyhow...
SFX: DOKUN
Zebura: !

Page 9:
Zebura: Wha...
Whaat...
SFX: DOKUN DOKUN DOKUN (heartbeat)
Zebura: He's fucking still alive!!?
Toriko: Eh...!?
This guy's still..
.Zebura: No...
It ain't this guy...
Let's roast and eat this guy afterward.
Is someone we thought was dead...
still around?
Toriko: Ko...
Komatsu!!!!
Komatsu: ............
......Nn...

Page 10:
Toriko: Komatsu!!
Are you okay!!?
Komatsu: Y...
eah...
Toriko: ----HAAH
Komatsu!!
Komatsu: ......To...
Toriko...san...
SFX: VUUN
Zebura: Just to be safe, I clad you in stronger "armor" than before successfully.
But even so, with that guy's incredibly strong attack
I thought you really might be dead, kid.
Komatsu: Ze... Zebura...san
Th... Thank you...
so mu...
HAH
That's right.

Page 11:
Komatsu: The cola!!
What about the "Mellow Cola"...!? ["Mellow Cola" in white]
SFX: BAH
Komatsu: Ow...
SFX: DOH
Toriko: !
Komatsu: ......Eh?
Toriko-san...?
Zebura-san...?
Toriko: As soon as I remembered...
I got totally exhausted...
Zebura: Now that you mention it...
my throat's gettin' pretty hoarse...

Page 12:
Toriko: Sorry, Komatsu.
We finally got it to come out, but the "Mellow Cola"...
was stolen...
by that guy before...
Even though you'd...
gone through all that directing of us...
Komatsu: Ah......
Um...
Where's the beast that released the cola...?
Zebura: Ah? Over there. Still sleepin'. ["Ah?" in bold/big]
SFX: PURU PURU (trembling)
Komatsu: It...
It's still there...
Toriko: Hm?
Still?
Komatsu: With the cola, at first
oxidized lye that is stored in the part of tear glands near the surface comes out beforehand.
It's great cola, of course, but
what comes out after that is the really matured cola.
Toriko: Why... hasn't that come out yet?

Page 13:
Komatsu: It's the "amount".
The real cola is from some tens or hundreds of time larger than that lye in volume!!
An amount so big that no one person could drink it all!!
If
that had already come out...
this place would be a pool of cola!!
Sphinx: GO...
GOA...
Toriko: !!
C...
Could it be...
SFX: JHU...
SFX: JHUWAH

Page 14:
Komatsu: These overflowing tears that are coming out now...
are the real Mellow Cola!!
SFX: BUWASHUWAAAA
Toriko: OoA

Toriko: UWAH

SFX: PACHI BACHI BACHI PACHI BACHI
Toriko: What incredible carbonation!!
It's got a sound like a firecracker and has an invigorating bubbly feel!!
All the blood in my body's speeding up at once!!
SFX: PACHI BACHI PACHI BACHI PACHI PACHI
Zebura: HAAAAAAH!!!
So this is the Mellow Cola!!!?
SFX: BACHI BACHI PACHI BACHI PACHI
Komatsu: It's incredible!!
This feeling's so exhilarating!!

Page 16:
Toriko: This is...
something the three of us obtained together...
I give thanks to you, Komatsu...
Zebura...
and...
Salamander Sphinx.
And now...

Page 18:
Toriko: YUUUUUUM!!!!!
Deposited energy
has become sweet "sugar" inside the tear glands.
And that sweetness that's matured a full year
gives forth a sweetness hundreds of times more sugary than maple syrup.
And added to that is a level of carbonation
incomparable to that of champagne or club soda,
so much that if you poured it into a glass
the elegantly rising bubbles would not stop for a whole year.
SFX: SHUGOH SHUWAAA

Page 19:
Toriko: This is the world's best cola!!!?
What an incredible presence!!!
As long as you could think the battles up to that point were boring,
the intense punch of the carbonation instantaneously shook awake every cell in the body.
The overwhelming sweetness of the sugar content took a stranglehold on the body and penetrated to every nook and cranny of it.
Zebura: My body that should've been totally exhausted of all its strength...
is suddenly full with energy!
SFX: BIRI BIRI
No, that ain't all.
This is...!!
My cells are evolving...!!
Narration: That was, unmistakably----

Page 20:
Narration: the ruler of the peak of the Gourmet Pyramid,
the Salamander Sphinx,
and all the creatures in that ecosystem's blessing.
Komatsu: Look, he's making such a happy face!
Toriko: I guess it must feel nice for this guy to let out something it's had stored up for so long.
Zebura: I've decided...
Side: A further problem flares up!!
Zebura: I'm gonna put this Mellow Cola in my Full Course!! ["Full Course" in white]
Komatsu: Eh!?
Zebura: What do you think, kid?
Since you're gonna be in a combo with me, right?
SFX: NIII (Grin)
Toriko: What!?
Bottom: Toriko
