Did I surprise you, Komatsu?
SFX: WAHHAHHA
Title: Gourmet 146 Surprise Apple!!
Komatsu: S... Seriously, what was with that all of a sudden~~~?!
Please don't show up with a face like a demon anymore~~!
(On Page): That really surprised me~~
Toriko: Sorry...
I was just doing a kind of training.
Komatsu: T... Training?
What kind of training?
Training to scare the wits out of someone? That's a little tasteless, Toriko-san.
Toriko: Yeah... Actually I'm trying to surprise
a certain ingredient...!
Komatsu: Eh?

SFX: ZAZAAAA
Komatsu: "Surprise Apple"?
TL Note: Surprise Apple = Bikkuri Apple
SFX: VUVUUUH
Boat: Bishokumaru
Komatsu: What is that?
Toriko: It's a mysterious apple that's flavor changes when you surprise it.
Komatsu: EH~~~!? There's really an apple like that?!
Toriko: It doesn't show up on the market too often, so I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it.
It's a special kind of apple that originally grew only on an island of endless fights between wild beasts called "Battle Island",
but in recent years the IGO retrieved seeds from there and has been successful in artificially cultivating them.
Komatsu: S... Surprise it...?
And it's an apple, right...? ["apple" in italics]
Toriko: Yep. And as it turns out
the more you surprise the apple,
the more tasty it gets!

Page 6:
SFX: DODON
Komatsu: !!
WUAAAAAH What was that!?
(On Page): A bomb!?
Toriko: Oh.
Tomu: There it is, Toriko!
We'll be there in a second!
Toriko: Yeah.
Looks like it's already gotten started.
The "Surprise Island" "Scare Festival"!!
Narration: One of the islands controlled by the IGO, "Surprise Island"----
It is an island used solely for the cultivation of the "Surprise Apple".
The island has a human population of zero----
That is because...
SFX: ZAH

Page 7:
Toriko: All right------ we're here!
Komatsu: WH... Wh-Wha... What is all this noise~~!?
SFX: BAAN DODOON ZUUUN DOGOOON DOOON BABAAN ZUUUN
Toriko: In order to make the "Surprise Apples" grow to be more delicious, they're shooting off bombs at the farm around the clock.
So there ain't even any private farmers that live on this island permanently.
Komatsu: With all this noise, nobody could live here if they wanted to!
(On Page): They'd never sleep at night
SFX: DOOON ZUDODODO
Tomu: I'll be waiting here for ya.
I'm expecting some delicious Surprise Apples, Toriko!
Toriko: You can count on it!
I'll scare 'em to death!!
Menu: Menu 10.
*"Surprise Apple"
Asterisk: Fukuoka Prefecture's 森本斗悠-kun's work!!

Page 8:
Sign: Surprise Farm
SFX: DOON ZUUUN ZUDOOON BAGAAAN
Komatsu: Th... This is a farm?
It's even noisier over here~~!
Toriko: The "Surprise Apple" only grows once a year at this time.
SFX: BABABABA SOGOON ZUUUN
Toriko: Because the "Scare Festival" where you have to surprise the "Surprise Apple" happens in this season every year,
tens of thousands of people gather here and the island gets even more noisy than normal.
SFX: ZUUN
Zonge: GAAHHAHHA
Is this where those things that wanna get scared are!?
SFX: ZAH
Then I will
scare those things so much they piss themselves from every pore in their bodies!
Hm?
SFX: SUN SUN
Zonge: GYAAA YOU SCARED ME!!
(On page): What is this thing!?
Henchmen: Zonge-sama!! You're pissing from every pore in your body!!
Komatsu: It's Zombie...
Toriko: How exactly is that guy gonna scare anything...?
SFX: BIKUH BUSHAA

Page 9:
Apollon: Oh my, what do we have here...?
Isn't that the ancient king, the Battlewolf?
Toriko: Hm?
Apollon: And if it isn't Toriiiko of the Gourmet Four Heavenly Kings?
It looks there are quite a few challengers we can expect something from this year.
Somebody: It... It's one of the members of "G7", Mr. Apollon!!
Description: GOURMET 7
(Taste Master)
-----Apollon----
Komatsu: Wh... Why would someone who is a taste master...
Toriko: To check the taste of the "Surprise Apples" of course...
The "Surprise Apples" are also known as the "Human Faced Apples". They have faces like people.
In other words, you can roughly gauge how surprised they are based on how they look.
Though actually how good they "taste" can only be found by actually eating them.
Komatsu: ..........Hu......
Human Faced Apples...!?
Apple: MIGYAAAAH!!!

Page 10:
Komatsu: GYAAAH!
Apple: MUGYAAH!!
MIGYAAAH
Komatsu: Toriko-san, what is this thiiing!?
Toriko: Hm?
That's a "Surprise Apple".
Komatsu: This thing's alive!!
Wait, is this even really a fruit!?
Toriko: Okay, let's get started.

Komatsu: R... Really spirited, aren't they all...?
Toriko: That's because a surprised Surprise Apple can be sold for a high price... Everyone's giving it all they've got.
SFX: DOGOOO
Toriko: AH, there it is! The "Speaker Stone" I got from Melk the 1st. ["Speaker Stone" in bold.]
Komatsu: ...What is that exactly?
Toriko: Cover your ears, Komatsu.

OooOOH

I'd expect no less from Toriko!!!
What sorta "Surprise Level" do you think that was!?
Apollon: Oookay.
Let's take a looook.
Hm, hm, thiiis is...
Surprise Level "27"!
People: UOOOOH someone actually got a Level 27!!!
That's the highest priced one today, ain't it?
Komatsu: Toriko-san, what is a Surprise Level exactly?
Toriko: Hm.

Page 13:
Toriko: It's a value used to indicate the level of surprise in a "Surprise Apple".
They go from 1 to 100 and they each have a different value.

Toriko: I just got a Level 27, so...
Its price suddenly shot up to 13.5 million yen.
Komatsu: He~~~h.
Toriko: But it's not that easy to intimidate a "Surprise Apple".
Just loud sounds and shockwave won't necessarily scare them. They vary on the individual as well...
Tsurara: Oh dear...
What a boisterous place this is...
Toriko: Hm?
Komatsu: Ah.
SFX: ZAWAH
Somebody: That's... "Tsurara Mama"!!
Tsurara: I think I will help myself to 2 or 3...
Somebody: It's the big mama of "Snack Tsurara"!!
As a "chef" she's within the top 50 on the world rank! That super famous Mama!!
Wasn't she originally a pretty skilled Bishokuya!?
I've never seen her in person before...!!
SFX: SU...

Page 14:
Tsurara: Don't be afraid, little one.
I would not do such a vile thing as kill you.
I will just
pickle you in formaldehyde
and have you live the rest of your life as a decoration for my shop.
SFX: KATA KATA (trembling)
SFX: ZOAAAAA AWAWA
Apollon: Level...
20...!!
Tsurara: Uhuh.
Well, this one seems to be in good condition...
Komatsu: A... Amazing... She threatened it...
So you can intimidate them that way, too...?
Toriko: Hmph, I wouldn't expect any less from Tsurara Mama.
I'd like to check out her shop someday.
Oookay, next I'm gonna go for the opposite. ["opposite" in italics.]

Page 15:
Toriko: I'm gonna intimidate it...
with "power".
"17" Ren...
SFX: MIKI BIKI
TL Note: 17 Ren Kugi Punch = 17-Hit Nail Punch
SFX: ZUAAAA

Apple: GYAAAA
Apple:AGYA
SFX: BOH
Toriko: Ah,
Dammit!
Apollon: Whaaa, that's too baaad!
Just now...
It would have beeeen at level 50~~~
You mustn't damage it! It must be absolutely all intimidation!!
Toriko: I stopped my fist too close to it, I guess...
I put too much force into it, too...
Sorry, Surprise Apple.
SFX: MOGU MOGU (chewing)
Guy: Haha... Man, that Toriko sure is incredible...
The destructive power of that bare handed punch would even put a missile to shame...!!
Ookay, we can't let him show us up!
Yeah!!
SFX: DOGOOON BABABAAAN DON GAGAAAN ZUUN
Komatsu: WAAAH!!
WUAAAH!!

Zonge: HAA
HAA
H... How about that!?
HAA
I'll bet your heart is about to burst, ain't it!?
Henchmen: That thing was a bad one, Zonge-sama!
It wasn't even looking in the first place!!
SFX: SHIIIN
Zonge: Whaa~~t? Stupid apple~~!!
Well, I guess I'll just eat it like this.
Toriko: Hey, Apollon-san.
Apollon: Oh, what iiis it, Toriiiko?

Page 18:
Toriko: The Surprise Apples...
What's the highest Surprise Level anybody's ever given one?
Apollon: Hm, yeees.
In the past there were a feeew with a level in the 90's that appeared on the maaarket.
Komatsu: 90's!? Who on earth did those!!?
Apollon: The President of the IGO, Ichiryuu-dono was level 95. ["The President of the IGO, Ichiryuu" in white]
Toriko: The old man!?
Apollon: And Knocking Master Jirou-dooono also knocked out a leeevel 92. ["Knocking Master Jirou" in white.]
Toriko: I see... Props to them.
Apollon: The other one is not officiaaaal, but...
There are reports that someone in the Bishokukai also gooot in the 90's. ["Someone in the Bishokukai" in white.]
Toriko: The Bishokukai, huh...?
......I think I could get at least get around the 70~80 range without a problem.
I've gotta get some more training done.
Apollon: Strength is impooortant as well. but
the Surprise apple is surpiiised by things it can't easiiiily expeeect, so
being suuudden or unprediiiictable is aaalso gooood.
Toriko: Apollon-san, the way you talk is totally unpredictable.

Page 19:
Toriko: Sudden... huh?
Ok, I'm gonna give it another shot!
Thank you, Apollon-san!
Apollon: It was nothing. I wish you Food Luck, Toriko-saaan.
Hm?

SFX: SHAKU
Apollon: -------!!

How on earth...
There's someone... among these people!?
Someone stong enouuugh to reach Level 80...!!?
Could it be...
The Bishokukai!?

Page 20:
Zonge: GODDAMMIT!!
I can't take this anymore!!
I quit! let's go home!!
Henchmen: EEEEH Zo... Zonge-sama, you're gonna leave!?
Zonge: Dammit, not only is it not scared,

SFX: BUH
Apple: !
MOGYAA
PIKYAAAH

Apollon: Ah.

Side: With one little fart, 80 Million yen!! Could this be his calling!?
Toriko: Wha...

Narration: What scared an apple the most that day was...
Zonge: Has my time come----!!?
Narration: not Toriko nor Terry...
