Toriko 164
Gourmet Tasting!!
Only for HWMN.
The fate of the world depends on the outcome of a children's card game..
[Toriko 164 Translation by Kewl0210]
Page 1:
Live: "Concentration"
do you know if it?
TL Note: The Japanese name for the card game "concentration" translates to "nervous breakdown", so it has more to do with the brain motif.
Side: A death match with food on the line!!
Our match will be a simple card game.
I'll now explain the rules.
You all
bet your memories...
Bottom: "Toriko"

SFX: BABAN
Live: We will be using "Gourmet Tasting Cards". [quote in white]
The backs have "numbers" the fronts have "ingredients" and their point values. [quotes in bold.]
Circles: Back
Front
Page 4:
Live: First we place all the cards face down and line them up, then turn them over two at a time.
If you get the same ingredients, it's a "Hit", then you eat all of that actual ingredient and earn the points written on the card.
If the same ingredient doesn't come up, it's an "Out" and it becomes the other player's turn.
On page: Eat All
10 Points
If there is a case where you can't finish eating the ingredient you "hit", then the points instead go to the opponent's side and it becomes their turn.
By the way, if you can't finish the food twice in a row, then at that point you retire and lose.
Also if you're simply "out" 10 times in a row, in that case you also lose.
On Page: Give Up [Top]
Next Give Up [Bottom Right]
Retire [Bottom Right Below]
Opponent 10 Points! [Bottom Left]
Coco: By getting a hit and finishing the food, do you earn the right to flip cards again?
Live: Yes. But only up to 3 times per turn.
Page 5:
Live: So there are 3 pattern by which the turn can go to the opponent. (1) You simply get an out. (2) You get a hit but you can't eat (1 time) (3) You get 3 hits in a row and finish eating.
By these rules, both sides have a many chances to eat ingredients.
There number of cards is 56!! ["56!!" big]
That is made up of 28 kinds of ingredients in total.
But among those there are 4 cards (2 types) of "Joker Ingredients". [quote in white.]
If you hit those and finish eating them, you can trade just 1 card of yours with 1 of your opponents.
And of course, if you don't finish eating the traded ingredients, you won't get the points.
So what do you think? Well... perhaps I'm speaking too soon.
The one to have the most points at the end, wins.
Now, let's determine the card level. [Heart]
Coco: Level?
Page 6:
Live: Just like how restaurants have a number of stars, the cards have levels.
The higher the level, the higher class and rare the ingredients on them.
But they are correspondingly more difficult to eat ingredients, though. [Heart]
Toriko: About that, if we're playing this game,
then we should have the more delicious ingredients, obviously!
Komatsu: To... Toriko-san.
Live: Huhu, Yes... the levels of the cards used varies based on the "memories" that are bet.
This time, we'll without a doubt be going with the highest level "V" (five)...
Uhu. I'm looking forward to it. [Heart]
SFX: NII
Live: This will select 1 set of cards made up of random "Level V" ingredients from the several thousand ingredients on the card list.
The numbers on the backs of the cards will also be assigned randomly.
Match: Wait.
That machine randomly selects cards?
Are you telling us to just believe that?
Page 7:
Match: If there's any basis for us to believe cards that give you an advantage won't be picked, try explaining it to it.
Toriko: Match...
Live: I can't explain.
All you can do is trust me.
However...
I may be a chef, but as the owner of Gourmet Casino, I also serve as a dealer.
Understand? I have pride as a gambler... I would not do such a worthless act.
Also, there's nothing entertaining
about winning by using a trick, you know? [Heart]
Coco: ..........
This guy...
Match: Would you let me choose which cards we use?
Let me pick out which set to use, and shuffle it further... And then, for this game...
Page 8:
Match: let me be the dealer...!
This arena belongs to you, the Underground Cooking World, so please at least grant me that much.
Komatsu: Th...
Then I......
I think I'd like...
to cook the ingredients that we hit...!! That's my duty!!
Toriko: And of course, my duty will be eating!!
Coco, you'll guess all the ingredients, rightr?!!
Coco: Yeah.
Leave the drawing of the cards to me!
Page 9:
Live: Great! It looks like everyone's on board. [Heart]
Let the "Food" Concentration!! [quote bold]
"Gourmet Tasting" Begin!! [quote white]
SFX: BAN
Page 10-11:
Toriko: Are you okay being by yourself?
Livebearer.
Live: Of course. [Heart]
Rather are you
all right with it being just the 3 of you?
Toriko: Ah?
Live: Past challengers have tried to gather a large number of people in an attempt to improve their chances of win.
A group of skilled chefs and eating contest champions... Right now I will accept up to 10 people.
By the way, I'm always alone. [Heart]
Page 12:
Live: My current record is 214 wins and 0 losses.
Uhu
Every last one of my customers have had their brains left flat out broke.
Coco: .........
Is that so...?
Let me give you some advice,
you had best not group us together with the customers you've had up until now.
Live: Ooh, really?
You sure are confidence.
Coco: You'll soon find out.
Match: Let's decide who gets up to bat first.
I'll do a coin toss. Heads or tails...?
Live: I'm representing the underworld,
so I'll choose tails.
TL Note: In Japanese these both use the same kanji for "reverse" or "back".
Match: Coco, are you all right with heads?
.........
Coco?
Page 13:
Coco: Neither.
That's what I choose...
Match: What...
Toriko: Coco...
Komatsu: Coco-san!?
Live: ..........
SFX: KIIIN
SFX: KIIN KIN KIN
SFX: KORO KORO (Roll)
SFX: KURIN
Page 14:
SFX: KORO KORO (Roll)
SFX: PITAAAA
Komatsu: ------!!
Th... This is...
Coco: Neither tails...
nor heads...
So then, shall I bat first?
Toriko: Oooh! Man, what was that?!
Komatsu: Coco-san!!
How did you know the coin would stand on its side!?
SFX: OOO
Match: ..........
I intended to toss it completely normally, but...
Page 15:
Live: Uhu [Heart]
Interesting.
SFX: OOOO
Live: It seems you certainly are different from the customers I've had so far.
Eh... Go ahead and take the first turn.
Match: Pick a number.
I'll turn over the cards.
Someone: First up to bat is the Team Coco, Toriko, Komatsu!
Coco: .........
Number 8.
SFX: SU...
Someone: !!
Th.. This is a...
*"Cheringo"!!
TL Note: Cheringo is a portmanteau on "Cherry" and "Ringo", the word for apple. There's really no way to force a translation out of that.
Asterisk: *Yamagata Prefecture's Penname Manango-san's work!!
Page 16:
Toriko: That's a rare kind of cherry!
Coco: ..........
Komatsu: It's a high-class ingredient!
Coco: Number 29.
Match: ...At first there'll be a lot of out, but as more and more get turned over
the priority will become having a grasp of which number goes which which ingredient.
SFX: SU...
Match: !!
Eh!?
Komatsu: WAaAA he suddenly got a "Hit"!!
Toriko: "Cheringo"!!
Aaawesome, Coco!
Live: Ah?
SFX: AAAAAA
Page 17:
Guy: Please eat all of these "Cheringos".
Someone: Here they aaare!!
There pretty much don't need any cooking, Toriko-san!!
Toriko: AAHM!
YUUUM!!
Announcer: Team Coco Toriko Komatsu
Coco: Now,
shall we keep this going?
Announcer: Acquire 10 points!!
SFX: WAAAAA
Side: There are no blind spots in Coco's "Sight"!!
Live: ........
A coincidence...?
No, that isn't it...
This man...
He knows which cards are hits...
It looks like I'll
have my first enjoyable game in a long time. [Heart]
Uhu [Heart]
Bottom: Toriko
