Sun: There it is!!
Coco: That's the 'Birth Cry Tree'?!!! [quote white]
Side: I've heard of big trees, but this is ridiculous...!
Coco: Wh...
What a huuuge tree!!!
SFX: OOO
Title: 'Toriko'
Toriko: Hm...
Hey, it's not night time right now, right?!
Sun: Night?
What're you talking about? The sun just rose a little while ago.
Toriko: Then why...
can I see stars?!

Page 2-3:
Guys: OoO...?!
The tree...
has an entire starry sky in it...?!
Insert: A natural planetarium....!!
Title: Gourmet 302 The True Form of Treasure Food Pair!!
Author: Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi
Kaka: It's also known as the 'Stardust Tree'. [quote white]
All of those things that are shining like stars are
Acacia's Soup!!
They are the Food Treasure 'Pair'!! ["Food Treasure Pair" white.]
Toriko: Huh?!
Those are all 'Pair'?
Kaka: Yes... They've remained as beautiful as ever, it seems.
Originally, 'Pair' was an ingredient decorated to be a display of courtship by male Monkey Kings to a female of the same species.
Having 'Pair' shine more beautifully was a symbol of strength.
And its owner gained the right to leave many offspring.

Page 4:
Coco: So he would be more popular the more beautiful it was...?
It's almost like a peacock's plumage, isn't it...?
Sun: Well, a peacock's plumage I can understand, but...
what the hell part of the Monkey King's body made those 'Pair' that look like beautiful stars?
Toriko: Whaa? Kaka-san, what sorta species is the Monkey King anyhow?
'Bambina' is a name, right? [quote white]
Kaka: Yes... Just as 'Horse King Heracles' is representative of the species "Phantom Beast Herac", [quotes white]
or more famously, 'Wolf King Guinness' is the name of the strongest of the wolves, the "Battlewolf"... [quotes white]
the species of 'Monkey King Bambina'
is the rare beast "Kintamandrill".
T/N: Kintamandrill is a portmanteau of 'kintama' (testicles) and the primate, the mandrill.
Guys: Ki...
Kintama...
ndrill?
N... No way...
You're not saying...
that the symbol of strength...

Page 5:
Kaka: Indeed... 'Pair' is truly a male symbol.
It is Bambina's "testicles"...!!
Sun: HUUUUH?!
Shit, I knew it!
Toriko: So it really is that?!
The testicles are the treasure food?!
Sun: Gross!!
Kaka: Also, apparently the name Bambina
is a name that originally belonged to a female monkey that a former Monkey King courted.
Sun: Bambina!! Grossina!! Gross, gross!
Toriko: Er, well... you hear about testicles being used as ingredients all the time, but...
I can't believe Food Treasure Pair would be testicles.
So, those are supposed to become a replacement for Komatsu's heart...?
That sounds kinda complicated...

Page 6:
Coco: But you don't often see ingredients that shine so brightly.
Sun: Yeah. It looks like a planetarium.
Kaka: The 'Birth Cry Tree' is of course one of the Gourmet 100 Sights.
Toriko: If the Monkey King's balls are the source of all that, I wonder how much flavor and energy they hide...
Well, once we heal Komatsu's wound,
I'd really like to eat Pair under the shade of this tree.
Hm?
SFX: TATAN TATAN
Toriko: ?
Kaka: Now then, let us hurry forward, shall we?
SFX: GOSHI GOSHI

Page 7:
Zeb: Hey, hold it. We finally made it here,
first I'd really like to see normal Pair's taste for myself...
Given that there's so many of 'em after all...
Kaka: Unfortunately, 'Pair' cannot be picked so easily.
There may be many of them, but they are of course super special preparation ingredients. ["Super special preparation ingredients" white.]
They are one of the most difficult ingredients to capture even among Acacia's menu.
We do not have time to capture one now...
Sun: I'll bet Matsu could pick one and cook it right away, righ'?
So once he's better, we can come back and eat some.
Er, well we're going to get the source of them anyhow.
Zeb: ..........
Kaka: Everyone, you have the 'Air'
which you obtained in Area 8, don't you?
Coco: Of course.
Kaka: Please have it ready.
We are about to enter the 'Zero Mountain Rainge'.

Page 8:
SFX: OOO TATAN TATAN
Kaka: Did you feed the Denshark 'Air'?
Sun: 'A course.
And we sent some directly into Matsu's stomach
and now he's inside of a capsule we made with 'Air'.
That'll be a layer of air so oxygen should diffuse inside.
Kaka: Okay, the real trial comes next!
Please brace yourselves!!
Because the "environment" is not all that makes this place a danger zone...
Toriko: Hm?

Page 9:
Toriko: !!
SFX: OOOO
Toriko: N...
No way...
Those are...
natural Sandoriko?!
Kaka: Yes. We should be all right now as the Denshark is doing all it can to hide our presence.
But if we give them even the slightest stimulus...
we will be wiped out.
Toriko: ...........
Kaka: Now then, we are entering the 'Zero Mountain Range'.... [quote white]
Narration: Toriko's group---

Page 10:
Narration: in contrast to the frantic world below...
entered the 'Zero Mountain Range' with uneasy quietness----
2 days had passed since they had left the ruins of the civilization...
They had to treat Komatsu from sudden deteriorations several times...
and while replenishing their own strength with the 'Air' fruit...
they made their way though the 'Zero Mountain Range', a place with almost no sign of life at all...
over the course of a full day...
4 days remain until Komatsu's time limit...
They really could not have hoped for things to go as well as they had so far...

Page 11:
Narration: But the very fact that things were going well...
in fact made the four of them uneasy...
A vague apprehension that could only be felt by veterans of many battles...
Quietly, the four of them...
fired themselves up----

Description: *Tondler
(Mammal Pterosaur Beast)
Capture Level 705
Asterisk: *Okayama Prefecture's 宮本健太郎-san's work!
Toriko: Oo!
There's a flying pig!
Kaka: A Tondler.
T/N: The "ton" in the name likely means pig/pork.
Kaka: It's not a creature you normally see here...
It must have gotten lost...
Ah!
Past there is...
Tond: !

Page 13:
SFX: HYUH ZUDOOO
Toriko: !!
Coco: What is that...?!
Ton: ..........
Ka...
Kaka: We've arrived!!
This is '100 G Mountain'!! [quote white]

Page 14:
SFX: OOOO
Sun: Ooh...!! This is...
the '100 G Mountain' where the Monkey King lives!! [quote white]
SFX: DADAH
Toriko: !!

Page 15:
Toriko: Look!!
That pig that just fell...
it's already crushed flat...!!
SFX: GYUUUU
Toriko: All of its bodily fluids got pulled into the mountain...
It looks like even the bones are gonna crumble before long...
That's all the gravity.
Coco: If you look closely, all of the ground here
is made up of the corpses of organisms.
Kaka: This '100 G Mountain' was formed by hundreds of millions of lives being crushed.
It's a veritable black hole. This pitch-black monkey mountain sucks in everything!!
Ah, Toriko-san!!
Toriko: First...

Page 16:
Toriko: we've gotta try going on it or we won't know...
just what sorta place '100 G Mountain' is...
SFX: ZUN
Toriko: U...
OO...h
SFX: ZUSHII
Toriko: It came so suddenly...!! The intense G's!!
The 'Heavy Hole' I did high-gravity training in in Human World was...
about 5 times normal gravity, but...
this place at the entrance is already 10 times...!!

Page 17:
Toriko: Looks like we'll have to get our bodies used to it little by little or we won't be able to move forward...
The problem is how do we get Komatsu...
......Hm?
Huh?

Next issue, on top of the G's binding their bodies, the mountain-throwing Bambina now attacks...!!
