Guy: Supposedly there's a bunch of people from Human World here!!
Who the hell are they?!
They say they're all really skilled chefs!!
SFX: ZAWA ZAWA (Talking)
Side: Komatsu and the others are showing off their skills at this kitchen of Food S[irits, but...?!
Jiji: Hohhohho.
Looks like we're the talk of the whole country already.
I guess that's what bringing the best and brightest from Human World will do.
SFX: KACHA
Title: 'Toriko'

Page 2-3:
Sky: Mm.
This is delicious.
This new spice has my heart dancing.
Jiji: This is one of 'Blue Grill's' "Seven Shell" Restaurants. ["Seven Shell Restaurant" in big/white]
Title: Gourmet 330 Meeting and Confrontation!!
Author: Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi
Jiji: Its number of "Shells" and...... [quote white]
most of all its bustling activity are proof of their taste.
Chiru: So the number of "Shells" [quote bold]
is similar to the number of "Stars" we use in Human World? [quote bold]
Jiji: That's right. The most is "10 clams".
Chefs are ranked according to a number of clams as well.
Wabu: This is a civilization at the bottom of the sea...
Yet this is beef... Do they perhaps have farms here?

Page 4:
Jiji: Not merely farms, but entire habitats.
The unique ecosystems of land animals are constructed here in 'Blue Grill'.
Guys: That's amazing. Even though it's all inside a huge clam...
Jiji: It's no different from Human World.
There's an afternoon and a night.
They have an administrative body and laws as well.
There population is approximately 500 million.
Komatsu: 500 million?!
Melk: How did Blue Grill
ever become such an enormous civilization?

Page 5:
Jiji: It's thanks to the "Food Spirits".
Both the good and the bad...
Melk: ?
Jiji: The sun is setting soon...
However that just means the "luminescence" from the GIant Shell's ceiling is going to dim...
The shell is alive as well.
You'll understand it once night falls.
The secret of this civilization......
Guy: U~~~~
Hurry u~~~~p!

Guy: I can't hold it in anymo~~~re!

---Chako---
Chako: Ah,
finally!
SFX: JYABAAH
Komatsu: Hewwww! I feel a lot better now.
I guess I ate a little too much.
SFX: GACHA
Komatsu: ...But I wonder where the poop you flush down this civilization's toilets goes...
Hey, do you know?
Guy: No, I don't!! I guess they just let it out into the ocean?
Whatever, just let me in there, pops!!
Komatsu: P... Pops...?
......Well, I guess I am at that sort of age now...
Box: Currently about 29 years old
SFX: GAAAN

Page 7:
Chako: I heard there were some chefs from Human World that came here.
I gotta hurry to get their autographs.
But before that I gotta pee.
Komatsu: Huh?
Chako: Ah! It stinks!!
It really kinda stinks in here!!
Komatsu: N-No it doesn't!
That smell is coming from that thing hanging from your neck.
That's quite a stench. What is that sea urchin thing? ["is" italics]
Chako: Th... THis...?
Huh, Pops, you don't know?!
SFX: JOWA~~~
Both: Ah.
SFX: JOOO BICHA
SFX: JYABA JYABA

Page 8:
Chako: Uhhhh, so, Pops, are you...
one of those Chefs from Human World?!
Komatsu. Yes. My name is Komatsu.
Nice to meet you. And you are?
Chako: I'm Chako.
I'd heard there were some chefs with some pretty amazing skill...
But Pops......
But Komatsu, you really don't look it.
Komatsu: AA~~~~ Uh, sorry, I guess.
Handwritten: No honorific...
Komatsu: There are plenty of incredible chefs in Blue Grill, aren't there?

Page 9:
Chako: Oh, yeah!!
My dream is to become one of those great chefs one day, too!!
Check this out! I got the autographs of the "Five 10-Shells"!! [quote white]
Komatsu: The Five 10-Shells?
Chako: Yep!
They're the chefs of the only 5 "10-shell restaurants" in all of Blue Grill!!
They're heroes of this country!
Komatsu: Heeeh. I'd really like to meet them, too~~
Chako: So Pops...
It's okay, Pops, you don't need to give me any autograph.
Er, I mean Komatsu, right, Pops?
Komatsu: Ah... Yes.. Yeah, it is... Komatsu...
Pops'll keep doing his best.
Hey, by the way, Chako,
what is that smelly thing you've got around your neck?
To me, it looks like it's an ingredient of some sort......
Chako: Huh?
This is a "talisman" called an 'Urchive'. ["urchive" in white]
Komatsu: Talisman?
Ah!
Asterisk: *Shizuoka Prefectre's Penname Okuma-san's work.

Page 10:
Chako: ..........
Uh-
Uh-oh...
Looks like the sun already set...
I've gotta get back home fast......
Komatsu: Huh?
You do?
Chako: Wh... When night falls...
here in Blue Grill...
ghosts come out...
Komatsu: Ghosts...?
As in, like... "souls"? [quote Bold]
Ah, I see! So the strong odor of that 'Urchive' is a "talisman for warding off evil spirits"...?!!

Page 11:
Komatsu: Speaking of which...
There sure are a lot fewer people out and about all of a sudden...
Chako: K... Komatsu...
Komatsu: Huh?
Chako: Komatsu, you don't have a "talisman"...
so you're gonna get possessed!!
Komatsu: HUu
UuUuUuUH?!!
What the hell is thiiiis?!!
SFX: GYUOOO
Chako: RUUUUUN!!
Komatsu: GIEEEEEH!!
SFX: KAH

Guys: So they are this country's "Food Spirits"...? [quote White]
And they appear at night...
Rin: Uh, they kinda just look like monsters to me...
SFX: OOOOO
Guy: We have Urchives installed in the shop...
But it would seem the Food Spirits have an interest in you as well...
Please do not panic.
As long as all of you are alive and healthy, the Food Spirits will not be able to possess you...
However

Mari: The 'Back World' is a different matter.
Unless you are prepared to lose your souls,
you will not be able to go to the 'Back World'.
In fact, even if you are prepared, without adequate cooking skill, you will not be allowed to pass through the gate.
Because it would be a problem for us if you transferred over sloppily...
Chef Jiji.
Don Slime gave his okay.
What do you say?
Jiji: Ah, well,
Of course I don't mind. Do what you want.

Page 17:
Mari: We would like all of you to display your skills for us.
You will be matched against this country's top chefs in a battle of cooking.
Please select 5 people.
Unless you can win in this match, you must give up on traveling to the 'Back World'.
Your opponents will be Blue Grill's "Five 10-Shells".
