Somebody: -dy
Asarudy!

Page 4:
Guy: What's wrong, Asarudy?
Did you just see the outcome of the match?
There are patterns to stories, after all.
I'd expect someone like you that reads around 10,000 books a year can already predict how things are going to pan out, no?
Guy: Taking them on one by one is gonna be such a pain.
Can't I just take them all on at once?
Asa: Condor,
this is not fiction...
A story even I cannot predict may be awaiting us...

Page 5:
Asa: If we do not take them seriously...
then the ones that end up at the bottom of the "Soul Furnace" may be us. [quote white]
Con: Huh......?
A story like that sounds like garbage.
SFX: KASHAAN
Con: Hm?
What's that?
Guys: OOOO!!
That's...
SFX: OOOO

Narr: It's a *"Casket Crab"!! [quote White]
Asterisk: *Fukuoka Prefecture's Penname Moriageeru-san's work!!
Narr: The Food Spirit World 'refrigerator' said to preserve extinct ingredients!!
The appearance of this crab can only meaaan...
we're about to see some unknown extinct ingredieeeent!!!
Guy: Don Slime, that sly dog...
Did he get Food Spirit World's permission?
SFX: AAAAAAA
Kan: Making it an ingredient we're both seeing for the first time makes it fair...
But we're going to be the winners either way...
Seeing as we can hear the voices of Food Spirits...

Page 7:
Kan: They'll simply stand there without a clue in the world what to do
and curse their own powerlessness as they regret ever coming here.

Guy: Th...
There it iiiis!!
The flame to Gourmet Stadium's famous 'Soul Furnace' has been lit!! [quote white]
Blazing like flames in it are not desires for revenge, but "Food Desires"!! [quote White]
And the fuel that powers it is not gas nor electricity,
Guys: What a strong flame!!
Scaryy!!
Guy: It is the burning "appetites" of souls which were hungry in life!!
Rin: Did he say Food Desires?
Handwritten: HIEE
Match: What a repulsive furnace.
Ai: Hm?
Something else is coming out.
SFX: WAAAA

Guy: Wh... What is thiiis?!
The Casket Crab has blown some sort of soap bubble!!

SFX: GOGOGO
Yuda: Muh?
SFX: BAH BABAH

SFX: JYAPON SUIIII
SFX: KOPO KOPO
Guys: A... A fiiish?!!
The ingredient the first round battle will center around is a fiiiish!!
SFX: OOOO
Guys: Just what sort of ingredient
is this rare fish?!
The one who cooks this fish to be the most delicious
will be the winner of this first round!!!
Judges: Hohou, I do believe that is a...
...what, again?
I forget...
Ah... it almost just came to me there...
But I lost it.
I'm looking forward to this ooooone! I hope they hurry.
It's a *"Refish". [quote white]
Asterisk: *Saitama Prefecture's Penname Makaroni Gratin-san's work!

Page 12:
Guy: It is a leaf fish that went extinct about 15,000 years ago.
A rare species that once lived in Area 5's 'Multi-Gravity Valley'.
And even then, barely anyone ate it. It is a super special preparation ingredient.
It's a high-class fish that is difficult to not only cook, but also catch.
Guy: That sounds promisiiing. I'd really like to taste that soon!
Damala: So that is essentially... a "fish tank", is it?
Yuda: But that is not water...
Wabu: Nor does it appear to be simply "space"...
Yuda: First we are going to have to capture it from in there in order to cook it.
Interesting... I will take on this challenge.
Guys: Yuda!!
Yuda: Melk, my kitchen knife.
Melk: !
The "All Purpose Blade"
my father made, you mean, right? [quote white]

SFX: DRIP DRIP
Guy: That fish looks like it has a megaton of flavor to it, doesn't it?
Kan: How dirty you are, Condor.
Guy: Quite some drool you've got going there. I'm jealous.
SFX: DRIP DRIP
Condor: To start things off
I'll head in for a bit.
SFX: GUH
SFX: TAH
SFX: SHUIN
SFX: DAPU
Condo: OH!
OOO...
SFX: GUWAAAA

Page 14:
Con: What is this...?
This space...
A strange and powerful gravity is operating from every direction...
I'm being pushed around and around like I'm in the basin of a waterfall...
It's hard to gain any balaaaance!!
Don: Huhuhu... The 'Soul World' doesn't even have the concept of gravity.
So you've really got to be able to cook with precision in something like that...
If you can't adapt to space like that quickly, you shouldn't have gone in in the first place.
SFX: WAAA
Condor: Oooo!
And on top of that, this thing...
is trying to eat me!
It's carnivorous?!
SFX: GUBAA
Con: But, hey... In this match
since I've had tons of experience in the 'back'
I should have the advantage, dammit!!
SFX: KIKII
SFX: GUGUGU
Fish: !
SFX: GUOOOO

Page 15:
Condor: Now!!
Knocking!!
SFX: SHUBAA
SFX: BIKIII
Narr: Oooh, what do we have heeere?!
Out of the blue, he captures it!!
SFX: PUKAAA
Narr: A fantastic use of Knocking on an ingredient he's never seen before!!
I suppose we should expect nothing less from the young genius chef of the 10-Shell Five, Condor Window!!
Guys: KYAAA!
Condoryaaaa!
SFX: OOO
Con: I'm not really young.
But I have a megaton of experience...
No, a gigaton.
Ah?!
Yuda: My age is...
124 years old...
SFX: OO

Page 16:
Yuda: That may be quite a bit younger than you.
My name is Yuda.
I think it hasn't been since I competed with Setsuno-sama, Zaus, or Chiyo-sensei... that I took on someone older than me...
SFX: PUKAA
Yuda: My heart is dancing. Now then, I've captured it.
Shall we begin the cooking...?!
Condor: He completed...
the Knocking?!
Damala: Yuda!!
We knew you could do it!!
Guys: ........
W...
Well, now...
The Human World representative chef...
has also completed knocking already?!
Just who is he...? Oh, I've just been handed some information on him!!
SFX: OOOO

Page 17:
Condor: 124 years old...?
You're just a little brat, then!
I'm Condor Window.
I've lived for over 3,000 years.
Though... I don't remember my exact age.
Yuda: You'd best remember it.
Just 1 millimeter of a lapse in memory...
could be the cause for your defeat to this brat.
Guy: He's...
His name is Yuda!!!
Guys: Yudaa!!
Guy: An authority on medicinal cooking, 1-Millimeter Yudaaaa!!!
SFX: WAAAA
Side: The battle of Yuda VS Condor begins...!!
Condor: Then make this a battle I won't be able to forget!
And I'm pretty forgetful...
so you'd better give your cooking a megaton of impact...!!
Bottom: Toriko

Human World elder VS Spirit Food World rookie...!!! Next issue, the match begins!!
