Don: Heeeeew, how sad...
Once, one of my punches would've destroyed an entire planet...
And that's all it did...?
Ichiryuu...
if this were your body...
Ichi: My...
Gourmet Cells?
Don: Yes... I am the demon that lurks in your Gourmet Cells...!!
The king that once ruled over all the universe...!!

Page 5:
Ichi: Hmm...
Handwritten: Is that right?
Don: Uh, hey! What's with the slight reaction?!!
More like this...
King of the universe?! That's crazy!! Me? Possess talent like that...?!!
I'm so friggin' happy!!
Like that.
Hey, where're you going?
Ichi: To get food.
Don: UIH!
What's this shabby meal?!! Beans...? Are you kidding me~~~~?!
And there's so little of 'em!!
Ichi: These are called Million Seeds.
They're not really ingredients, but...
They've got some pretty good taste...
Don: You're eating stuff that's not food, dude...?
SFX: PORI PORI (CRUNCH CRUNCH)
Don: Aw, geez...
Did I pick the wrong body to enter...?

Page 6:
Don: Show your face...
Neo...
SFX: OOO
Don: That's a face...
that says you were blessed by your host...
Is that really what you're thinking...?
...Hm?

Page 7:
Don: Looks like...
you got picked up by a pretty good master.
SFX: NITAAA (GRIN)
Ichi: Huh?
Who?
Don: Ya know, this guy.
Ichi: Please don't refer to Acacia-sama as 'this guy'.
Don: That man has some insa~~~~ne appetite.
Though your little brother disciple, Jirou, might be even more dangerous.
But, Ichiryuu...
Ichi: !
Don: But you're the most dangerous of all...!!
The one that's got the greatest hidden talent is you, Ichiryuu!!
Understand? Anyhow, eat!!
Eat all ya can, Ichiryuu!!
You'll be stronger than anyone!!
Anyhow...

Page 8:
Don: That's why I'm inside you!
Ichi: Oh, really...? How great are you exactly?
SFX: ZUIH
Don: I'm telling you, I'm none other than the former king of the universe!!
Ya gotta eat much, much more, Ichiryuu!!
The cooking of that Frohze or whatever woman is great!!
The more you eat, the stronger you'll get, Ichiryuu!!
Ichi: But......
We got a new little brother disciple... Those two have emptier stomachs than I do......
I'm fine and I'd rather they eat get to eat to their hearts' content.
Don: What're you talking about?! Seriously, what?! What the hell is with you?!
You're eating something meager like that agaaaaain?!!
You've gotta stuff yourself with a feast once in a while!!
Ichi: This stuff is pretty good, though!!
Handwritten: I'm beggin' you!
Don: Haaah...
Ichi: Oh yeah. You've always been inside me, but, uh...
do you have a name?
Don: Hm?

Page 9:
Don: I ain't got one.
I am Gourmet Cells themselves...
I have nothing beyond appetite and memories of food.
Ichi: Hmm...
Then how about I give you a name?
Don: Huh?
Ichi: We've been hanging out this long, and I've just been calling you 'you' all the time......
Hm, I know... You're all syrupy and you can change into lots of stuff,
so how about "Slime"? [quote white]
Don: Slime?!!
That sounds like the name of some sorta grunt character!!!
T/N: This is a reference to the Slime characters from Dragon Quest, which are low-level basic enemies.
Many times long ago I had my own "eras" in this universe, you know!
In my heyday, I could even reproduce small planets, you know. And you want me to be called Slime?!
Ichi: Well, then let's add a Don. Like a boss.
Don Slime. How's that sound?
Don: Don Slime?
Hm~~~ Don Slime, eh~~~~?
Ichi: Don Slime... When you...
said "Ichiryuu"...

Page 10:
Ichi: That's the name that Acacia-sama gave me...
The first time you called me that...
Don: Hm?
Ichi: for some reason, really made me happy...
People can...... People's hearts can be encouraged simply by being called their names...
At the very least, for me...
it filled my stomach......
Though that may be a bit of an exaggeration...
Thank you...
Don Slime.
Don: ...
Ichi: How 'bout we abbreviate it to Donsli?
Don: You're shortening it already?!!
Don: Hm~~~~... Names hu~~~~h....?
Well that's not gonna fill my stomach, but...
Well...
I guess if I've got one, then I've got one...

Page 11:
Don: Neo...
Has Acacia...
ever called you by that name?
You don't even...
have any interest in your name in the first place. Or even remember it, I'll bet.
For guys like us, we originally had no need for names...
SFX: KAH
SFX: DOU ZAH

Page 12:
SFX: OOOOO
Don: But I...
still adore my own name...
My master... Filled my stomach... filled my heart...
satisfied every one of my cells with something besides food for the first time.
Hey, we did it, Ichiryuu!!
Ichi: Hm? What'd we do?
Don: Do you have to ask? You became President of the IGO!!
Now we can eat all the tasty things we want!!
Ichi: Hey, never mind that, check this out, Slime!

Page 13:
Ichi: These are extinct ingredients that were long ago rejected by the world...
Don: You're eating those things again?!!
Ichi: Flavors no one recognized...
In other words, flavors that were not understood...
Don't you think that being able to savor a delicious taste is a happy thing?
Don: No, not at all.
This is why you can never form a combo with anyone.
Ichi: Don't say that.
Don: Hey, Ichiryuu!!
Where do you think you're taking that feast?!
Ichi: To the children in the slums.
The smiles of children
are a feast for me...
Don: ..........
Hey, just between us, Ichiryuu
I've got a project going on un the sea of 'Area 6' here.
And I want you to eat the ingredients it's making.
Ichi: Naw. Not interested.
SFX: HISOHISO (WHISPER)
Doin: Ichiryuu~~~~ Wai~~~~t!

Page 14:
Don: Ichiryuu...
Why do you have such little desire?
From the perspective of a Gourmet Demon like me,
the life of a human only lasts for an instant...
So you should live your life totally according to your desires so you don't die with any regrets.
You should abide by
me, your appetite...!!
SFX: PORI PORI (MUNCH MUNCH)
Ichi: My dream is...
for people all over the world to eat at the same dining table...
The weak wouldn't cast their eyes down...
and the powerful wouldn't be arrogant...
and everyone would sit at the same table with their smiling faces at the same level...
I think I'd consider that my lone "desire".
Since this short life is going to end someday...
I can live right now... this moment with everything I have.
Don: .......
This belief of his that the "appetite"
that is me, his Gourmet Cells... didn't enter him at all...
.........

Page 15:
Don: Ichiryuu...
Hundreds of years have passed since you and I've met, right...?
These strange beans...
have come to have a never-ending flavor...
Ichi: Yes...
It they do, don't they...?
Because there's an end...
Any food you eat with someone else tastes good.
Live now to the fullest...
Don: That may have been the first time...
That I learned of the reality that an end to this would come someday...
that I would forget something... lose something...
Neo: ..........
W...ea....k...

Page 16:
Neo: Weak....
WEAaAAK.
SFX: OOOO
Neo: Creatures that feel
emotions besides appetite...
are fraiiil.
Don: Acaciaaa
Aca: I entrusted...
fate to Ichiryuu...
This is what God has decided...
Because that man, Ichiryuu, was weak...
God chose me.

Page 17:
Don: ...Weak?!
You call Ichiryuu weak?
SFX: BOH
Ichi: GUAH
AH...
SFX: DODODODO
SFX: BOBOBOH
Don: Ichiryuu!!
This isn't working!!!
You have to get serious, now!!
Otherwise you're gonna end up dead!!
Use me!!
Send out your Gourmet Cells!!
Ichi: Shut up, Slime!!
Take a good look!! This is my...
way of life!!

Page 18:
Don: Until the end, he never once borrowed
the power of me, his Gourmet Cells...
He fought to the end on his own beliefs. And you call him weak...?!
I'll make you eat those words!!
I can resurrect as many times as I want and live forever so abuse doesn't reach me, but...
SFX: GOOO
Don: But I won't let you
complain about Ichiryuu, Acacia!!!
Aca: That's it...
Those emotions are weakness...
Uh...
What are you called again...?

Page 19:
Don: Don Slime!!!
That is the name Ichiryuu gave me!!!
And I'll drive this name...
SFX: GAH
Side: The name that his other half gave him, fights with a sonorous yell!!
Don: deep into your memories...!
Don Knife!!
Don Fork!!
SFX: SHUIIN
Don: Now, hold out, body...
I'm counting on you, Asarudy!
Bottom: Toriko
