Title: Gourmet 371 Confrontation of the Era!!
Acacia: Oo...
Ooo.
This is...
Insert: The Bishokushin's eyes sparkle at the "diety"!!
Author: Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi
Acacia: This planet's Main Dish,
"God"...!!
SFX: DO DO
Acacia: Its final form...
!?

Page 2:
SFX: BUUUN BUUUUUN
Aca: So there are flies...
hovering around...
this world's highest class ingredient....
2 huge ones...and 4 small ones...
SFX: BUUUUN
SFX: ZUZU...

Page 3:
Aca: Don't be greedy...
You human brats...
SFX: ZUA

Page 4:
Toriko: You bastard....!!!
You're Acacia...?!!!
Aca: .........
I guess I'm
pretty famous...

Page 5:
Coco: The originator of the 'Gourmet Age'...
People even learn about him in school.
Your level of fame is beyond that of even the most famous religious figures and presidents...
Learning that you're still alive would be quite a scoop, I'd imagine...
Aca: In that case,
I'd like a bit more respect....
Wouldn't you say, Joa?
Joa: Yes...
What are you so mad about
SFX: POH
Joa: in the first place, Toriko...?
!
SFX: BOBOU BUUUUN
Star: Don't move.
Or I'll kill you.
SFX: BOBOU
Joa: ..........
I just thought I'd make a 'Back Channel'...
With God in front of us, we have no time for idle chat, after all.
Aca: These two...

Page 6:
Aca: Hm. Maybe the two big flies
are them...?
Toriko: You killed Jirou, didn't you?
Aca: !
Toriko: I know that huge fights have been going on all over the world...
And right in front of you...
Jirou-san's scent disappeared...
Joa: Oh.
Then you know about the one I won, too?
Toriko: You didn't in.
Joa: !
..........

Page 7:
Toriko: He was supposed to be your disciple...
Why would you do that to Jirou...?
Aca: ......
This might be the last time......
I speak with a human...
......I've been thinking about it for quite some time now......
About just what in the world I am...
I think it was around age 4 or 5 that I lost my viriginity as a Bishokuy...
Insert: *To hunt a yet-undiscovered ingredient and be the first in the world to eat it.
Aca: I can't remember that first ingredient, but...
I can remember quite well the "monster" lurking inside me...
that I could not suppress no matter what i did...

Page 8:
Aca: Who am I...?
What is this monster...?
I spent my days asking myself those questions...!!
Every time I grinded my teeth, I would start drooling...
The rapid heartbeats... The hot-bloodedness...
the unstoppable anger... The love that drove me near insanity...
Did those emotions really belong to me...?
Was it not that thing, my appetite,
that was controlling my life?!
I ran like a madman...!!
I went as fast as I could, trying to escape it...!!
When I came to my senses...
I'd devoured all of the ingredients in this world...
There were no longer any new ingredients left before me...
All that was left was a mountain of cleaned plates...
and my empty self...

Page 9:
Aca: Was I really running away from my appetite...?
Or was my appetite behind me, pushing me forward...?
The one that told me that... ["that" in italics]
was my appetite, as well----
That there were still ingredients I didn't know...
That there were ingredients I hadn't seen...
He whispered everything into my ear...
I ran......
I ran like a madman...
This place I had taken so long to reach was not the goal...
it was the starting line...
Where did I come from...
and where was I going...?
There was only one thing I said to Ichiryuu when I left......
Ichiryuu.
Ichi: !
Aca: I have something to tell you.

Page 10:
Ichi: Acacia-sama....
Aca: Ichiryuu....
Along with the food of the people...
I entrust my destiny with you...

Page 11:
Ichi: I just...
wanted to know what I really was...
That's only natural, wouldn't you say?
Jirou's death was destiny...
Because god has illuminated my future...
No....
Perhaps I......
am God...?
SFX: GASHII (GRAB)
T/N: They're talking about like a diety god here, not the ingredient.

Page 12:
Aca: !
SFX: GUIH
Toriko: You should be grateful I just stood here and listened while you spouted that nonsensical bullshit from your mouth!!!
You're just blaming your goddamn appetite, your Gourmet Cells, on everything, you gourmet egotist!!!!
We always decide our actions....
and move on our own wills!!
Like the anger I have right now...
isn't because of my appetite!!!
My soul is shaking!!!!

Page 13:
Aca: ...........
I am the "Gourmet God".......
The lapels you're grabbing right now...
are those of the the whole world... No, the entire universe.
Toriko: Nope...
They're just the lapels of a single B-class Bishokuya...
Aca: What...
are you...?
Coco: He's Toriko.

Page 14:
Coco: He's one of the Gourmet Four Heavenly Kings, Toriko...
This isn't...
your era anymore, Acacia.
Aca: Joa...
JOAaAAaaA!!!!
WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?!!
Toriko: !!
SFX: BAH
Aca: Why the hell do you think I'm jabbering on with a long story like this?!!
Joa: I attacked quite some time ago.

Page 15:
Joa: But my "microbes" aren't working... [quote bold]
These people...
seem to have come up with some countermeasures against my microbes.
Toriko: Unfortunately for you...
we have a microbe user on our side, too...
!
Handwritten: Ooh.
SFX: PIRI... (TENSE)
Aca: That face of yours...
SFX: ZUZU
Aca: sure is brimming with hope, isn't it...?
The Nitro I ate before was the same.
Guys like that taste teeeerrible. But even when I ate hiiim,
he didn't feel despair, even at the verge of death... Why is that?

Page 16:
Toriko: That's because with his final moments, he told the greatest hope there was...
the 'way to cook God' to us, don't ya think...?
Narr: The moment Jiji was devoured by Neo----
In that extremely-limited 0.1 second,
he let out a powerful yell in his mind.
And that message of hope was smelled by Toriko,
heard by Zebra,
sensed through electromagnetic waves by Coco's synesthesia...
felt through vibrations by Sunny's sense of touch...
Each of them undoubtedly picked up his signal.
Toriko: In a mere 0.1 second...
You could say it was a feat only possible as a result of their mastery of 'Enbu'.
Toriko: Well, 'Enbu' also...

Page 17:
Toriko: was taught to us in 'Area 7'....
by a Blue Nitro...
SFX: GOOOOO
Pair: .........
Earth's "God".......
its final form is a frog shape, huh...?
Guy: Finally.
Pair: Where's Center?
Nitro: He probably went off somewhere carrying "Center".
Soon...
Very soon...
everything will end...

Page 18:
Aca: When somebody's filled with hope...
unless you turn it into despair...
they won't taste good...!!
Show it to me!!!
Show me your warped face...!
Show me the screams of your soul...!!
Toriko: I don' wanna.
Coco: Leave this one to me!!
Toriko!!!

Page 19:
Joa: Leave it to you?
You fool...
Do you think I will personally take on each one of you little flies individually?
Tokage----
SFX: ZU...
SFX: ZUZUZU...
Joa: Okay, I'll get down to cooking
God!!!
!
God: ........
..........
Side: SOmething strange is going on with God!! Is it awakening? Or perhaps-----?!
Bottom: Toriko
