Bru: Y... You wanna go...
in there?!
Ya can't, Aimaru!!
It'd be freakin' suicide!!
My energy's bein' steadily sapped just bein' right here!
Plus we ain't even eaten God yet anyhow...
No way we're ready ta go in there, righ?
Ai: That may be true...
but I have to go...
Bru: Why?!! Why the hell wouldja do somethin' like that...?
Ai: Because I felt "appetite" for the first time since I was born... [quote bold]
To me up to this point, meals have been nothing more than a 'means to an end'. [quote bold]
I've absorbed the minimum amount of energy I need to survive...
No more, no less...

Page 4:
Ai: And while I've always sung of the 'joys of food'...
I may have actually averted my gaze from the true appeal of food...
Now with my Gourmet Cell Demon awakening
for the first time the tones of my stomach sound pleasant to my ears...
Brunch...
I finally have a goal in life...!!
A joyful goal called eating!! ["eating" in italics]
Bru: ......
Aimaru...
Ai: This place is the place my appetite seeks.
That is my one and only reason for going towards it.
Bru: ......
I get ya...
Welp, guess there's nothin' I can do...
No reason for me ta try'n stop ya anymore...
All I can do is pray for your Food Luck.

Page 5:
Bru: Don' get yerself killed,
Aimaru.
Ai: I'm not going there to die.
I'm going there to eat.
Thank you for seeing me this far, Brunch.
Let's both live...
all the way through this...
and eat a meal together with everyone!!
Bru: Yeah!!
Ya can count on it!!
SFX: BAH
Bru: ......
Uhkay...
I'd better get movin', too.
I hope Toriko 'n the others're okay.

I've still only gotten this far...?
Cooking God...
is endless work, but...
this is a scenery...
I've seen in my dreams!!
Narr: Ootake----

Page 8:
Narr: set about performing this undeniably difficult cooking alone...
bravely and without fear...
and taking extreme caution...
in the most gracious and careful way he could...
His knife was not allowed to slip even 0.1 millimeter
as his keen focus guided it.
Ootake: It's so strange...
I'm handling the "divine ingredient", but...... [quote bold]
for some reason, memories of my training days are going through my head...
Back when I used to stay at my cooking station late into the night practicing...
SFX: ZAKU ZARI JURI
Ootake: Dammit.....
Handling this ingredient is so difficult...
and it's only a B-class ingredient...

Page 9:
Ootake: Well, I guess that's just the level I'm at right now......
But just you wait... Someday...
I'm going to cook the best ingredient in the world...
Whew.... 2 AM already?
This is gonna take until sunrise.
Maybe I'll take a little break...
!
SFX: TON TON TON
SFX: TON TON TON TON
Ootake: Somebody besides me...
is training at this hour?

Page 10:
SFX: TON TON TON TON TON
SFX: TON TON TON
Ootake: K...
Komacchan......
He already prepared so much of that ingredient...
I was having trouble with...
I don't have time for breaks...!!
I've gotta get moving, too!!

Page 11:
Ootake: I'm not letting you beat me,
Komacchan!!
Thank you,
Komacchan...
......
Huu...
Why is it I'm...
thinking back to those days now...?
!
SFX: TON TON TON TON

SFX: TON TON TON ZAKU ZAKU SHUH SHUH SAKU SAKU
Take: It's the sound of...
preparing ingredients...
This sensation...
is the same as what I felt back then...
Komacchan?!!

Page 13:
Take: Are you there?
Are you really there?!!
SFX: TON TON TON TON SAKU SAKU TON TON TON TON
Take: That sound...
It always....
ALWAYS gets me motivated!!
He's been my eternal goal...!!
I couldn't ask for a better rival...!!
I'm not alone!!
I'm not cooking God on my own!!!
Ume: That's right, Take-chan.
Take: !

Page 14:
Ume: You're not along, Take-chan!
Take: U...
Ume-chan...?
...Now that I think of it......
on that day...
Ume-chan was at another station...
training until morning, too, wasn't he...?
Take: Huh?
What time are you talking about...?
Take: Uh...
Never mind, it's nothing...
Okay!!
Let's do this together!!
We're up against the world's greatest ingredient...

Page 15:

Ume: Okay!!
Also, uh, why is your hair white, Ume-chan?

Zonge: This place has totally 100% got the air of a final boss battle, don't it?!!
It's like a friggin' cataclysm!!!
The battle scene music is totally final boss music!!
Henchman: You can hear music, Zonge-sama?!
Chichi: You boys seem to be trembling with fear...
Zonge: !
Chi: Well... with a battle like this, can't say I blame ya.

Zonge: GYAAAA! Who the hell is that?!!
SFX: ZUN
Chi: These three... Coco, Sunny, and Zebra...

Zonge: How should I know?!!
Chi: Hm... Sorry it took me so long ta show up...
