1)
white: Hazy life...!!
1: "Mirage"--
2: An illusion brought by the difference of temperature in the atmosphere and the refraction of light.
3: Because the overwhelming difference in temperature in the atmosphere of the "Desert Labyrinth," and the many impurities in the air, it has created a labyrinthine "mirage."
4: I don't like this...
5: Even if it is "mother nature"...

2)
1: No one lies to me
2: and gets away with it!!
3: "Echolocation"
4: Echo Map!!

3)
1: "Echolocation"
2: Also known as "echo positioning," this technique sends out sounds and supersonic waves to determine the condition of one's surroundings through the echoes.
3: It is possible for Zebra to use this and determine the size and details of objects at a max of 10km away from him.
4: Of course, like a fish-finder, it can also be used in the ground and in water.

4)
1: However--
2: This requires a high level of concentration.
3: when the map is spread to close to 10km, Zebra is unable to use any other skills.
4: Impossible!
5: I can't find him.
6: How far away did that kid go?!

1: Uryaaaah!!
2: oooaaahhh
3: --hoo.

8)
1: How's it going, Zebra?!
2: Did you find Komatsu?!
3: ...yeah...
4: But...
5: He's really far away...
6: Far?! Where is he?
7: In the sand...
8: He was probably sucked up by quicksand.
9: In...the sand? Is he alive...?!
10: Komatsu...!!
11: bssh
12-13: gulp

9)
1: Hooooo..
2: For...now...
3: Zebra...
4: His "voice" is 'fragmented'...
5: He's using his ability to its maximum?!
6: He must have spread his "map" to its limits.
7: Which is the distance he tossed the "sound bullet" to the "Gate to the Underworld" from "Honey Prison"...
8: His current map limit is approximately 70km...
9: Impossible...just how far away...
10: was Komatsu carried...?!

10)
1: Dowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
2: Wahh
3: ...eh?!
4: Waaaaaaaaah! Toriko-san!
5: Zebra-saaaan!

11)
1: Hey, this isn't good...
2(2b): He's getting farther and farther away. The beasts in the sand are chasing him, too.
3: Are you serious?!
4: Hey, can't you do anything about this, Zebra?!
5: C'mon, can't you like, use sounds to save him or anything?!
6: Just shut up for a minute.
7: I can shoot out "roar bullets" from here and threaten the beasts,
8(2b): but the kid will still be carried away at a rapid rate...and soon he'll be out of my "map"'s range. Then I'll have no way to locate him...
9(2b): Let's chase him, Zebra!! Komatsu is always prepared for death, but...
10(2b): He's my partner!! I want to save him no matter what...!!
11: Fufu, your partner...has he really adapted properly
12: smirk
13: to you...?
14: ...huh?
15: Well, whatever...fufu...we can chase him, but the quicksand has the sand all jumbled up.
16: Let's go through the desert.
17: Through the "Desert Labyrinth"...follow me closely, Toriko.

12)
1: Be careful here.
2: Hm?
3: It looks like a flat area because of the mirage, but it's actually not.
4: Stay right behind me.

13)
1: What's wrong, Toriko? Getting tired?
2: Heh...that's a good one!
3: You're the one who seems to have slowed down his pace, Zebra.
4: The hell I have. I'm just matching it up with yours, dumbass.
5: There's no need for that, friend.
6: Guess I'll dash, then.
7: Go right ahead.
8: Dammit...he's competitive as always...
9: When I'm with Zebra...
10: it makes me remember my time in training...

14)
1: Ever since long ago,
2: he was so stubborn he would never show any signs of weakness.
3: ...still, though...this heat and dryness is seriously dangerous...
4: It's going to suck all the water out of my body.
*From Bonchuu-san in Kyoto!!
5: There we go!! A Sandflower Fish!!
6: Toriko!
7: You'd better nab that.
8: Of course!!

15)
1: Every last drop of blood is valuable moisture...
2(2b): slurp slurp
3: I need to suck it all up and send it into my body...
4: At this point--
5: The "Desert Labyrinth"'s temperature was 90 C.
6: And with the heated, burning flame reflecting light, their body temperatures were easily over 100.
7: Toriko sent all the water he absorbed
8: to all the blood in his body.
9: Normally, when blood has too much water in it, the red blood cells explode and cause anemia.
10(2b): Toriko's "Gourmet Cells" had already selected strong red blood cells, though, and succeeded in producing a great amount of water.
11: Also, by increasing his own body temperature to over 40 degrees, he was able to lessen the difference with the outside temperature,
12: and kept some water from being expelled from his body.
13: I need to deal with
14: this environment...!!
15: You alright, Zebra?
16: About what?
17: Are you coping with this environment?
18: Coping? Gimme a break.

16)
1: I don't cope.
2: The question is, can this weather cope with me...?!
3: I see...
4: Seems like he was able to...
5: But...
6: If Komatsu is still alive now...
7: Then he may have actually been lucky.
8: It may have been difficult for him to stand this heat.
9: That "luck"...
10: may be the real thing.
11: Hm?
12: That kid...seemed like he had been heading there since the get-go...
13: Maybe he possesses a talent for finding ingredients?
14: What?
15: By chasing him,
16: we "found it."

17)
1: Ohh...
2: Th...that's...
3: the "Gourmet Pyramid?!"
side: The pyramid where cola sleeps!!
Next time, they charge into the pyramid...!!
What mysteries await them?!
