tl by molokidan

1)
1: It began in the town known for divination scholarship, "Gourmet Fortune!"
2: When a lone fortuneteller spoke a mere word...
side: The world trembles!!
3: Ohhhh...
4: What misfortune...
5: I see a world of chaos...
6: on a global level...
7: where many lives are taken...
8(2b): A great earthquake--? Or could it be a massive meteor slamming into the
planet?
9: The "information" that soon appeared
10: gave the world a greater shock then any of those natural disasters could--
11: Zebra, discharged from prison--!!
12: Various markets around the world
13: were the quickest to respond.

2)
1: The influence of "the rumor" increase geopolitical risk on a global scale
equal to that of any war, political incident, or natural disasters like tsunami
or earthquakes.
2: Out of fear of the "food damages" yet to come, the stocks of every single
gourmet insurance company in existence began to be sold at a loss down to their
lowest price range limit...
3: On the contrary, construction stock, especially the stock of food
protection-related construction companies working on things like "nuclear
shelter refrigerators," were bought at an overwhelming rate right up to their
highest price range limit...
4: Next came speculative buying out of fear that the chaos of the world would
bring about more injured people, drug manufacturer stocks were bought up, and
stock market business rapidly increased, causing a temporary circuit break
(when deals surge up so fast that they must temporarily stop).
5: Even in food markets, speculative buying from "wanting to acquire the food
before it's stolen by Zebra" saw circulated food prices skyrocket.
6: IGO hurriedly passed a price regulation, starting a fiasco in which the
markets were tranquilized.
7: 25 whole countries around the world gave an "emergency situation
announcement,"
8: and a famous gourmet economist spoke the following...

3)
1: If the news about Zebra being discharged is the truth,
2: then the economic losses of the entire world will easily be over
quadrillions of yen.
side: A single man capable of capsizing the world!!
3: And the damage will be so great,
4: that it will cause over ten developed nations to disappear from this world.
5: The world--
6: was heading toward an age of chaos...
7: Warden!
8: Warden Love!!

GOURMET128 - Discharge!!

4)
1(2b): The news about Zebra has already been leaked!! Society is in an uproar!!
2: Just as I feared...
3: See, that's as far as even being "top secret" can get you.
4: I won't let his discharge from "Honey Prison" end as just a special
exception.
5: I'm going to have Zebra accept some appropriate conditions.
6(2b): C...could you possibly mean...conditions that reflect your personal
emotions toward Zebra...?
7(2b): No, you vulgar man!! Stop saying perverted things!!
8: Sorry to keep you waitiiing!!
9: This is everything!
10: Oh, you finally finished?!
11: ...hmph! A celebration within the prison for a discharge is something
utterly unheard of! I'm going to make sure to bill you for all these expenses,
Toriko-chan.
12: Just bill that man himself, would you?
13: Although, knowing him,
14: he'd probably make some kind of complaint like
15: "you call this shabby thing a celebration?"

5)
1: This much should be enough, right?
2: I'm not sure...
3: Uh...ummmm...
4: Where is...the man in question...?
5(small): Where did he go?
6: He's with the prisoners.
7: gulp
8: Eh?
9: Ahh...you mean he's going to say farewell?!
10: To all the people who took care of him...?!
11: Oh...phew...
12: Zebra-san must be a very courteous man with a sense of duty...
13: No.
14: Eh?
15: He went to murder them.
16: All the guys that whispered bad things about him behind his back...
17: Eh?

6)
1: Zebra has "Hell ears" like you wouldn't believe...
2(2b): He also has the shortest temper out of the Four Heavenly Emperors, and
is quick to fight. I've never met a creature that loves fighting more than
him...
3: Ka ka ka!
4: That's because there isn't anything more stimulating in this world than
fighting...
5(2b): drip drip
6: Gyaaaaaah, he's covered in blooood!!
7: It just splashed off my victims, there's no need to get scared, kid.
8: I'm gonna eat ya!
9: Hiieeee
10: Hey!
11: Get your hands off my partner, punk!
12: Nnnn?

7)
1: Whose head do you think you're grabbing now?
2: Huh?
3: Yours.
4: You've really grown your hair out.
5: Hey hey hey...you'd better not fuck around too much with me, Toriko.
6: You're the one fucking around here, going all wild in the prison!
7: I came all the way here just to get you, so be nice!
8: I don't think so. But while we're at it,
9: msh
10: how about you help me relieve a little stress, Toriko?
11: C'mon...let's fight.
12-13: msh
14: ...huh?
15: Eh...
16: Hold on...
17: I'm so jealous...
18: You're close enough to fight...<3

8)
1: Tranquilizing pheromones
2: Now, let's dine <3
3: ...OK.
4: Huh?
5: Awww, why doesn't it ever work on you, Zebra-chan <3
6: Why doesn't what work?
7: My pheromones!
8: What's that? Is it edible?
9: Hey, Zebra, we're gonna celebrate your discharge!
10: C'mon, hurry up and get over here!
11(2b): Hm? Alright. We'll fight later then!
12: Yeah right!

9)
1: Got it? Zebra-chan...you must capture 500 wanted criminals and discover 100
new types of food!
2: Those are the conditions for your discharge! They're the orders of the
President, too, so the inspectors won't be satisfied either unless you agree.
3: By the way, Toriko.
4: Hm?
5: Listen to me, Zebra-chan!!
6: What is that "mellow cola" stuff,
7: mch
8: anyway?
9: Dad said it's the most delicious cola in the world.
10: You like cola, right? Then it'll be worth giving it a sip.
11: drip
12: Hmph! Cola...? What do you think I am, some snot-nosed kid?
13: You're drooling all over the place, man.
14: gulp...
15: All...all that food I prepared...disappeared in an instant...
16: He's got an "appetite" that isn't even inferior to Toriko-san's...so this
is Zebra-san...

10)
1: But is "that" really enough of a sin to earn him the death penalty...?
2: I don't understand...
3: Hey, kid.
4: Wahee!
5: The food I ate just now...
6: is it true that you made it?
7(2b): Ah...y...yes...
8: I know it may have seemed insolent of me, but I took the liberty of
preparing it all...
9: W...
10: was it worthy...
11: of your mouth...?
12: Oh yeah, Komatsu!
13: You should make some food for Zebra's discharge celebration, too.
14: Eh? Me?
15: In the prison?!
16(2b): A...alright...he IS one of your precious friends.
17: I'll serve him to the best of my ability!
18: What kind of food does Zebra-san like?
19: Ahh, he'll eat anything, don't worry about it.
20: Ehh? Please tell me! I have to think up a menu!

11)
1: He likes meat (said Toriko)
2: But I'll have to think of a healthy balance.
3: Hmm...maybe I should make something with a thicker taste.
4(2b): He might be happier with rare tastes that he can't get in the
prison...Zebra-san...
5: I just hope he's able to enjoy it...
6: Kid.
7: Y-yes!!
8: Don't be gettin' COCKY!
9: Ehh?!
10: Ah...no...yes...
11: Eh...
12: You know, I
13(continues to the bottom right): hate COCKY bastards more than anything else!
14: Just looking at them makes me wanna gnash 'em to pieces!
15: Every last one of 'em!
16(2b): I...see...umm...I'm...
17(2b): s...orry...I guess...for being cocky...
18: So you WERE gettin' cocky, after all!
19(3b): Ehh?! No...I wasn't...not one bit...

12)
1: Warden, I have news.
2: What's wrong, Oban?
3: The "monster in the woods"
4: has appeared...!!
5: Oh...
6: That's a problem...
7: M...monster in the woods...I think...he mentioned that at the entrance...
8: Wh...what is it...?
9: It's a turtle...
10: that awakens once a year in the "monster season!"
11: A...turtle...?
12: M...monster season...?!

13)
1(2b): The area around the "Death Season Forest" is a land with a very strange
climate. Instead of the usual "four seasons" of spring, summer, autumn, and
winter, it has four "death seasons" of monster, magma, fog, and freeze.
2: It's one of the harshest climates in both the human and gourmet world.
3: Monster...magma...
4: Fog...freeze?
5: Death season...?
5: First, from Sept. ~ Nov., there is the "Fog Season" -- where thick fog
blocks everything past one meter of vision.
6: This fog is also poison gas, where one inhalation will make it difficult for
you to breath, a second will do damage to your consciousness, and a third will
stop your heart and also make you contract a deadly poison.
7: From June ~ Aug. is the "Magma Season," where the surface erupts with lava.
8: The temperature of the surface exceeds 70 C, and just the air temperature
alone is capable of burning human skin.
(*the bubble in the center is each month with numbers, and the kanji clockwise
are 'fog,' 'freeze,' 'monster,' and 'lava.')
9: From Dec. ~ Feb. is the "Freeze Season," where -200 C blizzards freeze
everything.
10: Icy winds blow up thorned grass from the forest for three months, never
stopping.
11: Then we have the season we are in now, from March to May, the "monster
season"-- where hundreds of violent beasts wake up.
12: The beasts' average Capture Level is 60, and among them is the one we call
the "monster of the forest," also known as the Magma Tortoise.
13: I feel it'd be best if we waited until the end of the season for Zebra to
be discharged...
14: That bastard's...
15: gettin' cocky, isn't he...

14)
1: goahhh
2: Ahhhh
3: gyaaah
4: guohhh
5(2b): Waaaah! Look at all those ferocious beasts!
6: This is what the "Death Season Forest" looks like in this season.
7: We can't go outside unprepared either.
8: B...but Zebra-san already went out!!
9: You sure he's going to be alright in such a dangerous season?!
10: Dangerous?
11: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you something, Komatsu.
12: Eh?
13: The crimes Zebra committed...
14: Ahh...

15)
1: Guohhhh
2: Gyaa
3: "MONSTER OF THE FOREST"
*Yougan Oogame
AKA: Magma Tortoise
Capture Level 70
* line: *by Abe Yuutarou-kun from Yamagata Prefecture!!
4: I see. This guy...
5: really is getting cocky...
6: One of the Four Heavenly Emperors, Zebra!
7: A man who possesses sound so advanced he can hear a coin fall from tens of
kilometers away!
8: He can freely manipulate "sound" and the vibrations of such, giving him the
power to destroy anything and everything...
9: So what destroyed the execution grounds...was Zebra-san's "voice"...

16)
1: He is the greatest of the Four Emperors
2: due to his power and destructive capability.
3: The problem is his appetite
4: and tendency to fight.
5: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
6: Waaaaaahh

17)
1: When he...
2: finds a food he wants or someone who pisses him off...
3: he will devour them until the "seed" is "annihilated"...
4: ...eh
5: A...annihilate...?
6: Zebra has sent 26 species of creatures to extinction up to now...
7: Those are the grave sins he committed.
8: Even now, Zebra is marked as a first-class dangerous creature.
9: Out of all the monsters outside right now
10: the most dangerous one is him, without a doubt.
11: Shugohhhhhh
12: gon
13: goh
14: ohhhh
15: gohh
16: Repeat the echo within
17: amplify it...
18: Now, fall down...
19: THUNDERBOLT OF SOUND!

18)
1: THUNDER NOISE!!!
2: Voice Missile!!!!

19)
1: H...hieeee!
2: What destructive power!
3: He really has gotten stronger!
4(2b): Tch! Figures that took all my energy.
5: Now I've lost my voice.
6: Zebra!
7: Toriko...once I eat these guys...
8: I'd like to moisten my throat...
9: Wanna go?!
10: Drink some cola?!
11: Menu9
"Mellow cola"
side: Their prey is the ultimate cola!!

Next time, a new chapter begins! What is the secret of the gourmet pyramid...?!
