Toriko Gourmet 14 – Komatsu, Dies!?

Page 1
++ Serpent! Crisis! Protect the life!

Bad Guy
= Damn bastaaaaard!!

Komatsu
= Uwaa

Bad Guy
= There, food!!
= Food, Devil Serpent!!
= I’m gonna get through
= No matter what, to the “Sandy Beach of the Cave” (tn: I’ll use “Sandy Beach” for the translation, but “Sand Dunes of the Cave” somehow rings better with me… take your pick, scanslators)

Page 2
Bad Guy
= Uoa!?
= Guaaaaa

Komatsu
= Gyaaaa

Page 3
Coco
= Let’s go, Toriko!!
= ‘The hell, are you planning to carry that thing around?

= We’ll pass by that spot on the way back…

Toriko
= But if it’s eaten by other beasts in the meanwhile, wouldn’t that be a shock?

Coco
= It’s OK. It’s got my poison in it
= Never mind that – Komatsu-kun!!
= We’ve got to chase after him quickly!!

Toriko
= Don’t panic
= I made sure to at least hand him a secret weapon for when he’s in a pinch by himself

Page 4
Komatsu
= Umm…
= Umm…
= Umm…

Toriko
= Komatsu…
= If, by any chance, you encounter wild beasts when you’re alone, use this
= Specially made by me
= “Toriko Clocker”…!!

Page 5
Komatsu
= A clo… clocker, you say?
= You mean that… that thing you pop at a birthday and stuff?

Toriko
= Hey, hey, don’t make a fool out of it.
= If you pop this in a residential area, the firefighters and police will come rushing in two minutes
= I’ve played with the type and amount of gunpowder
= This produces an explosion that doesn’t even compare to a firecracker you pop at some average festival

Komatsu
= Uwa, that’s heavy!

Toriko
= Listen…
= Including humans, all animals fear “sound”…!
= Means “sound” is a primitive phenomenon that living things are instinctively frightened by…

= At the least, it’ll be more useful than some puny hunting gun they sell around

Komatsu
= Umm…
= Umm…
= Got it!
= So you pull this wire!

Komatsu\
= Ngigi…
= Ngigigigi
= …It’s

Clocker
= Pop

Pages 10, 11
Jirou
= Ui~
= Gulp
= So loud~ What was that noise?
= Right next to someone enjoying the puffer fish whale’s fin sake in a good mood

Page 12
Snakey
= Goga..
= Ka…!?

Jirou
= Devil Serpent, eh… Rather fleeing from the explosion just now, and not even disturbed…
= As expected from the legendary demon beast~ Ui~
= Hic (guy hiccupping)
= Hic

= Nn~~
= Oh my, oh my
= This child is…

= His heart stopped from the shock of the explosion…
= And his ear drums are ripped as well, this…

= I owe these kids a favor of sake from the train
= As a thanks, I’ll give you a present of a second life

Page 13
Bat
= Kya – (tn: that’s just a screeching noise it’s making; it’s not screaming like a little girl… :P)

Toriko
= That explosion from before…!!
= My custom-made “Toriko Clocker”
= You’ve popped one, huh, Komatsu!!

Coco
= Hey, hey, just how much gunpowder is there, Toriko

Toriko
= Maybe there was a bit too much…
Small font ++ U-m…
= I forgot to tell Komatsu to put on earplugs, too

Coco
= Let’s hurry!!

= Probability of my fortune-telling to be right is 97%...
= It’s a high probability, but…
= It’s not 100%...!!

= 3% is wrong..!!
= Komatsu-kun…!!

= Komatsu-kun!!

Toriko
= Komatsuu!!

Page 14
Toriko
= Ko…
= Komatsu……

Komatsu
= To… Toriko-san…
= Coco-san…

Page 15
Toriko
= Komatsu – !!

Komatsu
= Toriko-san!! Coco-saan!!
Small font ++ I was scared~
= Wait…

= Hang a second – Toriko-san!!

Toriko
= I’m so glad you’re alright

Komatsu
= NO NO NO, what is that clocker-!!

Toriko
= Hmm?

Komatsu
= It’s a regular “bomb”, that stuff – !!
= It’s a weapon, a weapon I tell you!!
= I was about to die!!

Toriko
= I see I see
= Must have been tough

Komatsu (both shouting bubbles belong to Komatsu, the poor soul)
= No… and speaking of which, I did die once!!
= I was saved by a big old man.

Toriko (both normal bubbles with actual text belong to Toriko)
= ‘The hell that happened, you’re alive.
= A big old man?

Coco
= Komatsu-kun’s “shadow of death” is gone…
= What’s the meaning of this…?

= Moreover, a Devil Serpent here too…
= It’s been “Knocked”!?
= Impossible…

Page 16
Coco
= Someone who knows the technique of Knocking a Devil Serpent
= One I can think of is…

= Gourmet expert who is familiar with the Knocking of all beasts
= Knocking Master “Jirou” - !!

= Uses an original Knocking gun that isn’t commercially sold
= Not only Knocking but extension and contraction of muscles…
= He freely manipulates even the shape of his body, and furthermore, he’s said to be able to even resuscitate a person who just died…

= He…
= Must have defeated the Devil Serpent and saved Komatsu-kun…
= Most likely on his way back from capturing the Puffer Fish Whale…

= The strong aura (tn: kanji written electromagnetic waves) I sensed from before I entered the cave was him (tn: kanji written Jirou)…
= Although it’s also hard to imagine that he’d lay a finger on the thieves outside…

Page 17
Toriko
= O-i Coco – Let’s get going –
= The “Sandy Beach of the Cave” is only just ahead now!

Coco
++ Oh well, that’s fine… In any case…
++ I’m glad my fortune-telling was wrong…
++ I’m glad Komatsu-kun is safe

Toriko
= At last…
= We’re here!

Coco
= This is…

Pages 18, 19
Someone
= “The Sandy Beach of the Cave” - !!

++ They’ve arrived!!!

Some notes:
- The usual credit stuff, please

- I've been leaving more and more translator's notes out because, well, mine are kind of anal if I put every TN I wanted to put. If you have any questions about any of my translations, I'm more than happy to answer them!

- Oh my, oh my, two more chapters until we're caught up... My wrists hurt from all the typing and alt-tabbing T____T
