Rebirth through Nutrition: The Incredible Journey of Toriko and Komatsu

One minute a man has an eight pack
when he comes out of the nutrient solution,
the next moment, he’s shrunk into the bone like a deflated ball.
Luckily, the man ate an apple in time.
That’s how his body cells were activated.
As Toriko ate more and more,
his shriveled muscles came back to life.
While Toriko was feasting,
the seed of rebirth buried in his broken arm sprouted.
Unbelievable. It takes a normal person two years to germinate.
Toriko takes two seconds. In no time at all.
Toriko had eaten all the food,
but it wasn’t enough. Without food,
Toriko’s body shrinks again.
The bearded man told the others to prepare food.
It would be better to bring the supermarket here.
And so it was. Toriko ate from day to night.
But no matter how much he ate,
he was still hungry. All of it was absorbed by the broken arm seed.
Toriko wanted to lie down and rest.
But then something unexpected happened.
He spat out a mouthful of old phlegm.
Then his body went into severe pain.
While everyone was shocked,
the bearded man said calmly,
this is a normal phenomenon.
In just one day, Toriko’s broken arm had already begun to grow.
The severe pain is just a side effect.
To ease Toriko’s pain, the bearded man has prepared honey for the pain.
Whether or not he’ll survive the pain,
it all depends on Toriko’s perseverance.
Toriko’s broken arm was recovering quickly.
But just then, The bearded man suddenly realized
that there wasn’t enough honey to go around.
In order to save Toriko, they started to catch pain relieving bees.
Toriko was already trembling with pain.
She was about to lose it. But they came back in time.
Meanwhile, Kamatsu was preparing century soup.
He had tried it a thousand times.
The ancient flavor was still not reproducible.
So he went to Grandma Shindai for advice.
What he didn’t know was it took Grandma 30 years to make Century Soup.
Komatsu was devastated. When grandma tasted Komatsu’s soup,
she suddenly frowned. She didn’t praise him too much.
Grandma Canda just told Komatsu
that her soup was just missing one last thing.
That was to listen to the ingredients with her heart.
To learn to communicate with the ingredients.
Komatsu was inspired, so he rushed back to the kitchen.
After Komatsu left, Granny spoke slowly.
What Komatsu had just accomplished in three days.
But it took her two years.
