SIGN    True Cooking Master Boy
[01:48] Mao
    I've had enough!
[01:54] Shirou
    Mao...
[01:56] Mao
    Why does such a skilled chef
    have to die in a cooking contest?
[02:05] Mao
    There's no telling how many thousands
     of people he could make happy.
[02:10] Mao
    The same goes for the rest of them!
[02:14] Mao
    They risked their lives
    to hone their skills.
[02:16] Mao
    Why would you stain that with blood?
[02:30] Mao
    Control people with cooking? Yeah, right!
[02:32] Mao
    You can't be serious! This is ridiculous!
[02:35] Both
    Mao!
[02:37] Mao
    It doesn't make any sense!
[02:41] Mao
    You're out of your minds.
[02:45] Mao
    Lei En, Shao An, and Zhu Qi...
[02:51] Mao
    They were all destroyed by cooking!
[02:53] Mao
    Idiots!
[02:55] Mao
    I wish the whole Cooking
    Underworld would disappear!
[03:09] Mao
    Cooking is supposed to make people happy.
[03:17] Ludaci
    Listen, boy.
[03:18] Ludaci
    Those born in Mount Liang
    and those who fled here
[03:21] Ludaci
    have abandoned all hope of achieving
    any decent kind of happiness!
[03:25] Ludaci
    Lord Kai You taught us the
    sense of accomplishment
[03:28] Ludaci
    that comes from honing our skills
    and risking our lives!
[03:32] Ludaci
    Once we've climbed to the top of
     Mount Liang and been turned loose,
[03:35] Ludaci
    all people are our servants!
[03:37] Ludaci
    After all this—
[03:40] Ludaci
    Lord Ya Kan...
[03:42] Yakan
    Liu Maoxing, this is Lu Daci
    the Flowery Monk.
[03:46] Yakan
    When it comes to cold dishes,
    he is unrivaled.
[03:50] Yakan
    He beat a villainous man to death
    for imposing exorbitant taxes
[03:55] Yakan
    and fled here to Mount Liang.
[03:59] Yakan
    Are you saying even a criminal
    like him can make people happy?
[04:03] Mao
    He can atone for his crimes!
[04:06] Mao
    After that, by exercising
    his great skill free of charge,
[04:08] Mao
    he could make an entire town happy!
[04:11] Mao
    No one would call him a criminal!
[04:18] Wuyong
    I am Wu Yong the Knowledgeable Star,
    master of Chinese tea.
[04:22] Wuyong
    I accidentally entered a government-owned
    forest and stole some tea leaves.
[04:28] Wuyong
    Do I have the right
    to make people happy, as well?
[04:30] Mao
    You can brew your tea of happiness
[04:33] Mao
    that will make tens of thousands
    sigh contentedly every day!
[04:36] Mao
    Such a trivial crime would be
    forgiven immediately!
[04:40] Kirin D
    Hey!
[04:41] Kirin E
    You're not making any sense!
[04:44] Kirin F
    Yeah, you're just speaking
    irresponsible nonsense!
[04:46] Mao
    It comes down to how you feel.
[04:48] Mao
    Your era could start right now!
[04:55] Wuyong
    Our era?
[04:57] Yakan
    Did you notice?
[05:00] Yakan
    With his leg in shackles,
    he shed his own blood
[05:04] Yakan
    as he walked around the food storage area
    to gather a specific number of ingredients.
[05:10] All
    What number?
[05:13] Yakan
    108, the number of bandits
    who founded our organization.
[05:19] Yakan
    In other words, it symbolizes us.
[05:22] Yakan
    He regards us as heroes of the land.
[05:26] Yakan
    Isn't that right, Liu Maoxing?
[05:35] Kirin C
    Us?
[05:37] Ludaci
    Heroes?
[05:44] Kaiyou
    He's dangerous. That boy is too dangerous.
[05:49] Kaiyou
    I have spent years building
    up this organization,
[05:53] Kaiyou
    and he's about to destroy
    it all in an instant.
[06:04] Kaiyou
    These fools don't return my love.
[06:11] Yakan
    Your words don't make sense.
[06:16] Yakan
    But for some reason, they move my heart.
[06:21] Yakan
    I remember the day I battled your
    mother, Bei, here at Mount Liang.
[06:29] Yakan
    She fought fiercely. She was strong.
[06:33] Yakan
    When a winner couldn't be determined
    and our contest was declared a tie,
[06:37] Yakan
    she said...
[06:39] (Flashback) Bei
    What a waste. It's such a waste, Ya Kan.
[06:43] (Flashback) Bei
    A man of your skill
    could save so many people.
[06:49] (Flashback) Bei
    You'll realize soon enough that cooking isn't
     meant to control and manipulate.
[06:54] (Flashback) Bei
    Cooking is meant to liberate people
    and make them happy!
[06:59] Yakan
    As one born in the Underworld,
    raised in the Underworld,
[07:02] Yakan
    who blindly trained in the Underworld,
    I didn't understand her words.
[07:07] (Flashback) Yakan
    Throw her out!
[07:08] (Flashback) Bei
    Ya Kan!
[07:12] Yakan
    But after battling you, I feel like
    I finally have a vague understanding
[07:18] Yakan
    of what it is that people want from cooking.
[07:25] Kirin E
    Can our cooking really...
[07:29] Wuyong
    ...make people happy?
[07:49] Mob A
    Lord Kai You, the legendary utensil...
[07:51] Mob B
    This one, too!
SIGN    Daxian Temple, Guangzhou
SIGN    Ever-Soul Knife
SIGN    Longzhen Restaurant, Shanghai
SIGN    Coiled Dragon Pot
[08:11] Fei
    What's this?
[08:15] Leien
    Xie Lu, what's that light?
[08:18] Xielu
    What light—
[08:21] Xielu
    Whoa, seriously?
[08:45] Kaiyou
    The eight utensils are crying out.
[08:47] Kaiyou
    Does this mean his words have
    moved the hearts of my Kirin Chefs,
[08:51] Kaiyou
    baring their fangs against this land?
[08:54] Kaiyou
    What a gift from the heavens.
[08:57] Kaiyou
    Truly, I am fortunate.
[09:13] Kirin F
    What's causing these tremors?
[09:35] Shirou
    What happened?!
[09:38] Yakan
    The Mount Liang reservoir
    has been destroyed!
[09:49] Kirin
    It's raining and thundering
    like crazy outside!
[09:52] Ludaci
    What?
[09:53] Wuyong
    At this rate, the water level
    will rapidly rise.
[09:57] Yakan
    Kai You has finally abandoned Mount Liang.
[10:08] Like
    Get in, quickly!
[10:11] Like
    Maoxing, you get in, too!
[10:13] Meili
    Mao, hang in there!
[10:22] Shirou
    Mao, you won't make it out with
     that ball and chain in this water!
[10:31] Mao
    Ya Kan!
[10:33] Meili
    He's badly hurt.
[10:38] Yakan
    We'll see how far my heat
    gets me in this water.
[10:43] Mao
    D-Don't do it, Ya Kan.
[10:45] Yakan
    Go, Liu Maoxing.
[10:49] Yakan
    To Beijing.
[10:51] Yakan
    Kai You will take the Holy Copperware
    and map he stole from you
[10:55] Yakan
    as well as the utensil
    from Mount Tai to Beijing.
[10:59] Yakan
    And there's one more Five Tiger Star.
[11:03] Mao
    Another one?
[11:05] Yakan
    Be careful. Not even I fully understood him.
[11:14] Mao
    Ya Kan, enough. That's enough!
[11:17] Yakan
    Don't underestimate a Five Tiger Star!
[11:23] Shirou
    Mao!
[11:24] Meili
    Mao!
[11:25] Like
    Maoxing!
[11:35] Kaiyou
    Put the boat out.
[11:37] Servant
    Lord Ya Kan and the others
    are still inside. Are you sure?
[11:40] Kaiyou
    There's nothing to be done.
[11:43] Kaiyou
    It would seem that my love wasn't enough.
[11:47] Kaiyou
    No matter. I can always
    train more Kirin Chefs.
[11:56] Kaiyou
    I shall be the one to create a new era.
[12:04] Mao
    Ya Kan!
[12:08] Yakan
    Get out of here, Liu Maoxing.
[12:12] Yakan
    Another wave is coming.
[12:14] Mao
    You're shackled to an iron ball, too.
[12:17] Like
    Lord Ya Kan!
[12:21] Like
    Lord Ya Kan!
[12:26] Like
    Lord Ya Kan!
[12:30] Yakan
    I'm out of heat.
[12:36] Like
    Lord Ya Kan, Jade Arrowhead
    Li Ke will follow you anywhere.
[12:43] Yakan
    I'm sorry for everything, Li Ke.
[12:53] Ludaci
    Lord Ya Kan!
[12:55] Wuyong
    Lord Ya Kan!
[12:58] Yakan
    I see it. I can see it, Liu Maoxing.
[13:03] Yakan
    I can see the new culinary
    world you'll create.
[13:11] Mao
    Ya Kan!
[13:55] Meili
    That boat...
[13:56] Mao
    Huh?
[14:05] Mao
    Ya Kan—
[14:20] Mao
    Kai You!
[14:22] Mao
    I'll never forgive him!
[14:25] Shirou
    Mao, what's gotten into you?
[14:27] Meili
    Mao, stop!
[14:30] Mao
    Damn it!
[14:44] Ludaci
    Kid, we'll help.
[14:50] Wuyong
    You're the boy who led us into a new era.
[14:54] Wuyong
    Go on.
[14:56] Ludaci
    Come over here and grab onto my arm.
[14:59] Mao
    Okay.
[15:03] Wuyong
    Come on, everyone.
    Let's get this boat moving.
[15:07] All
    Yeah!
[15:13] Ludaci
    This might be a little rough!
[15:15] Mao
    I'm counting on it.
[15:24] Ludaci
    All right!
[15:26] All
    Go on, kid!
[15:28] All
    Don't let Kai You escape!
[15:31] Mao
    Thank you!
[15:33] Mao
    Hold on, Kai You!
[15:37] Kaiyou
    What an unbelievably lucky boy.
    You're still alive?
[15:41] Mao
    Ya Kan sacrificed his own life to save me.
[15:45] Mao
    You won't get away from me, Kai You!
[15:51] Kaiyou
    Such a passionate boy.
[15:55] Kaiyou
    But I'm sure Ya Kan will regret
    spending the last of his heat
[16:01] Kaiyou
    to save your little flame.
[16:04] Mao
    What was that?
[16:06] Kaiyou
    Frustrated, are you?
[16:08] Kaiyou
    Then curse your own puny hands for
    being too small to grasp anything.
[16:14] Mao
    You blew up Mount Liang's reservoir.
[16:17] Mao
    Because of you, Ya Kan and the others—
[16:20] Kaiyou
    You can continue blaming others
    for the rest of your life.
[16:23] Kaiyou
    Those overflowing with sadness will keep
    appearing before your inexperienced self,
[16:27] Kaiyou
    only to disappear.
[16:30] Mao
    Don't be ridiculous!
[16:42] Mao
    Kai You!
[17:14] Meili
    Mao!
[17:27] Kaiyou
    Son of Bei, both you and
    your mother are an eyesore.
[18:05] Mao
    I need to go to Beijing.
[18:09] Mao
    I have to cook my final dish.
SIGN    Yang Spring Restaurant
[18:18] Luo
    The emperor himself is sponsoring
    a major cooking tournament.
[18:23] Luo
    Open to men and women of all ages,
    regardless of their qualifications.
[18:28] Luo
    Everyone with skill is encouraged
    to gather in the imperial capital of Beijing.
[18:38] Luo
    I can hear it.
[18:39] Luo
    The earth is trembling as all
    the stars, both good and bad,
[18:42] Luo
    gather in the imperial capital.
[18:46] Luo
    Not only that, but the emperor
    will award the winner
[18:50] Luo
    with the greatest of treasures,
    the Jade Dragon Pot.
[18:57] Luo
    Finally, the battle for the legendary
    utensils is approaching its end.
[19:03] Luo
    Mao, your true worth will be tested.
[19:23] Chef 1
    From Shaolin Hall in Henan Province,
    Zheng Bao would like to enter.
[19:25] Chef 2
    From Zhejiang Province,
    I am Super Chef Xi Kan.
[19:28] All
    Look at those two.
[19:30] All
    They're the Super Chefs from Hunan Province.
[19:31] All
    Brothers Ka La and Lu.
[19:34] All
    They call them the Dumpling Brothers!
[19:39] Li
    Look at all these people.
[19:42] Louwen
    Unconditional entry certainly
    encourages participation.
[19:45] Louwen
    It's the first imperial cooking tournament.
[19:49] Louwen
    I'm excited to see what kind of chefs
    will gather from across the country.
[19:57] All
    Wh-What is that?
[19:58] All
    Who are they?
[20:00] All
    Who are those dangerous men?
[20:06] Kaiyou
    From Mount Liang in Shandong Province,
    Five Tiger Star Kai You.
[20:11] Yanxian
    Likewise, Five Tiger Star Yan Xian!
[20:14] Yanxian
    We'd like to enter the Forbidden
    City cooking tournament!
[20:16] Li
    What? Mount Liang? Five Tiger Stars?
[20:20] Louwen
    I can't believe the Cooking Underworld
    is openly entering the tournament.
[20:24] All
    The Cooking Underworld?
[20:25] All
    They exist?
[20:26] All
    I heard they kill to achieve their goals...
[20:27] All
    Terrifying!
[20:28] Yanxian
    Hey, Kai You. Sounds like
    we have a bad reputation.
[20:33] Kaiyou
    They shouldn't say such disreputable things.
[20:35] Kaiyou
    Today is the day my love
    will envelop the land.
[20:40] Kaiyou
    We already have two legendary utensils.
[20:42] Kaiyou
    We shall make full use of them
    at this tournament and win.
[20:48] Louwen
    Li, if they take the legendary
    Jade Dragon Pot...
[20:54] Li
    The Chinese culinary world
    will be thrown into chaos.
[20:59] Li
    I don't believe it.
[21:02] Li
    Not a single chef capable of defeating
    the Five Tiger Stars has shown up yet.
[21:11] All
    This man will defend
    the Chinese culinary world!
[21:18] All
    Long live Lord Shengyu!
[21:33] Fei
    I must hurry to the capital
    with this legendary utensil.
[21:38] Shirou
    Are we there yet?
[21:41] Meili
    You were so excited at first.
[21:43] Shirou
    Shut up, Sis. I'm out of fuel.
[21:46] Mao
    Okay, Shirou. Let's eat here.
[21:49] Shirou
    That's what I wanted to hear.
[21:50] Shirou
    I'll gather some firewood.
[21:52] Meili
    I'll get some water.
[21:55] Shirou
    What's on the menu today?
[21:57] Mao
    Well...
[21:59] Xielu
    Hey!
[22:03] Xielu
    Not even a Super Chef can cook
    a decent meal without ingredients.
[22:07] Leien
    Mao, sorry for the wait.
[22:09] Leien
    This is the sixth legendary utensil.
[22:15] Mao
    Xie Lu, Lei En!
[22:20] Xielu
    Why do you look so shocked?
[22:23] Xielu
    Just so you know, we're not ghosts.
[22:25] Leien
    Take a look at this.
[22:31] Shirou
    It's amazing!
[22:32] Meili
    All the vegetables and meat are still fresh!
[22:41] Shirou
    It's good! So is this.
[22:44] Xielu
    You've improved your skills again.
[22:45] Shirou
    Mao, this stuff is awesome.
[22:46] Meili
    Shirou, you're eating too much.
[22:53] Mao
    I want to deliver this little piece
    of happiness to more people.
[23:01] Mao
    That's our greatest joy as chefs.
[23:07] Mao
    Isn't that right, Mom?
[23:13] Keling
    Mao, food's ready!
[23:15] Bei
    Mao, come on!
[23:18] Mao
    Okay!
[23:19] Leien
    What is it?
[23:20] Xielu
    Are you talking in your sleep?
[23:21] Shirou
    Mao, you're so funny.
[23:23] Meili
    Oh, Mao. Do you want another helping?
[23:26] Mao
    Yeah. More, please!
