"Bizarre Cooking" Tengu Buranchi is a genius chef and somewhat of a problem child, who, in the chef world, is a delinquent comparable to Zebra of the Bishokuya world. He has appeared only once in a Cooking Festival, but won it by a good margin. He currently holds the Number 3 spot in the IGO Chef Ranking, making him the third greatest chef in the world. He is from the "Bewitching Food World" located in the Gourmet World and is the head chef and owner of the Bizarre Dining Hall "Tengu Castle".

Appearance

He is a tall red-skinned man with long white hair that he keeps combed back but also tied into a wild bushy ponytail. He has a somewhat sinister-looking appearance, such as fierce-looking eyes and sharp pointy teeth. His most notable trait is his very long nose which resembles that of a Japanese Tengu's, hence his name. He wears a black shirt and white pants along with a white chef's jacket. For footwear, he uses one-tooth tengu-geta. He appears to have a large mole or piercing embedded in his forehead and strangely enough, two small rectangular covers on his neck which conceal small battery slots, indicating that he may have some sort of cybernetic implants.

Personality

He appears to have quite the problematic personality and a careless approach to life. Despite his uncouth behavior, he takes his job as a chef seriously, and is usually seen as weird by others. He is shown to have a love for food as when he dropped down to the Four Heavenly Kings' table without moving the plates or bottles that had food or wine in them, and can also hear the "Voice of Ingredients" showing just how much he values and respects food. Buranchi seems to have formed a friendly rivalry with Komatsu after having been declined as a partner by Zebra and hearing about him from the Four Heavenly Kings.

Powers and Abilities

Not much is known about his abilities, but since the Bewitching Food World is located in the Gourmet World, he has to be quite powerful.

Buranchi, like Zebra, has a powerful voice, to be able to break the spotlights in the Cooking Stadium from a far distance. Buranchi has demonstrated to have incredible speed and jumping powers, as shown when he quickly jumped from rooftops and catched up to the other contestants like Setsuno, despite starting late. Buranchi also has shown to stick to vertical surfaces without falling, as shown when he stood erect on the side of a building.

Coco commented that he has very strong electromagnetic waves and that a life force like his can't be seen too often.

Chef Skill

Being ranked number 3 on the rankings, he is a chef of tremendous skill likely equal to that of Chef King Zaus or Setsuno, which is made all the more impressive considering the vast age difference between him and the other top 4 chefs. His ability to hear the "Voice of Ingredients" also appears to be as good as Komatsu's which is even greater than Setsuno's and this gives him a great advantage in cooking, naturally knowing what preparations are best for the ingredients. Apparently being from the Gourmet World, he likely has tremendous skill and can prepare even ingredients from there.

Intimidation

Buranchi has a very strong Intimidation aura, apparently capable of terrifying many of the chefs participating in the Cooking Festival.

Electricity Manipulation

Buranchi has shown to have the ability to generate and control electricity. He can control a large amount of electricity and make it strike down on an opponent similar to Zebra's Thunder Noise. It is also strong enough to scorch and stun one of the Bishokukai's Beasts with only 1 hit. So far it is seen that his hand can generate electricity, whether or not he can generate electricity using other methods is currently unknown.

Techniques

• Heiretsu Eleki Punch (並列エレキパンチ Parallel Electric Punch): Buranchi throws a punch that sends an electric charge through multiple opponents that destroys every cell in their bodies.

History

Past

Buranchi appeared once in a Cooking Festival a few years ago, and at that time he was far-and-away champion of it. Since then he hasn't participated in Cooking Festivals for what seems to be either carelessness or disinterest. It is revealed by Munageh that Buranchi comes from the “Bewitching Food World” which Sunny states is located in the Gourmet World.

Cooking Festival

After drinking too much Kappa Fin Sake the night before the 50th Cooking Festival, Buranchi wakes up on the top 55th floor in a special suite room in Cooking Stadium's 10-star Hotel, Hotel Cooking. He complains that he missed the beginning of the Fest and even bothered to sleep at the hotel in order to be ready on time, however he brushes off the minor setbacks and simply claims that all he needs to do is get ahead of everyone starting as of now.

Buranchi landing on the table

Buranchi later leaves his suite to participate in the Cooking Festival as he stands vertically on the windows of Hotel Cooking. Getting annoyed from all the talking, he releases a powerful shout telling everyone in the stadium to shut up, Zebra then uses his Sound Bullet to shut him up which surprised Buranchi, but he go Zebra's Sound Bullet dispersed pretty quickly and went down to the Four Heavenly Kings' table to see Zebra face-to-face. After looking Zebra over he mentions that he's everything the Dharma Hermit described, he then mentions how Zebra is well known for not wanting to form a Combo“even if it killed him”. Zebra then tells him that Komatsu will become his Combo partner to the disapproval of the other Kings. After learning that Komatsu is actually Toriko's combo, he gets interested and after hearing from all the Heavenly Kings that he doesn't have a chance, he decides to go and see Komatsu by himself.

Buranchi catching up

With his incredible speed, he is able to catch up to Komatsu, who is last and just got out of the water. Learning that the the small person before him is Komatsu, he quickly becomes disappointed with his appearance, saying that he though he would look more brutish, but instead looked like a kid. Thinking Komatsu is not even a challenge, he continued the event and commented that most of the remaining ingredients are not usable, but got interrupted by Komatsu, who said that all ingredients are usable. In that moment, the ingredients started glimmering and Buranchi realized that Komatsu too can hear the voice of the ingredients and though he is kinda interesting. He agreed with Komatsu, that it would be such a waste to leave all those ingredients and decided to take and cook all of them. Fully packed with all the remaining ingredients, Komatsu and Buranchi start the second part of the Triathlon.

Buranchi's dirty play

During the second part of the triathlon he easily shoots past the other competitors while carrying Komatsu and all the ingredients, and even sending intimidation to them to clear his path. And after passing a rock cliff bridge, he pretends to slip his leg to break the bridge while some of the competitors are still on it. In that moment, Komatsu told him, that he must compete fair and square. Buranchi admit that he is right and that he kinda pretended that his leg slipped and says that next time, he will push them off the cliff fair and square.

At the third part of the triathlon, right before the finish line, he passed Setsuno, Zaus and Yuda, reaching the goal first in the Triathlon with Komatsu coming second as he'd been carrying him. Buranchi quickly provoked Setsuno and Zaus, calling them elderly problems and hindrances for dominating the industry for so long, and even calling Zaus a beard face. The crowd quickly supported him and Toriko commented that he isn't really afraid of anybody, if he picks a fight with Setsuno.

After passing the Triathlon Cooking, he also passed the 2nd Scale Death Cooking and 3rd Entire Island Cooking preliminaries to reach the Championship Tournament, where his first opponent was Livebearer. Later on as he was putting in some fresh batteries to compete in the finals, he notice something amiss in the area. Seeing that the Bishokukai came, Buranchi was angry and said he wanted to kill them for trying to ruin the fest. With his electric powers, he quickly took down a Bishokukai beast that was attacking the visitors and was prepared with the rest of the chefs to fight back against Bishokukai.

Trivia

• Despite being one of the most powerful chefs seen, he was not listed by Joejoe as one of the chefs that would be hard to capture. This may be due to the fact that his restaurant is located in the Gourmet World and not in the Human World.
