Hassaku Survival II

Synopsis
Toriko and Sorawo return to Otherside to search for Satsuki. The times before, Toriko scoured the north and west sides, so this time they'll head to an old building on the southwest side. This is in order to see if she had taken refuge there. On their way to the building, they encounter an armed middle-aged man. He warns and saves them from an invisible barrier that evaporates anything that makes contact with it. Though the ladies are thankful to the middle-aged man, in a state of panic mistakes Toriko for someone named Michiro. Toriko, however, snaps him out of his trance. The middle-aged man introduces himself as Abarato and he's been searching for his wife in Otherworld for thirty-eight days.

Abarato apparently lost his wife when he left her for a brief period of time in their small apartment. After consulting many people, a psychic informs him that his wife has been "Spirited Away". This leads Abarato to research much folklore about disappearances involving being Spirited Away and through it found Otherside. When asked by Abarato about the reason the two ladies are there, Toriko discloses that looking for their friend Satsuki. Hearing this Abarato becomes emotional and Toriko sympathizes, which astonishes Sorawo. With their new acquaintance, they're offered to be lead to their destination by a safe route, to which they accept.
