NEWS (ニュース Nyūsu)[1] is the codename of one of the infamous Gourmet Nobility. As his name suggests, he is in charge of overseeing Food King NEWS.
Appearance[]

NEWS's face color-scheme.
NEWS is a rotund and very muscular Nitro who stands above his peers and has a necklace that appears to be made out of bones, as well as pointy hair which ends in a curve. He has small eyes and a few wrinkles on his forehead. He wears a simple skirt that seems to be made from bones or grass.
Personality[]
Being part of the Gourmet Nobles, his only concern is acquiring Acacia's Full Course and doing whatever it takes to further the Nobles' goals. As one of the Blue Nitro, NEWS is completely loyal to the will of the Gourmet Cells, having remained true to the Nobles' goals since ancient times all for the sake of reviving the Neo and preparing the Earth for its eventual consumption.
Powers and Abilities[]
Being a Blue Nitro, NEWS is an individual of incredible strength and skill. Being one of the Gourmet Nobles, he is a very knowledgeable being, having access to all the valuable information known to the Blue Nitros. He is also capable of speaking the human language. He also seems to be a skilled cook, having been seen with his fellow Nobles preparing the ingredients from Acacia's Full Course Menu.
Equipment[]
Like the other Gourmet Nobility, NEWS possess a collection of Life Orbs and a golden cooking implement.[2]

History[]
AIR Arc[]
After Joie reaches the mysterious Dining Planet, he is able to meet with the powerful Gourmet Nobility, who sit around a meeting table placed on an immensely tall pillar. Joie informs them about the completion of his Ark, which is to be used on the day of the Gourmet Solar Eclipse. He requests that NEO be allowed to capture AIR, and the Nobles approve his request.[6]
PAIR Arc[]
While the Gourmet Nobles discuss the recent events surrounding AIR and the Four Heavenly Kings' presence in Area 7, PAIR suddenly arrives much to the surprise of the other nobles, with NEWS immediately calling out PAIR's name and recalling that PAIR met Acacia in Area 7. NEWS asks PAIR how he thinks Toriko and the others will capture Bambina's PAIR, and the Nitro recalls that he had previously met Toriko and Komatsu back in Vegetable Sky and recognized that they were a good team, but despite this he believes that they would be no match for the "Monkey King".[7]
ANOTHER Arc[]
At the Farthest Kitchen, NEWS helps AIR and GOD in the revival of Neo, Acacia's Appetite Demon, and complains about the energy drain and about Joie's absence and preoccupation with Life Orbs. Neo separates a piece of itself and launches it at the distracted NEWS, whose torso is completely consumed. However, two of his Life Orbs are used to revive it.[8] After Neo consumes the Nitro AIR, ATOM steps forward and tells NEWS to recover his stamina, and NEWS cautions ATOM about Neo. Neo splits off more parts of itself, sends them to the other areas, and then flees into the Back Channel. Before the Nitros can give chase, Jiro arrives and has questions for them. NEWS worries that Acacia will devour all of the planet's creatures before the Solar Eclipse. Jiro offers to kill Acacia for them, but the Nitros refuse to allow Jiro to interfere with their plan to kill Acacia and seal Neo. Jiro then releases the Knocking that held back his true power.[9]
After EARTH and ANOTHER fail to behead Jiro, NEWS steps forward and hits him with Mantle Shot, which he redirects with Damage Knocking. The Gourmet Nobility begin questioning how Jiro could be so powerful; NEWS expresses disbelief that a child could feed on Red Nitro.[10] The Nitros decide to seal Jiro and pull out a variety of Golden Cookware. After Jiro defeats GOD, ANOTHER, and EARTH, NEWS tries to drill into his back with Star Corer, but he stops time and then paralyzes NEWS with Eternal Knocking, turning him white and shattering his Life Orbs.[11]
