For this reason, she's annoyed that Kozakura makes her buy her yakinku as an apology for leaving her in the Otherside.



** If the manga side stories are to be believed, Kozakura subverts this at first, claiming that Toriko is very annoying and the worst thing is she doesn't realise it. [[spoiler: Even going as far as to think that this the reason why Toriko will always be alone. Although she doesn't say this to her face, thinking that it would be too cruel to say.]] As seen in File 9, she does seems to warm up to and care about Toriko though.

And when that failed to convince Sorawo, she ran off to the Otherside by herself, desperate to find Satsuki.
