Capture level isn't just Battle Strength, it's also location and rarity. A level 1 food could just take four dudes to harvest, IGO soldiers or not.

Yeah that fish that was behind the giant waterfall only had a high level because of its location. Its level would be under 1 normally.

Depending on how this flashback goes it might imply that he never found a taste outside of Frohze's to be satisfying. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned that Frohze was the one to prepare Acacia's full course so naturally Midora would associate that meal with his memories of her.

My original theory was that Midora always ate everything, including sand and bark, simply because it was something to fill his unending stomach, not because of taste - ergo - he was incapable of tasting

That said, that very well may be a new theory to consider.

There have been multiple giant animals with high capture levels which taste bad. Capture level measures how difficult it is to capture something. They've been pretty clear about that from very early on.

So "Pair" comes to meet Acacia? So part of Acacia's full course (Pair) is actually a pair of "Blue Nitro"?

Or at least something to this effect.


Also, I'd flip my poo poo too if I saw someone throw food away in a food crisis.

As always, this manga :allears:

It's pretty funny that this is a world where billions are starving to death, but every time we see anybody eating it's a fifteen-course meal made with animals the size of houses. It seems like a couple Regal Mammoths could basically feed half the planet if everyone just adapted to eating normal sized portions.
Who in their right mind would give up a jewel meat factory to feed the masses?
Apparently all of humanity can eat inordinate amounts of food, since all the portions of 4 beast were full meal sized.

I'm assuming that Joa is just someone possessing Frohze's corpse or something, if so Midora is going to absolutely wreck their poo poo. Midora might be a villain but I foresee some absolutely righteous anger at someone desecrating the body of his adoptive mother like that.

Komatsu's cooking will satisfy Midora's insatiable appetite, redeeming him, afterwards he will join Komatsu's muscle harem and together they will stop the ever loving poo poo out of NEO.

I really do want Midora to end up being a good guy, or that whatever made him turn into a villian was Joa's doing or some horrorific misunderstanding.

Is Ichyruu mentions that cure water is connected to one of the ingredients in Acacia's full course. I'm guessing it's CENTER the revival ingredient that Chiyo was looking for. If Komatasu can cook CENTER maybe that will restore Frohze completely.

At first I interpreted it as Derous being an offspring of one of the eight kings... the translation is sort of ambiguous.

I'm beginning to think that alot of these questions aren't going to be answered for a long time, as we've just been doing nothing but setting up story arcs for the past year now. Can we get back to Coco please :ohdear:
