Post? What post? Oh wow.
I had nothing to do with THAT.
Yeah, I've been turned around on Midora as a character. Still kind of annoyed by this whole arc, but I've said it before, at least the series still has heart.

So did Midora copy Frohze's God Cooking or did he only model his hair after it?

Is it just me, or does Coco look like Acacia? I just noticed it in one of the early pages, where it shows Ichiryuu with the young main characters. Actually thought it was a young Acacia at first and was wondering what the hell was going on before I noticed who the others were.

Man, Coco. We're never going to find out what happened to him; him falling in that hole was the last time we'll ever see him.

I was really hoping for a bit more fighting between Ichiryuu and Midora though.

To be fair, the fight is going to be super quick when your actions are dictated by two of the most hosed up super powered guys in all of history. Essentially, we have one guy who can gravitate anything towards himself and who can change the world to fit his needs. Then we have a guy who can eat anything in a vacuumous space simply by his hentai rape tongue having touched the area around him, oh and also he can copy cat just about anything.

You thought other manga characters ate a lot? Midora probably has pluto-size bowel movements at this point.

I've said it before and i'll say it again. I want a fluff chapter dedicated to the plumbing systems of this universe. Yes i realize the answer is probably "gourmet cells consume every bit of nutrients, even stuff normal humans can't use" therefore they don't have any. But still, i want poop jokes.

The art style isn't detailed enough that you can tell people apart using facial features only. That isn't normally a problem, since most characters have rather extreme distinguishing features.

Oh, it wasn't a criticism or speculation that it might be meaningful. I just noticed, dang, those two look alike (apart from one lacking facial hair). They even dress the same.

I figured it was more akin to character template reusage.

Young Midora looks a lot like Toriko
Acacia looks like Coco

It is kind of like how you read an Akira Toriyama manga and you say, "Hey, that looks an awful lot like Goku, but with different hair, or a facial scar".

I have a feeling that Acacia may have been planning to prepare more than just food for humanity. I might be reading too much into Frohze's statement but it seems that Acacia was able to foresee more than just the gourmet eclipse. If he were say, to travel the world spreading information and hope in just the right places. Let that simmer for a couple centuries. Leave behind his best assistants to make sure the stock stays strong. And even plan for when someone might add a little too much spice to the dish. I feel like Acacia was planning to ensure that people never have to worry about going hungry again by paving the path for humanity as a collective to be able to weather such catastrophes

I like my coffee with cream and lsd.

It means, Toriko needs to hurry and get his rear end up. So basically, Acacia had never taken Frozhe dying into account and then somehow got Midora to retrieve Cure Water every day in order to revive her. All that talk of someone with as much Food Luck as her just screams Komatsu so hard.

I just want to know what the gently caress Joa/Frozhe is already!

Same with me. It's hard to keep track of everything when you follow a handful of weekly manga.

Since this is Toriko I'd be more shocked if he hadn't. I think we've come well past the point where we can consider it an issue if someone loses less than 70% of their body parts.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the idea is that the real enemy is the blue nitro or someone working with them, who had lots of spies in both the IGO and Bishokukai. The resurrected Frohze is also part of their group, and everything since at least Midora resurrecting her has been part of their plan. Which is probably evil.
