Why would they let poisonous ingredients anywhere even near an orphanage

Well, either you poison the Orphans.

Or you eat them.

Or they become hulking super powers.

Options of the Torikoverse.

To be fair, even in real life there are foods like that. Notably cassava which is poisonous is not prepared properly. Most tubers like potatoes are similarly harmful when not prepared properly, though not quite as deadly.

Yeah, they did showcase that with the Poison Potato in the Casino Arc

Considering the orphanage was apparently poorer than poor, buying non-deadly ingredients was probably beyond them.

One thing I don't understand is, is there normal food production aside from all of the poo poo with capture levels that only the wealthy can afford?

I hope not. In the world of Toriko you either eat plants and animals that can break the laws of physics and level cities or you don't eat at all.

There probably was before the gourmet age but now this IS normal food production.

There are some low-capture-level ingredients mentioned as being genetically engineered by IGO for mass production, like Neo Tomato, IIRC.

There's also crops of meat growing in the wild, fudge geysers, and so on with capture levels of 0 and below. Don't know how those environments are inhabited/if people can get to those places safely, though, since there are wild animals everywhere.

You know what was actually surprising in this chapter?

Midora, because he walks into his hosed up base and goes, "I'm hungry, start a meal", like nothing happened.

Not too surprising seeing as there is a lot of fighting to do and he can't do it on an empty stomach.

I think Midora can be smug right now because in the end the Bishokukai captured Komatsu and that's all that matters. The whole battle at the cooking fest was apparently to capture him.

I wonder who is still even part of the IGO/Bishokukai. When the Bishokukai were introduced I'd never have seen them eventually teaming up with Toriko which seems likely now

Only because he read that cookbook in the gourmet pyramid. Komatsu has absurd food luck and ridiculous potential, but no one is after his skills as a chef.

He's pretty hot poo poo as a chef, too - even if you don't count the Century Soup due to his food luck giving him the last ingredient, he also innovated a way to mass-distribute a nasty medicine dish and make it fukken delicious to boot in less time than it takes most people to watch an episode of Sherlock.

I don't think they're necessarily going to team up per se, more like the X-Men/Brotherhood where you have two sides with opposing ideals with a common enemy.

Well it was to capture chefs, not just Komatsu. It's just that he's the only one they got hold of. Zebra pretty much killed everything else.

Neo is the one with the special interest in Komatsu, due to the cookbook. The Bishokukai was after every chef they could get their hands on.

"Well I just murdered my older brother and devastated human world for no discernible reason, and now most of my evil organization wrecked my base and defected to an even more evil organization. I am literally starving with rage!"

I like to think Gourmet cells replace most major emotions with hunger. Except, of course, the pain of a "delicious hunter" being unable to protect a single cooker. :smith:

Toriko will express his love for Komatsu by killing and eating him. The reason why Komatsu has such an uncanny rapport with ingredients is because he is one.

I'm betting that asteroid that hit Earth X million years ago was the debris from the Gourmet planet exploding, and its last son (Komatsu) arrived only recently to help humanity rise from the ashes into a new gourmet age.

Galactus found a way to make a planet more delicious before consumption.

The Nitro are Galactus' new heralds that he picked up from their planet when he fed upon it and realized they could cook whole planets.

Sorry, that's Komatsu. Komatsu is Galactus' herald. He just has Gourmet Amnesia right now.

The manga ends with Toriko eating Galactus, thereby BECOMING Galactus!
