Or maybe in the mammoth biotope, there was like a grassland of rice, or some other delicious thing. There's a lot of food in this place though, yeah.

Keep in mind that the Four Beasts destroyed a lot of stuff before the Meteor Spice hit.

"not enough food" in Torikoverse is probably "I can only find 200 pounds of the latest produce at the market!"

The thing is we were given context as to what happened to the land in human world via Meteor Spice, but to lose oceans teeming with life (and alcohol). I just want to put this under plot hole mistake. Unless of course Meteor spice hits water, and just nukes everything living upon contact. So desserts of rice and oceans of booze were lost.

So basically this is a stopgap before they go into the gourmet world and...presumably do ~something~ that'll revive the human world?? Kinda fuzzy on the details there. Like, I thought god was supposed to just be the best ingredient ever? Maybe god is part of the planet and Komatsu will end up preparing the planet as an ingredient to revive it?

Well a bunch of bishoukai switched sides and left, and 3 of the 4 heavenly kings were just dicking around for a year, so there probably werent too many people gathering these dangerous ingredients that did survive.

This is probably it. As far as we can tell the vast majority of people are just normal real world people, so the combination of lots of bishokukai leaving, parts of the world getting randomly nuked, and the fact that even the most basic ingredients are giant murderous hellbeasts means that they just don't have any way to get and distributes food to the billions of people in the torikoverse.

Meteor spice basically took out anything easy to get, your capture level 4s and lower, 5+ can take out tanks and oh poo poo the igo got its rear end handed to it and the tech destroyed.

# ? Feb 20, 2014 19:35 |

Yeah and I imagine Capture Level 5+ ingredients probably started eating eachother or dying off fairly fast when all of the weaker stuff disappeared.

Well clearly the bird can only lay infinite eggs if its forelock is shaped like an infinity sign. That's like, Foodbiology 101. And speaking of weird biology, I really want to know what got Sunny to cut his hair. I bet it tried to eat him in his sleep and he had to teach it a lesson.

I like how in the world of delicious food animals, you can go extinct by being tasting like poo poo so nobody eats you. Toriko logic is the best logic.

MegaCharger posted:I like how in the world of delicious food animals, you can go extinct by being tasting like poo poo so nobody eats you. Toriko logic is the best logic. Technically this could be actual logic though The creature adapted so that everytime it was attacked it layed droves of eggs so that it could escape. This "evolution" so to speak could have just made it to the point that reproduction to preserve its species didn't take place anymore. Later, as animals/Bishokuya became wise to the Billion Birds antics, they stopped consuming the eggs. Since the Billion Bird was no longer attacked, it didn't lay eggs, and because its normal reproduction doesn't take place anymore, it simply went extinct.

Seebach posted:Technically this could be actual logic though We're dealing with Earth after the gourmet asteroid hit and now the planet has 4^3 more volume but the same gravity, and wild animals that can stand up to an entire nation's military might. Plus some crazy powerful organization is involved with heading into space, probably to find the source of gourmet asteroids where capture levels reach 6-7 digits and even tasting a scrap of its flesh will turn anyone into a pre timeskip level Bishouyka, and cooking it properly (which only Komatsu could do) will literally make someone into pure gourmet energy.

There's probably a gourmet pulsar out there sending out waves of pure hunger radiation and you have to armor yourself and your food-ship with Ultimate Food Honor in order to reach the core of infinitely-dense pudding or some poo poo.

dazoner posted:Well there goes my theory that the billion birds were immature Nitros. There's something very "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" about being so amiable with an animal you're praising for tasting delicious. When Toriko's hair grew I thought he looked a lot like Midora, but that's probably just because of the author's style.

Yeah, in the real world eating fried chicken does not make you shed tears of pure joy and also if you have a specific genetic condition actually grow swole-er, so I think it's understandable that people in the Toriko universe would be sort of ho hum about it.
