Oh all the pets are kings too? I must have forgot. Well, that still leaves two possible spots for some sort of divine bovine king. :pray:

They are younger members of that species, as explained with hercules, there are many phantom horse Heracs, but only one Hercules.


I predict kaka gets an asswhupping to remember.

It turns out that it's literally the underworld. Komatsu will die and Toriko and friends will have to literally eat death itself to get him back.

Well it's a good thing one of Acacia's meals can revive the dead

Count me in for the camp that hopes Kaka gets stomped here. While this is probably the time to show how strong she is, you also have to consider that she was unwilling to come to the area with the Sandorikos and Bambina seems to feel no affects of the allergies.

Bambina has been crying the whole time, he would just rather dance instead of get out of there

Yes, I can see that. I meant that he is just tanking the effects no problem, where Kaka was scared to even get close to the area. But you are probably right, he just wants to dance.

Remember the regular old synthesized Sandoriko just made him sneeze up a dust storm.

The Battle Wolf was never stated to be the strongest. Though it is stronger then the Monkey King as they are the two 8 kings we know the capture level of. Bambina is 6000 and the Wolf king is 6090.

Anyway the Blue Nitro have been able to get pair in the past so I am presuming that Kaka will beat the monkey king. The reason Kaka likely went through all of this trouble was to get the 100% perfect pair rather then just forcibly take them from the monkey king.

Remember how the other blue nitro at the table refered to the sky garden nitro as "Pair" when he showed up to the discussion?

I'm sure all the blues were given a specific ingredient to study, and I figure he may show up and stomp the king after Kaka gets hers.

The 8 Kings are implied to be about equal in strength since they hold the equilibrium of power i the Gourmet World.

Which is weird when Daruma sage says that Bambina outclasses the Horse King.

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
I'm guessing it'd be like, Battle Wolf or Bambina could take a weaker King out 9 times out of 10, but they'd be seriously wounded and easy pickings for one of the remaining 6 after the battle.

Man, though. Bambina is so much more of a likeable character than Heracles, who Toriko-flaying aside was pretty boring.

Maybe Bambina out does the Horse King in physical strength while the Horse King can suck out the air and survive that.

Maybe he still references raw capture level, in that it's not necessarily representing raw strength, but rather overall difficulty in subduing it. See also: puffer whales

The horse king was really cool for its breath powers but in the end, she was just a pregnant mom. It's hard to go too crazy with that. I hope at the end of the manga, the Kings all end up befriending the gang and get either help out against the final Big Bad or get to join in the world's largest party banquet :3

It happened the last time Toriko grabbed his nuts too. Probably has something to do with tree.

When they were doing the exposition for the 8 Kings iirc they did say they fought amongst each other but did not make real headway into each others territory due to similar strengths.

Like Mraagvipeine posted one King could edge out the other in some areas. I still think they would/should meet the Battle Wolf last, as a kind of milestone for Terry's sorta-not-really character arc, seeing as hes the only pet to get any sort of screentime beyond being an accessory/background object.

I am 99% sure there will be a giant gently caress off fight at the end where all the good guys storm the Blue Nitro's homebase. And just as it seems poo poo is going to hit the fan, the 8 kings will show up to help because it totally looks like Toriko and co are helping out each in their times of need and befriend them. Also I bet all 8 have some ancient grief to pick with the nitros.

It's really the only way I see the good guys being able to take on the baddies, as there seem to be quite a few blue nitros for just the 4 heavenly kings to take on, not to mention the rest of the brainwashed scrubs.

Bambina sleeps literally in the upper athmosphere, I don't think a little lack of air bothers him too much.

They've bro'd it up with Heracles and Bambina so far, so they're 2 for 2.

Until on of acacias menus speeds up time or some poo poo as a pet power up. I mean, if they want them to be useful they will have to get a big power up at some point.

The ingredient we just saw had the power to bring people from the underworld, I don't think it is too farfetched to think that one of them can gently caress around with time.
