So wait, Earth is Acacia's Dessert. Was this cooked during the last Gourmet Solar Eclipse?

Also, he (Acacia) apparently still exists in some form or fashion at least to the blue nitro

Lol if you actually thought that Acacia was dead. At no point did anyone even say he died, he's definitely going to show up near the end.

I just hope it doesn't pull a Naruto where the past generation all return to the spotlight and outshine everyone except Toriko who becomes Food Jesus to keep up with the power creep. Jiro being an amazing badass but not taking up too much time in an arc even if he does appear? That's great, keep it that way.

Not even likely.
The series has ben good about old not eclipsing new. It's even a theme.


And don't even compare it to Naruto, when has the series disappointed? Well except for the mindnumbingly asinine minority world.

Remember the appearance of Toriko's blue oni? Where the gently caress did that come from? Also, heal water completely negated the efforts made in the end of the Century Soup arc.

Something not readily available and produced by the incredibly powerful Derous, one of the Eight Kings of Gourmet World.

The other method was also supposed to take years to regrow an arm and could very well kill you in the process.

That his Hors d'Oeuvre has the ability to bring the dead back to life tells me that he could very well be dead and that he could be waiting to be revived.

Even Kaka stated that Mohyan Shaishai is reviving something incredible right now. It may stand to reason that he could be preparing the body.

So Acacia's Food Demon is the creature that was in Midora's flashback about a fairytale monster that would eat the sun back in chapter 252?

Does this now make Acacia the main villian? It would make sense to stop a gourmet war in order to create elite chefs to help make Acacia's full course the most incredible course to awaken this inner demon of his.

Was Frohze in on it as well?


This was an info dump, but it caused more questions as well.

Hah I looked back on that chapter.
Nitro-Pair's name was dropped way back when.

As for the person who Kali-Ma'd Kaka, that was Joa wasn't it? Maybe Joa is Frohze's appetite demon gone wild/joined the blue nitro/brainwashed
But seriously this is tying up a lot of loose ends concerning Acacia and then making a whole lot more.

Finally convinced my GF to watch the anime with me a while back, and as we're nearing the end I decided to "finish" a reread by just kinda skimming some bits and then reading the end of the gourmet fest arc. Man, I REALLY forgot how much random exposition came out in the few chapters after, lots of stuff going on that I completely forgot about.

My friends (who only have watched the anime) and myself just recently caught up with the last episode, and surprisingly it's not THAT different from the manga - in that, if they ever picked the show back up, they could continue where it left off with little trouble.

I mean YEAH, it sure as hell goes on one HELL of a :wtf: tangent Treasure-Trolliko :haw: but for some reason I had it in my head that they brought the anime series to a complete close or in a completely different direction.

Real Kaka was killed and some other nitro took her place. We recently saw fake Kaka being stopped from the flight Bambina sent it on by Pair.

I don't think Kaka was ever shown as being killed, just impersonated. It's possible she's always been dead, and the other nitro took her identity after escaping the food pyramid!

But if she was dead, why is being stabbed such a big deal, unless Pair brought her back to lifFUCK EVERYTHING :livintrope:
