I am totally OK with Toriko characters dying; we have so many already.

Thought it was kind of weird for Jiji to say all the blue nitro can't stop Acacia. Why would they want to? Isn't their entire existence to revive him?

He's saying that even a team-up of all the strongest people in the world wouldn't be able to stop such a monster.

Does anyone not want to talk about how Acacia is eating the blue Nitros all chill and poo poo?

its really awesome. This manga does the ridiculous twists a lot better than any other shonen I've seen. Even One Piece, the big reveals always feel like they were sort of planned and cleverly hidden, whereas here it just feels like he is throwing stuff against the wall and just going all-out and that makes for a really exciting story! Between the Acacia stuff recently and the end of chapter reveal here, this is my favourite manga.

Even the death fakeouts stopped being annoying and started being sort of self aware and funny. I vaguely remember being annoyed at the Teppei decapitation one, but now I smile every time Komatsu gets stabbed in the heart. It's such a good manga.

He's the ruler of the crazy cooking town in a big clam that all the chefs are in right now.

Also I guess none of the chefs who defected to Neo are actually evil, just infected with brain parasites?

But he was also living inside Ichiryuu for the past 200 years? Has he only been king for like 6 months or something? I dont really get this food spirit stuff

Maybe maybe not.
Zaus might not be but that frog tongue guy and the time spider might genuinely be evil.


Since they look freaky.
And looking freaky in toriko means you a bad guy.

I think this is generally more applicable, given Toriko's energy level and content.

I'm glad it turns out Zaus and co were secretly being mind controlled by Joa. Because I thought it was kind of dumb back when NEO was revealed that it turned out that like 90% of all characters had been double agents the entire time.

Yeah spider guy was the one who revived the Four Beast so he's pretty unambiguously evil.

He is also one of the 4 Living National Treasures. Anyway he may not be truly evil. He may be one of the many that got slashed by Joie and fell under his/her (I am really not sure) control.

Thats what I'm saying. How can he be the king if he was Ichi's food stand? Unless the spirits can do whatever the gently caress they want in spirit world until they are summoned by their host. Or was he released by Ichi's death and has been king for only two years

He's going to power him up with the might of better cooking, better than all other cooking, that he learned from the 980 million side characters. And it's going to make sense, somehow.

Also I am seriously impressed with the art in this chapter.
