MY GOD. THE WILL... THE FIGHTING SPIRIT... JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT'S OVER, TSM COMES BACK STRONGER THAN EVER.
The nitos are going to feed the planet earth to lavos in order to make lavos reach it's dragon ball esque final form. Jirou responds by pulling a tent peg from his heart and turning into a pompadoured werewolf, but not before threatening to destroy the planet by striking it with his hand. Meanwhile, Lavos escapes by transporting it's self to the afterlife. A lavos pod lands near the monkey King, a mr T esque plot by lavos to devour the monkey kings balls.

The next chapter could focus on any random subplot and I'd still be hyped as gently caress. Everything is cool and good.

I know you're joking but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Jirou isn't exactly human.

Did we decide not to bother with spoilers anymore? I think the manga transcended the need for spoilers a couple chapters back anyway.

Seriously, it sounds like we're just making up poo poo but we so are not :allears:

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.

I am loving the design on the Blue Nitros, they look so distinct but at the same thematically linked.

You can add in that Lavos is Canned in the near future and sent back in time, but will be un-canned shortly after having been discovered by Toriko and Pals and have to be truly defeated by the Four Kings.

Besides all that awesomeness/insanity, my curiosity is piqued by the last page; I wonder how Bambina is going to take the arrival of the Neo spawn. Is he going to clown it like Jirou did, or... I rather hope he doesn't die. I quite like him.

The NEO Spawn ate Jirou's arm, can't say it was really clowned.

Yes this! Unlike so many other series where they cut to the b-plt when things get interesting, here there is no b-plot and so many great things are happening at the same time you don't care where they cut to.

This really shines in the Cooking Fest arc. There was sooooo much going and so many characters doing insane things that jumping around often made the weekly chapters really entertaining!

Ehhh the speed of light in a medium can be broken, it happens all the time in submersed reactors where neutrinos move faster in water than light does, because light bounces around a lot and neutrinos can't be assed to do much of anything, ever.

Also this is Toriko and it's some sort of weird ghost fish and maybe the realm of spirits is Moon's stomach or something???

I love that the Whale King is so huge that he doesn't even know where his stomach is. Acacia's demon got clowned the moment it landed on the water
