I miss seeing Toriko cream himself every time he ate something. Acacia's full course is meant to be the best food ever but everyone is just going mmm...yum.

What happened to all the weird, but tasty looking, food in this manga? It's all just 'generic glowy blob that tastes great no really' or 'liquid that's really shiny must taste great' now.

I love how Toriko manages to be more creepy and horrifying in spite of being a goofy cooking manga at the start. There's something about Neo that is far creepier and far easier to relate to than whatever other ninja sword spirit magic crap. You don't really need a loving back story - look at how little exposition this chapter actually has. He wants to terrify your loving glands into overdrive and then devour your flesh. He boils you in fear. Arghghugh. We all eat. We all know of things being eaten. It's a primal fear mixed with a very modern social construct. It's not a philosophy, it's something we all do.

Inversely a lot of food tastes like poo poo if you terrify it right before it dies. Adrenaline tastes bad, iirc. To us, mind you, I'm not bitching about realism. Neo's tastebuds are apparently primed for the flavor of unrelenting genocide.

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
Some species (I wanna say ostrich?) have delicate blood vessels that will burst and taint the flavor of the meat if the animal is agitated before it dies, so the ideal way to slaughter them is to kill them before they know they're dead.

Neo's true purpose is being livestock and there's only one thing livestock are ultimately good for.

Dude had to diversify, can't just put all your space dollars in straight-up real estate.

At first I was pissed off because we didn't get any fun adventure flashbacks but then this loving peyote trip happened so I guess I'm good now.

I actually liked how it finally gives the terror of Neo in this chapter. It never gives up. Even killing the motherfucker won't stop it, it will just Gourmet Resurrect.

Also the casual drop of two universes or something?
