I remember having a weird problem with Toriko but I only read the first hundred or so chapters. Spoilers I guess. I'll tie it into One Piece discussion. I felt like every arc invalidated the one before it, since every early arc has the big bad defeat the previous big bad effortlessly. So NOW poo poo IS SERIOUS which I guess I understand from a storytelling perspective but it was seriously, like, "Big Croc is strong as gently caress but wait giant ape is so strong it SHITS on Big Croc but hey Smart Wolf is so strong, man, we cloned it and it effortlessly killed every big bad from the last three arcs!" In One Piece, even early arc bosses are still considered threats today, the world feels so rich and scary because strong people are everywhere. Also it was weird to me that Toriko starts the story as like, one of the four strongest people on Earth or something? I'm sure challenges later arise and he improves like in all shonen but it's like, if we read One Piece from Whitebeard's perspective, but he already was a Yonkou? And every arc was just revealing cool poo poo he could already do?

Silento posted:That's the best part! Every arc is way more absurd than the last. You should see the current stuff! Knowing nothing about Toriko, I really like how one fight involves a guy using dark gravity powers to invert the particles on a dude he's fighting in some alternate dimension and so the particles in most of his body turn to nothingness, ripping him apart. It looks ridiculously cool!

It should be noted that writing a story starring a protagonist that's already the strongest isn't fundamentally bad. It just takes someone like ONE to pull it off.

Toriko doesn't start out as anywhere near the strongest, though. He's famous, but there's plenty of people stronger than him.

I stopped Toriko when they started doing all this poo poo that wasn't about about doing an insane mission to gather an ingredient to make a delicious as gently caress looking meal.

drat, I totally forgot how heart wrenching the beginning of Water 7 was. Also, Kaku's first appearance was slashing a man in the back with a saw Finally, Luffy's drawing of Franky before Water 7 was pretty accurate.

Franky's dream is to have a ship that he designed become the pirate king's ship there's no way much if any of it was based on pluton

To people who have read Toriko and other not quite mainstream shonenjump titles, how similar are the fights to Medaka Box? iD be willing to give it a shot if the comparison is fair. also I love that one guy with the hair in Jump Victory vs

This re-read I am doing has me thinking about the story arcs... Even though pre grand line has the "Walk to Arlong Park" moment, overall it was pretty weak in comparison with everything from the Grand line forward. Pre Grand line was actually a bit boring and I found myself wishing it would hurry on. Once Oda got to the Grand line the story really picks up.

Captain Invictus posted:http://kissmanga.com/Manga/One-Piece-Digital-Colored-Comics The translation isn't perfect and does vary, but it's better than when these were all originally scanlated.

They're all wearing the same outfit but their height, bodyshape, and facial hair are all different.
