What is it about cannibalism that makes it so much worse than just killing a dude and leaving it at that? Neo is the creepiest motherfucker.

Does Jirou even have a Gourmet Demon? Kinda seems like he is one himself.

I'm laughing at the old-lady looking Nitro getting choked the gently caress out by Jirou. Acacia is still there, right? He and Neo seems to be "partners"

With all the ramping up of "neo is the hungriest and strongest dude" I hope the plot conclusion isn't just "actually toriko is, because he's 2 3.... maybe 4 dudes?"

Jirou choking out 3 nitros at once is the best thing

Considering NEO just ate a supernovae, what's going to happen is that when they defeat NEO, everything he's eaten is going to burst out at once and form a new Gourmet Universe

I guess they should've taken him more seriously when he said he used to eat lizards all the time, back in the the day.

In addition to this, does the Eight Kings have Gourmet Cells? I can't recall if it s mentioned. The only I remembered, that Bambina's ancestor drank Pair dry and that's why his species is super strong.

Komatsu is gonna cook something so good it'll satisfy Neo and that'll be the end I imagine, since it looks like no amount of food-punching works.

That was almost exactly my thought. The fact that whoever he eats doesn't show up in the spirit realm is telling. I feel like this is going to go full Super Mario Galaxy weird.

The problem was that everyone grilled god when the proper way to bring 120% of god flavor out is to sous vide. :chef:

What is Midora even doing now? Because Joa is six billion kinds of intergalactifucked if he can do what Jirou can do.

Well, considering Midora already demonstrated that he can land 6 lethal blows on Joa in less than 0.1 second, Joa has to pull some next level Gourmet bullshit to survive.

I mean that's guaranteed to happen and it will almost certainly be related to Joa riding around in Midoriya's adopted mom's Frankensteined body.

If I'm reading it right, it seems his power comes from being raised from infancy on a diet that was extremely rich in gourmet cells. I'd say he's more of a monster like one of the 8 Kings than anything. All the other top-tiers are human/demon "hybrids."

It's so fitting for Toriko that the distinguishing characteristic of humans vs. Gourmet demons is "Do they have testicles?"

What's Japan's deal with equating super-tough guys with that goofy 50's style pompadour hair? Jirou's got it, Takamura in Ippo has it, there's a dude in Bleach with it. Why's it so prolific?

It's sort of a stereotypical "punk" look in Japan, basically. There's several biker gangs that go all in with the overdone rockabilly 50's thing and have since, well, the 50's, and it's sort of gotten extended as visual shorthand for a rebellious personality.

That's ... I mean I appreciate the effort the guy in the middle put in but I just can't take that seriously, the cultural gulf is too strong.

That said I do think Jirou looks cool.
