A lot of things have happened to me over my life.

Clarifying the last panel. So that's just Jirou's talking severed head right?

Yep. He also stole a life orb from the nitro he gave parkinsons to.

I dunno, this manga has been pretty clever with those kinds of problems. My favorite was the gorilla who was immune to poison, so Coco gave it an addictive drug instead and let it go through withdrawal.

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?

I can't get over Jirou's face on page 13. He looks like Johnny Bravo or something. Komatsu is gonna end up cooking Neo so well that he eats himself a la Pizza the Hutt.

Neo's eating of attacks will be overcome by Toriko, who will share a meal with him through fighting, and Neo, having never shared a meal with anyone before will finally be satisfied.

Acacia probably corrupted Neo. Turning it into an rear end in a top hat instead of a hungry little creep.

I wonder what Joa's motive is. Have to think NEO would just eat her too.

Edit: also Jirou is totally going to get reincarnated as a Gourmet Demon.

Looks like someone forgot his hardhat...
He probably could've done a better job of establishing Acacia's character before now, because the whole "Oh yes, our happy family was fake thing" lacks any impact and my go-to assumption is that this is Neo loving with Jirou.

If anyone wants to correct me feel free, because my understanding of Acacia just breaks down to:

1. Ultimate food-fighting dude and happy family man.
2. Everyone on earth knows him.
3. Goes missing.
4. Reappears as the host of Neo and super-evil and it's now implied that he was a fucker all-along OR has been driven crazy by Neo and is just mentally gone.

Spiderdrake

Yeah, I think you're right. That whole bit felt really weird, though. I assume during 3. he had to use Neo to fight the Nitro and that's when things went foul. I feel like this was hinted at, but I could be remembering wrong?

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
I'm kind of conflicted. On one I hand I am going to be salty as gently caress if Midora never gets to fight Acacia, but I know deep down if that happens he has to lose so Komatsu can beat NEO instead.

Nice. Testing the waters. Let's see if I can get away with putting a tentacle in a man's mouth. Maybe even show some white stuff after he pulls it out. Mmm yes. . . . yes. . . .

Yeah, it'll be interesting to learn whether the true rear end in a top hat is Acacia or Neo, or if both of them were just a little selfish and were the perfect combo for each other.

And Komatsu is gonna cheerfully cook something for this dude that'll somehow satisfy his endless hunger, thus removing his ability to eat attacks so Toriko can punch it into oblivion.

I was about to post that I'm a little disappointed that neo is just stronger than everyone else because he's also hungrier, then realized that that makes perfect sense and am basically completely fine with that

Jirou already told him how to draw out Midora's despair, which is of course NEO's spice of choice.

I kinda hope it's a con and saying it will keep Midora from holding back.

Man, that fight was like a children's game of one-upsmanship. Midora even at one point just went "yeah I countered your thing, now what?"

Now he's trapped inside a shell inside a can, though, so... Yeah. Wasn't enough I guess.
