Yes, like when Toriko summoned his stand appetite demons to fight, Acacia is doing the same thing. I also thought the third demon looked a bit like Grinpatch at first.

I, too, thought that was Grinpatch. But he's melted so yeah, it's Demon The Third.

Jesus what a chapter. I love all these giant monstrous animals and will be very sad as they are taken about by Super Neo.

So 20 more chapters of toriko? I am just estimating but ending on 400 is within reason.

For all that this is nonsense escalation it still manages to have stakes that make sense

like I still have no clue what YWACH wants but NEO's "gently caress it man I'm just gonna eat everything and also I'm creepy as gently caress", now that's not complicated and also has been shown to the audience

Toriko at this point is only somewhat more coherent than Bleach, really. I miss when it was about people fighting bizarre animals and cooking impossibly delicious food, instead of the nonsense-metaphysics that it's focused on now.

The Eight Kings and the God frog are cool, but everything involving NEO, Back Channels, and glowing globs of gelatin is tedious.

Coherency I dont mind.

What I do really care about and appreciate is the (satisfyingly done) tying of loose ends. Everything that was hinted at or set up is being addressed.

Both writers got their cancellation notices very much in advance. And one of them doddered on while the other embraced the poo poo out of a crappy oppurtunity.

The fact that Toriko got cancelled because of low sales makes me really angry. loving plebs!

Yeah it seems that the two authors handled it very differently so Bleach kept going at the same meandering formulaic pace and Toriko just slammed on the gas and has been careening like a juggernaut towards the ending come hell or high water

Shocked I tell you
Though I must say it's interesting to know that the Blue Nitro can revive themselves after a certain amount of time. (Guessing this is why Air's death at Neo's hands was an issue for them.) And Pair killed Center so that he could revive later on rather then risk him dying to Neo.

Pretty sure this was stated by the Nitro themselves.

It's a gourmet cell thing. The Blue Nitro have really strong gourmet cells and so they are reborn, eventually. Just like all the Gourmet Demons inside people. And that's the scariest thing about NEO - when it eats something, that thing never comes back again.

I don't understand the Nitro and Acacia's motivations anymore. I thought they were trying to revive Neo so they could seal him into a golden can? But then why are they trying to get him to a perfect form now?

They need Neo in perfect form so they can seal him.
