Also Acacia, as far as I'm aware, isn't in on the plan to seal Neo away, since Neo's part of him and all. I'm not sure why he thinks the Nitro are wanting to help him, really.

How could they stop him when he's become this powerful?
Im just wondering what the nitro were thinking. They dont stand a chance.

Midora always looks to me like he's THIS close to busting out Jojo poses and I'm not sure what it is about him but I'm happy he's back.

Except in Toriko you remember every single piece of bread you've eaten and it gives you food power.

They have some sort of trick, they have been planning this for LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS.


And they are still hosed, luckily toriko's third demon has got this poo poo.

Acacia is going to eat CENTER... and then get eaten by NEO to create the perfected form, not eat NEO.

That makes more sense for making a perfect NEO but raises the question of how the gently caress that Nitro(Pair?) intends to defeat NEO by himself.

If he was simply killed like that, he'd revive eventually. If Neo eats him he's gone for good. Demons only die when they're eaten.

Well that and he got such a powerful virulent heart disease that it only failed to kill him because of time traveler interference.

Okay, that answers my earlier question of Acacia would be going along with the Nitros' plan to let Neo eat him.

He wasn't.

As ridiculous as it is (though it was foreshadowed a bit, as I posted above), I kind of like the anticlimax of how, after Neo surviving everything that's been thrown at it no matter what, Acacia just eats it off-panel. Though of course that's going to be even worse really.

Mraagvpeine posted:

I'm going off of memory here, but Heracles, the crow, the snake, and Moon are all dead, unless they're surviving missing massive parts of their bodies. Guinness is still alive, I think Bambina was alive but badly messed up last we saw, and despite launching what was the most effective attack on Neo the deer was still alive I think too. Derous is still around too; Neo deflected its laser but didn't go for the kill. So, assuming I'm not misremembering or misinterpreting some events, half of them are still alive.

Yeah I thought I remembered that, but the Toriko wiki (was checking it for that and other things) mentioned his surprise attack on Neo despite being partially-devoured, which I also remembered, and still listed him as "alive", so I figured I was forgetting something. But it still lists every King as alive, it turns out, so, yeah, that was probably just Bambina making one last attack and not a sign that he's going to make it.
