Goddamnit did they cut when Starjun revealed his and Toriko's father?

It's Midora. That's why they cut to him.

Personally I'm surprised he had kids whom he didn't eat out of the crib.

Wasn't half of his body eaten?

The whole regeneration thing has me wondering.

If you can't regenerate parts of you eaten by Neo, what about growing new parts instead?

i didn't remember that he was partially eaten by neo. nothing comes back from that, or at least nothing does unless komatsu gets eaten by neo immediately after he was eaten by god.

Like, I remember something about scars and Joa? Like how Joa was scarring people so deeply that their gourmet cells couldn't recover or whatever, letting her brainwash them or something, yeah? And how those scars couldn't really be healed unless you had some really strong shock?

Does Neo's eating work off something like that or is it something else entirely? I know that Neo's on like, a level above Blue Nitros and demons like Don Slime, but I wonder if it works off the same principle.

No. In fact I'm not even sure how Teppei recovered from the flavor change.

Wasn't it the case that Teppei was never brainwashed and just always pretending?

Zeus and some other cooks had the brainwashing broken after being killed by Midora. The life orbs or whatever let them come back from death.

Shigetsu? I think that's what his name was? The vice president of the IGO had his brainwashing undone by Toriko's attack, but the attack also resulted in his death.

He was definitely brainwashed. Maybe when jiroh yelled at him it wore off. I guess he wasn't brainwashed when he killed Komatsu. I don't even remember the vice president fight now.

Hmmm, Jirou yelling makes sense, I think. Jirou is pretty strong after all.

:rip: one of the many cool old dudes who had to die.

The Vice President thing wasn't even a fight, he showed up after Teppei did his thing to Komatsu's heart and then pissed off Toriko blew him away in a single punch.

That was the dude Toriko infinity-punched, sending him flying through the sky until a bird ate him or something I think.

teppei removed komatsu's heart so that he could adapt to his gourmet cells. i dunno how that is supposed to work, but they made it pretty clear that teppei wasn't brainwashed then.

Yeah. So I guess he's been working undercover inside neo after breaking free of the flavor change?

iirc he busted through the bird along with toriko's infinity punch and is still being punched. If that did not happen, it's what I choose to believe. :black101:

I don't think so, I think Acacia thought Joie was Frozhe's son? But it was actually Frozhe him/herself? I have no idea what's going on, but I'm loving it!

Joie is a man, I think. Joie is also a different person from Frohze. Considering he was kind of sort of born from her body, it isn't too strange to consider him her son.

At the least, Joie (when did the shift to "Joie" from "Joa" happen? I liked "Joa" better) seems to be dedicated to Acacia, possibly a trait that he inherited from Frozhe.

Midora was suggesting that frohze was actually trying to prevent acacia from going to [the furthest lands], was my take.

Part of me thinks that the gender thing was a mistranslation and what midora was referring to was the difference between frohze's and joie's appetite demons. Also, joie isn't exactly drawn like a man, considering this is toriko we're discussing.

Right, I meant more putting up with Acacia's... Everything else. Like what he discussed in this very chapter.

I don't know. There's some reason Joie is so dedicated to Acacia, but what it is isn't really clear since he's not really getting anything out of it.

Supposedly she ate Pair (the ball soup, not the Nitro), which would have resulted in her body changing. Which is the body Joie then possessed or whatever.
