Right, I meant more putting up with Acacia's... Everything else. Up until he went too far.


Supposedly she ate Pair (the ball soup, not the Nitro), which would have resulted in her body changing, actually, so...

Ahh...there was a moment where everyone became women wasn't there...?

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

Midora was trying to do the big reveal "It was actually twins! and they are fighting you right now!" to Acacia, but then went "gently caress it your a douche i'm just gonna hit you." Possibly he has been aware of things and been a secret good guy the entire time? Since his goal is epic revenge on terrible dad Acacia.

I think his goal was to satisfy his hunger, up until he met Komatsu, at which point he instantly became a good guy.

Because Komatsu satisfied his hunger, not with the rarest ingredients or the finest delicacies, but by cooking a meal filled with ~love~.

If Midora survives, and I hope he does, I totally expect him to pick up Ichiryuu's dream where it was left off. Everyone in the world enjoying a delicious meal together! :3:

Haha I recruited the unborn fetus in my dead wife by giving it magic water until it absorbed her entire body and resurrected.

WRONG that is actually your dead wife that was brought back to life after eating a frog and turned into a man due to drinking the spiritual essense of a monkey's testicles

well actually it is a random chef ghost which is possessing his dead wife-turned-man's body, but he mistakenly believed that he was the dead wife. for the possession to work the body had to come back to life, though.

Midora's good guy-ness sort of makes sense since his hostility was derived from his mother's death, and having Acacia to blame shifts that around plus he met Komatsu and we all know how that goes. I can sort of agree with it.

While Starjun appears to have been bumped up to main cast by default!

We're not really supposed to know who Starjun/Toriko's father is, right?

Komatsu is totally going to be the kid, I think. Wasn't the food demon that was guiding him in the Moon's stomach the same one Frohze had when s/he used God cooking to save Midora?

komatsu wasn't born with gourmet cells. the result of a centuries long corpse pregnancy sustained by magic water is absolutely gonna have gourmet cells.

Nothing says the same food demon can't go to more the one person, (maybe not at the same time but if one fails it can keep trying, unless eaten by neo, in fact doesn't don slime do exactly this?)

food demons aren't hereditary, but they can appear again when the previous owner is dead. komatsu having frohze's food demon just means he is a really good cook.

Is it strange that this suddenly became my favorite full course because of how utterly unique it is? It's really the courses where I've seen the person develop a connection to the ingredient(s) that stand out in this series. The rest just further reinforce a character's theme but Midora's is in the former camp.
