So Midora turned down Joa/Joie's advances. I guess that makes him and Acacia the only straight male characters in the series.

His cries for help only make him more delicious so they have been thus far ignored.

Acacia bypassing Midora's Minority World by deliberately missing punches was cool as hell. Sort of reminded me of Luffy vs Enel's Mantra, although the specifics are a bit different.

I know it's called "Minority World", but the attack's real name should be "Opposite Day". Something's powerful enough to kill you? Declare "It's Opposite Day!" and it's so weak it doesn't even leave a scratch. Enemy attacking too fast? "Opposite Day!" Now it's super slow. Opponent screwing you over with Opposite Day? Aim punches to miss them and then say, "Hey, it's Opposite Day, remember?" and they all hit.

Toriko fights have been like kids playing make-believe and one-upping each other repeatedly for a while now, and Minority World and Gourmet Luck (i.e. "Nuh-uh!") are the epitome of that. (This isn't entirely a criticism, mind; I thought Minority World was pretty dumb previously but with this realization it's amusing me a lot.)

This. I cannot loving wait.

Toriko's endgame is so beautifully the inverse of Bleach, I love it. No wasting time, just get bigger and crazier and more brutal.

My only complaint, if anything is how just invoking the word or concept of "Gourmet Luck" is supposed to be a devastating attack. Using it to dodge attacks or alter fate is fine, but just saying it and having the opponent take damage is a bit silly even for Toriko.

The greatest part is that there is the Gourmet Heaven saga after this and it's going to be completely glorious

I think the melty Gourmet Luck thing might have to do with Joie's fungus too, not just declaring "I'm lucky" and "Opposite Day"

Yeah, Joie's still attacking with fungus stiff, Gourmet Luck just makes it so that everything works (when not up against equal or greater Gourmet Luck).

Still, the constant invocations of Gourmet Luck are really, really silly, given that it started out like, well, luck, things just working out, and not an active power. It reached its peak when Joie was just standing there going "Gourmet Luck! Gourmet Luck!" repeatedly, though that's also the chapter where Joie finally lost, so going forward it seems like it's mostly going to be Midora and Komatsu with it, neither of whom seem as likely to actively invoke it. Maybe.

sadly, no. toriko got a lot more time to wrap things up than bleach, but it was still cancelled. this is the last arc.

Yea its the last arc. The last arc before the new chapter of the Toriko saga is unleashed.

I don't think it has to do with fungus, I think it's based on probability and other quantum mechanical pseudo-science, like Minority World.
