How the hell is Old Lady Setsuno holding up the world at this point? I think this fight was enough for seven mass extinctions at this point.

Her barrier broke several chapters ago. I think at this point it's down to lucky misses and no one attacking the human world directly.

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


Even if the whole planet is hosed, one planet is a pretty small price to pay for defeating the thing that wants to scare every living thing in the universe to near-death before eating it

see, that would be a standard heroic motivation. however, this is toriko. toriko's motivations are eating good food, eating good food with his buds, and having a loving relationship with komatsu who makes good food for him to eat.

...and it's been established that there's food elsewhere. They're playing for stakes where the planet doesn't matter no matter what!

Also full power toriko can only handle one poke? Why is toriko ending.

Same, he seems like he's really important but unless I forgot something none of his gourmet spirits have really gotten much backstory.

All they ever said about red is that he was the most powerful and taciturn of the oni.

Which makes me question what family of appetite demons blue comes from if he isn't an oni

So are they trying to wrap up by chapter 400? I've got a feeling that'll be the case if Acacia/Neo really is defeated now.

it isn't all bad. the finale's breakneck pace is almost certainly thanks to the cancellation, and that is probably an improvement over a slower rendition.

Rereading it looks like acacia really did get exploded by just a fingerpoke from the very calm Buddha demon

Possibly. I'm quite disappointed that zebra ended up getting worfed off-screen, out of all the side arcs that got dropped.

I thought I read somewhere that someone was planning to turn Blue Grill (the giant clam continent in the Another arc) into a spaceship to save all the humans if the Earth gets destroyed.

yeah toriko has always been weakest during overly long fights so it's a good thing they kicked it up to 11,000,000 for this

I have real mixed feelings about the cancellation. On the one hand it's gonna end and it's really good but on the other hand I'm very grateful to it for making this batshit crazy ending, somehow it manages to be paced just well enough to feel hectic instead of outright rushed

in a perfect world we would have gotten all of the 8 king arcs in full and only then would the manga be cancelled, speeding along the ending. but eh, i'll take a good ending and cut arcs over the opposite.
