It's definitely a good way to do an ending arc, compared to let's say, Bleach.

comparing toriko and bleach is very unkind to bleach. on a related note, comparing a petrified dog turd and bleach is also very unkind to bleach.

Dont you mean it the other way around


For both of them.



More things happen in a petrified dog turd in a month then what bleach manages to do in 2 years.

no, i mean that bleach can never live up to the example of toriko or a petrified dog turd and it is unfair to expect otherwise.

Yeah true.
Also NEO is getting an impromptu redemption.
Which sucks.


OTOH villain redemption is totally in the toriko tradition. Gotta have more mouths at the feast table.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
Well, either the manga will end in a chapter or two. If it keeps going - it really feels like the author was told to wrap it up a year ago - (since Toriko is always near the bottom of the rankings) maybe they decided to let it keep going, like Bleach.

I agree it's much, much better than Bleach but it is also always like third from the bottom like Bleach

Malnutrition is scarier than any beastie.
Do you think the series will end at chapter 400? Seven chapters to tie everything up. Toriko still has to get married, you know.

I dunno, neo may have been hungry like everything else but he was still a total creeplord who liked to terrify things before eating them

Toriko can forgive him but he's still #1creeplord in my book

Well I mean that is called Pursuit Hunting/Predation. You chase an animal and keep it tired and frightened and then when it can't run any more, you kill it.

It's a legitimate hunting tactic. I guess the take away is that Neo didn't "Have" to pursuit hunt, but it was his way of getting the flavor most suited to him.

He didn't just pursuit hunt, though. He also deliberately went out of his way to terrify and occasionally torture his prey to make them tastier.

What we learned today:
1. Of the eight kings, only Mother Snake and the Battle Wolf actually died, so Quinn and Terry get to take their places. Better luck next time, Kiss!

2. Komatsu's nose job is worse than ever

3. Zonge Sama is...!?

Good rear end conclusion I believe myself. Zonge is the true hero after all. Also Midora pulling a Raoh and using his life force to restore the destroyed Earth.
