Gyges posted:When is Komatsu getting some gourmet cells anyway? Not that he needs to become a muscle man or physically competent, but he does kind of need to become some level of superhuman in order to set foot in the gourmet world. Even if Toriko is right there and will never quit him. Hell, once they move onto the gourmet world there's not reason he can't be a superhuman god by human world standards while still being a big ol' bitch by gourmet world standards. He's gonna have an all weekend training sesh with Setsuno, and come out saying "hey I'm really good at cooking now!!" and suddenly be able to withstand literally any environmental change and also be able to cut the world in twain with his knife.

This is basically going to be the end of Part 1, as well as being a huge escalation of conflict that takes us into the Gourmet World. It's pretty fitting that we're seeing bigger fights that show how the characters have grown so that it's all the more shocking when Coco runs into poison dragons and Zebra has shouting contests with yeti 300 miles in the air (at a place with .01 atmospheres of air pressure)

I really like some of the brutal imagination pages, but I hope it's toned down a lot or even nearly removed in the future. I love the idea of Toriko seeing a big beast and having an image of him being torn to shreds and saying "wow this guy's strong" but using it as the key mechanic of the fight has made the actual fighting boring.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:243: Eh, if anything we now have something close the the upper bounds of the universe defined, and now we're just on our way to the characters being there Yasser Arafatwa posted:The problem here is who is powerful enough to school Setsuno like that and who would have reason to impersonate Frohze? It just makes more sense that it's actually her. Maybe if it was someone Toriko was fighting, or any of the four emperors for that matter, I could see that being the case, but I don't really see who else it could be at this point or how it'd fit into the narrative. Yeah the two things we know about the character are that they know the personality-changing cut and they're evil-Frohze. It's safe to assume that either there's some strangeness here or someone just used that technique on them until we get a twist

I can't even imagine the power creep we are going to see as the series goes on, I mean, as far as I can tell Jiro just slowed movement by like 99% for everything on earth! I mean, holy loving poo poo. What the hell kind of things can Frohze do? What the hell will Toriko be doing by the later arcs?

Nah it's definitely gonna be that he's just the manifestation of a pure, innocent heart. That's still really anime and it makes all these big grody musclemen being all over him that much more... something.

Fabricated posted:Basically you can probably pick who who lives and who doesn't by figuring out which of the badguys suits Toriko and crew as opponents. I mean I know we already know he wins (unless there's a twist??) but Midori looks exactly like Starjun with a dumb beard so I can only assume that they're related.

Liar posted:It probably also doesn't help that it takes the national guard to defeat the average garden tomato. Eating's tough when your average bag of Cheetos could potentially rip your loving head off. It's probably more that the guys who can actually capture a mammoth the size of a ountain are the same guys who are likely to actually eat a mammoth the size of a mountain in one sitting.

Terror Sweat posted:Well a bunch of bishoukai switched sides and left, and 3 of the 4 heavenly kings were just dicking around for a year, so there probably werent too many people gathering these dangerous ingredients that did survive. This is probably it. As far as we can tell the vast majority of people are just normal real world people, so the combination of lots of bishokukai leaving, parts of the world getting randomly nuked, and the fact that even the most basic ingredients are giant murderous hellbeasts means that they just don't have any way to get and distributes food to the billions of people in the torikoverse.

Plutonis posted:A few chapters ago that was raised as a real theory though. The Gourmet World is a weird-rear end landmass that got attached to real Earth somehow. It would make entirely too much sense too. The Toriko world is just our continents pasted onto part of a planet that's like 10x the size, and the rest of the planet is where all the good food is, and the human world has some stuff that's probably adapted from that. It fits in completely in tone and reason with the story that the Torikoverse is one where Earth smashed into Gourmet Planet or whatever.

Rynder posted:Reading this alternating with the tough slog / sunk cost obligation that is Naruto/Bleach is so refreshing. I was actually shocked that the chapter didn't end on page 7, comparatively so much happens before I get to the middle of a Toriko chapter than 3 chapters of those other ones. I've noticed that at this point I'm more disappointed week to week if I don't remember to read Naruto first, just because I'll finish the Naruto chapter and say "wow, nothing happened  "

Finally convinced my GF to watch the anime with me a while back, and as we're nearing the end I decided to "finish" a reread by just kinda skimming some bits and then reading the end of the gourmet fest arc. Man, I REALLY forgot how much random exposition came out in the few chapters after, lots of stuff going on that I completely forgot about.

On plot you get some mediocre filler arcs, an annoying reporter lady who was added for no reason, and a terrible terrible ending to the anime where Toriko turns into a troll doll or something The anime intros are SO good bit yeah most everything about it is notably worse
