I kinda wonder if this manga ever traumatizes the kids who try to read it on occasion. This stuff is still meant for tweens/teens and looks it like half the time with the non-nonsensical character designs and wacky food puns/fart humor. Then a fight starts and people get their heads exploded into goo and their flesh blasted from their skeletons by spectral knives.

failedninja posted:Maybe it's because I just came back from reading Bleach but I want at least one moment where Komatsu casually strolls through a herd of superbeasts and all of them bow down to him Lion King style because of how much respect he has for ingredients. Joa will win, go to claim god, get obliterated, Komatsu approaches god and can just casually take it.

The fight was kinda boring because there wasn't really a lot to it; they drat near just stood still and traded blows with no background interaction at all.

This is how you do Shonen power creep and keep things fun for both the grownup manchildren who read this stuff (It's me ) and the literal children it's written for. Please take notice uh; everyone else writing popular battlemanga.

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 like to think of the muscle harem as a really, really long ongoing joke because I get the impression they'll probably set Toriko/Komatsu up with the poor beleaguered perfume girl and Setsuno's apprentice in the end. It seems pretty obvious but the shock when it does happen after an entire series of comedy food battles and homoerotic imagery/tension will be pretty funny.

Toriko really should've learned the spoon technique from whatshis face, since he could use it to carry stuff. Also because it means we miss out on a spork or foon attack.

I was bored so I re-read part of Toriko from the beginning. You know the "asurasaurus" thing with the several thousand capture level they showed? It's on Jirou's course list: As out of control as the power creep and wackiness gets Toriko sure likes callbacks.

Whatever the really big twist of Toriko is it's going to be ridiculously over the top, hilarious and probably pretty awesome at the same time. I mean at this point the gourmet cells are basically like the symbiotes from Spider Man. All those times Toriko has spoken with his goofy battle-demon image weren't just figurative hallucinations of him reasoning with his Id or whatever; he's literally talking to an alien organism that's renting his body.

What he should've done is play the Rin marriage totally straight and had it be appropriately sappy with Toriko giving it more than 2 seconds of thought and no one being confused about it. Then when some fan inevitably asks him about the hundreds of pages of homoerotic tension and dong imagery he could be like " Huh? Toriko is like the exemplar of manliness, of course he's straight!"

"not enough food" in Torikoverse is probably "I can only find 200 pounds of the latest produce at the market!"

So basically this is a stopgap before they go into the gourmet world and...presumably do ~something~ that'll revive the human world?? Kinda fuzzy on the details there. Like, I thought god was supposed to just be the best ingredient ever? Maybe god is part of the planet and Komatsu will end up preparing the planet as an ingredient to revive it?

I decided to re-read a few parts of Toriko just now and I think I found a bit that basically encapsulates the feeling of the series. Toriko.jpg

Also if there's anything to be disappointed at in this chapter is that we didn't see a reaction to the infinite nail punch. I mean, come on, the throw-away scum beast thing from waaay back in the food honor arc got an awesome multipage spread of it receiving the 50+ nail punch.

Jirou literally stunned everyone on the planet momentarily, which is more impressive than disintegrating some Gourmet World level mooks and one semi-notable dude in a second.

Teppei will get away or somehow win temporarily because there's that whole gigantic uber-ingredient right there. You have to figure out what to do with it. The Nitro would probably care about it, and Neo/etc certainly do. What are they gonna do, leave it there? Eat it all? Toriko wants to share it with the world. So naturally, the bad guys need to get away with it or at least part of it.

Roland Jones posted:I recently realized that, despite Zebra being the biggest badass and all that (both in terms of power, at least before Toriko's recent upgrades, and in actual size relative to the other guys), his power set is the least active. He usually just stands there and echolocates/screams at things while everyone else is doing crazy athletic things and running around and stuff. Zebra is basically the mage of the group.
