The pacing on the Toriko fight seems off. We have seen a lot of them, but except for the beginning of the fight, neither of them have really done anything.

Yet there is an image of the fight already so they have done everything. :v: They're just following a script now.

Tommyrod wasn't that interesting and he didn't have any particular motivation for fighting the protagonists. He just had the most amazing faces.

If Star had wacky faces then everyone would be jerking off to this arc.



You're probably right.

Though in the end, if Joa is a male he will just fall for Koma like the rest of them.

There are three certainties in the Toriko universe: Death, Eating, and falling for Komatsu. And the first one is occasionally debatable!

Really? The lady that just evaporated a natural disaster and forced setsuno to take damage from an attack can't one-shot Starjyun? I don't get it.

Simple. Starjyun will create an image of "Frohze" doing something completely badass and another image of him barely dodging the attack!

I hope they don't do images again for a long time.

I think he was originally IGO. He's the guy that makes the world's best pots or something like that, and I think he was at that 0th Biotope meeting from awhile ago.

Yeah that's Kuriboh. He was IGO, then allied himself with NEO but seemed to escape from them this last chapter(?). So Kuriboh is either a double agent for IGO or a double-double agent for Bishokukai. Or a double-double-double agent and he's working for himself! :psyboom:

I'm thinking Bishokukai.

For all we know Sunny's next power up could be manifesting one of Tommy's bizarre abilities. Which would also be hilarious as it's about as discordant as possible.

I guess since Toriko is getting married, Komatsu gave up. Poor guy.

But seeing Komatsu and Nono acting like that is like seeing two movie stars absolutely giddy to meet each other. :3:

So the octopus isn't seen by anything under its capture level, but the capture level is only in the upper 200s. So does that mean Most things in gourmet world can see it since most monsters we've seen so far are high leveled? :confused:

That's why they're only using it to establish a base of operations at the entrance to Gourmet World, where the monsters are the weakest

Okay, that makes more sense. Thanks.

I can see it being a mobile tent on the borders of gourmet world. I was just confused if it was being used as a primary means of travel.

I'm really enjoying this arc so far. The fights were fun, but this manga is really all about going on journeys to outrageous places to find crazy food. I will always enjoy the absolutely astronomical numbers portrayed, like the Horse King Heracles' footprint leaving off a huge aura for thousands of years.

... Because it was in a bad mood, and had it been in a good mood that same footprint would have been an oasis. :haw:

It wouldn't have been Toriko's, it would have been the horse's. Would suck pretty bad if Toriko had a worse imagination than a horse.

This was what I thought and was worried about. We knew there was going to be some way Toriko would be back in fighting form. Many thought it was going to be Komatsu making delicious Air. I thought that the horse imagined "This is how easily I can wreck you. Don't piss me off. :horsestare:". Was just glad they took it in a different direction.

e: Or even intimidation like Toriko did on those soy illusionist things in the beginning of the arc. How they were all skewered and being fed to Red Oniriko. They weren't all killed, but they sure thought that they were. Then they cried delicious tears and all was well.

I know! Fortunately Komatsu is around to fully release Air's potential, so Horse King Heracles can give birth and we'll still get to see goofy food faces. Possibly even a goofy Horse King food face!

It was funnier on the anime version but I couldn't find that.
