I don't even know what to say. This is an entirely new dimension of insane power levels. Ichiryuu can stop your lungs and brain from working simply by looking at you. :wtc:

I love it. He takes advantage of the whole "make everything not behave as expected" ability by deliberately punching himself in the chest, so his act of trying to kill himself is now powering him up instead. It makes perfect sense. Sort of.

Eight Beast Kings that rule over the Gourmet World? Eight dishes in a Full Course. Maybe the Beast Kings are the actual ingredients in Acacia's Full Course?

Are we not going to talk about Train Shark? Because he's amazing. Love that Toriko.

I wish he hadn't said the monkey king "eclipses" the Horse King tho. On par with or exceeds maybe, but the Horse along blasted half of Toriko off, how in the world are they supposed to touch something that much stronger?


They all ate AIR and mastered a part of their food demons after dealing with Heracles, so that may be enough to go up against the next king.

PAIR is apparently a talking soup so I'm not sure where to start with speculation. v:v:v

I saw this before. It's like Toriko meets Iron Chef meets Avatar: The Last Airbender, in video game form.

My guess is that Bambina's nuts are the original PAIR, and new PAIRs grow on the Birth Cry Tree because Bambina nourishes the tree by using it as his personal urinal.

Toriko just keeps getting weirder and weirder and it's all the better for it.

That four-man punch is gross as hell.

...he said while reading the comic about violently plucking and eating fresh, fragrant monkey testicles.

Basically I'm only reading this and One Piece and I'm satisfied with that.

Then what's the deal with the giant tree?

I'm guessing it's like AIR, where there are many Pairs like it but only a properly matured and prepared fruit can truly be called PAIR.

The fruit on the tree is also PAIR. They're just immature, unprepared fruits.

Also, I just learned that "kintamandrill" was translated as "ballboon" which is genius.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to learn whether the true rear end in a top hat is Acacia or Neo, or if both of them were just a little selfish and were the perfect combo for each other.

So wait, was God inside an apple this entire time? I must have missed something.

No, that was the apple in Chichi's house from the beginning of the Gourmet World arc. It was laced with an unknown ingredient that made everyone's demons go nuts.

Some people guessed the ingredient was GOD or CENTER.

PANGAEA :psyduck:. Where's Center though? Or is that technically not on the acacia full course?

Edit; Also Toriko's full course was all over the map, but he really picked a hosed up main dish after all.

It's the hors d'oeuvre of the full course. From what's been stated so far, CENTER is the most important ingredient and brings the other seven together.

But yeah, that PANGAEA reveal is :tviv:. It's Oda-level planning.

I know Toriko has always been a crazy manga, but jeez, latest chapter really went all the way off the rails.

This would be a valid response to the last couple hundred chapters, give or take a few.

You'd think that Neo's hated flavor would be Hope or Determination or Friendship, not anger

If despair is cowering in a corner having lost all hope, anger is the beast lashing out in all directions with pure survival instinct.

It's real unfortunate how the anime turned out. There was some incredible content there and some of the material managed to come out better than the comic did, but there was just a mountain of filler that made tons of it unwatchable

For a second I thought you were talking about the One Piece anime. :v:
