Tommyrod is a freakishly deformed human, which doesn't seem that strange when he is standing next to a human with prehensile omnivorous hair. Besides, inhuman strength and stomach capacity are rather generic powers in this setting. Not quite sure what is going on with the centaur, though. Did he graft his torso on to some sort of gourmet world horse, is he an actual centaur, or did his lower body really change that much from gourmet cells?

He had bugs living inside him. So, they were probably eating each other and making GBS threads in his stomach. Tommyrod had some really, really weird gourmet cells.

It was always pretty drat homoerotic. The only difference is that the subtext has become text.

Well, Toriko did find the bee jailer attractive. Of course, she had the super power of being able to literally force anyone except Zebra to find her attractive which implies that nothing less would ever make Toriko interested in a woman but that sort of counts, right?

Komatsu's character arc hasn't involved gaining power at all. He is just as physically weak now as he was in the first chapter. His weakness has even been shown as a virtue at times. Komatsu isn't part of the muscle freak power level escalation and he likely never will be.

The best villains in Toriko have all been completely grotesque and bizarre. Starjun is fairly normal looking and has a high body temperature. It wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't being touted as some ultimate villain, but he really doesn't stand out enough to get this much attention.

You have to differentiate between the imagining based on routines and what actually happens. Toriko visualized destroying Starjun's knife at the same time that Starjun visualized cutting off Toriko's leg. Starjun was then surprised when he did not in fact cut off Toriko's leg, but Toriko did destroy his knife.

The two outcomes were mutually exclusive. Toriko planned to kick the knife in half, which he would need his leg for. Starjun planned to cut Toriko's leg off, which he would need the knife for. There isn't any way for the two acts to happen simultaneously.

Seebach posted:Something that I keep wanting to analyze, but always forget about, is the sheer bulkiness of the Characters. How do they use furniture? That is an easy one. They only use furniture that is made from high level ingredients, though not necessarily the edible parts of said ingredients. Like a tree with bark harder than diamond, but instead of wood it contains a tight cluster of bloody beating human hearts, which are eaten raw as a delicacy.

What will Toriko be able to do? I'm guessing something along the lines of literally turning into cutlery which eats everything it cuts and never stops cutting. Mark my words, Toriko will destroy the world eventually. Well, that or he will settle down and live a life of quiet domesticity/food adventures with his life partner.

The most amazing part about the big villain being a cannibal is that cannibalism hasn't been shown as being bad, because Sani did it first.

Roland Jones posted:Is it just me, or does Coco look like Acacia? I just noticed it in one of the early pages, where it shows Ichiryuu with the young main characters. Actually thought it was a young Acacia at first and was wondering what the hell was going on before I noticed who the others were. The art style isn't detailed enough that you can tell people apart using facial features only. That isn't normally a problem, since most characters have rather extreme distinguishing features.

In the end, Toriko will devour Komatsu and they will become one at long last. Everyone approves. Some shed tears of happiness because of how beautiful their love is. Really though, I hope they keep ramping up the completely amoral cannibalism stuff. It is so hilariously out of place in a shounen fighting manga.

ANIME AKBAR posted:I think Midora can be smug right now because in the end the Bishokukai captured Komatsu and that's all that matters. The whole battle at the cooking fest was apparently to capture him. Only because he read that cookbook in the gourmet pyramid. Komatsu has absurd food luck and ridiculous potential, but no one is after his skills as a chef.

Cody Banks posted:I thought the Cooking Festival arc was great. It set up an epic course for the future of the story, and managed to turn Midora into an interesting character. The amount of twists and plot-dump might have been a bit much for some, which is understandable. It would have been nice if they had spaced out the flashbacks a bit, though.

Deki posted:I'm a bit surprised Toriko is actually bringing that egg back to the starving masses rather than eating it all himself. They are trying to pretend that Toriko possesses empathy even though he spent a year stuffing his face with the most delicious food imaginable while most humans were living through an unprecedented famine. Actually, this is completely consistent with the christmas story where they feed people one day of the year. Toriko has a very weird moral code which no one else seems to share.

AnonSpore posted:It's the Why Doesn't Reed Richards Cure Cancer conundrum applied to food. That would imply that RR could cure cancer if he Got Paid. Toriko hunts for ingredients because he either wants to eat them or because he is being paid to do so. Ergo, if someone paid him enough he could obtain some absurdly oversized ingredients. He actually did gather large quantities of food when he got the stuff for the disgusting ehou maki that a sweaty hairy man spent days rubbing his body over. Toriko isn't a saint, and his system of ethics is based on food. Charity or working to end a famine just aren't very high priorities for him, is all.

You can see how important it was to him based on how much he thought about it. Contrast it to the leadup to Toriko asking Komatsu to become his partner. I guess acquiring a beard isn't all that serious a matter for him?

My problem with Toriko's full course is that it has no synergy or encompassing theme. It is just whatever ingredients they come up with at a given point in the manga, but the style and scope of the setting has developed over time.

The real mystery here is how a nitro survived living in such a tiny area for so long. Nitros are probably the biggest eaters around, except for maybe Midora.
