You know, I've never read something before that made me stop partway into it and think "wow, this is gay as hell", but here I am. This is in no way a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure there's gay porn that manages to be less homoerotic than this manga is being right now. I mean, this chapter literally features what looks like a man breaking another man in half with the force of his pelvis. Again, this isn't a negative or anything but this is so amazingly homoerotic that King AssFuck of the Gay Sex Mountain is all "whoa man, could you dial it back a bit please"

As soon as this fight finishes, all the imagination stuff will get thrown to the side like every other powerup, to be used in passing as "these monsters can use Not that it makes things any more interesting right now, but I doubt we'll see any other fights focusing on imagination battles as much as this one is right now. It was just introduced, so it'll be super important for a fight or two and then things will probably focus on another powerup for a while.

Kung Food posted:It was revealed that the fork and knife stuff are physical manifestations of his appetite, just like the PacMan that killed the four beast. So he is summoning actual utensils made out of Eatanium. Oh my god he summons forks and knives out of EAT FOOD he literally summoned a full set of armor made out of forks because he was so goddamn hungry Every fight Toriko has been in has been nothing but a battle of wills. Toriko fights by trying to dominate his opponents and force them to submit to his raw hunger.

Liar posted:Essentially the series becomes Naruto, and everyone was a goddamn log all along. I don't get these complaints. The whole imagery thing really is just an extension of what's been happening literally since the manga began. This is from chapter 2:   The idea of The whole thing basically comes down to a match of dominance, the manly man that manages to dominate and simply has a greater will to win than the other manly muscle man will win the fight. Like we saw a chapter or two ago, the manly muscle man with the weaker will to dominate will simply have his images of winning (his domination) crushed by his opponent. I'd be glad if the manga made more separation between what is an image and what's real, but honestly it hasn't mattered yet and I don't think it will in the future. If you see something, just assume that's what's actually happening until it's proven wrong.

Seebach posted:It is literally down to who can imagine better than the next person. Did you actually read the rest of my post where I basically came to the same conclusion? We both understand what's happening. You're just coming at it with negativity as "these fights are the equivalent of little kids pretending they're superheroes" and I'm coming at it as "yes and whoever really wants to imagine they're really superman hard enough can actually turn into superman and it loving owns". It feels like we're just talking past each other here. Wrist Watch fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Jun 28, 2013 |

I seriously cannot stop laughing at how in the manga about cooking, an old dude whose specialty is hitting things' pressure points apparently just hit the pressure point of the entire planet and stopped its rotation for a moment. I have to say that again because holy poo poo he knocked a planet unconscious

Deliciouscesium posted:Ah Toriko. If Jirou can knock the planet, considering he traveled through Gourmet World, then what the hell lives in Gourmet World? I know the story gave us a few samples, but what the hell is in there that evolved Jirou to grant him that much power? You know, in the midst of the chapter containing an old dude stunning a dude by

Out of all the crazy stuff thrown around in the rush to the end nothing will ever beat Gourmet Luck for me. Like, even in this universe where people are attacking each other with their appetites, the fact that loving Luck ends up being weaponized is so loving amazing. At first it was just a thing that let Food Jesus Komatsu get access to ingredients but it literally turned into a tangible effect that could be utilized at will. And in order to use it, like every other attack, it was dependant on your appetite being compatible with it and able to take advantage of it. Characters were being so fuckng hungry that they ate the concept of luck itself and started using it offensively. And like any other attack, Luck was a thing you could use too frequently and run out of. Characters were literally willing the universe to bend in their favor and that somehow was one of the least important powers.
