No, it starts off shaky but a real translation group picked it up eventually.

"Everything" being "encased" in "meaningless quotation marks" is Shimabukuro himself, though if you keep reading for long enough you'll probably start to just gloss over them.

I mean it more in the sense of having no IGO to control the flow of foods, to regulate over-hunting, or to pop in should some city destroying pumpkin comes rolling along.

But yeah, obviously the story will leave the Human World behind eventually here and the concerns of one hundred billion people dying horribly will be in the past.

It's okay, in the world of Toriko, that's the population of a small town. It's simply a statistic.

I am still amazed that this world produces the food necessary to feed millions, if not billions of people with caloric needs that are through the roof.

I get that Chiyo is an outlier but still.

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.

Nah, this is par for the course for a fight like this. If this fight was done in an anime there would have been a bunch of posing and threatening gestures thrown in for good measure.

I was about to say this chapter of ~~Toriko~~ Claymore was pretty good, until I realized that it's preceding exactly the same way the fight in the Regal Mammoth arc did. Toriko gets owned at first, gets a little boost from monster mash, gets a couple hits in but then owned again, then gets more help and executes the graveyard smash, etc.

This is literally the setup of every single battle manga in existence.

I dont even understand how powerful people are supposed to be anymore. Just like an arc or two ago it took Toriko everything to do like a double 36 nail punch and now hes making suits of god drat armor out of hungry and literal knife laser beams made of hungry and like 70x nail punch over and over.

Pretty soon Toriko is gonna eat the whole world and we'll be like "that makes sense".

Toriko will master imagery so much that he'll be able to literally imagine food into existence and eat it.

I dunno, Midora might not actually be the final boss. Ichiryuu's comment about the small amount of good left in him seems like foreshadowing to me. Meanwhile Joa has no such good implied.

Yeah, God would be a curse if it was so good that nothing you ever ate could compare to it. It'd be like one of those monkey's paw stories.

Maybe it's a taste that lets you fully appreciate the taste in everything else, like some super version of food honor?

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.

It's the Why Doesn't Reed Richards Cure Cancer conundrum applied to food.

Toriko kind of fascinates me from a cultural studies perspective. The homoerotic and homoromantic themes are so in your face that I have a hard time believing that any of it is unintentional - but since I'm not Japanese I dont have the cultural context required to understand it. It's a blatantly gay series running in a mainstream magazine marketed towards young boys within a cultural context that, until now, I understood to be less than accepting of homosexuals. I constantly feel like I'm missing some vital part of the puzzle.

It's not gay when it's manly.

I got the feeling it was just mediocre, kind of like how they would react to a real-world chicken.

Also the true answer was clearly give that motherfucker a hug

Yeah, in the real world eating fried chicken does not make you shed tears of pure joy and also if you have a specific genetic condition actually grow swole-er, so I think it's understandable that people in the Toriko universe would be sort of ho hum about it.

Eh it's probably an attack and not a recipe. It's hard to imagine anyone not being grossed out by it, even in a universe where people fart on apples to make them delicious.

This is the world where a hairy sweaty man will literally wrestle with a roll of makizushi for many minutes and then dump it on the ground and it's delicious.

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.

The air inside the cabin is actually "honey air," packed with "self-renewing" "caloric particles" that can sustain a nitro almost indefinitely.

I'd read a manga about Livebearer and Mozgus from Berserk hanging out making crazy faces as they live a normal life.

The neighbors whisper fearfully to themselves as Mozgus slams his face into the floor and Livebearerer talks about enjoying foods nobody else can see (this is what passes for normal life for them). Unfortunately due to Mozgus's connections in the Church and Livebearer's in the criminal underground, whenever they call the cops, the proper authorities make only the most cursory of inspections before leaving because everything seems to be in order.
