Toriko is basically a pure Epicurean, so this is it.

All of Toriko's dishes are stuff with crazy complex flavors that create loving rainbows and auroras and make you have out-of-body food orgasms.

Yeah, I think that's his theme.
The most rare and unique flavors in the gourmet world. Not just ingredients that are hard to get/capture level impossible, mind you. Just the most eccentric things you can find out there that Toriko personally invested time and emotion into getting.


But BB corn is the perfect Hors d'Oeuvre : It makes people hungrier and the subsequent food tastier.
Real life chefs would kill for something like that.

I can't say I'll miss Minority World.
Jeez was that a bad idea.

Though I just hope this affects the manga none since I enjoy it so much more.
It's pace is amazing. (well except for minority world (goddamn that was groanworthy))



Also I've been rereading Toriko now and I am getting hungry.

Oh crap, Quinn. While I doubt they're going to just kill her off like that, holy crap those were huge chunks taken out of her.

Also, frog and a weird demon/god thing that may or may not have been related to/controlled by said frog. Huh.
I know it's always been weird but for some reason it feels like Toriko's really gone off the deep end here.

The more bizarre Toriko gets the better it is.
I want weird rear end stuff that turns into delicious looking cooking.

And people got bigger chunks off them and survived.

See that's what I thought, but poison man said he could only do two at a time, and if Toriko and Poison Man were both poison men at the time, what was up with undapper frog.

Thinking about it, didn't undapper frog dissolve into fog, making him fog frog. And if this is the case, what was up with the "You did a good job with Dapper frog there, Poison Bro" part near the end.

Dapper frog is off screen, believing so hard (and effortlessly, for a frog just believes) that he made a fog frog.
The mist has real substance to it, seeing as it became actual tasty food. So it wont be too farfetched to think the frog can imagine up a fully blooded substitute.


This is too much thought but damnit the dapper frog is worth at least that.

I don't even know where to begin for this chapter...

It is just so good.

Ume sees something else

I think what he's seeing is All the paths to the planet, but Frohze could see which one was true. Now we two have two power level scales: capture levels and how strong someones food luck is


Though I'm banking on Frohze actually not being on the right path and having to resort to Ume/stealing komatsu. This is probably likely since the villain cast this time is quite big, varied and interesting, and there needs to be a reason to confront the team.

Zebra is yet to get his Animal Companion. But getting super horse god this early would make the rest of the manga easy mode without some serious power boosting.

I think the animal he does end up getting should be useless in battle.

Heracles obliterated him by literally scoffing at his intimidation attempt. I doubt God-Horse even saw it as a fight, he just wanted to make Toriko stop harshing his vibe.

I'm cool with it when it's used for instant intimidation, like another version of 'battle aura' or whatever bullshit animes use to sense power levels. It presents for some damned cool imagery.
