The power creep is only half of it really. The dimension, scale, and exaggeration of numbers gets hilariously huge very quickly. Not just how much they eat, but the "stats" like size and weight follow no realism and is fun to think about.

Hell, we're all given an indicator of this whacky scale in the very first chapter. At the very start alone, Toriko is apparently almost 500 pounds (210-215 kg) and takes 30+ pound (15 kg) poops.

Easily the meteor garlic arc.

I just re-read this arc with the Gourmet Casino and their crazy card game. Man, that was a simpler, more innocent time :allears:

While I would love to see Bambina take a poo poo on Kaka for harshing on his dance, I bet Bambina gets dunked. But his balls literally dropped and he's just so happy :unsmith:

Maybe he still references raw capture level, in that it's not necessarily representing raw strength, but rather overall difficulty in subduing it. See also: puffer whales
