So what is cooler? An attack that scars your GENES THEMSELVES or the fact that Setsuno regenerated from that? Good on them to show the absurd powers of the NEO guys, want to see how the split 3-way war will work out. Also... Does anyone knows what the Taster Bishokukai woman has done? Her power is absorbing attacks, fermenting and returning them back, i guess?

As the Sommelier (Wine Stewardess) of Death, it would seem that is exactly what Limon does. Horrorifically, I wouldn't want to see her absorb an attack of Sani's or Zebra's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommelier

Also, Setsu's absolute power even after losing 10 million kilocalories is nothing short of god-like. The fact that they took Chiyo out so easily is a ruler that measures the distance between both of them. Her insanity a few arcs earlier doesn't seem much comparable to now.

I'm partial to the fact that she shrugged off a 10 million Calorie energy drain when Toriko's max was only 3 million or so.

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.

I think any of us would guess she's not going to die from the attack. At best she just needs to slink away from the battle to replace one of her kidneys real quick or something. On the other hand it might be cool if she did die since we know she's insanely powerful, so it'd demonstrate that there's some real power to this new group.

Rampant speculation but going to spoiler none the less I guess this means that at some point all of Acacia's disciples will get back together and fight against Joa and his faction.

I like this. Although it will probably require Joa to be some kinda super monster, stronger than Acacia's disciples by themselves alone. So maybe he was Acacia's long time rival but obtained long life through nefarious means? He had no problem breaking rules on the cooking contests he will have no problem sacrificing a few billion babies to live another 100 years.

So is Joa the guy who cut up and ate Teppei, and then stiched him up? Teppei's eye scars were changed after meeting with "him", but it remains to be seen if that "him" is actually Joa, but I am pretty sure this is the connection they are attempting to make in this chapter, isn't it?

If this is true, Joa's true identity may infact also be the 4th National Treasure, Mohyan Shaishai, as I interpreted that his dissapearance was a sign that he was the mastermind behind the four beasts resurrection, and thus the puppet master that Teppei followed.

That would be a very odd roundabout, or it could be that Shaishai is a member of Neo as well, or that he and Joa could be related in some way. Good catch for tin foil hats.

This means we have to go back and look at every character's eye scars now.

I found the reason this chapter was so amazingly homoerotic. Mitsutoshi found out about the 100 page chapter of One punch man and realized he had to do something to counter the power of Murata and his chapter full of naked/near naked muscled (fish)men duking it out

So I just finished catching up on this. For so long I didn't understand how people were so pumped about a manga about eating food. Now I understand because holy gently caress. Do kind of wish the manga was about Zebra and his mentor Granny Setsu though.

I did accidentally click on this thread and read that Tommyrod was eaten before I got there. So at least that was a surprise because I kept trying to figure out how the gently caress Zebra was going to jump in on that fight. I mean seriously, Sunny is the first one of them to openly jump on the cannibalism train? I also feel bad every time Rin shows up. How is it that no one's had the heart to tell her that Toriko is, like, super gay?

I listen to a manga review podcast, and a few months back, they joked about how Rin and other female characters in Toriko are there just to convince people that Toriko and Komatsu aren't gay. Although after this chapter, I don't think you could argue otherwise.

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?

In such a short time Toriko has become my favorite manga, and I think you can understand why now.

She'll do some Gourmet World training with Melk I and return tan, swole-as-gently caress, and covered in scars and Komatsu will swoon.
