He had bugs living inside him. So, they were probably eating each other and making GBS threads in his stomach. Tommyrod had some really, really weird gourmet cells.

I doubt it, he is way too loving cocky. Also nobody steals from Komatsu's muscle harem. Nobody.

Komatsu will make a heartfelt plea to them both after this is all over to combo up for the sake of the world or something and they'll do it. They'll really do it for Komatsu

It seems like the human world is going to be left pretty hosed. The IGO is destroyed. It's best chefs have been kidnapped. The most powerful guys who could save them are off fighting level 500 radishes in the Gourmet World. And who even knows what the gently caress the new group of guys are up to... aside from just murdering the poo poo out of everyone.

I now want to see a capture level 500 radish.

I don't see the human world being hosed as much as i see it just being ignored and the story moving into the gourmet world. At a certain point, everyone will be powered up to the point where outside of the occasional rare food, nothing in the human world will matter too much.

I'm expecting Toriko to bust out the food memory that he got from Livebearer on Starjyun, which is the missing memory of the food he is searching for.

Chapter 144 and Chapter 170 for references, though I might just be looking too far into something that isn't actually there

You are. Toriko didn't take any food memories from Livebearer. He was disgusted by the whole notion of it. Coco didn't either, Livebearer just told him what he wanted to know.

But drat I wonder how powerful Jirou really is. We know the Nitros are already very powerful, and now they're supercharged but Jirou just flicks them to death casually.

As powerful as midora and ichiryuu since he's the third acacia disciple. Where his allegiances/motives lie is another question altogether.

Am I the only one who thinks "frohze isn't the real one of legend? I'm guessing someone found knife and is impersonating her. If not, it opens the possibility of Acacia still being alive right? Considering the ridiculousness of people skills "oh hey, lets just knock the entire planet", its not that much of a stretch to think acacia is still alive and kicking at this point.

On another point, i'm curious why all their pets went to jirou and showed up with him.

I've said it before and i'll say it again. I want a fluff chapter dedicated to the plumbing systems of this universe. Yes i realize the answer is probably "gourmet cells consume every bit of nutrients, even stuff normal humans can't use" therefore they don't have any. But still, i want poop jokes.

This really is a short-term plan until they can get the ecosystem back into balance through gourmet-magic. The billion bird seems to only be able to breed through a specific environment and fear. Given how blasted out the rest of the human world is, and that the billion bird has no natural predators to incite fear it should only be able to reproduce as long as humans need it too.

The real mission now is making it tasty enough for people to accept into their diets.

There are 30 billion hungry predators for the newly introduced, and literally, only food source in the entire human world. Also, they literally say " give birth under any conditions in any environment", so don't know exactly where you got that part from.

Pretty sure Center was the necromancing ingredient. On one hand it would be neat if Toriko was actually dead for a while, but on the other hand coming back from the dead is a bullshit mechanic I hope we never see in this manga.

I really liked it last week when he got wrecked by Heracles. It showed just how big of a gap it is between him and basically an animal God, so I'm a little upset that Toriko not only got revived out of nowhere but he got an insane power-up that lets him connect a punch. Shits whack yo'

All heracles has done is snort in torikos general direction, and toriko got enough of a powerup to brush off heracles exhalation and sucker punch the horse. He's nowhere near the strength needed to do anything other than survive long enough for carrerrroo to get back now that komatsu has cooked air.

this is like the gourmet world version of that black technique knife healing stuff, but way way more hardcore. I wonder if they are going to go on a quest to find komatsu's heart before he dies. Also, i'm curious what being will awaken in komatsu, since i doubt chefs get appetite demons.

I like this idea. I've always thought that going against the kings so fast was stupid for the story, as they have no chance against them. Even awakening an inner demon toriko only got one punch in. I'd rather have more adventures in gourmet world battling neo for poo poo than getting clowned by kings in a single page.

So i just realized how they are going to fix komatsu. Or at least i think this will happen. When Toriko grabs the king's junk, he got a brief glimpse into that other space or whatever that Teppei used to take Komatsu's heart. Thats why there was a big heart outside that ring when he grabbed it. I guess eating/smelling/whatever they are going to do with his nuts will give Toriko the ability to cross into that nether space and retrieve Komatsu's heart, rather than having the ingredient regrow it like we've seen before. I'm not sure if that was obvious, but it just hit me the second time i read it.

At this point capture levels might as well go out the window. People can stun the entire planet, single swings of arms destroy satellites from the ground, hearts can be pulled from living bodies into nether worlds.

Granted, levels are for animals not people, but with this power creep, numbers seem to be quickly lacking the ability to describe animals strength in the gourmet world. Were on our 2nd king already, and "unbeatable" blue nitro to come. I just don't see how the current system stays relevant due to the ridiculous power creep
