Toriko will eat the concept of eating itself and thus be able to dictate what is and is not eating.

really piss me off.

I mean Komatsu's cooking literally satisfied the stomach of a person who had no taste, with poo poo ingredients; then he didn't leave. So does Toriko get a free "pick up Komatsu" pass?

This was an oddly :kimchi: chapter. So can we assume that Midora actually tasted the food? He said that he couldn't really taste flavor or feel satisfied anymore, right? I forgot.

e: Or I can look at the above spoiler :v:

Awesome chapter but one part confuses me: Midora tells Star that he is the only one that accomplished his mission, but Midora doesn't know who Komatsu is. So what exactly was Star's mission? Just bringing a bunch of Chefs back in general?

I think it's the food, and Komatsu reminding Midora of his brother when he asked him to eat with others.

The secret ingredient is love.

Like seriously. I don't think anyone of the Bishokukai actually try to please people. Sure they make good food as chefs for boss Midora, but not with love or care, like Komatsu.

Well that pretty much followed expectations, but it was still awesome.

For a second I thought that when the headquarters started collapsing it was because Midora burped or farted or something. Certainly would have fit

I was almost certain it was that small ammount of drool that produced from the side of his mouth. I was like, "What does it have the weight of gold or something"?

The explanation was that cloned cells deteriorate faster than their natural-borne versions, I believe. That and childbirth took a lot out of it.

Also, Battle Wolves probably have Gourmet Cells or something similar, so there's going to be enormous variance in power level based on diet.

Jesus. That is some serious power creep. I mean, I was expecting the capture levels to go up to 1000 or so. 6090? Holy gently caress.

I guess Toriko's fork is meant to gauge how strong he is now? So up to almost capture level 1000 he can probably take care of, but above that might be a problem.

I'm having a hard time getting used to Komatsu's nose job. Maybe I'm just used to it but I felt the old look had more character.

Also, are we really that surprised about the power creep/leap? Especially after what happened in the last major arc, I've completely thrown up my hands and ready for anything.

Haha I like how the Capture Levels started around 200+ then exponentially jumped up to 6000+ in just a few monsters. Well I guess eventually we'll see the rest of the Eight Kings in action too.

Reminder that the Four Beast at first had a capture level of 310.

Man, Komatsu's plastic surgery job is really a little disconcerting

Edit: jokes aside, the optimism and redirection of attention back to actual food in this chapter was refreshing. I have the suspicion (and hope) that Toriko's attitude in the last few chapters is actually paralleling Shimabukuro's - maybe this new arc will breathe some new life back into the manga.
