Toriko really should've learned the spoon technique from whatshis face, since he could use it to carry stuff.

Also because it means we miss out on a spork or foon attack. :smith:

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


Serious Frolicking posted:

They are trying to pretend that Toriko possesses empathy even though he spent a year stuffing his face with the most delicious food imaginable while most humans were living through an unprecedented famine. Actually, this is completely consistent with the christmas story where they feed people one day of the year.

Toriko has a very weird moral code which no one else seems to share.

Well, Komatsu is going to come back and cook Ichiryuu's Full Course and thereby end world hunger.

And he'll make it delicious just to show up everyone else, possibly with hints he got from 6 months with Midora, Honorary Muscle Harem Member.

(Midora can never properly join Komatsu's muscle harem because he remains forever part of Frohze's)

It's the Why Doesn't Reed Richards Cure Cancer conundrum applied to food.

That would imply that RR could cure cancer if he Got Paid. Toriko hunts for ingredients because he either wants to eat them or because he is being paid to do so. Ergo, if someone paid him enough he could obtain some absurdly oversized ingredients. He actually did gather large quantities of food when he got the stuff for the disgusting ehou maki that a sweaty hairy man spent days rubbing his body over. Toriko isn't a saint, and his system of ethics is based on food. Charity or working to end a famine just aren't very high priorities for him, is all.

I was bored so I re-read part of Toriko from the beginning.

You know the "asurasaurus" thing with the several thousand capture level they showed?

It's on Jirou's course list:



As out of control as the power creep and wackiness gets Toriko sure likes callbacks.

Why are we even assuming that's the shark? That's probably the goddamn lettuce; when eaten it starts to devour creatures from the inside out, stretching it's vines through the eyes and mouth to control it, unless of course you use food honor to subdue it first.

I'm still so surprised by what Human world is apparently going through. Food Pills?

I thought that Ichiryuu had meticulously planned for this, and that the heavenly kings were going to put together his full course so that the world wouldn't starve.

I mean its little information, but just what went on for less than two years.

What are the other Heavenly Kings doing?

and what about the Bishokukai? Did Star just let Toriko walk in, or did Toriko look at him like food and he backed off?

TOO MANY QUESTIONS

I hope Ichiryuu planned for Toriko to take a 2 year break or else it might be too late to make the full course.

He's such a handsome guy.

Also The description of what Meteor Spice did to Human world is pretty horroriffic. So the only place to acquire real food is Gourmet World. And there was a 2 year time skip, so it looks like Human world may not be able to grow or raise ingredients for quite some time.

The last panel looks like it might be them in the background. Middle one has the hair to be Sunny, left one roughly fits Zebra's profile, and the third... Well it lacks any particular details but that doesn't rule out Coco, really.

Whatever the really big twist of Toriko is it's going to be ridiculously over the top, hilarious and probably pretty awesome at the same time.

I mean at this point the gourmet cells are basically like the symbiotes from Spider Man. All those times Toriko has spoken with his goofy battle-demon image weren't just figurative hallucinations of him reasoning with his Id or whatever; he's literally talking to an alien organism that's renting his body.

Isn't the insane twist already that some giant alien from space ate the planet? That's about as over the top as it can get. I mean we still need to learn what God actually is and the place NEO wants to go but yeah.

You can see how important it was to him based on how much he thought about it. Contrast it to the leadup to Toriko asking Komatsu to become his partner. I guess acquiring a beard isn't all that serious a matter for him?
