So the octopus isn't seen by anything under its capture level, but the capture level is only in the upper 200s. So does that mean Most things in gourmet world can see it since most monsters we've seen so far are high leveled? :confused:

That's why they're only using it to establish a base of operations at the entrance to Gourmet World, where the monsters are the weakest

Excuse me, but they entered the octopus's mouth. Octopi do not have a multipurpose eating+poop chute.

This is a good start to a new arc full of adventure and delicious. That "territory marking" thing sounds kind of like a game mechanic and I would play all kinds of poo poo out of a Toriko RPG. Cooking minigames mandatory.
Yeah this is all blatantly the premise for a Toriko videogame.

Now that I think about it, this is probably the least appetizing chapter of toriko ever.

Nah it definitely had a mouth below its eyes, while the thing they entered at the bottom of it was distinctly sphincter-shaped.

Counterpoint: "a-nus" has two syllables, "mouth" only has one.

Okay, that makes more sense. Thanks.

I can see it being a mobile tent on the borders of gourmet world. I was just confused if it was being used as a primary means of travel.

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
As I understood it they are going to use the watermelon octopus as a mobile camp. It would eventually be detected by stronger monsters, yes, but remember the "scent marking". Toriko and co are supposed to emit an aura that deters strong beasts from entering areas they already went through. So presumably the watermelon octopus will be a mobile camp that follows the scent trail, so it will be doubly protected, and therefore appropriate deep in the Gourmet World. As long as it doesn't get ahead of Toriko and Co, it should be fine.

As long as they embark with Tent x 99 they should be fine, they just gotta grind around the gourmet newb areas until they level up a few times

Dodge to the side when you see Toriko raising his arm? Basically just be faster than Toriko's reflexes. Which is also impressive but not impossible yet :v:

You have to pick it one second before it gets destroyed by lava during a 99.95% solar eclipse. Other than that it's a normal tea plant.

e: I'm still in love with the fact that I can come up with whatever crazy thing I feel like and it's still 100% plausible for the Torikoverse.

Oh crap, Quinn. While I doubt they're going to just kill her off like that, holy crap those were huge chunks taken out of her.

Also, frog and a weird demon/god thing that may or may not have been related to/controlled by said frog. Huh.
I know it's always been weird but for some reason it feels like Toriko's really gone off the deep end here.

That's why this is the only manga I really make sure to read anymore.

Sure this has the foundation of a generic Shonen including a huge tournament but;

A: It's legit crazy sometimes
B: The variety of powers keeps things fairly fresh
C: The backstory is fairly well established along with the world itself

and most importantly
D: I really want to eat all the foods.

The Cooking Tourney probably lasted too long but it definitely set the stage for this arc and I'm excited for what's to come.
I think frogman is going to their "antagonist" for a lil but will also teach them about what the hell is going on.

I really want it to be Brunch's hometown so that Komatsu can get all his harem in one octopus. Also want to see Brunch post-timeskip, because I don't think he was in the chef corps spread when everyone left.
