I think it's safe to say that Food Imagination is gone with the memory of the anime ending. loving super troll doll...

I'm cool with it when it's used for instant intimidation, like another version of 'battle aura' or whatever bullshit animes use to sense power levels. It presents for some damned cool imagery.
But not an entire 'What if' thing.

Been reading some of the past issues. It was actually mentioned by President Ichiryu in issue 269 when he first saw Toriko as a starving kid that he was born with gourmet cells, and there are more than one monsters inside him. It's kinda awesome that such a huge thing happening now is already foreshadowed in a offhanded way years ago.

New Toriko Chapter!!!

This is getting pretty amazing.

Komatsu is totally going to somehow be able to lift the kitchen knife with some sort of delicate "Food Luck" Strength

And Herac Kick causes Earthquakes.

The knife that Melkite made for him is made out of one of the 8 kings' teeth. He will use that

Yeah Komatsu has probably the best knife in the entire world right now, its only possible competition is Frohze's knife.

The knife crafted for "Air" was probably Melk's best work, but the Fang knife is the 2nd generation's best work so it'll clearly be way better.

The scenes of Komatsu literally cutting air will probably be so astounding the Heracles will pause and let him continue.

Fang knife is better because it's made from a motherfucking dragon's tooth, also included is Komatsu's old knife which he loving cared for, so it's got all of his food luck and appreciation for ingredient in it. I bet in the end to prepare GOD you need a knife that's also been loved by the chef, which Joa will not qualify because she probably treats her knife as a mere tool, just like she treats everybody else.

Well its not much that you see a completely out of left field shonen power-up get completely thrashed.
God Horse god seems stronger than pretty much anything in the manga.


His physics are still completely ridic though.


Im also sad that Komatsu isnt wielding the Melk air knife.

Horse King creates Vacuums. What a horroriffic ability that comes from just inhaling just a bit.

If so inclined, would a full inhale take all the air from the planet?

I imagine then it would look something like this

Some other highlights I liked:


Sunny can move a lot faster using his hair now (I like how that is the least exciting thing).

Coco can make a fully functioning frog-car copy made out of poison, at will.

Melk made a knife that can literally cut the air, but thankfully not the breathable part.

Komatsu is about to outperform the best Nitro chefs by 50 percent.

To be fair, that's because they're impatient fucks (Or don't want to deal with Herac). It'd only be 20% otherwise.

Nah, we knew Horse King Heracles gave birth and needed the fully ripe Air Fruit to do it, and as such hasn't done so since the Nitro learned an impatient way to prepare the fruit before it falls.

I know! Fortunately Komatsu is around to fully release Air's potential, so Horse King Heracles can give birth and we'll still get to see goofy food faces. Possibly even a goofy Horse King food face!

The moment I read that I was reminded of this horse reaction and now i'm hoping for something similar.

It was funnier on the anime version but I couldn't find that.

And I guess All that Gourmet World food that Komatsu ate did have an effect after all.

Im disappointed that the torikomatsu transformation didnt involve his old nose.

Its not juat me right? He did just turn into mini-Toriko.

He then pushed all of that muscle into his head or something to stop the fall. All Dapper Frog did this chapter was look menacing for a frame.

I'm always skeptical about Zebra. For such a supposed badass he doesnt do much of anything besides being the support. Sani and Coco got more fights.

I understand it for the most part. Zebra is really freaking overpowered. His sound abilities are very effective for close range beatdowns but incredibly useful for long-range support and defense.

During the chef fest he spent a majority of the fight protecting and evacuating the entire stadium (which is got to be over a million spectators). Sani and Coco don't have much on the support side which is why they get more battles. I'm sure that Zebra will have his chances out here in the gourmet world where there is much, much less collateral damage to protect against.
