I know its hundreds of chapters away but I think by now everyone knows that Toriko's wedding is going to be catered by Komatsu and everyone is going to be way more interested in the food then the actual wedding ceremony.

Eh. I want to believe thats going to culminate to toriko not understanding what a wedding is - like he'll backtrack and day he thought getting married meant sharing a meal.

Then when it's explained to him we know who he points to. "Oh marriage is a partnership between two people to share, cherish, and put each others trust and lives in one another? Doesn't that mean I'm already married to komatsu?"

No, he'll totally marry Rin and it'll be legit. He's already expressed that he knows what it means, just that when she mentions their new home he'll say "Oh, and lets make the kitchen insanely huge because Komatsu's gonna live with us. What? He's my combo partner, where else would he live? Well, if he marries Melk II I guess he could move in with her, but we'd figure out an arrangement"

The most hilarious part was when Rin asked and Toriko agreed, the other 3 were all "Uh, but what about your combo" and Zebra in particular was "Awesome! Komatsu is up for grabs!"

Is it me or does that kid Yuda saw having trouble drinking the medicine look just like Komatsu's other chef friend? It can't be him since that was like nearly 100 years ago but it looks a lot like him.

What I like most about this chapter is that it wasn't just a fight about using cooking skills to prepare an exotic ingredient. What I liked about Coco when he was first introduced was that he was maybe the only character at the time that was interested in other aspects of cooking than just the food. Things like the tools you use, how you arrange a dish, or even what you serve the food on Yuda preparing an environment to suit his needs is really cool and I want to see more of this again. And with the lineup of characters in the group right now I think that's what's going to happen.

The body's gone, but the spirit remains. Otoh, the country is pretty secretly nefarious as Komatsu is finding out so getting the best chefs and ditching the rest might be part of a larger plan.

I'm kind of disappointed by the way she seems to have replaced Melk II as Komatsu's love interest despite not actually doing anything.

'He cooked something for them' is pretty much what anyone in the toriko-verse requires to love Komatsu.
But yeah at this point Midora and creepy ghost grandpa have the same claim to Komatsu's hand in marriage as Nono.

I'm gonna say it's related to Acacia's gourmet cells. Like it's not Acacia himself but some weird thing vaguely related to his Gourmet Demon.

The only potential foreshadowing so far has been the explanation that Komatsu's heart actually needed to be replaced in order to handle his awakening gourmet cells, but that doesn't necessarily need to make him a good guy it just needs the bad guys to need Komatsu for something. Also he could just be lying right now to get info.

Or maybe Teppei evaluates killing one or two people ahead of, I don't know, a plan to annihilate the entire planet. Or more likely the mind control broke or whatever.

This chapter owned so hard. Just page after page of holy gently caress.

What the gently caress did I just witness.

One moment, Yuda is in a life or death cooking contest for soul world, and then this.

The scope just got so much bigger in terms of poo poo going down.

Also, holy poo poo has Teppei just flat been acting this whole time
