But what's with the hair?


Also should Toriko really be preoccupied when fighting Guiness? Especially after he just landed that mean punch

Oh, hey! You captured Don Slime! Oh, what am I up to? Oh, not much, not much. Just punched one of the Eight Kings in the face.

So time had to be different inside the whale right? Komatsu's hair is to his ankles and Yun is a full grown wall penguin now. That picture of everyone is pretty great though, Don Slime looks awesome with that giant fork on his back.

The way the pacing's been going lately I don't think I could bring myself to be surprised if they jump cut to final boss > series end next chapter. Or any given chapter. It's so weird.

It'll end at 350 I bet. The pacing doesn't make any sense, he's clearly been told to wrap it up.

I mean it's been in the middle for a while but Toriko himself has been in the foreground of the big character covers for years now and that's typically where the really popular series' characters go.

WSJ really tried to push Toriko hard to fill the gap in the lineup as Naruto was wrapping up and Bleach was in decline at the time but it didn't quite stick.

Another was the ingredient Joa said takes like 100,000 years to cook. So yes there's presumably some time dilation going on.

It's been on the final arc for a while. I predict it will end sometime in 2016.

Interesting thing to note. Jirou's name means wolf and he uses an attack called Guiness punch. How much you want to bet he's some kind of descendant from a battle wolf?

There there, little one. Toriko won't get canceled, it'll go out to the weekly manga in the countryside where there ain't no popularity polls, ain't no deadlines. Just adoring readers, far as the eye can see...

Has a month or so actually passed? There was that cooking area field that was being talked about that slowed down time so you could cook the phantasmal foods like Another in a shorter ammount of time, maybe everyone hopped in and started helping?

Also holy poo poo, Yun is huge now, Rin looks like an actual chick, Komatsu has his nose back, Wabutora with the Fumanchu/beard, and Maskless Love.

Also, Don Slime has a crown of silverware.


I'm not too sure that I like Starjyunn apparently being on a much lower rung of power than Toriko at this point

There better be flashbacks.

Man, it would really suck if all of this is just wrapping up and won't get the proper time to finish itself right, but then again this chapter did fill in a little bit of what happened when Toriko went to get Komatsu back which was glossed over at the start of the timeskip...so who knows.

Yeah, this comic's falling apart with astonishing speed and I'd be shocked if there weren't some editor fiat for him to hurry it up and finish. Big reveals like Acacia's Course are getting carpet-bombed within a few pages, characters are blipping in and out of nowhere, we hustled through the main villains' Big Motivation in half a chapter, and now this.

Yeah, it definitely feels like it's wrapping up. I have no clue why, but too much stuff is getting to the endgame way too quickly.

Very sad to see, whatever the reason.

What did they do wrong with the anime anyway? The only difference I noticed is less blood, but people act like its the worst adaptation ever made.

Wasn't that because the anime was cancelled?

It's not like it swerved into an alternate ending for almost the entire run like FMA, its only the last couple episodes.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
The anime was fine until the last twenty or thirty episodes, where it looked as if the budget was halved. Hell, I even liked the filler episodes.

there was an entirely filler character whose job was to be the bystander in fights and admire/explain what's going on.

It was to lower the gay undertones. Luckily they realized their mistake and cut her from the main story. She also stole Yuda's food measuring gimmick.

Toriko's was probably a victim of the expectations thrust upon it as the battle shonen to fill in the spot that was to be left behind by Naruto. Unfortunately, it's probably not as popular as they expected and now they're going to just push it out the door as they continue to look for their next hit and try to continue to glory age of having Naruto, One Piece and Bleach all running at full quality. HxH and Togashi being what it is also doesn't help seeing as it could help shore up sales. Jump just needs to deal with not having such good series right now and let their current series run as necessary.

Yeah they are, but MHA is just past its first year or so and is still figuring some stuff out, and Assassination Classroom is heading into its final arc because it was always going to be exactly one school year in-story and no more.
