I want a Toriko themed Monster Hunter clone. The escalating power levels, the absurd monsters, everything about this manga would work perfectly for that. You could even have a little chef buddy who comes along and gives you food buffs.

I seriously thought when I started reading it that, that was the idea. The power levels and reference to 'rare items' and all that. Also isn't this Nitro the one who announced her presence by gutting someone and then fighting Zebra? I'm not sure we even need any foreshadowing at all.

The Capture Levels are not strictly power levels. They are suppose to show how difficult it is to: find an ingredient, get to it, obtain it, make sure you don't ruin the flavor during the capture, and prepare it to the maximum culinary extent.

Yeah, but, come on. They're power levels.

The question here isn't "can we save this species" but "is this thing tasty enough to bother bringing back?" The closest I can think of is that guy who kept bringing things back from the dead without proper authorization. Flytrap fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Didn't melk stardust also have a high capture level, but was literally a rock in the ground that was just super tough to get to?

I don't remember if they really defined capture levels as a concept of skill and preparation until later on in the manga, but I was summing my feeling at the very start of reading Toriko. At the beginning it sounds like a really good pitch for a JRPG, and a lot of it feels inspired by that. Unfortunately, I also feel like the manga has kinda lost that element once they moved to the Gourmet world, which rather sucks to notice.

I'd think it would be cool to be able to compare full course menus with players the world over.

Someone linked the kickstarter for a game that sorta captures the idea, just not at Toriko's insane level.

High capture level unless you don't care about the poison then it is less than 1. which is signified by <1.

I saw this before. It's like Toriko meets Iron Chef meets Avatar: The Last Airbender, in video game form.

Having a bit of a reread, during the Midora flashback its brought up that Pair went to meet Acacia, although it could just be a bad translation since its a bunch of blue nitro, but there is a silhouette that could be him?

Well, as we all guessed, "Pair" is the Monkey King's testicles. ...and it is supposed to be a soup dish.

New Chapter Gentlemen, after weeks of waiting we finally find out the shocking truth behind Pair. As hinted at it's actually the fruit off of the Birth Cry Tree, a special fruit that only grows once every millennium. PSYCH!! it's Bambina's testicles, don't know how they get on the tree but everyone seems ready to chow down.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing Bambina in action, at least when he isn't throwing mountains around and getting hit in the face by rocks he himself threw ages ago.

If he were there, even Speedwagon would be afraid. I also loved that Toriko was questioning how exactly a pair of monkey balls would save Komatsu. The whole thing is being treated with just enough of a tongue in cheek to not be TOTALLY absurd. TNG fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Nov 20, 2014 |

My guess is that Bambina's nuts are the original PAIR, and new PAIRs grow on the Birth Cry Tree because Bambina nourishes the tree by using it as his personal urinal. Toriko just keeps getting weirder and weirder and it's all the better for it.
