And so Toriko and company set sail on their epic journey through the Grand Line.

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

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

I guess I could have gone with "gullet".

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

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.

Nice.

I like that your guess last week was pretty much correct, just wrong about what precious object got stolen from the party.

And now Toriko has motherfuckin' Subspace, more commonly known for its embiggening mushrooms and plant coins.

Within each of the Monkey King's perfectly symmetrical nostrils, among the hair and mucus, all in themselves high quality ingredients from years of the Monkey King smelling all sorts of good food, is a perfectly round, glistening 'Jewel Booger'.

To capture their perfect savoriness, both Jewel Boogers must be picked from the nose at exactly the same time, using a complicated set of movements. There can be no errors.

It must then be prepared by a chef who possesses no heart, a chef who is perfectly objective in his judgement, neither favoring nor neglecting the perpetration of either Jewel Booger, which melt together to form a soup broth like no other.

Toriko is the only manga where I can type up poo poo like that and walk away even hungrier.

Yeah, seriously. Last chapter's ending was such an insane, cheap rear end pull of tension that it honestly feels like a jumping the shark moment. Like it's cool Bambina is such a goofy dude that's cool in its own context, but they really could have done without the EVERYBODY DIED INFINITE DESPAIR AAAAACCCEEEEEE moment if it was going to be dropped the very next chapter.

It's almost if the manga was playing a game with us.

I wonder if evolved gourmet cells are still viable for a time, since Sunny made a point of retrieving Toriko's arm earlier.

It'd be a lot more pressing about his arm except we saw him regrow most of his head and brain back with no real lasting repercussions other than making him really loving hungry.

Also, is Nitro-bro male or female? It doesn't really matter but I thought a translation said she was a girl-Nitro. (Asking for a friend)

Close. Tommyrod would then vomit up bugs also made of hair, and THEN it is officially The Best Thing.
