Whoa.... some spoiler pics for 156 are out, and things are most definitely starting to pick up:
Spoiler:
We see another of the Bishokukai's bases (apparently it's their kitchen, so it's probably the "main" base). We're introduced to another of the group's bosses (from what I can make out, his name is spelled "Naisunee" or something like that), and we also see a recovered Tommyrod. It also looks like they're the ones involved with the kidnapping of famous chefs, because Staajyun mentions a bunch of legendary cooks like Setsuno, Zaus, Yuda, Ramen Master Kurakage, etc. (all of whom seem a lot more badass than Komatsu....).
Speaking of Komatsu, we see him at some restaurant where he's talking to the head chef there, but then suddenly what appears to be either a GT Robo or Nitro makes its appearance in front of the establishment......
Man, this chapter looks so awesome, already! Definitely can't wait for the full version!
