Considering how over-the-top this series is, I'm actually hoping that one of Toriko's final battles in the GW is against a planet-sized monster. Basically, it would be a lot like that first boss battle from the upcoming Asura's Wrath (well, maybe Toriko won't grow extra arms, but there most definitely will be lots of screaming!).

So the translated chap's out. Man, that Komatsu and his food luck! Still, I do kinda like the idea that monsters like Toriko and Sani would pretty much have have been trolled by the death falls if they had tried to capture the fish themselves after all the trouble they went through to reach the cave in the first place.
Oh, and about the poll: Yeah, I think I agree with Sani about how strange it is that the random IGO dude who seldom appears in the series still managed to get a spot in the top 10 (I do like his design and all, but.... eh). It would've preferred to see someone like Jirou or Mansam (or Zonge) take 8th place, but that's just me..... |

My issue with the power aura kill fish thing is that toriko already learned how to cloak his presence/aura in the puffy fish arc when he copied it from coco... so i don't really see why it wouldn't apply here.

Hmmm, that's an interesting point. I can only assume that means the shining fish has more highly-developed senses than most human world creatures, which is why monsters like Toriko or even legends like Setsuno would be unable to catch it, or something.....

Well, when someone of Setsuno caliber who rules even in the Gourmet World cannot catch something in the human world, it's kinda weird no matter how you look at it. I will take this as only the one with the right luck can catch the fish, and skip the "logical" explanation part.

Although I would argue that logically a creature without predators or worry should be even less sensitive to threatening presences than elsewhere. |

^Well, that crocodile was kind of a different story since he was an apex predator (which was pretty much the complete opposite of the fish, technically).....
Anyways, there's a theory I've been meaning to bring up for a while, now: Now that Sani has his new snake partner, that means that three of the four kings have their own animal partner (Toriko with Terry, and Coco with the crow). So..... what about Zebra? He may prefer to be a lone wolf, but if he's going to create his full course in order to obtain Komatsu, then flying solo definitely won't be the best method of gathering ingredients..... And now my main point: Recall that a young Nitro was being held at Honey Prison. Zebra obviously has a profound interest in the creatures since he was rather unwilling to give up the one he and Toriko took down in the Gourmet Pyramid to the IGO. Now what if he decides to return to the prison and somehow manages to recruit one of those cocky creatures as his partner....? |

I'm thinking Zebra's pet could be a bat or something similar given his sound abilities.
The others all have something that have connection to their abilities The wolf: battle lust and strength The snake: long and "thin" + super sensory abilities (the tongue) The crow: Erm, bad omens? |
