BTW, since it was pointed out that the golem was basically like a chimera, I wonder if that means he even has Nitro DNA? If so, then Toriko's display this chapter was a lot more impressive than I thought considering how troublesome those particular creatures can be.....

Naw, he still feels anger, but instead of letting it out in his explosive style, he's just keeping it in mind without messing his combat form. This will definitely come in handy in his inevitable rematches with Tommyrod and Stajun...

From his lackluster character introduction, I never would have guessed that he had enough skill as a chef to form a pair with such a powerful character.

I won't deny that his skills as a chef equaled or even surpassed that of Komatsu, but Ootake's introduction chapter could have just as easily been interpreted as a device to highlight certain aspects of Komatsu's character. I just felt that Take's character exposure just wasn't enough to establish him as a rival character to Komatsu, so this development was a bit unexpected for me. In other news, why does this series have such awesome villains? First, we got Tommyrod and Grinpatch. Now, we have old lady Chiyo. The way I see it, manga-ka has way too much fun coming up with these characters.

^As far as Ootake's rivalry with Komatsu goes, I think Shimabukuro is planning a 3-way between Komatsu and his two old friends (remember, he also mentioned a "Ume-chan" during the chapter where Ootake was introduced). And while I do agree that it's kind odd that Ootake went from a greedy, money-grubbing cook to being the partner of the Bishokukai's master, I still feel that in some ways it's fitting since Komatsu's partnered with the guy who seeks "God".....
Oh, and as far as the other friend "Ume" goes, I'm sorta starting to think that he may belong to that third mystery faction we learned about not too long ago; the one that dark chef Joa was a part of (hell, for all we know, Ume probably IS Joa). And seeing as their target was Acacia's notebook, it's clear that those guys will soon become a huge threat themselves eventually.... Like I keep saying, Chiyo is basically granny Livebearer. |
