This isn't exactly the first time this series rushed its story (it's something I've already ranted about a few times in the past), but I still think it's a bit soon to say that it's on the chopping block just because of a bad ranking or two. Maybe if it were consistently low for the following several weeks I'd find that to be a warning sign, but for now.... eh.


Anyways, latest chapter focuses on Asarudy's past, and he fuses with Don Slime. Interestingly, we also get closure with Chin and Chiyo's child (perhaps this means Chiyo won't want to revive him with Center anymore?). Anyways, I'd like to say this is the end of the flashback, but I said that about the last chapter too, so maybe there could still be something else to tie up before returning focus to the present, who knows.



And on another note..... looks like the most recently released volume revealed Horse King Heracles' capture level to be 6200. That actually puts her a bit ahead of Bambina, interestingly enough. Wonder when we'll get the levels of the rest of the kings....?

^isnt this normal?

the story-teller described bambina as "slightly below horse king" or so :/
PS: i would like to know the capture lvl of the snake king, he should be really big

PSS: does anyone else want to see a beast with capture lvl of above 9000? and than someone yelling the famous line?

Well, for anyone who cares, the flashback is finally over, and only one week remains until the gourmet eclipse. Though at the moment the planet is already in danger from Neo and the Acacia tumors....!!!


...Still kinda hoping that we get a glimpse of the other teams gathering the full course, though (particularly the Sunny/Livebearer team, heh ).

I laughed when Toriko lampshaded the long flashback.

well, kamtsu shows again how OP he is XD
and now we see the fight of the two strongest beings in existence lets hope to actually have a scene with the four kings gathering their ingedients too, this would be awesome

i posted this in a different forum but i think komatsu has 2 demons too, afterall he sees this "woman" and he also has his own "hollow"-komatsu which showed up in the soul world

PS: it is revealed that a being can only have at most 2 demons but they need to be of the same "version"/"species", with toriko is fits and the two spirits of komatsu also fit good

There was previously a mistranslation that caused hilarious outrage among the readers. I don't care if I have to wait till Monday, at least Kewl provides good quality translation unlike Ms.

I personally think Toriko rating been dropping a bit ever since the time skip. Before it is all about the fun of eating and capturing ingredient but ever since the time skip it changed

So.... if anyone's been keeping up, we have what's basically a 3-way between the Toriko/Star duo, the wolf king, and one of Acacia's tumor mutants! Also, a single stomp of the wolf king's paw was enough to cause a crazy-powerful shockwave, lol.

Chapter's out! I always wondered how the gourmet cell demons, one of the first life forms on the planet and presumably on par with the 8 Kings died. Looks like NEO killed them all.

I think at this point, the Wolf King is my favorite of the 8 Kings now.

One particular thing I found interesting about this chapter.... apparently, the last attack the wolf king made the effort of dodging was one from Jirou (who, in a sense, is another "wolf" if you remember the pun behind his name). Nice little detail, there.

Next chapter's out.... and not so surprisingly, most of the legendary full course has already been gathered (still a little sad that the Sunny/Livebearer adventure was skipped....). Anyways, 3 of the four heavenly kings are gathered, and all of the major players present are about to learn the origin of Acacia's demon....!!!

The story is moving at an alarming pace, to the point where I believe the author just wants to finish this manga as soon as possible...still, it's pretty good, so might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

The author don't care anymore since it's popularity drop the moment they enter the gourmet world and leave out some much needed backstory.

That's right, sales are at its worst, barely made it to 1 million last year.

Regardless, it is still an enjoyable ride.

i actually think this fast pace is pretty fitting for the story, i mean at least it gives the vibe of a big disaster coming closer to them,

instead of endless chapters where the story is stretched we have compact ones where people are doing their best to be as fast as possible and this shows itself in the pacing,
but to be honest, the whole fight of everyon else was left out and briefly explained, this was sad

PS: at least zebras "thank you" was cool, the "dark version of the shining hero" can also be polite and not look like a looser
