The 4th episode was awesome.
-finally no 1 episode / 1 ingredient
-Coco
-Zonge with Aoki's voice
-Knocking Master Jirou
-no Tina (at least for now)

I had a dream that I witnessed Komatsu getting a hand through his chest…than flower pedals bursted out instead of blood which turned into spiders...than I woke up.
IT'S A SIGN!!!!!!
…...I have no idea what it means though
I think a good way of showing the dangers of the Gourmet World is Toriko's discussion with the president (in which I use my words, but it's basically the same discussion).
President: So you think you're strong enough for the GW, huh Toriko?
Toriko: Yes I would say I am.
President: Well, when it's cold does your breath still chill?
Toriko: Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't it?
President: Oh well that just won't do. Don't go to the GW until your breath doesn't chill in freezing weather.
Toriko: Wouldn't I have to alter my very biochemistry in order to do that.
President: Yes. Yes you would.
@Don:
This whole arc was about Komatsu and his incredible ability…so him "beating" the sphinx was okay and more creative as the "last super mega attack" to finally kill that beast by Zebura or Toriko..
They just made it cry, I doubt they actualy killed it.
And why would you want to kill a beast that harbors an ingredient of such value within its body anyway?
I'm callin it, Salamander Sphinx for Zebra's pet.
Though I do hope there's more then one sphinx.
Simply because you need a population to preserve a species.
About the anime. Episode 4 adapted the chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11. Toei slowed the pace a bit, but it's still too fast.
Some info about ep. 5:
5: "Desperate struggle in the cave! 5-Ren Kugi Punch!"
Preview: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/GPplayer/e/GPplayerJMe.html?anime/toriko/110501toriko&type=flv
Seeing the preview, I believe that it will adapt only 3 chapters. From 12 to 14.
Then chapters 15-18 would be for ep. 6.
So, Puffer Whale arc in 3 episodes =/
Is it just me or does it look like Toriko wants to eat Komatsu in that ending sequence.

So Toriko is gonna be one of those 50 episode anime series?
I doubt it. Toriko is likely going to be a long runner so Toei is just being stupid in how they're handling the pacing of the anime.
Well it would be still better than going on the Bleach road.

Definitely. Why does Tite Kubo write his manga so short anyways?

Kubo is to busy writing his book "Advanced Techniques in Art" detailing how to draw air to be concerned about his manga.

Thats actually perfexctly fitting with Tiorikos believe. He doesn
t kill an animal as long as he doesn`t want to eat it…and thats what happened.
Toriko is an easy series to make entertaining fillers for. It would be interesting to see everyone design their own monster. But that far into the story in such a short amount of time lol
I hope that birdman is the Mihawk of this series, and slurps up all of the cola in an instant and just completely wrecks them, and they have to expend all their energy just to get away alive.
IT'S A SIGN!!!!!!
…...I have no idea what it means though
It's a sign allright, A sign that says "stop taking LSD's before going to sleep at night"….......lol I don't use those, don't do drugs kids =D
The cola can probably give either or both Toriko and Zebra a level-up…probably give one or both of them the ability to patch Komatsu enough to get him medical help.

This message was approved by GEPPETTOSMONSTER
anyways how much will the cola power them up??? enough to fight a still somewhat weakened bird man??? and my guess is it goes on Zeburas full course instead of toriko's, I think it will be a while before another one goes on toriko's
I simply love the illustration of Komatsu actually making food of the beast with a Zebra and a Toriko kitchen-tool in each hand.
Maybe later when the series get more popular they will start making forks and knifes looking like Torikos arms?
Damn. At the rate Toei's doing things, Toriko's going to end up like the One Piece anime when it gets to close to the manga chapters. With padded, dragged-out scenes and mini-filler.
Slow down, Toei!
I hope they start slowing down during the Regal Mammoth/Jewel Meat arc, cuz just blowing through that would just be un-enjoyable for me.
I got to agree with Sam.

I also agree, I think the Jewel Meat arc is when Toriko really started getting good. Before that I was actually pretty ambivalent to it for the most part, I didn't see it as anything great. That arc is when I decided this really was a great Shonen.
Toriko was good from the get go but when it got to the stadium where the battle wolf first appeared when it got really good for me.
There are a lotta other animes that do this sorta thing with just going quickly through the first "short" arcs if the manga did them kinda long. It's to draw people in. I'm pretty sure One Piece did the same thing. I dunno, there're more I just can't think of any offhand…
Toriko got good for me during the Puffer Whale arc when Stajyun came out of the water and stares down Toriko and Coco and they started freaking out. That's when I thought: "Finally, we get a villain in this story".
Also, I haven't seen episode 4 yet, but has Komatsu died yet?
No, the episode ended exactly here

It took me all the way to the Jewel Meat arc to where I really felt like continuing Toriko….by Ice Hell I was in love.

Thanks, looks like this is the first episode that has that "to be continued" feeling.

Here's episode 5's preview. No idea what it's called but it does include "5-Fold Nail Punch" in title.
Looks like Zonge in the episode too.

Same here. Ice Hell was pretty goddamn awesome. So far it has yet to be topped (although I feel confident that Shimabukurou is capable.)
I actually love this series
Zonge should reappear once again… I miss that idiot.
Zonge should get his own filler arc where we see the world through his eyes. As an RPG.
The anime seems to be improving, and I say this as someone who only a read the first chapter of the manga and few of the later ones. Less Tina and it ended on a cliffhanger on the latest episode.
It still really worrying how we haven't seen a single drop of red stuff in the anime thus far.
God help me if this turns out as another Fairy Tail.
At least they let him drink alcohol in the anime this time.
The subs for episode 4 are now up from FUNimation! Fansubs are still in the works (obviously).

Do you know where exactly on there i can get them?
But of coarse, http://hulu.com/toriko or http://beta.funimation.com/toriko. It's hulu though so I don't know if will work with all players.
A shame, they don't stream out of the US. Thanks anyway though.
No problem. I myself haven't watched the episode yet, but SGKK Fansubs is almost done.

FUNimation spells Zonge as "Zongeh" in their subs.
Well that is probably better they spell it more phonetically like that so more non-japanese speakers will get the pun.

I think viz has it written in the manga that way as well
Well that definitely explains it. FUNimation also subs Nail Punch (Kugi Punch) as "Spiked Punch", just like VIZ. Which I really don't get since it shows a nail being shot into something during the technique when it's used.
True but i guess it could be interpreted like pounding in a railroad spike or something close to that as well. Ah well its no biggie.
That is really dumb.
'Kugi' means 'nail' and they even show a damn nail when its being used.
Its not rocket science, Funi.
