Refresh my memory. Who was that Chiyo?
Toriko
-
-
Chin's missing partner.
-
I guess I need to reread Toriko from chapter 1, I have no idea who all those characters are.
-
Other than the guy that looks like Toriko, the gargoyle guy reminded me of Toriko's "inner self"

Chiyo I believe was only recently mentioned within the last few chapters.
I'm catching up with the anime again. I'm at episode 51. I was sorta suprised with the voice choice for "Melk." Getting closer to the soda arc yay!
-
If Melk II was never able to hear Melk's voice, how did she learn language
-

…Um...I..Oh...hm..No idea?
Something I didn't think about till this morning. When I watched the last episode they had that Tina show where she had a sake taste test against Mammosa? Mr. Handsome...I think we may be able to see that Booze chain of islands uncut lol. Toriko seems to drink a bit himself with his meals.
-
Watching episode. Komatsu always introduces himself as just "Komatsu." He needs a first name.

I thought about that too. I was like…does Komatsu have a full name? I can understand the Heavenly Kings not having one since they were apparently orphaned and or from the slummiest areas. But Komatsu, unless he's trying to be like Cher, I think needs a full name lol. I had assumed Komatsu was his first name >_>.
Speaking of Komatsu, does anyone else feel horribly embarrassed for him sometimes? I get that he's supposed to be a character that always has his heart on his sleeve and is always sincere...But he's 25 year old man and he takes a slow-mo flying leap at another man (Toriko with his rep ob being so awesome and badass) in tears, screaming his name...In a crowded restaurant. I would never be able to look him in the face if I had to work with him. And it's not like it's the only time that's happened lol.
I'm starting to feel like the creator is trolling someone or made a bet. That he could create a mainstream yaoi comic in Shonen Jump and nobody would say anything lol.
-
They're a combo, don't ya know
I'm afraid Komatsu suffers from Hinata Syndrome, where a significant percentage of his diaologue is PROTAGONIST'S NAME-san!!
Though when Komatsu is particularly embarrassingly weepy it's DORIGO-ZAN

I thought that was Orihime syndrome lol.
Doesn't matter that they are Partners/Combo, whatever. It's really hard to watch those scenes, it wouldn't even make a lick of difference if they were actually lovers… Komatsu at best behaves like he's 8. His voice really bothers me too I realized. Stop screaming at everything!! I sorta wish Komatsu was designed to be taller, at least that may cut down on his constantly leaping at Toriko lol.
Lol dunno why I'm having such a ranty day. Maybe I shouldn't watch 2 hours worth of Toriko in one sitting lol.
-
Yeah, I hope Komatsu becomes a bit more reserved after food honor. He's probably not though
-
Dunno about you guys but I'm enjoying Tina's "Tina-Pan" segments. I personally found them to be quite hilarious so far. Definitely a step up from that creepy Italian chef that Tina keeps fawning over.

We released the volume scanlation of volume 1 I finally finished:

Awesome! Thanks a lot Kewl!
-
Great stuff Kewl.
I did want to see quality scanlations the early Toriko chapters. -

Hinata is female and she loves Naruto so it's more acceptable for her to be doing it because she is like Naruto get in the fking bed and stop running away lol.

@Law:

Well Komatsu is obviously in love with Toriko also
-
This has been bugging me: Komatsu never complained about not wanting to go on a mission in the early chapters, so why does he do it sometimes in more recent ones?
And why is he so unknowledgeable about the world? It's nice that we have an everyman so we can learn things easy, but he's the head chef at a restaurant; unless he was REALLY sheltered as a child (like coming from a rich family that told him to do nothing but study or something), it makes no sense at all.

The best part is that even though it's the most homoerotic manga in Jump, overseas yaoi fangirls tend to ignore it because no one in there's a bishie.
-
Komatsu has known about some things, but he's never an expert. If you keep track of it a bit.
And I still say you guys think WAAAY too far into things. Two males can have a connected relationship without being gay, and it annoys me how everyone acts like you can't. -

Komatsu's been really knowledgeable throughout the series about cooking techniques for various ingredients, and complimentary spices and whatnot.
And he is a cook so that makes sense.And I still say you guys think WAAAY too far into things. Two males can have a connected relationship without being gay, and it annoys me how everyone acts like you can't.
We're just joking around.
In any case TorikoxKomatsu have more going for itself than 99% percent of other manga pairings ever. -

And I still say you guys think WAAAY too far into things. Two males can have a connected relationship without being gay, and it annoys me how everyone acts like you can't.Yeah I'm messing around. It's fine that they are so close and good buddies. I've seen guys be close before and not be homosexual. It happens all the time in manga. Two same sex people so connected, they just get each other and it works in real life too. It's Komatsu who seems so over the top to me. He's extremely overly emotional frequently lol. So his behavior often makes me feel that the writer wanted every single aspect in this to be over the top. Komatsu's screeches of TORIKO-SAN!!! And followed by flinging himself into his arms sometimes in a chapter/episode feel like too much.
I would say I may not have thought about if Komatsu wasn't the same age as Toriko. Cause when I first read this, I thought Komatsu was going to be like a child prodigy so his behavior could be explained that way. Knowing that he's a grown man though…I really just find Komatsu embarrassing and irritating to watch sometimes. If he dialed it back some I may not have mentioned it. He's definitely one of my least favorite characters in this series.
fedcom is right though, at least a Toriko x Komatsu pairing makes more sense than pairings people come up with for characters in fiction. Cause usually those characters people love to pair for yaoi have love interests with a woman and or hate each other lol.
-
Toriko x Komatsu vs Naruto x Sasuke. Let the fight for the most worthy couple begin.
EDIT: I am aware that naruto's love for sasuke is unrequeted…but it makes more sense than Naruto x anyone else at this point in the series
-
Thank you Kewl .
-
There's an incredibly large amount of CocoXToriko yaoi images on pixiv and the like. They're called Toricoco colloquially.
I have to meander through all of that in order to find an image to release the chapter with every week. -
Why is Coco so popular, anyway? It makes no sense how he beat Komatsu in the popularity polls.
-
He's pretty. That's the only reason.
-
He does have an interesting character and backstory, too. He acts cool and dignified without seeming like a jerk. He's also smart, as seen in the Gourmet Tasting arc.
But how could you resist him?
Zawa… zawa... zawa... -
He has a backstory?
-
He has a backstory?
It's the same backstory as Toriko, Sunny, and Zebra: They were taken in by Ichiryuu and trained.
On another note, how come Rin wasn't trained with them? She's got gourmet cells and everything.
-
It'd be nice if we had a reason besides general author sexism.
Oh sure we do: Ichiryuu's closet chauvinism.
-
Coco has a different backstory. He's the "most poisonous man in the world". He was abandoned by society and hunted by people who tried to experiment on his body, remember? It's short but it's given when Coco is first introduced. I think a few more details were given. They'll probably eventually elaborate on it when they get to the backstories.
-

Because he can fight and he is funny unlike Komatsu lol.
-
Though Komatsu has a sometimes annoying and fangasming personality, compared to Coco at least he has a sometimes annoying and fangasming personality.
-
Coco's back story is interesting, a poisonous human? great idea! But Coco is very bland to me in personality. He sorta just sits there looking kinda sad a lot.
-
I think Coco has yet to show his true colors. I'm still hoping for a full backstory on the Heavenly Kings.
Also is anyone having trouble with apiljuice.com or is my computer just being stupid again?
-
Here's a reminder, guys:
Toriko: However, there's said to be hundreds or thousands of types of poison in the natural world.
It's honestly impossible to make "antibodies" to combat them all…
I've got about 70 types, but...
Toriko: The number of "antibodies" Coco has is roughly 500...!!
That's outstanding even among Bishokuya!!
Komatsu: Fi...
500...
Coco: It just so happens that my body
can tolerate more poison than a normal human can...
But because I put many poisons inside my body in too short a time, they mixed inside my body...
creating new poisons inside me...
So now I'm a "Poison Man"...
Huhu... It's an quite an unrefined existence.
So there aren't many beasts in the natural world that attack me...
Even cockroaches....
Toriko: Many scientists and IGO medical teams and such
have chased after Coco to try and refine new antitoxins from his blood...
Komatsu: ......Eh?
Toriko: There are even some who've tried to have Coco himself isolated as a top class "dangerous creature"...
Toriko: He has a lot of bad memories.
Him leaving his work as a Bishokuya probably also has to do with escaping ties to those...He also can see different kinds of electromagnetic waves outside of visible light. He did appear a few other times, fighting against Gido and in a couple short one-offs. Anyhow I think he's a really interesting character that I hope gets fleshed out more.
-
And he is the only one of the four that has an ability besides the heightened sense, isn't he? (the poison)
-

Doesn't Hair thingy sensors and so powerful it's stupid voice count as an ability?
I'd argue thatg the only one without a unique ability is Toriko, althopugh that depends on your interpretation af ability…
-
Well, Toriko can protect himself with imaginary (?) forks, that's pretty interesting.
-
Fair enough, although I would argue that while Toriko has an interesting ability, it can be used by many of the elders in the series, while we have yet to meet someone with the same abilities as the other kings.
-
But Sunny's hair is part of his heightened sense.
Toriko: smell
Sunny: touch
Coco: sight
Zebra: hearingBut you're right, despite being sound-based, Zebra's voice is more than just him using his sense.
-
I still would like a full explanation on Sunny's Hair lol. Is that the Gourmet cells going wonky kinda like with how the enemies mutated a bit? Or was it something he could already do?
I'm sorta wondering if Komatsu would be the first Chef to be partner with more than one person. Since I would guess he's got the Taste Sense. Or there's a 5th person they haven't mentioned yet.

Could be, but I always assumed all four of them had the taste sense, since they're all bishokuya.
-

True. But I would have figured that there would be one person who had the taste as their most notable sense…but I don't know how'd you weaponize that lol. I keep picturing someone that fights like a Lickitongue :blink:.
-
Komatsu has superior food luck.
-
Maybe Rin has taste! And they'll write that in later so she aint useless lol.
-
I'm still waiting for Rin to be something besides a creepy obsessed fangirl.
If she had taste, it wouldn't fit her. Her fighting ability deals with smells.
-
! So one of the guys on the bird is Ootake. Showdown between him and Komatsu?
