probably smoked salmon or something like that
or whatever the taste of coal is
I also wonder if Star is going to use his bbq ability for something else than burning down a tent or roasting a seemingly defeated toriko, but maybe he does and we still don't know because Shima still didn't show us jackshit so far, despite him being the antagonists biggest rival/stepping stone
I was never that interested in Star compared to the other bishokukai members, but I'm actually somewhat interested now, since Shima has been teasing us about if forever
There better be one fantastic payoff for all of this
Toriko II: Ichiryuu's Slimy Insides!!
-
-
He's like, 90% hair. I can't imagine he would be easy to force down
This isn't hair, it's squid ink pasta.
-
What a great chapter toriko is the masterchief..starjun is digested.
-
"I was never that interested in Star compared to the other bishokukai members, but I'm actually somewhat interested now, since Shima has been teasing us about if forever"
I agree with Sheep on this. Tho I´d really really like to see how the other fights are going even if it´s just a page or two. It´s been three months since the Branch Chiefs showed up and three of them haven´t moved again yet.
-
I disagree with you two about Starjun. He was, for me, the most anticipated Bishokukai member. Because he got real chances of bringing deepness into the story and he looks like he could move on to the even very last chapter of series.
I like his character because his calmness reminds me off myself to be honest. Look at how he fights… Almost sober and an analyzer. He still seems like testing Toriko. I still can't see Toriko winning this because- He didn't attacked for once
- Doesn't use even his very basic heat moves
- I really believe he does have last moment options like Toriko and Zebra
So Toriko might gain the upper hand by winning the round but I still think Starjun would/will win the battle -There is a chance for Joa's interference or Setsuno's attacks might be so devestating that it would effect them anyhow.
All i can say about the chapter is how much i loved it! I love the chemistry between them! A criticism is possible in my point of view and that is page 4 and page 5 could have been summed up to one page.
Faces Toriko made after getting face to face with Star is spectacular. And on top of that look how Starjun is analyzing and looking closely upon Toriko while he is in that wild state.
I don't have many ideas about what this ultimate routine will be so i'm looking forward to it. It's probably something you can use only when you're fasting but other than that i have got nothing. Anticipating the next chapter.
Although some of you didn't find this chapter very interesting i disagree with you and suggest you to read between lines and focus on art. It might help.For the chapter i've kinda unsatisfied with the translation. I wish kewl were to visit here once again so he can clarify a thing or two. But whatever he does his work.
-
I never said I wasnt anticipating his abilities and actions tho, I was eager to see him and know more of him as well. But I was more interested in other characters, and still am.
That I prefer other characters doesn´t mean I don´t value Star and what he can and will do. And I obviously know that since the beggining he was more important and relevant than most of the other Bishokukai members…
But I run a Cedre blog, need to know more about him asap :C
-
By the way, Staa still has that Mixer punch and apparently everyone here forgot it.
So unless Shima pulls a Rasengan on the character this means pretty much that he still got other techniques that he's about to show.
Also, to everyone complaining about the slow chapter i agree with you but i personnally consider this to be a special case since Toriko's evolution against Staarjun was something Shima was cooking (get it ?) since the Puffer Fish arc, YES there wasn't too much to show aside from the Regal Mammoth and the restaurant bits but there's atleast something here.
The main problem imho was Shima not balancing well between Foreshadowing and teasing, he wanted to show that Staa is a great hype but didn't want to show much at the same time and got somewhat confused which led to either people getting too hyped for nothing (Dragon yay) or just being too indiferent to that guy.So this chapter had to show Toriko's base power compared to the older Toriko in the previous encounters (there's also the new techniques and stuff but eh, that's another story).
Thus Staa testing Toriko and the latter showing more stuff is all preparation for the real climax fight that should be a back and forth with blood baths and testosterone jizz.
Also the outcome will be around the draw, either one of the two wins by a very slight advantage or there's a draw and in both cases there'll be a forced retreat a la Raoh.
-
The Mixer Punch is on of the GT Robo´s attacks. I doubt Star can spin his hand and wrist like the Robo.
-
LET A MAN DREAM !

That would also be pretty boring compared to what Tommy and Grinpatch can pull off.
-

I´ll let you dream but I choose the dream. This week you will only dream with Livebearer
-
I just noticed that Star is wielding a sword, or kitchen knife, whatever
maybe that will be the big reveal once we see him go all out, that he is actually a swordsman? I could see him to the same thing as the Whitebeard commander who set his blade on fire -
Livebearer
I have no important memories for I have spent my life on the Internet, bring it on.
-
Sure, maybe browsing my Livebearer tag will make your dreams interesting.
@Sheep: Yeah, I´ve been waiting to see if he will actually fight with his sword and if it has some sort of special ability.
-
10 bucks that Starjun can overheat the Earth's core.
-
You mean the Sun's core.
-
Starjun's attack will be the Kitchen Aid.
-
Starjun has not used yet the sword/knife/whatever he is always wielding, hasnt he?
-
Starjun can overheat even my core, if you know what i mean, although we live in different dimension :/ Guy is good.
-
There better not be a volcano in the island. Otherwise…
-
Setsuno uses pressure, Buranchi electricity, Wabutora oil. Starjun is a chef and so he uses fire. Well, it's time to.
-
"Time to."?? -intrigued-
-
It's time for Starjun to show us his abilities with cooking/fire!

! 細かい話は端折りましたWow, that's disappointing.
! Looks like no action, just a flashback to Aimaru training Toriko in the "Ultimate Routine" and an explanation of what it is and how it works. Looks like the actual battle between Starjun & Toriko begins next week!
-

Actually, this is very satisfying.
! Someone was asking Shima to flesh out this "Ultimate Routine", and Aimaru is always a plus.

! I agree it adds some much needed depth to the altercation, It will be nice to understand the power that Toriko now wields and where it stems from, but I'm desperate to see it in action and more importantly, how Starjun will counter. I guess I'm just being impatient since I was behind and caught up on 30 chapters in a week, and now i'm down to 1 chapter a week again, lol

Always happens.
Spoilers like this are also Shima's way to answer those who complained that the pacing was going too fast.
-

I'm pretty sure somebody will complain because of this chapter too.

or maybe somebody just didn't understand what exactly people mean when they complain about Toriko's pacing..
-

Same shit of every week, but oh well, you can't have everybody satisfied, less when the scanlations are up to date.
-
i hope there are more to the chapter than just power up explanation. i hope we got to see how the other fights going on with power up explanation back and forth. it is ridiculous if it just power up explanation. Shimabukuro need to stop doing all this super long fake science unimportant power explanation during a fight. just a little bit is okay. if you want super long one, do it outside of a fight. what a great fight need are story and build up, emotion, what at stake, strategy, mind games and awesome choreograph. and not all those super long fake science unimportant power explanation.
-
See? You can and will never have everybody satisfied no matter what you do.
And to the poster above, ever heard about spoiler tags? Thanks for screwing it…
-
Some of us (including me) just likes to read the chapter without getting flustered about what's what. Though from week to week I've been enjoying the complaints from people… I don't know why... but...
If its naruto or bleach or op that people are complaining about, I get it because they're story-driven... but toriko? hecK even I admit there's no story in toriko. Maybe that's why I find it so amusing really. It's like you guys are complaining about something that's not even there in the 1st place...
My logic is flawed, so don't get angry at me. Carry on if you like to, always voice out your opinions.
That's what my mama always say.:ninja: -
While I normally don't mind such chapters, it was quite unfortunate that the last two ones happen to be the ones published during OP's absence. Though some explanation is very welcomed.
-

Think that was me.
I'm pretty sure somebody will complain because of this chapter too.
And I kinda will/won't.
Here's what I said last week.
! And I know that Toriko has mentioned the pre shot routines multiple times before, but once again that seems like a scene that probably should've been fleshed out or not just shown right before Toriko is about to bust it out in battle.
! I'm glad that the technique is being explained. Don't think it needed a whole chapter though. And I still stand by the idea that this probably would've been better suited before the cooking festival began and not right before Toriko was going to bust it out. That said, the fight hasn't had momentum (for me), so this interruption doesn't matter to me. Which while I'm fine with it just made me realize that's also a complaint…still think I'll like the chapter though.
! Actually I'd thought you (Area51) would've complained since there's a chapter delaying the fight. I don't agree with your opinions all the time on this thread, but I do respect that you enjoy your chapters by your own opinions and don't base your opinions on whether to like a chapter on other's opinions. -
@Gizmo
In my last post I wasn't adressing anyone in particularAnyway, is there anybody who could make a rapid (traduced) summary?
! I get it's an explanation chapter (and, of course, Aimaru is always a plus) but I'd like to have some specific details.
-
Chinese scanlations pleasee. Though they won't do much good since it's an explanation chapter. We will need kewl's and his friends' release.
-
Sigh … I miss livebearer.(this has nothing to do with the spoilers since I didn't see then yet).
-
We just have a small resume of the chapter but you guys are dissapointed already?
T tends to summarize chapters pretty well without leaving anything too major out. And according to Idol, the summary seems fairly spot on. One extra tidbit though from him people will probably be interested in.
These were Idol's words.
! > It's like in the spoiler script, a flashback chapter on toriko's training. At the end of the chapter Toriko hit starjun with something that seems a jet pistol from one piece.

! Also left out that Starjun countered at the beginning of the chapter. Also a nice touch I wasn't expecting.
-
I'm very interested in what all this dialogue is about. Seems like a slow and inopportunely placed chapter, but explanations by Shima are always welcomed.
-
I didnt said the resume was missing information even if it was short. I just pointed out some of you were dissapointed already. An explanation chapter can be cool too.
-
So my volume 24 just arrived.
Was is mentioned here that there is a HUGE talk between Shimabu and Kishimoto for the 5th anniversary? I didn't see anyone talking about it here.
-
It's pretty OK actually. Explanation chapter is pretty ok to be honest but can't lie about it pains me for waiting to see a little more bromance between Toriko and Starjun.

isn't that the talk they had together in the spinoff magazine, Jump Vs?

I had no idea there was a talk in Jump VS lol, but yes. Though there is a box saying that there is an extra episode (a part?) that wasn't published before.
