We don´t really know where are ranked Alfaro, Limon, Kaitora, Bile and the yet to be named ones.
As Alfaro s Midora´s right hand I wouldn´t assume he´s under the Executive Chef rank.

Damn is that thing in IGO hand really suppose to be a kitchen knife? But I love the cat.

although Ichiryuu is the IGO president he initially started out as a bishokuya and not a chef so it's most likely just an enourmous sword.

I do remember him saying it was the knife needed to take care of the salade Air.
But damn Acacia really sucks at giving names when he wants. Earth.News an Another???
It's a knife Melk the First had been crafting for 6 years. It appears Acacia's Salad "AIR" is the hardest ingredient in Toriko.
Clearly Acacia didn't choose these names without thinking.
I'd say that, though not speaking from personal experience, I assume these words, aside from possible connection to the Pangaea hypothesis mentiond above (which might just be a refference for it's own sake), it's also possible that these english names do sound exotic-ish to Japanese readers, or it at least would seem the author's intent is for them to find it exotic.
Not to compare Shima to Noriaki-kun but that's literally the reason he gave for using (realy bad) Spanish. That was before he alienated everyone in Germany of course.
It's also worth noting that center is a secret, so if we ignore it the order is exactly Pangaea
Center is the Hors D´eouvre, so as the first course, it doesn´t really gets in the way.

We only know how the chefs and branch chiefs rank works:
Dores - Executive Chef (the highest)
Niceny - aid to Executive Chef (I don't if he's higher or lower than Kuromado)
Kuromado - Head Chef
Kariu - Head Chef
Boneless - Head Chef
Starjun - Sous Chef
Grinpatch - Sous Chef
Tommyrod - Sous Chef
Below those are the Branch Chiefs.
Alfaro and Limon should serve directly under Midora and they are unique like Kaitora. I think Alfaro is recognised as Midora's right hand, so it's possibly he's the _vice_boss.
Basically what I´m always saying, yeah. (regarding Alfaro)
I hope this time we get to see the fights, and not only Ichiryuu vs Midora. I´m mostly curious about Yosaku´s
I've been reading about chef rankings and I'm a little confused, so maybe you guys know this
In the wikipedia article they just put Chef de cuisine, executive chef, chef manager and head chef together, are they implying that some of these could inhibit the same role or is this the actual ranking? This site
It also says the sous chef is the second in command, so could this be right?Executive Chef/Chef de cuisine > Head Chef > Sous Chef > all the others (branch managers, goons, etc.)
hihihi, i asked this here before but got ignored…
btw, awesome find Skadi and friend and thank you for sharing..
hihihi, i asked this here before but got ignored…
god forbid we don't talk about power levels or that cardboard cut-out Star for once ;)
Alright fellow Toriko-reading-gents, let's speculate wildly! There will be three questions:
How many chapters will Shima use to resolve all these fights? Consider if he will actually spend a significant amount of time on them or just plow on through at a breakneck pace as usual. These are Acacia's ingredients, so who knows.
How many characters will die in the course of the fights? There's a ton of fighting about to go down, and Shima hasn't been too worried about killing characters recently. And in particular…
Will Ichiryuu die?
After the events have concluded we can look back and see who called it.
For the record I say it will be 5 chapters and 4 deaths, including Ichiryuu.
anyone notice that Nincey said it's only you Ryuu and didn't mention Rapp
anyone notice that Nincey said it's only you Ryuu and didn't mention Rapp
Yeah, but only because he made a pun (Ichiryuu - Ryuu).
Yeah, but only because he made a pun (Ichiryuu - Ryuu).
Or maybe because Rap is really the spy for the bad guys, don't you think it's a little to odd that the author paired those two up after Rapp called him out for being a spy, many people had guessed that Rapp would actually have been the spy
For the record I say it will be 5 chapters and 4 deaths, including Ichiryuu.
Isn't that a bit too short for a warfare of such scale?
Or maybe because Rap is really the spy for the bad guys, don't you think it's a little to odd that the author paired those two up after Rapp called him out for being a spy, many people had guessed that Rapp would actually have been the spy
I'm not saying that this could be true and I already pointed out myself that this pairing is kinda funny, but I just think we aren't meant to read that much into that one line of Niceny seeing how it's a pun.
Ichiryuu did a smart move placing those two together. This way Rapp will see with his own eyes that Ryuu's loyalty to the IGO is unwavering.
Yes, but not for Shima ;)
I dunno, 5 chapters still sounds too short for me. And how many of those focused on the Ichiryuu vs Midora would you spend?
Or maybe because Rap is really the spy for the bad guys, don't you think it's a little to odd that the author paired those two up after Rapp called him out for being a spy, many people had guessed that Rapp would actually have been the spy
I can't imagine Rapp being the spy. He seems so loyal. I've no doubt about him. Yeah, Niceny was mocking Ryuu. But I think Yakuza's former boss will beat the shit out of the long-arms scum.
I'm so curious to see all these guys fighting. Unlucky Melk won't fight agaist someone on par with him.
And I miss Master Chin :(
Yeah, but only because he made a pun (Ichiryuu - Ryuu).
I think it also played with the english word you. Only to find you. Only to find ryuu. Clever.
Joejoe seemed loyal to the Bishokukai to me. We don´t know enough of any of the 0th Biotope members to tell which one could be a traitor.
Didn't Ichiryuu say there was only ONE traitor?
So the traitor is a triple agent? I mean, 0th Biotope guy-NEO guy-Bishokukai guy? So…Kousairou? Naaah...I think the one who leaked the information about CENTER to Bishokukai was Joa/Frohze.
The way I see this.
Kousairou: He's the traitor, and it makes sense. Early during the Meteor Garlic arc Livebearer told Coco that Joa had info about Acacia's drink ATOM, and we would learn much later that Kousairou is the only one who knows its exact location and how to obtain it.
Kuriboh: He's the double-agent. Before the 0th Biotope left for Gourmet World and Kousairou headed to Cooking Fest, Ichiryuu called him for something, a conversation we have yet to see. In one of the recent chapters, when Joa's mount Tokage was fetching the members from NEO, Kuriboh suddenly disappeared before the beast could pick him up.
and if you look at the fight against Setsuno again, it becomes kinda obvious that Kuriboh was the only one to not try to harm her directly, he only held her in his fake arm and made it possible to get two hits in, two that were shrugged off by her anyway
unless this is all a read herring and it turns out Kuriboh works actually for the Bishokukai, Kousairou is the double agent and Shigematsu actually really only tried to stop Mansam, lol
I can't believe I just noticed this now. Look, look!!

Terry, Kiss and Quinn were the first to notice what was going on in Gourmet World and went to find Jirou who felt it too. Everything I just posted above, from the dark clouds to the tremor, were hints of the big battle that was taking place at the other side.
Basically, every time there was the sound of a tremor in the background, that was the Ichiryuu vs Midora.
Oooohhh~ I like that. We def. need to see at least bits of that fight.
! ミドラはLV388ランペイジとLV417トルネードラドンをつれてきた。メルクとアタシノが対決。
一龍は包丁を地面に差し込み隠す?と同時に空を飛ぶ。ミドラの乗ってた獣も上空へ行きはぐれ島へ到着。
そこには固有の猛獣もおりLV466ゴロン獣やLV524リッパーザフォックス等いる。ミドラの獣はオクトパルドLV620
! グルメ界の生物は捕獲レベルを変化させる種が多いらしい。餌になるなよジジイとミドラは言う。
一龍「ほざけ小僧が」
引力により猛獣達が引き寄せられる。一龍はトリコのナイフやフォークの様に箸を使い獣たちをつかむ。
一龍は以前ミドラを殺し損ねた時以来の箸を使ってる。
! 次週
! Don't really know what's happening but there are lots of beasts with cLvl like 417 and 388 and the highest is the Octopard or something like that being 620.
! Seems that GW beasts have fluctuating capture levels, and that ichiryuu uses chopsticks the way Toriko uses knife and fork.
! Seems most of the chapter is Ichi vs Midora, hope we get tiny tidbits of the other fights as well.
Isn't all the last examples just hype for Joas double-spread apperance? Like they noticed his presence in the air? I'm not sure what the "GOGOGOGGOGOGO" sfx usually refers to, but rather than a tremor, couldn't it just be Joas hovering?
Also, it kinda retroactively steals his thunder if all those reaction shots weren't aimed at him. Of course, Joas dark presence might also be exactly what Staa was referring to (it directly precedes the reaction pages after all), and Jirou could just be talking about the events at the stadium in general.
If everyone suddenly noticed the gourmet world fight, you'd think they'd mention it, at least offhandedly. "OMG Joas here! But the thing I noticed felt like it was much further away…", something like that.

Maybe. But think is the "GOGOGOGOGOGOGO" sfx also appears again at the end of ch. 244 and beggining of ch. 245. Also Terry, Kiss and Quinn are originally Gourmet World beasts and they have highly developed senses.
Which kind of fighting styles could have the BIG shown in the last chapter? Ok, Guemon uses his katana, Dores could use his kitchen knives, Alfaro his plates. But the others? I'm so curious to see Goblin Ramon, Megarodras, Melk, Yosaku, Tack and Malee for the 0th above all, Kuromado and Dores for the Bishokukai. And…of course, Midora.

That's the Chinese version, but thanks, Baidu doesn't work for me today.
Great, this is great! I can't wait for the translations.
! That monster with the creppy face is perfect for Livebear.
! Looks like Ichiryuu does have some sort of gravity based power after all
! Is that a flashback to where Ichriyuu beat Midora?
! Looks like Ichiryuu does have some sort of gravity based power after all
! From the look of it, he's like Master Chin; his mass is compressed in his tiny body and he can manipulate it at will (hence the fat kid in the explanation).
! Looks like Ichiryuu does have some sort of gravity based power after all
! We knew that already. During Ichiryuu's come to Bishokukai Gourmet World HQ, he showed that kind of power. The pages about this were added to the volume version of the chapter
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
! I really like Ichiryuu. But I like Midora much more. I can't wait to see Midora beat the shit out of IGO President (but I don't want him to die yet…well, it's complicated )
Chapter's out Huh. Thought I said I'd take a break from posting…
! Rampage reminds me of a Titan on SnK. I think the hydra design is not as cool as the tiger/octopus.
! And I understand that the BFS is a knife meant for the Menu Item, but major points loss for not even considering using it in the fight at all. Why show off the BFS if it's not going to be used?
! The stray islands are pretty cool albeit generic.
! Liked the ripper beast and the gorgon beast, and while fluctuating power levels is kinda dumb, at least Shima gave himself leeway to just have beasts be whatever level they want for when the Gourmet World starts being explored.
! Feel like Midora and Ichi are going to be the only fight onscreen shown, but like I'm said I'm probably the minority in that I'm glad that would be the case given the fighting fatigue. And it looks like this fight on its own will probably last another 2-3 weeks, maybe 4-5 if things get stretched like the Toriko/Starjun battle.
! And since we know the spice will rain down, along with Midora's lines, it looks the human world really is destroyed. Irrevocably.
It's cool that Shima still bothers to bring to live the ideas submitted by his fans.
wow Tornadragon look awesome.. it remind me of father of all monster Typhon.
Well, the Stray Islands thing kinda ruins my theory that Jirou's World Knocking is what caused the battle to supposedly turn in Midora's favor.
Still, CHOPSTICKS! So awesome.
! These designs are great, both the demon beasts are freaky as hell, agree with Gizmo that it reminded me off a titan, the hydra is pretty generic, but at least it carries the toriko formula somewhat, the fox is alright. Thinking about it, I don't want to come across the kid who thought that rampage creature up, lol
Also, I've grown to like the octotiger, thought it was goofy in a bad way at first, but I kinda like the way it moves, seems natural
The close up of ichis' face and hand are also pretty well drawn, way to make a kind looking old man appear threatening, also nice doublespread with the flying islands, it's no skypiea though
Those gourmet beast are cool espeacialy the wolf and the "titan" one.
And Ichi just taking care of those effortless.
Lets see how this goes next week.
Nice to see Ichiryuu use something as simple as chopsticks. Not some process or function, but simple utensils. I like the vibe it gives off - simple visualisation for one of the strongest powers.
I'm ready for the fight to be cropped just to critical moments. Since we know the outcome and usually fights of top powers tend to be either stopped or not shown fully. Though Shima tries to give fights nice and juicy exposition, he might show only a couple of scenes to keep Midoras level not fully open. Unless Midora will get one shoted by Joa or someone other when they meet near the end or something. But I hope Shima doesn't plan to draw such lame card.
On the side note - I hope Toriko's leg is okay. Yosaku said that sewing back is very easy. Though he got the same arm erased. I hope there will be a suitable solution, since him growing back the same arm yet again is bad karma, and using the ogre arm with black nails aside from fight won't really fly in overall look for him.
