@Thousand:
Komatsu has to stay captured for the sake of Toriko's ego. Uh huh. Never mind preventing him from being eviscerated by Starjun again. You really don't realize how terrible it makes both their characters look?
Here's an idea? How about Komatsu just leaves and reunites with Toriko because their well-being and knowing that they're both safe and healthy is the most important thing, Toriko can get the fuck over his loss because he's a big boy and doesn't need to endanger his and his friends lives in a suicide mission to get over it and they can just go kick ass in the gourmet world. I'd rather see this than a rescue arc just for the sake of a rescue arc.
How about I repeated to you that its been established since chapter 1 that their physical well-being (and their lives) is NOT their number 1 priority, unlike what you are stating right now? Once again you are showing that you don't understand the characters.
How about I repeated to you that, even though it doesn't make rational sense at this time, Komatsu instinctively knows, like Coco did, that his decision will turn out to be the best decision, which is coherent with the theme of faith and instinct that has been recurrent in this manga?
How about I told you, like I've basically stated before, that Komatsu instinctively knows that if he left and returned to Toriko, it probably would impact negatively his combo with Toriko, either because not letting Toriko undo his failure would be bad for him in the long run or because that choice wouldn't be the best choice for their development as a combo, and Komatsu is more than willing to risk his own life to make the best decision for their development based on the faith he has on his combo, as is Toriko?
Without understanding the characters first, and the recurrent theme, obviously you will find it all dumb. But that's not the manga's fault, is it?
@Jabra:
So Grinpatch acting strange has nothing to do with Coco's poison, but Neo?
I think he was just saying that Grinpatch was also in some sort of transe. But in his case its because of Coco's poison.
