I finally killed a housefly today that was really bothering me. It made me think of something:
You know how Toriko & Co. are usually just darting around from place to place, eating whatever delicious things they can find? And you know how even beasts of capture level <100 were shown to have at least human-level intellect?
Wouldn't it be fun if Shima took these ideas to the next level? Picture this: Toriko and his companions are so far beneath some of the creatures of Gourmet World, that they are perceived as essentially flies/rodents/pests of some sort. Maybe one of the King beasts of Gourmet World isn't so friendly to the creatures "beneath" it, much like humans are in reality. It could be pretty great if, at some point, Toriko's group is pursued by some sort of exterminator beast because they are actually an unhealthy presence and are somehow contaminating the ingredients that they are coming into contact with.
