@Louis-1988:
While I disagree with his opinion that the arc has been boring, how exactly is he being homophobic? We're talking about a monkey here.
Because testicles is only weird to most people because they associate it to its sexual component. If the sexual component wasn't an issue, it might be an uncommon bodypart to eat but people would not get hung up on it.
@TLC:
This opinion might be worth something if not for the fact that the manga is clearly framing the whole eating balls thing as a giant, ridiculous joke that has long been stretched (hurr hurr) out beyond belief. It's hard to not be hung up over it when the manga is constantly shoving the balls in our faces. The author might as well have Zebra hold up a giant sign behind the Monkey King saying "This is funny!!! GET IT, IT'S FUNNY I SAY!!! LAUGH, DAMMIT!!!"
And I specifically mentioned that the manga uses this for an added element of humor. I just commented on getting too hung up on that fact.
Yes, its testicles, yes, its uncommon, and yes, the manga recognizes its potential for humor. That doesn't change the fact that its not even THAT weird to eat testicles in the real world or means that the entire arc is a penis joke.
Even in the USA people eat bull's testicles.
