So yea…
That giant monster man thing is freaky
Also this chapter tells terry,kiss,Quin will reappear soon even though Toriko just mention terry
They will most likely reappear when Toriko, Coco,Sani are about to die from attacks and last second saving by Terry(Toriko), Kiss(Coco), Sani(Quin)
also if the anime was to ever return and restart at the last arc that was canon in the anime to now, how many chapters is that?
Is Terry female or male?
" Those without power , flee while you still CAN "
Based on the wounds on Kiss and Terry, Bambina continues to be an asshole, this time going for face shots

Also looked at Terry's wiki page
His Gourmet checklist data in this volume says he is a boy
Where on earth did this chapter come from
Is Toriko doing worse in the ratings than usual?
That was a short, unexpected, but amazing chapter. Lots and lots of plot development and questions raised.
Well, not that I'm complaining, but this setup chapter developed too fast and with way too much content.
Did something happen? That was easily 3-5 chapters worth of reveals, twists and cliffhangers.
It seems I choose a good time to resume reading!! Crazy I was just mentioning about the 8 kings yesterday…........The Area 5 Stag looks awesome!!
Interested to learn know more about Area 1, CENTER, Dereous and Acacias Appetite Demon..............I want to see more development on the demons in general.....especially Toriko's Blue Oni!! Getting almost like Jojo Stands!!
Anyway, Amazing chapter as always!!
So now 4 things appeared from Jirou's Full Course. Consomme Magma, Docham Spring Wine, Ashurasaurus and King Land Shark. Also Derous is at Area 1 it seems.

As tits fucking awesome as the art was (and it's been the norm lately with Toriko, but this chapter had insane spreads), I too felt a bit weird. Like, we're in the middle of a cooking fest and out of the absolute blue we're thrown into this.
Of course it was cool and all, but. . .maybe a better link between last chapter and this would've been nice? First page I swear I thought I was missing something, or that maybe there was a chapter inbetween that who knows how escaped me or something. Weird.
And, yeah, I think Toriko's ratings are pretty low, and volume sales aren't spectacular either. If it had any incidence in this chapter, no idea.
Not the first time we've received a chapter so 'random' after a break.
The art panels were simply fantastic, great work Shima.
What a cluster of a chapter. So much information all at once. So do e really think that teppei is a good guy or is he lying here?
Where did this chapter come from? It's like if in One Piece, we randomly went into Emperor Shit in the middle of Drum Island.
There is a flow to story telling, you know Shima?
It feels like when shaman king was about ti fizzle out.
At least the chapter this week was MUCH better than One Piece's snore fest of a chapter, that focused on a character practically the entire fanbase hates and/or despises (Rebecca), and didn't progress at all; think it actually went backwards, tha's how slow it was. This chapter was pretty random though.
We got what is like the best chapter in the entire series, and some people use it as an excuse to bring up the sales shit or whatever? Just fucking stop already. I checked out the rankings and they're not even this bad, and I'm sure the author would have drawn this chapter regardless of all that. Besides, the first pages gave us a reason for why showing all that stuff. It's no different than when the focus changed for one chapter to other pkaces during the PAIR arc. Chapters like this also show the author has got a great grasp of time passing, in which while things are happening in one area, offpanel the plot is moving on in the other fronts, and from time to time it switches between each one to show us how things are going in those plot parts that are currently not the main focus.
Rather than wasting your time with speculation that goes nowhere, you would do better if you just embraced the wonders that are being given to you. Just a personal recomendation of mine.

Evidently this chapter was more exciting than One Piece's chapter. That was the entire point of this Toriko chapter, to create hype and more hype. And more hype. And then a bit more hype.
On the other hand, One Piece's chapter followed a sound and logical narrative flow, and only the dellusional (which take a surprisingly high number of posters here from what I've seen) should've expected anything else from that chapter, and only people who don't know the first thing about "writing 1.0" should've hoped that Oda would just throw a conclusion to an arc that started 94 chapters ago. Everyone is mixing in their hate (justified, and I'm including myself in it) for a character into what makes a cohesive narrative. Leaving that plot thread behind just to see more flashy hype in the form of meteors, buddhas and stuff (oh and Kaidou. And Sanji. And the Gorosei, why not. And Blackbeard. And all the ancient weapons. C'mon Oda, you have 19 pages, work a little you lazy fuck!) would've been the work of the worst, absolutely most incompetent writer EVER. And Rebecca being a legit awful character has absolutely NOTHING to do with that, like it or not. It has, exactly, 0% to do with leaving a plot to die.
On the other, other hand, this Toriko chapter came literally out of nowhere. Seriously, try to go from last week's last page to this week's first page, I had to do that a couple of times, completely sure I was missing something, a page got lost, no, an entire chapter got lost in the middle.
As TLC says, there's a thing called narrative, and Shima just blew that concept out of the planet. Even if I liked the chapter, because the contents are, let's face it, coco bananas.
King Land Shark was mostly likely based on this:

There isn't a defined form of narrative, every author uses the one thinks is best suited for a particular series.

I personally much more enjoyed the slow, emotionally satisfying OP chapter that resolved a 2 year long plot thread (and I agree Rebecca sucks) than this silly flashy expose of uber monsters that came out of nowhere. Especially given with Shima's pacing, half of them will be taken out a la four beasts (hopefully I am wrong on that front). I mean the art was nice but it's all style and no substance. At least when Kaidoh was introduced, it was at the appropriate moment not jammed in the middle of Dressrosa and had a nice half chapter build up to it too opposed to Oda just getting all the emperors and gorosei and Shickibukai and whoever and cramming them all into a chapter expecting us to go OH MY GERD THIS IS SO EXCITING BECAUSE I RANDOMLY SHOVED A BUNCH OF BIG NAMES IN ONE CHAPTER WITHOUT ANY REAL BUILDUP HYPPPPEEEEE
I wonder if Moon will just appear out of nowhere during the cooking battle. They must felt the quake in Blue Grill right?

You are confusing with the wrong chapter, pal.

At least their introduction was at an appropriate moment and served to hype up the cooking tournament. Granted 90% of them were pointless and the entire cooking tournament arc was a waste…

stop being such a moron elitist prick.
stop being such a moron elitist prick.
Opposed to being a non-constructive whiner whose entire post history is composed of bitching about One Piece?
No, thanks, at least I'm adding something to the conversation.
This is how I feel and my points are valid. I say them because it's what I believe not to be a show off.
Also if you have nothing more constructive to add other than cheap insults, do us a favor and don't speak.
@TLC:

oh yea..they must be valid. Being an "aspiring film critic" on tumblr, you've got a lot of credibility.

Yet you've had two chances now to address them which you've passed for further ad hominems. Almost like you have nothing to say about them and are simply knee jerk reacting whenever someone says anything positive about One Piece.
Again, if you have nothing constructive to add, don't say anything.
Edit: And of course Nekketsu plays the part of the wingman instead of addressing my arguments.
Geeze. It's too early in the day for these personal attacks.
The chapter had some really awesome imagery. But I had to go backwards and make sure I hadn't missed a chapter. It's so sudden and with no segway I can see why some would wonder if something else might have influenced the abrupt focus of this arc.
Just wonder why the Teppei reveal was placed in this chapter when that point could easily have been saved for another chapter. This one chapter is overloaded already. And yeah, finding the 8 kings instantly like this with little setup is a bit odd.
One of the traits I like so much about Toriko is how a single action resounds around a vast amount of areas and it gets things moving for future plot developments.
It makes sense that Moon moving, officially the strongest of all the Kings, would be immediatly sensed by his fellow partners. It had to happen, that's all.
Deer King design looks awesome, and I don't mind all the kings starting to move at once being shoved into a single chapter. It's not like all of them are gonna go down within a single chapter as well, this only served to give the other teams a bit of screen time and, of course, HYPE. Which isn't surprising seeing as this is Toriko. If you're bothered beyond tolerance by this, why are you still reading this manga? However, I do agree that Shima could've saved Teppei and Accacia reveal for some time later, as it takes away from the appearance of all the Kings and is still too clouded by mystery to have a big impact (at least on me).
The only design is meh is Moon, its just generic, the rest of the 8 King design look damn awesome.
What was that thing on Area 1? Was that Acacia? Where is Derous? Did he get offpanel or what?
I hope Shima doesnt offpanel the cooking contest, it would be disappointing.

Oh u mean that chapter that was as bad as Naruto chapters? Even Bleach was better.
Hahaha! Haters complaining about OP in an another manga thread. How quaint.
Nice chapter we had here, though I'm conflicted in some ways. With how this was framed, I feel that we might get little bits of the other groups while the cooks get to shine. I like the cooking stuff, but if most of the other groups are sidelined, we miss out on some opportunities. We had this happen with the group split up for AIR, and I would like to have some focus on the various groups, especially Zebra/Brunch and Toriko/Starjun. The chapter suggests things are going to really speed up, which might mean less character development like last chapter, which was great. I could be reading too much into it and Shima wanted to just hint at some other stuff, but it seems like a weird spot to do it at. Of course, Toriko is not the only one to have done something like this.
The Deer King design was cool, so that lets us know about that unknown King. The whale one didn't really mesh with me, but maybe when we see it later I'll change my mind. The ending part was strange and most likely we won't get any info about that for some time. I see the next chapter continuing the cooking stuff.
I probably shouldn't be one to say this seeing that I've been guilty of it before, but isn't it against the rules to be talking about other manga's in these sections? Saying this chapter reminded you of something from another series is one thing, but outright complaining about another series in a completely different series thread is a big no-no. I could be wrong though.
Weird chapter placement.
I got to respect Bambina for being the smallest out of the kings, by quite a large margin.
Weird chapter placement indeed.
Guys bring your moaning about Rebecca and whatever problems with the current OP chapter to the relevant threads. Also, quit with the personal attacks. TLC may not exactly be the most affable of forumgoers but he does have a point about the flow of narratives in both series' chapters.
Nice to see Bambina getting along with the pets, he seems happy playing nice.

Just waiting for Herac Jr to appear as well.

Seems that we wont see the pets until Toriko hits EOS, they are far,far,far below the 8 King level.
Poor Hongue still trapped..

It wasn't really a reveal. After the Komatsu heart/PAIR thing it was pretty much confirmed that he's not evil, just not said out loud like in this chapter.
But Toriko's flow has always been pretty weird/random. Small training/fighting/adventure arcs and foreshadowing panels/hints/chapters here and there (like the pot guy not being a traitor and such) while in One Piece's case, it's pretty linear. Island to island with some occasional 'world events' chapters like Doflamingo/Kuma reveal, Ace vs BB, Shanks and Wb etc. They are different.
I just realized something. Moon was that single eye panel.
shudders

So what ever happened to Grinpatch and Alfaro? I kinda liked those guys…
Hear me out guys I think there is two Acacia one of them who's in area 1 and the other one is in outer space, base on what you ask I would say on this chapter 335 and the one when pair was talking with fake Kaka chapter 322. So what do you think?
We all float down here!
