Oops, my bad. Kind of amusing Toriko had been nearby their HQ.
Toriko III: It's Over!!

Well silly me, we could have seen the map at the beggining of the chapter. Aren't we all stupid?

http://readms.com/r/toriko/353/3143/3Lol I totally skipped that page because I thought it was fanart for some reason.
-
Even by using the chapter map, I´m still confused.
What exactly is Area 1 and Area 2?
Unlike the other areas, they have the same pattern, so it´s hard to tell.Also, I wonder if Ichiryu and Jirou ever eaten the space food that the Mother Snake got.
@The:
Fun chapter overall. Loved seeing the abilities of all the 8 kings, with Bambina and Heracles being the best. So did that panel where Bambina dodged Heracles attack imply he was going to attack Heracles? If so that would be a fight worth seeing.
I think it was just a way to say that, even though Bambina was sad that his "dance partner" got killed, he was happy to know there were other strong potential "dance partners".
-
Area 2 surrounds area 1, that is the center of the islands.
-
You´re right, I just hadn´t realized Neo moved to one of the Area 2 islands. I thought it was fighting in Area 1.
-
It seems like Toriko's ultimate dream is about to be realized: eating God. Will Toriko's adventure continue like Dragon Ball Z(travelling in space and seeing new worlds etc) or will it be concluded the moment God is eaten and Neo is defeated? What do you guys think?
-
The manga has been rushing faster and faster ever since the great gourmet competition. We are getting through the rest of the continents, the nitros and neo in short time. The way that most modern shonen are crafted, a clearly defined goal and an stablished nemesis, make any attempts on going over any of these a risk. Compare death note and bleach to the current situation. Besides, Goku's dream was to fight someone stronger, something that he constantly did, and could still do. If toriko had a more abstract goal, but it's "eat god" and "find a good fish and meat" and "stop apocalypse" right now.
-
I think at the end of the day, Toriko's "ultimate goal" would be completing his own full course.
Anyway… there are quite a lot of threads left to tie up, that even with the current pacing feeling rushed I don't really see the manga ending in the immediate future, maybe in 30-50 chapters at the very least. And honestly, for better or worse, there are still a ton of potential different directions that the manga could go in at this point.
That said, the manga is definitely is a weird spot in WSJ currently. Sales have dropped and it is struggling in the weekly rankings lately, if it keeps up with the decline I could see it possibly moving magazines or getting the axe. Although that doesn't seem like the most likely thing to happen with the amount of WSJ series that seem set to end (naturally) in the coming year.
-
Wouldn't it be kind of a twist if Toriko got his main dish before the fish and meat dishes? Even now I'm still intrigued to find out which ingredient he's going to pick up for these 2 spots, GOD aside.
And we just got confirmation there are beasts roaming in the Milky Way.
-
Which is worse, slowly fading away like HxH or going out with a super-accelerated conclusion like Toriko?
-
AIR arc: 23 chapters
PAIR arc: 29 chapters
ANOTHER arc: 29 again
Besides the fact ANOTHER arc was more fast-paced than usual, where's the rush?
-
In the way things unfold.
People were expecting more development of each areas, considering the way the Human World Arc went and the size/hype comparison with the Gourmet World. -
Or the fact that a lot of development of areas and concepts is done through heavy exposition in certain chapters, with the ANOTHER arc's principal offender being Jiji.
Or the whole deal of the cooking tourney being 80% skipped.
Does that count chapter count also include the ones that didn't take place in their respective areas?
-
I'm mostly disappointed in character treatment. I wanted to get to know more about the Heavenly Kings. But it's starting to seem like we'll only get a bit more about Toriko and why he's the uber vessel for 3 appetite demons or whatever and he's the least interesting…sigh I think Sunny's going to get demoted back down to A or B rank.
This arc really just focused on all the wrong aspects in my opinion. I don't feel anything for these characters anymore. This has mostly become another series to just read because I've been reading it for so long and I need to see it to the end.
-
I don't know about Sunny, but Coco conceals some dark background, as he was once classified as a first class dangerous creature. Do you remember who else in the Heavenly Kings had been given the same categorization? Zebra.
@Purple:

Naturally. Afterall, had not been for those chapters people would have begin wondering why Joa wasn't waiting in the World of Souls like he stated he would, or the Neo zit that got swallowed by Moon, among other things. Or Neo itself and the Don Slime being revealed as the only potential being in the world that can rival it.
But yeah, I can see where you're going with this, and I agree. I just hope the next areas are going to be more fleshed out, and they might since the focus will be on the 4 Heavenly Kings.
-
Coco got that classification because he's a poisonous human. I can't recall if it was due to experiments or not. Zebra is a glutton that doesn't care about rules. He wiped out some species. That aside we still don't know much about them I was hoping with this trip they'd be able to be together more for us readers to get more insight into their backgrounds. But I really doubt that's going to happen.

Hunter already gotten some sort of conclusion. Same as Vinland Saga it could have already ended in a way as characters reached some culmination points already.
Toriko on other hand I dont know as good as HxH but even for somebody like me if what we are getting now is final arc then it feels underwhelming. Or maybe I am used too much to slow building up arcs instead of setting up all strongest people and monsters all over the planet and jumping between their fights..

354 spoilers reviving this thread edition:
From: http://animeprodestiny.forumcommunity.net/?t=57080224#lastpost
! ■飛び散って来た最凶の悪魔─!!
! トリコらに食い掛かる悪魔。
! トリコ「うおぁあ!!」
! 「な…なんだコイツは!!?」
! とその時、トリコ、スタージュンは反射的に二人とも悪魔が出現する。
! トリコを押しのける赤鬼「どいてろバカ!!! モタモタしてんじゃねーよ!!」
! スターの悪魔「ボルケーノ!!!」
! スターの悪魔が繰り出した業火に赤鬼が合わせる「ファイアージェットフォーク!!!」
! 強烈な攻撃で上空まで吹っ飛んでいく悪魔。
! 息切れしている2人。
! スター「はぁーはぁー」
! トリコ「ふー ふー…」(な…何だ…!? 急に飛び出したぞ!!?)
! 猿王との腕相撲の際、赤鬼が出て来たことを思い出すトリコ。
! トリコ(今までも何度かあったが グルメ細胞の悪魔が出て来るってことは 今の生物がそれだけヤバイ相手だったと?)
! とそのとき、上空から地面に伸びるゴムのようなものに気付く2人。
ゴムのような根は次々に2人の周りに降り落ちていく。
! ふっとんだネオの悪魔は地面に根を貼りゴムの様に触手を伸ばし、耐えていた。
! トリコ「もちこたえてんのか!? あの攻撃を!!」
! そして悪魔は襲い続けるジェットパンチに対して上手く身体を逸らし、攻撃をかわす。
さらにゴムの反動で飛び降りてくる悪魔。
! トリコ「戻って来るぞ!!」
! しかし猛スピードで戻る悪魔に対し、狼王は匂いをクンクンと嗅ぐ。
その瞬間ネオの一部が魂を抜かれたかのように一瞬意識を失い地面に激突
! それをバトルウルフが踏みつけた
! その衝撃はとてつもなく エリア2が崩壊するレベルの衝撃
! 地面にフォークとナイフを数十メートル埋めて耐えたトリコとスターだが衝撃波で数百キロ移動させられた
! スターの眼は一度ロックオンした獲物を常に映し続けるそう 狼王はションベンしてる
! 超高速で近づいてきた狼王 突然スターが魂が抜けたかのように意識を失い倒れる そしてすぐあとにトリコも
! _その瞬間もまた狼王はクンクンしてた _
! トリコ 355話 ネタバレへ続く!! -
! Toriko & Starjun vs Neo zit
! The battle grows dire by the minute and both of their demons come out to prevent their hosts from getting killed
! Guinness comes and stomps the Neo zit, largely destroying Area 2 in the process! Those who said Toriko got a power-up for free, prepare to eat your words.
-
! Translation:
Basically Toriko/Star have issue dealing with Acacia's demon, but battle wolf pwned it completely without breaking a sweat. Toriko/Starjun are damaged by the after shock of Battle Wolf's attack on Acacia's demon.
! Bottomline: Battle wolf completely owns all three of them without any effort. Battle wolf's attack have the ability to shock out your soul from your body, thus that is why you see toriko's soul coming out of his body. Starjun is already unconscious I think..
Intersting ability for sure. -

What did
PorkyGuinness do?! -
What did
PorkyGuinness do?!Killed the Neo tumour, destroyed most of area 2, moved tens of kilometers in mere seconds and completely humiliated Toriko and Star….pretty much sums it up I think.
Insane wolf.
-
You never played Mother 3 didn't you?
-
You cannot grasp the true form of Guinness' attack
-
Did he knock their gourmet demons out of their body? Hence the white hair on Starjun?

I don't think so, it appears to me like he just sucked their human souls out of their bodies. Their Appetite Devils remaining in their vessels will probably be the plot device that ensures their survival here.
-
Seems to me like his sniffs are powerful enough to inhale someone's entire essence/soul for olfactory examination.
-
One second he's taking a piss. The next second he's RIGHT IN FRONT YOU.
I'm sure Guinness didn't even feel that punch.
-
I'm disappointed. How can you take a step and have it equal to a nuclear blast, but when you take a piss, it's just a normal harmless piss. I expected a tsunami wave of urine.

That's a pretty cool idea!

He's restraining himself in doing that, can't pee all over the wolves behind him you know:ninja:
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also, Star mentioning him being able to follow his enemy even if he escaped into space is another hint that we will be going there. Let's hope so.
-
The Kings are ridiculous Disciples need to step their game up.
-
!
Hahaha, I laughed a little too hard at that.
-
Guinness after taking Toriko's punch: "Felt a tickling in my left cheek… must be the wind blowing".
-
I wonder if Terry will be like that in the future.
-

Taking a piss wherever he pleases…what else to expect from a son of a cloned battle wolf^^
-
I laugh thinking back of Toriko challenging Guinness some chapters ago.
I don't exactly get what kind of power Guinness has, aside ultra high speed and unmatchable brute strenght. There are some connections with Heracles and her breathing abilities, I suppose. -
Derous your turn to show us what your made of.
-

I agree. But I want to see some Mother Snake action too.
-
It would be nice if the Battle Wolf have the ability to remove the etherial soul from the living body and…Oh wait....
-
I agree. But I want to see some Mother Snake action too.
Mother Snake is all I care to see right now. Battlewolf needs to go give Heracles her abilities back, imo… Stomping and soul sniffing should be her modus operandi!
-
Breathing is different from smelling.
-

I was thinking about Mother Snake Capture Level…something that big could be captured? I mean, its lenght is equal to the world's...even if someone would be able to capture Mother Snake, where did you "store" it? The same goes for Heracles, though she's "only" 20 kms tall (and we know her Capture Level is 6200), or Moon and Deer King.
-
I agree. But I want to see some Mother Snake action too.
So do I bit we've already seen her in action. While Derous has had no action and 1 page of screen time.
-
We are still in ANOTHER arc, right? Then we cannot move to the next arc without a good display from Moon… against the main body of Neo.
-
It just dawned on me that Star-kun's 'Gourmet Clairvoyance' ability is probably how Midora and Alfaro were able to find and infiltrate NEO's hideout so easily. My dude Star has been keepin' tabs on Joie for the past 1 1/2+ years!
