I would be hyped for the next fight if Acacia's design wasnt the most moronic thing I have seen in ages.
Toriko III: It's Over!!

He will get another power up and new design
-
Their father, ok who's their mother this is more important that their father I guess.
-
It's pretty obvious who starjun's father is
!
-
I would have preferred Golden Surfer Acacia than his current form.
-
He looks like one of those demons from Devilman that serve nothing more to introduce themselves as one of "The 4 Commandments of Pain from Jinmen´s Army" or something.
That way we know the boss of the arc is a dude named Jinmen, and that Acacia is nothing more than the paperboy that brings the good news of his arrival.
-
He looks like a terribly designed Power Ranger's boss. Next thing you know Rita will use her magic wand and he'll grow into his ultimate towering form.
-
Weren't the red Nitro slave labor? So Chichi ate a bunch of slaves in their sleep and then fed them to Toriko? I get that right?
-
Not really sure how somebody could have a problem with the past 2 chapters, but then not have a problem with the previous 10-15. Im in the exact same position I was in before. Being hyped up for the next chapter.
Pure unadultered hype.
Also, this series has some of the most in-universe context insults I've ever seen. Telling somebody they have been on a diet in the Toriko world is a grade A insult.
-
Okay, just going by the basic outline of their actions in this chapter, which of these would you think was the villain?
- A character says that he'll spare another, much weaker one (despite the latter's attempts to kill him) because they were once friends.
- In an attempt to achieve his goals, a character eats people while they are asleep to get a temporary power-up.
Complicating things since 2009.
-
I'll keep saying this: as much of a rushed mess this is, and how I don't care about the concepts, lore or plot thrown at us by Shima anymore (I sincerely forgot what Acacia is even supposed to be anymore), or even its characters (both main characters AND main villains right now are a snoozefest), and yeah, Acacia looks like a turd covered in burnt hair. . .
. . .but this is still entertaining. As far as endings go, this blows Naruto's and Bleach's out of the water by the simple merit of being Toriko-ish in its depiction of mass destruction and over-the-topness. Toriko used to be many more things aside from that, and it was the better manga for it, but for what it's worth and considering how much of a trainwreck we could be watching now, I'd say this is probably better than it should have any right to be.

@Daz:

Yeah. And now Toriko and the others are randomly dozens times stroger than before. Well, who do you think Toriko's and Starjun's father is? The accredited, I think, is Midora.
So sorry for Mansam being removed from the 'main stage' because he's too "weak"…The now IGO President is a really cool character.
I hope Midora won't die... -
- In an attempt to achieve his goals, a character eats people while they are asleep to get a temporary power-up.
But its okay you see, because their cells get reincarnated as ghosts living inside people on random planets where they can eventually burst out of said people like giant zits, so its all good. Or something.
-
So who is Toriko and Star's dad?
-
-
It is hinted that either midora or acacia. But neither is satisfactory.
I'd say zongee.
-
I think the biggest shame so far is that the other three heavenly kings are just snoozing there.
-
@Don:

They had the Chichi treatment and will probably wake up after Acacia / Joa escape. Too bad they got offed though, redemption must come!
-

Yeah their time comes now, but being defeated like that before…my oh my.
And now all heavenly kings getting such a "power up" doesn´t help. -
I wonder if, other than Acacia, Midora has his own full course.
EDIT: now I understood what Chichi did: he cooked himself and fed Toriko and the other Heavenly Kings!:blink:
-
Acacia: Since when you were under the impression that was my True Full Course?
-
As far as endings go, this blows Naruto's and Bleach's out of the water
Bleach? Yes, but that isn't hard to do. Pre-90s video games that end on "YOU ARE WINNER" have better endings than bleach.
Naruto? No. It didn't have a good ending, but at least some things in it had some kind of build up and all the characters got some kind of closure.
Toriko as it exists is a gaint pile of asspull powerups, last minute bosses with no motive, side characters being brought back up only to be tossed away a second later to show how stronk everyone is and fights that seesaw back and forth with yet more asspull powers. It basically IS bleach but in fastforward with better visuals.
-
Let's not get in a discussion here about which ending sucked the least. Bleach's is horrible, Naruto's sucked and this one is not great either. The action, style and everything sure is apocalyptic, so let's just enjoy that and leave it for what it is.
-
I'm just hoping that Toriko gets spared from sporting a bad haircut in the epilogue. No protagonist should be subjected to Naruto and Ichigo's barber. shudders

TBH, if Midora gets stomped like Ichi and Jirou, then Toriko wouldve reached the level of Bleach/Naruto Final War Arcs.
Also, Joa to be confirmed as Torikos/Starjuun mother but looks that it will be revealed in a Star Wars way..

Good thing for Toriko to just pulling those at the near ending.

I guess you meant Slime right? The Ichi fight was great…

Midora does have his own Full Course.

I hope Midora won't die...By going that 3 scars thing it looks like Midora. I, too, hope Midora won't die. Midora is still by far more enjoying to watch than Toriko.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
We don't know shit about these True Full Courses. I mean the one Toriko have been gathering so far is his True Full Course?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Plus we have no idea of knowing how Pair and Acacia ate each other and why.

We do. There was a flashback.

Really I can't seem to remember that part of the story. When did that happen?

Chapter 323, 16 chars.
-
Just read the new translation by Hiwamatanoboru. It seems that chichi asked zonge to hit Neo with a laser and that was we saw a few chapters ago when Neo was fighting the Dragon King. However I still don't understand why ? I suppose it is not just to measure the level of Neo (or at least I hope so…)
-
Toriko lost me a 100 chapters ago, but I really don't care tbh
-
By the way, I remember a Blue Nitro not try and catch Jirou in a golden can (the one thay plan to catch NEO) out of fear that Acacia would see it and understand their true purpose. But this chapter PAIR says it told Acacia BN's true purpose? So Pair did that without telling other BN or Shima's bad?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
in Kewl's version True Full Course mentioned without 'mine FC'. As in it works for everyone and not individiual thing to person.
-
Dicks have been measured, let's go.
-
Well, if nothing else, at least we can enjoy the rape faces.
-
So who has money on Komatsu being the son of Frose and Acacia?
Somehow anyway. I know the ages don't match up but this is Toriko we are talking about here. Komatsu baby could have been growing in the earth for 100 years as far as this series is concerned.
-
I have absolutely no idea what is going on in the first half of the chapter, but I barely remember the lore regarding Acacia, Frohze and Midora so I can't fault Shima for that.
What I can appreciate is the straihgtforward stuff of Acacia being a shitheel because of unapologetic adulterousness in front of his partner, and of course the awesome-looking giant Planet Spank.
Thats what I'm here for at this point. The occasional glimpses of Straightforward Stuff.
-
Lol the acacia what a bitch!
-
Acacia is such a douche. He's being a douche for the sake of being a docuhe now. lol
-
It's still a mystery who Acacia's son is. He must be 500 years old and afaik Komatsu and Toriko had their ages mentioned before. On the other hand Star always calls Midora "boss" so it would be weird if he and Toriko would be his sons. So I still have no idea who is who at this point.
-
Acacia's personality and design go hand in hand.
I snorted when his palm attack covered 1/4 of Earth surface, so there is that.
-
Considering the pattern of interruptions, this time with Joie being interrupted, I'm going to assume at this point that Starjun and Toriko are Acacia and Froese's children. It's likely that Joie ate Pair again centuries later and restarted the pregnancy. I'll just assume it's some magic science effect of Pair to put the embryo(es) in stasis.
Though, that would also work for the theory that Komatsu is Froese's child.
Anywho, I'm glad Acacia decided to out himself as a misogynistic asshole on top of all his other bullshit so Midora punching him in the fucking face would be even more cathartic.

Toriko and Komatsu are in the late twenties. Toriko and Starjun are probably Midoria's kids though. A twist would be Komatsu lol.
-
And now Pair is seemingly switching sides. That or he's finally showing his true agenda.

pair just wants neo to die.

Looking at this chapter, I really don't get how Shimas mind works. He spends all this time crafting a world based on bizarre gourmet-ethics and alien decisionmaking… and then in the end, when he needs to build up Acacia as a hateable villain, makes him go "Your beloved foster mother pampered me despite me blatantly cheating on her, hehehehe, aint' I a complete bag of dicks?"
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the hell out of that moment, especially due to Acacias amazingly shit-eating grin, but if you're ultimately gonna go with something easily relatable for the reaters, why bother with all the alienating gourmet-lore mumbo jumbo?

It´s Zonge:
- We don´t know his real age. He might be older than what he looks because of his genes and whatever Froese ate while she had him.
- He´s in every single scene of danger, and always manages to overcome his shortcomings.
- We never actually saw him fight. He might be a lot stronger than what we think and we have no idea. Maybe he gets serious when in actual danger.
- He survives through every trial put ahead of him, just like Komatsu, who´s weak and defenceless when he doesn´t have Toriko around. That´s Food Luck if I ever saw it.
- The monkey King choose him as his waifu. Zonge must be really strong go take a pounding from that thing.
Zonge will be revealed as Acacia´s son and will have a role to play in his dismiss.
I actually think Star might be wrong and Toriko isn´t his brother.
Toriko´s real brother is Zonge. They were twins and no one knows. Toriko and Zonge will fuse into Tonge and defeat Acacia.
