heh, that was actually better than what I expected from the spoilers. First time in a while I look at them, and I already forgot not to judge too quickly, lol
Anyway, I thought the part with Star demonstrating his ability was pretty neat, and this is also the first time I remember seeing Coco make a menacing face, although I'm sure it happened before and I just don't remember. The Gorilla head popping out of the giraffes neck also got a good laugh out of me.

The question I have to ask after this chapter: Are we going to find the real Zaus naked somewhere, tied up in a closet?
-
@Fire Fist Ace: Yes.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
A friend of mine got Toriko´s Hunting Book and I asked her about the duties of the Branch Chiefs. She can´t type the katakana so she gave me this:
"Cedre - shokuryou choutatsu
Bogey - shikomi
Barry gamon - chorikigu chotatsu
Jerryboy - shokuzai kaihatsu
Yuu - jouhou shuushuu (these two are different shuu kanji)
Elg - chori hojo"Anyone knows how would this be translated in english?
-
I have no idea who those people are.
Toriko has too many characters.
-
…What.
They fought Toriko and co. on the Regal Mammoth and Ice Hell.
Cedre fought Sunny
Bogey fought Takimaru
Barry fought Match
Yuu beat up Komatsu and stole the soupJerry and Elg have yet to do something, but they are on the current arc.
-
@Skadi I'm sure there's some, if not most that are not fanatic enough to remember every character in the series, especially if they haven't been prominent in over +100 chapters (like the ice hell arc), if they only have small roles per arc and since Shima barely develops characters to make them really memorable outside design. Or at least there's so many characters it's harder to make them stand out.
And Shima has dozens of characters, most of which have only small roles or have show up in only a few panels.
-
I´m not expecting everyone to remember all the characters. I don´t remember all of them myself.
But I don´t think they are minor at all. RM and IH were two of the biggest arcs, and Cedre, Bogey and Barry were competent rivals for the characters. Cedre even fought a Heavenly King.
-
Over 100+ chapters ago and haven't been mentioned or hyped up since. (And Cedre's prominence was in a GT robo, not his normal design). Admittedly they're more memorable then a lot of characters as of late, but there's been a ton of characters and plot since then without bishokukai at the forefront.
I think it's understandable, or at least not that surprising that a person doesn't remember where a character was from right away.
-
IgorGB: Consider rereading the arcs involving the Bishokukai when you get the chance, since they are on the current arc, it´ll really benefit you remember their faces and names.
-
Cedre is in charge of food provisions. Bogey is in charge of food preparation. Barrygamon makes the cookware. Jerryboy's translates to something like "Atonement development", which doesn't make any sense. Let's just say he's PR, I guess. Yuu apparently is the intel gatherer, and Elg is apparently in charge of income.
-
Thanks a lot FFA!! What do you mean with Jerry being PR, tho?

They're an underground criminal organisation bent on killing, kidnaping and enslaving. How the fuck does PR figure into that ? O_O

They may be bent on killing, kidnaping and enslaving, but how is the world supposed to know that? PR.
-
No, seriously… What does PR stands for???
-

Public Relations. They need to get their name out there to the public.
-
Thanks. I can´t decide what´s funnier in my head. Jerry being in charge of PR or Elg in charge of the income.
-

What's so funny about that?!
They need someone like that in case the Chef protest because of low pay.
-
Yo, I am hella excited here. Toriko's making his thizz face, which means that someone is going to get brutally beaten.
also wtf the giraffe-birds just sprout carnivore heads out of their necks okay whatever
-

That would be HR.
-
Such a weird defense. My head gets cut off. I grow another head that is not giraffe related and has fangs to counter attack…Hrm.
-
Huh ? I thought the heads were Bishokukai parasite beasts that took over the giraffes.
-

No idea. Things happened.

And that head can also shoot energy balls XD

Aohige answered my PM (I told him the same I said here, about the info of the Branch Chiefs duties, to be translated)
He said "Ingredient supplier, Preparer, Cookware supplier, Food developer, Intellgence, and Assistant Cook. (Intelligence can be Reconnaissance, but that's more military themed than simple information gathering)"
It´s in order (6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st branches). Jerry´s and Elg´s duties are very different to FFA´s translation. Now i´m confused D:
-
Aohige is a Japanese who can use English proficiently.
So I guess you should assume his translation is correct.

I'd definitely go with Bluebeard's. Mine was just speculation based on the translations of the Romaji. I can't read the Kanji, and that's what counts. The Romaji can mean a few different things and I just picked ones that made the most sense.
-
But…Jerry Boy as "PR" was slowly turning into a conundrum... damn u Bluebeard!!! XD
Ah...the ways of promoting the bishokukai..shoshokai...idk how to spell it...Midora's org... is just sooo...sooo...hilarious...I believe.
-
All this makes me wonder what the Bishokukai would do during a campout. Would they roast weenies in front of Starjyun?
-
Sigh, I'm divided, it was a cool chapter, but it pisses me off that the cooking and KoMANtsu have become a no show, at least for now.
-
The chapter felt too rushed, in my opinion. It almost feels like Shima wanted to get the damn thing over with so he can go to his hair appointment or something.
-
I must have really had far less interest in the cooking fest than I thought. I don't feel like I got jipped out of anything.
-
Just a little thing here: When I gave Aohige the script my friend gave me, I didn´t have the picture with the kanji I added here. We could just go by both translations. Jerry being in charge of Food Development and PR and Elg of Assistant Cooking and Income
@Kaba:

I will make sure all the Toriko fans who do artworks read this.
-
Ugh, this whole arc is being rushed WAAAAAAY too much. Sure, I enjoyed the last page, but why throw out the entire cooking contest!? The manga is about food and we didn't even get to see any cooking during the COOKING contest.
Also we're getting close to finishing this thread!
-
Just 9 more pages to go!
Bruce Faulconer riff
-
When we start the v2. topic we could leave some useful links like the Toriko Blogs of tumblr and whatnot. Also I think it´d be nice to share fanarts like we did about 100 pages ago c:
-
I want to be excited, but I'm just not feeling it. Shimabu hasn't made me feel connected to any of the characters besides Komatsu, really.
-
That last page gave me goosebumps.
-
For anyone who might watch the anime here.
(Next week's episode).
-
Is that what's-her-name narrating?Is that broad still in there?
-
just at the end of the episodes, fortunately… If we have to see her ever again getting into canon scenes, bothering the characters....
-

Ugh seriously. I get that they wanted more of a lady presence but I'd rather that the anime expanded Rin's role or something than what they did with Tina. But I'm totally fine with her news segments at the end of episodes.
-
well at least the fighting will start in about 3 chapters. felt like the cook off was just a filler tbh.
-
So, is Zaus just standing here in a spot hearing the situation and doing nothing?
ps: Plz don't go with that shit with Zaus=Star
-
Here's more questions/discussion thoughts.
Any bets on
(a) which characters (heroes and villains) will get to show off their moves? (example, if the next time we see Mansam the enemies around him are already defeated it doesn't count as "showing off", but having one cool attack like how the four kings beat the four beasts before they became one does)
(b) what matches will actually play out extensively? (the fight doesn't/shouldn't count if it's akin to Chiyo vs Chin Chinchin and we only see a set up and aftermath)There's a jaded part of me that's only thinking Toriko vs Starjun will be the only full matchup seen to be honest (and no, stuff like "there's too many characters to show off all the matches" isn't a good excuse for not showing any fights). I will gladly accept being proven completely wrong though.
But how about the rest of you? Will the Four Kings get their first human matches since the Mammoth arc? Will the chefs show off their fighting prowess? Will Mansam be shown doing something?
-

I'm sort of afraid that's what's gonna happen, mainly because Shima is terrible sometimes. It's kinda like when we spent the entirety of FI showing the three Princes and got told how strong they are several times yet when they were about to fight we just had the whole thing offscreened ?
This is kinda the one thing I'll give Kubo over both Oda and Shimabukuro and that's he shows fights of people who aren't main characters (a bit too much, to the point of main characters never actualy having a fight outside of that gormless prick with the orange hair) and actualy doesn't skip them. He struggles and gets hopelessly overwhelmed far too much with other basic things but that is the one thing I can say both Oda and Shima consistently dissapoint me with.
I know Oda at least wants to not spend five years on every arc, given how he's already working like a decade overtime, but I think his fear makes him skip interesting and potentialy promising sequences and marginalising seemingly interesting characters (Den and Shirley, anyone ?) and Shima seems to have been "infected" by the same kinda fear and, seeing how much Oda has had to work, decided to not even attempt to give a fuck most iof the time.
-
Well, we have the Four Heavenly Kings, the Top 100 chefs, Kousairou, Kuriboh, the Gourmet Yakuza, the Gourmet Knights, Melk the Second, Mansam, Rin and, not to forget, Zonge there. So there are a lot of possibilities.
The most people will probably just fight against the GT Robos though. The most chances as of now I think go to the 4HK, Buranchi, Setsuno, Zaus and the two 0th Biotope members.I somehow get the feeling btw, that Tommyrod could die in this, seeing how he's the most fleshed out Bishokukai member already and there should be losses at both sides at least imo. Which I actually find rather sad, because Tommy is my favorite.
Also I wonder if the "Joa alliance" will act up in the events.
-
I kinda hope that livebearer encounters grinpatch the possibility of both of then doing scary faces to each other to try intimidate the other would be glorius.
-
I second Smiley´s idea. And I wanna see the three vice chefs fight. And of course all the branch chiefs do something
-
I think we'll see fights involving the 4 Kings (but all of them shoud be considerable weaker than Strajun), Starjun and the "high ranking" Bishokukai (the least is Jerryboy), some of the chefs (at least Zaus, Sestuno, Buranchi anch Chiyo), Mansam (and maybe Shigematsu) and Kousairou and Kuribou. Maybe there will be a giant brawl but I hope Kousairou will rise over all.
