Better wait for further info. Jiji knows what he's up, so I'm sure he'll explain what the others will be doing while the group in Area 6 captures ANOTHER.
On that note, Jiji's bulgin eyes freak me out, but the dude is hilarious.

So Jorio and Setsuno will be waiting for them somewhere close to area1 I guess.
I'm not surprised CENTER is the last ingredient to get. Up until Chiyo spilled the beans no one except Ichiryuu knew about its existence. There's also the fact Acacia's full course had only seven slots as opposed to eight.
Still GOD has always been Toriko's end goal.
But it's obviously now that him obtaining GOD will not be even close to the end of the series, as we will probably also go to space.
GOD and "beyond". This is where CENTER comes to play.
Center will Come to play to revival the earth when the destruction takes a place.
I don't know why, but I already love the "Back Hole Whale" Sea King. Design looks pretty menacing and seems to fit his name, "Moon". I wonder how much bigger it will be than Herakles and how they are going to "beat" it.
Is Moon the asteroid the size of the moon that fell in the black triangle?
Rather it was Moon the one that vanished the meteor into nothingness. Black Hole Whale, bitches.
Every area has nick name except area1.
SUNNY AND LIVEBEARER??? Well done Shima, well done. Something good is coming.
Nice chapter that set up the times that will head to their respective areas.
Toriko and Starjuun teaming up was expected.
Space Whale!
[hide][/hide]
I still remember when people were suggesting combos and someone came up with Sunny and Livebearer. It seemed and unlikely combo back then. Well…
Well, apart from Starjun + Toriko, the other pairings could not have been much worse, at least personality wise. Well played, Jiji. Almost seems like trolling from Shima.
So I'm guessing:
Area 5 needs high speed and/or radar. Brunch and Zebra both have high speed, Zebra has Radar.
Area 4: I have no idea what Livebearer adds to the table besides stolen knowledge and forbidden cooking, but at a guess he probably doesnt have GW data. Sunny has his hair so maybe they need precision. Also the garden sounds like a beautiful place, so Sunny'll probably like that, he needs something to offset Livebearer's faces after all.
Area 3: Poison, Poison, Poison. Made of Poison.
Area 2: Generic Plains, how fitting for Starjun/Toriko (okay, seriously, I have no idea about this one)
"Now that I have the time to say this: Sorry I cut your leg, almost killed you and kidnapped Komatsu."
Wow, I've never liked a chapter of Toriko so much since middle of Cooking Fest. I already disregarded it as a manga that I just look through each week for completion…but these pair-ups? I'm pumped. Livebearer having relevance again, finally getting the Tairan-Coco & Zebra-Brunch combos everyobe wanted...yes, yes, yes. Guess these people will become actaul combos by the end of the series.
Though it's still weird that the at first proclaimed goal of the manga is now relegated to a dish that only needs 2 people (even if it is Toriko & Star) to capture...still quite a bit before the final arc of it all.
! Whatever happened to needing to eat one part of the full course before being able to move on to the next? Eh, whatever.
That was never a necessity. The 0th biotope tried to go for each ingredient/area at the same time. If it was impossible to do it without following that order, they would all go to area 8 before moving on.
And lol at Taleran, a group of all stars and.. him.
Tylan was on the heroes of the Four Beast arc, ranked 19th in the IGO Chef Rankings, made it to the final round of the Cooking Festival and was strong enough to avoid capture or serious injury from the Bishokukai. He's legit as they come.

Livebearer knew the true capture method for PAIR.

Would it be better if sunny was with Yuda.
why would you replace the possibly best character in the series with some underdeveloped character
I can't even
It was kinda random. . .but I gotta say, I'm pumped. Pumped to see secondary characters do some stuff, even if I don't particularly know them, like this Tairan guy.
It's weird we're going this route of splitting up to hunt incredibly difficult ingredients with just two guys after seeing how strong the 8 kings are, but I'll bite. Nice to see those chapters where the 0th biotope guys where ambush in some different locations now seems a bit less unnecessary. It's cool to see those locations again, it gives more context to their final battle. . .that we never saw.
Gotta say I'm the most interested in the sea beast. A whale that sucks light, cool. Now, focus on that adventure first, please, even if I feel there's just too many chefs in there for every one of them to do something, but if Shima can manage to do that, props to him.

LoL at the thread title.
Whale king looks awesome, and I don´t mind this change of pace. I think I would get bored by this "area by area" setup quickly. This mixes things up a bit.

Wouldn´t be surprised if he made that team because of that.

Who replaced Zonge?
Anyone think ichiryuu could come back with center?
I wonder if Midora is going after one of the Blue Nitros. That would be a pretty interesting fight and I hope he dies. He was really only an interesting enemy when everyone hated him and wanted to stop his ambitions. Now they're helping him eat more and trying to serve him Acacia's full course. Freaking ruined his bad guy appeal.
Wow! This chapter is pure hype! I freaking love it:D
I just love starrjun
hes so cool
I'm not so sure but this could be the first time Starjun shows some really interesting cooking knowledge (like the chef he's said to be).
Chinchin and his wife aren't good enough to go on their own what a shame.
I love the pairings, and we probably got the new combos that everyone knew we'd have.
I'm kinda excited to see the fun interactions.
Also if Kewl (or anyone with who's confident enough really) can explain to me what Shima means by greatest of the eight kings means, was it great strength, capture level or anything else ?

I think that it means that he is the hardest King to fight against, given the fact that he lives in the ocean which gives him a great advantage against everyone who wants to fight him.
The Whale King si said to have the greatest power among the Eight Kings.
Any bets on them getting eaten by the whale and having to get the ingredient inside the whale?
I just noticed something. In the area 5/zebra page's panel, you can see a Devil Serpent in the mix, or at least it resembles one.
I am so glad that the Ocean 8 King is a Whale and not a shark or kraken. A freakin 'Gravity Whale' sounds beast in and of itself; it's like someone read my mind and submitted a perfect combination of the 'Neutron Shrimp' and 'Gulper Whale' that I never got around to. The fact that it is likely the most powerful Beast King and probably the size of the moon is icing on the cake.
The pairings are great too, especially Sunni and Livebearer; I am tempted to count the number of times "Disgustin'!" is shouted.
Chapter is 10/10
A thought on why CENTER is named so: Area 1's the landmass on the other side of the planet, opposite from human world, and thus a "center" of the world.
Makes sense why it's the last area, if you imagine it as everybody splitting up and reconverging on the opposite side.
I wonder if Zebra will get a Dragon King as a partner in Area 5.
I'm guessing NEWS will become Zebra Main Dish.
NEWS is a meat dish, though. I was expecting him to add ANOTHER to his course seeing as the Fish course is still open but I guess that's not so likely
@Purple:

I don't see any reason one course's meat dish couldn't be someone else's Main dish.
Also, I don't think it's ever been explicitly said but it seems like it's an unwritten rule that you can only add something you've personally captured and eaten for yourself to your full course.

Normally that'd have some leeway but especially in the case of Acacia's full course it seems to imply that those are the places those dishes belong

True. If that's the case for anything it'd Acacia's Full Course. Still didn't something like this happen before? I want to say it was the Jewel Meat. Both Sunny and Toriko wanted it but as different parts of their Full Course. Might even have been Main vs Meat, but I'm not sure enough of my memory.

True, and that's why in any other case it'd be fine, but it does seem odd a bit to not align it with the "World's full course"
But hey it's Zebra so he can probably do whatever he wants lol

Heh, yeah. If anything telling him it'd be practically sacrilege would only encourage him. Though the sacrilege part may change given the revelations we're starting to get about Acacia.
Center literally means center. Remember what coco's devil said to him [hide][/hide] so my guess center will be underground or area 1 will be underground world.
That would actually make sense.
Air is literally air.
Pair soup comes from a pair.
Another is probably from "another world", related to the back channel.
News I have no idea.
The entire drink of Atom may really be a single atom.
Earth… i guess you eat the ground, or part of it.
God is the divine dish.
And center has in center of the world.
The only one that really makes no sense to me is News.
Well, it's hard to know anything about atoms and earth without news, i guess.
By the way the comment from Coco's Poison reminds me of Magi's Djinn concepts with unique personalities and histories. How the fuck a demon could know about qualifications and where the entrance is?

2 chapters ago we learned that in the back channel gourmet demons dwell, waiting to find a host to awaken once again. Vice versa, if a person dies(the physical body) he(gourmet demon) returns to the back channel/spirit world and waits for another opportunity.
Thus Coco probably isn't his first host. Also to the theory of Center being in the core of the planet. I get a really ''Lost World' vibe from it, sounds perfect!
