! we even get a naked butt this week. Augh the homoeroticness is overflowing lol. Oh well I havent been creeped out by toriko for a long time now. If it goes by the formula we'll get pure beat down next week. Chill.
Toriko II: Ichiryuu's Slimy Insides!!
-
-
! Starjun must be aware of Toriko's autophagy. He must be aware of it!
! Why should it matter if Starjun is aware of Autography? Doesn't change the fact that Toriko used it. (And he definitely does given he's the one that brought up Autography in te first place during the Regal Mammoth arc) Did you really want an offscreen anticlimactic defeat?
-
! Seriously? This is so wrong.
I kind of assumed that Rin could be partially justified by Toriko's saliva containing gourmet cells.
But not Komatsu's tears.
Yeah, if emotional moments are all it takes to get a powerup, there's no point to anything now. All that hunting and eating igredients to get stronger stuff feels worthless.
I'm aware that autophagy is quite powerful, but I'm not buying that it'll be enough to take out Starjin, not with Toriko losing offscreen last chapter. The punch this chapter was a sneak attack, but if he can actually fight 1 on 1 next chapter, then autophagy is pratically broken.
! Last chapter was bad enough with Chiyo losing instantly for bullshit reasons and Setsuno taking virtually no damage from the same attack.
! EDIT: never mind, I can't tell if Toriko actually eats Komatsu's tears from the raw scans. -
! I don´t recall you guys having that much of a problem with getting sudden energy out of emotions when Zebra got mega enraged at the Nitro back on Gourmet Pyramid

! EDIT: never mind, I can't tell if Toriko actually eats Komatsu's tears from the raw scans.! Him activating Autography isn't really the issue for me. It's part of Toriko's move set for awhile now and the downside is he has to eat something afterwards, so it can pretty much be a fail safe whenever he's injured. Well, depending on the translation this could be false so we'll see…
! What you post reminded me of though is that I'm fearing the pacing is picking up again since we're focusing on Toriko. -

! An offscreen defeact could work, in my opinion, if it's Toriko's. But it's ok for Toriko using autophagy (though it's awful) and the fight going on. What I meant is that Starjun could not lose this fight, better, Toriko could not be able to win. Longer autophagy fits really well with Food Immersion (if it's the case). But I think it's necessary for Starjun to win this fight.
@Skadi:! I don´t recall you guys having that much of a problem with getting sudden energy out of emotions when Zebra got mega enraged at the Nitro back on Gourmet Pyramid
! That was unique. I think autophagy is becoming redundant, unless it's made useless by Starjun.
! Anyway, it may sound weird but after Sani, Buranchi, Zebra and Setsuno-Neo affair, a whole Toriko based chapter (with this amount of "flashback") is quite annoying. -
! Even before reading the scan I didn't believe that shit of the tears, I knew it was Autophagy.
-
Stuff like this is why Toei felt the need of throwing in a character like Tina
-
! Maybe i'm mistaken, but from the pics, it doesnt look like the "tears" were what revived him. Yes komatsu cried and he had his touching moment, but autophagy was what did it and was the next step in this fight for toriko anyway. every time he's on the verge of death the demon comes, so it seems logical to me.

! Well of course is logical. The tears thing was a poor attempt of someone trying to shove us down our throats the lie that Toriko drank Komatsu's tears like some kind of Senzu Bean.
-
Spoiler tag that.
Also,
! Dude that's harsh, it's obviously not the tears. Don't just brand the one that's providing you spoilers as a liar for making a slight joke that no one got.
-
! Food Immersion for sure has something to do with this but there seems to be a Komatsu effect on all of this. When komatsu arrived last for gathering foods at the festivals tournament ingredients were shining. Komatsu may have the same effect for ingredients on Torikos body.

! I know Idol well and also know he wasn't serious with that. Don't be mistaken, the one I was calling liar was someone from other forums who tried to make it like Komatsu's tears were an ingredient.

-
! all i ca say is the art looks really good in this chapter. Oh and that the scene with toriko and his inner demon made me laugh
-
! So basicaly from the spoilers this happen:ninja:
Still haven't see the images. -
! Starjun got literally punched into next week
-
Chapters out: http://www.batoto.net/read/_/170669/toriko_ch233_by_hi-wa-mata-noboru/1
I kinda wished that a little more would have happened.
-
looking forward to Toriko's revival, hope he showes us some new stuff, now, the fight begins…
-
Man reading through the spoiler tags after I read the chapter is pretty funny. I actually kinda liked how it was handled. It answered the question of how Toriko would cope without food actually being around when he used that ability. Which by the way I don't feel he's used too much.
Yes Toriko being called back by tears was hokey…But eh, that's common on harem manga :ninja:.
I like that Toriko's inner demon likes a relaxed dinning atmosphere. No shirt, no shoes, no pants, no problem.
-
i still love this page http://www.batoto.net/read/_/170669/toriko_ch233_by_hi-wa-mata-noboru/11
Makes me laugh everytime for some stupid reason.And yeah so toriko can now store food. Like a bear preparing for winter lol
-
Reading the actual chapter.. it wasnt as weird as I thought it would be. In fact I think its handled pretty well. I really like the inner demon, hes pretty awesome. (Lookat how he drinks I wish I could do that. Saves so much time). I understand people's reaction though. The spoiler makes it look like he drank komatsu's tears or something… ew.
I dont remember which poster said it but yeah.Starjun got punched into next week.
-
Hey that's actually cool indeed.
-
Yeah, chapter was decent. Too bad Komatsu was being utterly predictable and cliche.
I'm okay with the autophagy explaination. Let's say Toriko normally eats his stored food at a given rate, then he could theoretically eat the food way faster to recover energy or power-up. It's not very good, but it at least works. The major problem I can see is he's likely to have eaten every type of food he's storing at least once before, so his gourmet cells wouldn't get much of a boost.
Still not buying that it'll be anywhere near enough to defeat Starjin.

Heh, I miss the days of small, misleading spoilers and shitty translated games. Those were amusing.
-
I mentally cringe when I think about how that episode is going to be animated. "TOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIKOOOOOOO-SSSSAAAAAAANNNN!"
Also it cracks me up that Starjun called Komatsu kid. If you're still being called kid at 25, I think you'd have to rethink your image.
-
So I wonder why Master Chin wasn't able to use some kind of similar ability like autophagy during his confrontation with Chiyo. He stored that much nourishment and still needed to be healed by Chiru. I really hope Shima will make Toriko lose this fight.

Chin did manage to critically wound Chiyo, but I guess in the end he couldn't fight to his fullest against his wife. I mean, he is partly responsible for Chiyo falling into despair.
Anyway, as much as I love Toriko, I couldn't help but be reminded of Inuyasha because of all those panels with Komatsu yelling "TORIKO-SAN!!".
-
Woo! All caught up and what a ride this has been. Wonderful manga, the Festival being interrupted by the Bishokukai was one of the most interesting moments yet. It's unbelievable the amount of places we've been in what seems like such a short time. The character designs in this manga, man. Easily one of the best aspects. They're all just so unique. That chapter where all the ranked chefs were introduced just one after another after another like the world was raining chefs .. was actually one of the most entertaining chapters of Toriko to me just for the insane amount of info crammed into every panel about them. Each chef was given a personality and background instantly. I think the part where I was most absorbed in the manga was all the way from Zebura's release to the defeat of the Level 92 Salamander Sphynx. He even showed us calorie consumption meters, like damn.
As for the most recent chapter, I mean cheesy sure (inner spirit confrontation PLUS emotional revival), but I didn't mind it. It was nice to catch up to a chapter that took us through some of Komatsu and Toriko's travels. Also, Toriko and Komatsu are manly friends. And even if they aren't I suspend my disbelief enough to where I don't really consider it homo-eroticism, not that I'd really care if it was that.

Don't forget that the majority of that episode would be Komatsu screaming "TOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIKOOOOOOO-SSSSAAAAAAANNNN!"
But thankfully the real chapter isn't as lousy as the spoiler made it to be. It's quite a decent romantic chapter.
Btw, just to be clear, is this a harem manga or a reverse harem? -

no Zebra = crap chapter

Chapter out http://www.batoto.net/read/_/170669/toriko_ch233_by_hi-wa-mata-noboru/1 Such bromance.:ninja:
-
A flashback to earlier chapters feels like such a page-waster to me.
-

yeah.. agree with you. i don't understand why Shima did that. and he even skip the fight and suddenly give us a flashback or whatever it called.
but other than that, i really like this chapter. the art is really good this weak. and I really like Shimabukuro new direction with this new power. so now, it is likely that most of the top fighters or might have some super special legendary monster in them and they can tap that power the stronger they got.. -
i feel like i've just read a naruto episode
-
This is the gayest chapter so far.
And I mean that as a compliment. Learn how it's done, shojo.
-
Toriko and Komatsu should just go to an hotel after this. :P

Now the real fight starts. But still I hope Starjun will take Toriko by surprise.
I predict what is going to happe: Toriko seems to have the upper hand when finally Starjun's Gourmet Cell evolve too and the situation is reversed. When Starjun is going to give Toriko the final blow, Joa comes and cause a big turmoil and both Toriko and Starjun are koed. -

-
Toriko isn't gay…Tommy is.
-
What a pointless chapter. Protip: the whole inner revival thing, getting up at the most desperate moment only works when we've seen the fight so that we can relate to the anguish of the character and the moment feels earned. Doing it for an off-screen battle is just a waste of time.
-
Toriko: This is Fairy Tail.
This were exactly my thoughts, too.
And I dont seem to be alone with not caring enough for this upcoming fight, especially if it means, that the coco-grinpatch fight might be sacrified. I would have very much prefered some of the random fights from last week instead.

But then so was setting up several rounds of the competition that were completely skipped over.
As was giving a full page introduction to those who dropped out during said skipped portion of the competition and who do not seem to even matter in this fight.

Not as bad as I thought it might be, but we the story didn't realy go anywhere this chapter.
-
And I believe that is our first blatant friendship speech fueled powerup/revival
-
Toriko wants the D, he can't die without having a taste of Komantsu.
-
Don't like the chapter,Naruto style why all this pages wasted for flashback,
the demon inside Toriko is nice I like the part talking about Ichiryuu full course if toriko eat them his Gourmet Cells will get a massive upgrade
-
@Essam:
the demon inside Toriko is nice I like the part talking about Ichiryuu full course
He was talking about Acacia's full course.
-
@Señor:
He was talking about Acacia's full course.
I was thinking the same but Ichir always refer in the manga as the old man, think about it Acacia's full course will be the ultimate goal for every one and don't think toriko will wait untill forever to obtain it to evolve his cell but Ichir full course is possible also Toriko start with it
Edit , it's that man not old man my bad but if its Acacia why refer to that man

Btw, just to be clear, is this a harem manga or a reverse harem?It's still a harem. But reverse harem I think only applies to one female tons of males. I'll have to double check that lol.
