Description
Hokay, so I've been reading this crazy manga entitled Toriko. Think Fist of the North Stat meets One Piece meets super luxurious food. A manga about Toriko the Bishokuya (Luxurious Food Provider) and Komatsu the Chef (he is on his way to becoming one of the most epic chefs in the world, which in a world centred around food is a Big Thing)The manga is full of crazy awesome adventures (like travelling into the insides of humongous super Mamoth or a Garden among clouds on the boarder of atmosphere or an Ice Hell which makes Antarctica look like a Summer Resort in Caribeans, and everywhere our heroes must face powerful monsters, it's a Eat or be Eaten kind of world. Damn even the kitchenware is Badass here, a knife made by the Master Sharpener Melk the Second could cut a Mountain in Half.
Oh and did I mention that the author is friends with Eiichiro Oda ??

Takamura Mamoru (Hajime no Ippo) beat up a bear? Toriko killed and ate a monstrous panda and it wasn't even that big a deal. Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate (One Piece) can create earthquakes? Toriko can cut a crevice in the earth by accident. Guts severed his arm and replced it with a cannon? Toriko had his arm chewed off (blasted off in the anime) and threw a punch with his still bleeding stump!

And Jack Rakan lost all his limbs but slapped on replacements, burst out of another dimension by being awesome, blew up a mountain by turning his body into a laser and later dodged Reality Warping Powers with disco moves.
It's hard to compare badasses outside their respective series XD

Don't forget Asura from Asura's Wrath destroying gods the size of planets, cathing a blade that can pierce the planet, fight the planets will itself, and then become bigger then everythign else besides the final bad guy and punch through said badguy's forehead, with said bad guy being biiger then galaxies.

I really like Toriko... It's a really interesting manga! I'm waiting for more chapters~
Personally, I don't particularly like the artwork (too dragonball Z-ish) But I still fangirl Sani/Sunny.
It proves that the story has such really developed characters that I can move past the artwork (In which, seriously, there are too many muscles *sweatdrops*)
So YAY TORIKO~!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah the muscles may be too much, especially when Toriko loads one of his super attacks.
Art aside Toriko has a really fun setting, I mean not every day you get an epic story about hunting and cooking food XD
Yay Indeed.

I totally love this manga and after reading a couple of days untill the part we are now (Back at the restaurant after "capturing" the Mellow Cola) I must say that each story arc is more epic than the last one.
I never saw Fist of the North Star so when I tried to compare Toriko with other series or movie I'd say:
Dragonball Z meets Iron Chef meets Jurassic Park
Just when I thought that Toriko himself was a total badass I was completely overwhelmed by Zebra. If Toriko is like Goku, then Zebra would be like Broly
I hope Toriko will put the Mellow Cola in his main course as a drink.

Couldn't agree more, the craziness and improbability of each arc gets kicked up to eleven. It seriously reminds me of Straw Hat Pirates and their crazy adventures
Not quite there yet (DBZ) the power levels aren't right but yeah there are similarities.
Yeah Zebra is a real monster considering what he is capable off, and for all his jerkass character he does have a small heart of gold.
We'll see though considering that Zebra put it in his I doubt it. Let's wait and see.

It's interesting because in a sense Komatsu can 'take down' ingredients of high capture level due to the 'difficulty of cooking' clause.
Since acquiring the ingredient in this case is only half the battle and the other half is to make it edible, you can say Komatsu is on the level of Toriko already.
Not only that but he managed to reproduce with modern day (+ endangered) ingredients relatively easy to acquire (for a 'mere' five star restaurant) the same taste of a legendary soup after tasting it once.
The only thing he lacks is some minor survival capability in order to enter some harsher environment, but for a normal guy he sure as hell can survive the craziest things.
Maybe he is already above average but didn't realized it yet due to which who he is always hanging around?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well that's the whole point of cooperation between Chefs and Bishokuya, ones have the powers and abilities to take down various monsters while the others the knowledge and skills to properly cook them ^^ Using RPG terms, they are on the same level just in different Classes
Yeah that's what troubles me. Komatsu just doesn't have the physical power to withstand stuff like High Gravity or other "Everything is trying to kill you" environments.
Overshadowed by Awesome aka Toriko and his "brothers" ?? Yeah it may be true.

It's so awsome!

I will, every time I read it I get hungry.
π: 0 β©: 1
[laughs] Yeah they DO warn people, on tvtropes, that when you read Toriko you should have something to eat handy XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Thats why I always read it before dinner, LOL!
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha yeah, increased appetite and enjoyment from the meal XD
π: 0 β©: 1
So I'm not the only one then.
Seriously, every time I finish reading Toriko, I get the urge to pig out.
It's gotte me into more trouble then I can count let me tell you, especially after grocery days ^_^!

Andarion I aplaud u for ur replying with great interst way for replying(if that makes sense out of my mind)(btw i read all of that and saw all the links awesome reminders)
epic manga nuf said.
my favorite part is after u eat the century soup. and the fact that sanni wont even try it.
π: 0 β©: 1
You mean answering to comments (sorry it took me so long 
Yeah Toriko is a great manga, fascinating play with the shonen genre XD
Haha yeah cause you make a Gaudy face after you eat it, the Wall Penguin was totally adorable, Tommyrod is a real bastard for killing it's parents like that...
π: 0 β©: 0
Love the manga! I hope the anime delivers just as much.
I think my favorite part so far is how Zebra looks so much like Raoh from Fist of the North Star.
π: 0 β©: 1
[checks the guy on google] Yeah there is some similarity, never watched the Fist so I don't know much about his character
π: 0 β©: 1
Even his clothes are similar (sans armour and cape of course), but mainly it's because he's on the same level, if not more, than Toriko (kenshiro of the series) and is generally more feared/worshipped depending on the situation.
Seriously, the guy can kill you by whispering in your ear, how scary is that?
π: 0 β©: 0
I love Toriko, it's torture waiting for updates.

[nods sadly] It is this way with every manga, what a poor tortured little creates, we manga readers, are.

Itβs an oni! Quick! Throw beans at it! *Camie style face fail.* WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EATING THEM!?
I need to thank you for my bottom of my heart for this awesome manga! 2-3 days reading (and some food less) and I feel awesome! To see such hardcore martial arts manga type character like Toriko in a series to depicts people eating (AND IT LOOKS AWESOME!), gives serious laughter, brings out tears (Penguins parents...) has such a good drawing style, explanations that actually make sense (all those things about cells and shivering) and crazy techniques (I have wished so long to see hand-leg knife, plus being used as air pressure) and after 128 chapters it continues to keep me at the edge of my seat and seems to be just keeping its pace. God damn it, ZEBRA!
This is some huge rice ball. XD
[link]
And 15 kg shit? Respect, man!
His dream of completing his menu is so hotblooded shounen hero like and yet so different from anything I have seen. Gives Big Eater trope a completely new definition. Not to mention his house that completely overshadows all those witch houses.
Special notice to this awesome creature!
[link]
[link]
[link]
One more thing awesome here are the hybrids. I have a thing for funky creatures and even bursted out laughing during one of Berserkβs dark moments at one especially weird monster. Luckily I can now enjoy all sorts of freaks without the bad feeling Berserkβs evil that associated with them gave me.
Drunkard Melon? Hoo boy...
[link]
Big eater.

This is manly love. Hey Garp!
[link]
Siblings.

Badass Wolf got leveled up in badass. If that is even possible.
[link]
I am at a loss of words...
[link]
Garp and DUVAL at the same time?
[link]
This is nice entrance.
[link]
Hey birdy, birdy, birdy!
[link]
[link]
Fascinating pet.
[link]
[link]
Truth!

Toriko has joined the βPunch-with-bloody-stompβ club.

Plants>meat.

Hey there Furher!
[link]
Itβs BA!

Too much old school badass for my mortal eyes!

The king of animals on her ride.

Strange how lot of physical violence does not disturb me. Wounds, blood gushing. But this creeped me out. Maybe it is some primal fear in front of a species that is so different from creatures of flesh. Weak and yet so powerful. Invading human body, spreading. Animalβs fangs can be pulled out the moment the animal is killed, but those deep roots can spread deep into human body and completely take it over.

Sauron created Ring with volcano. Toriko makes popcorn with volcano.

Nice going guys.

Okay, this is FUCKING EPIC!

Pig head? I heard that one Roman emperor drank from thing that was shaped to look like a penis.

So much food porn can make you very (horny) hungry.

Never before has killing bugs been so epic.

Coco reminded me a bit of Piccolo. Must have been his turban. It is rare to see a good character to use poison. Magellan wasnβt bad, but he was Luffyβs enemy. But having a bit melancholical Coco to be poison god is just plain brilliant.
Melk II gave me Lan Fan vibes. And I adore Lan Fan.
I was thinking for quite some time of who does Komatsu remind me. Then it came. Sasuke! You know, that Sasuke, who worked as ninja? For Kuno. No, not that laser eye duck head dude.

Cause they are delicious [purrs the Oni with delight as he chows down the beans] Mind passing me the garlic ??
[Andarion nods seriously] You Don't use food against the Gourmet Oni XD
To be honest I must apologize T_T I read this manga back when it started to be published but forgot about it after first 2-3 chapters, if I didn't I could show it to you earlier. But yeah the manga is awesome and now they are making an anime XD Zebra is a crazy awesome up to eleven and now it turns out he has a sonar/radar XD
Toriko lives by the creed βLive Big, Eat Big, Shit Big and Kick Big ASSβ XD
Haha yeah I love this putting shonen tropes into a manga about eating XD As I said once, Japanese people can even make, making bread look epic XD
[scratches his chin] I saw something like this before... but I just can't remember where [murmurs with irritation]
Yeah there are SO many weird creatures here and we haven't even seen the Gourmet World, your love for weird animals will be fullfiled Xd Still... yeah, the creatures here just wants to eat you, not rape you, devour your soul and turn you into a zombie or something...
So... is it a melon that buys vodka all the time ??
Big eater, Fast Eater AND WHERE THEY HELL DOES HE STUFF ALL THAT FOOD ?? Is his stomach a friggin black hole or something XD ??
It's a love distilled from the hearts of manly courageous men !![screams Kamina-style] You better remember it!!
Siblings β people who share genetical similarity and wage wars among themselves all the time, Do Not Approach, capable of instantaneous allying themselves and kicking your ass
There is no limit to Badass Levels, Split the Heavens and level up Beyond the Impossible XD
Heh it cracks me up how this Silverback tries to haul ass XD
[link]
β¦ Same here, weird creatures fill this world I'm telling ya
Good thing he inherited the Badass levels from Garp rather than Duval XD
Evil maybe he is (though he seems to fall into Relatively Noble Demon) but badass he is so very much
Haha how fun, author re-used the design, how do you think do those Pseudo thingies use their similarity to that Real Badass Bird as survival mechanism like βHey look I look just like that bird that can rip your ass off so stay clear from meβ
Haha the thing looks seriously adorable XD In a Ugly Cute way
Truth indeed, it's a shame that he doesn't practice what he preaches XD Well with a Master whose creed is βBreak any rule into unrecognizable piecesβ it's only natural I guess
Haha when I saw this scene first I KNEW you'll love this manga XD
Food Chain in this world is messed up beyond belief XD
Thought the exactly same thing XD Japanese sure love to make fun of him don't they ??
Naaah he just looks like him, if it was BA then Gourmet World would have been conquered long ago XD
A total Badass Grandpa with Badass Moustache XD What you'd expect from a World of Badass where even knives and plates are badass XD
Truly that's the King of Beasts for you,
Yeah I can understand that maybe it's a bit like when you are at the dentist and when you are in the chair you are at his/her mercy
Toriko β Where even making popcorn is a deed worth writing a Saga about it XD
Gods better be ready cause Toriko and other Gourmets are coming for them XD
Doesn't this Straw guy remind you of Tsukuyomi ??
The food that ends all wars, Truly epic and doesn't that bald old guy with a mustache and beard remind you of Kamesenin from Dragon Ball ??
People sure have strange interests... maybe he was gay ?? Two pleasures in one time period ^^
Even tvtropes warns that you should read it with a snack handy XD
It's a shame that Real Mafia and Yakuza aren't that good-natured and epic
[nods] Bad Powers Good People indeed, Coco is one of the nicest people in this manga. I wonder when we'll see Magellan again
Not just you, she is so adorable ^^ Hehe now we have love interests for both Toriko and Komatsu
Ah yeah I remember, he looked kinda rat-faced didn't he ?? And was abused by the Kuno siblings... what a bunch of jerks. Btw. Doesn't Komatsu means something along βproblematicβ or βtroublesomeβ ?? [checks a dictionary]Hmm I guess not

...Toriko has scarred my mind. I'm not sure if it is for good or evil or other, but there's a scar. I can see myself in that world having a Spork as a weapon. Really. Of course, I have a friend who asked me this: "How do you kill a Dragon with a Spork!!!?" ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
No worries, just train with it and you'll take down dragons like they are nothing. There is this guy Head Waiter Alfaro who can cut powerful monsters to pieces with kitchen tables, or Komatsu's new kitchen knife which can slash mountains apart. There ARE no weak weapons in Toriko XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I shall train with my Spork(s) so that they shall become a well-respected, and versatile, untensil!!! ^^
π: 0 β©: 2
your spork shall pierce the heavens!

Fufu and you'll be taking Regal Mamoths with both hands tied behind your back XD

...I'm not so sure about that. Of course, I'd prefer being Befriended by Nanoha than being in Toriko. Some of that world scares the crap out of me. O_O
π: 0 β©: 1
[sighs dreamily] Oh yes anyone would prefer to be befriended by Nanoha... except girls, those would prefer to be befriended by Negi. How far are you ?? Did you get to Ice Hell and Century Soup arc ?? If not then you have No Right to talk about Toriko being scary XD
π: 0 β©: 1
It's been a long time since I went all the way through, but I went through to Ice Hell arc, then I kind of got distracted with other manga...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well if you ask me Tommyrod and that 4000-bones guy are pure High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
π: 0 β©: 2
is it me, or does tommyrod remind anyone 'vaguely' of both frieza and cell?
π: 0 β©: 0
Tommyrod...brrr...that guy is High Octane Nightmare Fuel and Dude looks like a Lady. All that added together with the Squicky ability and Minions.
π: 0 β©: 1
Truly... people should come up with a new work cause Squick doesn't give this fellow justice. He takes all the ugliness and scariness of bugs and cranks it up to eleven brrrr,
π: 0 β©: 1
Agreed, but Squick was the first description of it that popped into my head.
π: 0 β©: 1
Truly, when I first saw him I went into a prolonged EWWWW, UGHHHHH phase... and it didn't stop for quite some time...Truly the author can make some pretty nasty villains, the Bones guy was a bit squicky too, his "Lodging" aside, his skeleton was... Unnatural, disturbingly unnatural... and cool at the same time, very... Body-Armor'ish
π: 0 β©: 1
I avoid thinking about Squick. Makes my already disorganized mind a little less disorganized.
π: 0 β©: 1
[smiles sympathetically] Yes I can totally relate to that, this amount of quick can totally distract you... still it was good that the Wall Penguin was there, he was so cute that he made up for Tommy's awfulness.
