Toriko 270: The Final Key

Porn

More porn

Chi Chi appears in Toriko 270, and the man likes the ladies.  We find out that he is called the Taste Sage and was sorta, but not really, the combo partner of the old man.  I'll take this mean that they worked together a lot but also worked solo a great deal as well.  Anyways, Chi Chi has been living inside of this tree waiting for the four heavenly kings to arrive, how long exactly?  Not sure.  But the entire time I think its safe to say that this guy was just going to town on himself.  Cocoa finds stacks upon stacks of porn(left/below) inside this guys place.  Just out in the open for anyone to find, no shame what-so-ever.  After years and years of waiting for the four kings with nothing but these magazine we can assume that most of the pages are stuck together, the floor of the tree house makes the sticky noise when you walk on it, and with that invisible barrier hiding him who knows the sort of things he did in front of unsuspecting people with them never realizing it; just for the pure sexual thrill!!!!  (I mean who wouldn't right?)

Chi Chi

I also want to talk about the tree he lives in because I found this even more interesting than the Self Satisfying Sage who gets off on females outside of his own species(anyone else notice that too?)  Zebra right off the bat sends a voice cutter at the tree and there isn't a mark on it.  He even lets loose a sound bazooka from inside the tree and still nothing happens.  During the Human World saga Zebra was noted as being the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings.  Rightly so, the mans a BAMF, and he has - without doubt- gotten even stronger since the time skip.  BUT, is he "Toriko after living successfully int he gourmet world strong?"   I don't know.  Toriko takes a shot at the tree with a single ren nail gun.  The impact was enough to blow Sani and Tomatsu back, but it still doesn't damage the tree.  Who hit harder during this time Zebra or Toriko?

Kugi Punch!

Toriko saw Zebra's attack and if he gauged that a single shot nail gun (left)was a harder hit than what Zebra had done earlier (and we do not know how high his nail gun goes now) Toriko might be in the running to take the tittle of the strongest from Zebra.   We'll see what everyone is capable of in the gourmet world and have a better idea of their power levels then.

Toriko 269: Inherited Heart

Emperor's Ring

In Toriko 269 we get to see the animal partners of the four heavenly kings!(below)  They are training intensely and have gotten stronger as proven by them making the Emperor Ring(left), and its important to note that they are able to make this during sparing - so they are holding back. Things like capture levels or new abilities are still unknown at this time.


 Hey where's Darma Horse?

The Animals

Toriko shows up and greets Terry.  I'm guessing they have been apart the entire time skip but when they are next to each other Terry seems to be the same size as she was during the Four Beast saga.  Just a weird angle or did she really not grow?  I really don't think she is fully grow because we've seen pictures of Battle Wolves who are giants towering over entire forest.  Considering how much she has grown before any kind of massive time skip we should have seen a noticeable change in her size but personally I can't see any.  Hopfully we see a better shot of her in the next chapter to clear this up.

The old man and little Toriko

A nice short of Toriko's childhood(left) is revealed.  Its a good example of the kindness Toriko is capable of.  Even on the brink of starving to death he still didn't eat the bread that was given to him, he wanted to take it back to the village and share it with others.  Jiro and Setsuno share a moment at Ichiryu's grave in the gourmet world and even Komatsu seems to be get'n a little action from Nono.  Tommy shares a drink with Toriko and we find out that all the heavenly kings are going to the gourmet world.

Nono and Komatsu

Finally!  Some hot gourmet action!  It's exciting to know that we will get to see how strong the four kings are really gotten.  Did Toriko jump out ahead of everyone else living in the gourmet world or did the other three manage to compensate by intense training?  Can't wait to find out!

Toriko 268: The Miracle Egg

Komatsu

Chapter 268 was really cool.  In the last chapter the Billion Bird was brought to life/maturity.  With a little encouragement billions upon billions of birds come into being.  Immediately they are distributed through out the human world - a mass slaughter if ever there was any!  All the top chefs cook courageously in an effort to make the Billion Bird taste good. (left)

Billion Bird

 Everyone seems to succeed at this and they even recognized that every part of the billion bird can be used in one way or another; but only Komatsu, with his knack for hearing the ingredients, understands that the billion bird hasn't truly reached its potential just yet, in saying "I Never thought the Billion Bird was that bad tasting to begin with."  Meaning he knows that there is a delicious flavor within this creature that just needs to be brought out.  Now if it was mere coincidence or if he felt that this is what the ingredient needed its exactly clear because this is something that comes naturally to Komatsu.  He begins to compliment the bird and sympathize with it; and after hear these words the Billion Bird is so happy that this once ugly creature sprouts these gigantic wings of immense beauty. (right)

Sani "lashes" out.

It takes to the air and continued to transform into a great bird, almost phoenix like.  And then we do a close up shot of its anus, and eggs start to fall from it.  They take the eggs to share with the other Kings and Coco can tell that these eggs are different from before.  The first eggs came out when the bird was scared, but these came from compliments.  Its a very ying and yang sort of thing, fear and love if you will.  They crack the egg into wine glasses (baller) and its sorta gel like, and the yoke is displaced evenly throughout.  Toriko goes to take a sip of the egg and without realizing it ingest the entire thing.  His hair, his eye lashes, and nails all begin to grow at the rapid pace.  He comments how this happened in the gourmet world a lot.  We also saw this with the bubble fruit.  Sani's hair gets out of control(left), Zebra doesn't look too fazed by it, and Coco turns into some pretty boy(below.)

Sexy and he knows it Coco

Now here is where the best part comes in.  Something happened that in the Manga that hasn't happened for a very long time.  Toriko added an item to his full course!(below)  The Billion Bird Egg is now taken the slot of his drink.  I personally feel very neutral about this.  I thought the drink would of been a proper drink; but the curve ball of the Billion Bird ending up as a gourmet drink item was unexpected so its cool by me.  Also it strikes me as strange that with the entire time hes been in the gourmet word living side by side with the best ingredients on the planet he had not added even one more dish to his full course.  I hope they touch on that in a later chapter.
