Shounen Toriko by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

[BlackHair]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

I believe the first Melk is down there to create weapons for some kind of upcoming war. Probably linked with the intelligent beasts, which looks like the GT Robots. Whom Toriko met at Sky Garden. The IGO President was rather surprised that those beats are already in the human world. So I believe there will be a fight, for which the first Melk is creating weapons out of Melk Star Dust to fight them, for the past 6 years.

Just a theory though. I hope there is more to the first melk than just a mini arc.

Very soon it will probably join the big 3 or we will have to rename it to the big 4 within the next year

I don't get why Bleach is still on the top list...

From here:

Spoiler

Verification: pending
初代メルクは声が小さすぎて皆に誤解されていた。
別に寡黙な男では無く、ただ単に声が小さいだけだった。
初代メルクはあの石が無いとまともに会話ができない。
二代目を譲っているのに、二代目メルクにすら声が届いていなかった・・・。

Melk's small voice creates misunderstanding to everyone, including Melk II. He's no reticent fellow, only his voice is small when there's no stone (some particular stone, that is) nearby.

I'll wait for ohana (2ch) to see whether hers corresponds to this spoiler.

Maybe Melk II is creating her own thoughts from things she can't hear and understand. Melk II is probably wrong because she hears the bad things that her master never said. She has a low profile and she probably thinks that her master didn't believe in her. But maybe her master finally found someone whom he could leave his shop to thus finally allowing him to go downstairs

Nice theory Black Hair, I like it

Well a mini arc (+ previous ones too) itself isn't bad. I am sure they'll have some meaning later on (or maybe now). Toriko has struggled some adventures by which he will become stronger than he was during his last fight against tommyrod. Yeah, never say never that Melk is part of the older generation (Setsuno, Jirou, master of Teppei) and thus they might prepare themselves and the younger generation for upcoming bad events

Aha. So actually Melk I had given Melk II the "II" part, but since his voice is sooooo small...

It corresponds to the other spoiler, which actually is written by T (2ch), known spoiler writer of OP.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Toriko 122 MS is out.

 

[Samui]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

So we've "Air" now, too. Interesting. Is it possible that "God" is in fact made of Earth, Air and the remaining ingredients?

Can't wait to see how Toriko is going to obtain the Melk Stardust.

Also, Melk the 1st is awesome. Laughed at his reactions Komatsu did a good job with his daughter, as well.

 

[fizban]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

I laughed a few times in this chapter. Besides the hilarity surrounding Melk I and his tiny voice, I got a kick out of the sheer amount of food that Komatsu made. You can tell he is the perfect partner for Toriko when he considers that much food an appropriate amount to make for two people. Heh.

It is adorable how affectionate Melk I is for his daughter. I look forward to a sappy reunion scene when this arc is over.

So Air is the salad course, and our lovable president feels that it needs an exceptional knife to be properly handled? Interesting. I suppose his fish dish will be Ocean.

If this does end up becoming a mini-arc, I kind of hope the next one will feature Toriko going after something that he could have as his drink. Drinks are usually something made by man, but the ones we've seen on full-course menus seem to be natural occurrences. Give us some drinks!

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

The chapter was good and it was nice to tell the two stories in one chapter. One half was spent to Komatsu convincing Milk Melk II that she is a worthy successor of Milk Melk I. That was instantly followed by the second half in which Milk I confirmed that her daughter was the best successor for the name Melk. Komatsu has the strength to convince people. Two of the four heavenly kings were intrigued by him, Jiruou saved his life, the old man from the Island, Setsuno, Teppei,... I really believe that Toriko has the best partner he can imagine.

So Air is a course like God? Anyone?

Milk - Melk: if I write Milk instead of Melk then that is because of my language in which Melk is dutch for Milk (ingredient). So forgive me

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

The way I understood it Air was/is part of Accia's full course menu. Accia was the super guy who educated the last generation before Toriko including the president. But I think you know that.

While God was the main dish Air is supposed to be the salad. So we can assume that Water might be the fish dish and fill out the rest of his menu by guessing the elements.

#123 spoiler from ohana (2ch)

Spoiler

ゼブラちゃん出て来た〜♪
なんかケンシロウみたいな。感じだよ。

Zebura appears. He looks like Kenshirou (can anyone tell me whom ohana refers to?).

 

[susanoo13]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Toriko also reminds a little of Kenshiro(from Hokuto no ken), BTW great news about the timeslot of Toriko which will be on sunday instead of DB Kai right before one piece which means the censorship will be very limited assuming the government won't be interfering

 

[Koen]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

I am very glad about the news of Toriko getting an animation. This might be an anime which I will watch. A timeslot right before one piece is very good. It can only increase the popularity of it. Is anything known about the animation studio?

Spoiler

I didn't expect Zebura to show up in this arc. I kinda expected him later on but oh well, the mysterious Zebura had to show up sooner or later. I am looking forward to him

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

I hope very much that Toei will be the one, after Pierrot got beelzebub Toei need a new franchise as well, also the graphic design in the Toriko movie looks very good and naybe it will be the same art director for the TV anime

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Spoiler

This is Kenshiro from 'Fist of the North Star' by Bronson (a.k.a. Sho Fumimura) and Tetsuo Hara.

Didn't expect him to show up particularly now either. We'll see how this will continue...

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Chapter is out (mangastream)

Spoiler

The chapter is really cool. It already sets up the story to a new arc. The mellow cola arc. Epicurean graveyard, a very dangerous place in which Toriko is going to need help. Let that help be Zebra. Man, zebra looks like a monster. I look forward to an arc in which Zebra is going to play a prominent role.

 

[DarkLordOfKichiku]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Despite the inital report, Zebura looks more like Raoh than Kenshiro

 

[fizban]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Yay, he's going after a drink! A good way to wrap up and arc and set up the next one.

Also I guess it is neat that Zebra has finally been shown. They weren't playing around when they locked him up, were they? Being held down with gigantic chains in a beehive prison being suspended over a field of spikes jutting out at random angles? He probably could have escaped at any time if he really wanted to.

He's been described as evil and pretty savage throughout the series, but he is still considered one of the good guys by a lot of the characters. I am super excited to see how he actually acts when he is free to do whatever. There's definitely going to be some conflict between him and our heroes if he is truly as cruel as we've heard. Toriko only kills things if he intends to eat them, but Match said that Zebra kills just to kill. Maybe Komatsu and his meat underwear will cause him to have a change of heart. It worked for Melk II

Well, being on the side of the good guys doesn't necresarilly mean that you're nice (think Saitō Hajime from Rurouni Kenshin). We'll see wha the's actually like though. Toriko referred to him early in the series as a "problem child" which indicates that he doesn't exactly have a negative opinion of Zebura but knows that he may go overboard at times. But I wonder whether Komatsu will tag along on this adventure or not - he may still want to stay with Melk for the time being and cola doesn't sound like an ingredent that needs his cooking talents to be prepared (though you never know), so...
