Zebra's power is quite something alright... But at the same time something of a glass cannon

glass cannon how?

He lost his voice at the end of the chapter. He took out an entire canyon full of monsters in the process, but once he loses his voice that is a big power drop. At that point all he has going for him are his 300+ pounds of pure muscle and the actual capacity to bite a person to death. Take that, Hibari.

It seems like Toriko's smell is the short end of the straw. Sani's touch abilities and Zebura's hearing/sound powers are both super strong. Coco's sight stuff has proven to be useful as well. But I suppose having the strongest sense of smell means he appreciates food on a higher level than the other three.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

The chapter was awesome but one thing bothered me though. Out of the four emperors isn't Toriko supposed to be the glutton? Either way I liked the fact that Zebra's the strongest since it will surely bring out the finest in Toriko.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Out of the 5 senses, the 4 heavenly kings "specialise" in 4 of the senses (Toriko is smell, Zebura is sound, Sani is touch, Coco is sight), but I guess its redundant for anyone to be the sense of "taste"

I kinda agree with Ero-Sanji that it's a bit disconcerting that a bigger glutton than Toriko has appeared, but I guess this could be because Shimabukuro-sensei didn't have an exact image of how he wanted Zebura to be like when he first began the manga.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Toriko's appetite is actually starting to seem normal compared to the rest of the heavenly kings. Sadly the artwork dropped a notch in the latest chapter.

And now ohana's back in action (it's beyond my level, so I'll leave the translation task to others) :

Actually I disagree. In the century soup arc, his sense of smell, proved very versatile when his body started to produce that oil which repelled the bugs. In a world like this, smell is invaluable, the other senses are as well, but i think that Toriko uses it as well as the others use their main senses.

But doesn't that also mean that Toriko is the easiest to handicap?

Those gondola/sky snow type lifts were really cool, they were freaking buildings.

And Zebra saves a decrepit colony and a little girl, looks like the guy has some redeeming qualities.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Cool chapter. I loved those house lifts a lot. The interaction between Toriko and Zebra is funny too. You can see that those men respect each other, even if they fight each other for fun. I am definitely looking forward when sani (sunny?) and coco end up with Zebra and Toriko. I would like to see the interaction between the four heavenly kings

Anyway, Komatsu has seen a positive side in Zebra's release:
1. wars are stopped because of it
2. a kid was saved from a war machine (monsters)

And Zebra killed 26 creatures who screwed up the ecosystems

 

[saladesu]

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Yeah, same here Koen. Despite how Sani/Sunny and Coco outright rejected Toriko's initial request, I'm sure they know that Zebra is actually a nice guy and that his sins aren't all that bad.

I thought it was interesting that Zebra likened himself to an ecosystem - don't take care of him, and the creatures linked to him will also suffer. Also the fact that Zebra, despite being a good guy at heart, keeps doing stuff to frighten Komatsu or says stuff that's misleading or could be misconstrued.

I really like how ambiguous Zebra is. He certainly a little bit off and psychotic at times but he seems to be at least a somewhat good guy otherwise he would have let the kid die and I believe he made the 26 dangerous species extinct because of their negative side effects.

Also the dynamic in the group is incredible and hilarious at the same time. Zebra's mood swings and lust to fight, Komatsu's fear and Toriko's indifference to all. Just looks wonderfully anarchic.
