Shounen Toriko by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

I don't really have a problem with the mention of the calories...It's just a sort of "measure" of how strong a character is, isn't it? Especially when it gets compared to other activities like running a triathlon, then one is able to have a more "tangible" idea of how much energy the character is expending, and by extension how strong/fit the character is. I thought it was a nice touch actually, but to each his own, I guess

Its just that they are already in the billions, what happens when they show the President or the other elders? They have an enormous number in the hundreds of trillions scrolling across the page.

Heh, well, I haven't actually read Toriko raw myself since the english Edited Mangas come out before the Japanese raws do, but I imagine the 0s are there because of the way the translator rendered it (and partially for effect). For all you know Shimabukuro-sensei uses the Japanese words for "thousand" and "ten thousand" and "hundred million".

I guess the more 0s there are, paradoxically the lesser the effect. I think it might have been more effective if some 0s were taken away by using "kilocalories" instead.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

That's one reason why I like kewl's translation better. The japs have it easy by using a single character 億 to represent the hundred million unit.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

There is one thing I am not particularly happy about, it started last chapter, and continued on over into this chapter, and that is the idea of a calorie count.

It screams power level to me, yes, yes I know it isn't a power level, but why introduce something that isn't particularly needed? We don't need to know they have XYZ calories left, they could simply say they only have enough energy/strength left for one, or at most two attacks.

The creature in the coffin is interesting, because it seems humanoid. I don't really know how it will look, because the picture of the chimera in the old wall portrait did not resemble the eye shape nor the fingers of the coffin creature.

The calorie levels were introduced in order to introduce suspense. They're less about power and more about stamina. Yes if someone like Zebura could store 4.5m calories it's great, but if your weakest attack uses half of that, what's the point. That's why Toriko works as well as he does and this chapter shows that off. It's all about showing off the balance to Toriko's character.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Yeah. The calories thing is to give more of a gauge as to how many times abilities can be used. They did this a little earlier on, about how he can only use his arms so much each in the Gourmet Stadium. Then later against Tommyrod he said he has "no more weapons" when he couldn't use his right arm anymore and didn't have a left arm anymore, which is when he invented Leg Knife.

Now it's just getting broader in terms of overall energy instead of just strength in body parts. Also the calories thing has a connection to food.
And yeah, if it's written out in kanji I usually write the word out and if it's written out as a number, I'll write the number. Generally. Because reading long numbers with lots of zeroes is unweildy, they're harder to read that way. But reading out small numbers is, because they're harder to read that way because it's the other way around, the word is longer than the numbers and they're easier to read.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Spoilers are out for chapter 135 and the OnePiece crossover

Spoiler

And as many(everyone) had guessed, Toriko eats a Devil Fruit. But, the surprising part, well to me at least, is that he finds it tasty.

For chapter 135: We don't get to see the creature/boss per-se, but we get to see half of the back of its head and it has long flowing curly/wavy hair as was depicted in the wall mural we saw in a recent chapter.

Ok from the pictures we see it will have all the strawhat pirates, All the four heavenly kings, Terry Clothe, Setsuna, and Komatsu in the special manga. Also biggest question what is the Devil Fruit name and ability? Also it looks like Setsuna has one too.

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Spoiler

I've never as muched as read a single japanese kanji, but from the looks of it Luffy is telling Toriko (or Komatatsu )that he wants to eat "God" the next time they meet.

Btw, i know this is off-topic, but how do two mangakas draw a crossover? What, Oda is only drawing "his" characters, and Shimabukuro (first time i read his name) does Toriko and the rest?

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

I just found out something hilarious about the crossover:

Spoiler

You know that Devil's Fruit Toriko ate which he found so delicious, well it isn't exactly a Devil's Fruit, in fact is it Poo.

Toriko ate poop, hahahahah.

That text from Ohana is basically just what is in the spoiler images we have seen for 135, for the most part.

just read the crossover and it was pretty good

Re: Toriko by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi

Toriko and One Piece didn't match well like Dragon ball with One Piece mainly because in Toriko and One Piece only Luffy/Toriko and Sanji/Komatsu are a like in ways but in Dragon ball and One Piece there are a lot of identical characters... But overall the crossover is great funny in many ways...
I hope Naruto and Bleach had also a crossover like this..

Careful with crossover, is not common. Most mangaka has to agree with that. It also used for something special

Anyway,

I look forward to upcoming chapter
