Shounen Toriko by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

[Cedre]

A friend of mine found this, seems legit. Here´s the source

This is definitely something recent, considering the art style.

Oh man, Komatsu...I don't even...his new design freaks me out so much. Not in a bad way, it's just that I'm not used to him looking like that yet.

Anyway, definitely seems legit, especially since Toriko looks like he's wearing the same outfit he's wearing in the preview ad. It's hard to translate the onomatopoeia properly, but Shimabu's message basically says:

It's "crunch" time...I'm going to draw the Gourmet World arc with everything I've got! Please "chow down" and "enjoy the meal"!!

Most mangaka's artstyles change throughout the course of the manga's lifespan. I mean, look at Bleach for a prime example. The artstyle changed drastically in that. Anyway, I'm very hyped for some more Toriko awesomeness.

Thanks for the translation, Kotonoha!

I can´t see much of his new outfit, but personally, I think anything is better than the bright orange jumpsuit

See, that's the thing though: it was a very sudden change rather than a gradual one, at least for Komatsu. I think Shimabu likes changing up the character designs every once and a while to keep things fresh, which is why the characters get haircuts, fresh scars, new limbs, and so on, but he's never made any changes that can't be explained by either Gourmet Cells or common sense. I've already talked about Komatsu's "nose job" before so I won't rehash any further...I'm just really looking forward to seeing if his character design change is plot-related or not.

So much hype! I honestly have no idea what's going to happen in the next chapter, which is a pretty cool feeling.

Face aside, he even looks taller. There was either a timeskip (how long who knows) or he got GC.

By the way, did we get any Toriko news from the latest Jump Festa? Any interviews from Mitsutoshi, etc?

Even if there is a timeskip, he can't grow anymore, being 25 years old.

So GC for Komatsu almost confirmed.

Thanks for those pictures, guys!
The art-style has been really changed since the beginning, but Komatsu is looking now just like in first one-shot of 2007. Maybe Shima`s editor finally allowed him to draw Komatsu as author wanted from the start?

Didn't know any place to post this better than here: http://toriko.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Asnow89/Food_Fiction:_Create_Your_Own_Full_Course_Meal_for_Toriko

We're having a contest on the Toriko Wikia to determine who has the best course between the fans

Everyone types his course from the various toriko foods (only toriko foods, not real life foods), and then some elimination will start, and everyone will be able to vote for the best course. Deadline for entries is on wednesday the 29th (around 2 days from now).

I hope this isn't considered spamming

EDIT: The final round is up. http://recipes.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Asnow89/Toriko_Food_Fiction-_VOTE Only 4 courses remain. and remember, don't choose the course based on the person, but based on what course you really loved.

I have a couple of questions !

1)will toei ever stop animating Toriko and another company will take its place and animate it (like the company than made the ova)?
2)why is toriko a kids show (when its shouldn't be a kids show)?
3)do u guys think starjun is still stronger than toriko (timeskip)
4)do u guys think that in the end of toriko the kings will be above goku and vegeta in terms of power?

 

[Cedre]

I believe Star is still way stronger.

I have a question as well. Someone on mangabird claimed that in the author comments of volume 28, Shimabu mentioned so far Toriko covered 1/4 of the plot he planned. Yet when I requested them a link, they apparently weren´t unable to prove it atm...
Can anyone confirm this?

I never heard anything about it. But there were rumors looong ago that Shima was planning to go for 100 volumes. Dunno if it's true or not.

that would be awesome but he is almost 39 years old and why didnt he let us see the fight bishokukai vs 0 biothope then :c

but i hope its true 100 volumes would be cool

 

[Cedre]

I can find a link for volume 28, but I can´t translate. Is there anyone here who could confirm this should we provide a link for the volume?

 

[obamamania]

Toriko is the kind of manga that has nearly infinite potential for length like One Piece, because the author has set up a world that is so expansive with such high levels for the wild beasts and antagonists. And no matter how far the gourmet world arc goes, we always have the possibility for the story to go into space which has been part of the story for a long time. The thing I hate the most is random plot progression into a new setting or fight that had almost no buildup despite how good it ends up. It's great to look back and say "oh now it all makes sense". I think even when and if Toriko becomes 100 volumes we'll be able to think that way about it.

 

[BestAnimeEvaToriko]

Is the toriko movie subbed?
