Nice, finally!
>>273428073I HATE IT
>>273428289Uh huh, sure you can buddy. You barely cut a small one.
>>273428180Aawww yeah time for more cool old people
>>273428376This is one of those pages that I remembered for years. Don't remember why this one specifically, but I do.
>>273428591ENTER
>>273428496>Level 85 >Volume 8WHAT THE FUCK
>>273428542Sous-chef, so he's the same rank as Starjun.
>>273428496>grinpatch's pet is level 85>tommyrod's trumpcard last ditch attack that exhausted him is only level 81
>>273428591Ob...
>>273428677Here at the Gourmet Corp we don't use standard cooking utensils, we just use bugs. For everything.
>>273428677>Evil people eat ze boogsHMMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>273428713I dunno why, but that banana gives me this vibe
Wild how me makes such awesome designs yet 99%of these guys don’t end up doing anything.
>>273428750>this is the average level 1 capture foodstuff
>>273428677You know he's evil because he's mixing the wasabi into the onions sauce
>>273428784>scaling walls (plural)Gourmet cells are unfathomable.
>>273428073I was waiting for you, OP.
>>273428741>>273428755What a way to command attention.
>>273428814>A certain soupNEWCOMERS, ARE YOU READY FOR PEAK!?
>>273428727>>273428741He’s not wrong, though. These robots are basically useless, since after a certain power level the advantage of “being able to survive in extreme environments” is just a standard power.
>>273428289That thing is flying as fast as a jet airplane!
>>273428830Popcorn is high in fiber so just imagine the bowel cleansing this sucker gives
>>273428879>Which town?>Gourmet Town, of course.>Then after we'll hit up Gourmet Village and Gourmet City on the way back.
>>273428949>Mr. President of IGO, A second Gourmet Plane has hit the Gourmet Tower
>>273428879Komatsu...Your work...
>>273428949>ten star restaurantsFuck, even quality cuisine is getting powercrept. This story never holds back and I'm not sure how far we're going to go.
>>273428964ENTER!!!!1
>>273428996Funfact, there is only like 3 Black people in the entire manga
>>273428496When a REAL "sous chef" appears, not some GT ROBO robot, you can tell because his PET is a motherfuckingCAPTURELEVELEIGHTY FIVEThese guys are insanely powerful. There must be, like, less than 10 people with that much power in the TRILLIONS of people on the planet. Holy cow.
>>273428996>Dr. Pepper still exists in Toriko
>>273428632Toriko has never shown Sturgeon any malice, though.
>>273429093BUT KOMATSUWEED IS ILLEGAL IN TORIKO!
Man I wish I had the money to go to cities with plenty of restaurants
>>273428241Throwing your utensils? Bad manners, Toriko.
>>273428666>trips>checkedAlso, is the "Gourmet Corp" the official name version for "Bishoukukai?"
>>273429150Basically it's the English translationTheir logo also kicks ass
>>273429050There’s an entire section of the gourmet world full of them, though?
>>273428686THIS GUYENTREETo be the head chef of Gore-met Corpse... he must be incredible.
>>273429195PLEASEThose ones have manners
>>273429106God Shima really did have so much planned
>>273429150I'm partially used to the old terms "Bishokuya" and "Bishokukai" that using "Gourmet Hunter" and "Gourmet Corp", while still natural, feels like a different series entirely.
>>273429198EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>273429198ENTER
>>273428331Is he fucking blushing?
>>273429106>200,000 he is a lot of money!Is it? Because basically all of the food data pages in this story time have been wayyyy more expensive than that. I just thought that the inflation in this universe got really high.
>>273429252>(Bird)
>>273429308>4th panelHe looks like a guy that wouldn't take getting his hair made fun of that well.
>>273428496A sudden jump to 85. I can almost feel the number multiplying ala super saiyan later.
>>273429308Delinquent manga...
>>273428591Gay.
>>273428918All these commoners' faces... I feel like Komatsu really relates more to them than Toriko. It seems, well, nicer to see that. I don't know why.
>>273428591what the fuck is his problem?
>>273429406Yeah, but Toriko loves humanity and is honestly just a genuinely good guy.
>>273428241I'm gonna admit, I totally forgot Toriko wasn't ranged this whole time. It's a nice upgrade.
>>273428677Eating ze bugs.
>>273428964WHY in the WORLD is some guy from a train showing up AGAIN!? And getting another big ENTREE? This guy is a JOKE!
>>273428331Nothing tastier than eating yourself. Grinpatch has already MASTERED autophagy.
>>273428376How many off-market lungs do you think he got transplanted?
>>273428964It's kinda disappointing they're translating his "names" but not granting the audience notes as to why Toriko is calling him euphemisms of zombies and references to zombie movies.
>>273428496Holy Hell, I remember Grinpatch being strong and the fight not being complete but I had no idea he was this cranked already.
>>273428808>>273428784GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD
>>273429532I still find it funny KFC's entire Christmas takeover was because of a lie.
>>273429150>>273429188>>273429230Same. When you go through more than 8 years seeing "Bishoukuya" and "Bishokukai" and "Sani," the official scans are kinda jarring.Makes me wonder what they're going to name Frohze.
>>273428879>Which town>Gourmet TownOf course
>>273429582Sunny would be SEETHING
>>273429610It's not that far off. It's Froese
>>273429627Aw yeah, bitches. Here we go. Let the bloodbath begin!
>>273428949Fucking ten stars restaurant. Is that the highest or can I expect a hundred stars next?
>>273428755I really can't imagine Starjun working with all these clowns.
>>273429660This is legitimately my favorite arc in the serirs
>>273429684Ten stars is the highest in the human world. Now in the gourmet world? Who knows!
>>273428964When even Komatsu got your name wrong, you're a real joke.
>>273428964Gourmet Town is about to go up in flames now that Zonger is here!
>>273429761>I bet you could get most of them yourself though, granny setsuHow strong is this old lady?
>>273429063GOURMET CREDIT CARD
>>273429837we just saw her fighting crimeshe eats gourmet
>>273428331Yeah okay
>>273429849A *GOURMET*...CREDIT...CARD!?
>>273429106Melk!
>>273429006>Not translating the shop signsC'mon, guys. It's your job!>ピンワ>ギガキムチ>やきそば>アルゴスビール>プルバナナThis reminds me to go purchase more kimchi, this Tuesday.
>>273429837Yes.
>>273429198Just guess how strong this old lady is.
>>273429896Komatsu is ugly as fuck
>>273429582>Bikini chick poster on her wallBASED
>>273428686I dont remember a single thing this guy did or his ultimate fate
>>273429697Torikou's Alabasta
>>273429106Sharpener Melk! He must be, like, BIGGORON from Ocarina of Time!!
>>273429458Young Jiro is weird man. He'll always be an old lush to me.
>>273429582Setsuna has 1 quintillion gourmet yen in her bank account and still buys 10 yen plates.
>>273429606How many shared ones with Jirou?
>>273429228Gourmet Living National Treasure Setsuno!
>>273429837Her gourmet cells would simply frighten you.
So the normal person can’t afford any of this stuff, right?All the foods shown are extremely expensive,e ant do normies eat?
>>273429830A 10 yolk egg is so simple and yet so delicious.
>>273430146Normalfags eat normal foods. Toriko deals in the obscene and the rare, but in the Gourmet Age there's foods of every kind and every price available.
>>273429837Her power was shown in her introduction and you will never know what happened until the midpoint/endgame
>>273429308Granny likes bad boys...
>>273429896Who doesn't crave Komatsu's luscious booty in this manga?
>>273428212>you've got three pupilskek so it isn't artistic
>>273429081It has 23 flavors, of course it still exists in Toriko. Just imagine a gourmet version of it.
>>273429373>Gourmet pun submitted by fan!Shimabakuro reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally comes to appreciate this. I think it's fair to say that he even develop entire plot elements and characters into important things, later, due to how much he enjoys the pun a fan submits for a beast, ingredient, or person.
>>273430146Don't get us wrong, normies also eat amazing food since everything is amazing in the world of Toriko, but Toriko is eating the absolute best of the best.
>>273430086>>273429606All of them
>>273430180SOUL
>>273430262Fan submissions are perfect for a series like this. He can just have the ones he picks out appear along the way during large plot points as smaller side dishes.
>>273428860>show up to share his appetizer with you>eats the entire kitchen's reserves of food while you snackToriko keeps it classy
>>273429373The existence of radioactive chocolate means that gourmet nukes made from cacao beans are possible.
>>273429400Ha ha! I was looking for an example of this! "Little Ichi!"Even Setsuno is younger than first-son Ichiryuu. And she's intensely respectful of him, calling him "little" is humorously early-story, for the manga series "Toriko."
>>273430286Have you ever eaten bear meat? I haven't, but I've wanted to try Hokkaido bear curry if I ever visited Hokkaido.
>>273430312slut
>>273429984Double Agent for Jou, Killed by Teppei at the rushed finale
>>273430146>>273430146They eat, well, normal food. Depending on how much they can pay, of course.I mean, most high tier restaurants on your city are so expensive that even your monthly income wouldn't be enough to pay for a single meal, but you still can manage to eat delicious food now and then, right?
>>273430284kys, my guy
>>273428478>His phone is just a black patch of fuzzI'm kind of a sucker for odd fantasy communicators, like den den mushi or hell butterflies. Fun way of spicing up the functional aspects of a story's setting.
>>273429406>>273429435I'm thinking of writing to the author about how much I hope he doesn't change Komatsu's presentation, later, since that would be so intensely bizarre and jarring, to me.
>>273429308I just realized the reason she gave him that hairstyle is because she adventured with Jirou when she was younger
>>273430312This is the arc where "special preparation" starts to become very important.
>>273429936Komatsu is the only character with a harem, soooo
>>273430119>Garara Powercrept into being a snack
>>273429458>But that was long ago.WHAT!? WHY NOT NOW!?!?!?
Toriko is absolutely one of my most favourite series
>>273428713Translation error here. Elg is the Culinary Head of Branch 1. Eyeball fetishist is the head of 6, seen here >>273428727
>>273429045Toriko is the friend of every single food vendor out there.
>>273430343Sorry, I just rushed to find it. I was pretty sure this was from an earlier chapter and thought it was safe to post to compare
>>273430421Why does the pot have a ladder if Setsuno is the only one who goes down here and she can just jump up?
>>273430477Super jumping isn't the greatest for the joints. She just did it for style points.
>>273430286>>273430312Ah, So she cooks what is the combined power of /r9k/ and Pedobear
>>273429033I tried a new Ramen restaurant last weekThough I'm still iffy on proper ramen consumption etiquetteCopying Toriko is probably not the way to learn
>>273430465It does take place earlier, but it's normally considered poor manners to post images in the middle of an ongoing dump.
>>273430360>Toriko struggling to fitAlways smiling at that
>>273429229Kurboi and Melk getting introduced this early really fucks with my memory
>>273430264nice ass
>>273430391>The wand chooses the wizard, Harry
>>273430097I love how she has this run down shabby restaurant built to reflect her style and then she has the real super scientist kitchen lab where she does the real work
>>273429627>Volume 8>Menu item 6I can't begin to imagine what Volume 43 must bring...
>>273430597ItBegins
>>273429684>new reader thinks "10 Stars" is the new highlol, Stars, lolI'm exaggerating.
>>273429106And Komatsu is a five stars chef.
>>273430339No, many michelin 3 star restaurants cost 200-400 a personFood is surprisingly cheap
>>273429171>gourmet burglary ring
>>273429093We missed the sale!
>>273430695Yujiro really let himself go.
>>273429198I'm thinking this old granny is close in level to the pompadour gramps.
>>273430716My nigga match
>>273429872Smell it? It's like he's talking to it, he's that good. Nice, Komatsu.
>>273430716I sadly can't read Takimaru's name without thinking of that one Russian FIFA dog that made furries made tons of porn art of and the one video of the dude crying about it
>>273430673B O U R B O
>>273429308Wait, what? Is she the knocking master's wife or something?
>>273430761ENTERthe bar
>>273429972>Diner Setsuno gets literally flooded with visitors because of a businessman's web blog postI miss the old Internet.
>>273430765I'll answer that on... Monday>>273430784Shoutout to the random guy with horns I just now noticed
>>273430765It's actually never confirmed
>>273430695Look at the size of his gut. Is that the first fat guy we've seen so far?
>>273430794Modern Toriko would have Gourmetchan,Meatter, Kiwikiwifarms and Grindr
>>273430055Komatsu's nooooooooooooooooose
>>273430802haha that Zebra
>>273429458So she was his lover.
>>273430839I bet he did it Doggy style all the time
>>273430097>Opens her shop to serve her special course meal>When even a 5-Star chef can tell it's missing an ingredientWhat in the ever-living-fuck.
>>273429228Like >>273430123 said, the proper title is "Gourmet Living National Treasure". The title is derived from Japan's term for people recognized as "Preservers of Important Intangible Cultural Properties" by the state.
>>273429582Places like this usually serve the best comfy food, Komatsu.
>>273428496And yet this guy wasn't strong enough to get the gt robot back from Mansom and the bearded nose man.
>>273430233Granny Setsuno, just letting ingredients spill over and make a mess in pots while she doesn't watch... what a slob.
>>273430716>Hunters>And now the mafiaToriko really is like the other side of the coin to HxH.
>>273430264>one woman show>nobody's ever been down hereWait....not even [/spoiler]her disciple Nono[/spoiler]?
>>273430915Someone compare the HxH release schedule to Torikos, I'm curious 'bout something
>>273429761>chopped rawWhat is?
>>273430695Even the narrator doesn't give this man any respect
>>273430953Stealth entrée
>>273429458So, does that mean "Knocking Master Jiro," who Granny Setsuno loves, ever "knocked up" Granny Setsuno???Talk about going "stiff" lol
>>273429896She can sense his cooking talent!...or something.
>>273428698>bugs>eyeballs>brainsI'll stick with IGO thanks. Nice hat, though.
>>273430338"Cooking" to her is more like playing Legend of Zelda.
>>273431101>food battle royale>sponsored by global warming
>>273430312Reverse harem fish.
>>273430597Century SoupThere must not be a more rare or more un-obtainable soup in the entire world...
>>273430146We did see they sell gallons of normal soda for 10 yenThat's just the disparity between normal and gourmet
>>273430716>MatchMore like "cabbage" with the way he looks, heh.
>>273430716One of the Gourmet Knights isn't showing respect or gratitude??? What kind of doctrine do they have!?
>>273430597Hey, it's that shopping old man from before.
>>273431216Oh hey, The Gourmet Crips
>>273430802>Four Heavenly KingsDang, he's practically royalty.
>>273430845>Who's that gorilla dude?Oh the foreshadowing...
>>273430338No one does a Tarzan yell anymore, you notice that?
>>273431296Liberals took it from us
>>273430784>Chumps are all gobsmacked>Match is hyped upHe's a real one
>>273430802>supposedly one of the most famous gourmet hunters on the planet>lost against a lv25 snake in a 2 on 1
>>273428992When you're a famous chef you can work a single day once a decade and make bank.
>>273431337He could always say that he's travelling to find better ingredients or new recipes in this day and Gourmet age.
>>273431318>The ships guns aren't firingWhy?
>>273431351There are explosions happening all over its body, I don't think the guns are working as intended.
>>273431194>>273431203STAR FINGAH!!
>>273429851This one's going on my full course guys
>>273431370>May the food be with you.???????
>>273431073Toriko looks reeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally familiar, here...Which reminds me >>273429610 ; I wonder what they're going to translate "Saiseiya" to. Probably something like "revivalist."
>>273431089>Gourmet Connoiseurs of OldThe Cooking Nobles!?
>>273431257>Only defeats 1 out of the hundreds attacking >Im done I’ll be in my roomWhat a bitch
>>273431334WHY IS THIS SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A NORMAL FUCKING STAKE
>>273431139Hhahahahaha, oh man. I totally forgot about the original idea of the Gourmet Knights all having horses they ride. Kek
>>273430668A 5 star chef that leaves work constantly.
>>273431460It grows in a garden owned by a government agency full of giant killer monsters in the middle of the Gourmet ocean
>>273431467Yes, but this arc actually justifies him doing so
>>273429277Gonna let on a hint I'm not sure many pick up onToriko is technically a totalitarian nightmare when you look into everything
>>273430441 Komatsu never becomes anywhere near as strong as any of the top chefs physically and that kinda makes me sad. Even end of the series him wouldn't be able to do that jump
>>273430716I remember this guy being cool
>>273431448He really nailed it!!
>>273431536Wow nobody could've seen this coming
>>273431487>Match is gonna steal what they all worked so hard to getHe is Yakuza, after all.
>>273431536>>273431549>>273431568This old bastard must really want some soup.Personally I’ve never been a fan of broth (which is what this soup is, given it’s just liquid)
>>273431528You say that, buuuuuuuuut... he does awaken his own, uniquely original Gourmet Demon that appears (briefly), soooo...
>>273431389i don't know what was wrong with "i wish you food luck"
>>273431500>Hey Toriko, I've got a comment of respect about the billionaire.>Respect, huh? Well, I've got some exposition about him and how powerful those bodyguards are.>Wow! I wonder why you're telling me this...>>273431536>>273431549Oh, that's why.
>>273431006C'mon, anon, where's your gourmet sense of adventure?
>>273431632Translators being shitty at their job and adding dated refrences?Who'ld'a thunk it
>>273428918I knew Komatsu was short but I didn't fully comprehend that he was child sized.
>>273431568Damned Bishoukukai. Of course, I already forgot they were the FIRST to mention the "Century Soup" in this volume, already. Of course they'd show up.
>>273431216That guy in the lower middle is fuckin dead.
>>273431696>>273431696>>273431696>>273431696he's a big guy...
>>273428933>flying saucerDoes that work as a food related pun in Japanese too or is it just a coincidence?
>>273430338>>273431658This looks familiar...>>273431026Wait. How much does anyone here want to bet that Shimabukuro was playing "Twilight Princess" in the weeks these chapters were being published?
>>273431741Thanks tin
>>273430828>Enamel BeerNani? Like, do you take the enamel off a monster's teeth to make it, or is it a byproduct of an Enamel Somethingorother, or what?
Thanks for the dump, op
>>273431696Always hiding behind that mask or some GT ROBO. Did we EVER get to see him?
>>273431473What I like about this is he didn't cut the boulder in two with Knife, he had to split it and then separate the parts with Nail Punch. Otherwise cutting it wouldn't mean squat, both halves would still impact on the ship. It's the details.
>>273431500>Security force of top martial artists>>273431536>IMMEDIATELY jobs offscreen
>>273431460Because vegetarians are mentally ill.
>>273431741Thank you.It's humorous to see what "official" translations make of a now nostalgic series, to me. Plus just HQ art than the magazine scans.
>>273431549NOOO NOT BOURBO
>>273431658I'm still not sure why anyone would actually go TO the Devil's Athletic, though. It's not like that place has herbivores or such to sustain an ecosystem.
>>273431741Thaaaaanks, Tin
>>273431437I like when it pops out of the panel>>273431632Because Food Luck means something later>>273431741Thanks OP
>>273431864My headcanon is that the thing is man made and used to train IGO owned gourmet hunter, Toriko being so familiar with the terrain could be because he trained there when he was young while spending his time fighting in the colosseum.
>>273429373Now I want to see the power plant that runs off of chocolate chips.
What CW do we think Toriko is now? i'd say he is at least 70-80
>>273429426Heard of it? You're doing it yourself, Komatsu.
>>273429620He saw beauty in Komatsu's enthusiasm even though he himself isn't beautiful. He said he's in to harmony and a cozy diner and its food can still be harmonious.
>>273429606So based on her preference for hairstyles and her full course meal being identical to Jirou's it would seem as though their separation was amicable, at least on her end.
Can neo beat him with enough zenkai boost?
>>273428496>his pet is capture level 85Oh, so he was just fucking with Toriko the whole time.
>>273432438It is very rude of you to post any kind of spoilers in a story time.
>>273432438Fuck off with the spoiler syou cunt and absolutely not.
>>273430953Wow, that long haired guy seems suspicious.>>273430828I kinda like Moriji
>>273430716Takimaru went to the center of the earth and did nothing lol
>>273432592Ctrl + S fucker
>>273429106Have we seen a single food less expensive than 200K yen so far?If that's a lot of money for a 5 star chef, how do normal people even eat?
>>273430348It kind of looks like a black truffle.
>>273430477Gourmet OSHA compliance.
>>273429486>>273429507You know when a restaurant looks like that, the food is amazing.
>>273429532Was Colonel Sanders a legendary gourmet hunter in this universe?
>>273432800He was the first man to deep fry the Breadcrumbfeather Chicken.
>>273429896+1 to Komatsu's harem
>>273432836I still recall the Clown the called Ronald, The one to slay the Purple Terror of the Burgerdepths: Grimace
>>273430146Normalfags eat food that's gourmet by real life standards.The disparity is wider, but everyone is eating better in the Toriko world.
So is it a rule that you can only put ingredients you've eaten on your Full Course? Cause that seems to be the case and it's why you don't have people like the Gourmet Corp guys filling like every slot with God cause they can.
Threads are getting ruined with all these faggots posting spoilers.
>>273431073Is he just going to keep wearing his hair like that until he gets the soup?
>>273430348It's a rock
>>273432902A Full Course is more like a guiding principle for people. It's basically your identity as a person to like certain foods. This is also a world that can test if that claim is valid or not because of IGO offering it as a service to allow others to show off what good food they are eating that the plebs cannot.
>>273428542What kind of Japanes dialect thing does Grinpatch have going on?

A bowl of soup to sample, Perhaps a sample of Pork belly and an offering of Salmon Wellington before you enjoy a massive heaping of your favorite food with a great dessert to finish it off.That is a full course.

any new work by the mangaka or is he back to selling houses again?

>>273437072It makes everyone in the room feel super cocky due to being being taken along the really famous/strong guys, they all think they were closely evaluated and found worthy, which creates a mental blind spot for them to not realize they're just a cheap meatshield for the icy hell bullshit arc.
>>273437114After Build King's abject failure, this is probably it.
>>273436308Presumably it's meant in a "every little bit helps" sort of way, considering it's probably one of the only foods that can be acquired outside of the gourmet world that might be able to help facilitate their growth even slightly.

>>273437159>It makes everyone in the room feel super cockyShut the fuck upHe might hear you
>>273437269There's was a pretty good restaurant around here that was basically named the Marketplace Toilet.
Probably my favorite part of the volume, a d this has been a trend throughout too, is that Toriko, despite having the shounen MC traits like eating endless amounts of food, maybe some fightfaggotry and presumably being blind to women wanting to gobble up his cock...he's a pretty sociable guy. He goes places, people know him, and he's just friends with everyone.
>>273437223Man, remembering Build King just makes me sad. I don't want to be the negative guy in the room but even I could tell at a glance that there was no way in hell the Toriko formula could be applied to building houses. I didn't want to be proven right but I was, and I'm sure tons of people tried to warn the author just as well but he just ignored 'em all and went on with this... thing. The author is good at drawing fightfag stuff, good at drawing big monsters and good at fantasy worldbuilding... Why houses? Why would that fit in, why would that work? Did he get cocky?
>>273436114There's a reason for that and Toriko already alluded to it
>>273437395Shimabukuro applied his real estate experience to manga in a oneshot and didn't expect it to get serialized. Shuiesha had been hungering for new titles for a long while, but they're still just as cutthroat about shit that doesn't instantly sell gangbusters. Always looking for the next One Piece.
>>273437395In fairness Jump was also VERY quick on the axe, even Samurai 8 didn't reach 40 despite their best efforts
>>273429851The word "oyakodon" has been completely ruined for me
>>273437568I mean people are just using the literal term, blame Japan for trying to hard with their puns
>>273437568Do you think there's a more literal oyakodon ingredient somewhere out there?
>>273437600I imagine it's some form of terducken that would make a rabbi burst into flames with how unkosher it is
>>273437514Problem is I don't think any author has it in them to make another One Piece. MHA was the longest they've had since the Big Three era and even that didn't come close to Bleach which had the least chapters of the three
>>273437568
>>273430146I mean Komatsu didn't complain about the taste of a 10 yen beverage so clearly even food for plebs is gourmet.
>>273437395It' just doesn't have the creative spark, even Toriko buildings are more build king worthy than build king buildings.
>>273437718Should have went scifi and make it about spaceship houses that can fight. Still a dumb concept at its core but adding spaceships that shoot lasers at giant space monsters will always improve a losing formula.
>>273437663Yes, I know. You can tell they were panicking when established mangaka with completed series like Kishimoto and Shimabukuro got their subsequent series axed. Fame earned them a foot in the door to try again, but also was a double-edged sword and set the bar REALLY high.Although I think Samurai 8 could've really used some early editorial reigning. Kishimoto redefined a bunch of terms and didn't explain them to the reader for a very long time, and this combined with the fluidic art caused people to just be massively confused on what the fuck was going on.
>>273399921>try and think about any shonen mc that would react like this.Ragna doesn't even need a dragon to ask for a duel, the fight is on the second he sees them

>>273437928Newfag retard
>>273437791I used to think the guy who did Fairy Tale was creatively bankrupt and a coward for just doing Fairy Tale in space as their next run. However when you step back and look at what happened to those authors you mention, getting cocky with their next manga and BTFO'ing their own career, I can understand the merits of keeping it safe and just giving to the audience the same stuff that you know they'll enjoy. Sure achieving the same level of success with a different genre/setting/formula is impressive, but there's a point where it stops being about confidence and it's just the spoiled author getting cocky.
>>273437948I don't care lil bozoGo have your sad little crywank
>>273437983Mashitma is creatively bankrupt thoughbeit. Can't even come up with different character designs. Literally everything he touches has the same characters. Even that shitty new farming game
>>273438022First storytime ever? Welcome to /a/, lurk two more years
>>273437983I still have respect for Mishima. Dude is a drawing machine.
>>273437395>but even I could tell at a glance that there was no way in hell the Toriko formula could be applied to building housesNah, it absolutely could but Shim fucked himself right out of the gate with some decisions. Give Soara and the Monster's House a read, it's proof that a series about building fantastical houses can work. And much like how food is a central facet of Toriko's world, places of shelter would easily be a key aspect of a setting as that's one of the other basic needs. For a Toriko flavored world you just need to have insane monsters and locations where building materials are procured, and the types of things each house must be designed around write themselves. Look at the different BioTropes in Toriko and some of the creatures running around. How about a house designed to withstand land sharks that migrate through the region. Or a house built at the bottom of the puffer whale cavern designed to withstand incredible pressures. BK tried to do this with things like the upsidedown house but part of what makes Toriko work is that no matter how bullshit things will become with regard to powerlevels, people still need to be skilled fighters and chefs to tackle problems. Build King ran too fast into both a power system, but he also gave the MC a tool that invalidated many steps that go towards building a house. Imagine if Komatsu didn't need to be a master chef during the Puffer Whale arc and instead he just konked the fish with a tuning fork and it was perfectly prepared? That's how much I loathe that hammer from Build King. Not to mention a color coded magic system in a black and white manga. But said magic also takes away from characters having to know how to build a house since they can just use aura to supplant skills. Build King could have worked but I think Shim was only good at the idea of selling houses, not building them. He needed to do more research on that front.
>>273438048Yeah, could have framed that better. I thought he was ONLY a creatively bankrupt piece of shit, but he's creatively bankrupted + decently smart. He did Fairy Tale in space because he knew what he could do and what would work. Naruto in space didn't fly so good, it's creative bankruptcy that couldn't even manage to hack its way through and remain decently enjoyable despite being formulaic and repetitive.
>>273438086Not very hard when all you do is draw the same 5 characters over and over.
>>273436308Itsy tiny upgrade for the Boss at best, so technically accurate, but the main purpose as he says was empowering more to get to Gourmet World and get the REALLY special stuff.

>>273438148I mean maybe he copied Tezuka?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osamu_Tezuka%27s_Star_System
>>273437983I mean that doesn't excuse the fact Mishima can't write for shit.
All this talk of author's others works makes me sad the author of NnT/SDS never got his previous work Kongou Banchou animated which fills a similar niche to Toriko and is a much better structured story.
>>273438647KB is manga that defines dumb fun really well.Not sure if there's been a storytime for it, but I could imagine it being a fun one.
>>273438131I didn't mention it in this post but I did read that manga and boy it's good. I didn't want to make it sound like I don't think a manga about houses can work, I just don't think THIS author can make it work. If Soara and the Monster's House is a 8/10 manga and Toriko is a 9/10 manga, then the author of Toriko trying to replicate Soara would result in a 3/10. They draw big manly battles, cartoonish over-reactions, gigantic monsters and widescale environmental exploration/destruction. Make them draw happy quiet slice of life about understanding people's living conditions and how they want to peacefully live their life, that's not gonna work. It can work for someone, somewhere, but this situation's a dud. At least Build King wasn't a blunder of max magnitude since the author didn't completely step out of their comfort zone, they still tried to satisfy those who were there for big fights and crazy sense of scales. It just wasn't enough to dodge the axe.
>>273438679I think there was one but I forget when
>>273430824>GrindrYou meatball freak? Alright, lets do this.
>>273438589I'm not biased, I (dis)respect Hiro Mashima on the same level as I (dis)respect Osamu Tezuka for pulling this shit, and would extend the same frown toward a 10 years old who scribble comic book characters on the back of their school papers and always reuse the same faces. It is what it is, we all know what's going on and giving it a fancy name like Star System just makes me frown harder at Osamu than I would frown at Mashima or the 10 years old, actually I wouldn't even bother frowning at the last two, just the first. Of course Osamu Tezuka is still an absolute legend in many aspects, this is the one thing I'm not gonna lick his boots over for.
>>273436333Anon, Star tore through just about anything he encountered aswell.
>>273431528his "knife" was strong enough
>>273438689>Make them draw happy quiet slice of life about understanding people's living conditions and how they want to peacefully live their life, that's not gonna workThat's the thing, Build King didn't have to be a quiet series. The comparison to Soara was just to illustrate that houses as a central theme can work. It's entirely possible to have a loud and climactic fight series where !Toriko is a guy tasked with procuring rare and exotic building materials and !Komatsu is some architect that has to cater to increasingly weirder and more dangerous demands for housing. I can even imagine a whole side plot where characters have to remove dangerous creatures from a place where they want to build a house. Some would decide to kill on sight but others might take the time to find a suitable location for even those creature. Much like how Toriko doesn't kill unless he plans to eat, you can have a character that upholds that everything deserves to have a home so he won't take any shortcuts just for the client. In my mind it's very easy to shift around the current story to accommodate architecture if that is the goal. We haven't gotten to it yet in the storytime but there literally a Gourmet Architect and they talk a lot about safe houses when dealing with the Gourmet World so I know Shima gets the concepts. The execution of BK to me seems like Shima wasn't really interested in the Build part of his story because it's the weakest element by far. I know he was selling houses but maybe he should have picked a topic he was more interested in

Although we never saw the middle generation so there was wiggle room there
