Toriko 256 - So Acacia is the big bad?

I feel like I need a recap for all these people who just got offscreened. If I recall, they were all paired off. Is there a reason only those four were shown? All of them were supposedly fighting the Bishokukai so I guess those four lost to people who were actually with Joa? There's like two other groups entirely that weren't even shown (though they only had new people so I guess they got killed off without anyone caring). Though I guess those are the one's he was referring to as "bugs" that got in.

Itoshi no Karin 01



A gardener falls in love with the mascot girl but he's too shy to do anything about it.

Well this has the potential to be a really nice romance series. Definitely has a bunch of the flowery language and the male lead is pretty likable. The art is pretty nice too so I'm looking forward to seeing where this will go.

Dude, first Shuuden na Kankei and now this... I hereby acknowledge you as one of the coolest dudes (or gals) in MangaGAF. Such a sweet d'awwwwwwwww manga this one seems to be, just like Shuuden.

More recommendations for more d'awwwwwwwwwwww manga like this would be greatly appreciated, if you have more. Or anyone else in here. I need d'awwwwwwwwww in my veins.

Haha, thanks. No idea really, I'll just pass along whatever adorakble romance series I come across with.

It's pretty interesting to learn more about Jean-Louis's life here.

I'm so damn confused. Why did that first guy drop dead? :S And the F with that Ichiryu....I got my hopes up last week for nothing :S he was the coolest character too. The whole Accacia thing is confusing

Man, they really love their unfinished sentences.

But holy shit, talk about a dynamic entry.

The author *really* excels at drawing pretty/gorgeous looking ladies.

The lead males of her stories are always verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry lucky.

The Town Where Everyone Loves You, Even When You're a Twat - Vol. 15
No, dude! What are you doing? You just jumped in the lake! Don't hug her! Awhh, now she's going to be cold. You dick.

I don't understand these people. It's as if they're robots whom are programmed to love Haruto no matter what he does. The character interactions are just insane. I cannot comprehend how a person who has ever been in a relationship could possibly find this believable or rational.

If you dump your girlfriend because you fell back in love with your ex, things won't go too smoothly. I've been on the receiving end of that situation, and yeah... I just find all this to be incredibly ridiculous. Reading this doesn't make me angry, though. Less intelligent, probably, but not angry. I find it amusing to see where Seo's awful writing will take me next. If I was a Sociologist, I would study this manga. It really shows some strange people.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Can somebody give me a summary of OPM Special? I'm trying to remember if I read this or not.

D pad and funeral suspenders are the c rank heroes and theres a bank robbery as saitama tries to withdraw money. Came out in jpn over the weekend.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Speaking of OPM, it's been ages since the last RAW. T_T

mmmmhh.... Either i'm bad at english (very probable) or something is lost in translation because i assumed totally different things than anybody else, I'll read the chapter another couple of times just to be sure.

Toriko 256 - So Acacia is the big bad?

There's like two other groups entirely that weren't even shown (though they only had new people so I guess they got killed off without anyone caring). Though I guess those are the one's he was referring to as "bugs" that got in.

We were shown those who were killed by nitros, there are footprints. I guess others weren't killed by nitros and survived because they'll have a part later on or because Mitsutoshi is trolling like a Kubo. Nitros that we should remember, are aliens from another planet (Gourmet Piramid arc, they were depicted living on a moon of a gas giant with rings). There are other hints to this, like them being extremely intelligent, but unable to communicate with humans (completely different method of communication), and an attitude toward humans as they were a primitive lifeform (eating them, or ignoring them).

Also Acacia= Aizen, but i don't think in a bad way. I think this is all an elaborate plot to defeat the real big evil, the Sun devourer, aka Galactus.

The translation is messy or it's just a messy chapter in general. From what i gathered:

- Acacia wanted Fhroze to be alive to reach the Final land
- Acacia planted the seeds in prevision of the worst case scenario
- The worst case scenario was the awakening of the factor of evil
- The factor of Evil was awakened by Midora, from this it seems the factor of evil is Joa or whatever it's infesting Joa
- Acacia collaborated with the blue nitros to find Joa/Fhroze again when she'd come back to life, and for this tricked Midora into gathering the cure water

There are a lots of problems here. First, why didn't Acacia get to the final land when he first cooked his full course? Why Center was sealed afterward? How did he "trick" midora into getting the cure water if Fhroze wasn't dead yet? Or maybe he knew Fhroze was gonna die anyway and as such he made so that Fhroze die to save Midora? In which case Acacia would be pretty evil, but then why he wanted to prevent the worst case scenario? And he just said he didn't predict Fhroze's death. Can't understand shit.

That's some dtl level stuff.

Crown Craze 2

Such a nice story just the emotions they share from just visiting each other at school, Enishi going to Kuruto's and how he was delighted by it later on after the event.

And seasonal SoTaku art from Shokugeki no Soma, best.

HSDK

Rhetorical question...why even give her a robe when it covers nothing and ends up getting destroyed anyways?

 

[[Fugo]]

Toriko

Awesome, awesome chapter.
Heartbreaking in some sort of ways; interesting twists all along.
Now I'm really looking forward to see how strong is

Spoiler

the Blue Nitro, after Acacia himself said in the flashback "no one can beat them" - which is just crazy after the power shown in the Ichiryuu vs Midora fight. Capture level over 9 thousand?

Also the awakening part

Spoiler

looking like as a mere start of a new developement of Toriko's power. I think he's still way below Midora's level for now.

 

[G.ZZZ]

That's some dtl level stuff.

Well, Toriko it's an homo manga afterall.

HSDK

So that the writer can pretend that he isn't drawing hentai.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Well, Toriko it's an homo manga afterall.

Acacia being evil would be cool....

But what would be even more awesome is if CoCo fakes his own death only to reappear later as being evil and/or Acacia himself.... Mind blown


Edit: I just want more mind fuckery in this series

 

[Kave_Man]

You just blew my mind.

Soul Cartel 94-95

Michael's Holy Water attacks look great especially with all of Beelzebub's dark attacks. Probably one of the best fights thus far and something that Ive been waiting for for awhile. No complaints at all.

 

[Korosenai]

Toriko

So after reading the chapter, this is what i've taken from it:

Acacia is teamed up with the Blue Nitro, he's also the big bad, and he purposely had Midora search for Cure Water to bring Frohze back to life so that Acacia could meet up with Frohze and head to the final land.

Not really sure if that's right though, chapter was kind of confusing.

edit: Also, it seems the Blue Nitro took out the 0th. You can see Nitro footprints next to the 0th members bodies. So I guess Nitro's are teamed up with NEO.

Also after reading this chapter, it seems the Bishokukai will take on NEO now and ignore the IGO.... so what does this mean for Toriko/IGO and Starjun/Bushokukai?

edit2: Looks like i'm late to this, g.zzz already covered it.

 

[[Fugo]]

Toriko (reprise)

I still didn't get the point of Meteor Spice. like... why?

Gonna reread the whole series back to back, perhaps it will clear my mind on some stuff

 

[Dedication Through Light]

DRUMP lead character looks amazing.

 

[Metal B]

oda just thinks up characters he wants on the crew

You're thinking about this too hard

Well, the one time in Arlong park:

(Close up of Zoro)
Luffy: Of course I don't know anything about swords, you moron!
(Close up of Nami)
Luffy: I can't navigate!
(Close up of Sanji)
Luffy: I can't cook!
(Close up of Usopp)
Luffy: I can't even lie!
Usopp: Oi.
Luffy: I know I need friends to help me if I want to get ahead in life!
(Context: Luffy explains to Arlong why his friends are important to him.)

I stopped reading Bleach at chapter 312 earlier this year. At what chapter does it start picking up, because Hueco Mundo is keeping me from really enjoying it.

feels like the same thing to me... Predictable power ups, defeats, and the saviour travelling to the battle scene over a long period of time in order to save everyone

 

[BassForever]

Toriko

Can we just go back to the stupid power up fighting? The actual plot is not getting idioic

Fairy Tail

That'a a pretty hype way to end a chapter, having Laxus fail to save people and Natsu declaring they'll go to war

For everyone who does not follow the OP thread, Oda has drawn a gender swapped version of the supernovae in the newest volume.

Female Apoo is awesome.

 

[scy]

We were shown those who were killed by nitros, there are footprints.

Right, hence why I said they were beaten by Joa's faction. The Blue Nitro are with them, right? A Blue Nitro took out Yosaku when he was fighting Kaitora, who's actually with Joa's faction. So either the Nitro showing up was just "hey, cool, thxbro" or something he knew about.

I'm just curious from Ichiryuu's talk with Midora on which of the 0th members were with Joa (and I guess which Bishokukai were with Joa). So far, I think two of them were shown earlier in this arc (Kuriboh, Kousairou) but ... is that all of them? I'm going with no so at least someone involved in those four fights was with Joa.

Alternatively, those four were shown since they had the most screentime (sans Melk, I guess) of the 0th so they were the only ones that mattered showing. The majority of the 0th have done absolutely nothing :x

 

[upandaway]

I solved it. I found the secret and solution to Oda's unvaried female designs.

He should just design them male and genderswap them.

Phew I was worried things would not return to the status quo

How fitting, the case of the multiplying pumpkins on today. Though we couldnt understand the kid at least his powers were kind of cool. Hadnt seen them around by a human in quite sometime in media.

haha, for someone who was hyped Gekishin kicked the bucket real fast. Really looking forward to the Zhao inevitably turning against Qin. Riboku himself is a beast but any counter is practically nullified by Houken.

No bro, female Apoo is where it's at. I'll fight ya over this.

She's all yours, no fight needed.
