Toriko 221: Showcase of everything

Comments

Amazing chapter once again. I expected for us to see Toriko vs. Starjun fight this week, but instead we got more of the main battlefield clashing and I have to say that I'm not disappointed at all. Author has managed to make most of the characters interesting and intriguing to read about, this chapter was one of the kinds which I didn't even realize that I had already read almost 20 pages of it. It felt like it ended in an instant.

The best part of chapter 221 was obviously the ending. Cliffhanger which says that in the next chapter 222 Legendary Setsuno is going to show her superpowers? Yes please. However I wonder how the disappearance of Zaus is going to link to all this: it may be that we may discover at some point something unpleasant regarding to that..

Recap and addtional comments

Toriko chapter 221 begins with Mansam having his own kind of fun destroying the GT robos, he uses Frypan Sandwich on one of them. He then starts remembering his time as young bandit and how the president Ichiryuu "released" his dormant powers with knocking.
Mansam is definitely showing his best sides in this fight, previously I though him being a definite filler character, but this has changed my opinion to the better.

He destroys one more with Wanted punch and groups of GT robos are coming onto him.

Meanwhile IGO beast tamer Rin is fighting against groups of monsters with King Sleep Fragrance which is extracted from King Sloth that sleeps 364 days and 23 hours a year. There's three bishokukai's who are not affected by the sleeping fragrance:

6th Branch / Mystery man Zaiper, Omnivorous Bei and Wild Man Dohsa.

Rin pulls out her Fragrance swords for this fight.

At the sime time differenct chefs are showing their fighitng skills, we are shown Yuda showing his Bannou Yakutou (All-purpose medicine blade) and using 1 milli zengiri skill which makes enemies in to complete fodder.
Yuda seems a bit generic character, but is still awesome enough.

Also Livebearer is enjoying himself using "doping cooking".

Tengu Branchi's skills are shown as electiricity manipulating, which explains he putting "batteries" inside to recharge himself. He uses Heiretsu "Eleki Punch" to kill group of monsters.

Then suddenly 1st branch chef Elg comes to the scene to oppose Branchi; whom Branchi punches and it seems very effective.
Yeah it's pretty obvious that this isn't everything that Elg has to offer: even though it looks that Branchi's hit was very effective Elg will most likely show us his special skills which are somehow linked to him appearing "weak"

Then we are introduced to some of the new Bishokukais as well as Barrygamon who we have seen before: Here we have Branch chief's Bogeyuz, Jerryboy, Cedre and Barrygamon.

Also Sommelier Limon and 2nd Branch chief Yuu are going to be fighting for now on. Limon describes herself as sommelier of death and that she will provide the ultimate mode of death for them.

At the end of the chapter Zonge-sama is doing his stupid crap until suddenly a golem attacks him, which gets quickly destroyed by Setsuno who wonders whether she should end this in an instant...
