Pretty good chapter. Branchi is in my opinion getting surprisingly much attention in the manga, so I'm guessing that the author has planned some bigger role for him rather than just another chef fightning in this arc. His powers are without a doubt pretty cool, even though I've seen plenty of lightning abilities in several mangas and animes I'm certain that the author will be able to create something amazing with Branchi. I do think that he's as a character pretty good so it's in no way a bad thing for him to get some screen time.
Ageless Elg at this point seems to be pretty much impossible to defeat. I myself was thinking that if Branchi would slice him in half from where he is connected (fused) to the Herak Horse, maybe then would he be unable to regenerate, but Branchi did things a bit better and sliced him in thousands of small bits. Even then he regenerated into hundreds of bodies, but now I can't help but to wonder can he just multiply himself as much as he wants and what will possibly happen to the all the excess bodies of him? What a weird situation.
I am though excited to see what will be the outcome of this fight and how it is even possible to destroy Elg. I'd think that if he can't be killed then the only way would be to contain him in some way that he can't get out of there.
Recap of Toriko Chapter 228:
-Branch chief Elg is standing before Branchi, who's asking what the hell is he.
-Branchi hits him with lightning/electricity once more, turns around and we see Elg back up again.
-We get an explanation of Buranchis power, every cell in his body becomes like an 'amplifier circuits' for electricity. The electric potential difference has an average of 100 million volts and the amount of electric current that he releases is actually over 100 00 amperes.
-Elg should be dead after Buranchis Eleki Chop, but he still rises up and attacks Branchi.
-Elg then introduces himself as the eldest chef, "ageless Elg". He says that his body does not age and therefore will not die, he is immortal.
-Elg fused with a legendary mythical beast that lives in Gourmet World, the Horse King "Heraku", which is an ageless and immortal horse.
-Buranchi then generates himself inazuma houchou which means Lightning Kitchen Knife. He then smashes Elg into pieces, but Elg still manages to regenerate.
-Ageless Elg starts speaking once again and he says that he has lived for around 200 years, then we see that he actually regenerated all of the bits in which he was cut in into a complete version of him.
-Branchi is now in trouble, his batteries are depleted and he gets kicked by Herak kick.
-Toriko will be on break next week (shit).
