Wow, I think that Toriko took the "award" for the best mainstream manga for this week.
It looks like that Setsunos and Zaus' fight is about to begin and without a doubt it will be interesting. We got some information about some mystery dark chef called Joa, who I believe was implied to being the leader of Neo. This is in my opinion pretty much amazing change of events, since it changes the balance of the series' "protagonist and antagonist group" setup. Previously there has been obviously good guys (IGO) and bad guys (Bishokukai), but now there's the third faction called Neo which without doubt will stir the soup up even more. The story seems to be getting more complex and I'm really loving that.
Then there is the obvious surprise which is Komatsu coming to the scene of Toriko and Starjun and sees that Toriko has been defeated. I'd like to believe that there's obviously something more to that, but in a way I'm happy to see that Toriko wasn't shielded by protagonist armor. There however may be some kind of deception that Toriko didn't get beat after all or something like that. It's very, very interesting choice from the author to not actually show the fight, but I'm sure there's good reason for that. I'd like to see Toriko evolve beyond how he currently is - his fighting style I'm not too fond of, even though it isn't bad at all. It just could be a bit more entertaining, but thankfully this series presents a lot more interesting characters so I'm not too concerned about that.
Recap of Toriko Chapter 232: Wriggling Shadows
-Setsuno has been wounded by 'traitors' sided with neo. Her face looks scary as hell and she frees herself destroying Kuribous hand in process.
-However it was not his hand which got destroyed but gimmick frypan.
-Setsuno starts telling that there are 5 cooking fest champions, Zaus, Yuda, Buranchi and her, but there's actually one more. She's talking about the dark chef Joa, who was banned from the world of cooking.
-Zaus surprisingly attacks Chiyo behind him piercing through her with his sword. He then uses Calorie gui, apparently sucking Chiyo out of energy.
-It seems that face-off between Setsuno and Zaus is about to begin.
-Fighting is going on and we are shown several people doing their stuff.
-Then we see some of Komatsu, who arrives to where Toriko and Starjun are and sees that Toriko has been defeated.
