Toriko brings every week at least decent action and so was this week. It wasn't anything spectacular, but a good chapter nonetheless. Even though Sanis ability is very generic and so it doesn't interest me that much I have to say that the Satan Hair "upgrade" was an interesting one. What we've seen about it it feels pretty much overpowered in my opinion and I'm not even including Sani controlling the hairs that were cut off him.
This fight could be described as Generic (Sani) vs. Generic (Tommyrod), Tommyrod himself is one of my least favorite villains in the series and he doesn't really have anything to offer at this point. I'm pretty much happy that this fight will reach conclusion in the next chapter, the pace of these fights lasting for only couple of chapters while they include a lot of action is very good. In example Lugh vs. Takeda fight lasted pretty much double the amount of chapters while offering several times less to the readers.
Sani getting this sort of upgrade I think is a premonition that the other Heavenly Kings almost for sure have made similar kind of power upgrades, which I will be waiting for eagerly. The author has managed to make Torikos characters get upgrades in a very good manner so that I haven't really felt that they were too cheap and poorly designed so I'm waiting for good things to come in the next chapters..
Recap of Toriko 226: Sani vs. Tommyrod
-Tommyrod is about to fight against Sani by himself, he destroys the remaining insects nearby.
-Sani almost instantly and cuts off Tommyrods left hand
-Tommyrod recaps the "appetite" which was a physical manifestation of the Gourmet Cells energy and that it was the impetus to awaken something that had been lying dormant. In Sanis case it's the Devil, or Satan Hair.
-Sani keeps attacking, but Tommyrod is constantly dodging
-We get an explanation how Tommyrod has "Compound Eyes" similar to many flying insects, meaning that they have in fact thousands of "eyes", Tommyrod however has an one million of them.
-So Tommyrod is effectively dodging Sanis Satan hair and finally Sani has to rescind it since he's not used to it yet.
-Sani tries to tangle Tommyrod with Hair lock, but it gets countered by Tommyrods Bomb egg storm.
-Sani uses Hair spit, which gets deflected by Wing Shield.
-Suddenly Tommyrods severed left arm begins strangling him, the hand is alive by itself
-Tommyrod gets couple of good hits and finally pierces Sani with his arm, but quickly realizes that he can't move at all because of Sanis Hair Marionette.
-Sani started using the Satan Hair once again and Tommyrod is trapped. It's revealed that it was not Satan Hair in which Sani was not used to but the previously cut hair.
-In next chapter Sani vs. Tommyrod will be concluded.
