Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
If that was it then it really doesn't give them any closure.


Oh ok thats good, hope they don't draw it out like crazy though.

Its clearly not over anyways. Its just the end of the arc; there's a Ch. 89 "coming soon" on CR and besides, there's a few lingering plot threads.

Obviously Shiraishi will reject Yamada for some stupid, temporary reason in the future because of the shonen rules.

Gourmet World
hungers?

This chapter also said:

- what were the memories that Toriko saw at the casino 150 or so chapters ago, they were Ichiryuu's, about his full course
- what Ichiryuu's full course actually do, it's a source of endless food
- the final land is probably the place where the gourmet cells originated on, and that has spread the meteorites that created the gourmet world. At this point, it's possible that the final land itself is the place where the final enemy resides, a sort of parasitic lifeform that eat worlds or something of the sort. I think it's parasitic because the rock from the core is mentioned to be able to absorb energy from living things.

This is getting quickly to some Star Trek/Galactus level shit.

Once again kishi spends time building up a character as a ruthless, murdering asshole only to have him switch personality at the drop of a hat.

That's every character in the entire series. Seriously all of them.

Hope OPM will be a 500k kind of series.
It was smart to put bonus chapters in Shueisha's biggest magazines.

And seriously, Swagamoto is going for that million.

I wonder what a real body for Madara implies. I mean he says he can go Full Power now, presumably being held back by the Edo Tensei body originally, but that was a special body, yeah? Had Hashirama's face all up in it, let him use wood release. Now that he's used Rinne Tensei, what happened to that body? When Nagato used it, it basically returned souls to their bodies. What's it doing here? The soul's already in this fake body, but it seems to have.. generated a living body around the soul? Seems kinda inconsistent. Will he still have Hashirama's abilities? Shouldn't it have teleported his soul into his old-man body somewhere? Whatever!!!

Maybe he'd have access to more techniques that he didn't have as a Zombie and that he might be able to become the Jinchuuriki for the 10-Tails?

The only other thing that comes to mind is that despite having limited Chakra and being mortal, having a real life takes away one of his weaknesses, being sealed away permanently.

Yes, Yoshinaga power! It's awesome that the author keeps bringing Hiroko up to the main stage and showing what she can do. As much as this story is about Minori, it never loses sight of Yoshinaga. Morever, it stays consistent and shows off her skills that are based on her own personal talents.

The latter was the idea, yeah. But considering we've just been there with Obito, I'm not especially eager to revisit that (not that I think Kishimoto would necessarily mind the repetition, considering Masara once again used Zetsu to manipulate Obito into reviving him, right as Obito was about to die exactly like Nagato).
Guess we might actually be in for a (hopefully short) "Eternal" Tsukuyomi thing, now...

That doesn't work on living beings?

I don't think so. If you notice, as soon as Sai's drawn tiger bit Madara to initiate the sealing process, he gained his body back and busted through both the First's restraints and Sai's attempt.

I'd assume that despite having unlimited Chakra, it might come from an external source or something. Sealing and chakra restraints might cut that off. If one has a real body, Chakra is generated internally so even even if they try to restrain your chakra externally, you can push it out yourself to break free. Or at least, the types of sealings that could be done on a zombie is more numerous than ones that can be done on living beings. Remember, the 3rd Hokage had to sacrifice his arms to seal Orochimaru's arms initially and Minato did so to separate the Chakra of the 9-tails.

At least, that's how I thought about it considering Nature energy and stuff. I could be wrong though so I'll take a look about it.

Except...Naruto...Sakura...Kakashi....Hidan...Shikamaru..etc.

Did you really think that through before saying that?

I didn't think you needed to see me winking to get the hyperbole. I mean, I get you can't see my tone of voice through the internet, but there's like 150 characters in Naruto; obviously not literally all of them.

If Obito ends up getting pushed aside and forgotten then the entire arc of his was a complete waste of time and Tobi might as well should've turned out to be Madara. So obviously this is not the last of Obito, he probably is going to do something that redeems him (besides reviving everyone). I expect Obito to 'weaken' Madara giving Naruto an opening to Talk-no-Jutsu Madara to death.

After seeing photos of Kengo Hanazawa, I feel like the protagonist of I Am a Hero is a crazier version of him.

I will think about this while reading the new volume. Thank you.
Edit: I can't read French. Shit.

Kurita!!!
Will you translate the first chapter of this newest volume of I Am a Hero for me if I take pictures of it and post them? It's in French.

Double edit: It translates them into Japanese in a few pages, later. Never mind. I mean... I can still post them if you want to read a chapter of I Am a Hero in French... but I don't even know if you read it.

I'm glad the class rep got her secret exposed immediately after she noticed Shiragami's wings. Also, I do want to see the class rep get her ass smacked, and probably will in future chapters, especially if her mother's a MILF

What's going to happen is that just as Naruto talk no jutsu's Madara, Hidan shows up, stabs Madara to death, licks his blood, then uses a summoning jutsu to revive the deity Jashin, who eats the world tree and subsequently casts Eternal Tsukuyome on the entire universe, only for Jiraiya to jump up out of the ocean with Shima and Fukasaku on his shoulders, using The Great Toad Sage World Tensai Reaper Seal Jutsu to break the Eternal Tsukuyome and kill Jashin, reviving everyone who has died an unnatural death in the Narutoverse that isn't evil since the first shinobi world war, in exchange for his own life.

Then Naruto and Sasuke kiss, and all the ninja gather in a giant circle around them and start singing Kumbaya as the stone faces on Mount Hokage shed tears and the sun parts the clouds, shining rays of light over the battlefield as a flock of birds fly overhead, and Naruto is proclaimed the Hokage of the World, with Kurama licking his face like a dog.

The End

Teppu 1-22

This has been on my to read list for a really long time now but I never got around to it thanks to the hiatus and the translations being really far behind but now those two things aren't an issue and after seeing Vito pimp the shit out of it on twitter, I decided to finally jump in and check this out. It was certainly worth the wait.

There's something about Natsuo's sadomasochistic side that kinda makes you want to root both for her and against her in her MMA quest and whilst she comes across as a truly twisted person, I really can't bring myself to hate her as the little bits and pieces that fill in her past with her brother (and I guess Sanae as seeing her brother "broken" by her fostered some resentment) makes me feel genuinely sad for her. She's a really, really interesting character and I want to see how she grows as a person.

Saying all that, if there's one person I want to see the complete and utter shit beaten out of more than Natsuo, it's gotta be the Honma Matsuko (aka the witch of the west) after the way she wouldn't even look her disciple in the eye after she lost a match. What a fucking awful person.

My only real complaint was that dumb blood type shit that was dropped in an interview and was mentioned once by Natsuo. hopefully that never gets brought up again.
