Toriko, Vol. 15

They got to the Gourmet Pyramid rather quickly. I seem to recall some filler episodes around this point. There are a couple of details that differ from the anime too, like the length of the episodes dedicated to Toriko, Zebura, and Komatsu making the crossing to the Sand Garden. And that thing about toriko's cheek scar which was not in the anime. Another point to note was that their fights and feasting in the Gourmet Pyramid itself were more gory. But overall, time seemed to pass more quickly in the manga than the anime.

A fun point to note is that Toriko's and Zebura's power level and power expenditure were presented as calorie measurements, kind of like what Dragonball did way back when with their scanners. But I don't recall it getting mentioned anymore after this arc. Guess it was yet another thing that was brought in as a feature, but subsequently abandoned again. And oh, all the monsters here capture levels in the mid double-digits now. As I mentioned in an earlier volume, these numbers used to be considered extremely "high". Now, knowing what's coming, these numbers are nothing.
