Toriko, Vol. 39

Things are all kicking into high gear - including time-skips. If you had imagined how the other three Heavenly Kings could've obtained their tasked ingredients, or even what exactly those generic-sounding ingredients look like, well... you'll have to keep imagining it, because the author didn't show it (it's likely the author couldn't imagine them either). At least we got to see some panels (a very few) of the other Eight Kings in action. Basically, this volume is a series of chapters of consolidation chapters - the good guys are regrouping, and the “superpowers” (Jirou, Midora, Don Slime) are facing off their opponents.
