Toriko, Vol. 6

And the Regal Mammoth arc draws to a close. We see the three (out of four) Heavenly Kings each battle a GT Robo. And here is where things are first very noticeably different from the anime. The fights are a lot of bloodier and more violent than what can be shown in an anime targeted at kids. I think like this better. But Komatsu's reactions to Toriko is the same as in anime. So however you feel while watching the anime, it'll be same here. This is where it all starts.

Interestingly, I had completely forgotten that Sani actually had this aversion to other people seeing his hair punch attack. This is probably the only time it was ever mentioned, and I guess the other just dropped it later, seeing as he needed to power up Sani as well.And another point of interest is that Rin had a Devil Durian fragrance, in which the tree actually shows up much later.
