Toriko, Vol. 9

Well, as if Grinpatch was not weird enough, the newly-introduced Bishoukukai Vice Chef Tommyrod is downright disgusting (and has very poor fashion sense). More deviations from the anime are spotted here, as the dark and violent nature of the Bishoukukai are made the highlight of this volume. While Tommyrod has perhaps an understandable ability, it really defies belief. I'm not about denying the possibility, but sheer quantity is just quite ridiculous. But other than that, a mysterious character has made an appearance, running into Zonge's group (seriously, what is the point of this guy? The running gag about his name and RPG references got old really fast) and also Komatsu.
