This volume really amps up the action. The conclusion of the Bubble Fruit arc showcases Toriko's power-up, but also shows how much he still needs to go to catch up to the Bishokukai, who aren't sitting still and waiting for him to catch up. Right after that, we finally see IGO taking an active effort to confront the Bishokukai, which then segues directly into the last training ingredient for all four Heavenly Gourmet Kings - the oh-so-conveniently numbered Four Beasts. Those fights are pretty awesome, except that it's marred by the depiction of the military trying to take on the Four Beasts - it's kind of silly because it implies that each of the four Heavenly Gourmet Kings can basically wipe out humanity's armies... and so can the IGO and the Bishokukai. Basically... human civilisations are pretty much like ants.
