Toriko, Vol. 37

Ok, there are two “parts” to this volume. The first half deals with with Komatsu and the rest of the chefs in Blue Grill, the ancient civilisation in Area 6. As the explore this apparently Gourmet haven, they began to realise that things are not what they seem. It's actually somewhat leisurely, reminiscent of Cooking Festival. The second half of this volume is where the pace suddenly picks up. The two remaining disciples of Acacia comes into the picture, Teppei's motives are revealed (I guessed right in a previous review), the real goals of Joa and also the Blue Nitro are finally revealed, and the biggest legendary figure of Acacia apparently has a part to play as well. Things seem to speed up quite a bit as it seems to be barreling towards titanic fights that puts the world itself in danger.
