Toriko, Vol. 4

Enter the 3rd of the Four Heavenly Kings, Sani (or Sunny, depending on translation). Somehow, I was hoping he'd be a bit different from the quite-ridiculous design in the anime. Without colour, I guess it's somehow a bit better, but I still can't quite get over his character design. There's just so many “parts/components” that clash with each other and feel out-of-place that I personally feel that it's a mess of a character. Interesting power though.

And, well, the Regal Mammoth arc begins and Toriko's arch-nemesis (according to my anime knowledge anyway) makes his first appearance.

Side note: I forgot that we actually got to see Chief Mansam's full course menu and Sani's partially completed menu. It's actually kinda funny how low those capture levels seem now, given the incredible power creep that comes later. I kinda prefer these earlier segments. They're more enjoyable.
