Toriko, Vol. 42: 食欲との際会!!

Things are just getting stupid. So many things don't make sense at all, even when you're willing to take it in the context of ridiculousness that's been built up. I get over-the-top exaggeration, but I dislike inconsistency and “just because”. I'm in full-on rant mode. Toriko has more than 2 food appetites inside him, just because. No one else does and no one else seems to care, not even Toriko himself. Pulling out your womb and putting it into a back channel space and having it continue to function for 500 years is apparently possible. Setsuno said she couldn't handle another "Earth-destroying" attack, but after dozens of such attacks... no mention of what happened to the Human World. Strange that Earth hasn't been knocked out of orbit by now. It's so easy to shatter other planetary orbs with ranged attacks, but smashing Earth at point-blank range just dents it. "Knocking" can apparently halt death - just let people die please. Buranchi says he could t go on anymore after ferrying Aimaru, but he had no trouble making it back in time to "save" Komatsu. Yes, Komatsu and Ootake had another timeskip, because the author likely had no idea how to explain the God ingredient's preparation. The good guys get revived just for the sake of allowing the author to draw them almost-die again. And so many more stupid things like that. What a way to bring an otherwise pretty-good series to a finale. The anime was definitely correct to stop at the Cooking Festival, right before things went completely out of whack. Just a few more chapters to go. I don't even care about what's going to happen anymore.
