Toriko, Chapter 329: Thrilled Chefs
Team Komatsu arrive at Blue Grill, and that little chunk of Corgolem shows up behind them... only to get immediately sliced up into little cubes by some chef from a long distance away. Who are apparently this dude with a monkey mask and this dude with a bearded-face mask. Also they have four arms. All Blue Grill people have four arms apparently.
Is Alfaro one of these Blue Grill people? Huh, that might actually be an interesting explanation to his multiple arms and his freakishly powerful strength. Also a nice bit of foreshadowing/tie-in.
Chin Chinchin somehow immediately knows that the Corgolem isn't incapacitated and will regenerate, but these mysterious masked chefs send these pelican things to ferry off the cubed-off parts of its body. Jiji gives some exposition, that the last people to have arrived in Blue Grill are Ichiryu and the three near-dead members of the 0th Biotope during the big war before the timeskip... who, as I look it up, are Warden Love and these two dudes Tack and Rala who haven't really done anything.
Don Slime is noticeably pissed off at the mention of Ichiryu, but brushes it off with typical manga hijinks when questioned by Komatsu.
And they arrive in Blue Grill and it's your typical Toriko montage of 'completely insane cooking', with this six-armed dude who launches his dishes halfway across the city to customers on a tower, this four-armed guy with a frying pan that cooks dishes at differing heat levels and whatnot. Kuriboh and Melk are all excited at seeing these weird pots and knives, respectively... and Match just wants to fucking eat, who cares about the cooking dangnabbit.
Jiji explains how to get to the Back World, the chefs need to display their prowess, and Monocle Guy (who is called Damala Sky and I will never remember that name) shows off his knifework, while Yuda launches food halfway across the city... two at a time. Because you cannot let customers wait a single millimeter. Komatsu and the other chefs also join in, while Chiyo muses about returning a favour.
The two masked dudes -- beard-mask is called Russher, aparently -- talk about how if they don't have enough cooking skill, they will be vehicles for the souls. They are interrupted by the revived Corgolem, who immediately gets diced into even tinier slices from Chiyo from a distance away. She also apparently used knocking on the Corgolem. No idea why Chiyo and Chinchinchinchin knows how to deal with the Corgolem better than these Blue Grill natives, but there you go.
No idea if these masked dudes are going to be the main villains or going to be helpful type dudes like Mappy or Iai-Aye were for their respective areas, but hey.
Also what the fuck is Don Slime's deal?
Overall not a particularly exciting chapter, it's nice to see all this worldbuilding and whatnot, but I really do want to get to all the good stuff. The Seven Kings and Whale King Moon and the Back World and these weird masked dudes and all that shit. And whatever the fuck Don Slime's deal is.
