Toriko 319 Review: Bambina's Shit Cloud

Toriko, Chapter 319: Everyone Going Down the Mountains Together

We find out that Terry, Kiss and Quinn have survived the fight against Kaka... though there really isn't much of a fight. Kaka pulls out some kind of skin or organ of some animal, presumably one of the Eight Kings, and it was enough to scare the shit out of all three of them so that Kaka can just walk past them. Guess Kaka didn't feel like eating them? Whatever the case, they dig out Denshark -- who really looks like shit after being blown up by Kaka -- before going off away from Toriko and the others for their own training or something. Which is nice, because having those three relatively gigantic animals without the giant octopus around has been kind of impractical. They can go off do their own thing, train, get stronger and stuff and come back.

Toriko and company discover Denshark's excavated body and after Komatsu revives it with Dark Techniques and a drop of Pair. They talk about how the dragon tooth knife has regenerative properties, and Komatsu just realizes that Toriko's missing an arm. It's no big deal, though, apparently, because Sani recovered the arm and they'll stick it on later.  They note that Terry and company have gone off, before figuring out how to get down from the mountain range because they might run out of Air and the Denshark isn't an option.

Iai-Aye, Goritaurus, Infernape, Poophead Monkey and a bunch of others we saw before show up and they too have no idea how to get down, when this gigantic dark cloud shows up. Coco notes that it's the camping monster that the monkeys rode on, and Toriko's pokedex bracelet identifies it as a 'Kinto-unko', a pun on Son Goku's (both of the legend and Dragon Ball flavours) 'Kintoun' and 'Unko', meaning poop.

So the giant cloud is Bambina's shit. Well, we did make testicle jokes, why not poop jokes? They hop on the Poop Cloud, note that 100G mountain is reforming, before they head back to the Birth Cry Tree. And there's a shit-ton of monkeys waiting for them... as well as a female Nitro. The real Kaka? A different character?

It's a slow chapter and mostly just exists to make a poop joke and recap some stuff. We did get the little content in the closure of the Terry situation, but other than that we're definitely on a wind-down phase from all the Bambina craziness.
