History Characters / TorikoHeroes

* ShesGotLegs: Her outfits often show off her long and slender legs.

** [[spoiler: Becomes a DualWielding [[SaiGuy Sai Girl]] as seen in chapter 221.]]

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Which is odd, considering he used to have dark, brownish hair.

* WindsOfDestinyChange: [[spoiler:His signature ability seems to manipulate quantum mechanics. He can switch the probability of events, making miracles happen on a whim (like standing in midair and turning the solid ground into quagmire) and reversing the functions of his opponent's own organ systems. ]]

%%* AmbiguouslyBrown
%%* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: To IGO.

* TheChessmaster: Coco is a ''brilliant'' strategist, as shown in the Regal Mammoth Arc and [[UpToEleven even more so]] in the Livebearer Arc. Hell, his actions against Livebearer put him very near MagnificentBastard territory.

* PrehensileHair: Taken UpToEleven. To drive the point home, he can even control his hair ''after it's been cut off''.

* MakeMeWannaShout: ''[[UpToEleven To the extreme]]''.

* KnifeNut: Well, he ''is'' a chef.

* CharacterDevelopment: A variation. His personality stays more or less [[StaticCharacter the same]] from the beginning to the end, but his treatment of Komatsu has changed a 180: In the early chapters, he was rather nonchalant about Komatsu and his well-being in general (the most jarring example was how he was ''accidentally responsible for Komatsu’s death'' in volume 3 because he neglected looking for Komatsu in order to help Coco fight the Demon Snake and forgot to warn Komatsu that the crackers Toriko gave him were ''bombs'' - it’s lucky that Jirou revived him afterwards). However, as the series goes on, he becomes ''extremely protective'' of Komatsu, so much that Komatsu being hurt is his BerserkButton and he always makes sure he’s safe first and foremost. This is probably also a case of CharacterizationMarchesOn as the author wasn’t sure how to portray the duo’s dynamic in the early stages, and the duo growing naturally closer after a lot of time spent with each other.

* BaldOfAwesome: [[spoiler: He did have some awesome hair back when he was a bandit before meeting Ichiryu.]]
** [[spoiler: Loses it post-Timeskip when he becomes President.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: [[spoiler: It was actually black when he was an infant, but turned blue [[{{Foreshadowing}} for some unknown reason.]] [[SarcasmMode Probably not anything important.]] His hair turns black again after his Blue Appetite Devil temporarily leaves his body to fight the Horse King.]]

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:He gains this status after awakening his Blue Appetite Demon, eating GOD and CENTER and awakening his original White Appetite Demon, Toriko became so powerful that he was able to fight on par with some of the Eight Kings and his father Acacia, and later defeating the latter after finally manifesting the White Demon and easily defeats Neo Acacia with nothing more than a finger. He pretty much became the strongest Gourmet hunter in the world by the end of the series.]]

* WorldsStrongestMan: He seems to have become the most powerful Gourmet Hunter in the world after [[spoiler: awakening his Blue Appetite Demon, eating GOD and CENTER and awakening the massively powerful white Appetite Demon during the Gourmet World Act. These new powers and abilities made Toriko strong enough to fight on par with a few of the Eight Kings and his own father, Acacia though with a little help and unlike most Gourmet Hunters, he has three Appetite Demons, the Red, Blue, and White Demons, the latter of which was his original Appetite Demon and he inherited from his mother thanks to the white Gourmet Cells and with it he was able to easily defeat Neo Acacia with a single blow.

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:He gains this status when Toriko his original Appetite Demon, the White Demon finally manifests and easily defeats Neo Acacia with nothing more than a finger.]]

* MulticoloredHair: Justified in that his hairs are a touch sensory organ and each color detects different stimuli.

[[/folder]]

* SuperPoweredEvilSide: His inner demon is this.
** [[spoiler:[[UpToEleven Super Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Has a ''second'' demon inside of him stronger than the first.]]
** [[spoiler:Recent events hint at the existence of a third demon]]
** [[spoiler: This is now confirmed, with Blue stating that Toriko's body couldn't handle the third demon's emergence for even a second.]]
** [[spoiler: His body has finally gotten to the point where he can let it out. For a few seconds after eating one of his appetite demons.]]

As a Gourmet Hunter who specializes in poison, Coco has taken AcquiredPoisonImmunity to the next level. His body is host to all sorts of dangerous toxins, and Coco can combine these on a molecular level to create even more dangerous substances and fire them out at high speed. Personality wise, he's calm and collected, and loves to dabble in things like fortune telling.
His Intimidation takes the form of a long-haired, thin wraith.

* FoodBasedSuperpowers: Gourmand Cells allow Toriko to absorb special abilities from the food he eats.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:When Komatsu is kidnapped by Starjun, he becomes sullen and loses the will to eat.]]

* AntiHero: While he's definitely not bad, Toriko only fights for his own goals. That said, he ''does'' have a heart of gold.
** [[spoiler: Through CharacterDevelopment, he becomes a genuine hero. For example, while in the Gourmet World after rescuing Komatsu he spent ''the entire time'' hunting for numerous and rare ingredients to help the people of the Human World. When he comes back he shares ''all''that food without a second of hesitation, single-handedly stopping Midora's famine.]]

* BattleCouple: [[spoiler: With Rin]].

* {{Hunk}}: As a throwback to older Shonen heroes.
* IdiotHero: Averted. He's rather intelligent, using cunning and trickery in battle as well as being MrExposition

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: [[spoiler: The Derous Knife he gets from Melk II. It's sharp enough to make a giant gash in a mountain from simply ''swinging it''.]]
%%* ActionDuo: With Toriko.

* ShipTease: With [[spoiler: Melk II]].

* MegatonPunch: [[spoiler: By gathering a lot of hair together, he can create what looks like a devilish ghost to deliver great punches. He doesn't like to use it, though, because it's "not beautiful".]]

* PrehensileHair: UpToEleven.
** To drive the point home, he can even control his hair ''after it's been cut off''.

* BigEater: Even more so than [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]] and [[Manga/OnePiece Luffy]], which is saying ''a lot''.
