| 6 | The main duo of the story, the Gourmet Hunter Toriko, and the five-star chef Komatsu, the series follows their gourmet adventures and are the center of the group. However, they're joined by others, depending on the arc. |

| 8 | !!Toriko |
| 9 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/150px-Toriko_GM_6082.png]] |
| 10 | -->"''10 Fold, Spiked Punch!''" |
| 11 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (Japanese, TV), Creator/TakashiKondo (Japanese, OVA), Creator/IanSinclair (English), Creator/DafnisFernandez (Latin American Spanish) |
| 12 | Our hero- a blue haired, muscle bound Gourmet Hunter who travels all over the world to capture exotic ingredients for the ever-hungry people of the Gourmet Age. He, along with the other Four Kings, were adopted by Ichiryu and trained into becoming incredibly strong Gourmet Hunters. While he's a bit rough on the outside, Toriko is a kindhearted and righteous individual. |
| 13 | His main ability is manipulating the shape of his hands into different shapes to strike in different ways. His SignatureMove is the Knife and Fork blows, where Toriko slices and stabs with his hands respectively. His Intimidation takes the form of a massive red {{Oni}}. |
| 14 | ----- |
| 15 | * ActionDuo: With Komatsu. The two of them are Combo Partners. |
| 16 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade[=/=]RazorSharpHand: His Fork and Knife techniques, where he uses his hands as a fork (for stabbing) and a knife (for cutting). [[spoiler:This later extends to his legs, which are even sharper due to the legs being three or four times stronger than the arms.]] |
| 17 | * AdaptiveAbility: Due to his Gourmet Cells, he can adapt to the harshest environment, whether it be in a sub-zero ice cavern, low-oxygen environments or even places with high gravity. He can also gain AcquiredPoisonImmunity. |
| 18 | * AllLovingHero: Very merciful and kind...as long you're not two things: food or people who disrespect food. |
| 19 | * AntiHero: While he's definitely not bad, Toriko only fights for his own goals. [[DownplayedTrope That said, he ''does'' have a heart of gold.]] |
| 20 | ** [[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.]] |
| 21 | * ArmedLegs: His Leg Knife and Leg Fork, which are more powerful than his hands due to the legs being 3-4 times stronger than the arms. He has [[SwordBeam Flying]] variants of them as well. |
| 22 | * BareFistedMonk: He only ever uses his bare fists [[spoiler: (later on, his legs)]] and fighting techniques in combat. |
| 23 | * BarrierWarrior: His Fork Shield, which he can use to protect himself from attacks or enhance the power of his Nail Punch. |
| 24 | ** InstantArmor: His Fork Armor, which is a suit of armor made of many many forks. |
| 25 | * BerserkButton: Hurting Komatsu and disrespecting life (ex. killing an animal without eating it). |
| 26 | * BigEater: Even more so than [[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]] and [[Franchise/OnePiece Luffy]], which is saying ''a lot''. |
| 27 | * CameBackStrong: Implied after his second, brutal fight with Starjun. [[spoiler:The Eight Kings, aka ''the rulers of the [[DeathWorld Gourmet World]]'', [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling immediately realize they are in danger]] when he wakes up.]] |
| 28 | ** The first time when he fights Starjun, he is overwhelmed by the latter until he takes the Jewel Meat and proceeds to defeat him easily, becoming much stronger than before. |
| 29 | * CharacterDevelopment: A variation. His personality stays more or less 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. |
| 30 | * CharacterTitle: His name gives the manga and anime its title. |
| 31 | * ConvergingStreamWeapon: [[spoiler:His Cannon Fork, where he sends a barrage of Flying Forks that all combine into one really big Flying Fork.]] |
| 32 | * [[UsefulNotes/EthicalHedonism Ethical Hedonist]]: His stated life's goal is to eat lots of good food and compile his own personal ultimate full-course menu, but he also respects food and refuses to kill any creature he doesn't plan on eating. |
| 33 | * {{Expy}}: He looks and dresses similarly to [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]]. |
| 34 | * FamedInStory: Toriko was well recognized even before the story began, and he only gained more fame and prestife as the story goes on and he fights stronger opponents and gathers new ingredients. |
| 35 | * FingerPokeOfDoom: Toriko's Fork techniques. He literally uses his fingers to stab his prey with his finger like a fork. Later on, he develops [[FingerGun Flying Fork]], a ranged variation that allows him to impale things from a distance. |
| 36 | * FoodBasedSuperpowers: Gourmet Cells allow Toriko to absorb special abilities from the food he eats. |
| 37 | * GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler: He loses an arm fighting Tommyrod, but thanks to a process fueled by BodyHorror, he's able to get it back.]] |
| 38 | * GameFace: When he's really psyched, his face contracts into a devilish grin, and a Hannya-like [[LetsGetDangerous intimidation starts.]] |
| 39 | * HealingFactor: After mastering Food Honor and Immersion, Toriko gains a high degree of regeneration. [[spoiler: To the point where he can regenerate his arm and leg that were cut off by Starjun and repair his broken leg in minutes.]] |
| 40 | * TheHero: One of ''Magazine/ShonenJump'''s smarter and older protagonists. |
| 41 | * HeroesFightBarehanded: Toriko fights with his bare hands, although he can also manifest a [[ItMakesSenseInContext knife and fork]] to attack stronger enemies with. |
| 42 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After Ichiryu dies and Komatsu is kidnapped by Starjun, he becomes sullen and loses the will to eat. Fortunately, his many fans - rallied together by Rin - appear before him and express their gratitude to him for all the wonderful foods he's discovered, pulling him out of his funk.]] |
| 43 | * {{Hunk}}: As a throwback to older Shonen heroes. His face itself is attractive, but he has a very muscular build. |
| 44 | * IdiotHero: Averted compared to some other Shonen heroes. He's rather intelligent, using cunning and trickery in battle as well as being MrExposition. |
| 45 | * ImageSong: "Fight And Eat!!" |
| 46 | * LargeHam: Well, he eats everything else, why not [[ChewingTheScenery the terrain as well]]? |
| 47 | * LoveEpiphany: [[spoiler: [[DownplayedTrope It's subtle,]] but he appears to have one for Rin when he realizes she was the one who rallied his fans together to snap him out of his HeroicBSOD. No less than a minute later, she proposes to him, and he accepts.]] |
| 48 | * ManBitesMan: [[spoiler:Toriko bites and eats a chunk of flesh from Acacia. [[YouTasteDelicious Not only does he states that NEO tastes delicious, he even goes as far to say that he will make it his meat course.]]]] |
| 49 | * MeaningfulName: "Toriko" is Japanese slang for "tri-color". [[spoiler:This likely refers to the three demons inside him.]] |
| 50 | * MegatonPunch[=/=]RapidFireFisticuffs: His [[SignatureMove Nail Punch]] combines these two. Its power/how many times it hits depends on how much he charges. He can also use both fists at once for double the hits. |
| 51 | ** Also his Nail Gun, which is just the former trope, being a punch with the combined force of multiple consecutive punches. |
| 52 | * MrExposition: A rare main lead in {{Shonen}} example. He often relates how the biology of animals work and the economy of the Gourmet World in general. |
| 53 | * MuggingTheMonster: When he came to Jidar, some gangsters with guns tried to mug him. That is, '''[[TooDumbToLive they tried to use pistols to threaten a guy who can curbstomp monsters you can't scratch with a tank.]]''' Justifiable in that Jidar was not part of IGO, meaning they didn't know that he was a world-famous Gourmet Hunter. |
| 54 | * NeverGetsFat: {{Justified|Trope}}; like every important named character, he has Gourmet Cells implanted in him, which grant superhuman abilities at the cost of burning incredible amounts of calories and requiring delicious food to continue functioning. As a result, few Gourmet Cell users are fat and many are [[HeroicBuild brawny]] due to the Gourmet Cells reactions to food. |
| 55 | * NiceGuy: Despite his profession and his gluttony, he is a kind man. |
| 56 | * TheNoseKnows: In fact it can gauge power levels and the ingredients used in recipes through the oils of the skin. |
| 57 | * OfficialCouple: He eventually gets together with [[spoiler:Rin]]. |
| 58 | * OnlyOneName: He is only referred to by his first name, Toriko. |
| 59 | * 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.]] |
| 60 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: During the Bubble Fruit Arc [[spoiler: when Toriko finally masters Honoring the Food, he eats an incredible amount of Bubble Fruits to give him a power boost. In the process the nutrients from the fruit make his hair grow really long.]] |
| 61 | ** [[spoiler:This is implied in the Gourmet World; Toriko has slightly longer hair and some stubble and mentions that it tends to grow much quicker than normal when he's there.]] |
| 62 | * RedOniBlueOni: [[spoiler:Has a blue demon inside of him along with the red demon he usually projects. {{Inverted}} in that the blue one is apparently bad enough for even the red demon to be afraid of.]] |
| 63 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: His inner demon is this. [[spoiler:Or rather, his ''three'' inner demons are these. His body has eventually gets to the point where he can let it out for a few seconds after eating one of his appetite demons.]] |
| 64 | * SeparatedAtBirth: [[spoiler:Starjun and Toriko are actually '''TWINS'''.]] |
| 65 | * SwordBeam: Kinda, he learns how to use techniques similar to this trope, although they're more like "Flying" forks and knives. He can also use "[[BeamSpam rapid-fire types]]" as well. [[spoiler:He speculates that they may be composed of "Appetite Energy".]] [[spoiler:Later on, he can combine them with his sense of smell to turn them into {{Homing Projectile}}s that track the targets' scent.]] |
| 66 | * ThouShallNotKill: While he will kill, Toriko believes in only killing when he wants to eat. This separates him from some other Gourmet Hunters. Though he did try to kill Tommyrod, though no one can blame him, considering what a monster Tommyrod is. |
| 67 | * TookALevelInBadass: To give a quick example, Toriko could only do a 5 Fold Spiked Punch a couple of times before getting exhausted. Later on, he can do a 50 Fold with ease and surpasses this many times over even later on in the series. |
| 68 | ** [[spoiler:Also, the Breath Dragon that gave him trouble when he first entered the Gourmet World, he dispatched with a single Flying Fork the second time they met.]] |
| 69 | ** [[spoiler: Even more badass after Timeskip. He's not intimidated at all by beasts with capture levels of ''770'', is the only Heavenly King who could find Ichiryuu's Main Course by just ''smelling'' the trail Ichiryuu made long ago. Even Coco exclaims that he can't see that far into the past with his electromagnetic waves.]] |
| 70 | ** [[spoiler: After being force-fed GOD and CENTER by the gourmet spirits along with his with appetite demon willingly feed itself to him, Toriko was able to make Acacia take a trip around '''a planet bigger than Neptune''' with just a single punch.]] |
| 71 | %%*TookALevelInKindness: |
| 72 | * UnstoppableRage: |
| 73 | ** During one of the earliest arcs, after [[spoiler: the mother Battle Wolf is shot]], Toriko loses it. |
| 74 | ** He finally snaps from his TranquilFury when he encounters [[spoiler: Teppei, the man that impaled Komatsu and took his heart]]. |
| 75 | * TooUnhappyToBeHungry: Following his defeat against Starjun, which also goes hand in hand in being unable to prevent Komatsu from being kidnapped, Toriko falls into [[HeroicBSOD deep depression]] and loses his appetite entirely. Tellingly, the first sign that he's gotten over his funk is the moment his stomach lets out a [[GrowlingGut massive growl]]. |
| 76 | * TranquilFury: Toriko turns into this when he witnesses Komatsu getting impaled and calmly pulverises any NEO members that tries to get in his way, [[spoiler:thanks to gaining a power-up from eating AIR]]. However, he finally loses his cool when he finally meets the culprit. |
| 77 | * VictoryThroughIntimidation: [[spoiler: When Toriko uses "Conduct of the King: Ultimate Routine" on the Soy Milk Roads, he scares them unconscious due to the illusion of his red oni feasting on the monsters. Toriko even states that creatures below 600 are no longer a threat because of this technique.]] |
| 78 | * WackyMarriageProposal: [[spoiler: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] - He gives a Wacky Marriage Proposal ''Acceptance'': His affirmative response to Rin's proposal is so quick and casual that the rest of the cast is left completely flabbergasted.]] |
| 79 | * 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.]] |

| 81 | !!Komatsu |
| 82 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-Komatsu_artwork_6349.png]] |
| 83 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RomiPark (Japanese, TV), Creator/DaisukeKishio (Japanese, OVA), Creator/JoshGrelle (English), Ricardo Bautista (Latin American Spanish) |
| 84 | Toriko's travelling companion and an accomplished Five-Star Chef. In Toriko's world, that's not as high as it goes (with the max being Ten-Star chefs) but his cooking skills are nothing to sneeze at. Skittish and nowhere near as strong as Toriko or the Four Kings, Komatsu nontheless proves vital to Toriko's adventure- after all, what's the use of getting good ingredients if there's no-one around to cook them? |
| 85 | ----- |
| 86 | * 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.]] |
| 87 | * ActionDuo: With Toriko. |
| 88 | * ActionSurvivor: He survived having his eardrums being burst, and it gets crazier from there. |
| 89 | * AscendedFanboy: Spends a lot of time fanboying over the more well-known chefs in the story that he idolizes, and it hasn't quite sunk in to him yet that he himself is now a famous chef with plenty of his own fanboys. [[spoiler:This is especially true after the Four Beasts arc, when he becomes one of the Top 100 chefs in the world.]] During the [[spoiler:Cooking Festival]] he spends quite a bit of time trying to get autographs from other competing chefs. |
| 90 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: Komatsu and Toriko, though this dynamic also extends to ''anyone'' on Toriko's party, since Komatsu is a pretty tiny guy in general. |
| 91 | * ButtMonkey: Early on, he was often at the receiving end of many darkly humorous punishments, including [[spoiler: dying from a heart attack thanks to Toriko Crackers]]. |
| 92 | * CowardlyLion: He is a very meek man, but he begins to overcome his fear through his adventures with Toriko. |
| 93 | * {{Gonk}}: Initially had an exaggerated flat nose but [[ProgressivelyPrettier he has gotten cuter]] [[spoiler: Particularly since the Meteor Spice incident and the timeskip of years in the Gourmet World; he now has more defined boyish features and looks ''EXTREMELY'' handsome.]] |
| 94 | * FamedInStory: After making the true Century Soup, Komatsu becomes a publicly recognized figure. |
| 95 | * GameFace: Komatsu himself doesn't have one [[spoiler: until the Gourmet World arc]], but [[spoiler: ''his Derous Knife does''. When he draws the knife to defend himself, the beast attacking him perceives the Derous Dragon's presence and ''flees''.]] |
| 96 | ** [[spoiler: Said "real" game face is a near exact replica of how Froese looks when invoking ''God Cooking''.]] |
| 97 | * HealingShiv: [[spoiler:His Derous knife turns out to have the properties of a Revival Knife, due to Derous' having extraordinary regenerative powers. This basically makes him TheMedic.]] |
| 98 | * TheHeart: Easily the most emotional member of the group,. |
| 99 | * HiddenDepths: Komatsu is a lot braver than he looks or sounds, even early on in the series. In the Regal Mammoth arc, he takes Starjun's Intimidation at point-blank range and doesn't even ''flinch'', which impresses Starjun enough for him to hesitate taking Komatsu out. |
| 100 | * ImageSong: "Let's Cooking!", also used as a leitmotif for the "Gourmet Fortune" segment. |
| 101 | * MoralityPet[=/=][[MoralityChain Chain]]: To Zebra. |
| 102 | * NiceGuy: He bears no ill will to anyone without reason and his kind heart is what attracts food to him. |
| 103 | * TheNotLoveInterest: He's effectively Toriko's most important person and support throughout the whole series, and his Chef-Hunter partnership with him is framed similarly to a marriage, especially with how Toriko [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything prepares to ask him]]. But their relationship is nothing more than a pair of incredibly close and devoted friends. |
| 104 | * OhCrap: Has often this reaction to many scary/powerful beasts or fighters. One of the best examples could be chapter 217, [[spoiler: after realizing that he's alone in a very dark tent with ''Starjun'']]. |
| 105 | * OddFriendship: With both Zebra [[spoiler: and Brunch]]. |
| 106 | * OlderThanTheyLook: The guy is 25. Really. Lampshaded in the chapter where he and Toriko go to Drunken Frenzy Island where Toriko asks him whether he was old enough to drink alcohol much to Komatsu's chagrin. |
| 107 | * ProgressivelyPrettier: He has noticeably become less {{Gonk}}y as of recent chapters. In fact, the last time his face reverts back to its old state, he's [[InelegantBlubbering crying]] over all of the memories that he's made while adventuring with Toriko. |
| 108 | ** After eating the Billion Bird's egg, he takes this to the extreme, as he looks like pre-timeskip Rin. |
| 109 | * SayMyName: TORIKO-SAAAAN!!! |
| 110 | * ShipTease: With [[spoiler: Melk II and Nono, although ultimately nothing comes of it]]. |
| 111 | * SupremeChef: He's able to cook extravagant foods than he [[TookALevelInBadass learns Food Honor]] and becomes able to cook difficult foods more easily, enough to compete with top-ranking chefs. |
| 112 | * TenderTears: He is prone to shedding tears, especially when reuniting with Toriko after separation. |
| 113 | * TookALevelInBadass: He's gone from being scared out of his mind by Level 5 to 9 creatures to confronting [[TheDreaded ZEBRA]] on his actions. [[spoiler: And ''gains his respect''.]] |
| 114 | ** Not only that, but his cooking's leveled up immensely. In order to make enough antidote cooking to save everyone, he asked for ten minutes to come up with a way to allow regular chefs to make a high-level special preparation dish. With just a few seconds remaining, he succeeds, only for it to be revealed that he found the method in FIVE minutes. The rest of the time he devoted to making it taste even better. |
| 115 | ** Most recently, he [[spoiler: cooked a meal that was so good, Midora said he could leave Bishokukai after promising that for any chef who could make him say their food was delicious. And he did it with the left behind ingredients that weren't stolen by NEO, some of which were probably Gourmet World ingredients he'd never seen before.]] |
| 116 | ** [[spoiler: Survives 1.5 ''years'' in the Gourmet World and thrives in it!]] |
| 117 | ** [[spoiler: He not only manages to prepare AIR but manages to make it tastier than using the normal preparation method would have!]] |
| 118 | ** Early in his adventures with Toriko, he's able to successfully prepare one puffer whale out of ten with guidance from Coco. [[spoiler:Come Toriko's wedding feast, and we see that Komatsu has become skilled enough to prepare dozens of puffer whales ''simultaneously''.]] For reference, the puffer whale has a posion sac in its body that must be removed in order to make it edible, and the sac's location is different for each puffer whale. So removing it can be a tricky affair even if you know what you're doing. |
| 119 | * WoundThatWillNotHeal: Receives one [[spoiler:after Teppei rips out and crushes his heart]]. Somehow [[spoiler:Teppei]] also rendered the wound impossible to heal even with "Dark" techniques. Dark techniques can ''revive the dead'' -- that's how bad the wound is. Since the "wound" is [[spoiler:a gaping hole in his chest and a missing heart]], this is a very bad thing. "PAIR" is the only thing that may be able to heal him. |

| 122 | [[folder:Four Heavenly Kings]] |
| 123 | !!Tropes Associated With the Four Heavenly Kings |
| 124 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heavenly_kings_timeskip.png]] |
| 125 | [[caption-width-right:350:The Four Heavenly Kings and Komatsu]] |
| 126 | Toriko's adopted siblings, and three of the most legendary Gourmet Hunters in the world. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * BadassCrew: Ooooh yeah... |
| 129 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: They all learn Food Honor, except Zebra. |
| 130 | ** [[spoiler:They also learn Enbu.]] |
| 131 | * CombinedEnergyAttack: [[spoiler:The "Dinner of Kings", a giant ball of "Appetite Energy" that "eats" the target completely before releasing its "pre-chewed" meat.]] |
| 132 | * HappilyAdopted: They're all orphans from poor countries adopted by Ichiryuu, who they see as a father figure. |
| 133 | * ISeeDeadPeople: [[spoiler:They gain the ability to see Food Spirits after eating "PAIR".]] |
| 134 | * OutOfFocus: The other three, aside from Toriko, had it far worse than the 8 kings during the final ark. [[spoiler:Even their adventures of obtaining NEWS, ATOM and Earth were skipped]] |
| 135 | * OverlyLongTongue: [[spoiler:They get these after eating "ANOTHER". Except Sunny, who gets a mouth full of hair.]] |
| 136 | * PowerFist: [[spoiler:After eating "AIR", they become able to turn their left arms into the arms of their Appetite Demons. PAIR does the same for their right arm.]] |
| 137 | * SuperSpeed: [[spoiler:The Enbu dance requires them to do 10 individual positions per 0.1 second. Which means they have to do a total of 1000 moves in 10 seconds.]] |
| 138 | * SuperSenses: All the Heavenly Kings are incredibly heightened in one of their five senses. Toriko is smell, Coco is sight, Sunny is touch and Zebra is hearing. |
| 139 | * TookALevelInBadass: They all take several levels in order to enter the [[DeathWorld Gourmet World]]. |
| 140 | * UpbringingMakesTheHero[=/=]TykeBomb: They were all raised by Ichiryuu to be not only the Human World's best Gourmet Hunters but also its defenders. |
| 141 | |
| 142 | !!Coco |
| 143 | [[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/270px-Coco__5269.png]] |
| 144 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai (Japanese), Jarrod Greene (English), Eduardo Ramírez (Latin American Spanish) |
| 145 | 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. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * AcquiredPoisonImmunity: To the point where he can make new antidotes and poisons in only a few minutes. |
| 148 | * AllTheOtherReindeer: It's mentioned that Coco has experienced difficulty being around people in the past owing to his PoisonousPerson abilities. He's even considered a "First-class Dangerous creature" by IGO officials (the same classification that ''[[TokenEvilTeammate Zebra]]'' falls under), despite being the friendliest and most approachable of the Heavenly Kings. |
| 149 | * AuraVision: Due to his eyes being able to see light spectra that normal people cannot, he can see the electromagnetic field around living beings, allowing him to predict their future going off the field's size, color, and movements. |
| 150 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Coco is kind, soft-spoken, and polite. He can also generate and release deadly toxins at will. |
| 151 | * BigDamnHeroes: During the Regal Mammoth Arc. |
| 152 | * TheChessmaster: Coco is a ''brilliant'' strategist, as shown in the Regal Mammoth Arc and even more so in the Livebearer Arc. Hell, his actions against Livebearer put him very near MagnificentBastard territory. |
| 153 | * ElementalBaggage: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], at least at first. Because Coco's poison is synthesized from his own bodily fluids, in the beginning of series he could only produce about 15 liters of poison at a time and he'd dehydrate his body the more poison he uses. Once he masters Food Honor, this is no longer an issue and he can easily produce poison to easily create multiple full body clones without a problem. |
| 154 | * FantasticDrug: [[spoiler:His Devil Poison is essentially this. It's a highly addictive narcotic that causes those infected to become dependent on it to the point of him being able to [[MoreThanMindControl command them into doing his bidding]] and will have withdrawal symptoms like an addict if they don't get any. Even Grinpatch essentially joined his side momentarily just because he wanted to drink the poison.]] |
| 155 | * FortuneTeller: His "day job". |
| 156 | * GameFace: Coco's "intimidation" resembles a Japanese-style ghost (long black hair and a [[TheScream Scream]]-like expression. |
| 157 | * ImageSong: "Poison Teller". |
| 158 | * LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler:The results of the fight with Grinpatch show it ended in a complete draw - Coco's Devil Poison (comparable to, say, Sunny's Satan Hair) damn near killed him to use, Grinpatch went a bit crazy after it got in him, and Coco's hair turned white from poison overuse.]] He eventually recovers after the timeskip. |
| 159 | * MasterPoisoner: Coco is not only able to [[PoisonousPerson create and secrete various poisons in his own body]] - he also expert in all kinds of poisons, which suitable, since his enemies often have immunity, and he has to get crafty to kill them. Not only can he create poisons with various effects, from ones that paralyze targets to ones that make their flesh melt away, he also developed adaptive poison, which can adapt to victims' immune systems and strike down foes, who normally would be immune to it. He's so skilled, that he can poison even robots - by using gases, which turns into highly-corrosive acid on certain metals. Surprisingly, he [[BadPowersGoodPeople is the nicest person out of the Four Kings]]. |
| 160 | * NiceGuy: He's called the "Gentleman of the Four Kings". Though, compared to [[BigEater Toriko]], [[TheFightingNarcissist Sunny,]] and [[TokenEvilTeammate Zebra]], ''anyone'' would seem like a gentleman. |
| 161 | * OnlySaneMan: Compared to just how quirky or downright crazy his fellow Kings can be, he is the most normal in the group. |
| 162 | * PoisonousPerson: He's afraid that he can hurt people with his great amount of poisons, so he shuts himself in, only interacting to tell people their fortunes...that is, until the Puffer Whale arc. After mastering Honoring the Food, he can produce more poisons at once and newer types of poisons. |
| 163 | ** PoisonIsCorrosive: Can create acidic poison as well. |
| 164 | * ProphecyTwist: The two times he saw a Death Omen on somebody, they took fatal wounds, but they recovered from them. |
| 165 | ** More specifically, they were ''physically'' dead, as in their hearts stopped. It's just that they were revived moments later. |
| 166 | * TheSmartGuy: While all the Four Kings are smart, Coco is easily the one with the most use of it. The [[AllThereInTheManual databook]] notably gives him a 10/10 in intelligence. |
| 167 | * SpontaneousWeaponCreation: He can create weapons out of poison by combining it with the clotting agents from his blood. To date he has made [[KatanasAreJustBetter a katana]], a bow and arrow, a spear, and even a suit of armor. |
| 168 | ** MesACrowd: He can make clones of himself out of poison. [[spoiler:After the time-skip, he can bring them ''to life''.]] |
| 169 | * TallDarkAndHandsome |
| 170 | * TechnicolorToxin: In the manga, his skin turns red and supposedly his poison is also red. In the anime, it's [[PurplePoison purple]]. It seems that the stronger his poison gets, the darker its color. |
| 171 | * TonightSomeoneDies: He gets "Death Omens" when somebody is close to getting killed. However, see ProphecyTwist. |
| 172 | * UniversalPoison: [[spoiler:The only way to describe his Poison Virus, a virus that adapts into a poison to counteract the target's immune system.]] |
| 173 | |
| 174 | !!Sunny |
| 175 | [[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/270px-Sunny_GS1_4581.png]] |
| 176 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsuoIwata (Japanese), Creator/AaronRoberts (English), Creator/JoseGilbertoVilchis (Latin American Spanish) |
| 177 | Toriko's third brother, and one hell of a flamboyant guy. Sunny is obsessed with beauty and grace, and will refuse to associate with anything ugly. Despite that, his standards of beauty are quite lax, as he can find anything from a well-prepared meal to a person's passion to their work "beautiful". In addition, while he is vain, Sunny has a strong heart and will always do the right thing. |
| 178 | |
| 179 | Sunny's hair isn't just for show- he's trained his locks to be an incredibly sensitive organ that can do anything from helping him lift huge weights to allowing him to sense multiple things about the locations he's in. His Intimidation is even ''made out of his hair!'' |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * AgentPeacock: Flamboyant and powerful. |
| 182 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He's flamboyant, but nothing has suggested that he likes other men. |
| 183 | * AnimeHair: It's actually the source of his fighting style! |
| 184 | * AttackReflector: His Spatula technique in which his hairs take force and reflect it back. |
| 185 | ** His Super Spatula uses multiple hairs for a single force and ''multiply it'' by varying degrees (depending on how many hairs he uses). |
| 186 | * BishieSparkle: Particularly in the anime. |
| 187 | * DontThinkFeel: This is what Yosaku tells him to do to increase his power, and it works. |
| 188 | * TheFightingNarcissist: A rare non-evil version. |
| 189 | * HammerspaceHair: ''Weaponized''. To the extent that he can absorb energy attacks and spit them right back at his attacker with his Satan Vomit. |
| 190 | * ImageSong: "Arienhodo Beauty". |
| 191 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's vain, superficial and narcissistic, but he cares for his friends and brothers and always does what's right. |
| 192 | * HiddenDepths: During the Cooking Festival arc, he admits in an inner monologue that he doesn't truly care about his body (or looks) being wounded in battle, because he believes - as Ichiryuu teached him - true beauty lies in the heart. |
| 193 | * '''LongHairedPrettyBoy''': OH YEAH. |
| 194 | * TheMedic: His hairs are thin enough that they can harmlessly slip into a persons body and surgically stitch together their injuries if need be. It's really more of a stopgap to prevent a person from bleeding out and dying immediately however. |
| 195 | * 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".]] |
| 196 | * NotQuiteFlight: Because of how thin his hairs are when he uses them to stand on it looks like he's floating in the air. |
| 197 | * PeoplePuppets: [[spoiler:He can use his hairs to tie up enemies and control them like a puppeteer.]] |
| 198 | ** [[spoiler:It's not just 'tying them up'--that would be his "Hair Lock". Hair Marionette inserts his micron-width hairs into the opponent's body and controls their [[BodyHorror NERVES]].]] |
| 199 | * PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler:His [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Satan Hair]], which is his hair imbued with "Appetite Energy", making it an extremely shiny [[GoldenSuperMode gold color]] and ''eat anything it touches''.]] |
| 200 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: After mastering Honoring the Food, his hair count went from 300,000 to 1,000,000 and his range increased from 50 meters to 300 meters. |
| 201 | * PrehensileHair: To drive the point home, he can even control his hair ''after it's been cut off''. |
| 202 | * RazorFloss: He can use his extremely thin hairs to cut through or impale things. |
| 203 | * RunningGag: He always ends up having to fight the ugliest, most disgusting opponents around. Considering that he's a LongHairedPrettyBoy obsessed with "beauty", this does not make him happy. |
| 204 | * SiblingYinYang: He's flamboyant and obsessed with beauty, while his sister, Rin, is quite a tomboy. |
| 205 | * TranquilFury: Seeing the rotting corpses left behind by the Gourmet Corp. during the Regal Mammoth arc sends him into a stone-faced rage. |
| 206 | * WalkOnWater: Only using his hair like the legs of a water spider. |
| 207 | |
| 208 | !!Zebra |
| 209 | [[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/290px-Zebra_GM_3249.png]] |
| 210 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Kenji Matsuda (Japanese) |
| 211 | Easily the meanest of the Four Kings, Zebra is a prisoner from Honey Prison, the deadliest prison on the planet. He was put in there for eating 26 entire species into extinction, and has awful table manners and an even worse attitude. Yet, underneath it all, Zebra is a guy who isn't all ''that'' bad, and can be quite kindhearted to those around him. He has a strange hatred for "cocky" people, but like how Sunny can see different kinds of beauty as being valid, Zebra can see many different things as being cocky. This includes ''nature itself.'' |
| 212 | |
| 213 | Zebra's strength is his incredible voice and hearing, as Zebra is able to project his voice out like a physical force and use it as a weapon. This has a ton of uses, from acting as a shield to being able to scan the area around him. His Intimidation takes the form of a humanoid creature with large, bat-like ears. |
| 214 | ---- |
| 215 | * AccidentalHero: The news of Zebra's release from prison causes multiple countries to cease wartime activities and start forming pacts to enact countermeasures against him. Upon visiting a war-torn village in the Sand Desert, he's ''hailed as a savior god by the downtrodden residents'', much to his utter confusion. |
| 216 | * AntiHero: For one thing, he doesn't "give humble thanks" before eating something. |
| 217 | * AxCrazy: Holy shit, ''is he ever''. |
| 218 | * BarrierWarrior: Yes, really. He can use his voice to create armor made of sound that can protect other people. He uses it to protect Komatsu from afar during the Gourmet Pyramid arc. Much later he uses it to protect civilians during the battle with the Four Beasts. |
| 219 | * BerserkButton: "Cocky" people. Also, creatures that annoy him. |
| 220 | ** He particularly hates liars, as he feels that lying to someone's face is the most "cocky" thing a person can do. One of the main reasons he likes Komatsu (outside of his cooking) is because he's particularly honest. |
| 221 | * BigEater: To the point where he ate 26 species ''into extinction''. |
| 222 | * BloodKnight: Toriko himself says that Zebra loves fighting more than anyone else he's ever known. |
| 223 | * BrokenAce: Technically a Type 1, he's the strongest of the four, but lacks the moral restraints of the other three. |
| 224 | * BrownNote: He can emulate the frequency of his voice to instantly kill anyone. |
| 225 | * CatchPhrase: "Don't get cocky!" |
| 226 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: He's insanely badass, but staying sober is one of the few things he can't do. |
| 227 | * CreepyAsymmetry: His half-GlasgowGrin accentuates his intimidating appearance. |
| 228 | * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: Komatsu has to offer his services to Zebra to encourage him to take part in the Gourmet Pyramid and work together with Toriko.]] |
| 229 | * DeathFromAbove: His Thunder Noise and Meteor Noise, the former looking like lightning bolts. |
| 230 | * TheDreaded: The very ''news'' of him getting release is enough to cause a global, social, and economic crisis. Entire developing countries disappear because of it. |
| 231 | * ElementalPunch: [[spoiler:His Sound Knuckle, which puts a bubble of sound around his fist to make his punches more powerful.]] |
| 232 | * FlashStep: [[spoiler:His Onsoku Idou, allowing him to move at the speed of sound.]] |
| 233 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Originally, Toriko is the only one who really seems to enjoy his company with the other two bluntly refusing to even visit Zebra in prison. Particularly noteworthy when one of them is [[NiceGuy Coco]]. |
| 234 | * GameFace: Zebra's "Intimidation" resembles a massive, scarred, bat-like creature. |
| 235 | * GlasgowGrin: His cheek on one side of his mouth is ripped open all the way to his jaws, which came about as a result of his needing to open his mouth as wide as possible to use his strongest [[SuperScream sound based attacks]]. He actually complains after Toriko sews it up because he can't fit as much food into his mouth as before. |
| 236 | * HairTriggerTemper: It doesn't take much to set Zebra off at all. It doesn't help that he's a BloodKnight who's always itching for an excuse to start a fight. |
| 237 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: Belligerent and violent he may be, Zebra does have a nobler side even if he refuses to admit it. [[WellIntentionedExtremist The fact that the 26 species he wiped out were all considered highly dangerous and damaging creatures for the environment is rather telling]]. |
| 238 | * IGaveMyWord: He might be an AxCrazy SociopathicHero with [[TokenEvilTeammate highly questionable ethics]], but [[EvenEvilHasStandards he considers lying beneath him]]. If he says he'll do something, he'll do it. |
| 239 | * ImageSong: "Zebra!!" |
| 240 | * InformedFlaw: According to his "Capture Ability Data" Zebra's intelligence is 3/10. While Zebra is obviously the Heavenly King that does the least thinking, he rarely comes off particularly stupid, and often shows himself to be just as knowledgeable as the other Heavenly Kings about the environment or the physics of his abilities. |
| 241 | * {{Jerkass}}[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He tends to swerve in between. |
| 242 | * LargeAndInCharge: Bigger than Toriko as well as the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings. |
| 243 | * LivingLieDetector: Courtesy of his "Hell Ears" and the reason he hates liars so much. |
| 244 | * MakeMeWannaShout: ''To the extreme''. |
| 245 | ** The frequency of the sound vibrations does more damage than the sound itself. |
| 246 | * MegatonPunch: [[spoiler:His Beat Punch, where he channels sound vibrations through his punch to do even more damage.]] |
| 247 | * NightmareFace: Makes these when he gets really pissed off. [[GlasgowGrin The left side of his cheek has been torn off, showing all of his jagged teeth]], doesn't help either. |
| 248 | * NotDistractedByTheSexy: Warden Love's pheromones have absolutely no effect on him. |
| 249 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He's considered the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings when it comes to pure destructive potential. Which is why IGO put him in jail in the first place. Zebra openly considers himself to be more of a force of nature than a man, to the point where he frequently claims it's up to other people, or even the very environment, to adapt to him rather then the other way around. |
| 250 | * PrisonsAreGymnasiums: As it turns out, the experience of getting locked into [[HellholePrison Honey Prison]] has only made Zebra ''stronger''. As far as he's concerned, the brutal tortures and attempts to execute him are his workout routines and he gets around the prisons policy of giving no food or water to the inmates on the lower floors by killing and eating the various [[{{Kaiju}} Execution Beasts]] that try to carry out his sentences. |
| 251 | * TheRival: He’s Toriko’s main rival, out of all the Four Heavenly Kings. |
| 252 | * ShapingYourAttacks: Zebra can use his [[MakeMeWannaShout destructive voice]] in ways you never thought were possible. This includes cutting, electrocution, making explosions or barriers, and even laser beams. |
| 253 | * SociopathicHero: Emphasis on "sociopath". |
| 254 | * SmugSuper: His overall attitude, he's confident because frankly, he has a lot of badassery to back it up. |
| 255 | * TokenEvilTeammate: He shows absolutely no remorse for his actions. None. |
| 256 | * TookALevelInKindness: At the beginning of the series, he was a bloodthirsty sociopath who just ate whatever he wanted; as of recent arcs, he's actively saving people from beasts and villains of his own volition. |

| 260 | !!Ichiryuu |
| 261 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-Ichiryuu_Formal_Dress_1842.png]] |
| 262 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenyuHoriuchi (Japanese), Creator/RBruceElliott (English), Andrés García (Latin American Spanish) |
| 263 | ---- |
| 264 | |
| 265 | * TheAce: Alongside his fellow disciples of Acacia, he’s easily one other the strongest people to ever walk the planet. |
| 266 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: He has very Tan skin. |
| 267 | * BigEater: Notable for the fact that he's ''[[AvertedTrope not]]''. While he's perfectly capable of eating massive quantities of food (doing so to awaken his Gourmet Cells in preparation to battle Midora), when left to his own devices he prefers to eat tiny (even by the standards of real life) portions of completely plain foods such as a small bowlful of beans. [[spoiler: His appetite demon, Don Slime, felt no end of frustration at this and constantly urged Ichiryuu to stuff himself with the most extravagant gourmet foods]]. It's telling that, in a world where how strong you are depends on how much delicious food you can eat, he's still one of the most powerful beings in all the world despite barely eating anything. |
| 268 | * BigGood: Shares this role with Jiro. [[spoiler: Jiro might well have to shoulder this burden alone now...]] |
| 269 | ** [[spoiler: Good news, Midora spares him!...but then a Blue Nitro finishes him off.]] |
| 270 | * BizarreTasteInFood: He's partial to things that most people don't eat, reasoning that these were unknown flavours precisely because nobody eats them normally, and it's implied that some of the things he eats don't even qualify as food! Case in point, one of the first things we see him do is eat the cork that was used to stopper the wine bottle Toriko brought him as a gift. |
| 271 | * CainAndAbel: Zigzagged a bit. He and Midora may not be blood brothers, but they're still bitter enemies and refer to one another as brothers, though Ichiryu wishes peaceful reconciliation was possible. [[spoiler: Even at the end, Ichiryu seems oddly proud of his brother's power and deeply wishes they could have shared a last meal together.]] |
| 272 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: When he was younger, he'd pass out after drinking a single drop of booze. He's grown out of it with age, drinking wines with alcohol contents as high as ''85%'' (though he still complains about its strength) though Jirou mentions his favourite drink is still Maboro Sake, a extremely low alcohol beverage that can be cheaply bought anywhere. |
| 273 | * CoolOldGuy: Ichiryuu is, hands down, one of the three strongest men alive. The entirety of the Gourmet Corps' elites, save for Midora, would have no chance against him. The only people who stand on his tier are Midora and their brother disciple Jiro. [[spoiler: And very possibly Joie]]. |
| 274 | * CrazyPrepared: His own full course menu [[spoiler: is actually a method to create a nigh unlimited food supply should the world ever suffer from massive famine.]] |
| 275 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He acts very goofy and senile to Toriko when we first see him. And then the sparring match starts... |
| 276 | * GravityMaster: He can create a gravitational pull to draw in creatures much larger than himself, reverse the gravitational polarity to push them away and fly through the air. |
| 277 | ** [[spoiler: In truth, due to his WindsOfDestinyChange ability, he is able to find the minority atoms that keep living things on the group and then alter the probability of him staying on the ground.]] |
| 278 | * HisNameIs: [[spoiler:After being defeated by Midora, he is struck down by a [[KingMook Blue Nitro]] before he can speak the name of the true enemy that must be vanquished.]] |
| 279 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler:After basically showing he could kick anyone except the leader's ass easily in the Gourmet Corp., it is revealed that a lot of his Gourmet Cells were ''sleeping''. No telling how strong he will be once he is back to peak condition.]] |
| 280 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By a Blue Nitro right after Midora defeated and spared him.]] [[spoiler: Even so, he appears later on in series in the spirit world.]] |
| 281 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: This guy will kick your ass with giant ''chopsticks!'' |
| 282 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Implied to have been his failure to kill Midora long ago after besting him.]] |
| 283 | * NotWorthKilling: [[spoiler:Midora claims this is why he spared him.]] |
| 284 | * PeacefulInDeath: [[spoiler:After his death, he is shown smiling.]] |
| 285 | * PromotionToParent: For all of the Four Heavenly Kings. He loves them like his own sons. |
| 286 | * OldMaster: To Toriko, Coco, Sunny and Zebra. |
| 287 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: To IGO, as Ichiryuu is the chairman of the organization. |
| 288 | * RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Essentially his ability to alter quantum physics through minority atoms in order to change the laws and nature of an object, making him able to alter the world's laws as he sees fit.]] |
| 289 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Was the first student of Acacia, a Gourmet Hunter now worshiped as a god.]] |
| 290 | * ShapingYourAttacks: [[spoiler:He can use Appetite Energy to create a pair of giant chopsticks to pick things up or use as melee weapons or projectiles.]] |
| 291 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the anime, he lives in his showdown with Midora. The manga ''almost'' followed the same path, but he is ultimately killed by the Blue Nitro seconds afterward.]] |
| 292 | * StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:Ichiryuu's "Minority World" where the minority atoms, which disobey the normal laws of nature and physics, of an object take over effectively making him a RealityWarper.]] |
| 293 | ** It's revealed later on that [[spoiler:not only was his gourmet Demon one of the strongest in the Red Universe, Don Slime, but He himself defeated Don Slime single-handedly.]] |
| 294 | * WalkOnWater: More like he hops across it like a stone skipping on water. |
| 295 | * WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler: His appetite demon, Don Slime, has stated that Ichiryuu was still holding back against Midora in their battle and have could actually have been a lot stronger if he had actually been interested in evolving his Gourmet Cells. Keep in mind that Ichiryuu was already one of the most powerful beings on the planet at the time of his death.]] |
| 296 | * 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.]] |
| 297 | * WorldsStrongestMan: The president of IGO was acknowledged by both his allies and his enemies as the World's Strongest Man. He was implied to be able to defeat many of the Gourmet Corps top fighter simultaneously and was shown to effortlessly defeat multiple Gourmet World Beasts with capture levels in the hundreds. [[spoiler:During his fight with Midora, Ichiryu was holding back and was not trying to kill his opponent, only using a fraction of his real power and refusing to use his Appetite Demon even in his last moments.]] |

| 301 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JurotaKosugi (Japanese), Brian Mathis (English), Jorge Ornelas (Latin American Spanish) |
| 302 | ---- |
| 303 | * AxCrazy: When he '''[[PowerLimiter releases his Knocking]]''', he fights like a berserker. |
| 304 | * TheAlcoholic: All his dishes in his Full Course Menu are to do with alcohol, for one! |
| 305 | * BloodKnight: When he releases his Knocking, he doesn't know who he's going to attack. |
| 306 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "Did you just call me HANDSOME?!" |
| 307 | --> Everyone present: "No." |
| 308 | * CoolOldGuy: Although not old as Ichiryu [[spoiler: especially considering that Ichiryu is over [[Really700YearsOld 400 years old]]]], he's pretty much the closest thing to a TeamDad that the main group has. |
| 309 | * DeathGlare: To the Gerold, followed by a "[[PreAsskickingOneLiner Would you mind getting back inside?]]" and a CurbStompBattle. |
| 310 | * TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler: When he goes all out, as some unfortunate mooks found out.]] |
| 311 | * MegatonPunch: "FRYING PAN PUNCH!" |
| 312 | ** [[spoiler: When he goes all out, he has "WANTED PUNCH".]] |
| 313 | * OhCrap: [[spoiler: When Toriko breaks the glass of the arena.]] |
| 314 | * ReformedCriminal: Was a bandit in this youth, until he was [[DefeatEqualsFriendship defeated/recruited by]] [[BigGood Ichiryu]]. |
| 315 | ** [[spoiler: He's now the president of IGO!]] |
| 316 | * RunningGag: People call him by name, only for him to mishear "Handsome". To the point that he mishears a panicking baby Regal Mammoth's shouts for "Handsome", at which point everyone and everything--including the panicking baby Regal Mammoth--stop to correct him. |
| 317 | * SuperMode: He also can use Knocking, this time to boost his stats up as well as his size. Or so we thought; the Knocking '''LIMITS''' his power, and he releases it to fight at full power. |
| 318 | * ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler: His immediate concern for the wellbeing of the devastated Human World, despite being heavily injured himself, causes Defense Director Rei to humor Mansam's RunningGag and falsely admit to calling him "Handsome".]] |

| 323 | ---- |
| 324 | * ActionGirl: Tries her best to be one, though she's sadly [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed by other characters]]. [[spoiler: Chapter 221 shows that she took an upgrade.]] |
| 325 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: She is technically "killed" by Starjun, but comes back thanks to her Gourmet Cells and a kiss from Toriko.]] |
| 326 | * BattleCouple: [[spoiler: With Toriko now they are engaged!]] |
| 327 | * TheBeastMaster: Her job at the first Biotope Colosseum. She uses different scents to either excite or calm down the various monsters before/after they fight. |
| 328 | * HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: Marries Toriko in the second to last chapter of the series.]] |
| 329 | * ImageSong: "Ring Ring" |
| 330 | ** StealthPun: The kanji that make up her name means "little bell". |
| 331 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Armlets that shoot perfumes and scent clouds. On the other hand, said perfumes includes very useful ones effective against beasts or as a power-up for others. |
| 332 | ** [[spoiler:Starts to dual-wield sais as seen in chapter 221.]] |
| 333 | * OfficialCouple: Rin eventually marries [[spoiler:Toriko]] towards the end of the series. |
| 334 | * RunningGag: Early on, she has a tendency to mix up Battle Fragrance and Relax Perfume. |
| 335 | * ScarsAreForever: Her scar is a bit unique in that she took a razor '''to her own face''' solely so she could have scars like Toriko. It hurt too much after the first one for her to keep going, though. |
| 336 | * SiblingYinYang: She's quite a tomboy, as opposed to her '''incredibly''' campy brother Sunny. |
| 337 | * SingleTargetSexuality: '''Toriko'''. [[spoiler: This actually saves her life, believe it or not. And now they are engaged.]] |
| 338 | * SweetTooth: Eats mostly sweets, much to her brother's dismay. |
| 339 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: In the anime, the tomboy to Tina's girly girl. |
| 340 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: The next time we see her in action against the Gourmet Corp. army, she's putting tons of beasts to sleep at once and takes on Bei, Doshan, and Zaiper with her [[LaserBlade Fragrance Swords]] And she ''wins''.]] |
| 341 | ** [[spoiler: She's now a Research Chief at IGO.]] |
| 342 | * {{Tsundere}}: Seen to be very rude at Mansam, she also blushes whenever Toriko looks at her. |
