Why don't we get manly badass characters in WSJ anymore?

The only mistake they did with Toriko was trying to push it as the next big thing. It was fine as it was and honestly, had some fucking great moments and fights.
>everything about the final fight
I'll always love it.

>Why don't we get manly badass characters in WSJ anymore?
Because the 80s are over and the current market favors teens and more bishounen protagonists. Not like they weren't popular back in the day either.

Glad you enjoyed Toriko though. It's shit on a lot because of how hard Jump pushed it and the abysmal anime. What was your favorite arc? Mine would have to be the Gourmet Casino.

We got Andy in Undead Unluck. He's pretty badass and the manga feels pretty 90s like Toriko did. You should give that a go.

i came so close to picking this up, but i just can't stand cooking manga

Imo it failed because of its manly designs. Or maybe if they made Komatsu's design less ugly and more generic for selfinsert and the girls cuter it would have been more successful

Do so, I don't like cooking Manga but toriko is more about adventures and fights, it's pretty fun

Just jumped to a random page to see what I'd be in for.

Nope. Nope can't do it. This is too dumb.

toriko had to live under the shadow of Naruto and OP, and bleach in the west, not to mention gintama, reborn, medaka, and beelzbub, and thats only the battle manga, it also had to deal with nisekoi's and assclass's popularity. Also the shitty anime. If Toriko came out around mha and bc I think it would've been more popular.

It’s more action then cooking
>search for crazy designed food or animal
>fight it or fight some asshole trying to take it
>beat them, cook the food
That’s the extremely tldr of most of Toriko. It’s some good food porn too. Hopefully you’re not a fatass because this manga will make you hungry

Toriko is one of the gayest MCs in Jump

It's way more just actions and exploring than cooking.
It doesn't have any stupid recipe shit beyond "cut this shit up and cook damn that tasty!"

nice

This is something the author used just for that arc. He dropped it afterwards

I wish it was, it would've made it a 10/10 instead of a 9/10.

He was so bad ass.

I wish it was about cooking. My largest compliant is that actual cooking was such a small part of it. I was particularly annoyed when X beast was "so tasty, we can just eat it raw!" Part of the reason the penultimate chapter was so amazing to me is that it finally delivered on the cooking aspect that I had been craving the entire manga.

I would have liked less fighting and more cooking, but I understand that's not really what the series was.

Fuck you, that's great. Manly men using pseudoscience to justify the bullshit happening is always fun. See part 1-2 of Jojo.

Also there's absolutely nothing wrong with what's said on the page, you know calories are an unit of energy and you can measure how much energy it takes to move something very fast, right ?

Yeah, I also would like more cooking and tasting. It's still great though.

I think you're right. Shonen audience is so thirsty today for new stuff they would slatch onto Toriko if it was a modern day series.

The competiton would be pretty weak too, so it safely would make it to #4-#5 rank weekly.

That fight was fucking kino
It's a pity Toriko isn't popular

I love Tommy.

Too bad he went out like a massive jobber.

The saddest thing was that the 8 kings couldn't be properly introduced because of the rush.

We didn't even know the Deer's name for example. The kings were my favourite in the whole series.

Speaking of the Deer King I really liked how towards the end of the series you had things like Ichiryu’s Minority World, Midora’s Hungry Space, and everything the kings could do. Meanwhile Toriko himself even at the end was just really good at punching really hard.

Define 'manly'.

That arc is what made me love the series. Pure kino.

Let's not forget Jirou who knocked the Earth itself.

Also I just love how over the top this whole thing was.

Mother snake being 220.000 km long and 15 quadrillion tonnes, Herac being 22 km tall and such. The gourmet Palm of Acacia that covered half of the Earth

No anime studio wants to do them justice because anime is for women and fags

>Imo it failed because of its manly designs.
it fail because of Toei

>My largest compliant is that actual cooking was such a small part of it
it really wasn't

They also gave it a fucking awful anime adaptation.

That's how most Shounen MCs play out.
I mean shit even KUWABARA is more hax than Yusuke.

Attendre et espérer Samurai 8.

the anime killed Toriko it was Kimetsu no Yaiba in reverse

The tryhard shilling WSJ did for this shit was fucking unbearable

Compared to procuring the ingredient cooking was often secondary, basically it amounted to let Komatsu have his way with the food for five minutes and it was good to go.

The Toriko mangaka retired, right ?

MURDER

>The tryhard shilling WSJ did for this shit was fucking unbearable
Toei is the only reason it didn't work

THEFT

The cooking was the worst part because it meant that the chapter would be Komatsu focused and he was the worst character.

Rape?

Toriko was too far ahead of its' time.
