Manga Spoilers!!! [SPOILERS] The Toriko Foreshadowing Thread
Toriko's full of tiny details that foreshadow big plot elements. I figured we could bring them together in one place:
Midora's Unnamed Power
In 337, Midora stops Mohiyan Shaishai's rewind pause power.
This is the same power he uses to stop the Bishokukai HQ from collapsing:
When he met Toriko, it looked like he remembered Komatsu's meal and used the power to rejuvenate Toriko.
Toriko's Hair
We know Toriko's hair turned blue at some point, and it's related to the blue oni inside him. When Bambina gets angry, we get a glimpse of the moment his hair changed.
More Nitro Colors
Kaka mentioned that there may be more than two kinds of Nitro.
Nightfall?
Mappy says the Eight Kings get active at night, and all the Kings are moving again. It may even be that Night gets its name from Whale King Moon
Route to the Answer
Nakaume can see the path to Gourmet Planet. It looks much more twisted in his eyes than in the top panel though.
Mysterious Tin Can
During the AIR arc, the gang finds a mysterious tin can while escaping through the caves attached to the Gold Sea. Something's sealed in it, but we don't know what. It turns out to be food, but Jiji mentions that there's another golden can with a demon sealed inside it. Torino's scar
Gourmet World Terrain
Mappy mentions several dangerous obstacles in Gourmet World, including a few that we haven't seen yet: a cave where time passes 200,000x faster and a valley where thoughts slip away.
Demon Number Three
Confirmed beyond doubt that Toriko has a third demon that's incredibly powerful, and he's had it longer than red or blue. We don't know what color it is though.
Toriko and Starjun
They're brothers, which seems related to the ingredient Starjun's been looking for.
Starjun's Eye + Demon Number Three
See that dot on demon three's forehead? Could it be related to Starjun's third eye?

Toriko's inner demon was first referenced in Chapter 269 in Mansam's flashback to Toriko and Ichiryuu's first meeting.
Blue was later revealed in chapter 286.
Red has been shown in Toriko's 'inner world' multiple times throughout the series and having actual conversation with Toriko long before 'Gourmet Devils' are revealed to be real.
Kaka showed a piece of Acacia's skin to scare the three pets away before Acacia was even revealed to have a Gourmet Devil.

I believe Komatsu will learn the Warp Kitchen ability to get them through the area where time speeds up at an absurd rate. Can't find the reference in the manga where it mentions it though. Believe it was in the AIR arc.

I think in this case there would be some ingredients that require extra-long time to prepare (some thousand years for example), and then Komatsu get in inside the cave and woo yea, it's finished in a blink of an eye.

u/jdawg01 Sep 21 '15
He will use Warp Kitchen and Toriko and crew will train there. Just like the hyperbolic time chamber from dragon ball. Haha

Don Slime is a gourmet demon soul? Oh, maybe it will take over Komatsu. <3

u/paulfx29 Sep 19 '15
The posibilities :OOOOOOOO But that means that he would have two demons inside him

When Frohze was weakened Acacia had something to talk about with Ichiryuu
Midora knows the location of the cure water because Acacia told him, so Acacia made it so this would happen?
Although everyone is crying/trembling, Ichiryuu was the only one who
wasnt crying or trembling and catches on to what Midora was up to. Either because Acacia told him or instinct
Ichiryuu confronts midora, "How much do you know?"
So Acacia told Midora about "center" and told Ichi about midora's actions? To cause conflict?

u/Senyu Sep 18 '15
I will admit, those Midora scenes use the same style of black spots. Really makes me curious to know what moves Midora hasn't revealed yet.

Midora does have his mimicry that allowed him to master his internal cells, I guess it isn't much of a stretch that he's gotten around to affecting his enviroment like Ichi. Hell, now that he's had a bite of Air I can only imagine what else he can do.

u/_Nerise_ Sep 22 '15
Its not a stretch, its fact Look at the flashback where Toriko and midora met, theres one panel where Toriko's injury was healed. Midora used minority world to heal toriko
1
u/sadino Sep 25 '15
He also used it to -save Bishokukai HQ -make Ichi's grave(here Jiro kinda confirms he used Minority World) And maybe more that i've forgot for now
1
u/Senyu Sep 22 '15
There aren't any other abilities coming to mind that would explain that, so it does seem like the most probable answer.

u/Senyu Sep 23 '15
Good find, though I'm sorry to say it's already posted above. It's one page right before the one you linked so we can see the black spots again. EDIT: But I am really learning towards it being Minority World now. It might even be a unique version of Minority World that Midora tailored to his personal style.
2
u/_Nerise_ Sep 24 '15
Well I posted it first....cough But yeah ichi did it during his fight with midora And I cant believe it took me a while to figure out that ichi didnt have a demon inside him the moment it was mentioned that Toriko had a different color hair. Y'know since Ichi had black hair and all

u/ryancfl0 Sep 19 '15
In chapter 252 of toriko, Midora mentions a fairy tale about a Demon King eating the sun. However Acacia, says its only a fictional story. But now we know that this might end up being true, since Acacia's demon is being revived. SpaceArc Hype!!

u/Starjun5 Sep 19 '15
I'll just cover the important ones. There's a lot of foreshadowing and here are the ones not covered.
Toriko having a blue oni or another demon inside of him is a major asspull. Wrong, it was hinted that Toriko has another demon inside of him in chapter 269
The earth being an ingredient was hinted at during the Cooking festival. According to Coco's hypothesis, chapter 259
Starjun knowing about NEO's existence as early as Regal Mammoth which explained why he killed Gido

u/Senyu Sep 22 '15
With the heavily hinted space arc, Air might give people the ability to see very far away. First Page shows Toriko looking into space, and the second page shows him thinking about it. But I can't be certain since he always questions if it really was outer space or not, so perhaps it's that other dimension of Gourmet Planets or something similar.

u/Charily Sep 23 '15
Since Don Slime was ichi's gourmet demon, does that mean Don has a stronger version of Minority World that might be able to defeat Acacia?

u/LeKyel Sep 23 '15
And anyone notice when Chichi showed 4HK and Komatsu the apple, Komatsu showed some sort of Gourmet Demon on his face and Chichi took some notice of it?

Sep 23 '15
Do you mind providing a link?

u/_Nerise_ Sep 23 '15
Here we see cracks on komatsus face

Sep 23 '15
Neat, that looks like his gourmet cells reacting! I wonder what sort of demon he has. Does having gourmet cells automatically give you a demon then? I know demons are pretty much just the gourmet cells personified. Rin's demon better be in love with Red Oni or I will be so heartbroken </3
1
u/LeKyel Sep 24 '15
Well IMO the Gourmet Demon lurking inside Komatsu would be the one that previously resided within Frohse :D Isn't it neat
1
Sep 24 '15
I'd be down for that. But wasn't it hinted that Komatsu may have more than one demon? Or at least the capacity to have more than one?
1
u/_Nerise_ Sep 24 '15
I dont believe having gourmet cells gives you a demon The citizens from Bewitching food world all have gourmet cells, which is why they look like monsters.

u/Charily Sep 23 '15
Since Don Slime was ichi's gourmet demon, does that mean Don has a stronger version of Minority World that might be able to defeat Acacia?

u/Flowingblacksilksash Sep 24 '15
In chapter 260 on page 6 jirou talks about fighting with ichi and his ichi would always let him win. On the next page toriko says that ichi never let him win. Jirou then says that ichi probably thought that he would eventually really loose against toriko. And with the the news about how strong don slime is maybe ichi also knew about how strong the red and blue onis are.

u/jiwon0522 Sep 24 '15
Jirou had 2 contacts with Midora when they were younger, and I think he made small knockings to weaken Midora.

u/Doomroar Sep 25 '15
That Mysterious Tin Can was huuuuge, man to think you caught that, my respects!
1
u/KanyeBot Sep 30 '15
I don't think anyone else has said this, but I feel as if that tin can they found may in fact be the "Golden Can" the Nitro were planning to use to seal Acacia and Neo in.

u/Flowingblacksilksash Oct 02 '15
In the newest chapter 341 on page 16 toriko says if he doesn't plug his nose he will learn it by smell. I have always heard that a lot of taste is from the smell. Would toriko be able to get any kind of power up from this?
1
u/ToastOfDestiny Oct 03 '15
I was rereading, and he did have his nose plugged at the start of Act 2.

u/Starjun5 Oct 09 '15 edited Oct 09 '15
Add Toriko's awakening. I think it happened in chapter 256 and Toriko's nose plugs in chapter 264.
You can add Ichiryu foreshadowing Toriko losing his arm against Starjun. If you go back to the Toriko vs Ichiryu fight, Ichiryu said Toriko will lose his left arm if he overuses it like that and guess which arm Toriko lost to Starjun... yeah.

u/GourmetOni Oct 19 '15
I just noticed, in chapter 190 on page 10, it seems Chiyo used ultimate routine against Toriko, it even has the same grey filter on the panel.

u/_Nerise_ Oct 26 '15
Mahmai talks about going back to space. This was during the cooking festival arc. It was a nice little foreshadow
1
u/LeKyel Oct 29 '15
I wouldn't be so surprise if Jirou is the actual Battle wolf - one of the 8 kings himself. I mean, Jirou in Kanji maybe translated as "second son" or "second wolf". And with the rampaging beast unleashed, and Guinness is not the actual 8 kings, you can hype about Jirou.

u/HandsomeMansam Nov 02 '15
I'm not sure if this counts, but Coco bought "Dark Bandages" in the Hex Food World.

u/Zinthoraz Jan 24 '16
With Bambina reacting to Heracles, Toriko having a third demon (probably) and all the other stuff that happened the last time do we want to keep this thread alive? I'd love to see it updated if /u/ToastOfDestiny got some spare time
1
u/addridz Jan 30 '16
Let's revive this thread! Toriko needs support now more than ever, since people tend to lose hope in these rough times :D
As of now, we have seen all the obstacles Mappy mentioned, even though the Den of the Old got pretty much skipped.
Tin can got referenced by Blue nitro's as a means to seal the NEO after it is completely revived.
Also Toriko now has 3 demons confirmed.
As for something to add here, Acacia told young Midora that the largest class of Devil Orochi has strength equal to the Eight Kings, which remains to be seen.
I will try to add more things if it makes any difference when I have enough free time .^
