Toriko Vol. 32 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Heracles the Horse King turns out to be no mere enemy but a guardian who has nurtured and protected the ingredient Air, sustaining the continent's entire ecosystem. Toriko realizes brute force will never be enough and chooses a way of fighting that balances respect for his foe with his hunger for food. Komatsu, meanwhile, accomplishes preparation of Air's fruit that would take an ordinary person a lifetime, through unfathomable focus. The series' core idea, that obtaining an ingredient means understanding it rather than merely taking it, shines through, accelerating toward the cell changes and Teppei's return next volume.
