Goodreads Synopsis:
Toriko is a Gourmet Hunter out to eat the world!
In a savage world ruled by the pursuit of the most delicious foods, it's either eat or be eaten! While searching for the tastiest foods imaginable, Gourmet Hunter Toriko travels the world with his bottomless stomach, facing every beast in his way.
In the final moments before the Gourmet Eclipse, Toriko and the gang finally reunite and partake in the parts of Acacia’s Full-Course Meal that have been captured so far. What sort of power will the Full-Course Meal impart to Toriko and his friends? Meanwhile, things are getting a little too slimy for Don Slime as he goes head-to-head against Neo, who gets more and more powerful with every bite! With the end of the world looming and the coming of God imminent, will anyone be ready for the disasters to come?

Review:
I didn't mind reading this series at one point, but I think it's
gotten too serious for me. Given that I wasn't following the story
much, and it's getting to the end, I suppose that makes sense.
The characters are reunited as this volume starts, and they're in the
middle of a crazy storm, when they decide to take a break and eat the
four foods they've saved. (I don't get why that would work? How can
they just take a break?)
We move away from them for a bit, as we see these two crazy creatures
having a show down. As the volume nears its end, we finally get to
see the final ingredient they're after: God. They've mentioned it for
a long time, and they're finally upon it.
I'm unsure what's going to happen after they win this one. The plot
and world of this series is so hard to follow, sometimes.
