Toriko/YMMV

"Toriko: Komatsu, how about you and me form a "combo"?"
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: An anime was made.
 * Awesome Music: Guts! Guts Guts! Guts Guts!
 * Born Lucky: Apparently there is something called "Food Luck", and Komatsu and Toriko have it.
 * Complete Monster: The Bishokukai in general, Staajyun might get away with being a Noble Demon based on him not attacking those who are not in his way but it's a little early yet to say for certain.
 * Crazy Awesome: Pretty much everything.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: As expected of this kind of manga, there are a lot. Check out the page here.
 * Everything about the Battle Wolves is concentrated awesome.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Check out its new page here.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Check out the page here.
 * Dueling Shows: With One Piece. Its author even considers the author of {{Toriko}] to be his rival/equal.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: The first character poll put Uumen Umeda in 8th place over more prominent characters like Tommyrod, Melk, Rin, Setsuno, Jiro, Mansom, and Zonge. You could count the number of Umeda's appearances on one hand.
 * Fridge Brilliance: The reason why Toriko spent so much time trying out the exhibits at Life, the country of healing seemed to be so much different than his normal curiosity, was because it was different. Toriko is  the exhibits aren't food, the only thing that actually gets Toriko excited so it makes sense.
 * Ho Yay: lots of it, to the point of TorikoXKomatsu being practically canon by now.
 * Ho Yay: lots of it, to the point of TorikoXKomatsu being practically canon by now.

"Komatsu: Did you do something to me!?*
 * Coco becomes very concerned for Komatsu in episode 4 and 5, after Komatsu becomes friendly with him even though Coco is poisonous.
 * Not to mention the last page of Gourmet 34:

Sani: I diiidn't. Do you want me to do something?"

""There are records of huge fish that that level of chef have handled that kept swimming for years without noticing they're dying.""
 * This after he pretty much fawned over Komatsu's cooking skills, saying he's beautiful when he works...
 * Toriko compares being "tasted" by Sani's hair sensors as being licked by him. In the show, this is demonstrated by a shot of Sani literally licking Toriko's cheek. Sani's descriptions of people's actions/emotions towards things as "beautiful" doesn't help - Komatsu's cooking, Coco's entrance...
 * HSQ: The introduction of
 * Promptly one-upped by Setsuno.
 * Master Chin takes it up to more ludicrous levels.
 * Memetic Badass: Zebra will kick your ass from his prison cell.
 * Memetic Molester: Livebearer seems to be approaching this status, thanks to his... off appearance and suggestive dialogue towards Komatsu (although to be fair, it was moreso to eat his brain).
 * Nausea Fuel: If this manga in general is full of Food Porn, observed dietary preferences of bishokukai serve as Fetish Retardant to it. For members of "Beautiful Food Organization" (for that's how their name is translated) they sure are prone to eating disgusting things in disturbing ways.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Tommyrod. Good God, what a monster.
 * Grinpatch. Insect-emulating mutated abomination, with a taste for others' despair. And he means it literally. Only fails to be the most disgusting and nightmarish character in this manga due to being completely overshadowed by Tommyrod.
 * Zebra can make it sound like he's standing right behind you even when he's tens of kilometers away.
 * That fish-skeleton-thing at the end of chapter 184.
 * That fish-skeleton-thing at the end of chapter 184.
 * That fish-skeleton-thing at the end of chapter 184.
 * That fish-skeleton-thing at the end of chapter 184.


 * by the same token Old Lady Chiyo, just everything she does.
 * Tommyrod definitely counts.
 * Needs More Love: While being successful domestically (it's even viewed as Japan's replacement for Bleach), the series hasn't been getting nearly the attention it deserves outside Japan.
 * The Scrappy: Tina the news reporter seems to be this for fans of the manga, as she is put into a lot of arcs to add as a Ms. Exposition. Fans who were introduced to the anime don't seem to hate her as much.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Uncanny Valley: Livebearer... does not look right, even for the series' cartoony artstyle.
