Beasts beware the power of the ZONGE SMASH!◊ The manga version was just as "effective", but the animators really ran with it.
Surprise Apples. They get tastier the more you surprise them. They're also called "Human Face Apples". Guess why.
And who got the highest level of surprise/taste? Zonge. By farting on them.
When Teppei accidentally reveals there is no Century Soup, causing the ship to turn back without them.
The look on Komatsu's face when he finds out Melk II isn't a boy.
"THERE'S NOTHING THERE!"
Toriko makes a noble, badass and dramatic speech when faced with the prospect of losing his food memories in a game, saying the past doesn't matter....Before immediately relying on Coco, much to Coco's chagrin.
The anime reveals how they settled their argument. By Rock Paper Scissors
Actually, the manga showed it that way as well (albeit in one panel).
The grin that the characters get when they drink or even think about Century Soup. Coco refuses to show his face when he tries some.
Sunny declines the soupbecause of those silly grins.
The Dodorian Fruit. It is a fruit so stinky that its smell lingers in a place for 300 years, and when it ripens and drops, it knocks Toriko and Komatsu clean out, wakes them back up, and knocks them back out sporadically for one month. Beforehand, the intense smell actually rotted their clothes and food.
And the explosion causes everyone in the entire Human world to cringe in horror. Except Zonge.
And Sunny. In his case, he doesn't just cringe, he passes out, foaming at the mouth.
When Setsuno shows Toriko and Komatsu her GIANT vat of Century Soup, the two start gushing over the amount and types of ingredients in it. She dramatically tells them that the soup is incomplete...but the boys are too busy gushing to hear her. So she tries again. Still not paying attention. Getting annoyed, she screams that the soup is incomplete. That gets their attention, and she angrily tells them to pay attention.
When Toriko has to go through the process of growing his arm back he thinks it'll be fun since it pretty much just involves him eating a lot of food. Cue the next panel, when the process kicks in and Toriko has gone bone-thin, begging for food
Before their battle with the Four Beasts, the Heavenly Kings discuss their philosophy on life. Toriko, Coco, and Sunny provide their own ideas on success and failure. What's Zebra's philosophy?
Who cares?
The climax against the the real body of the Four Beast. Beaten and barely alive, Toriko, Coco, Sunny and Zebra pour their entire life and predator aura into their mightiest technique, an energy representation of their very concept of Hunger: "Ou Shouka Bansan". The kicker — it takes the form of freaking Pac-Man.
Tina freaking out when she sees Zebra through her video camera in episode 68. She tosses the camera into the air, then can't decide whether she's more concerned about it or her safety.
Next episode she's doing "Dishing with Tina" with Warden Love as the guest. She appraises a diamond-encrusted...black thing that is probably worth more than a hundred years of Tina's salary. Then she finds out it was used to shackle Zebra's wrist. The value shrinks to ZERO.
Meet Buranchi. He's the Number 3 chef in the world, and is to chefs what Zebra is to gourmet hunters, and owns an eatery in the Gourmet World. And his reaction to meeting Komatsu is flat-out hilarious. He basically throws a hysterical tantrum when he learns that the chef the Four Kings praise is just a little guy, while Komatsu's in awe of meeting someone of Buranchi's status.
Buranchi: There's no way in Hell you're higher than me!! No way I believe that!!
Komatsu: Huh? Me? Higher than you, Buranchi-san? Of course I'm not!
Buranchi: Hell yeah you're not- What?!
Shortly thereafter, he starts a shouting/insult match with Setsuno and Zaus (the only chefs ranged higher than him) after blowing by them in the race, while poor Komatsu (who was dragged along) tries to calm things down unsuccessfully.
Rin proposing to Toriko and Toriko accepting; what sells it is the nonchalant way in which Toriko accepts it as if it was no big deal.
And Sunny, in a moment of awareness of what Manga he's in, asks the question that probably every reader had upon reading this: "But what about Komatsu!?"
Then there's Rin's face when Toriko just casually accepts her proposal. Apparently, she didn't think it would be that easy.
Everyone in the room, even Zebra, all make faces at his casual acceptance.
When the team learns that Ichiryuu's Main Course is the egg of a bird that reproduces exponentially, Komatsu tries to hatch the egg by warming it with his body, insisting that they'll need to work in shifts. Sunny disabuses this notion, claiming that they need to rub it for warmth. Then Zebra decides that the best thing is to just break the egg open...while the assembled chef's sweatdrop and Coco apologizes.
After drinking the egg of the Billion Bird everyone's hair and nails instantly grow out. Sunny however is the most extreme, his eyelashes simply explode from his face and are around one foot long.
Chapter 270: From the Four Kings' humiliating struggles to breach the treehouse, to the introduction of a friggin' Nitro who has the personality of a GrumpyDirty Old Man.
Chapter 299: The fact that one of the most feared and dangerous things in Area 7 is a tiny plant that looks like a Piranha Plant from Super Mario Bros..
Chapter 302: After many chapters of suspicion, from both fans and Sunny, the Four Kings finally figure out which part of Monkey King Bambina is the legendary Food King PAIR. It's his testicles. Sunny yells that he knew PAIR was going to be testicles soon after Kaka reveals the fact.
Chapter 307: Toriko, Sunny, and Coco show their mastery of Enbu by juggling many BB Pill bugs. Zebra, on the other hand, doesn't bother juggling it and eats the BB Pill Bug instead. Kaka convinces him to give it a try by telling him that the BB Pill Bugs taste better after being juggled.
Chapter 313: Proclaiming their combined total of 240 trillion united cells and striking a pose that would meet a Jojos Bizarre Adventure character's approval, the epic clash with the true form of the Monkey King starts with rock, paper, scissors. After that, they proceed to go through the same games they did the first time they met Bambina. The best one is the "Look over There", as everyone strikes a pose, pointing their fingers at the reader with the goofiest expressions on their faces. Also, just the very idea that the epic clash against Bambina is a dance off.
Chapter 314: The Four Kings repeat the same poses from the last chapter, looking even more ridiculous than before. But time around, however, they continue the the dance needed to prepare Pair, striking more and more ridiculous poses.
A blink and you'll miss it moment. The Four Kings finally beat Bambina at rock-paper-scissors.
Chapter 319: With no way off of the mountain, it looks like the Four Kings are stuck, until the various monkeys arrive with transport. The mode of transport? Bambina's poop.
Chapter 320: The effects of consuming Pair, enough said.
Chapter 321: Zongeh is the new monkey queen. Yeah. Turns out that Bambina's dead mate had the exact same face as Zongeh's.
Also from Chapter 321: Coco getting ignored when he's making the decision to add the Sandoriko Flower as his Hors D'ouvere.
Chapter 362: The Reveal that Zebra added the BB Pill Bug to his Full Course... as the Salad.
Chapter 373: Toriko taking a bite out of Neo. Even the Red demon inside can't believe what Toriko just did.
Toriko, like many of Jump's other running manga, snuck in a farewell tribute to Kochikame by inserting Kankichi's infamous unibrow in a random panel. Except in Toriko's case it wasn't so much "sneaking in" as Toriko going bald and having the damned thing grow large and free on his face.
Toriko and Rin get married, and the guy doing the service is... the same guy who runs a bar Toriko went to once. There is just something hilarious about someone so unimportant randomly turning up like this.
Neo fresh from his Heel–Face Turn attends the wedding, and even wears a tuxedo.
