  • Episode 16 - Starjun is the Father of Starjun
    Heavenly Kings Podcast Episode 16
    Hey everyone, super duper sorry about the long wait (again.) In this episode we talk about chapters 368-377 and how things somehow got more wild than before. I think this manga is really just reaching beyond the stars to be absolutely bonkers. Instead of going chapter by chapter, we talk about the highlights of these chapters as a whole. We also try to speculate who could possibly be Toriko and Starjun's parents.
    There's a ton of action that happens in this collection of chapters, but there is some exposition to be picked from it here and there so this episode is not that long.

  • Episode 15 - What is Even Happening?
    Heavenly Kings Podcast Episode 15
    Jeez, the longer I take to put out the new podcast episode, the more nonsensical the latest chapters of Toriko become. It's kind of ridiculous, but I shouldn't be surprised considering that I've told myself that I'm in this for the long haul. I love this series, although I'm not enjoying what has been going on since it came back from break for its time skip saga.
    In this episode we talk about chapters 346-367 where a lot of stuff happened. We had a flashback, we had a bunch of info about back channels and time going by slower in different places, and we learned a few things about Starjun's family tree. One of the biggest things we learned about was Neo and Acacia. Warning, we complain quite a bit!

  • Episode 14 - Ganbatte... Or Whatever
    Sorry for the long long wait!! This episode is pretty short! We go over chapters 343-345 and complain about how confusing the transition was between the current time frame to the flashback revealing what went down in Blue Grill after the Kings and their companions went to their respective areas of the Gourmet World. Colton gets a little passionate and I jokingly claim that I'll go to Japan and fight Shueisha. (Please don't take that part seriously!!) The next episode will be up a lot quicker than this one. Look forward to us talking about all the wild stuff that went down in the past 12 or 13 chapters!!

  • Episode 13 – Wonder What Tom’s Doing Right Now...
    In this episode we discuss chapters 336-342 and it’s one of those episodes where we sound like we hate this series. I promise you, that I definitely don’t. I can’t speak for the other hosts though. Anyway, this bunch of chapters made barely any sense at the time of the recording. A few things we were pondering on were proven wrong in the chapters that followed. One thing that is still weird is Toriko being able to smell information. (I wrote up a theory though, I’ll share that in the next episode.) Anyway, if you want to correct us or debate with us about what’s going on in the story as of late, feel free to send us a message on twitter, tumblr, or via email ([email protected]). If you have a subject on Toriko that you’d like for us to talk about, you can send us a message as well. We don’t always have to talk about the chapters exclusively.

  • Episode 12 - I Saw The Face of Acacia and It Was Ugly

    Heavenly Kings Podcast Episode 12

    Hello everybody! In this episode we talk about the madness going down in chapters 330-335 of the Toriko manga. We also talk a little about side characters and which ones we like. Colton isn't with us in this episode so I asked my friend @/cloudtrotter to join us. I like to think that we had a good conversation! Although the main group of characters have split up to take on Acacia's full course to save time, things were heating up in Blue Grill with this chef battle between Condor Window and Chef Yuda. But in the last chapter we cover in this episode, we got to see something really mind-blowing from the perspectives of the Four Kings' different pairings. Although things are kind of out of control, even for this series, at least it's interesting and enjoyable.

    (side note: my nephew may make a few "appearances" in this audio. I tried to edit him out at times, but it got kind of tricky so this was the best product I could come up with and not have the audio all discombobulated.)

    If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, send a message to our tumblr page, our twitter account (@/heavenlykings), or our email heavenlykingpodcast@gmail(.)com!!

  • Episode 10 - Best Laid Plans
    A lot has happened in the last few chapters of Toriko! In this podcast we talk about chapters 321-324 and discuss all the cool new plot points that Shimabukuro decided to dump on us. I ended up writing four pages of notes/theories because of this and I talk about them a lot towards the end of the podcast. There's a lot of new info mainly about the Nitro but I think that bit about That Guy is the most interesting and it really changed how I viewed him. Also, it's only Colton and myself in this episode. Foxy couldn't join us this time around. I hope you enjoy the episode! Thank you for listening!

  • Episode 9 - Shout Out to All the Pair
    In this episode we talk about chapters 317-320 and we kinda talk about our favorite villains and how villains aren't such a big thing in this series. We go on tangents a lot, we talk about pets and fish and pretty much everything under the sun but its because we're trying to make sense of things in this arc. At least it's over right? The bulk of it anyway. I know for a fact that I, myself, am problematique (TM) like 99.99% of everything in the world so even though I edited the episode, I'm still a little nervous about how we talked about the gender swapping. At the end we started talking about Steven Universe a bit, too, so we ended the episode quickly without saying goodbye properly. Foxy and I list off the contacts for the podcast, and I'll leave them here on the post for you as well.
    Twitter: twitter.com/heavenlykings
    Tumblr: heavenlykingspodcast.tumblr.com/ask
    I mentioned reddit, I vaguely remember us having a reddit thread, and if it's not there anymore I'll get Colton to make a new one. We can also try starting up a facebook page if that is necessary.

  • Episode 8 - Feeling Like a Ghost
    Hey everyone! In this episode we talk about chapters 312-316 and all the wild things that have happened in the past month in the series. We got your Kings keeping secrets, dancing, and making funny faces. We got your boy Komatsu sitting up and then Kaka losing her cool. A lot has happened!
    Foxy isn't with us on this episode so hopefully having only me and Colton being corny together is all right. We had enough material to go over and discuss so it's not so much about the length. We got some feedback since the last time we recorded so I was really glad about that, still am! And if you have anything to say about the podcast or the series please please please send it in! We will definitely read it, even if we're behind by a week or so. I say this every time, it's listed on each post and on the tumblr we have a contacts page. But here it is again: tumblr inbox is here , follow us on twitter @heavenlykings , and our email address is [email protected].

  • Episode 7 - Balls, Brains, and Kaka
    Hey everyone. It seems like episodes come out monthly rather than bi-weekly, and honestly, that's not all that bad. I do want to try and be much quicker about getting episodes out, so hopefully we'll transition into a bi-weekly thing soon. Anyway, this episode we talked about chapters 308-311 and had our usual conversations sprout from there. I'm pretty sure I sound like a jerk in this episode when I complained about Rin but it's okay I guess. As the title shows, we talked about Bambina's balls a lot (how can we ignore that?), Kaka and the possibility of her wanting to lick/eat Komatsu's brains or pretty much anyone's brains. It's kind of wild how spot on we are about how suspicious Kaka is... Especially when you consider how tired and goofy we are in this episode. (Though I'm sure we're kind of goofy all the time.) We also read off our first hate mail/comment from last month I believe. So there's that to enjoy as well, if you're interested lol.

  • Episode 6 - The Perfect Time For a Hug
    Hello everyone! It's been quite a while since we last recorded about the recent manga chapters so this episode covers chapters 300-307. A lot has happened in these chapters and I personally cannot say if I'm all that happy about it other than we're getting closer to Pair and getting the hell outta Area 7. We talk about the quick fight with the mountain monkey, Toriko's hallucinations, balls, fake science (not even sci fi at this point, it's just straight up nonsense), more balls, and Bambina playing games with people such as everyone's favorite: Dismember the Heavenly King.
