#coco (toriko)

[grima4lurking]

Toriko is just a gay harem romance manga (that got massively rushed at the end) told through food metaphors and random actual animal and biology facts.

We've got:

Toriko the "canon" pairing who slowly falls in love, but early on couldn't care less.

Coco the shy outcast who the minute he gets care from Komatsu is ride or die for him.

Sani is the stuck up rich girl of the group and initially looks down on Komatsu but sees his unique beauty eventually.

Zebra is just the tsundere.

And Komatsu is the harem protagonist who dumped all his stats into being nice and lucky.

The plus side is that the series doesn't have all the annoying tropes like accidentally walking in on them changing, or underwear shots for no reason.

A khr x torikk crossover

Featuring still not fully healed spiritually from the mafia bullhit and toxic harmony Tsuna

Starts at around Tsuna 15th birthday after having dealt with all of the khr storyline

_____________________

It starts like any other day to Tsuna . That being shot at or hit by a gigantic hammer or even town explosives at by Reborn to wake him up . It wakes him up that for sure . And like always it leaves it's scars even if not seen by the eye .

So Tsuna comes down for breakfast to his mother and the rest of the household . Hopping to eat food , food with which he has a truly a complicated relationship with , similarly to his mother .

Then suddenly something happens . Maybe it was the 10 year bazooka malfunctioning, a new experimenting gadget or something else entirely . What it was doesn't matter .

What matters is the next thing he saw was an entirely different world . Not a different timeline or anything of that sort , no it was undeably a completely different world . One that while has flames underlaying it was not as drenched not as chained to them as his own is , instead what controls this world is good food (and maybe strength on the side)

At first Tsuna takes it as a chance to relax as much as he can , thinking it's only a matter of time before Vongola comes to drag him back to it's bloody puppet king throne . So he might as well take as much pleasure and calm he can for the possibly last time in his life for all he knows .

Except ...

They never come .

Not minutes , not hours , not days , not weeks , not even months later do they come . And then it comes to Tsuna .

He is free . Free from the useless false gold coated wings and crown Vongola insist be put on his head . Tsuna cries that night , not from sadness but from the happiness of finally being free .

A new world that doesn't know him as anything else than what he shows . No Dame-Tsuna , no Vongola Decomo , not Neo Primo , not Vongola's young lion's son and not as Reborn's student . He doesn't even need to be Sawada Tsunayoshi , he can be just Tsuna .

So he chooses a new surname for himself . That being Komatsu simbolising his new try at life . And no longer burdened by Lemitsu and Reborn's and Vongola's insistence to carry a legacy means he can finally wear the name Tsunayoshi as his own . So he does , as Komatsu Tsunayoshi .

He still mourns some small parts of his previous life . Like Lambo and Ippin that despite the massive amount of trouble they cause he still loves , like Luna that despite everything too did warm his way in his heart , even his mother a little in a somewhat twisted type of love and mourning like in life . But the ones he mourned the hardest were his Mists , his Mists who were still in that prison . But they have each other , and he trusts Mukuro to use any and all connections Tsuna had to his advantage . If there was a corpse even better , then he better show the mafia hell on earth for everything they did . For all of them .

So Tsuna moves with his life as best he can . While traveling he even heals his relationship with food . And while not proud he does use some of what Reborn had thought him to make money in a pinch and also forge himself a identify to use at the moment with the legal age for the world (that's also funnyly enough also 18 here and the drinking law at 21 just like his home country of Japan . It definitely helped that the dominate language of the new word is a slightly bastardizes version of Japanese he can freight just having an accent at when he doesn't know something)

So he travels for a while searching for a passion to follow . And he found one , one that had been quite literally been below his nose . That passion is cooking . And he turned out to be rather good at it to his surprise . Then again without having what are essentially damaged nerves on his whole body it makes sense for his coordination to be better . So now that he isn't a walking tripping hazard his (at least moderate) athletics talent is showing .

So what does Tsuna do ? Inroll himself in a culinary high school of course (afther making himself a more permanent identity and even getting citizenship in one of the GIO countries to make traveling easier) . And sure it's the middle of the school year but whatever social problems were happening were going to happen either way . So he mainly stays a loner in highschool (or so he thinks . In reallity it's closer to the situation of Handa-kun aka everyone thinks he is the coolest most amazing person around while he thinks he is disliked by the entire school again)

Anyways time flies and he continues his studies in college , he too was surprised to end up there . Younger him dreamed finishing high school to hopefully get a somewhat stable job and now he is collage in one of the most respected professions in the world . How the table can turn so much isn't lost on him , especially with the mafia fiasco from before .

The biggest change however comes in the form of 2 friends . That being Otake and Nakaume (they remind him just enough of Chrome and Mukuro to be comfortable but are different enough to be new ) , the 3 of them hit it off rather well despite the stark differences in upbringing . They were also the main people he talked to during collage , as his trust issues were at it again making his social life harder (but at least those trust issues kept him alive)

But time flies and soon they graduate , all going their own paths (troth they still keep in contact) . Otake creating his own restaurant , Naraume taking over his family business and Tsuna takes the job offer from Hotel Gourmet . And considering Tsuna's culinary skills and chaos management skills it's no surprise he rose to the position of head chef in only 2-3 years .

Yet his employers can see the frankly ridiculous amount of raw talent in that little body . So what did they do ? Start throwing him on missions with any relatively good bishokuya . Toriko just so happened to be the first on the list , the list that just so happened to contain bishokuya with GIO alligance as the first choices (directly after Toriko is Sunny) . Honestly the Hotel staff didn't tink Komatsu would catch either of them because it's a known fact that with the somewhat of an exception Coco they are all brats . And yet Tsuna did it , he practically got Toriko on his little finger .

Not that the situation with Toriko is rainbows and sunshine . The man is still an enormous brat . And that's without mentioning Tsuna's own problems . One of them being the man doesn't know how to both properly court and be properly courted in flame ways (his and Mukuro's flame courting was made fully subconscious on both of their part) . And having had his most secure guardian bond be what for literally any other Harmony a walking hazzard . So having Toriko whose way of flame courting is very very similar to a cat doesn't really help the situation (even with him having the advantage of Tsuna not having as much trauma from Mists like literally every other Element)

So that are essencaly dancing around each other , probing to see who would take the initiative and take it to the next level . The initiative ends up being given to Toriko after Tsuna had met around half the family and deciding he isn't giving him up to anyone else . Wich is wise on his part because:

Just after meetting him Coco and his Rain flames decided that Tsuna is his to protect and sooth

Less than a day after meeting him Sunny changed from torelating to actively adoring Tsuna and putting his safety above pretty much everything else

Then we have Rin who despite not wanting to form a Combo with Tsuna makes Toriko weirdly territorial and protective , which is strange considering Rin is his sister not concurrency like his brother

Of course we also have to mention Mansam who is rather chummy with Tsuna and looks to be one step away from offering to become Combo or to change jobs and become inner IGO chef

So to keep the home like chef close Toriko accept going for the ozone herb and when they succeeded he asked the question , and he got a strong yes

And it was good he asked the question at last , if he didn't Zebra might have actually succeeded in stealing Tsuna all for himself

And of course there is also everyone else who just continues to throw themselves at Tsuna , even Brunch a fellow chef is not immune to his charms

Tsuna on the other hand is very confused as to why he suddenly has so many strong elements throwing themselves at him . Because there is :

Toriko who wormed his way into the position of Main Mist Guardian on his own . And also might or might not be trying to worm his way into marriage...

Then Coco , Coco who deserves better than what he was handed . The same Coco who also wormed his way into the position of a Guardian , this time Rain . And sure Coco is a little feral but in comparison to Takeshi everyone would look calmer . He also rather likes the fact that rather than putting him in trouble Coco tries to keep him out of it

Then we have Sunny who despite his name isn't a Sun (Which is probably for everyone's peace of mind as sane Suns seem to hate Tsuna) , instead he is a Storm with a maybe could secondary . Still despite everything he does so much less collateral damage that Gokudera Tsuna can only tank the gods , and even Sunny's personality of giving backhanded compliments is preferable to Gokudera's lies of loyalty to him and not Vongola (he has always known better) . Still Sunny is a Strom and like a hurricane he took the place of Main Storm in Tsuna's flames like it was always his , and Tsuna couldn't find it in himself to regret it

Rin , Rin who might look like Chrome but is Mukuro's sharpness , cunning and ambitiousness in a different package . A part of Tsuna mellows when she is close , and like the clever woman she is Rin takes her rightfully place in his harmony for all to see

Then there is Teppei . Teppei who despite combitability and even Tsuna earlier irratetion of the mafia that and didn't dare take the place of Main Cloud . Tsuna can only guess his flames know he couldn't stay still to be a permanent part of a Harmony , still Tsuna doesn't mind housing such a polite Cloud

Then he met Zebra . Who is unaronically the second most polite and most pacifistic Cloud (The first being of course Skull DeMort himself) . Tsuna doesn't care what anyone else says Zebra is a delight to what he had to deal on the day before . And he would know what a pacifistic Cloud is like , he has been raised in the Hibari Kyoya's territory since toddler hood . So yeah he has no complaints on Zebra taking the role of Main Cloud

Later on he met Brunch and finally understood ... What having a Lightning is really like . Because Lambo ? He was an element of his sure , but a Guardian ? No , he was far too young for Tsuna to be able to trust him in such a way . With Brunch however he can finally understand what being grounded is like , and it freeing in its own way . To know the way back home . With Brunch taking the role of Main Lightning Tsuna had never felt so right in his life

And then he finally officially met Startjun(and down the line harmonized) . And he can only curse his luck with Suns , because of course he had to deal with another psychotic inverted Sun . The main difrence however is the lack of most of the phycological and physical torture he was expecting from Star after being in Reborn's "mercies" . So Starjun isn't as bad as Reborn , that's not to say he is a good human being (Tsuna doesn't have enough good luck for that to happen) . His and Otake's Combo and small harmonization (with neither being a sky) only made Star's position of Main Sun more stable with Otake's Sun&Mist mix who had long since been in Tsuna's Harmony

And then when Tsuna met Midora he found something he didn't tink was even possible . That being a home for the Could flames that have been slowly but steadily growing and strengthening ever since he escaped Vongola's cage . And the home he found were in Midora's sky flames , the small and malnourished flames that cradled his own so gently like they were priceless pieces of art . And Midora's own Cloud to tried to soth and cradle Tsuna's Sky ones . While his face and body might not say it his flames sung of his sorrow , of his loss , of his loneliness , of each and every little ting that had broken Midora from a great and warm Sky&Cloud to a broken Cloud and an even more broken Sky . So he chose to keep his new element and Sky company , at least until his Mist and Combo comes . By then however he was Midora's first and foremost . So he took care of him .

Then came Toriko to finally take him home . As both a welcome back and goodbye Tsuna cooked for a few of the insatiable gluttons who have wormed their way into his heart .

Time continue to move and more ting happen .

Until Tsuna and a group of chefs come into the Word Of Souls . Where he finally learns what Flames are called , that being "Flames Of Hunger For Life" . He learned that from King Slime and/or Ichiryu . A rarely seen Gourmet Energy phenomenon in whish said Gourmet energy takes the form of a colored flame each with their own strength . However because just causing it is rare and having someone even somewhat trained is even rarer , there are maybe 2 or 3 such masters at maximum alive at the same time . So imagine their surprise on Tsuna being one such master . Because despite or more accurately exactly because of everything the mafia did to him Tsuna has been waiting for the other shoe to drop even a decade and a half later because of all the fear and terror Reborn installed into him , like he is a dog they trained to fight . He escaped but the scars never really left , for good or bad .

So when he , Otake and Naraume finally were done he might have also thrown a punch or a hundred with pure unadulterated rage , like Neo was a pinching bag to trow his frustration on (the irony of the so called "Neo Primo Vongola" punching a creature of pure nigh unsutiated hunger like it owed him a debt it had failed to replay isn't lost on him) . In either case canon ending happens (and everyone is very very terrified if Tsuna decides he wants to spar , other than the idiots trying to score a date with him they are even deeper in love . Because a kind chef ? Who can also absolutely beat their asses ? Sing them in !

Then comes the banquet (that rather than being Toriko and Rin's wedding is instead in honor of Rin becoming the CEO of GIO after tings stoped being so chaotic and with Manson as the only one experienced enough to know what to do , and also so GIO can boast of sucsidinh in creating lab grown GOD) that is over all a happy time . Tsuna even was able to finally say his final goodbye to his Sky . He had known Midora had been dead for months , he felt the connection break . Still seeing him one final time allowed for Tsuna's Cloud to stop blaming itself for their Sky's death and allowing him to mourn properly at last . The two of them even exchanged smiles as a last bye .

And then like always his Harmony throws themselves into trouble . This time in space .

Coco/Gender Neutral Reader - Good Morning 🌶

Summary: Coco drops in to give you a less than formal wake-up call.

Tags: Implied Morning Sex, Lazy Mornings, Breakfast, Breakfast in Bed, Unexpected Visitors, Sleep, Gender-Neutral Pronouns

Warnings: Mature

Author's Notes: I'm like 15 years late but where is the Toriko fandom at??? Make some noise!!!

Read the whole fic on AO3 here!

"It's 6 am, Coco." He chuckled. "Ah, I see. Again, my apologies. May I come in?" "If it's any consolation." He reached under his cloak, revealing what looked to be a stack of bento boxes tied up in a beautifully patterned cloth. "I brought us breakfast."

You tossed and turned in bed, the unpredictably strong wind sending your curtains billowing open at your window. After a few minutes, the wind subsided and you breathed a sigh of relief. You turned onto your back, relaxing into your warm cocoon of darkness before being disturbed by the caw of a nearby bird. Maybe I should close it...? No matter. Nothing is getting me out of this bed. It'll probably fly away in a few minutes anyway. It cawed again, louder this time. Stubborn yet, you refused to budge, instead, pulling a pillow over your head. Suddenly you heard a caw clear as the day was bright, right outside your window and you huffed, kicking your blankets off. "What the fuck." You muttered as you stomped across your room.

Indignation coursing through your veins, you ripped open your curtains, only to be greeted by Kiss with Coco upon his back. "Coco?" You squinted, just barely able to make him out. "Y/N." Coco smiled. "I wanted to stop by and see if you were home. My apologies, I hope I didn't wake you." You glanced over at the alarm clock sitting longingly at your bedside table. "It's 6 am, Coco." He chuckled. "Ah, I see. Again, my apologies. May I come in?" "If it's any consolation." He reached under his cloak, revealing what looked to be a stack of bento boxes tied up in a beautifully patterned cloth. "I brought us breakfast." As much as you wanted to maintain your stern scold, your frown chiseled into a smile. "Come in."

You sat back in bed, pulling your blanket over you, tucking your legs in as Coco sat at your side. "Breakfast in bed, today?" He smiled, setting the boxes on your nightstand. "Mhm." You replied, sleep still heavy in your voice. "I came all this way to visit you because I discovered a new ingredient I thought you might enjoy." "Mhm?" You replied, wholly disinterested, nuzzling your pillow. "Yes." He chuckled. "It was difficult to get my hands on as it only grows for one week of the whole year. But--" He glanced over to see you breathing evenly, eyes shut, snoring quietly. "Maybe I should wake you up a bit more." He tugged the blanket down your shoulder to which you quietly protested, before pressing his lips against your bare skin. "Would you like that?" He kissed into your neck and you crooned. "A quickie before breakfast?" He kissed along your jaw now making you giggle softly. "Just to help wake you up?"

"How quick?" You finally relented, drawing a triumphant smile from him. "5 minutes." He replied. "Oh?" You smiled, turning onto your back, parting your legs to take him. "Are you out to beat your record?" "I am my greatest competitor, after all." He smiled, tugging your blanket free from your body, his hands smoothing up the backs your bare thighs.

You tilted your head, staring lovingly into his eyes as he kissed down your stomach and atop your mound.

"Even if I lose, you win."

"I like those odds." You chuckled.

Ngl I was gonna only do one but I for some reason decided to do all 4 of the heavenly kings from toriko. I absolutely love this anime and it was really fun making them. ( I loved making buff men into women and twinks)

Day 9: your oc cosplaying

[incorrect-toriko-quotes]

Toriko: One day, you're going to look back at this hunt and laugh.

Coco: I guarantee you, every time I look back on this hunt, I will personally fly to your house and smack you.

[toriko-manga-and-memes]

Thinking about why the kings go all out or dont because of Coco and Sunny both refusing to do so with an audience this arc

Coco: wont go all out in front of others for fear of killing them with his poison despite his impeccable control

Sunny: won’t go all out in front of others because he thinks effortless victory is beautiful and if they see him make a face like he’s concentrating too hard he would perish instantly from shame

Toriko: won’t go all out unless some grievous moral wrong has been committed, but when he does he doesn’t care who’s there

Zebra: will go all out no matter what if you can’t adapt then fuck you (except actually before he did that attack he surrounded every single person in the area with a sound barrier so no matter what happened they wouldn’t be hurt by him OR the creature but don’t you dare mention that)

[pojofi96]

tori tori toriko

[bonesdontmelt]

The four heavenly kings and their poison immunities:

Toriko: immune to some poisons so he can eat more food, a conscious decision that he made, probably chose the most common poisons and did them to cover his bases

Sunny: immune to some poisons because the foods/products that carry them are beautiful and he Will Not Be Denied Beauty even if it kills him AND because being poisoned really isn’t a good look on anyone so better become immune to avoid the embarrassment of that happening

Coco: immune to most every poison and creating more by the day because he’s got some crazy fascination with death and also he’s such a little freak about only finding things fun if his life is in danger and he took that a bit too far and now Can’t Die because his gourmet cells really took to Improvise Adapt Overcome in a way that killed his thrill seeking ways

Zebra: immune to some poisons not because he made the decision to but because he realized some foods made him sick and Zebra doesn’t adapt to things they adapt to HIM and clearly this food wasn’t adapting to his body so he ate it over and over again to teach it a lesson until it gave up on killing him. Poison: 0 Zebra: 1

[grima4lurking]

Ah the benefits of a niche fandom is people don't scalp the prices for a lot of the merch.

[rakubalka]

Here are some things I drew a few months ago when the thought of a genderbent Toriko universe took a hold of me

This whole ting started because I thought "What would fem Zebra wear in Honey Prison?"

Ironically the hardest thing about this whole thing was trying to tink of a way to make Midora and Ichiryu look like themselves despite the lack of facial hair

Anyway here

[kb11rd]

Two birds of a feather

[megawrath]

how do i even explain this. short king komatsu's good vibes and excellent cooking skills created his own harem of four bara bfs

group version and the meme template i edited and used under the cut:

[otterlyfoolish]

Toriko Roommate HCs

A bunch of Headcanons of on being roommates with the Toriko characters. Semi-shitpost purely because I'm doing this to get a laugh out of it. Pretty platonic stuff. Not edited, I hate editing!

Word count: 2.5k

(Heavenly Kings & Komatsu)

Toriko

I could see him living with someone else if he wasn't able to live in his candy house anymore. It'll probably because they refused to keep making them.

Eats the fridge out. He also eats the ice in the freezer. Nothing is left.

Gone as soon as you step away from the vicinity of the kitchen area.

Don't worry about it too much, he'll leave enough for one serving. Just one. It's for you so you have something to eat for the next meal.

Your shopping trip for one now has to turn into shopping trip for two. If you have a list of stuff to buy hung up on the fridge somewhere, he'll start writing on it. The list of items in his handwriting is more than double of whatever you buy to eat.

He makes up for it though. Causally slams down a massive stack of cash to cover for the cost of it and then walks out to go get lunch with Komatsu or something. 

Invites you out to eat sometimes. Expensive restaurants are just as likely as chance as the local noodle joint. 

You have a pet? No. You had a pet.

Your pet would naturally gravitate towards towards him

He would probably take it on a walk even if it was a pet fish or bug. 

The worse part is that he doesn't even feed it, they just like him more than you. An natural animal's person. 

You'll find them napping together. 

He's a shedder. Blue hair everywhere, he has so much hair it blocks up the vacuum cleaner. 

His clothes are also spread about the place, but when he notices them, he'll chuck them in the washing machine. 

He probably isn't home too much. But you know when he is because you can find a pair of muddy footprints leading up to your front door. 

When he is home, he might bring some people over - he's a social guy when he isn't out hunting or eating

Sometimes might bring over Komatsu. You'll find the two of them sitting on the couch watching some cooking show. These are the best days because he usually stays until dinner and makes all three of you food to eat. 

His brothers might come over. Coco is a delight to have. Sunny is snippy, but you can tell he cares somewhat. Zebra… You're afraid that he won't stop at emptying your fridge, and will start chomping down on the metal container. 

You could probably grow used to being his roommate, there's nothing too bad, just a collection of a lot of little things.

Coco

I don't even know how you convinced him to be roommates with you - I cannot imagine a scenario where he would do this. 

But it barely even matters since you won't see him. Like at all. You'll have to live with him for a couple years before he even thinks about starting to warm up to you.

Almost always in his room. He's deathly silent too - you won't hear a single thing from him ever. The absolute most you'll hear is him talking to some sort of bird outside his window(?) You still aren't really sure who he's talking to, but you occasionally hear some bird sounds.

On the rare occasion you see him outside, he's reading a thick book about something you'll need a master's degree to fully understand. He'll simply greet you and return to reading. Don't stare too long or he'll retreat back to his room. 

You have no idea how often he's at home, purely because you have no idea if he's even home or not from how much noise he makes. The only way you could really tell is seeing if his shoes are gone or not. It's unsettling, borderline frightening. 

Extremely respectful of the shared space - no dishes in sink, the place is well-maintained, there's barely any indication that you live with another person. The only thing that's his is the massive bookcase that takes up a fair chunk of the room. 

If he likes you, he'll let you read some of the books on the shelf. Just under no circumstances do you dog-ear the pages. Your privilege will be revoked instantly. The bookshelf will be replaced with one that requires a lock, or even worse, moves to his room and you will truly never see him again. 

If you're friendly enough with him, you could possibly invite him to watch something together on the television. 

If you ask him what he wants to watch, you'll end up watching a three-hour long documentary on something - pray it's a topic you like or you might not make it out awake. 

If you fall asleep during it, he'll just turn it off, and probably won't accept any other offers to watch stuff with you. It's not that he's offended, it's more so he sees it as redundant if you're not even going to be awake.

Don't worry about it too much, if you like playing puzzle games on a console, he might come out and watch you play. He won't say anything though, even if you get stuck. If you want help, you have to ask him.

Never brings guest over. Though, guests will sometimes make their way over. 

Toriko and Komatsu are the more common ones. They usually come bringing food. It's a good day when they come to visit because they will share food with you. 

Sunny is rarer, if you see him, it's usually urgent and Coco will leave alongside him immediately. You probably won't see him for a week at least.

Once, and only once you met a man covered in blood, half naked with a ripped jaw. You fainted at the sight.

Coco later told you that that man was his 'baby brother'. You still don't know if it was fragment of your imagination.

A stickler that he seems to keep doing is showering in scalding hot water. If you forget and just jump in, your skin will burn. 

Apart from that, he's a fairly good roommate? He'll leave you alone, and won't cause any fuss unless you're doing something he really, really doesn't like.

Sunny

Passive aggressive as hell

If you shed a lot of hair, and aren't diligent on vacuuming it up in time, he'll gather all of it up and place it in front of your bedroom door.

If you leave the dishes undone for too long in the sink, he'll do the same thing  - leave it at your door to trip up on. 

You'll probably have a lot of petty arguments with him. Nothing serious. 

He's a good roommate in other ways though.

He's probably not against sharing his skin care products with you if he doesn't hate you too much. He'd probably even give you tips on how to help or maintain it.

But do not ask him to borrow any or his hair products. None. 

You will never see a bug in your living quarters ever again - he will eliminate the cause effective immediately. 

The same applies to rats, or any pests of any kind. He will not tolerate having any of these things in his home, so you'll also be safe from it.

If you watch TV, he might come in uninvited and give you running commentary on the people's appearances or the show itself.

"Really? That shirt with those pants?"

…Even though he's kind of a fashion disaster himself. The only reason he can pull it off is because he has unrivalled confidence in himself.

"…Gross. He's obviously having an affair with the girl at his workplace. The story isn't even good."

He'll still watch shitty dramas as long as you keep it on the screen.

You think that he secretly enjoys it.

"…Are you seriously watching Toriko eat absurd amounts of food for entertainment?"

Insert scoff here.

He might actually just turn the TV off for this one.

Just remember to turn down the volume if you're watching late at night - he will be very upset if you interrupt his beauty sleep.

Rin has a pair of spare keys to your place. You'll see her in and about even if Sunny isn't home at the moment. The two of you sometimes trash talk him, but she mostly just waves at you and continue doing… whatever she's doing at your place.

Sometimes when she comes over, the place smells 10x better. You're not sure what magic she works, but you swear it could be drugs.

Overall, not a bad roommate, but could certainly be better. 

Zebra

…You really wanna do this? Alright.

I'd recommend buying sound-proof headphones and sound-proofing your room.

It doesn't actually help that much, but it's really just for your own peace of mind.

Also team "Empties the fridge", but doesn't stop there. 

You're concerned he might actually just eat the fridge. Whole. Unhinge his jaw like a snake and crunch it like nothing.

Jokes about eating your pet if you have one.

He makes half threats about eating you if you don't buy food everyday.

Doesn't even matter if you do buy food every day since he probably won't be there the next day

If Toriko had muddy footprints, he has bloody ones. Do Not Ask. He'll answer you, but you won't like the answer he gives you. Just save yourself the horror. 

Police will absolutely come by a couple times a month purely because of your neighbours calling them on him.

Maybe it's the bloody footprints. Maybe it's the fact he broke the 'tiny' doorway on the way in.

When they explain that they thought that he was going to kill you, you laugh but wonder if the police would even stand a chance if he was going to kill you. 

It doesn't help that he leaves for weeks at a time and comes stumbling in covered in gore he hasn't really bothered to clean off yet. 

You don't even really know what to do in this situation apart from explain that he's a roommate.

No, he's not trying to kill you.

No, he is not holding you hostage.

Yes, you would like for them to stop coming at this point. 

The few redeeming qualities are:

Your home is completely safe. You will never worry about a break in - he can hear anything happening for miles and miles. In fact, if anyone were break in, it would be him. 

Yes, he's done it before after losing his keys.

Yes you just woke up, walked out to see him covered in blood, waved at him then went back to sleep.

Yes, you are far too desensitised to blood now. 

Rats and other creatures are too afraid of living in your home - pests will actively avoid living there. Just be careful about your pet running away from home if they're able to. (They'll get used to him eventually)

He will sometimes bring back an absolutely massive chunk of meat - . You may eat it if he likes you enough.

But if you eat it, you have to help him cook it. No matter how good you are at it, he'll just shake his head.

…He's probably thinking that Komatsu could do better.

Komatsu

In my opinion, the best roommate on this list. Purely because he is the most normal on this list. 

Will cook for you. You will cry tears of joy. Weep. You will be grateful simply because of how tasty it is.

He'll be organised with the kitchen, it'll pretty much always be full.

Just… If you move anything, remember where it came from, because he'll get pretty upset if you keep doing this. He likes a system to his madness.

The fridge will be fairly stocked, but he'll keep a list of what he needs on a paper stuck to a magnet. It'd be appreciated if you could buy these items when he can't.

You don't get to spend a lot of time with him. Between being Toriko's partner and running his kitchen at Hotel Gourmet, he doesn't have a lot of free time.

When he comes home, it's late at night. The two of you should be asleep.

In fact, he tells you that you should be asleep at this time. Fucking hypocrite.

When you do get to spend time with him, he's probably in the kitchen tinkering around with something new he bought at the World Kitchen or something Toriko had swung by to give him.

If you really wanna spend time with him, you should just pull up a chair to the counter.

If you're close enough to him, he'll invite you to help make dinner.

Don't worry, he'd give you something really, really simple to do.

There is no room for disappointment.

If he isn't experimenting, he'll probably be watching some sort of cooking show. (A massive part of his personality is just flipping cooking and I love it so fucking much) You're welcome to join him watching the show.

Just be careful since he will be asking you what you think about contestants three's pie crust. He will not be satisfied with a half-assed answer.

He'll have a notepad on his lap, and he'll be taking notes whenever something interests him.

His notes are very neat, so you can read them, but you aren't sure if they make much sense.

Toriko is a common sight in your home. He'll just sit on the couch with a bag of food he took out of the fridge. He'll give you a nice big grin while waving at you with your lunch plans in his mouth.

Komatsu will probably scold him a bit, but you know that nothing will change. You'll probably see him in two weeks doing the same thing again.

Since he isn't home often, and he's a pretty likable, you'll probably start doing his portion of his chores after long enough. He insists you don't have to, but you'll probably end up doing it.

He also gets you to get rid of the spiders. Don't kill them though, after meeting Toriko, he'd avoid doing these things. Just put them outside.

Don't try to scare him even as a joke - he will scream his lungs out and your neighbours will think that a murder had happened.

Also… be careful you don't join his fucking harem.

Coco: I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier plan.

Toriko: We could attack them with hummus.

Coco: I stand corrected.
