Well, a decent chapter in my opinion this week. Last week I was wondering how would it be possible for Branchi to defeat an immortal being, except for containing him in some way which would make Elg unable to do anything.
The conclusion was a bit better than I expected, but felt really a bit forced. It's great that the author decided to bring an immortal character into play, but immortality in itself is a bit hard concept in my opinion in this kind of mangas since it should be used very sparingly. I have to be honest that I really don't get it how it would be possible for something to be electrically charged in such a way that it would keep 'hitting' the target continuously, but in any case, I'll leave it up to the freedom of the series. In any case it would be pretty much useless to argue about how stuff works in a manga which is only limited by imagination.
The fight didn't leave up to expectations except that I ended up liking Tengu Branchi pretty much and I hope that we'll be seeing him more after this arc. Hopefully he will join Toriko, Komatsu and others when they head out to the gourmet world. I have always somewhat fancied electricity/lightning as power in series and I think that Tengu Branchi is very well designed, enjoyable character.
Recap of Toriko Chapter 229: VS Immortality
-Branchi vs. Immortal Elg continues.
-Branchi concludes that Elgs regenerative ability is "Nou-darake", which literally means "full of brains"
-It's a gene which is located in the head of an organism called planarian. Then we get a lot of explaining about Branchis techinque and some deductions about Elg wounding his cheek. No wonder Toriko needs some time to get translated.4
-Elg then proceeds to attack with all of his bodies, but Branchi rises up, locks on to all bodies and uses Heiretsu, "Eleki Cutter", turning electricity into sharp blades. He then continues with Fuurai Kamaitachi.
-However, Elgs immortal body is constantly adapting and it seems he's unshaken by Branchis attacks. He then starts kicking Branchi continuously until Buranchi is lying on the ground.
-Tengu Branchi does indeed have a trump card - he explains that his body is like a power plant which can convert all energy from the outside into electricity.
-He has accumulated huge amounts of electricity, which allows him to use Ougy Chokuretsu Daitai Dengeki which is essentially a huge bolt of lightning.
-Elg can regenerate as much as he wants, but that attacks electrically charged him so even if his cells rot and regenerate back he is going to keep getting hit by that attack forever.
