Previously, the Blue Nitro Pair managed to use knocking on Toriko. The Blue Nitro then explained that he "cooked" Toriko's thoughts in order to make him angry, which will make his attacks reach Neo Acacia. The upcoming chapter 390 looks as if there's going to be an all-out fight against the big baddie.

Toriko has already hinted previously that even if Acacia managed to eat Neo, the appetite demon is still biding its time inside Acacia's body. This implies that Neo is likely to take over from Acacia, and once released, It will fight anyone who gets in its way to eat God.

Last week's chapter had fans seeing the whole group assembling, from Midora to the rest of the Four Heavenly Kings, in order to fight Neo Acacia. Some of the surviving Eight Kings are also keen on getting into battle. Meanwhile, Komatsu and the other chefs have also reported that they have finished cooking God. This further teases that the climax of the Gourmet World arc is already imminent.

Meanwhile, as to why Pair has knocked Toriko and "cooked" his thoughts, the Blue Nitro explains that the way Neo eats living beings is by making them feel despair. Apparently, the appetite demon lets despair build up in its prey, thus slowly "cooking" it. The Blue Nitro then adds that the opposite of despair — anger — may hold the key to defeating Neo.

Having an angered Toriko is also within Pair's calculations, as the Blue Nitro has sensed that Toriko is holding more than one appetite demon within his body. In addition, with Toriko managing to finally control his red appetite demon, he is already on par with Neo Acacia. However, should Neo manage to control Acacia, the villain will then get a massive power-up. This is already evident in the on-going fight, as Neo managed to eat all of Midora's Food Luck skill.

"Toriko" chapter 390 is set to come out later this week.
