For those of you who have watched Toriko, you're certainly familiar with the Gourmet Hunter named Zebra. He is one of the strongest Four Heavenly Kings' members. This is not surprising, given his immense fighting prowess.
In this article, we would like to discuss some interesting facts about Zebra. Check out the full discussion below!
1. He Has Frightening Appearance
One of the things that makes Zebra feared is his frightening appearance. His body looks very stocky and muscular and is covered in scars.
Furthermore, Zebra always has a serious and arrogant face. Another distinctive feature is the visible scar on the left side of his mouth. For these reasons, ordinary people would run away in fear when encountering him.
2. He Has Aggressive Personality
It's not just his appearance that scares people; his personality is equally frightening. Zebra is very rough, aggressive, impatient, and chaotic. He also tends to solve problems through violence.
Zebra also hates liars more than anything, especially those who talk badly about others behind their backs. Furthermore, he enjoys competing and fighting with others.
3. He Sees Toriko as His Rival
Zebra develops a very interesting rivalry with Toriko. They both enjoy competing and competing when they have the opportunity. This is clearly evident when they are both on a mission to hunt down Mellow Cola.
Unlike Coco and Sunny, who don't want anything to do with Zebra, Toriko seems to understand Zebra's nature well. When they fight together, their combined strength can defeat high-level monsters.
4. He Has a Vast Appetite
Compared to Toriko, Zebra has a much larger appetite. He is extremely greedy and won't stop eating until his stomach is satisfied. This habit often leads him to overindulge.
Zebra also shows no signs of gratitude for food. He rarely says "Itadakimasu" and simply devours the food in front of him greedily.
5. He Once Detained in Gourmet Prison
Zebra was once detained in Gourmet Prison due to his voracious eating habits. He had eaten 26 species of monsters/foodstuffs, leading to their extinction. This was a violation of the rules established by the IGO.
Zebra was held in the high-security Gourmet Prison. However, he was later released thanks to a plea from Ichiryu, the leader of the IGO, and Saiseiya Yosaku. He was given a mission to hunt for Mellow Cola with Toriko and Komatsu.
6. He is Interested in Making Komatsu His Partner
From the first time he tasted Komatsu's dish, Zebra was impressed by Komatsu's cooking skills. He gained Komatsu's respect, especially after their adventures together.
Zebra was also interested in collaborating with Komatsu and creating a Combo. However, Komatsu could not accept the request because he had already formed a Combo with Toriko.
7. He Has Sound-Based Powers
As a Bishokuya, Zebra possesses a unique power based on sound. This power comes from the Gourmet Cells within his body. These Gourmet Cells are inhabited by the Sound Demon, whose power can destroy planets.
Zebra can use his voice and screams to inflict fatal blows on enemies. He possesses several ultimate techniques, such as the Sound Bazooka and Voice Missile. However, his attacks are ineffective if his voice has weakened from overuse.
8. He Has Superhuman Hearing
Each member of the Four Heavenly Kings possesses a highly sensitive sense. For example, Toriko has an extraordinary sense of smell. In Zebra's case, his sense of hearing is the most sensitive.
According to Toriko, Zebra can hear a coin drop within a 10-kilometer radius. Zebra can also hear the moment an enemy dies because he is accustomed to hunting countless wild animals.
9. He Becomes Stronger When Angry
Zebra has a very unique power because he can convert his anger into energy that can enhance his fighting abilities. However, this ability will not activate if Zebra is not annoyed or angry.
Zebra sometimes allows enemies to attack him freely to release his anger. Zebra's ability is very similar to Toriko's Autophagy. Furthermore, this ability also has limitations and side effects.
10. He Loves Mellow Cola
Toriko and Zebra need to face ferocious monsters to obtain a high-quality ingredient called Mellow Cola. This ingredient is made from the tears of the monsters they fight.
Mellow Cola has a truly high-quality taste that leaves anyone who drinks it feeling satisfied. Zebra loved the drink so much that he decided to include it on his Full Course Menu.
