Description
Barrygamon is a character from the anime and manga series Toriko, serving as a notable antagonist within the Gourmet Society. He holds the position of the 4th Branch Manager, specifically leading the Cookware Supply Team, which highlights his role in procuring cooking utensils for the organization.
In terms of appearance, Barrygamon is a large, muscular man of 28 years old, standing approximately 2.30 meters tall. He is typically seen wearing only a pair of underpants, complemented by pieces of armor on his forearms, lower legs, waist, and head. This armor is crafted from the carapace of a Crash Turtle, a creature with a capture level of 60, providing him with significant defensive capabilities. He has black hair and black eyes.
Barrygamon's personality aligns with the ruthless and brutal nature common among members of the Gourmet Society. He is described as being as ruthless as his peers, enjoying the act of brutalizing his opponents. Despite his large and seemingly cumbersome build, he is not slow or lazy in combat, though he is noted to have a lazy disposition outside of battle. His alignment is considered chaotic evil, indicating a self-serving and destructive moral compass.
Barrygamon's primary motivation within the story is to serve the Gourmet Society's goals. He is dispatched on missions to acquire rare and valuable ingredients, such as during the Century Soup arc, where he travels to the treacherous Ice Hell to steal the legendary soup for his organization. He appears to be driven by a desire to complete his mission and prove his strength, later boasting about becoming more powerful after consuming Century Soup.
His most prominent role in the story occurs during the Century Soup arc. He accompanies Tommyrod, a Sous Chef of the Gourmet Club, and Bogie Woods, a fellow branch manager, to Ice Hell. There, he engages in a fierce battle against Match, one of Toriko's companions. Their fight is intense, with Barrygamon using his body like a giant meat tenderizer, complete with spikes on his head. After being incapacitated during the fight, he later flees with Bogie Woods, ignoring the warnings of another character, only to be swallowed alive by Hell Boros, the ruler of Ice Hell. He is later rescued when another character cuts the beast open.
Regarding key relationships, Barrygamon operates directly under Tommyrod, taking orders from him during their mission. He works alongside Bogie Woods, another branch manager, and the two are often paired together. His primary adversary is Match, who serves as his direct opponent. He confronts Match again later during the Cooking Festival arc, boasting about his increased strength, but is ultimately defeated by Match, who had also grown more powerful.
Barrygamon demonstrates some development over the course of the series. After surviving his ordeal in Ice Hell, he returns during the Cooking Festival arc, claiming to have become stronger than before thanks to the effects of the Century Soup. However, this growth proves insufficient against his rival, and he is cut down by Match. This encounter marks his final appearance, suggesting he was either killed or arrested following the festival.
In terms of notable abilities, Barrygamon is a formidable physical fighter. Despite his large size, he moves with incredible speed, often described as being as fast as lightning. His fighting style incorporates wrestling-based techniques such as powerful lariats and headbutts. He possesses the unique ability to secrete an antifreeze-like substance from his body, which prevents him from freezing in the extreme cold of Ice Hell. This substance is incredibly slippery, far more so than ordinary oil or Vaseline, and can reduce the friction of enemy attacks, causing them to slide off him. He can also increase his own body temperature. His combat skills include enhanced senses, precognition, and the ability to adapt and evolve during a struggle, a common trait for those with Gourmet Cells. He can also project a powerful aura of fear. A noted weakness is that his armor does not cover his entire body, leaving some areas vulnerable.
