If that's the case, instead of temporarily canceling the anime, why not just make a few filler arcs? And before you guys say anything, I believe that the reason that filler arcs exist is to allow the manga author more time to create more chapters. Even animes such as Naruto and One Piece, with One Piece having also done crossover episodes, in which characters from Toriko have appeared in One Piece.
