Most of the artists with really good art in the manga business did porn. Hellsing was by a guy who did porn, Akamatsu (Mahou Sensei Negima, UQ Holder) did porn. Ghost in the Shell? Porn. Hell, every single character from Hellsing is flat out ported from his porn.

This was my biggest problem with the chapter. It made Takumi's loss seem really cheap. I mean, yeah, he had to lose for story reasons. But the judges are supposed to be professional food critics, and yet Subaru's usage of candied lemons was so subtle that it didn't get brought up until after they tasted the second dish, then went back and tried the first?

Furious Lobster posted:Apparently this is a mis-translation then but I believe they called it as such because it was made with olive oil whereas traditional English lemon curd appears to be made with butter. The point is more that this manga makes mountains out of molehills with the over-the-top language and descriptions. It's a comic for Japanese children. Come on.

And I admit that manga needs those descriptions as shown above but at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they included a panel of people going nuts over being able to boil water since apparently separating the yolks from the whites is a separate technique with its own name.

This definitely seems the most likely scenario. That, or Soma just deliberately misleads him and then makes something else entirely using similar ingredients but in different amounts or something. Or he'll ask for ingredients he doesn't need as a decoy or whatever.

Yeah, if I had to guess, Subaru will stalk him and find that he's just sitting around getting drunk with his friends and planning to wing it. The shokugeki will involve giving all the poo poo back and developing his own style.

There's no way Souma will actually try to actively trick Subaru, this is the most likely event and I'm betting this is finally the point where the peanut butter squid becomes important.

They mentioned earlier that between each round, the contestants were shuffled so they couldn't predict who would go against each other, right? Watch as Subaru goes against Ryou or the spice guy and loses horribly, leaving no closure for the Aldinis.

The smug levels are off the charts in this chapter.  I like how Soma doesn't even react to Mimisaka demanding his kitchen knife if he loses. After all, it's just a tool and in the long run he'd still be able to cook without it so putting his culinary career on the line is a way higher and appropriate stake for him.

You know, I've missed main characters like this. No gloating, no smugness, not even the self-righteous fury after a friend gets defeated. Just utter certainty.

Honestly he pretty much had his whole strategy pulled right out from under him soma literally gave him the dish he was cooking i guess he can try and plan for surprises but his style works way better when the opponent doesn't know what's happening

On one hand I enjoy this because it's a slap in the face of this rear end in a top hat. On the other, I don't, because if it was just his knife on the line you could have some tension that he might lose. A lot of Shounen stuff lets the protagonist lose in their first year and then come back better and more prepared the next one and blow everyone away. That can't happen if him losing would literally end the manga.

Mimasaka's strategy seems to be 1) stalking his opponent to get as much information as possible, then 2) get under their skin to make them make mistakes. It's not going to work on Soma because he turned the tables on the second part. Also, anyone else notice the halo around Soma these past few chapters? Cooking Buddha to his dad's Cooking Asura I guess.

Seems to me that if Soma stays away from windows while he's cooking and doesn't leave the dorms for the next week, he can't lose.

Question: These guys Do they have names? Because they keep showing up and possibly live in Polar Star, but as far as I remember Glasses and Moppy Hair are the only boys in the dorm with names.

Mimasaka has really been slacking when it comes to preparing to beat Souma. He said that he was surprised that such a good knife could be found in a mere special of the day shop, which means Mimasaka has no idea who Souma's father is. Sure, cooking talent isn't hereditary, but it means he was trained by one of the best professional chefs in the world. If Mimasaka didn't properly investigate Souma's background, what else is he missing?

Well the thing is his father took the surname of his mother, who is a nobody as far as the cooking world goes. The only people who knows who his father is are the Polar Dorm folks, and I doubt they'll be feeling charitable towards Mimasaka. It's part of the reason why so many people are surprised at how good Souma is.

His dad is currently an active chef under that name, so he obviously isn't a complete hermit.
