How did he even get all the 3rd years down? The ones we've been shown don't seem like they'd agree with elitist food satan.

So I'm guessing the next arc's gonna be Shokugekis between first and second years with the third years plus Eizan with their votes on the line.

Massive student protests in the 60s left the japanese student council with a lot mroe power than their western counterpart. But it's okay because now they're all part of the education machine that makes sure that the richs tays rich and the poor stay poor. Ever wonder why so many japanese anime/manga had horribly unfair schools that would never work in real life? That's because it's merely an exagerration of how class-segregated japanese school already. Now, this is all poo poo I read somewhere, so take it with a grain of salt.

I doubt it, seems too early for that. I imagine this is just going to set up a new status quo where the school is way more vicious and out to get people now. Which sounds sort of dumb, and i'd much prefer the current status quo of the main characters just competing with each other and growing as people while becoming better cooks rather than having to save the school from a supervillain. But that's what I thinks going to happen anyway. Or maybe you're right and they're doing this to force some matches between the first and third years. Since the third years will probably be graduating soon and won't be around to compete. At the very least though I am expecting a match between Isshiki and Tsukasa or another of the third years, seems like a way to further build up the current elite 10.

Of course, Hisako comes with. As a result, as time progresses, more of the Election finalists move into Polar Star declaring their support for Senzaemon.

This is a terrible decision because Erina's dad can't possibly match her grandfather's food strip.

So by spoilers for the next chapter The four who didn't sign onto this power move are Erina, Isshiki, Kuga and one of the big dudes we haven't met yet? I would like to know how Kuga fits into this, it seems like he might end up being one of the only good guys on the council funnily enough, I guess that entire rivalry with Souma was mostly a fake out. I've seen some of the leaked raw images for the next chapter and this is absolutely being set up as a battle for the fate of Totsuki with Souma and gang having to take down the six members of the elite ten who are behind Azami. Since apparently it's a majority rule situation they would need to knock off two of the six in order to form a majority with the others.

So is Azami's opinion basically that only rich/high society people should be able to decide what food is good? I'm not sure why that would appeal to the Elite 10, outside of just wanting to change things (regardless of whether the change is positive or not).

Kuga and Souma's rivalry is basically another Kindred spirits thing like with Aldini. Instead of being connected by having their family name attached to a restaurant and coming from a relatively blue collar background, Kuga share's Souma's desire to fight for the top and go all out against the biggest and best cook they can find. I'm expecting there to be a bit more to this revelation than just the Revolutionary Elite 10 members agreeing with Azami. Probably one or two do agree like Eizan, but it's likely that they have their own motives which can be better served by changing headmasters or otherwise pressured by one or more of the others.

Xelkelvos posted:"Only the elite can decide what is cuisine and only the elite should produce and consume such cuisine" is what his thing is, I think. Elite, n this case probably refers to the powerful and talented. Not just the latter and just the former when it comes to consumption and decision making. I might restate that as "Only the elite can create haute cuisine, and haute cuisine is wasted on anyone lesser".

While I'm not a big fan of this turn of events, it could be seen as a way to advance the plotline and get some of the main characters some Seats. This whole saga could revolve around Souma and others trying to get get Seats to have a majority vote and get Nariki's grandfather back in charge.

Like the evil business Elite 10 dude should be 100% against that philosophy since he wouldn't make any money. Still I thought that was a pretty good twist and can't wait to see what the new regime is like.

Guessing that Erina's dad's background will be something like "considered Souma's dad his rival long ago, viewed him marrying down to run that special of the day restaurant as a betrayal, developed his elitist thing as a reaction to that"

I am not fond of the direction of this story arc. The series has always been at its best when just focusing on the development of the chefs, and although there was usually the threat of being expelled involved as well, it was honestly not too important. Introducing a supervillain and making half the Elite 10 into an evil team that must be defeated kinda looks like it'll go against the strength of the manga. I doubt this is going to immediately head to the first years battling the third years though. I'm guessing it'll just set up a new status quo of an actively malevolent dude being in charge of the school and trying to get everyone expelled, which will probably be dumb. Maybe Isshiki or the 3rd seat dude will challenge another member to change their vote but other than that, I doubt this is going to go straight to defeating the Elite 10.

Prediction: there's no way it goes through that easily - there's no reason for Azami to have even mentioned what would happen the next day if it was already settled in stone. Sounds like an actual vote will occur and I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the votes knocked off so that there's a virtual tie and a power struggle. I'm not a fan of this development at all, but I also think the quality of the series so far has been excellent, so who am I to doubt this will also be good?

I hope these cooking battles will just mainly be for introducing the Elite 10 because I think most of their designs are cool. Mostly I want to see what Sword Guy does because he's the most inherently ridiculous and it'd be cool to finally see what Isshiki can really do when he's cooking for real.
