paragon1 posted:With the direction Tootsuki is going, Souma will be both unwelcome and it won't provide any value to him. Hanging out with his friends at the dorm and learning from them is pretty much the only thing left for him there. So either he wins and the dorm stays, or he gets expelled from a place that doesn't care about anymore. Actually wouldn't flunking out now, whilst the place has a reputation, be far more beneficial? Hell a 1st year 92nd Gen certificate might actually be worth more than a full 92nd Gen diploma depending on how quickly AzSoc ravages the reputation of the school.

The only other time she was approached to do it she did it in exchange for a comically small bribe. Yeah, but she hasn't said "Oh hey this tastes really good, good job Souma." She always secretly enjoys it and then acts like it's only decent at best.

I'm guessing the "I refuse to even try it" thing (that only came up recently) is because she knows it will cause her tsundere embarrassment because she probably is aware she might actually like it. Basically she went from clueless tsundere to in-denial tsundere.

I feel like the biggest issue with the new "revolution" is that it doesn't feel particularly "revolutionary," especially for an over-the-top manga series. All Azami did was take a battle school and turn it into a bog-standard culinary academy where they find good recipes and teach them to you. This is pretty much what they do at every real life culinary school, isn't it?

It's not as if they weren't teaching recipes to teach the students in the first place (like how Megumi and Soma had to do that beef recipe w/ the strict French teacher and one of their debacles with Shinomiya at the training camp was over following his recipe). Azami's making everyone conform to his idea of the culinary arts when one of the defining features of the manga is being able to grow as a cook by not necessarily following the rules to a perfect T nor just sticking to what you know and specialize in. (something Megumi, Nikumi, Alice, and Mimisaka were able to learn during shokugekis). Oh, and friendship or something. Tootsuki before was certainly harsh, but if you earned your place there, the school gave them the freedom to explore through cultivation. As it is now, it's, "Follow our new curriculum and you'll cook like the Elite 10, but you can't have clubs anymore because you have nothing new to learn from those." It's a bog, stifling creativity of artists sort of plot.

Clearly, the writer is subtly rebelling against his editors who forced him to add a new villain to spice up the plot.

It's a fine art school except a bit harsher basically. Pre-Azami, it was basically a place to explore one's creativity so long as the fundamental requirements were met (in comparison to art school, things like perspective, shading, color theory and proportion). Once those were down, a student could pretty much do whatever and explore whatever style they wished as long as they could endure the examinations and such. The examinations themselves were relatively freeform (except for Shinomiya) and allowed a lot latitude in the students' results. What Azami's doing is turning the school into a chef mill (or I guess a standard culinary school), so to speak, where everyone has the same style from top to bottom and with no allowances in variation. Every chef produced would likely be a carbon copy of the chef next to them in terms of style and ability with that style founded in the Elite 10's. We've already seen hints of with the smoker kid not being allowed to do his assignment his way when presumably it would've been allowed beforehand. Azami isn't an over-the-top villain (and the series itself never really had all that many over-the-top villains), he's a schemer. The resolution will likely be over-the-top, but that's because of how Souma tends to resolve things.

The Shokugeki begins and Eizan continues to be the biggest cock in this series. Souma seems to be planning something maybe? This chapter seems to be more about whetting the appetite for the match and putting down the place settings for the full course spectacle. RIP Tsubasa though.

Rindou continues to be great. Nice of them to callback the Karaage. I wonder if Soma will attack Eizan's pride to make him make the judges judge fairly? That was a weird sentence. I imagine there's something more than just that, though.

Naked apron senpai hasn't shown up for a while. He's been shown to have business acumen and connections, so he'll probably show up and turn the tide somehow.

The underlings' power comes directly from the fact that they're employed by one of the Elite Ten. Who are ranked according to their power. Now, isn't there someone who technically outranks Eizan living in the Polar Star Dorm? I think this is Naked Sempai's time to shine

I hope everyone at polar star just challenges these goons to a shokugeki. Eizan's too busy to organise some sham judges for all of them, and i'm hoping Isshiki will save the day in the Eizan v Soma match. If only because that seems more important. I'm just kind of hoping we get more out of the Elite 10 soon, as I thought learning more about them was going to be one of the bigger purposes of this arc. And just the little stuff like how Kuga is protesting by refusing to work and how some other members weren't even approached to vote in Azami, is kinda interesting and I want to learn more about that.
