I'm expecting him to do that at the start of the next chapter as a gag.

Korean scans are out for the new chapter.

Holy loving poo poo this chapter.

Azami was a member of the dorm (3rd seat in his first year, and then 1st seat in his second year), and admired Souma's dad.

Also Souma tells Azami (and Erina happens to listen) to the fact that he's Jyoichiro's son.

The thing about Azami idolizing Jyoichiro is a bit weird though. When I read the spoilers earlier today I was sure it was made up.

Never mind that, the look on Azami's face is something else.

Is it the face of Oh poo poo, I've effectively picked a fight with Gohan or the look of Seriously? You're Jyoichiro's kid?

I like that he was the god-tier chef that everyone looked up to, and then he left and started what was basically a country diner, and paid for it by flying all over the world to do crazy fancy chef things every once and awhile.

Nobody's running that old restaurant right now, right? It's been awhile, but I think it's closed down. Souma's dad seems way less impressive when his kouhai is running a fairly successful hostile takeover of an entire cooking academy and his other friend is the #1 consultant for like, multiple hotel empires.

Of course, I'm fine with him staying out of the picture until he has a shokugeki with Souma to close out the series.

Yeah, it's closed until either Souma graduates or his dad finishes up with his current worldwide tour.

Wouldn't be surprised if Jouichiro occasionally dropped by to keep the place in good shape, though. Souma did it.

I'd say Jouichirou's lack of achievements has more to do with his personality than his skill.

Yeah, pretty much. Jouichiro got to meet the lady he wanted to cook for and that was it when it comes to big accomplishment as far as he's concerned.

Azami's entire scheme is probably a tsundere scheme to get Senpai to notice him because he's mad that Jouchiro dropped out of the culinary world or some poo poo so it will probably just piss him off.

Erina will probably be pissed off at Soma also (for tsundere reasons) and will ratchet up the tsun also, but Soma will just write it off that Erina's being a bitch again as usual.

More importantly I wonder if we're about to learn more about Soma's mum since Azami recognised the name yukihira and all. And maybe this dramatic revelation will inspire Azami to spill the beans about the other half of Soma's parentage.

The funniest scenario is if he turns into Hiashi Hyuuga master geneticist and tries to use his chessmaster powers to get the ultimate cooking offspring.

Also those Two Guys have balls telling the headmaster to gently caress off. Hopefully the dorm denizens give them props.

The Big Bad's motivation is literally to get senpai to notice him. Also, he seems like he's on the Hiashi Hyuuga, Master Geneticist train with Soma and his daughter.

So Jouichiro is the Sasuke Uchiha of this series. Gotcha.

Erina having her “Oh crap! I've spent the better part of my first year of High School antagonizing the son of the man I admire!” moment was loving beautiful.

Rindou continues to be the best, though.

I'm surprised they're already setting up Shokugeki's with the rest of the Elite 10. I really don't see them being too many matches with these guys because if any of the characters were to lose they'd be expelled and I really doubt any of the 10 will lose so soon after Eizan's defeat.

There's still strong contenders against the Elite 10 like Akira and Ryou though. I'm betting something should happen with the former because the new Central's impeding on his and Jun's research.

I can't tell if I want Erina to double down on despising Souma more because he's Saiba's son and should be much better at cooking because of that or to just chill out on hating him all the time since him being Saiba's son explains why and how he's managed to survive ~however many months the series has been going on at this point- in Tōtsuki.

Still bummed that Rindou went antagonist though.

They're obviously not. Jouichiro, for one, is a good dad, globe-trotting cookery tendencies aside. Also, voiced by Jack Bauer. Meanwhile, Sasuke is a really boring "Vegeta-type" rival character. I just thought that when Azami said that he'll shake the Culinary world that "ruined his dear senpai" , it kinda reminded me of the whole "I'll bring Sasuke back" promise Naruto made to Sakura.

Back to the Fanservice Cooking Manga, this chapter had some excellent faces. Also Azami continues to be a little bitch. Naked Apron-senpai took his dismissal like a goddamn champion and politely called him on his bullshit "Well, we used to have rules in place to properly dictate our position within the Elite 10, but seeing that you are, in fact, a mewling tosspot, you probably docked all those rules, have you not?". And yes, in my head, Naked Apron-senpai is unfailingly polite even when insulting someone whenever he's dressed to the nines.

Rindou is a girl. Girl just wants to have some goddamn fun. Don't hold it against her.

I think it's been at least 8 months of time and it's November-ish? With regards to Erina, and especially given her goofy meltdown and the fact that she seems to both still hold him in incredibly high regards and be incredibly respectful towards him, I think fellow forum poster Eej wrote it best:

I think it's like that but he thinks Jouichiro wasted his talents on being a family man.

Azami strikes me as the sort of loon who'd think that and think it a failing of the education system.

Possibly. But considering how free of fanservice its been recently, I want to believe they don't go that direction. But that's mostly me holding out hope that the only one who gets flustered around Souma remains Mito's thing.
