"With the first seat of the Elite 10 on the line"


Any single seat of the Elite 10 were considered worth more than Souma's expulsion back in the spring meeting. So the first seat is certainly more than equivalent exchange here.

Soma should refuse. Tsukasa hasn't offered anything if he loses. There is no material benefit to Soma accepting.

He offered the first seat position, and Soma already accepted.

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
Xavier Woods, WWE wrestler of the New Day (who came out at WrestleMania as Vegeta) says he wants to do a ring entrance cosplaying as Isshiki.

No, really.

quote:

IGN: So what other anime characters do you want to cosplay as? Who’s next on your bucket list?

Woods: I’m really into this anime called Food Wars. I don’t remember the name of the one that rocks the apron... Isshiki? I think it’s Isshiki. So, if I could somehow rock a PG Isshiki, then I’d be real happy!

Wasn't this already done before?

If you're talking about his match with Kuga, that was a bit different. It was more like they both lost due to them having different interpretations of the contest. Which was pretty neat I thought.

Anyway, there's no way this'll legitimately go through if only because a shokugeki needs judges and like paperwork or whatever to be official. So they'll probably get halfway through this before Erina and Arato storm in and probably get it postponed or something.

The most cliche result to this situation would be for Souma to lose, but for Tsukasa to be like "I have changed my mind and acknowledge that your food is good/interesting enough that you should be able to develop it yourself." I really doubt this would happen, though, partly because it would fundamentally go against all Central stands for.

If I had to guess, I agree with the people who mentioned that something will cause this match to be called off. Maybe Tsukasa will inadvertently use some ingredient Souma is allergic to and lose on account of eating food you're allergic to being a thoroughly unenjoyable experience.

Or a different version of that scenario where Tsukasa says, "You know what, I changed my mind. You're not good enough to be my sous-chef anymore."

Or Tsukasa wins handily but he's far too shy to actually get out and ask for him to come assist him afterwards and it only happens like twice throughout the entire manga.

I'm guessing Erina will stop the match and tell him off for challenging Tsukasa without having a clue how good he is.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Given that there isn't an expulsion on the line this time, I'd to see Souma just plain lose. He can be an assistant at Central, for at least a while, and that wouldn't totally kill the story the way him being expelled would. Actually, I figured the whole point of not betting his entire career for once was so that he could be allowed to lose with relatively little consequence.

I'm gonna be really mad if Erina join central at all after this latest chapter. Like before I thought it was inevitable but her talk with Alice was really good and basically addressed everything I wasn't liking about her reactions to this whole arc. So i'm almost convinced it's not going to happen anymore.

Please prove me right SnS, I was right to have faith in Kurokiba so I hope I am also right to have faith in your general narrative.

I'm betting that as soon as an step is made to make the shokugeki official, Azami halts it for reasons. Alternatively, because of all of the Central stuff, the Shokigeki has to be pushed back for months

As much as I like Alice (best girl? YOU BET), this manga is not without its dumb moments. I'm still salty about the whole “we have to get Erina away from her dipshit dad!”. Wasn't old man Senzaemon still her legal guardian in account of Erina's dad being both physically and emotionally abusive towards her? “Tee-hee! The majority of theElite 10 voted in favor of this guy becoming our new director, plus Erina's legal custody! ”

This is manga, everything occurs for the sake of drama.

It's kinda more silly to get upset about it because this wasn't exactly presented as a completely realistic, absolutely logical and wholly down-to-earth story from day 1. There really isn't "breaking of suspension of disbelief" going on here unless you had severe cognitive dissonance and arbitrarily decided that you didn't like something and thus it breaks.

I'm never going to expect the manga to abide by real-life rules and kind of operate on its own internal logic that would never be accepted in reality. But I honestly think its been really good with its characters and I hope it keeps that up. Especially with Erina since compared to most other characters she's not too entertaining and I would like her to become more cool. Because if Alice believes in her I want to as well.

Certainly. Also, Erina did the one thing nobody else has topped: Getting hit with the realization that, even if the kid was kind of a douche from her perspective, she's been antagonizing her idol's son for no goddamn reason and, as such, has been sticking her foot in her mouth for the better part of a year. That spread was loving golden.

There's only been a few panels / 1-or-2-page spreads that have been better, and that's because they're either so goddamn gorgeous that I wouldn't mind to have them as posters on my wall or bona-fide funnier (Akira vs Souma as gladiators, Megumi vs Ryou Stand battle, Looming Alice, crybaby Alice, delinquent Megumi, The Meat General, among a select few more)
