It makes me laugh that one of Those Two Guys From Polar Star was 8 and the other was 6. They're the same guy!

Looks like this week the chapter's mostly going to be about showing which rebels are facing which E10.

I can't imagine that many people who dislike her most out of every female character would stick with the series long enough to vote on that poll, especially since she's become more and more prominent.

That, and she might not be their least favorite anymore after starting her character arc.

Yeah, Erina's marginally improved now that hanging with the Polar Stars made her more endearing.

I will not forgive anyone who put Tadokoro that high up on the list though.

I've tried it. Cheetos on top and doritos on the bottom.



Baked it instead of frying it and missed the timer so it got a little burned.
Doritos were actually pretty good, but the cheetos didn't leave an impression at all.

I tried it. It didn't work out for me. The egg just kind of fell apart on me. I also probably cooked it too long.

I froze it, but didn't have the time (yet) to fry it. Will report back when I try.

Meanwhile, new chapter.

Pacing of the fight seems pretty good so far.

Serving first would normally mean Souma's probably hosed, I wonder if there'll be any twists like a second helping or if he'll just beat Hayama legitimately?

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Watch it be something dumb like

Souma's serving first and since he is pushing the Bear flavor to it's ultimate max the judges are going to have Bear aftertaste in their mouths that Hayama didn't account for thus his perfect seasoning and sauce don't fully take hold.

There's precedent that the "served first loses" rule doesn't always apply with this manga so we'll have to wait and see.

Nah, it happened with Eishi.

He lost to Hayama both times he served last, so maybe the order will make the difference.

E: Goddamn, does Souma ever get a chip on his shoulder when he loses, though.

Hayama is going to lose because he's being far too aggressive. I'm guessing that's why Soma was staring at him - he probably thinks what Hayama is doing is unusual for him.

Alice and Ikumi when they were up against Soma.

Soma is definitely going to wait until Hayama's given out his dish before saying "Wait, I haven't even added the sauce!" and then everyone will gasp with shock and the sauce will end up completely turning the meal around and get him the win.


Anyway, I like that it's Katsu because Soma's whole speciality in the early manga was "The food of the masses" and Katsu is pretty much that. It's cool.

There's an argument for Alice and she was absolutely the one fight in the series where Soma had the advantage going in, but Ikumi essentially presented half a dish against him.

Even for Alice though, that felt like one of the few fights where it actually made a lot of sense to me why the judges would select Soma's dish, though Alice's was definitely one of the best I remember seeing in the manga.

From what I recall the thing with Ikumi's dish was "Wow this tastes great, but you forgot to actually have the rice and meat complement each other and failed to consider the topic at all." So it was implied it tasted as good or better than Soma's but due to his superior understanding of the topic he got the win.

I don't think it's gonna happen with Hayama though. Because he's usually pretty smart about this sort of thing from the few times we've seen him cook before. It could still occur though.

hayama didn't immerse himself in bears to prepare. instead, he seems to be relying on his fearsome custom CAJUN SPICE MIX.

I think with Ikumi's it was telling that they left the rice but ate all of Soma's.

They're the same age Soma is. The only time they actually had really young kids they went out of their way to not do anything lewd (the kids cooking school).

I mean, I understand what you're saying, but they're not actually younger than all of the other people whose clothes routinely explode.

They already did that with the Fall Classic finals though.

I'm pretty certain this is going to end with Hayama losing because his cooking will be worse due to the fact he's doing it for the "wrong" reasons as opposed to when he won at the Finals, he was doing it for the right reasons. Like they'll say that he's not fighting "for" his adopted-mom, and instead he's giving up on having the strength to fight back.

Rindou is the E10 member I'd be least worried about. She'd probably throw the competition if she thought it was more interesting.

I think its funny that Rindou's the most seen E10 member (other than Erina) apparently because Tsukuda/tosh got a positive response to the character on that one page they showed of her in the pre-Festival thing.

I'm pretty sure it isn't a sword and will turn out to be some kind of obscure cooking apparatus. Kind of like the bratty half-pint member has a stuffed bear that's actually hot pads.
