Oh come on, like this wasn't telegraphed A MILLION MILES AWAY, with how they were going on about how the Polar Star dorm was like an independent nation and how there are a bunch of empty rooms and poo poo.

There's a couple of other things that have happened assuming the spoilers are real: Tsukasa's opponent for the third stage was Isami and I now wish that was the match we spent 8 weeks on

This is a pretty good chapter and the kind of thing I read Shokugeki for, it's actually pretty dense and visually pretty much confirmed Saito's working with tuna without saying a word about it, the cat's out of the bag and the "sword" is out of it's sheath.

So now Souma's just below Erina like he was gunning for since the start of the Autumn Elections. I think a fight's coming pretty soon, the big question to me is: how badly does he lose?

While not necessarily with Erina, I'm really hoping that Soma gets a match with a particularly disgusting ingredient coming up. Like Durian Fruit or something else. It'd be a good "guaranteed" elimination for him by Central that is mitigated by his long running battle with his dad in disgusting combinations.

If he doesn't win the final cook off with Peanut Butter Squid, or whatever he had in the first chapter, this manga will have been for nothing.

If Isami's out, that probably means a Takumi revenge match. Same for Hisako and Erina or maybe even Nao. Nikumi though, idk who's try and fight for her to get back in besides Souma.

I assume after the current Director is defeated with cooking and the Old Director is reinstated, everyone who has been kicked out by Central and all the clubs will be reinstated.

I think the expulsion virtually guarantees Azami is out sooner rather than later.

Come to think of it, two of the people expelled are extremely close to two of the people with Souma, Souma has three friends in total with him right now and there are three stages left in this advancement exam... :unsmigghh:

If nothing else, this chapter showed me a really plausible reason for Erina to have a match against Souma: she might hate her dad but an offer to reinstate Hisako if she defeats Souma might actually be enough.

E: I wonder how that fan that mailed the author a pair of custom made silver mezzaluna charms for the Aldini's birthday a few months ago feels now?

That reaction kind of justifies this whole drawn-out match.

Also the fact that they both basically made bear nuggets with dippin' sauce.

It's not even that bad a combination. Lightly breaded calamari tossed with stir-fried bell peppers and red onion, and served with peanut sauce sounds great, and I pulled that out of my rear end.

souma doesn't automatically know what ingredients go together so he throws a bunch of poo poo at the wall without prejudice about what should stick getting in the way. most of the time he fails, and even when he succeeds he usually just recreates a preexisting technique or dish. experimenting is souma's primary talent, but that doesn't mean that his failures aren't failures.

also let's be fair, the shiomi seminar was just the vehicle for her life's work, nothing prevents her from piddling around in a polar star lab she'll just have a fleet of handsome boys securing her funding instead of getting it as a matter of course

It's not a great thing either way, but it is definitely better if you remember they're supposed to have a Mother/Child relationship rather than Woman/Man. Not that the art even tries to make that clear.

It's kind of strange that the author seems to want to group Megumi and Takumi together.

I guess the two of them being third and fourth most popular has something to do with it?

Clearly this is so Takumi can lose first, and Megumi can avenge him for maximum dramatic effect.

please i'm begging, let megumi be badass again

sadly, i suspect that bringing together an anti-hitler faction was mostly so they could lose dramatically. maybe one or two of them will win their matches, but for the most part they are fodder.

megumi doesn't exactly get a lot of focus these days, so it isn't looking good for her.
