Getting the support of the masses by telling them that he would make everything all better, but actually just serving the culinary 1%, while also having a disturbing relationship with his blonde daughter? Pretty obvious that it's Azami.

Can't wait for the Azami/Jouichiro battle where Azami serves the judges a well done steak with ketchup. The reaction will be an eagle majestically landing in front of them and a screech that will blow away all their clothes. :patriot:

I would say that Trump would actually be Soma is this instance. A dumb rear end who knows just enough to get people to listen to him, and probably will gently caress it up once he gets into power. Azami seems to me to be more Hillary. You know some one who got in power less on their own merit and more because of backroom deals, also has most of the rest of the establishment ignoring the borderline illegal activities they did. Of course the only reason this line of thought came up is because it is bash the republican season.

Have you read the manga? Soma is Very Good at what he does and at getting the right people to help him when he needs it. He's confident, sure, but it is not unearned. Between Staggiare and the Moon Banquest Festival, I don't know how you could have gotten that impression of him this far into the manga.

I'll leave that Hillary/Azami bit alone because Yikes.

It was neat how Nene lost and I hope they introduce new and exciting ways for people to win.

I am unironic about that, I want more Iron Jan-like shenanigans.

Like addictive drug mushroom soup, or making a dish that makes your opponent's dish taste greasy and unappetizing.

TheKingofSprings

I just want more business showdowns because those are the ones that let people adapt in the middle of a match

The problem with these fights is they're essentially both combatants throwing their strongest punch and that's it. One punch can win for narrative reasons but there many fights where the cooks adapt on the fly (Souma vs. Mimasaka is the only one coming to mind right now).

Isshiki telling Nene that Souma was gonna win was actually teamwork because it gave Souma a +2 Taste Factor buff.

if your dish kills the judge they can't taste your opponents dish and you win by default

Iron Wok Jan had a dude whose occupation was literally food assassin.

Though he never actually killed anyone with his food.

He did get a bunch of gangsters to eat his food, which made them incapable of stopping themselves from eating, and then replaced the food with garbage, and they were forced to eat it.

Killing the judge is a legitimate strategy in Yakitate!! so it might just work in SnS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF-bYdb1LVI&t=610s
