I dunno, I haven't particularly felt like much time has been wasted, or that there's been unnecessary padding. Some chapters are better than others of course, but it hasn't felt like a slog to me or anything.

I always want manga I enjoy to continue, but if it ends after this arc it's going out on a high note because it's all downhill from here, we've reached peak Souma cooking, the final form of the dish will just be the cherry on top.

We've been on this arc for nearly two years and most of it has been incredibly slow and plodding

It's remarkable how this, THE climactic match, has just flown by compared with what felt like forever when ramen guy was fighting or kuga (i dont even remember what he made!) or takumi were making their dishes. Rindou had her dish + reaction +explanation shoved into a few pages of a chapter that was mostly flashback for Tsukasa and it ended with Tsukasa's dish already completed. If it had been earlier in the match i feel like rindou would have gotten several chapters to herself, tsukasa would work his dish between flashing back for more chapters while soma's off in the background, etc

Granted, I think the quickened pace is very in its favor.

He's a bad chef, even if he might be really good at making food. Because of the attitude.

"Is that your final dandy?"
Azami (and by extension early Erina) has a huge hard-on for traditional French and haute cuisine, because he's a huge elitist and those are the most stereotypically elite cuisines imaginable.

A fun callback to the super early instance of Soma stepping in to save the Don club too.

I get that Erina is still a freshman, but between the God Tongue, nepotism, and her crazy cooking ability it's pretty surprising she was only #10 in the Elite 10. I'm looking forward to seeing who's filling all those spots once Azami's kicked out, and whether we get something wild like Erina at #1 and Soma #2 right off the bat.

I still want my international cooking tournament and to see Soma deal with the paperwork and responsibilities of being an Elite 10 member, so I hope this isn't quite the last arc.

Remember that aside from Kuga (Super Spicy Sichuan Shorty) and Rindou, none of the Elite Ten were really all that excited at wanting to do Shokugeki to wager their positions.

Even Kuga didn't really want to. Hence the whole "Soma cooking chinese against his chinese" arc at the festival.

True, but even then enough of them have proven to be hot-headed enough to be willing to put it on the line, and I think all of them would be willing to do it if she had really gone after it and insulted their pride. I think they'd have been more receptive to a challenge from Erina than from Soma too, Soma's just some punk kid coming up but Erina's hyped up like, country-wide so if you beat her you actually build to your reputation.

I’m guessing it just ends and we don’t find out.

I mean obviously she didn’t. She smashed the No. 4.

I’m guessing it will take two chapters for them to orgasm over the squid and then another two for them to admit Soma’s dish was actually almost as good when you put them together.
