I like that Alice/Kurokiba/Hayama are in a bi-ploy cooking relationship.

I like that the Hisako/Erina ship is getting more fuel.

I like that Megumi is owning that ponytail over the shoulder look.

I also like the fact that they've just completely ditched the entire last year of boring cooking battles and are starting over from scratch. It's gonna be real interesting if this shift in dynamics is gonna stick or if the manga's popularity keeps dropping and never picks up. We've have to see when we get a shokugeki whether or not this is the start of a new arc or an epilogue.

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.

It isn’t dropping. It was the ninth best selling manga in 2016 and the ninth in 2017.

Megumi is Tenth Seat. If Bleach has taught me anything, that means when she actually gets her win it'll be against Erina so that she can be Zeroth Seat, where she truly belongs.

edit: I mean as the strongest, not as the trash. There'd be no room in the garbage with Azami and all his baggage taking up so much space, anyway

Thank you for making the Yammy joke. I wanted to but I could not find the way to word it satisfactorily.

So what you’re saying is that she’ll get chumped constantly, get into a massive fight that reveals her true power and then lose off screen?

Oh, ok then.

Also funny that someone brings Bleach comparisons to the front taking into account that both Sosuke Aizen and Azami Nakiri have:
  • Fairly similar designs (handsome older men, but not prettier than the series' designated prettier boys)
  • Traumatizing a gifted cute girl with big boobs to the brink of despair.
  • Have 10 main powerful underlings (at least in theory)
  • Similar choice of wardrobe/colors
  • Same delusions of grandeur "for the greater good"
  • Took a "grampa"-looking character down a peg (Barragan for Aizen, Senzaemon for Azami)
  • Same voice actor
  • Have the same name length (I mean, not in kanji, which I guess it's what matters to Japanese fans, but still: 11 letters)
Trust no one. :tinfoil:

Also Erina’s current VA is going on a year long hiatus, which is a strong implication that Risa Taneda will be returning

I never realized how much I want Headmaster Erina to turn into the archetypal police chief who yells at Souma for breaking every rule in the book. Bonus points if she starts wearing suspenders and dress shirts for no goddamn reason.

Erina being super rich and powerful but so cheap to not get separate rooms for her employees seems about right.

I think Erina is actually just oblivious to the fact that two opposite gendered teenagers sleeping in the same room would have implications.
