Coat the teeth in oil and spices, toss up lettuce and other veg and fixings into the air and then slice them with the chainsaw in one hand and catch them in a plate/bowl in another.

"I learned this from Hisako." said Soma as he withdrew a bundle of acupuncture needles coated in a concentrated secret blend of herbs and spices. Holding a needle between each of his fingers he proceeds to pierce the steak over a hundred times with superhuman speed...

Some of y'all are acting like Chainsaw Chef is a sudden departure for this series. I don't really understand that after Mimasaka and the Sushi Samurai dude.

Can't wait for the dark chef who just throws in some psilocybin into everything for a mind altering flavour

Mimasaka's gimmick was "I watch what you do and improve on it" and sword man is just carrying around a standard bluefin tuna knife.

Related to that I looked up the elite 10 so I could remember what the hell sword man's gimmick was and seeing Souma in the 1st seat spot actually makes me feel annoyed.

It just feels so out of nowhere!

you can tell this thread has lost sight of what's important because nobody has mentioned that when they went "ah, you think only the dark chefs are becoming super human??" and they immediately cut to tadokoro getting ready to DESTROY AN UPSTART

I agree with all of this, they're setting up some utterly absurd nonsense villains for the main characters to take down with proper culinary wizardry and their own personal touches, this is all perfect and I fuckin love it all. Megumi is going to CRUSH these fools with kindness and it will own so hard.

The early stuff handled some slice of life and actual cooking elements, but lost both threads a while ago.

I'm in full support of what's happening now, but only because the magic of the first couple arcs seems to have worn off

The clown has bowls that get hot that he juggles and apparently cooks with.

Apparently he juggles these hot bitches for several minutes while everyone watches and doesn't get bored.

My issue with these dark chefs is that their way of cooking is way too bizarre.
This is the kind of stuff that should be used for the judging of the cooking.

Like the reactions to the food should be the things that are way over the top and out there. That's always been part of the charm of this series. By taking that element and using it in the "real world" you lose part of what made those moments so memorable.

A dish prepared with a spice infused chainsaw, is something a judge would use to describe a dish. Not something that's actually happening.

The dark chefs are just a more extreme version of the dude Kurokiba beat during the club purge shokugekis. I expect them to lose in pretty much the same fashion and then never appear again, which is fine since it was fun to see them once, but I’m hoping after this we get some opponents with less hyper-specific skillsets.
