So are we getting a really awful Naruto-tier "everyone paired off and married" epilogue?

That's pretty much what I want, minus the Boruto-style "lets keep this poo poo running" aspect. That's been better than I expected over there, but I don't really need it for this manga.

And I didn't mind the Inuyasha ending one bit either, by the by.

Kinda sad that LRisa Taneda never returned as Erina. Hisako Kanemoto was fine, but Taneda made me enjoy Erina before she had her whole arc. :(

I do rather hate that so much is left unfinished (Erina's mom hasn't tasted the mega benedict-don, we don't know what the deal is with Souma's mom, cooking superpowers introduced as a proper thing this late in the game and then not really escalated to true Prince of Tennis levels of ridiculousness) but it was a fun ride overall, and hopefully the epilogue will give me some of the things I want to see. Given that I don't recognize most of the characters from it I'm worried it'll just be a time jump and barely feature the characters of the manga, or otherwise downplay giving resolution to their various arcs, though really a simple "10 years later and here's where they are" style thing would suit me just fine, so not holding a time jump against it at all as long as it fills in all that stuff.
The rest is all legitimate but I don't think the benedict-don was ever meant for Erina-mom. It was just to bring Erina back to her senses, then they had a real match with different dishes. That's how I read it, anyway.

He said he made enough for both of them. It was absolutely his dish for the contest.

In other news, I saw an article saying that the spinoff ended, which was surprising because I was not aware it was still going on.

a major running theme of the comic was that it is important for a chef to find someone to cook for with all of his heart

just because soma made it as his entry for the last round doesn't mean it was made for the purpose of being his entry in the last round

he clearly didn't care about winning at that point, he made that dish so that erina could shake off her Big Sad and make the actual ultimate winning dish

this is like the one thing SnS successfully built up and executed upon when all was said and done

oh jay
Oct 15, 2012

That's fine and all, but the idea that he would then cook another dish for this same battle, instead of an "I'll get you the next one" is patently absurd.

yeah he definitely did not do that, i agree. his victory condition was always getting erina back to herself

Is there any anime on TV outside of Toonami that isn't heavily commercialized kids shows? Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade, that sort of thing I see on in the morning/afternoon but I don't remember the last time I saw anything more substantial than that. I think Dragonball Kai might've been on in the afternoon? But that's all I can think of. I'm legitimately curious but not enough to actually want to do the research.

It's so insanely bad. Clearly Tsukuda saw fans being okay with Asahi (I just think "Saiba" since it was the name he went by as a bad guy) getting Erina and he really, really, really wanted to preclude any possibility contrary to what he wanted himself.
