Yeah, I don't get why people are so against this. It's just another way to raise the stakes, and it's not hilariously dumb just yet, mostly kinda dumb but still workable.

I mean, Soma just beat an Elite 10 member, not in an official battle, no, but it's a victory all the same, so where do you go from there? Next step is having that official battle to get him into the Elite 10, which is almost a formality at this point... and then what?

This chapter is just setting things up so the manga can continue even after Soma's gotten his E10 seat. No reason to write the whole series off just yet.

Erina's dad is probably the type of guy who makes a roast and when he gives it to someone else they're all like,

:confused: "I ordered the lasagna."

and he's all like

:argh: "You'll eat whatever I deign to give you and you'll loving like it you dirty plebe!"

Like the very idea of someone ordering him to make something is an insult.

So, where does this guy think that chefs get money from? His philosophy makes no sense, as absolutely every person on earth knows that cooking is a service.

I am excited to see Souma and his generation beat up these nerd Elite 10 students with their food, ultimately replacing them all and instilling a new golden age of Elite 10.

the plebeians of society can make do with the leftovers, but only true cooks are deserving of the real food is probably more in line with his thinking.

It should be a vote via Shokugeki. Majority has an advantage since they can put in a greater number of high quality dishes and an even table gives the advantage to the higher ranked seats, but it'd still be possible to pull off an underdog victory via various avenues.

But for real though Rindo seems more like she's a part of this because it'll make everything batshit insane and would jump ship to Soma and co. if that side becomes more fun.

:vince::vince::vince::vince::vince::vince::vince::vince::vince::vince::vince::vince:

In all honesty I'm not particularly enthusiastic about this direction, but the manga's been very good so far and it might open up to more :krad: cooking battles between the 1st years and the Elite 10 so I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic.

I am worried that this might turn hella long though. I mean, Souma and Co. probably need to jump through a ton of hurdles to be able to even challenge the Elite 10.

Rindou is right though, it is more interesting to join the guy who is spectacularly incapable of running a restaurant because that poo poo's hilarious. Like, he probably couldn't even manage to do one of those student food stalls without getting punched in the face.

Azami: "There were no worthy customers. I didn't fail. This festival failed. This country failed."

what will nakiri dad's reaction shots be like, given that the director oversees tasting in shokugekis and poo poo? does undressing through the sheer force of food run in the family? or doe he suddenly become nice or something?

Apparently, the 3rd seat of the 69th generation (Gin and Joichiro's time) was a dude called Nakamurai Azami.

The name plate with the Elite 10 of the 69th generation is shown at the end of Chapter 34, but the information about the next chapter covers it in the English release.

I checked the Korean scans, but the Korean scans are based off the English scans so that wasn't of any use.

Azami seems like the type of person who would expel any student that he feels isn't worthy, so wouldn't he just expel Souma? I know that he won't due to plot armor, but he's already demonstrated that he wants to weed out the unworthy students.

I'm just going to assume there's going to be a shokugeki for the director spot and they won't make it into a massive arc while letting the guy rule

though it would be rad if he was allowed to

It would be very funny if instead of any actual arc, Alice just appears and beats hitler food dad into hospitalization because only shes allowed to mess with Erina.

Nobody would press charges because its Alice.
