I'm almost certain the title is a mistranslation. It should at least be "The Man Who Came in from the Cold". Don't translators read books any more?

I actually like Alice and Soma's dynamic. There's no tsundere nonsense like with Erina; it's just two people who kind of like and respect each other. Cool, but relaxed and not unfriendly.Jeabus Mahogany posted:I think Alice might get disqualified on theme here. Something that requires Liquid Nitrogen to keep fresh isn't something I would think of as "easy storage", at least not for a lunchbox. Penalised, maybe, but it would be such a lame way of losing that I reckon Soma would almost have to request a rematch.

For those of you worried that this series is just going to go through the shonen motions, please don't forget that this happened. I'm prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, this discussion puts me in mind of an old Iron Chef episode where the Iron Chef went up against a French chef, in France. The two French judges awarded higher points to the French chef's dishes, and the two Japanese judges awarded higher points to the Japanese chef's dishes. I suppose you could chalk that up to national pride or whatever, but I'd be willing to accept the outcome as a matter of personal taste. It seems reasonable that you'd try and play to the judges' preferences here too. I personally think that's gaming the system a bit, but it's not like you can measure taste objectively, so why not? None of the characters seem to think it's bad, anyway.

Could someone remind me what the "Hishoko" thing is all about? If it came up before, I just don't remember anything about it.

Angry Grimace posted:This series is getting picked up in the US imprint of Weekly Shonen Jump, by the way. Yes, it is still called "Food Wars" for some loving reason. To be fair, however dumb it may be "Food Wars" still tells us a lot more about the series than "Shokugeki no Souma".

I wonder if this chapter would have felt better if the judges had said "Yup, Hayama's tastes the best. Better luck next time guys!" instead of that nonsense about signatures or whatever. It's like the author heard all the criticism about Soma winning everything and just threw his toys out of the pram.

Maybe it's an "easy to learn, difficult to master" kind of thing? I figure any idiot can beat some eggs and milk, bung them in the microwave and come out with something perfectly edible, but restaurant-quality food is going to need skill, judgement etc. Presumably eggs showcase those skills? Or maybe it's a bit like what you said, since most prospectives are going to have a slightly different background, but everyone eats eggs.

On the other hand, it would neatly sidestep any risk of yet another paint-by-numbers tsundere relationship. Hell, until Erina actually says or does something interesting, I'd rather Souma end up with Alice. At least she has a personality. Albeit weird.

Speaking of the anime... is it just me, or does Erina sound like she's voiced by Shizuka Itoh?

Could it be that having her strong suit drawn flustered her somewhat? I'm not saying she's letting him win on purpose or anything, but she was visibly bothered when she saw he'd picked soba for the theme, and I'd say it's not inconceivable that on some level she's throwing the match. I mean, she's an artisan who's incredibly proud of her skills, so there's no force on Earth that's going to stop her making the best drat soba she can manage, but maybe that's all she's going to do. It's technically perfect, but lacks creative flair, which allows Soma to eke out a win with creativity or originality.
