SyntheticPolygon posted:Anyway i'm a bit disappointed Soma is going to restore Erina's faith in cooking rather than Alice even though they have more of a relationship. Although, I guess it's a good thing to have Erina accept Soma's cooking now rather than keep it as a thing for another arc or two. Since it's already been a thing for too long and Erina's become a much nicer and cooler person so it's sort of unnecessary right now. I really don't want another few chapters on a Soma dish though. Other people need some good cooking focus. This is pretty much supposed to be the big turning point in Soma and Erina's relationship, so it kinda has to be him. I'm expecting something like they work together to try and recreate the dish she ate that day, and while Soma ultimately comes up short it's the thought that counts and Erina is touched. They make it a regular thing and Soma starts to enjoy cooking for Erina in particular, and then one day he gets good enough that he matches/exceeds what his dad made that day and blah blah blah Saiba is in the background going all "JUST AS PLANNED".

I thought the joke with w is that strings of w's look like ハハハハハハ, which is literally "hahahahaha" in katakana.

Well I at least appreciate that the teachers aren't even pretending they're being "fair",

Bitter melon is a literal food from hell that does not deserve to exist.

TheKingofSprings posted:but it's not like he actually needed the full amount of time, yeah? Souma walked in there with an exact plan of what he wanted to do. Eizan walked in there with the intention of standing around  ing it up, and when forced to actually do something he came up with something on the spot.He didn't need the full amount of time to make that dish properly or anything, but there absolutely was a huge difference in prep time.

I wanted to reread the Stagaire arc, but for some reason Casanova's scans have all been replaced by lovely Mangahere ones? What the hell.

I'm just waiting for cheesesteaks to get in so everyone can joke about that thread.

ChronoReverse posted:I also think this particular arc has been weak but let's not pretend it actually swerved into Yakitate territory here (which jumped the shark with changing time itself). Nah, the finale for the big tournament in France was legitimately great. It was everything after that that sucked.

I went and reread the Monaco arc, and what really makes the time travel work is that it's a legitimate happy ending for Pierrot. We spent the whole arc getting to know him and his struggles, so even if the reaction was completely over-the-top I was okay with it. Because I wanted that guy to have a happy ending, because he deserved it. Too bad about loving Yakitate 25, though. Best just to pretend it all ended after the Monaco cup.

I'm really liking all the callbacks this arc has had. Jouichiro's frustration over other people just giving up instead of challenging him puts his surprise over Souma being willing to challenge him over and over in a new light, the scene at the end with the blank dish calls back to that "if you only cook by yourself, all you'll see is your own face in your dish" thing that Erina got hit with it, and of course you can basically see Azami's philosophy build itself up. My viewpoint on what happened is that Jouichiro's fundamental issue is just how people keep wanting to see what's next. He's totally fine with competition, he wouldn't have humored his son so many times otherwise. He just can't handle bad attitudes as well as Souma can and burned out over the constant demand for more. Remember that his final realization at the end was that he needed to find someone who he liked cooking for.

Oh, now that I think about it, way back in the very first chapter we saw the people Jouichiro felt it was worth going back to the culinary world for: people who really loved eating his food.

 It's honestly impressive just how many callbacks there are this arc.  This (and Saiba mentioning he dropped out) is about all that's left, so presumably that's what next chapter will elaborate on.
