| "The moment chapter X comes out, let's create a discussion thread for chapter X+1!" ... I'll never understand the logic behind that. |
| Oh, good to know. I, for some reason, haven't been following the raws nor any other scanlations than English. Might just change that. ;) |
| Intense. Ah, Takumi :( |
 |
| That laugh almost made me laugh for a moment there. I'd love to see that last page animated someday tbh. |
 |
| So he lost. >.< |

| HE LOST!!! :O SOUMA OR THE LITTLE BRO BETTER STEP UP NOW! OR MAYBE TAKUMI WILL CHALLENGE HIM AGAIN IMMEDIATELY! |
 |
| So that piece of shit won the shokugeki afterall... |
 |
| As expected Takumi lost. I figured Mimasaka would have to win in order to have his butt handed to him by Soma in the later chapters. Although Takumi did put up a pretty good fight there at the end. You just can't beat someone who knows everything about you, and can exploit those weaknesses. So in the semi final we have Soma, Akira, Kurokiba, and Mimasaka? Sounds like a pretty good mix to me. Too bad we don't have any female characters left though... |
| This was crap. I could stand it if it was the other way around - Souma losing and Takumi beating the crap out of the guy. But not this way. Screw you. Takumi should have won, this is pathetic. |

| It's all up to Souma now. I had a feeling Takumi would lose, but that other guy was just too dick-ish. |
ClawViper7 said: Oh no, the guy I like didn't win, this manga sucks omg I know what kind of point the author is trying to come across, but it just doesn't ignite. |
| Why did Takumi have to lose? |
 |
| It would have been pretty lame if they introduced Mimasaka right before the shokugeki just to make him lose during it. I'm glad that there are more antagonist for the MC. |
| I really feel bad for Takumi.. But I hope the next match does not go straight right away Souma vs Subaru .. |
| ^_^ |
| No way. Did Takumi just lost? |
| Souma vs Mimasaka then? I hope Souma gets Takumi's Mezzaluna back. |
 |
| With the copycat's win, I'm now no longer sure who Souma will fight in the final. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. |
| There's definitely going to be a Souma/Mimasaka match-up now, sigh. (I mean, I was like, 95% positive that Aldini would lose, but I still held onto that 5% for some reason.) I guess I wouldn't have been as annoyed with this chapter if it wasn't for the fact that Mimasaka is such a perfect opposite of Souma and has the exact sort of cooking style that Souma will easily crush. Researching/guessing Souma is basically impossible, as he does so many weird things on a whim. I'm hoping this match up happens in the quarter-finals so that we won't have to sit through an Aldini 2.0. These cook-offs are no fun when the result is basically glaringly obvious. (Except when Souma cooks, because then the process is often as much/if not more fun than the result.) |
| Lemon curd as the last card !! This .. the heck laughs like a monster .. man .. he lost ... atleast he did is best until the end !! thumbs up!! |

| Mimasaka is an awesome character and a villain that we really need right now. |
| Subaru is the shittiest character I've seen in a long time. His little copying gimmick is a terrible idea. |
Smooched said: His little copying gimmick is a terrible idea. And yet it worked so your opinion is invalid. |
| I'm talking about his character concept numbnuts. |
| Oh? His character is all about paying attention to every bit of detail to his opponents cooking and have a personal knowledge about them and use it for his own advantage. The "copying gimmick" is his cooking where he mimics his opponent's dish and improve it's taste. So what character concept are you talking about? Also there is no such thing as "character concept" in literary tools and devices so nice try Champ. |

| What you outlined in your little diatribe is basically copying. Cute how you replied with some bullshit semantics. And what I'm saying is that his gimmick is stupid as shit, because he won 99 times by basically playing mind games and stalking people. In the kitchen, none of that matters. How does stalking someone's methods and copying the ingredients translate to taste? How is his gimmick not a character concept. Do you want me to list character after character that copies someone's technique and uses against them? Attacking my "lack of reading comprehension" is hilarious man. |
| By the way how many times are you going to edit your post googling left and right sweating bullets about your "use of words". Do you prefer me using the word trope? Here you go again with "omg it's not copying but it's him mimicking and improving"!!! You must be the CHAMP of semantics. A+ |
Smooched said: How does stalking someone's methods and copying the ingredients translate to taste? You forgot the fact after a thoroughly investigation, he is able to fully emulate them and cook it almost exactly as them and then take their recipes to improve their taste. The manga itself already explained this and it's an ability called Mimicry. It's some basic shonen stuff. Smooched said: How is his gimmick not a character concept. Because a "character concept" is also called a concept art. You create how the character will look like AKA his design. That has nothing to do with the copying gimmick The word that you are truly looking for is characterization, where you give the character a personality, how he speak, how he acts and stuff. Smooched said: Do you want me to list character after character that copies someone's technique and uses against them? Attacking my "lack of reading comprehension" is hilarious man. Alright, alright. It's my fault for saying your opinion is invalid and attacking you personally. Sorry about that....This shouldn't have been turned into some kind of flame war. |
| OMG lol, I'm not creating a new literary device by putting 2 words together. What does character mean? What does concept mean? I'll use character behaviour, character trope, what the hell do you want me to use lol??? Put 2 to 2 together and stop being so anal about definitions. My opinion of the character is that his "mimicry" is a terrible idea, especially for a cooking manga. This isn't a shounen about jutsus, this is a manga about cooking. My opinion of him stealing receipts and using same ingredients, mindfucking people and that being his bread and butter way to beating others is an awful concept that opens up a lot of plot holes. This manga had been good about plot holes upt till now. I'll leave it at that, I don't want to create a shit storm. |
| Damn, Mimasaka actually predicted literally everything. Impressive. Tbh even though his personality and technique is a bit villainous, I like this guy. This is definitely going to set up a revenge match between him and Souma huh. Looking forward to that. |
 |
| Awful Don't know what is worse - Takumi losing or none of the girls there making it past the 1st round Probably Takumi since he's my bae and now Souma has to step in to revenge him or something? effing lame, I would hate it if that happened since Takumi can fight his own battles, k Smooched said: Subaru is the shittiest character I've seen in a long time. His little copying gimmick is a terrible idea. +1 I hate characters who has copying as a skill (this is why I will never like Kise from KnB). Annoying af since it just shows that they have no originality |

| rekt italian kid lost |
| Damn.. I guess this is heading to that direction after all (Souma vs. Subaru).. And I really hoped that wasn't the case.. |
 |
| Ohhh damn... Takumi lost... I hope that Souma beats the crap out of the stalker. |
| Dat Yaoi XD Damn DAT ART O_O So much detail!! Sucks for Takumi though :/ |
 |
| That f*cker won... Poor Takumi. I hope Soma teaches a f*cking lesson to that copycat. 4/5 |
 |
| Obvious result. Next Soma is going to avenge him. That last page was cool. |
