Leonora and her non-broken Japanese was awesome xD , also dem foodgasms <3
I liked Ryo's dish more than Hayama's tbh, also seeing young Alice beating Ryo was so cute :3

Souma's dish looked really awesome and that's not even all of it what o.O? Damn, the HYPE!!

Sayaka Ohara does such a great job as Leonara. It'll be exciting to see what they do with the last few episodes, since this arc is basically at an end. I think this is where it shows its not a normal shounen too.

Everyone based their dish around aroma and fragrance :O
Ryou putting fancy techniques into his fierce dishes and Hayama perfecting his aroma.
Now Souma brings his secret weapon.

I thought Kurokiba's sword was kind of a Berserk reference but I could be wrong. ^^

Damn. it was so intense. and lol, i kinda see that ending coming where soma's dish wasn't getting much "great" impression like Hayama and Ryo. it's just, well, it's great, but not as great as Hayama and Ryo. but DAT after credit scene (glad i watched it) well, i saw that coming but i seriously thought soma was going to lose but lol, like always, he saved up his "special attack" lol xD

looking foward to the next episode XD

Leonara's fluent Japanese was really funny. And all the foodgasms were great this episode. It's funny that, out of all the dishes, Souma's dish was the one I would want to eat the most. But they all looked delicious! I wonder what Souma has up his sleeve?

Oh my. Okay from the looks of the episode, Hayama has outclassed Ryo this round. I'm pretty sure the scene where Hayama points the rapier with Ryo surrendering symbolizes that Hayama is better. Now, what surprise does Souma have? Gee, I absolutely love and hate the cliffhanger

Actually Soma's trick of pour-this-here-X-over-my-mediocre-dish-and-be-surprised is getting kinda old, and none of the three dishes really impressed me, most certainly not from a creative point of view.

Let's put it this way: I'd eat it, but I wouldn't skip dinner for it. The whole season is like this for me. Season one had variety, suspense, exciting dishes, and characters development. Season two so far has,.. contests.

It's like an anime version of The Taste, but without the elements that actually make it thát much fun to watch, like knowing it's real food, Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo, and the three of them bickering over biased remarks.

Or not at all, since Hayama evidently doesn't even know how to properly grip a rapier.

That annoyed me to no end.

Leonora is so hilarious. I just love her broken Japanese. LOL started speaking properly when she tasted amazing food.

Alice & Ryou as kids are so adorable.

Both Ryou & Hayama serving excellent dishes.

Souma not giving up yet. Still got something hidden. Winner announced next week.

Another average episode, felt like chore again (which is shame because this is finals and some meals before were done better).
Even Souma's twist in the end couldn't save it as that's a thing for the next episode.

The only highlight this time was just that Berserk reference, nothing more.

I have a feeling the judges will be like "dang its so hard to choose" or they will all get the same score and tie breaker will have Hayama winning.


Im still on the theory that since Hayama has already dedicated his cooking to a special woman (Like Soma's father said "the secret to good cooking is to dedicated your cooking to a woman" in one of the first few episodes of Season 1), Hayma will win since he already is dedicated entirely to spices and Jun.

Kurokiba is strong because he is dedicated to surpassing Alice, which is simply another form of dedication towards.

Soma is only dedicated into passing his Father, and Im sure that Soma's dad lost in the GF of his autumn election to Dojima. So it would make sense for Soma to lose here, feel really upset, tell his dad he lost, and then his dad would tell him that he also lost in the finals.


Honestly, never read the manga, didn't look anything up. It just seems to make sense.

What a good chapter.

I really liked the joke for Leonora's accent either good or bad is pretty funny.

Queen Alice has conquer my heart one more time. I just would watch this series for her. All Hail Queen Alice.

In my perspective, Kurokiba's dish seems the one who got better use of the Pacific Saury but in my mind I can see the Hayama's one as more delicious. Souma still can surprise me.

What a good cliffhanger.

I haven't been this hyped for an episode of this series since last season. Part of me strongly believes that Soma will lose (or at least only get second), although the next episode is called "A New Genius", so I can't really tell.

All three of them improve themselves greatly. While Hayama and Ryo were serving, Soma's expression was like "wtf is going on here". He was clearly shocked at the level those two achieved. But Hayama was calm as ever when Ryo served which probably means that he will win over Ryo. Ryo's panic makes this even more likely. The real battle will be Soma against Hayama. Ryo tried to use a fragrance bomb to compete with Hayama's spices but he couldn't match it. And Soma is appealing to commoner within the customer with his dish. Lol Alice's mom's baring. Not what I had in mind. Even the audience was surprised lol.

Ryo and Alice fought on their first meeting and Ryo lost. After that he fought her again and again after he finally won two years later. That is when he gained respect for her. A formidable opponent who needed two years to surpass. And because of all those battles, Ryo picked up a lot of stuff from Alice, but she didn't lol. That's why she lost to Soma – she didn't pick what Ryo does and that's why Ryo's better than her.

Now Soma is giving out seconds after seemingly losing. The show's not over yet as Soma has a trick up his sleeve.

I don't know why I see this like an overrated anime.

What's up with not serving the plate how it's supposed to be, that should not be allowed, that is playing freely with the judges emotions.

Seriously, I cannot understand the hype of the people about this anime, the script does not convince me at all.

I was expecting this to be a lot more drawn out, either way it was obvious they were gonna cliffhanger the winner. Leonora is just great too.

Too fast of an adaptation. However, it still turns out to be good each week.

I'm fairly confident in saying this season will pale in comparison to S1. I continue to feel the depth of the arc is lacking as a result of the decision to go one cour. Still rated very high though at present and deserving I suppose as it's still very entertaining to watch, but nowhere near as exciting as watching S1 events imo.

In terms of exciting, the manga definitely did it better. They just rushed the hell out of this entire Autumn festival to be honest. That in itself is no small feat.

That said, it was still a pretty enjoyable experience I guess. Still needed a bag of chips to get through the first two dishes.

Hayama only used allspice? Talk about shocking. Everyone though he'd drop like 20 spices but 1 spice in the end, quite shocking.

That's quite an odd way for Ryo to present his dish but it also looked quite creative. It makes the person unwrapping it feel anxious towards the dish.
Soma's dish imo looked better than Hayama's but that's just my opinion.

YAY! SOMA'S GONNA WIN!

I mean why else would they make such a tease like that, unless the author was being a dick and allowing the fans to THINK the MC was gonna overcome the two top dogs and come out the Champ only to then say....NAH, FUCK THAT I'm gonna make that brown dude win or the other guy...whatever his name is...

I mean...Fine, if you don't want to have the MC win I get that....but why put him as the big underdog then tease the audience with some miraculous comeback, only to fail?

But surely the author won't do that...surely our hero Soma will come out on top!

Leonora's 'baring' scene made my day! XD

I'm happy that J.C Staff was able to deliver this episode really well. Both Kurokiba and Hayama's dishes look really fancy and have dis-robed Senzaemon, but I'd personally say that Hayama has the edge over Kurokiba partly due to the 'one-trick pony' insult in the semi-finals.

Soma's dish looks really inviting, simple and delicious, but it hasn't dis-robed Senzaemon. At least, not yet, since Soma has an ace up his sleeve. good thing thankfully, since I don't want to see Eizan's smug face smiling again. >_<

Agreed. By the way the finals are going, Soma's ace should give him the win, unless there is an ass-pull that prevents him from winning.

What I hated about this episode more than in other episodes is that I had to pause every second to read this long sentences... it kinda ruined my fun ;/ I was also eating my self made Chaliapin Katsudon Thyriad Style inspired by Chaliapin Steak Don from first season anime :) so I had to pause even more to eat rice with chopsticks :S

I loved Alice and Ryou story :) it was cool and cute :)))

I think that Hayama dish is the weakest.
Ryou dish thanks to this butter and packing everything together is the one I like the most, although I haven't tried all the seafood as I am not fond of them.
Souma is also something I would make, I wonder what he wants to add to his dish, but still isn't it against the rules or something? :/

I don't want to wait another week for new episode :(
