I was kind of scared with how many people I saw crapping on this next arc after season 4, but it honestly wasn't bad. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season! |

Honestly, Food Wars is at its best when it's about "ordinary" school activities like this episode. |

Very Nice! Season 5! That ED was a friggin' spoiler! because it is clear that Instructor Suzuki has some connections with the father of Souma! damn! we also have the silhouettes of the mothers of Souma & Erina! Ryouko became more hotter because of her haircut! oh god Erina's so prettier when she's laughing! then she got pissed of to Souma! 5/5. |

I bet people will lose there minds on the ntr vibes if they go true source material but since the next one is called blue preliminaries maybe they will skip some of the worst parts but I doubt it. As someone who despises ntr I immediately spoiled myself in source material. I really hope they choose a different le dessert route then the never finished just imagine the future route. Damn I know it’s going to disappoint |

It was a good episode. Didn't realize how much I missed the Anime until I watched it. xD I hope that the Blue arc goes well. |

I mean, I've heard this season is crap (the way they take this) but that 1st episode was pretty nice. 7-8/10 |

Ahh shit, I'm so not ready for what is about to come. This is going to be a shitstorm, and here i am praying that it goes original somewhere near the end (wich most likely won't happen at all). As for episode standards, yeah, this was good so far, this arc wasn't that bad tbh, but that's as far as it goes unfortunately. I'm actually curious to see how JC Staff will handle this season lol. |

But im still worried about the season since manga readers said that this season will be trash f u r curious y is it bad [(in order(events)): 1. villain out of nowhere that is too op and annoying and able to defeat jouichiro 5-0 ( jouichiro MUST be the final boss (obstacle) that souma have to face but what we got was the new OP annoying villian). 2. the villain makes soma look like a TRASH in the TRASHCAN in the first challenge. 3. the villain made proper advances towards Erina and wants to MARRY HER her and actually put his hands on her before.Soma hasn't even come close to doing the same (the villain keep flirting with erina and has more moments with erina (he carried her while she was unconscious, spending time with her in the office having some tea bring her roses bouquet). Beach arc: 4. the villain kidnapped erina and released her later and she didn't took any action like sue him or put him under arrest for what he did !?. Final arc BLUE: 5. evil dark chefs mafia and clowns and cooking with some kind of a weapon (making whipped cream with CHAINSAW and baking with Dynamite and more). 6. yuki morosaki was not involved in the blue arc (Morisaki is the brains of all the recipes used in the series.The series officially lists her as a "collaborator"). 7. the villian also defeated both 3-0 eishi and megumi without analyze or describe the dishes just straight up results. 8. the villain has one of superpower BS (the ability to gain the chef's skill when he takes their main chef tool,an example is if he takes saibas knife he gains all his years of experience as a chef and adds it to his skill). 9. what erina did something useful in the BLUE ? NOTHING. 10. removed 70% of cooking from the manga (entire cooking sequences skipped meaning showing only results). 11. the usage of the characters are not that emphasize so much compared to previous arcs.the story just revolves on the protag and the antag. 12. erina's character regressed why? just because the villain changed her mood ! what is the point of building character development ? (took takumi's dish and threw it in the TRASHCAN, didn't TRUST souma and want souma to LOSE against the villain in the blue tournament). 13. Erina's mother finally who's the judge in BLUE. She's even colder than Azami towards Erina and she doesn't accept her food . 14. dealing with nakiris issues,drama again. 15. rushed (because too many people dropped it in the BLUE and the sales of the manga wasn't going very well (sales: vol.31 (280740) - vol.35 (178355)), so they have to end it fast). moved from shonen Jump (weekly) to GIGA (monthly) the 3 last chapters of le dessert: 16. (CH 315,1) i consider it the WORST PART: erina who just woke up from her nightmare (WON) the blue tournament without any efforts. (showing only results) !!!? so who is the protagonist again of this series souma or erina ??? soma travelled when he lost to erina in the blue tournament because of his mood. 17. (CH 315.2) the author be like: i can fix that (which was unnecessary), all of sudden it turns out that the annoying villain which is out of nowhere is actually HALF BROTHER ,the one who WANTS TO MARRY ERINA HIS SISTER !!? they just discovered long lost brother and he didnt even knew that . just to undone the NTR , end of my shokugeki no souma NTR rant. let's forgive asahi's actions because his backstory was tragic and forget everything like nothing happened and move on like any other shonen we must forgive and sympathize with the villian in the end. 18. (CH 315.3) WORST PLOT TWIST that nobody likes it or cares about it: the annoying villain incest asahi half brother became a part of the family with more screen time and better ending than souma in 2 last chapters . 19. (CH 315.3) souma finally appeared in the final chapter (he didnt appeared in the previous chapters), and yet AGAIN the author keep showing us HINTS AGAIN and the author decided to make some progress souma x erina in the epilogue!? which u didn't have time to make progress when u r at the final stage epilogue instead of ending up together they skipped 8 YEARS not 3 or 4 but 8 YEARS and showing us in ambiguous way that they begin to realize their feeling using inner monologue instead of verbally speaking. 20. not even showing souma's new skills after what he learned from traveling or the dish that he's about to serve in the end instead we got disgusting food like really . 21. open ended cliffhanger without a proper closure, both in terms of cooking and romantic relationship. (The End) . (ch 315.2) we only got little backstory about souma's mother. the only interesting thing in (le dessert) was the backstory of souma's mother . (Shokugeki No souma TO Shokugeki No Nakiri) with all nakiri family members including asahi sit down together and enjoy their meal, Happily ever after. (blue arc and le dessert): was all about erinas mother,father,half brother and grandfather even the cover of the manga speak it self vol 34,35 missing objectives: 1. souma: i will make you say delicious ? we knew erina like his dishes and looking forward to it (BUT) the huge problem was she is still tsundere and (NEVER) said delicious to souma (directly) (a scene) (simple objective) 2. souma: i will run the restaurant after the graduation ? keep travelling instead of running his restaurant 3. taste of love (Manga ch 52.5) ? erina still didn't taste it because souma keep travelling for 8 years and she misses him but they will in the future ( off screen ) because after 8 years souma just realized his feeling 4. souma: i will surpass my father ? author: but through asahi of course !? about the next arc and the BLUE arc: were too many people dropped the manga when asahi appeared: when asahi defeated jouichiro 5-0 people dropped it (find it BS ) when asahi keep flirting with erina and carried her people dropped it ( I see where this is going ) when they saw mafia and clowns cooking with weapons people dropped it ( WTF IS THIS !? SOME KIND OF CIRCUS !? ) when they saw Chainsaw and baking with Dynamite people dropped it ( WTF A ChAINSAW REALLY !? WHERE DID THE AUTHOR CAME UP WITH THESE IDEAS !? ) when they saw asahi with superpower people dropped it ( A SUPER POWER REALLY !!? ) and finally when they saw souma lost to erina people dropped it ( !!?? I'M DONE WITH THIS SERIES ) in the interview: 1. he added the villain to make progress between (souma x erina)? what progress ?? more like character regression . in the previous arcs he already made some progress between them without adding third party (villain). he failed to make them progress thats y in the end ( epilogue : 315.3 ) he chose reunion 2. he said “Soma has all these cute girls around him, and all he cares about is cooking—why can’t he act more like Asahi?” is Tsukuda seriously trying to justify the criminal Asahi's existence as something that Soma should be?? the sales of the manga wasn't going very well. so they have to end it fast take a close look at the chart ((VOL 32 : season 5: final season (the new guy who appeared in the end of the episode)) tell me does it look fine ? all you said was correct bro For the ending of the blue it wasn't satisfying, asahi beat saiba was also a bad idea, i found that the weapons and these were good, smth incredible, erina character regressed then go to the top, i found it good but yes its more about erina the end. Hebmanaged to correct it in le dessert, he turned the villain into a good person like most of shonen but the half brother side was'nt good, it was funny but a bad idea, and as you said, the story of soma's mother was interesting. I think he didnt made erina say its delicious to keep the tsundere character but soma said he will make her say it but he did'nt. Its okay. Even with these its still a good arc, not at level of before but i still can't say it's trash. Btw do you think he will change smth in the anime??? He changed asahi meet with soma so maybe he will change smth everybody has their own opinion and i respect that , and about changing idk maybe they will change |

I personally loved this episode! There was a ton of great moments, and Soma and the Elite Ten kept being like themselves with a comeback-story how they usually do. The new teacher is obviously being fleshed out to be a new antagonist so I'm curious as to how that will work out, and the BLUE arc will be a ton of fun! |

Erwin_Sasageyo said: But the episode later progressed until the end with "Shokugeki style", and thanks to the amazing soundtrack (I know the soundtrack for this season won't be new, but damn, I never get tired of hearing Shokugeki OST) There's going to be new tracks. The composer confirmed that, I've heard 2 new tracks in today's episode and the soundtrack album from the previous season has to be released yet. |

Looks like we're back into the thick of things with Food Wars! This time we're starting things off with a good old beach episode, a nice welcome treat which satisfies the senses in more ways then one as I gaze at my waifu in a swimsuit lol. Jokes aside, it was a nice and fun little episode. Shady guy seems to have something on his mind and this BLUE competition seems like the next trial for Souma and crew to overcome. Don't know what that rich kid was thinking considering how he never won a fight before, but I guess you can't blame the guy for trying when the model of the school is based on unrestricted competition. Oh I missed the fun times I had with you Food Wars. I have good expectations for you based off this episode. |

Bebo10 said: Another contest to show who's the best and for the first time in 5 season we see souma talks about his mother and they showed her ... I 99% sure that his mother has something to do with the suzuki (the new character) No, I don't think so. If you look closely in the ending scene, it maybe Suzuki has something to do with Saiba when he was a kid. |

Let the descent into false NTR hell begin. Say goodbye to all the great character dynamics and overarching plot points that was spread out over this entire series. The plot is about to get cucked. At least there was whole tiddies going around and randomly censored nude silhouettes. Nice to hear this series in Japanese again, the English dub airing on Toonami is beyond awful. |
Don't believe the hype. |

I feel like I was conned by the manga readers.I was in for a shitstorm but the episode was kinda enjoyable.Since it's Shokugeki we get the slideshow presentation as usual.I felt it was kinda fast paced.7/10 for now.Can't wait for "Za Blue" which is critically acclaimed by the manga readers. |

That's definitely not the way I expected this fifth season to start! But it's a beach episode of sorts, so I can't complain after seeing Megumi and Alice in swimsuits!! I really thought at first that this Suzuki guy had the voice of Machio-san... shame this is not the case! I don't like him though.. The place the Elite 10 has to use really is run down to it's core! They are the Elite 10 for a reason and managed to pull through!! Megumi was impressive, for someone who is easily shaken by her nerves, she managed to handle so much customers on her own! Best girl doing her best!!! Now, I can't wait to see what this the Blue is going to be like! This episode packed a lot of (too much?) bouncing, holy shit! |

Good start, the shirt name and the massage chair was pretty funny. Are we getting into the romance theme? I haven't read the manga, but it's light hearted so far. From what others have said, the anime had cut out the negative scenes. I gonna watch this anime as it is til the last ep, then hit the manga to see how bad the uncut scenes are. @starchild91 = @ithyphallic60 (same person) I saw your review for the 1st ep on the anime main page, I got spoilers way beyond ep 1 from battle result # in the blue arc and learned who win/lose. I thought this was an anime forum. Please add the SPOILER tag at the beginning if you plan on discussing the manga. I can't revert what I already saw. Anime and manga are separate products. *crying inside* qwq Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

ElyessKhalifa said: did they skip something from the manga? I remember Souma and Megu going to a mission? That part was completely skipped by showing them in question of seconds at the end of the last season. This cut off Asahi's original introduction and honestly at this rate we don't even know if the Blue arc will have the og midnight chefs or just Erina Soma and Asahi in it. |

She's even colder than Azami towards Erina and she doesn't accept her food 14. dealing with (nakiri family: mother, half brother) (again) and souma going to save erina (again) in the BLUE . 15. rushed (because too many people dropped it in the (BLUE) and the sales of the manga wasn't going very well (sales: vol 31 (280740) - 35 (178355) ), so they have to end it fast) moved from shonen Jump (weekly) to GIGA (monthly) the LAST 3 chapters of (le dessert): 16. i consider it the WORST PART: erina who just woke up from her nightmare (WON) the blue tournament (showing only results) !!!? so who is the protagonist again of this series souma or erina ??? soma travelled when he lost to erina in the blue tournament because of his mood. 17. in (CH 315.2) the author be like: i can fix that, all of sudden it turns out that the annoying villain which is out of nowhere is actually HALF BROTHER (the one who WANTS TO MARRY ERINA (HIS SISTER)) !!? . just to undone the NTR , end of my shokugeki no souma NTR rant. (let's forgive asahi's actions (because his backstory was tragic) and forget everything like nothing happened and move on !?) 18. WORST PLOT TWIST that nobody likes it or cares about it: the annoying villain (asahi: half brother) became part of nakiri family with more screen time and better ending than souma in last 2 chapters . 19. in the final chapter yet AGAIN the author keep showing us (HINTS AGAIN) and the author decided to make some progress (souma x erina) in the epilogue!? which u didn't have time to make progress when ur at the final stage ( epilogue) instead of ending up together, they skipped (8 YEARS not 3 or 4 but 8 YEARS) and showing us in ambiguous way that they (begin) to realize their feeling using (inner monologue instead of speaking . 20. not even showing souma's new skills after what he learned from traveling or the dish that he's about to serve in the end instead we got disgusting food like really . 21. open ended cliffhanger without a proper closure, both in terms of cooking and romantic relationship. (The End) . (ch 315.2) we only got little backstory about souma's mother. the only interesting thing in (le dessert) was the backstory of souma's mother . (Shokugeki No souma TO Shokugeki No Nakiri) with all nakiri family members including asahi sit down together and enjoy their meal, Happily ever after. (blue arc and le dessert): was all about erinas mother,father,half brother and grandfather even the cover of the manga speak it self vol 34,35 missing objectives: 1. souma: i will make you say delicious ? we knew erina like his dishes and looking forward to it (BUT) the huge problem was she is still tsundere and (NEVER) said delicious to souma (directly) (a scene) (simple objective) 2. souma: i will run the restaurant after the graduation ? keep travelling instead of running his restaurant 3. taste of love (Manga ch 52.5) ? erina still didn't taste it because souma keep travelling for 8 years and she misses him but they will in the future ( off screen ) because after 8 years souma just realized his feeling 4. souma: i will surpass my father ? author: but through asahi of course !? about the next arc and the BLUE arc: were too many people dropped the manga when asahi appeared: when asahi defeated jouichiro 5-0 people dropped it (find it BS ) when asahi keep flirting with erina and carried her people dropped it ( I see where this is going ) when they saw mafia and clowns cooking with weapons people dropped it ( WTF IS THIS !? SOME KIND OF CIRCUS !? ) when they saw Chainsaw and baking with Dynamite people dropped it ( WTF A ChAINSAW REALLY !? WHERE DID THE AUTHOR CAME UP WITH THESE IDEAS !? ) when they saw asahi with superpower people dropped it ( A SUPER POWER REALLY !!? ) and finally when they saw souma lost to erina people dropped it ( !!?? I'M DONE WITH THIS SERIES ) in the interview: 1. he added the villain to make progress between (souma x erina)? what progress ?? more like character regression . in the previous arcs he already made some progress between them without adding third party (villain). he failed to make them progress thats y in the end ( epilogue : 315.3 ) he chose reunion 2. he said “Soma has all these cute girls around him, and all he cares about is cooking—why can’t he act more like Asahi?” is Tsukuda seriously trying to justify the criminal Asahi's existence as something that Soma should be?? the sales of the manga wasn't going very well. so they have to end it fast take a close look at the chart ((VOL 32 : season 5: final season (the new guy who appeared in the end of the episode)) tell me does it look fine ? I know what happened in the manga but I am living with 0.99% hope that the story will change.... I just want Souma to win against erina cause duh it's shokugeki no Souma not erina and also I want them to end up confessing to each other not that shitty ending which was given! If the changes don't happen..mit is going to be a huge pain to watch this |

I really don't care about that new teacher or whatever his plans are, why can't i just enjoy a cooking anime without there being some supervillain trying to take over. I really disliked Azami. If anyone has some good cooking anime to recommend, i would be grateful! Headd said: Man I can't help, but to be pissed off whenever "Suzuki" shows up on screen. What a joke of a character. Rest of the episode was actually somewhat decent. i don't know the spoilers and why everyone hates this arc but i still relate Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

I wonder how J.C. will keep making small changes to hopefully improve this arc, as I noticed there were a couple of changes when looking back at the manga. Though it was a good start, I'm not setting my expectations high for this season. |
