Lol, the snow white reference is beautiful this episode with Megumi


I thought the cooking was well done this episode. Probably the biggest challenge so far for Souma anyways in terms of food battle. Very delicious effort though and I liked the texture of the food as well as the mechanics put into making it. Foodgasm all around.

Seems like Soma's father Joichiro is leaving on another journey. The little glimpse of Erina seeing him was very noticeable imo. Like it was destiny or something.

That Megumi flashback brought some feels, but at least she got through it all.

Kaarage coming up next. Knew it, show's pace was too slow. Though now I am curious how Souma is going to


Conveyed the father's skill perfectly, as well as what Souma needs to do. Megumi really understanding that not giving up is the most important thing. Nice all around.

Really like that they are not rushing though, will be interesting to see where 24 ends. Anyone know how the BDs sales are projecting, I have heard poorly, but I seriously doubt that. They are ratcheting up the merchandising.

Another perfect example of perfecting and adaptation and then adding to it. Great episode as always.

Not really surprised that they are doing the sensual kaarage arc. Actually like how the switched the order around.

So now it seems pretty clear where they will leave off at.

What was the last scene all about? Souma gonna enter the diner the first time after he entered the school?

Joichiro's dish was great, really had impact.

Erina was shocked, wow, what a sight! :o

"Until you lose to me again, don't lose to anyone else"

Souma's dad is way too badass, having 490 wins under his belt, I think we all knew that Souma didn't have a chance, but even then, he put up a great fight with that delicious looking apple risotto

Junichirou really showed his experience with his dish though, I would have loved to taste that ramen, and I like how they did a throwback to the monk that we saw a few episodes ago too xD The bond between father and son was really sweet and I love how close and competitive they are with each other

Absolutely brilliant episode overall....Even Erina felt the hype lol, but still I wonder what was the other reason why his dad was there as well as what's happening to their store...Maybe someone is going to try and squat it

No surprise that Joichiro won. He has like 25 more years of cooking experience compared to Souma. But both of their dishes looked delicious, especially that ramen. Next episode seems to be the beginning of this Karaage arc that I've seen many people talk about

It was pretty obvious that Souma would lose, but he still put up a good match. Even Joichiro acknowledged that he has grown a bit.

Now, what errand does he have to take care of at Totsuki? O.o

Another perfect episode and i think it was a good choice to change some order of the content and happy that they aren't skipping Kaarage arc.That Erina blushing for Souma's dad was great and can't wait for her to blush like that for Souma one day may be.

Nobody is excited about Karaage arc, the arc feels like a filler for everyone but it presents one major character, and the backgroud created is needed for the autum election arc, skip it is not a good option but it would be great if they can adapt the whole arc in just one episode :)

It felt like a filler in the manga, but it is still canon, since it introduces one major character that will be shown in the election.

If I'm understanding this correctly, some of you guys are saying they're switching the order of events next week. Is that a good or bad thing?

EDIT: Also just curious, but will Erina be getting her ass kicked by Soma in a Shokugeki this season? I really want to see that since she fills me with a terrible rage every time they show her.

When Souma will most likely surpass his dad by the time he graduates! As a Megumi fan, I don't like the idea of her having a nagging mother-in-law like Erina so I will just hope it never happens. ROFL. XD

So Souma's dad had something "not important" to to at the school... by narrative it's obviously important, now I'm curious.

Dammit, thanks to a certain comment last week, I can't help but hear "Sacchan" over and over in the ED (I think it's supposed to be "sunshine", though I can't tell for sure with the pronunciation.) XD

Oh, it's good to know I'm not delusional.

I was obsessing about that other stalker from Gintama XD... (still, is it just a coincidence?)

I read the spoiler... lol, dammit.


BTW, I forgot to mention before, but Erina's mid-episode description for a dish was really nightmarish. I guess that's a great success for the Yukihira's standards. XD

lol, nobody = SoumaXErinea and SoumaXMegumi shippers.
Since the Karaage arc is blowing some big holes in their ships.
Which is the reason why so many of them like to see that arc skipped, and pretend it's just a filler in the manga.

Anways, I'm glad the Karaage arc is coming. The anime wouldn't be right without it. It's only gonna be 2 episodes long though, since it's the shortest arc in the manga.

Pretty sure, the Gintama character is Sarubtobi (Leaping Monkey which is appropriate for a former ninja - it is also the 3rd Hokkage's name in Naruto), where as our lovely Sacchan [Spoiler]Sadatsuka is a pun on Sadistic, which of course is her cooking style. [/quote].

Too bad for Souma-kun...(just kidding) but his plate was really good. Anyone has never remind to make an apple's risotto. ;)
In other way his father made a ramen without any meat or fish which is very impressive! ^.^ That was really a challenge. Now Souma-kun wants to try to enter into the Elite of Ten.
Next episode will see more plates from Souma and Ikumi-san. Let's see how amazing these team are going to be....

Quite enjoyable, tbh I didn't expect Joichiro to lose against Souma from the beginning tho I do believe in Souma's abilities but he's just so out of his league, hopefully he will evolve even more after the challenge.

So glad J.C. Staff is sticking with the evolving OP and ED. They're using a different vegetable for Megumi's solo shot for the OP and I guess they're going to keep adding characters for the ED.

The mini-flashback of Megumi's emotions during the camp = feels <3

Damn. What I would do to have some of that apple risotto and ramen. Though that one dish they showed of Jo in the Shokugeki looked /nasty/.

Karaage arc next! Honestly, I'm not a big fan of this arc but this serves as a great break between all the cook-offs.

B/c shipping is all what Shokugeki no Soma is about, of course. As for me, it's simply not the most exciting arc (______ helping Soma out was sweet though). The arc is necessary, but it leaves you wondering what the pacing will be like when the autumn election arc hits in.
