Holy balls was this one hell of an episode or not. Loved the absolute shit out of it!

Now I have good reasoning for Shinomiya to be my second fav character in this series aside from being habitually attracted to Heel personas.

And Goddamn that ending was sublime! The interaction of that group is Must See TV.


One of the, if not the, best ep of this series.

So Shinomiya was still struggling even though he reached the pinnacle. A good reminder by Megumi's dish knocked some sense into him. Also, nice flashbacks. Good info about him was well appreciated.
Soma's furious that he lost. I totally get him. I hope Dojima-san gets to bond with Soma more often. I think it would be cool.
I sure would love to get those miniature Megumi dolls. I'll complete the collection. LOL!

Because most of the sou chefs in prestigious French restaurants are Japanese.

I thought it was a good episode, to be honest I was surprised it didn't just go like, Megumi won she got the votes. The whole memory thing with Shinomiya's mother and his past in France was definitely the better way to go about it. For some reason I was happy to see that Soma got pissed after losing.

So we got a little flashback of Shinomiya and I knew I was gonna like him, but I think he's one of my favorites now :3
Also I'm liking Souma as a character more with every passing week.
Didn't think they were gonna be expelled, but I was wondering how their "not-expelling" was gonna happen. This one didn't cross my mind.
Good episode! :D

Definitely knew they'd make it through though I expected them to at least get 1 vote from the judges.

Shinomiya is former First Seat of Elite Ten and he graduated from Totsuki. If Megumi actualy beat him, what message does it send? Megumi is better than Erina and at Alumni level already? She can just graduated already. Megumi never stood a chance in the first place if its a real shokugeki.

The episode has remained down-to-earth, nothing unexpected and imaginative, who had to win won, and the losers military honors. However I do not mind this, because in the end the focus on this particular event, has a meaning and an outlet for any future developments. Narration good as far as introspection culinary and character growth of Megumi. Even Soma and Shinomiya, while not seeming, they earn something from this challenge. Good quality of the drawings and animations; a love chibi versions of Tadokoro.

Wow very good, solid episode!!, my highlights:)

-soma cheering and helping megumi's confidence in cooking, shows he's a good motivator and friend aside from being a good chef

-lol @ judges reactions from the foods of shinomiya, gotta love that French touch from his dishes:)

-megumi's home inspired cuisine really touched the judges and esp shinomiya after eating megumi's dish remembered him of his childhood days, really touching scene there..

-souma really upset about his defeat, well that's how the world goes..sometimes ur up sometimes ur down

P.S: the youkai Megumi' dolls are like KAWAII!!haha easy 9/10..

Amazing episode as usual, the ost was on point and megumi was so cute in all versions. Based on their reaction eating her food it was clear who the winner is but she gained a little more confidence after this and I can't wait to see the next part of this arc animated, it was awesome in the manga and judging from the previous episode of this anime adaption it's most likely going to be well adapted XD

Exactly! Not just that, Shinomiya's a top professional chef who has won international awards. He's head and shoulders above the current Elite 10. Making Tadakoro win against him would be a hyperbole and the most stupid thing this manga would've done (it's stupid to even expect that tbh).

I hope they sell those chibi Megumi dolls for real. I would buy them in a heartbeat! =3

Anyway, this episode was truly great. Shame that Megumi's dish wasn't enough to give her the win, but thanks to Dojima's clever planning and persuasion, Shinomiya at least acknowledged her cooking skills, which reminded him of his past. As someone said earlier, he won the battle, but lost the war.

Hopefully this should inspire Shinomiya to become a better and maybe more likeable chef too. ^^

For Souma, on the other hand, he was in this to win outright, so it's good for someone like him to taste defeat every now and then. This way, it should help him to come back even stronger than before to improve not only his own dishes, but to assist in helping other chef's dishes the best he can as well.

The timing of the OST throughout the episode was excellent, capturing the tension of the vote of Megumi and Shinomiya's dishes, as well as the emotional moments with Megumi too. It brought a tear to my eye seeing her reaction when she learned that she and Souma weren't going to be expelled.

I'm hoping now that the second half of this series as good, if not, better than the first half. ^_^

If I'm going to nitpick, I'll say that the animation needs some improvement, but overall this is a perfect adaptation. Sasuga JC! Sorry for doubting you all this time.

No matter how gross a mother's cooking is, it will always win the heart of her children. Nothing can truly beat that.


I could still remember the salt when JC Staff was announced as the studio. Agree with the animation part being average but still I'm really enjoying this adaptation.

Dojima is a really good teacher. Truly the best character behind Megumi, Soma, and Erina.

I wonder if the loss is going to affect Soma in any way. It's hard to accept defeat, and harder to move forward from a loss. It takes a truly talented individual to improve from loss.

Got teary eyed during this episode.

Megumi finally found her confidence and her own identity of cooking.

Finding out Shinomiya's reason as to why he's so uptight was well done. It just makes so much sense after being betrayed and only trusting in himself.

Didn't expect all three chefs in this battle to learn so much from the battle.

Officially in the underground Shokugeki battle, Shinomiya wins the vote of the judge (because being calculative) BUT!...it turns-out as a draw because of the help of Doujima...because he made Shinomiya realize that being a chef isn't about being at the top and isn't about being calculative...you also need the passion/heart and the consideration of other people...and then it was meant as a good lesson for Shinomiya which he is lacking thereof.
5/5.

And one more thing, one of the highlight of this episode is this is the first time that souma taste "defeat" and I like his reaction. That said, i still want to see if souma can be defeated by the fellow student since like someone mention above, in this shokugeki souma is only a sous chef and he can't even choose the ingredients..
5/5

I disagree....Souma did NOT lose.

He was NOT the Head Chef nor was the item prepared his own....


Wouldn't have made a difference, he still would have lost. Besides, he probably realised that any dish he came up with would only be slightly better than Megumi's and thus he would still get rekt

anyways maybe I'm missing something (I let it go during the manga & figured it would just get removed during anime)

Didn't Megumi put some meat in the oven (WTF was that for) I still can't find the meat in the dish and they had the nerve to keep that *scene in the anime*
Guess I'll just chalk it up to both of them being in panic mode/
to be more specific, even if one of those areas was some meat (they put a LOTTT of damn meat in the over for that tiny amount *I think 1 shoulder cut easily should've/could've sufficed*

I'm pretty sure their collaborator (a professional chef) wouldn't just put random meat in the dish unless it's actually in the dish and remember, it's for each proportion for the chefs to taste, not just one.

Megumi's motherly cooking saves the day, Soma is lucky she was the head chef otherwise they would've been both expelled.
The difference between them is just too high, if they were to defeat Shinomiya, might as well graduate from Totsuki right then and there.
Perfectly adapted, bravo JC

Ah man, that was another really good episode. Interesting how everybody described Megumi's dish ... and after all the buildup, I wasn't surprised to see them all voting for Shinomiya. Of course he would be better - after all, he's had way more experience! The flashback to his past was pretty cool though. Seems like he's really hit a stump huh ... well, I'm glad that eating Megumi's dish was a way to push him to move forward again. Doujima's a crafty guy ... did he plan this all along?! :P Souma's all fired up to get better as well, since he "lost" ... hehe, Doujima knows everything! XD
Ah well, looks like next episode will be more of the training camp. Seems like we have the other judge (with the black hair) in charge of this one ...? :O
