Souma unknowingly and indirectly going against an elite ten :O
The girl better become a pro food tester if she wants to continue seeing souma.

So one of the Elite Ten seems to be involved with the new and trending karage shop. It'll be interesting to see how Souma plays it out

Feel kinda bad for this girl....

You don't go to the same school and you gotta compete against the likes of Nikumi, Megumi, and Erina-Sama....

You've got zero chance.

Come on now, just start with the Autumn election! They should've skipped the damn boring Karaage arc >.> inb4 Karaage arc has some important development, they should've changed the developments from the manga then. Made it somehow to fit them skipping the Karaage arc. This arc is way too boring imo >.>

Kurase's competition is overwhelming, not only does she not have screen time but she's also a childhood friend, talk about low chances.
Soma is basically messing with the business of an elite ten member.


There is no low or high chances in shounen manga when it comes to pairings.
They consist of 100% trolling.
One ship get´s the most exposure that becomes the canon one everything else is fanservice so that the shippers don´t leave the boat.

I´ve seen it done in Shaman King.
It was the same in Ranma 1/2.
Inuyasha did the same.
Naruto did the same.
Bleach is doing the same.
Fairy Tail is towering them all.

SNS just takes it to another level.
This. It's the same with every harem mangas as well, 1 ship is cannon, others are just fanservice.

If you look closely the shadowed figured of the rest of the Elite Ten actually look like them(they look rather plain in the manga), guess they updated it after they were revealed in the manga.

Great episode of Shokugeki! Souma is back in his hometown and he's trying to win back the shopping districts' customers. Mozuya seems to be doing really well with their karaage though. Souma calling Nikumi over for help is perfect. The Mozuya woman is hilarious especially when she does her really serious voice and face. Can't wait for the next episode. Teasing the Autumn Election arc, man my body is ready.

Loved the episode. Karaage and Ikumi? Can't ask for more!!
Can't wait to see what Souma does next week to win back the customers to the shopping district.



Have more confidence Kurase! (though I ship Souma x Ikumi)



Ikumi = best girl.

Don't know why anyone would hate this arc. It's a good chapter of Soma doing what he does best, experimenting on making better foods against overly powerful opponents. This time an opponent backed by an Elite 10 no less.

We had some new characters

Mayumi is pretty cute.



Aki is a great wing-woman



We had lovely food porn



We had foodgasims



We even had fineass Nikumi as well



How is this any different from the other episodes we've seen thus far?

Well you know how the shippers can get. They are pissed about the lack or Erina or Megumi......

This small arc is like a calm before the storm and it's also nice to see Souma outside Totsuki and in his home ground.

Aki was pretty hilarious when she judo chopped Kurase's belly and started controlling her. LOL! I enjoyed Nikumi's presence in this episode. At least we get to see her recurring than use the same old, same old characters. Though I'm not too fond of tsundere girls, she was exceptionally entertaining.

I like Kurase, but I don't like the fact that there are 2 timid characters in this anime (Kurase and Megumi). And unfortunately for her, I've already come to like Megumi the most thus far.

It's hard for me to choose which girl is the best of this show, but Nikumi almost certainly my top choice now. She really wants to make an impression on Soma with her outfit and all. So cute! =3

Mayumi's pretty cute as well, it was about time that she showed up again. Lucky Soma having these two lovely ladies help him out! >_<

The Karaage food looks delicious, but that woman running the shop needs to be put in her place ASAP. However, Soma's indirectly dealing with the elite ten, so I doubt this will go as smoothly as I hoped it would go.

Overall, another great episode. =D

Out of all the people Souma met at Engetsu Academy, Nikumi's like, Mayumi's nemesis in both body & attitude. She's been overwhelmed by all that A-5 meat...

She'd probably get along fine with Megumi though.

So now he is indirectly fighting against one of the Top10? Interesting twist, I can't wait for Soma to defeat them and I really wonder what he wants to do.

I guess Mayumi is another girl to his harem then? Or the one and only? She is too similiar to Tadokoro to my taste though. And she acted only as comedy relief most of the time, so I don't see her as a rival. Nikumi's arrival was nice though, I really liked that she is now cooperating with Soma.

Since you noticed the similarities, it´s a neat trick from the author to differentiate the Harem girls although he recycles them.

Ikumi is the toned down easy to get version of Erina. Rich famous and arrogant.
Mayumi is the toned down easy to get version of Megumi. Timid, rural and lack of confidence.

Erina=Rival= Has never beaten her yet, scene switched to her right after father announced wife hunt.
Megumi=Friendzone=spents most time with her, has seen her naked.

Haha, God i love Nikumi. She's so adorable and she doesn't get nearly enough screen time for my liking, but at least she stars in this arc. This arc was one of my favorites from the manga too, so it's nice to see it animated. Can't wait to see the conclusion next week.

Fixed. He was the 1st seat of the 69th generation. It was confirmed in the last episode.

Not overtly important as in you see the results immediately but shapes the events to follow, in a away this arc is very important in shifting forward to where the Manga got incredibly good.

Because it's filled with irrelevant shallow characters which we won't see after this until indefinite time (except for Nikumi and Eizen and obv Souma) and feels like a filler. Waste of episodes and chapters.
