Literally the best fucking thing I could have asked for, it's such an amazing feeling when a character that had been talking a bunch of shit gets completely and utterly destroyed/embarrassed in front of everyone.
Soma is just all like "It wasn't much" god damn it's like "Oh I didn't even break a sweat"
>>134653332
Is this some new form of falseflagging?
>villain loses because MC puts his career/future on the line
Was very anti-climatic. The author really needs to stop putting that shitty ass trope in the story because there is no way it ends poorly for the main character
>>134653425
Yeah it's true that it had the old cliche of "MC never loses" but Eizan was getting on my nerves with his superiority complex so it was nice to see Soma completely rekt him after he talked so much shit.
>>134653458
MC's lose all the time. MC's will NEVER lose when they put something like their entire reason for existing on the line.
>>134653485
Look I understand that you have strong feelings towards cooking and this manga in general but I still enjoy this manga.
It's like saying "Oh I enjoy Prince of Tennis or Kuroko No Basket, and yet Tennis and Basketball will never actually be this amazing to watch/play in real life"
I do agree somewhat that this series isn't nearly as entertaining as the series I just mentioned above.
>>134653332
OSAMATSU!
>>134653485
I'm not a faggot and I cook every day for my imouto.
>>134653519
He could just go home, fuck that girl from the first chapter, inherit his dad's restaurant, and raise some soumettes.
>>134653570
So just curious if you abhor cooking so much then what do you do for meals? Like do you just have someone else cook for you? Or do you live off fast food?
>>134653570
Do you have some sort of issues with cooking? Or are you one of those faggots who only eat outside.
>>134653679
>I cook simple meals that do not require faggot knowledge
Such as?
>>134653679
That's still cooking nigga
>>134653749
It sounds more like he is just upset that he can't cook complex dishes and other people can.
Literally all it sounds like to me, just straight jealousy at people who can do something better than he can so he belittles them for it.
>>134653812
Can we get back to discussing the manga, now?
Specifically, how >TFW RINDOU STILL HASN'T STRIPPED
I seriously wonder what Tosh is saving her for. If she won't strip for the main protagonist's...food, who will she strip for?It had better not be Azami.
>>134653972
She's the VP, you can't strip her right away.
>>134653588
His dad will disown him if he did that, not that it will happen judging from Souma's personality.
>>134653972
Muh dick isn't ready for that yet. It needs warm up.
>>134653332
> Fucking Ketchup
>>134653425
To be fair, there's literally no other way to do it. If the protagonist doesn't put his future on the line, then none of his battles have any meaning. But if he DOES put his future on the line, then he needs to win because if he loses, then the story's over.
It's one of the biggest innate failings of any story like Shokugeki no Soma. If a battle has meaning, it must be won. If a battle has no meaning, then it's meaningless. There's no middle ground.
>>134653812
What if her foodgasms go by levels? For example what we've seen so far is level 1, whereas level 2 has herwith her jacket off?
>>134654647
>with her jacket off?
Dick status: muh.
>>134653555
>cooking for imotou
>not having her cook in nothing but a naked apron
Totally Haram.
>>134653332
Why do people read this shit again?
>>134653332
Top Kek-aiku Doori
>>134655549
Wrong thread faggot.
Color pages when?
>>134653485
Oh you faggot, I would never let a woman cook my meals... After the 70's they wanted to focus on burning bras and fuck everything up, now they can't fucking cook an egg. Ell best chefs are men, and men who can't cook are fucking useless faggots.
>>134657280
Today or tomorrow.
>>134653332
>Dude what if, like, we mix different flavours together?
>Nahh dude every meal should have one flavour
>But what if, like, we mix different flavours together?
Is this a Japanese thing? The idea of using complementary flavours like cheese and tomato is something a fucking five year old could come up with.
>>134658293
That's kind of the point. Eizan forgot his fundamentals and lost.
>>134658325
That's not how it was presented at all. Eizan, the Judges, Central and Erina all agreed that you should only use one flavour for a dish and that having multiple strong ingredients was a rookie mistake. The idea of complementary flavours was presented as something revolutionary that you could only come up with in an experimental think tank like their dorm.
>>134653425
The problem is that when the stakes are this high there's no way the MC will lose since it'd seriously fuck up the manga
>>134653485
>Cooking
>Gay
>Be a cook in any name-able kitchen
>Instant VIP passage to obscene amounts of pussy
>I'm talking server girl pussy, which is at least 6-7/10 on the normal scale
>Only downside is you'll never have to take advantage of it, or do anything else in life for that matter
>Get depressed, drink with similarly depressed friends/ colleagues on a daily basis and wait for that inevitable Hep B you catch in the kitchen to eat your lifespan away
>>134653485
Yeah right, that's exactly why the best chefs in the world are all males, and most of them have 9/10 wives on their side.
You're a fool.
>>134653332
>ketchup
>ketchup
>ketchup
>ketchup
This is getting more and more ridiculous.
Oh sweet jesus.
>>134661921
I read it for the recipes.
I was hoping that rather than crushing Eizan's cooking, Souma was going to out-underhand Eizan and make it so the judges unintentionally voted for him.
In universe this result is hardly an asspull
Eizan convinced the judging group to fix matches and get rid of the chefs that go against central's style
Then in the actual match Eizan was lazy and uninteresting since he assumed auto win
Judges realized Souma's food is actually on par with their ideals so they ate it and it beat out Eizan's lame attempt
Now we'll probably get an arc with Eizan getting expelled from central and one of the first years being recruited into it as a follow up to the tournament conclusion
>>134657661
Cooking is for men whilst cleaning is for women.
>>134661921
I was disappointed. I expected more from Tosh.
>>134653332
Tsukuda made Eizan a really shit villian...I hope Azami will not get the same treatment.
this manga will go Megumi route 100%
>>134661921
Wish I had hq raws for this chapter
>>134662426
She'll obviously be a recurring character during the arc, no need to blow his load early on and have her naked in ecstasy. Her underwhelming reaction shows that she's probably one of the stronger 10
>>134653726
putting a pizza in the oven is probably "cooking" to him
>>134662426
That means Souma's dish was good but not THAT good.
And she's one of the stronger cooks, she is a gluttony but still has a refined palate.
>>134661921
>actual vampire fangs
what were they thinking?
>All these people actually believing Soma would lose to a shitter like Eizan
>The MC WON, how predictable!
Regular Nostradamus here.
>>134665446
Better than whatshisface's is the point.
There are kind of two possibilities with the scenario established, either the dude is a mediocre chef who bought his way into the top tier, or he's just good enough but not particularly driven like the guy who tried to expel Souma early on.
The whole central setup has basically been, stop improving your skills as a chef and just become a copycat robot to the already established students. would think a good number would just quit on their own perhaps.
>>134665632
She has fucking cat eyes what did you expect
Naysayers got BTFO, the chapter was pretty much perfect and even the resolution, the reason for Soma's superiority was satisfying and not even predictable. I didn't see a single whining post be correct about why Soma won.
>>134662200
Will Rindou be the enforcer? She's there to hand him the pink slip if he shamed Central.
>>134658556
He finally has to steal some land and other things to put these on stake.
>>134654618
WRONG. Make every fight stuck on his career and half him fail half of them.
Example: he gets kicked out. Then travels the world to learn. He has a cook-off to learn a skill and wins! He decides to take his new skill to a competition and bets his right hand (his cooking hand) if he loses THEN LOSES HIS HAND. Then he continues to perfect 1 handed cooking and travels back to challenge Azami and bets his cooking career on a cook-off and WINS. Then he bets his life and LOSES then DIES but gets main chick pregnant and now it is about his kid learning cooking from his grandfather to get REVENGE
>>134653332
CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIN
>>134666042
You can excuse cat eyes with wearing fake contact lenses, but I doubt that anyone who isn't 8 would go out every day using fake vampire teeth.
>>134666206
yeah, sure
>>134666452
would watch
>>134666452
They did this, it's called Kaiji
>>134666452
You'd be a terrible writer
Eh, I'm glad Eizan was kind of a tosser and easy to beat. Now it means the other E10 guys can make appearances and do stuff. Considering there's sort of a tier going with the members on Azami's side (Eizan<Nene<Saitou<Momo<Rindou<Tsukasa), that just means there's a chance this arc will have some greater challenges.
>>134653332
>soma defeats another cocky cook
don't you faggots get tired of this?
>>134661921
why does she has fangs? not that im complaining tho.
This arc is garbage, but this sub-arc is basically done as well as it could be considering the greater story arc of Azami taking over.
That said, Eizan is so fucking much of a jobber it's absurd.
>is seen from everyone as a businessman rather than a cook
>suddenly gets hyped as a great cook out of nowhere
>literally beaten 2 chapters after
They could at least have completely went with the "Eizan can't cook, he's just that good of a businessman for the school to give him a high position for a student and that's why he went with outrageous match-fixing" thing all the way.
>>134653425
Ummm...isn't that how most stories go? Protagonist puts everything on the line and win? I mean is this a problem exclusive to Shokugeki or stories in general?
>>134653485
Are you latino? Latinos always have their moms cooking for them no matter what age.
>>134653485
if you need to rely on someone else for something as easy as cooking, you deserve a fucking dick up your ass to provide you with your jollies.
>>134666966

>>134653679
It's still cooking, but your simple and nutritious meals are probably the reason you are so bitter to be sprouting such bullshit.

He was always going to be a shitty villain. Eizan is way too petty to ever be a good one.

>>134653332

And so another potential gone to waste. Sasuga.

There are differing underlying philosophies at work:
India:
>After studying more than 2,500 recipes, scientists discovered that, contrary to what we might expect, the secret to Indian food’s exquisite taste is actually pairing ingredients that do not share many flavors. Furthermore, certain spices were found to actually accentuate this so-called negative food pairing phenomenon, such as cayenne pepper.
Western world:
>In the Western world, the prevailing hypothesis is that foods that share many flavors should go well together.
Japan:
Probably something like: Ingredients should not be overpowered, every ingredient should count (while caring not as much about pairing).

>>134667694
If you think that then you're overcooking your steak. And I'm not saying eat rare steak, I like well-done too, but you have to know how to make it without drying out the juices.
>>134661921
She should get a taste of Souma.
Though I doubt her Lust-meter isn't full enough to get her to jump him.
>>134668343
I made butter chicken yesterday, and when I ate it I paired it with some homemade Greek yogurt. It was divine.
The cold tang of the yogurt and the sweet heat of the chicken were amazing together.

>>134668104

>>134668104
The thing is that it actually works for the cooking manga where shit is about cooking. But when it happens in something that is serious and is life or death situation it kind of ruins it.
>>134653332
>Eizan said to be better than a few seats ranked above him
>Souma steamrolls him easier than Giganigga
Erina and Kuga confirmed absolute shit tier
>>134653425
Yeah you know would Iove to see?
The MC actually losing, which does happen from time to time but goes hand in hand with a "come back" arc.
Which MC fails yet again and gives up, then starts to follow another route and the story does a completely 180°.
>>134653425
Maybe this manga isn't for you. By now you should know the formula of this manga and honestly still complaining about shit like this just makes you look dumb.
>>134671112
This, I am tired of seeing faggots who can only complain when the manga doesn't follow their dumb fanfiction. It would be completely out of character for the author to make Souma lose here for the sake of cheap tweests some faggots believe is superior writing.
>>134668104
It's kinda telegraphing that the retard won't win and they will be BTFO very soon. Very rarely have I seen a villain to this shit and actually get away with what they were doing. Not even Terumi got away with it and he gets away with everything!
>>134671578
I'm just pissed at the people implying that this "ruins the story" because of how "unrealistic" it is that he overcame bribed judges with food.
Have these people actually read the fucking series? Soma's character introduction is him using an impromptu dish to thwart a bunch of real estate sharks that vandalized and then broke into his house/restaurant and then threatened him. Yet this thing with Eizen is what broke the camel's back?
So according to shitposters: Use food to change the mind of thugs with probable connections to organized crime who already committed felonies trying to scare you into selling your property? Totally legit and nothing to complain about. Use food to overcome some bribed suits in a cooking contest? STOP THE PRESSES AND DROP THIS SHIT, SHARK HAS BEEN JUMPED
>>134672025
That's because the judges are food experts and the difference is that they were suppose to not even taste his food. I think the only problem this arc had was that it was so predictable and without some key points that were later introduced it would come out as asspully. I know many anons jumped the shark me included because those points weren't addressed earlier, pic related. I thought Souma was being a retard all this chapters before but in fact he was fucking with everyone so that they would taste his food.
>>134672658
>pic related
Woops
Eizan better be pissed that he was basically robbed and sue those suits for violation of contract.
>>134672904
>obtaining a contract of your bribes
>attempting to sue people you bribed
yeah no, that shit might fly in the Azami circlejerk the academy has because but if he wants to sue them he is gonna need to get the actual courts involved and even the most corrupt judge will laugh "I bribed them but they didn't do what they were told to" out of court

>If she eats garlic would she die?
In fact, garlic is extremely toxic to cats and the consumption of even a small amount can lead to severe poisoning and, if not treated in time, death.
