It's out
http://readms.com/r/shokugeki_no_souma/165/3389/1
Erina votes for Souma.
Hisako votes for 1st seat.
Mark my words.
Keep Em posted and thanks mates.
He lost.
Erina votes for 1st seat.
Hisako votes for Souma.
Mark my words.
What happened to the anon posting the color pages? I can't find chapters 163 and 164 in color.
>>141055625
He?
>>141055637
>imblyign
>>141055705
1st seat food gas, is it the best thus far?
Having Souma actually recruited for Central'd be pretty interesting. He'd probably keep being the sponge that he is and absorb all the information he gets from there and continue to better.
On another note, I wonder what Curry's been up to - We haven't seen him at all lately.
Souma going "This is bad... yet, not at all!" is literally him admitting defeat and looking forward to learning from Tsukasa.
>>141055792
whew
>>141055573
Nah, Souma was even saying he won't be satisfied by anything but a decisive outcome.
>>141055863
What is this? A dish for ants?
Please no cop out outcome like a tie.
If Souma wins imma scream
>>141055863
>literally shaking in anticipation
>>141055792
>outline of the plaid
>>141055748
He has to defend the Shiomi seminar, presumably in the next round. Meat, Marui, Megumi, and Kuga should all have matches coming up too, though I expect one or two to be offscreen.
He had his food out first. Souma lost. Time to join Central.
>>141055952
First servers have won before
In the last thread I saw, like half the vol 18 extras were translated. Was the rest finished?
Souma should not win
Does Kuga have chuunibyou?
>>141055734
>>141055974
Azami has done many things wrong, but his human ingredient detector truly is amazing.
>No Erina reaction to Tsukasa's dish
Damn, i expected a full nude because soma only managed to strip her partially
>>141055792
I'm a erina-hater but goddamn she is delicious.
>2 judges
Each will pick one of the dishes, resulting in a draw
>>141056083
Have faith
>>141056083
Nah.
>>141056042
End.
So who's it gonna be?
My money is on Souma losing.
>>141056146
Souma's getting dumpstered.
It's going to be a fucking tie with the person Erina didn't pick going " I lost because muh god tongue."
>>141056146
Souma lost for sure.
>>141056146
Well yeah. He's outclassed here.
>>141055942
Hishoko is beautiful.
>>141055946
Souma Will battle kuga for central too and Will end up winning
>>141055734
I want to eat Erina's tongue.
I just realized Erina has a ribbon and Hisako has a tie.
The strip reactions for Souma's dish was about chestnuts meanwhile Tsukasa's dish had Hisako appear with a living deer. I'm guessing Tsukasa managed to bring out the venison's flavor more.
Gonna dump 163 and 164 in color.
Once he joins central he can get himself kicked out of it after learning all he needed from them, his appetite for knowledge won't let him stay there.
>no hallucination to Souma's dish
he's doomed
>>141056146
Souma's gonna lose, Tsukasa is master of taking care of ingredients and since the deciding factor is how much did they display the taste of game meat he's the obvious choice
In English. Translation not done by me for either chapter.
Victory flags for Souma are there.
When trying his dish, the emphasis was on the ingredients bringing out the flavor of the meat, while Eishi's dish had the ingredients themselves emphasized.
Eishi cooked the better dish, but Souma complimented the meat more.
Pretty sure this is going to go down as a tie.
Erina isn't allowed to verbally approve of Souma's dishes until she accepts his dick.
>>141056401
It was making a "peeled chestnut" stripping joke, but I don't think you are wrong.
>>141056437
Before then he'll be forced to crush some of his friends' clubs though.
>>141056498
I want to compliment Souma's meat
Who's the ghost?
>>141056502
It's not really related though. Both will vote for Tsukasa's dish because it will clearly be superior.
>>141056603
Yuuna from Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san.
>>141056603
Main girl from that new love hina type harem manga in jump. Tosh worked as the artist's assistant before in a previous manga.
>>141055544
>He knew they were there all this time
>>141056146
Thanks for the dump anon.
>inb4 a draw
>inb4 Souma actually wins
>>141056498
Why would he ever win this early? This is a 500+ chapter long running shounen. The MC won't be on top until the manga is nearing its end.
>>141056054
Those Erina strips are reserved for Yukihira-kun.
>>141056603
>Tosh/Tadahiro collab.
Sweet.
>>141056146
So Souma will work to destroy central from the inside out?
>>141056146
My money is on Erina clearly deciding Tsukasa's dish is better, and then Hisako panics and tries to vote for Soma to avoid having him join central, but then Soma looks at her in the eyes and tells her to be honest, so she ends up voting for Tsukasa
It's possible that there will be a draw maybe?
>>141057012
you know it
>>141057188
After learning shit from them he proceeds to challenge every member of the elite 10 one by one, each time defeating them with some skill he learned from his time there (of course with a soma touch that includes some experimental cooking central would be against).
>>141055792
I can almost see it.
>>141057342
you will never stuff your face into her stinky fish stew
>>141057339
Heh, it's that school girl from Yuragi-sou no Yuuna san. I guess Tosh must like his sensei. I'm keeping a eye out for more cameos from now on.
>>141057233
Possible, but unlikely. Souma already said he won't be satisfied by a conclusion that isn't decisive. On the off chance that the girls actually did have a split decision, they'd probably default to the original plan of judging themselves.
>>141057195
Sounds about right.
Hisako bestiality doujin when.
>>141057479
picked up
What if Tsukasa wins but just says that he was honestly joking about forcing Soma to join Central was just wagered his seat to get Soma hyped and have him at his best, trampling on Soma's ego by never even considering the chance of losing?
>>141057479
Delicious. Anyone read this? Is it good?
so how could the story continue if souma actually wins?
If he loses there will be a rescue arc right?
>>141056001
At the very least, I remember that Erina with the washing machine and the reindeer Megumi and Erina pages weren't translated.
>>141057624
>>141057624
It really basically is love hina plus more outright supernatural stuff. We'll see how it goes.
Am I the only one who skip the food explanation ?
>>141057588
Hope you like it.
>>141057813
Done. 164 up next.
>>141057563
You got this in color? I love me some Hisako in color.
>>141057624
It's comfy old fashioned fun, seems kind of sol so far with some monster-of-the-week type chapters. Things might change but don't set outrageous expectations and you will enjoy it for what it is.

So how many chapters will Souma be in Central for? Feels like this is going to be a long arc.
So are they just gonna "Ash Ketchum" Souma into oblivion ?
>>141058636

>>141059947
Class was over and everyone else is what it looked like.
Damn, Hisako foodgasmed last chapter and then foodgasmed twice this chapter. I'm loving it.
So did you watch the OVA, fags?
When is the other coming out?
>>141057563
You post this with me having the new xxzero doujin on the next tab. Damn I hope someone delivers on this particular pairing.
>>141055471
Ok anons. My perverted mind went off the charts. I am hoping Soma loses and becomes Tsukasa-senpai's underling. I man look at this dude. He took of his shirt and is ready for Soma-kun. He will be in love with Soma in no time. Then we will get Rindou-senpai Tsukasa-senpai and Soma threesome actions.

All according to keikaku.
>>141056989
It'll never happen
>>141055471
It's obviously going to be a tie
Is this when Erina accepts Souma's cooking?
Can anyone post the color cover for volume 17? The one with Momo

It depends on what you consider the arc, I guess. Some people consider everything since the moon festival a single arc.

>Hishoko: purple hair, red eyes

Is this supposed to be some kind of POTTERY?
>>141059823
Sure, but she did have to train to identify what each taste was, and that asshole was the one training her to do that.
>>141060739
Pool oad comes out with vol 19, which is June iirc.
>>141067004
No, he just trained her to unconsciously distinguish and discriminate between patrician and plen foods.
>>141065767
She accepted his cooking the second she realized Souma was Jouichirou's son.
>>141066961Threesome end foreshadow
>>141067264
How shallow. As expected of Erinashit.
>>141066961
It's showcasing how ANIME the designs are.
>>141055992
I only remember Dog vs Megloomy and Stalker vs Takumi
>>141067194
He did that too, but no he really did train her to distinguish and identify that way.
>>141067264
She accepted him as a cook well before then, but even now after that reveal, she still has issues with his unorthodox cooking. Her time at the PSD is helping since as we saw they all try some unorthodox things so she's starting to come around.
why does author even waste our time its already gonna be a 1st seat win
>>141067688
To strip Hishoko as many times as possible.
depending on "bizarre voting" there's going to be a wave of shipping
>>141055544
>homo successfully avoided
>>141067688
For one thing, way too many people seem to think Souma can win, and the author needs to bring them back down to earth. Second, assuming Souma doesn't get to welch, this is likely setup for Souma fighting some of his friends on the next round of purges.
Gentlemen, how do we fix Shokugeki no Soma?
I legitimately think it will be a tie.
And for this reason:
Hishoko will go Tsukasa
Erina will go Souma.
Specifically because of this -- Erina has been engineered to favor the kind of cooking that Souma's father makes. The reason she always melts whenever she eats something by him, while stonewalling everyone else is because she is being exposed to the exact kind of cooking (or at least similar to) as the one she has been trained to accept as God-tier.
Hishoko will say that the meat's natural harmony with the dish is why it is more tuned for the venison, while Erina's god tongue will be sought to immediately favor something more liked to Souma's father's food.
Just a thought/theory.
Hope I'm wrong. I don't want another fucking dumbass tie.
>>141068712
Gentleman, how do we make faggots like this stop posting?
>>141068729
That's not exactly true though. Erina liked the furikake gohan, and yes that was Souma using one of his dad's recipes, but she wasn't that into his beaf stew, which though served at Yukihira's was actually Souma's concoction.
And these last few chapters (including the title of this one) have been hinting that we're seeing Souma find his own specialty, unlike back kn the election.
>>141068964
But him creating his own specialty does not necessarily mean he is throwing away the mechanics and techniques and flavor abilities taught to him by his father.
Sure the dish itself may differ, but to say Souma is creating something completely without using the tools given to him in his childhood days would be absurd. I still think his cooking resembles his father's at least in style and innovative inception.
>>141068712
Gentlemen.. dont be a faggot
>>141069053
Of course not. Souma can't, and would never choose to, throw away where he came from. But he has been working hard to establish his own culinary identity. This is vital to his end of the series goal of beating Jou since there's no way he'd ever beat his old man by imitating him.
Why are these thread suddenly active?
>>141069299
But my point isn't that he's imitating. It's that he resembles him. He still has the idiosyncrasies of his father's cooking.
Regardless, I hope I'm wrong anyways.
>>141068712
>gentlemen
>/a/
>>141069324
There's actually something to talk about.
/a/ how do I learn how to cook
>>141069557
As a person who's okish at cooking (good with some thing, bad with others)
It's actually really fun. Even if you suck. The process of learning how to cook isn't that bad. Just search a good sequence of youtube videos that are instructional. Cooking is a good tool to have.
I guess everyone is going all in on the tie outcome.
Seriously though, there's just no way Souma cheeses a win out of this and gets 1st seat.
It's just not possible.
>>141069557
You just do it a lot. There are techniques that can help, but honestly it's mostly muscle memory and learning from fuckups why everything is in the recipe. I would recommend doing some sort of bulk cooking, like making a week's worth of meals, because it forces you to practice the essentials a lot.
>>141069779
No, only stupid people think it will be a tie. Souma will lose and be forced to join Central. Screencap this post.
>>141069824
>Souma will lose and be forced to join Central.
Then, what will happen to his restaurant?
>>141069879
It's not a permanent situation, but it's the next arc of the manga, and the next part of his character growth. It allows us to actually get to know the members of Central as antagonists, and creates conflict with actual tension as Souma is forced to compete against his friends. It's the obvious path.
>>141069824
It's really the only outcome that can go anywhere. A tie does nothing but stagnate the plot. Souma winning makes Tsukasa way overhyped for nothing and puts him in the first seat, which also doesn't really lead anywhere and has little room for expansion.
Souma joining Central makes an interesting development where he learns from the Elite 10, learns more about Central's plans, and possibly has to face his friends in shokugekis.
>>141069557
Google very basic shit like how to boil pasta, cook eggs, etc. so you're not completely kitchen illiterate.
Then go grocery shopping, buy random veggies, meats, and seasonings. Throw shit together on a pan and go ham. You'll find out what works and what doesn't.
I think Souma is joining central.
1st Seat cooked a real dish.
Souma added candy to his. I just think 1st seat's dish was better, better cooked and better sauce.
My money is on them lying and Soma getting pissed about it.
Souma's probably joining Central. Even if he loses he didn't seem all that upset.
I'd be fine with it too. Souma joining Central is a very interesting direction for the plot. If done right I'd say it redeems Azami.
>>141070608
How would he know?
He still doesn't know that Erina lied when she tasted the dish he made when he entered the academy.
>>141070116
It's the best path at any rate. And since Souma largely doesn't care about negative outcomes for himself, maybe having to screw over his friends will make him a little less reckless.

Why are these nerds so obsessed with cooking? Why don't they do something productive like practice medicine or build houses?
>>141056146
So we know it'll be split, right?
Erina will vote for Souma and Hishoko will vote for Eishi.
