The art and character designs in this series is so pretty.
Who's your favorite Shokugeki so far?
Milf-sama
She's made forhate-fucking.
Takumi
I love this girl so much.
>CAN WE GO HUNTING FOR OUR DATE TODAY!? I HAVE A SPARE GUN FOR YOU
Spoilers when?

I want to bully her.
>she will never be the main heroine of anything
Why live?
I just want to marry Megumi.
>>124964090
Is Lucie a weeaboo? Why does she speak fluent enough japonaise to be relocated to Tokyo?
For boy >>124963196
Souma's dad is probably second.
For girl Alice, >>124963839 is close second.
>>124962853
Alice, Leonora, and Meat.
Taki-senpai also a cute, as well as the freckled Frenchie who works for Shinomiya.
The animation is actual quality and on art. Hope this keeps up.Tadokoro a best.
Alice of the girls and Takumi from the boys.
>>124962853
Nikumii
She will be best girl of the year
>>124964090
I would actually be fine with her being the main heroine, if only to finally have some variety.
Has there ever been a freckled energetic cheerful tomboy heroine who also worked seriously in any manga ever?
>>124964247
Maybe she was relocated BECAUSE she spoke fluent japonaise.
>>124964390
That's exactly what anon was saying.
>>124964247
Maybe she learned because of family? Maybe she learned because one of the fastest rising French chefs is Japanese?
>>124964390
But the question is why would random French woman speak fluent Japanese unless she is a weeaboo.
>>124964461
Maybe she loves lettuce that much.
>>124964461
Her long-term boss is a native japanese, I don't think it's too far-fetched that maybe she learned it in her off time.
Or maybe it is, since she's a chef in a fancy restaurant.
Whatever, it's a manga. She speaks japanese because a language barrier would have been a pain to write around.
>>124962853
I usually hate girls like Tadokoro and I disliked her when reading the manga as well but her VA's perfomance really hits the good spot. I really fell for that voice, my opinion did a 180°.
Just waiting for Akira now, curious as to see if my opinion will change or not.
>>124964521
We can just pretend they are actually speaking English.
>>124964521
>That one Bambino! arc with Ban in Los Angeles and some street urchin who happened to be a Japanese interpreter
In hindsight, I can suspend my disbelief as much as I need to.
My final vote for Gin has been cast.

>>124963839
She's quite cute with her hair down too.
Btw folks, has the nip survey finished yet? Who won? Erina or Takumi?;_;
>>124965378
Today is the last day.
>>124965378
>>124965425
They'll probably only release the results in the next issue.
>>124963839
>>124965378
Who should she end up with? Marui?
>>124965568
There's no need to pair up every single character with another.
She can just stay cute and pure while being single.
>>124962853
Alice best girl.
Nikumi close second.I want Meat to win Somabowl
>>124965378
>Who won? Erina or Takumi?
>two worst characters took two first places in character poll
Is it the epitome of japanese shit taste? Now if only megumi was third, that would also be top-3 of worst characters.
>>124962853
>>124963723
>>124964019
She's as cute as a button
Hishoko and Hisui-senpai
>>124962896
Superb
>>124965982
>Now if only megumi was third, that would also be top-3 of worst characters.
I see you are Japanese yourself.
>>124964311
>>124964350
>>124965862
Good, I see there are still some patricians around.
>>124966309
But only japanese like doormat characters anon
>>124966490
>liking a boring empty husk of a character just because she's brown with big tits and dresses like a literal whore
Nice one, dude.
>>124966560
Still better than liking Erina
>>124962853
Takumi for the boys, Hisako and Alice for the girls.
>>124966490
Erina would be disgusted with your lack of tastenot like she's any better
>>124966601
*Megumi
Remember to vote for your favorite character.
http://sgsomasousenkyo.com/
This pool now has more than 34.000 votes and will end today.
Is there anyone else besides Erina that has some knowledge of the Yukihira family reputation?
>>124969719
>34.000 votes
I wonder how many of these are different people, since you can vote once every day.I voted for Alice, for Hisako and 3 times for Takumi
>>124970175
I voted mostly for Alice and Ryou, sometimes for Megumi. I want at least Ryou on top 10.
>>124970175Greattaste.
I voted since the first day so that is like 30 votes? Switched between Hisako and Takumi
>>124970082
Of course, he's famous. The reason nobody can tell Souma is his son from the name is that he took his wife's name sometime after (?) leaving Tootsuki.
>>124969719
>>124970082
Wait, if you mean Saiba, then yes. If you mean Yukihira, I don't know. Doujima mentioned that the name was familiar, though in the end it wouldn't be a surprise that he's know the name his friend married into.
>>124965568
Marui already has a cheffu. Some nerdy qt in his club has the hots for his database.
An SnS thread that's not half-filled with erinafag and anti-erinafag shitposting? I'm shocked.
>>124971555
This thread is barely alive, just you wait for the new chapter.
>>124971555
The Erinathread just died, so expect all that to migrate here.
>>124971702
ERINA A WORSTI can't wait for the eventual dere transformation
>>124971899
She's already been dere all along anon, she just doesn't show it to anyone but hishoko
>>124962853
Erina. My heart will explode when she goes 110% dere
does tosh even have girls like megumi in his smut?
>>124972112
tosh isn't writing the story for SnS
>>124972011
There's not a pint of dere in that pic.
I want to see a grill fawning with such doki doki she won't even need Soma's food as a trigger.
Besides Kurase and Mito, I mean.
>>124962853
The fluffiest
>>124972156
i know, but it's still just a design based question
can't really expect a football/soccer mangaka to suddenly do a food based manga either
>>124970915
Really? I don't remember that.
so we've established that erina is taste, and currynigger is smell.
there are some theories about who is touch (started off as MEAT because of her sensitive lips, but she's not a top-tier chef) with most people suggesting ryou or alice.
does that make copystalker the chef of sight? not only does he put together dishes based on his observations, his flashback even revealed he could perfectly recreate a dish just from looking at a picture of it. that's pretty powerful.
>>124972156
I read in an interview with their editor that Tosh has more input in the story than it's usual for writer/artist pairs. I can't source it though, it's been a while.
>>124972312
I'd her glasses
>>124972287
Not that I'm not thrilled with SnS actually moving along and driving the plot to sophomore year, but I'd really like another "Shokugeki no Soma is a cooking manga" chapter.
>Captcha suddenly asks for ice cream
It grows
>>124972340
Here.
>>124972394
>captcha asks for burgers
>only two things even close are a chicken sandwich and a bagel with ham egg and cheese inside
>I get predictably upset
I wonder if it's giving me this captcha just cause I'm american and therefore easy to tease
>>124972459
>>124972391
I'll be rooting for him, then.
>>124972391
>A literal bottom feeder like Marui plonks to top 15 with qt grill power
I don't care if it's Megumi, Meat, Erina, or someone else entirely; just give Soma his dang waifu and let's get next year started.
>>124972517
>>124972468
I keep getting cake and sushi, personally. Captcha doesn't even know what a steak looks like but I roll that often, too.
are they ever gonna make pizza? or at least okonomiyaki
>>124972636
>asks for sushi
>one of the answers is a tray of cupcakes
I feel like I'm being rused
On second thought that would be an interesting SnS dish, judges get presented sushi that looks like cupcakes so it's like a salty-sweet surpise. Alice could pull it off.
>>124972562
>A literal bottom feeder like Marui
Fuck you, Marui is good.
>>124972641
I expect Pizza will be Takumi's THAT.
What else would they be saving it for?
>>124972562
>hatin' on marui
You just jelly your shit is shitty next to his.
>>124972707
The manga needs more dessert period.
Especially since Gigasaki's semifreddo was basically the same thing as Takumi's.
Soma's shaved ice in that Meat side chapter didn't count.
>>124972708
PSD first year cooking strength:
Souma > Megumi > Smoke > Yuuki > Ryouko > Marui >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Butt Pirate Twins
search your heart anon, you know this to be true
>>124972707
Holy hell, I thought captcha confusing a steamer full of shumai for sushi was bad, but that is just inexcusable.
>>124972792
Marui scored higher that Ryouko and Yuuki with the same judges.
>>124972787
I got so fucking pissed when the theme for takumi's match was just "dessert" like whoop de fucking doo, the only broader a category could get would be "food". we had curry, bento, ramen, and burgers before that, all of which were rather interpretive categories themselves. they could have at least chosen a specific dessert like "fruit pie" or "ice cream"
>>124972792
>Smoke>Yuuki> ryoko> Marui
Did you just skip the preliminaries? Smoke and Marui are equal.
>>124972792
I would put Soma at least three strokes above everyone else his age in PSD.
>Roll sushi again
>second answer is char siu buns
Dim sum expert when?
>>124972851
Scratch that, Yuuki was in block B but still.
>>124972851
yuuki had different judges, but still 2 points is not a lot of difference. given most themes, I strongly believe that both girls would place narrowly above him, marui lucked out that time.
>>124972995
Stop thinking with your dick anon
>>124972995
>marui lucked out that time.
And why is he the one who lucked out?
>not wanting to dick marui's utterly cleansed technique informed boypussy
>>124973097
>curry is a harder genre for people who haven't mastered the knowledge of spices
>yuuki's specialty is game animals, not inherently useful to curry but can be adapted
>ryouko's specialty is fermentation, not inherently useful to curry but can be adapted
>marui has no particular specialty and even admits to having weaker talent and skills, so he makes up for it with his knowledge of techniques and ingredients, which comes especially in handy with such a tricky dish as curry
are you dense?
>>124973245
>curry is a harder genre for people who haven't mastered the knowledge of spices
This is the case for literally every single dish ever, having far more knowledge puts you always at big advantage.
>>124973514
>a dish that is DEFINITIVELY centered around spices and even is named for a spice, does not require any more knowledge of spices than anything else
what
>>124973514
all that having a lot of knowledge gets to amount to is being a jack of all trades, master of none. that kind of character will always be an "also-ran" by definition, because everyone else will outshine him in something. I don't agree with the guy who says he's the sixth best PSD first year, but he can't be better than middle of the pack until he develops or reveals a hidden specialty
>>124972326
Maybe, gigganigga's abilities were insane, honestly.
>>124973245
do we have a general list of what the first year students all specialize in?
There needs to be morevanillaMeat doujins
>>124973245
Believe what you want, but I doubt the author put much thought into the ratings of the students outside of his chosen top 8. I think they were just their shonen power levels and that's it
Thinking about it, all those ties and close scores were kinda silly to begin with when every judge had a 0-100 scale to work with. Should've been spread out more
Erina a shit.
Worse than Emi and Kirino.
>>124973869
More? We have enough of those.
How about some Alice instead? Or hell, Erina. Yuuki. Anyone else.
>>124973869
We need moreyuridoujins.
>>124973829
I'm still on the autumn election semifinals but this is what I got so far:
Erina: tasting food
Hisako: medicinal food
Alice: gastronomics
Ryou: overpowering seafood
Souma: improvising, and improving on his mistakes
Megumi: hospitality, and fukushima local cuisine
Ryouko: fermentation
Yuuki: game animals
Ibusaki: smoked foods
Marui: historical knowledge
Takumi: italian food
Isami: italian food
Hayama: spices
Ikumi: meat
Subaru: copying and perfecting others' dishes
Houjou: chinese food
Nao: boiled food
>>124974024
to be fair, there were many more students who got way worse scores in the rest of that scale. they just happen to be background characters.
>>124974354
thanks, anon.
