| Wondering if anyone can tell me if Erina knows who Souma's dad is yet? |
Around and around the cycle goes. |
| I'm glad Souma didn't win |
| Loved Akira winning, this was a good result. Nice to see the MC not win. |

| Around and around the cycle goes. |
| I love Hayama Akira so much <3 really Happy for him~ |
| I caved in to temptation and read chapter 103 of the manga a few days ago since I wanted to find out who won, and like in the anime, when they started to showcase Akira's backstory, I knew that he was going to be the victor. Still, Soma lost, showing that he hasn't always have the 'plotarmour' as others might say, to help him win, and as shown, this defeat will help him improve his dishes and get better as a chef and then, maybe, battle against Akira again and win. =) One person who I'm glad didn't win was Kurokiba. The salt was amusing real for him as he snapped out at Alice who was disappointed in him for not winning. Anyway, the arc is over and a new one is starting up and with 3 episodes left to do it in, I won't be surprised if the pacing becomes rushed in a couple of places in order to get this arc done. Great episode overall and when will Erina start to appreciate Soma and his dishes more openly? |
| wait hold up how did she find out about his sense of smell?! just like that?! and it was obvious he was going to lose but that helped him grow |
 |
| Ooh, an unexpected result! Expected Yukihira to win so it's cool to see it go another way. The episode itself was nothing special, but nonetheless a solid conclusion to the finals. |
| It was nice episode until that cliche story about poor Hayama... when I saw him in this old village I knew he gonna win... and that pissed me even more as his dish was the worst... When chefs were talikng about special dish that only one chef can make I was thinking about Ryou as his dishes are always special and only he can make them or also Souma as he is original. Alice dumping Ryou looked like lovers break up ;d 3/5 5/5 if Ryou or Souma would win. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Didn't expect Souma to actually lose wow o.O, although I'm not disappointed with Hayama winning. Nice to see more of Hayama's and Jun's past, also that hug was so sweet :3 Alice "dumping" Ryo was funny, also sitting on her mother's lap cute. Ryo's sweet rage ^^ Souma's father so awesome! So all Souma needs now is a woman to cook for :D Wonder when Erina will finally acknowledge him, although it'd be great if he ends up with Ikumi too :o I like how all three kinda get along together at the end :D Stagiare arc sounds interesting, I wonder if there'll be enough time though, looking forward to it! |

| >Hmm, I wonder who's gonna win... >SUDDEN FLASHBACK >oh... couldn't make it anymore obvious. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| I just disliked the Flashback right before the winner was announced, if they would have done it reverse order I think it would have been better. Hayama winning was whatever, I feel Soma already knew there was better chefs then him and he'd come across them eventually. I just don't like this new arc they're about to go into with 3 episodes left. |

| Yukihira lost :( But man episode was good and funny |

Sokah said: So the dishes were equally good, but because Akira has limited himself to only being able to do a specific kind of cooking, he wins? For being the worst chef? Okay. I think it's because of the fact that Hayama has practiced his forte which is spice making for years to the point that no one can beat him in that regard, not even Souma. Hayama's cooking won because of the fact that he has created his own style of cooking different from everyone else around him, while Souma being a monster of his own simply gets by, by putting his own spin on things, but not has developed a style of cooking that he can truly call his own. |
 |
| Gotta love Ryo's reaction. Alice hitting him was also adorable. Everything Alice does is too adorable XD. Especially with that face. Anyway great episode. |
ShadowMonkey said: Crap, out of all 3 of them, it had to be my least favorite >:( I hope he cheated or something so Souma can win telmo_trooper said: So how did you guys like this episode of Shokugeki no Hayama? I can taste the salt in the air. This my friend is something called, character development, and is the author's way of showing us that Souma still has a long way go. Nothing wrong with that, if you can't accept this go back to watching Sword Art Online. |
|
| As expected Soma won't win. Damn Erina you are so useless. |
| Honestly 3 episodes for the Stagiaire arc is enough as they have had some episodes with 4 chapters worth of content. I think it should be enough! Anyway that Hayama backstory really helped as without it i would have been salty asf, i have already read the manga but the saltiness came back! |
 |
| Omg Hayama won ahhhhh😍 |

Keeps things fresh. |

Rayla said: Damn bruh I just got so roasted that my skin is darker than Hayama's...Here's the thing: This anime is, let's face it, probably not gonna get a season 3, so they're literally going hah u stupid hype person yes Souma just lost and the anime is over soon so you can drop the anime and buy my manga instead of watching this on a illegal streaming site pusi bich. And I don't have a problem with that. It happened with Asterisk (yes I liked that anime f u elitists) and OreGairu (one season 3 pls) and stuff like that and yeah that's a marketing move I get that but ending an anime on that is pretty annoying if you ask me...btw this freakin' episode discussion war is ridiculous XDShadowMonkey said: Crap, out of all 3 of them, it had to be my least favorite >:( I hope he cheated or something so Souma can win telmo_trooper said: So how did you guys like this episode of Shokugeki no Hayama?

| Soma was second, close but not close enough. So besides Erina only Hayama is better than Soma among the best. Speciality cooking. Whereas Kurokiba has seafood and Hayama has aroma, Soma doesn't really have a speciality. Time to find it. |
 |
| Interesting outcome, naturally obvious the moment they showed his past but the result was announced immediately after so it's k. It makes sense too, given that Hayama truly had the most self-defining dish and the guy literally was the one who had nothing until he started Jun & cooking and his sense of fragrance truly defined him & his cooking. |
| i thought soma is the one who acts like an arrogant dick from the beginning. recall the ep about his speech on the school opening ceremony. |
samrol_sotiefa said: Yeah, except that pretty much everyone remember this and pretty much everyone here already pointed this out. Besides, what a stupid reason. Everyone is aware of the Souma x Erina ship, but most non-manga-readers seem oblivious to the quote by Souma's dad. Also, what 'reason' are you referring to? The reason for Hayama being better than Souma? Then I agree, but it's not my idea, it's the anime's. |

| i didnt like the way that soma lost 2 times against akira |
  |
| The next arc would be nice, Megu~mi~ But i hope the arc where Tsukasa Eishi would be animated (hoping for Season 3) |
"Everyone fails sometimes But dreams won't fade, dreams won't fade Let's chase them as many times as it takes and don't lose Because today after all is today and once you wake up, it'll be a new morning" ~Aqours~ |
| Much as I wanted Souma to win, I'm actually glad that Hayama won instead. It's nice for him to not have too much plot armor. Though the flashback definitely gave away the fact that Hayama was going to win. I'm excited for the Stagiare Arc! |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| wow, this episode went in a flash. it honestly felt like 8 minutes or so! the post-credit scenes were the best ones. the themes were reinforced maybe a bit too much in this episode but it wasn't bad. Alice is still the best girl |
 |
| Ayt can someone help me here, whats the OST when Hayama won? when Souma was thinking about his loss? I NEED THAT OST! |
  |
| Its how you surprise ... Lot a guys thought Soma would win easily ... |
 |
| BOOOOOOOO! Fucking brown dude won....lol, I can't even... Should've been Ryo... |
| Yeh , some or many people may have taken Souma's soy milk as a hint to his victory , but Hayama's past was the obvious one. And his dish looked most delicious and most out of the ordinary. Alice's mother was so cool character during the finals :) Elections were wonderful competition and fun to watch , now onto Stagiaire and |
| Aaaahhhhh was waiting for the bare chest, I had the exact same reaction as the crowd did. My love for Hayama grows with every episode he appears in, and when his back story suddenly came up, I just felt myself getting more and more excited by the second, knew he was gonna win when that started, and as soon as it was announced, I just lost it, I lost it completely. I'm freaking happy. That was fantastic, and so quick, seriously, that went by so freaking fast. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Damn, those mixed feelings when your favorite character not named Souma wins. Happy for Akira, the moment the judges talked about signature dishes that represent the chef I couldn't help but think of his. Even though it's a bummer to see Souma lose, it looks like this is that critical moment for him to realize it's not just his dad he has to catch up with now. I also like the emphasis on Souma's hard work and how rather than having extreme talent or a natural gift, he just thinks things through and stays creative. Making excuses is easy but defying limits is what drives him. |
 |
| Even though I was sorry for Souma not to win, the decision about Hayama winning it, is a very good one. Therefore the anime can build up a (less Shounen-like) longer way to Soumas dream to become the best. Great final overall! 5/5 |
