Souma wants to conquer Erina - stimulating her God's Tongue; procuring her submission.
As the object of man's desire Erina is a hapless victim to her father's abuses.
Father Nakiri's toned edge reflects his honed male bushido.
RIPPED Patriarch Nakiri wants to give his granddaughter over to his friend's son, Souma.

As always, Shokugeki is a masterpiece in sexual exploitation.

Erina and her grandpa are gonna be lodging in the PSD I presume. I'm personally waiting for the gang to start trying plan about what to do about Erina's father when out of nowhere, Jouichiro shows up set to do something(I patiently await the moment Erina finds out about Soma's 'connection' to her idol).

Also I've never seen Erina as a final boss, he's aiming for the top of the acadamy, she's only the 10th seat.

Only being 10th is qualified because for Erina it wasn't about being first. She made that clear during the School Festival competition: her goal was to emulate Jouichirou, not compete against the other Elite 10.

This is not to say that Erina isn't extremely competitive (as Eggs Benedict shows), rather she didn't view the elite 10 as her enemies (except perhaps Kuga, who was the closest to Souma in his attitude towards food but that was dislike, not a rivalry). Her competition was against herself, not others. I had expected her father, who is extremely competitive (as being third as a Freshman showed) to get her to care about the rankings. That was what I mean by "unleashing" Erina.

The only person that fires Erina's competitive spirit is Souma, and the reason for that is because she views him, ironically as we know, as the opposite type of chef when compared to Jouichirou. If this is resolved soon, then the story actually ends, because both need to understand the other in order to advance as the chefs they want to be. That is the central theme of this series.


As well as your first post, I'm lazy to quote things so i decided to put it on my post instead. There have been too much lee-ways and openings for a final showdown a.k.a finale. A lot of things has pretty much landed on with all these 137 chapters. First of all setting up Erina as a final boss is quite a good strategy in terms of plot development but there's a lot of things to prolly point out that could be a possibility in the ending sequence of this manga. One of them is the thing you pointed out Erina being captured and unleashing her demon inside but with all that's happening at the moment, This manga could go everywhere as it pleases depending on how the author wants to go at it.

Possible things that might come up (aside from your preposition):
- Souma finally battling her father (since it's one of the mentioned goals of the protagonist) might be a final scene
- Possinly introduction of a much more overpowered character (with this, a drag is pretty much expected)


Pretty much anything can happen with this manga. It can go as predictable as it wants to get or it can go like as you were saying. (really depends on how the reception among the fans is doing)

Wonder if they'll have to pass a test to have a room. maybe Erina won't take the test and will stay in the same room with Soma. Yeah , I know , it's kinda impossible , but I have my hopes for certain future situation that can happen.

I had hoped for a long running series, and had thought that up until 2-3 chapters ago. I agree with all you said, but what has me worried is that the Erina route is going too fast. From the start the only reason Souma went to the school (as he said this chapter) was to make Erina admit his food is good. I had hoped that the father would unleash Erina's inner cooking demon's so that she could serve as a foil for Souma as they battled for control over the elite 10, but with Erina going to the PSD now the route to "saving Erina" has threatened to become extremely short.

Of course the writer is good enough to make an allied Erina Souma combo still interesting to read, so this could still go on for years, but the feeling I get with how quickly Erina lost her ego and is now being positioned close to Souma does make me think a conclusion could be coming. After all Erina has been built up as the final boss since the beginning of the show.

A couple of possibilities though, Erina getting close to Souma could cause Megumi to go to the dark side (as the writer hinted). She is the only one with the potential talent to beat both Souma and Erina (as the Grandfather once mentioned).

Or more likely, Souma blows this chance with Erina (again tries to dominate her instead of seducing her), and that is what sets her off in a way that no one could predict. I like this scenario because I like when petty, arrogant people (which includes the Father and the elite 10 who voted for him) suddenly realize that they opened a door they shouldn't have. Erina crushing her father and then her and Souma going all out to dominate the elite 10 (together with a reformed Kuga - who right now is the only person who hasn't tacitly accepted the coup d'etat) would be fun (and better long) to watch.

Anyway, hoping for another 3 years of this manga, just nervous about not getting this.


Nah, the grandfather only said she has a really good potential, that doesn't necessarily mean she can beat Soma & Erina.

I kinda like your scenario, but I'm a romance sucker.. I want to see dere Erina you know?

Also, I'm 100% sure we'll get to see dark Megumi during this arc. Just feel it, ya know?


Megumi falling into the dark side... What hints are you guys getting this from? I find it hard to believe at this current stage or even future chapters that such a thing will ever happen.
I still feel that Megumi has just admiration for Souma. There is no signs of anything romantic. I think Erina will fall for Souma first actually.

And I have to say, this chapter shows why Alice is best girl in the end haha

Alice store the chapter in my eyes, always been a huge fan of her :D Oh the top gangs staying in Souma's dorm, come one Souma...talk to Erina one on one :D I hope the manga actually set Souma's love relationship straight, I do not want another typical open ending where all the girls interested in Souma remain neutral.

He actually said "immeasurable", so that puts her in the top category with Souma and Erina. Also, in that his loin cloth stripped while he wasn't aware of it, something that Souma couldn't do, I would suggest that this means she has the potential to be better.

The author gave an interview that was posted somewhere in the Souma thread. He didn't say that she would go to the "dark side", but rather that Megumi would show a darker side. That she has one was hinted at with the Ramen battle when she stood toe to toe with Ryuu and slugged it out, this ties into the next point.

IndoExamurai said:

End of Chapter 61, after the daycare training, Megumi realizes that cooking requires her to hold someone in her heart, she then thinks back to the scene before she cut the Anko. The question is: who did she think of at that moment. The blush she has in the next panel says it all what she was thinking. This is what allowed her, formerly meek, to all of a sudden confront Ryuu.

Great thing about Japanese works, they are seldom explicit, they like hinting at things.

I have no idea whether Souma is doing it counciously or not, but making Erina say that his ''plebeian'' food is delicious would be the same as freeing her from Azami's ''teachings''.


Yep, this is what I was looking for. I couldn't find a way to word my thoughts on Souma's words, and here they are. THIS IS CORRECT PEOPLE.

On a side note, I love Erina and Megumi but ALICE IS SO WAIFU

Yea I also have no damn clue how he/she came up with a crazy conclusion like that, sounds like something a crazy shipper would say.

Pretty good chapter, the pacing seems to be going pretty fast in this chapter.

So, uhh, what happened to my food porn? That was kind of serious at parts...
I do feel bad for Erina. Quite an ass of a father.

Alice is best girl by far. Bwahahah...
One thing that's nice - That ship doesn't look like it's going anywhere. So I don't really have to get involved the Megumi vs Erina thing. Although it looks like Jochiro and Gramps are both looking at Erina :P.


Speaking of Gramps, I guess Soma's going to save Erina incidentally, on the way to his own goal. Heh. Or rather, a team effort between everyone. I guess that's why none of the other first-years have come off as real "bad guys".


Erina is almost certainly going to end up in Polar Star.


One thing I don't get is all the "Dark side Megumi" comments - Someone said the writer hinted at it so maybe I'm missing something there? But it seems kind of out of nowhere to me.
Mind you, I wouldn't mind seeing her go all yandere for Soma (The only way I could possibly see that happening). It would be very entertaining.

Aizen is wayy better than Azami. Azami is trash.

When Souma is hooded, he is totally B A D A S S.

The raining scene is not a waste. It will cause them to take a bath so Next chapter will expect a lot of fan service :d

Also Alice pantsu shot. Wooohhh
