Mimasaka using his imitation on Soma was hilarious and creepy at the same time. I feel bad for the girls who showed up at the diner thinking Soma came back, one to see a massive creepy dude acting all weird.

Also im starting to notice is that Soumas main weapon against anyone is his 10 years experience at his fathers restaurant and every other student he faces have little to no experience at restaurants i mean this kids are from family's that owns huge well known restaurant and it just happens that annoying cocky ass Souma is the only one with experience


That exactly the source of his fruit.
Real life experience always shaped someone better than book and pen.
Also despite has read this manga this episode remind me again how terrific Megumi skill in term to "serve customers".


My it annoys me that most if not all of Soumas enemy dosent have little to no experience yet these student students are sons and daughters of restaurant owning family so they to should have experience in the kitchen if they didnt then they wouldnt be at Totsuki Academy

There's a big difference in the type of restaurant. As shown in the beginning, people looked down on Soma for being from a diner, a comparatively low-tier restaurant where he was actively engaged in customer service and cooking and interacting with customers. In contrast, people from prestigious and wealthy families with high-establishment restaurants generally aren't part of the staff. They may be personally trained by hired elite tutors, and excel at an academic level regarding cooking knowledge, but that's different than having that much real-life experience working daily with customers.

This was an amazing payoff episode! It was also so nice to see Alice's booth doing well in the end. I'm quite impressed by the new VA for Erina, I actually didn't notice the change.

It's such a shame the animation is horribly spotty. The constantly reused scenes are especially jarring. This manga deserves a higher quality adaptation. I can't imagine putting away money for BD release even if I win the lottery.

I have to say that I loved the fact that a team came together in the end but if this were R/l which I know it is not. The Don booth was on the verge of getting the first spot for that same day or at least be in the top 5. then you have the Aldini brother who won the first day not sure how they did with the rest of the days but to have them show up as well. I seems a little like over the top for having help.

Not that it did not make me feel great and have and really love the episode.

It's such a nice feeling when a teamwork gets increased and everyone helps <3

Seeing Kuga getting defeated by Souma was very well deserved for being such a jackass to a fellow competitor! :/ Nobody should make fun of anyone! He looked very pissed off just for being second place XD

Best episode of the season so far in my opinion. The characters all tied together, and the 2nd half especially has got me genuinely caring about this anime again.

Aside from obvious positive comments, it is weird that the Aldinis wanted to help Yukihira. I know there's that rivalry, but they have their own stall to think about. Also that 3D printer thing is awesome but chocolate on a curry dish sounds HORRIBLE. Never tried it though!

Let's hope that white-haired guy and red-haired girl from the elite come into more relevence when Kuga inevitably looses his way (not sure if Souma will get his seat though).

I really don't like this Kuga guy because he has so many workers that nothing his stall produces seems impressive.

I tried waiting for all the episodes to come out in order to binge watch them all but i just could not resist!!

this episode was so legit so heartwarming and just made me squeal all episode long with a big fat smile on my face
i love how Nikumi, Mimasaka and the Aldini's came to help out of their bonds with souma and they just made the best team without even practicing
speaking of team, i'm so happy alice, ryou and hayama at the end finally came up with something to prove themselves (not that they need to) but that chocolate garnish on top of the curry absolutely just screamed out their respective cooking styles, glad it worked so well together

this episode just made my day:)

Hmm, I feel like the more I watch this show the less interested I am in Souma's plot. IMO it was kind of lame how people came in to help Souma, like I get Subaru since he isn't participating, but even though I love Takumi and Nikumi as characters, it'd be better for me if they didn't help him. Since IDK, the "restaurant" thing is kind of cheesy but the point of it is for him to beat Kuga and not everyone else ... >_< I also don't see how they could have beat Kuga in sales since they have a smaller area AND for sure a slower production rate compared to him, and also they didn't get that many customers until midway through the day. Just too unrealistic to me ... I guess this is the point where it becomes too much shounen for me lol XD Apart from that, I love to see the Alice trio (Ryou looks so different! O_O) and Erina as well. 3D printing food?! Sign me up! :D

4 episodes just to see the obvious: Yukihira winning his rival with the rival speciality (and making it better). As most of times, so its not sorprise.


I'm starting to not like his character. To me he's exactly like Mimasaka the copy cat. He only n cooks what others cooks. I've never seen him make up something to cook on his own.

Great episode. Even though the animation is kinda... absent? (except for that horrible CGI with the chefs in the Chinese restaurant), the characters are still so much fun to watch that I don't really mind. A bit more fanservice would fit an ecchi scene like this one though.

I feel there was no preparation here....Souma is winning this time but it could be less rushed? The only thing important that happened was that more people got together to help him. Quite unrealistic that Kuga is losing when he has more people working.

Souma getting the ball rolling with his newest dish and having it go faster and faster to the point of winning over Kuga's unbeatable Sechuan Empire thanks to him and his friends helping him out was such a satisfying and wonderful thing to watch! Everyone working as a team gave me chills since this was the culmination of all their experiences in Totsuki so far~

It's also nice to see that Alice and friends were able to turn things around for them too.

The way Ikumi, Takumi and Isami left their own stalls as well as Subaru went to help Soma and Megumi out mid-service when the crowd was really lining up was quite cheesy yet quite awesome to watch in its own way. Really fun episode and satisfying seeing Soma adapt and grow throughout the past couple days to unleash hell on Kuga and take a victory over him for a day at least. Very fun stuff and it shows how important having friends and reliable acquaintances can be, since thanks to the comrades he made, the societies and even people from Soma's old place helping him out in different assets from the actual cooking to just tangible resources outside the kitchen like seats and lanterns to build a proper little pop-up restaurant with that Taiwanese street feel to it. Loved all of that.

This arc and season so far has been more enjoyable than the previous one despite the lackluster visuals, so far at least. I do know that some shit's arriving soon that helped spoil the series in the long run so that's something to be aware of, but at least the beginning portion has been a lot of fun to watch.

Objectively terrible episode
This episode (and arc) was so terrible that I felt the need to post about it. 

Animation was terrible, the recipe was dull, the 'sneak attack' was awful. 

It's stupid from every possible angle, from logistics to practicality. This is unlike all other episodes, this episode is literally magic.
Souma has literally become magic at this point, not even about making good food; about literally being able to make enough food.
