nikki-chan92 said: This episode in particular I hate how they randomly show central losing to the dorms with no build up, no tension, nothing its just a easy win and weak lead in for season 4. I really hope they fix the pacing issues in the next season. Well it was exactly like this in the Manga. Why would they show Megumis or Nikumis full shokugeki against some random central guys? Those nobodys were just cannon fodder for the purpose of showing that some people can still defend themselves against central. They've already shown Ryos Shokugeki, that was more than enough to show who they are up against. No one wants to see more of those. But yea, this season was kind of rushed sometimes, allthough it wasn't always in a negative way. The Manga was kinda slow at some points in this arc, so the anime did pretty well in speeding it up sometimes. |
 When you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee, that's a moray! |
| For one thing, I'm glad that they used the big reveal to end this season on a cliffhanger and the good thing is that we only have to wait until April to resume the second cour. =) Although Soma's dish was truly impressive and delicious looking, Tsukasa's dish was in a completely different level. Although Tsukasa's U-turn to having Soma join Central might've been a bit of a downer, in a sense, he made the right choice, as he explained to Soma and the others about his decision. =) As for Megumi and Ikumi's victories against Central, as explained already, the manga only showed their victory panels and that's pretty much it. The anime followed it with a few extra dialogue, but nothing else that was noteworthy. The whole scene with Azami at the Polar dorm was done nicely, as was Erina finally finding out that Soma's dad is Joichiro. Now I want to see how J.C Staff adapts the next main arc, as well as the few build-up chapters beforehand. All in all, season 3 was, for me, as good as season 2. Pacing was mostly the same and the animation quality was the same as well, with the odd inconsistencies here and there. 9/10. |
| And so the last episode is finally here. Despite the stakes its important that Erina and the others taste the dishes throughly to determine who wins here. Its their role and responsibilities as a chef after all. Hmm using coffee in a dish involving wild game and chestnuts sure was interesting. So Eishi won after all then. Well at least Souma didn't join central. Still its nice to see that Souma's victory protecting the dorm inspired both Megumi and Nikumi to score victories against Central. So Azami was a former alumini of the dorm huh. Hmm nice ending that set it up for the next arc which is the promotional arc. Nice to see that Erina now knows who Souma's dad is. |

| It's been expected that Souma would lose Eishi. There's no way he could beat the First Seat on his current level. At least, he doesn't end up joining Central. Ah, finally I've been waiting for that big scene to be animated. Erina eventually finds out that her idol is the father of Souma when the latter just casually told Azami about his relations to Jouichirou. Overall, I still enjoyed this first cour of season 3 despite rushing past a few scenes and rearranging the big reveal. Looking forward to see the second cour on April 2018. |

| Would be an 8 but the last few eps take it down to 7 |
| Well, IMO, this season was much better than the 2nd one, which I had to force myself not to sleep while watching. So I really liked the addition of an actual plot change in the plot in this season. Regarding this episode: Erina's reaction at the end was a bit underwhelming, I was hoping she would get visibly mindblown, let's hope she's got some questions for Souma at S04E01 |

Blackbird said: Well it was likely plan to have 3rd season end before christmas and new year. Autumn 2018 seem like a good date to spot it on, manga also need to catch up so we can get a fully season. Ah it kind of remind me about this scene in manga, kind of lacking but still decent. :P Season 4/3 Part 2 has been confirmed to Spring 2018, and probably will feature 12 episodes only. |

| I was disappointed that Erina didn't have her reaction after she found out about Souma Father. Manga version: |
LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| The current students center around Soma, while the alumnis centered around Joichiro. Must wait for 3 months to continue that a bit-liked cliffhanger |
 |
| I loved this episode, the reveal was well done in my opinion. This episode itself i'd give 8/10 i think. Overall, this season is easily the weakest one. I'll give it a 7. Season 1 and 2 both got an 8 from me, though 1 was better than 2, but heh, there's no decimals on MAL and i didn't wanna give S2 a 7, so it got a 8. So yeah, 7/10 for this season. Season 4 should go back to 8 based on the manga. |

| Omg, that ending! Can't end it any better way than this, to make people even more hyped for the next cour. Enjoyed this season as much as the previous ones. 8/10. |
  |
| Heart broken. When the end music started playing I got so sad. I thought "this kinda feels like a finale, wtf" and it was :'( I thought this was a 24 episode season so the ending completely caught me off guard and really saddened me :( Episode itself felt rushed but I understand why. Overall another great season :) |

| LOL ayyyyyyyyyy she found out finally ,i dunno when this season first started i felt like something was missing for a while and then it got more into the classic souma i've come to love but this arc has taken this show down a little not the biggest fan of it right now regardless i still liked this season just not nearly as much as 1 ,2 while i think the complaints about the quality of the show being shit are a little over blown ,i can agree it did look bad at times but still managed to look good most of the season most of the blame lies with J.C doing 3 shows this season and Kujira getting most of the love. 7.5/10 i'll be ready for spring this time. |

| Great episode again. Didn't expect Souma to beat Tsukasa anyway but he whipped up a great dish, he might have won the competition when it comes to creativity but couldn't match Tsukasa in pure taste. It's nice that he recognizes the difference in skill between Tsukasa and him and aims to do better. Looks like Megumi and Nikumi won their respective Shokugeki's to save their clubs. :) So this is the infamous Soums Dad reveal, I find it interesting that Azami's current motives have some sort of connection to Souma's Dad. Overall, another great Shokugeki season. I'll say the first part of the season was definitely the stronger especially the episode with everyone helping Souma beat Kuma. That was easily one of the best Shokugeki episodes of all time. The second half of the season was still good and I'm looking forward to more next Spring which is already looking lit. 9/10 |
 |
| The ending is more tense than the fight between Soma and Eishi lol Finally Erina know the truth and I think it'll make a great development for the story in the future~ A really enjoyable show even though most part are pretty predictable imo~ |
 |
| Not surprised that Souma lost. I can definitely understand why Tsukasa wouldn’t want Souma to work with him lol Dat ending! Erina finally learns the truth. I’m looking forward to season 4. |
 |
| Kudos to everyone who said that Erina and them will judge the battle 😂😂, so bait it was gonna happen. For me, a whole season went waiting for them to reveal soumas father to Erina... And it has to be the episode they close on. It was clear that souma was gonna lose. I swear to god, anime in general creates characters driven by their personal sense of morals and justice (madara's struggles etc.); in this case, nakiri Azami to salvage the ruined saiba joichiro [really, ?]. Yh, I like nakiri Azami -whereas, in his initial introduction I thought he needs to go die 😅 2018 could not come sooner |
 |
| Oof... I couldn’t decide who was gonna win last episode! White Hair boi won ... I knew Souma wasn’t going to join central somehow! Sorta sad that they didn’t show the other two matches more fleshed out :/ NOW I HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE SPRING SEASON FOR MORE EPISODE AHHHH Damn Erina was SHOOOOOKKKK at the end |

| As expected, since the story now is so full of shit, it was finally okay for Yukihira to lose in that unofficial shokugeki. At least Erina was fair enough to say Eishi's dish was better. The other two bitches hesitated because Yukihira is their friend. If he won that match, I'd just forget the whole series. The way he addressed Azami as Nakamura senpai was also terribly rude. I'd slap his f*ckface if I were Azami. Megumi, Nikumi, and Shinpachi's shokugekis were skipped like they're NPCs. Great. Season 3 sucks so hard that even Ousama Game seems more enjoyable. |

| The reveal sucked, comparing to the manga. It's rushed, didn't receive any proper reaction from characters, and just left people hanging halfway through. |
| I figured Soma would lose, I also figured Eishi would let him go. I still can't understand why he would join Azami's side, but maybe his mercy shows that he's not entirely onboard with him after all. Finally got to see some Nikumi action despite it only being stills panning to the left. We need more of her. Did not see that reveal coming. I knew it would eventually come, but I never thought I would see it animated. So glad the cat's out of the bag. Will Erina get even wetter for Soma? Can't wait to see her reaction next season. This season was an absolute joy, a big step up from season 2. Lots of development for characters and the plot moved forward in a really big way. Also the battles were terrific. This definitely brought back the quality we got from the first season. Can't wait for part 2! 9/10 |
| nice, Erina finally found out the truth about Soma being Saiba's son it was a pretty nice season finale, and I'm glad Food Wars will be back early next year |
| Well, I would say this ep. had a perfect cliffhanger. And I had feeling and hope we our much more Erina will finally find out that Souma is Saba son. For me, this season was the weakest. Somehow I couldn't enjoyed it fully. The plots sometimes was cheap for me. Also the animation was - compared to previous seasons poor. The only thing that I really enjoyed in this season was Rindou-senpai. For me she is probably the best girl in shokugeki. And I would ship her with Souma,/end with Souma. But we already know that if Souma will end with some girl it will be Erina - because she is FMC. To be honest I don't like her very much. In conclusion this season wasn’t really bad, but could be much more better. I am wondering between the scores of 6 or 7 - In time like that I really want MAL to have half scores. Oh well for that cliffhanger and Rindou I will give it: 7/10 |
| SO THEY PUT THE REVEALING AS A CLIFFHANGER. finally, the scene I've been looking for. still, the delivering in manga are more superior. can't wait for 2nd cour in april. I think they're going to the rooftop scene or train scene as an ending for next season since key visual show Souma in the snow. |
| I'm so..... HAPPYYYY!! Even though we all knew Erina was gonna learn this since the first season..... but still..... it was so fulfiling to see it finally happen!! |
 We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Woah did not expect the ending. I thought the ED song was more like a transitional to the 2nd half of the season since I expected 24 eps but next thing i know the show ended. Tsukasa's dish was so vivid in color, Soma's looked good as well. But that reveal at the end, if only they had spent a bit more on that tbh. Overall I liked this season so an 8/10. |
 |
| What a way to end the season. I was a bit mad when they omit it after Eizen fight but this timing work well with the anime though i wanted to see Erina being tormented by the revelation xD |
| Yup, I could say about this final episode... It's particularly pretty much the "same" way Souma battle, lose, and the cause against Shinomiya in the previous episode. But different things comes after that. |

| Damn, the Soma x Erina is very strong. I hope Hisako confess to Soma already, lol. Great season as always. |
 |
| And i thought that we would have 24 episodes straight, at least we will have to wait 5 months, which is not bad at all. It was quite obvious that Souma would lose, but still, it was an entertaining battle xD You simply can't end a season like this and tell us to wait until April... So many revelations, but it was probably the best way to end the season. Erina now knows that Jouichirou is the father of Souma, the face she made when she found out xD Will be interesting to see how she will change after knowing this information. Also a very interesting reaction from Erina's father. Another great season and can't wait for the next one, because it promises a lot! For me, this is one of those animes that should just keep going until it ends xD Even though that this ending felt kinda unexpected and fast, i still enjoyed it. 9-10/10 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| If nothing else, at least the reveal was made great. I agree that this was the weakes Food Wars season |
 |
| Well that was predictable, when Souma served his dish first its obvious he'll lose and it's really too early, if he'd beat him now that would be a plot armor S1 > S3 > S2 9/10 |
| For those complaining about the omitted reaction from Erina, they might be reserving it for the next cour's episode 1, actually. It would lead in well to the third Egg-themed dish scene. Overall, the season was a disappointing adaptation. The School Festival arc was adapted poorly because of pacing (too fast), just like the Autumn Election Finals arc. Soma vs Kuga was far more intense in the manga, and made Rindou's commentary about the "two sore losers" really memorable. Hayama and Alice's bickering about their stand was also much funnier, but I think the anime-watchers hardly remember it without mention. The Central arc was definitely lame even in the manga, but I think they adapted the key Shokugekis fairly well, although I personally did not like Soma vs Eizan's match that much because of how they just skimmed through their cooking and focused on Soma's burns and Eizan's reaction to them instead. |

| Yooooo what on earth was with that JoJo-style ending???!! I honestly feel as if the decision to split the cour into 2 parts was rushed; this episode and the last was quite strangely paced. |
  ~ |
| The wait was so worth it! |
 |
| that azami's face was still creepy even in anime |
| Great Episode.. ending was awesome. Erina finally knows the truth. Never thought that azami admired yukihira's father. I'm dying for second half. |
