Stripped! Well Souma's dish is great but it will take more than that to win.

On the other hand, his way of motivating Erina is noticable. If Erina can deliver with everything she's got, maybe they'll have a chance to win.

Meat, huh? Is that really an appetizer?

And yeah, we got another "Blessing".

Shokugeki between Souma and Erina? Interesting.

Wow...just wow. I know this will be a plot device to improve Erina's cooking skills or something like that but still, Souma was pretty much a fucking retard this time. If it wasn't set in stone that the "good guys" are going to win (this is a shounen manga after all) he would've fucked it all up by pulling this bullshit, and in all honesty I would LOVE to see that. EVERYONE getting expelled just because Souma decided it would be a good idea to be a complete fucking retard in the middle of a super important match.

If I have to bet on something I would say that Erina will make a dish taking advantage of the characteristics of Souma's plate, similar to how Aldini defeated Etsuya. After all, she knows exactly what ingredients he used and how he did it.

I still think it would be more interesting if the "bad guys" win and Azami "recognizes" the potential of the rebels, giving them the opportunity to annex them to their side. I don't know, I would like to see him and his ideology being destroyed from within, using his own tools and teachings.

Souma : Ok, i wanted to make this, hence i made it.
Erina : Whhyyyyyyy??!?!?!?!
Souma : *what is a good reason to tell as an execuse?"
*chapter 258 came out*

Highly probably, Erina will deliver a dish that compliment and taking advantage of souma's at the same time --> we a get a winner. Yeaaay/Booooo

Now, i really want to ask this.....but what actually is specialty? I read a few chapters that talk about specialty, it's said basically it's a dish that represent the chef's face/personality/self.
Now, i really think that Souma's dish in the final autumn selection is more of a specalty than this meaty+bone dish. I didn't get any Souma-ish feel in that dish. In the final autumn dish, however, the feel of cheapness+dish for the mass still can be felt clearly (or at least to me) - and that's what souma's dish all about, right? Evolving some cheap dish into a jewel.

I was speechless at his appetizer. It's not an appetizer, no matter how you look at it.

But I really like that his rival with Erina is picked up again. One of the main aspects I like about Shokugeki no Soma is Souma's rivalry with Erina who also doubles as his future love interest. Having him duel both of his strongest rivals at once is something that the manga does well. Erina has no choice but to prove that she's Tootsuki's supreme student. After all, the first chapter ended with Jouichirou claiming that to become a true chef, a chef has to make a dish that the woman he cooks for would call "delicious". Erina is going to be his final goal, and before she can admit her defeat, she has to beat Souma here first.

Basically, it's a win for Souma against Tsukasa since it's a tag duel, but it will be a loss against Erina who would become his ultimate rival in the future (as long as no other genius comes for the next two school years that could rival both of them).

Well Souma definitely has balls pulling this risky shit in the middle of a match that could get him and all his friends expelled. Deciding to have a Shokugeki against your partner in the middle of a bigger Shokugeki? Shokugeki-ception.....

Anyway, we all know Souma's team will win, so this development will probably be used to boost Erina's cooking abilities so they can achieve that goal.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Going against Central isn't enough, he also wants to compete with Erina. Well,wonder how this ends up.

How OP is Erina ? she will probably beat all 3 after all the hype about the "God Tongue" that guides all chefs in this chapter and even in Tsukasa's flashback, it even pretty much created Soma's """appetizer""".

People are saying Souma is messing things up and risking his friends getting expelled with what he pulled this chapter, but do you really expect Erina and Souma right now could defeat 1st + 2nd seat if they went as planned? Souma realizes that they couldn't win with what they had originally prepared, so he decided to take a "risk" that might bring them victory.

who knows i don't think souma did that as a mistake i mean the appetizer i think it was his plan all along i think he did it to prove that erina is a chef with excellent skills to azami by declaring shokugeki to erina
but that's just my thought

Lol, a Shokugeki within a Shokugeki.

Souma's appetizer either equaled if not surpassed Tsukasa's? Amazing!

Now Souma challenges Erina to beat his. Souma is like telling Erina to '' forget dem appetizer, main dish etc! Beat my dish with yours!''

I understand what you're doing Souma but you're supposed to be cooking an appetizer that'll further enhance the main dish. Challenging Erina like that, it's like you're telling her to make an 'individual' dish.

still dont get why you all hate this development anyways , makes perfect sense scaling wise
no matter how op souma is, dis is really the only way it could happen fighting against the strongest chef(excluding adults) in totsuki,

only real way to win is to just not win and instead, leave it up to someone whom we never seen their true potential b4

It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime.

I don't hate it, have mixed feelings since it depends on further execution. If it's just a plot device to create a perfect dish for Erina aka a random powerup in the middle of a shokugeki, meh. Otherwise if it's including the synergy factor somehow too thus elevating the dish then maybe it's alright.

The way souma burns erina's spirit sounds true and might be wise. Souma even said that Erina's main dish that had been shown the nigth before wouldnt be able to win, which's why souma tried to take more advanced step.

But somehow, i got the feeling that souma was being egoistic, and rather than suggesting to overcome the situation together, souma sounded like ordering erina to play in his own game. Disregarding teamwork and irresponsibily put the hardest work in erina's shoulder, more than it should. It's like a kusaya covered in chocholate.

Maybe i felt that way because souma cooked his dish first then explained it to erina later, instead of doing it in reverse order - which make souma's action/words can be felt as an excuse for his egoistic deed. In the end, one character might say "it can't be helped. That is the only way"......yeah......

In this situation, nothing logical will work. They are facing the #1 and #2. Any "normal" methods will make them lose. I prefer Yukihira being a "fuckin retard" because they have to take any kind of gambles if they want to beat the 2 strongest chefs. Yukihira isn't choosing the mediocre way of beating them, because it's just not going to work. They have to take a high-risk, high reward method if they want any chance of beating those two. I support what Yukihira did. Either way, the two and their friends are in a near lose-lose situation.

No he's telling her that they have to gamble everything and take things to the extreme, because that's the only way for them to even have a chance of beating the top-2 chefs of the academy. At least that's how I took it.

The way I see it, Souma might actually be admitting that Erina is the superior cook hence why he decided to be reckless by putting that kind of trust on her. If it was anyone else, I doubt he'd pull this reckless move.

I can't believe people are eating this bullshit up. No only, did Soma ruin their entire chance of logically winning (even though the chances were very slim in the first place), now we're supposed to believe Erina's got the ability to beat not only PLOT ARMOUR Soma, but ALSO Rindou and Tsukasa? Utter BS.

Garbage chapter, as per usual this arc.

1/10. Move onto next arc, PLEASE.

Hmm that was one hell of a appetiser that Soma created. Though it looks like the members of the e10 who fought soma disagree with Azami's accessment. But Soma's challenge to Erina was a surprise.

If there's anything we know about Souma, he has a huge ego. We found that out the day he announced that he was going to use all the 1st years as his stepping stone. LOL. So yeah, I can't say that you're wrong there either.
