I didn't expect that we would actually start with the Blue right off the bat. Well, I'm still hyped for this tournament, they're my weak spot, even tho there are some weird faces among the participants.

Also wonder who else got an invitation, maybe we get to the some former E10.

Edit: There's still the possibility that we get to see the preparation for the Blue in form of flashbacks.

This is quickly becoming firery paper bag full of crap. It's basically the same thing, only with "more evil" characters, and an even more over the top pompous bastard in the "bookmaster". Ugh.

Yakitate Japan rejects.

Still no one noticed Erina gone.

This arc sure is garbo.

I thought we'd at least see some preparation for this tournament. Of course that can still be shown in flashbacks but suddenly jumping to the Blue caught me off guard.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

well the Noirs have interesting designs despite looking sort of out of place in this manga
I still think this arc has potential though, let's just see how it plays out

It's going a little too fast for my taste.

Obviously another time-skip,and as usual they will show us the power ups through flashback.
Furthermore, this chapter shows how much secondary characters no longer represent anything in this manga.
Perhaps in the forward gates there will be characters that we know like rindou, isshiki , eishi or Tootsuki alumnus,but I wouldnt be so surprised if it were not so.
Erina nowhere to be found(plot reason obviously).

Of course El hermano is back with his nice jokes.



EDIT:I notice that in page 3 Takumi has a case in his hand, Its that his MEZZALUNA?? If yes, when did he get it back? During the central arc? Because if he received it back offscreen I would take it very badly.

Agreed. I sense a potentially rushed final arc and abrupt ending. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Right off the bat huh? The entrance for this arc is a bit underwhelming to say the least. Lack of build up or events that might hype me up for Blue maybe? Dunno

Anyways, let's see how things will pan out this time

Quick jump to the tournament itself. Maybe while the tournament is happening, there might be scenes where they go back to past to tell about the training of souma and the others.

lol i don't know what's more funny th3 bunch of chef noir who looks likes a bunch of criminal, asahi being seeded 3rd stage in the blue,Erina nowhere to be found for now, megumi and takumi participating why what about th3 higher seated e10 or the fact that soma has to star from the bottom despite him being a 1st seat. he should seeded in 2nd stage not the first, that first sweat title is worthless.

I feel like the mangaka's trying to get through this arc as fast as possible; he probably knows how much Asahi has upset all the fans (if only through weekly rankings). Guy's been doing everything in his power to keep our Asahi exposure to a minimum, as well as trying to recapture the moments and sensations that people love the most about the series, so he can make it through to either the finale or a better story arc than this one.

Quite the venue for the competition. Man those noirs really look less than cooks but more like a group of mercs. But to think that Asahi gets a free pass until the third gate though. Guess his skills really are held in high regard by the WGO. But looking forward to seeing how this arc proceeds though.

I really don't like where this is going.. With all of this sudden rush in the story, i just lost the hype for Blue to be honest, they just threw Blue out of nowhere into the plot and in a pretty underwhelming context. Using a tournament like Blue as a simple stepping stone for Souma to get revenge on Asahi because he stole Erina for himself and wants to marry her? A nobody who just came into the story just recently is pulling all of the strings now and even beat Souma's father in a matter of just 1 single page in the manga? They could've just used the usual pacing and possibly develop Asahi's character in a slow and steady way, not like a bolt of lightning, since he is like the most important "villain" in action right now. Where will i find the thrill in all of this now? As an absolute fan of SNS i think that i just felt the need to criticize the manga's direction a bit.. I wonder what happened to the author, did he lose his ambitions for continuing this?

The formula is running long now, and these 'villains' are silly.
