nice! Souma won because of the Honey factor and not resorting to too much flavor resulting to extreme balance is the reason why Hayama lost!
But damn at the end part...almost all of the polar star was obliterated felt the same like Thanos wiped-out most of the heroes! lolz
Hmmmm haven't heard of Takumi & Megumi, I guess they are still holding-up...
5/5.

I love how there's an explanation on why the Nakiri family's clothes rip off LOL. This show is so over the top and it's great hahaha. I guess the endgame is when Souma does that to Erina ;D

Worried Erina running to Souma as soon as she finished her own exam was adorable!


But now everyone is expelled but Souma and Erina :(
Azami needs to go!

Souma was able to finally redeem himself, and hopefully Souma we'll be able to use "The Gift" in the future.
Erina in the scene after the ending appeared to be 'cute' with that blush and her desire for Souma to win.
Aside from the majority of the rebels getting expelled in the scene after the ending, what happened to Tadokoro and Takumi, I don't think the author nor J.C.Staff would forget an important detail such as this one. Could they have possibly won against Rindou, I mean it was 2v1. Also, I feel really bad for Akira, he had to play the role of the villain and he ended up being expelled, well on the bright side at least he'll be on the side of the rebels.

The low ratings and the top ratings, at this point I’m amazed at the story line, truly interesting. However, all that “But wait! There’s more!” overusing is becoming nauseous.. About to lose and boom, oh wait, now we winning... Over and over and over and over, reading the manga would perhaps spare me the rolling eyes e.e

Lmaoo "THE GIFT" segment was hilarious.

Probably my favourite episode so far, the pacing was actually pretty good. Real wholesome feels.

OK. Well, I was expecting Hayama to be expelled but not all the others... Wonder how Megumi will fare against Rindou??

The gift and explosion is awesome. :D

Also Erina is cute. :DD

Looks like Aldini and Tadoroko survived.

YOOOOOOO, they just expelled half the main cast and I aint even get to see it see it. How am I ever gonna watch Kurokiba's headband mood changes now lol. But does that mean that Aldini and Megumi both beat Rindo, the second seat?
Yeah I didn't see Megumi and Aldini.

I didn't like this episode. I'm not feeling it with this series right now. I'll watch the next ep soon and see what happens.

tbh I'm really losing the hype for this show. The chapter was ok for me, although a little boring in the sense that we all knew what was gonna happen. The massive expulsions were unexpected tho, so maybe there's something we can expect from that.

We'll see if the show picks up, although I don't really expect it to.
I agree, not an interesting episode other than the expulsions. So I'm curious to see what happens with that.

"The gift" lol and here I thought a bunch of student council members overthrowing the founder of their own school is the most ridiculous thing in this anime. It's ridiculous but it's fun. Anyway Soma's friends lost as expected so I'm guessing along the lines of Soma beating Azami in a shokugeki and bringing back the school to how it used to be.

I love that they have an in universe explanation for why the judges sometimes looses their clothes. I mean in the metaphores they almost always do, but usually no for real. It's such a funny thing to say 'no this is actually a cannon power of the Nakiri family that has specific rules.

Also, the insinuation that Yukihira is god was pretty great. I realise that he was saying finally because he finally defeated Hayama definitively. That said, sincehe said it right after he was compared to god in the imagery, it sounds like he was glad that someone fianlly accknowledged his godly powers of cooking.

Lastly, wow that was a dramatic ending. I realise that they are probably not going to remove so many characters from the show forever so abruptly, so I guess that they are coming back to Totsuki one way or another, but still. I'm surpriced that Kurokiba and Alice lost. They are supposed to be such formiddable opponents, though I guess it is to be expected that they would probably lose more ofteh than win against one of the seats. If Kurokiba had to do something similar to the bear challenge Souma had to do, I guess he'd be in trouble too. Well, I guess we'll find out in a few episodes' time. It's only going to get more intense from here on out.

Oh, about the episode in general: I liked it a lot. The rivalry between Yukihira and Hayama is well established. It's nice that even though they're peers, Yukihira really is the underdog in this fight, since he's lost the previous times. Usually if you as the viever see Yukihira as an underdog, he has to be cooking against someone with much more experience (like Shinomia) or someone who has twisted the rules in this favour (like Eizan) in order to win. While it was obvious that Yukihira would win since his loss would mean his expulsion it was still a thuroughly enjoyable watch. Also, the conclusions that Hayama lost something valuable without Jun and that Yukihira's main source of determination was to finally beat Hayama once and for all were satisfying.

Epic victory if you ask me, this episode was amazingly put in motion as it deceived the viewer thinking Soma had lost, yet moments later BAM holy hand grenade!

If this wasn't about cooking you'd expect this to be almost rated Rx! Really looking forwards to see what happens next to be honest and especially with such horrifying epilogue!

Wow I really thought that Soma might gonna loose. I know he's the protagonist, but I thought maybe they'd make a comeback somehow.
Also very surprised about Alice and Ryou..
The whole story behind the exploding clothes is just crazy haha

Why is there disgusting ochem in my anime? LOL xD

The Explosion VS The Gift
aka
Sendo VS Ippo

This anime's exaggeration and fanservice is killin' me ahhaha XD

I'm glad they were realistic with the expulsion :3 in the rebels group, there are certainly chefs who aren't really "elite" among them like Souma-kun is :( Unfortunately, it is reasonable for them to fail against the Elite 10.

Congrats to Souma for winning his match against Hayama. Looks like he is back to normal after his defeat.

Looks like pretty much everyone else got expelled.

That was a nice victory, Souma finally showed him who's boss. Seems like almost all the others lost though, not surprising going up against some of the elite ten. Guess Souma now has to really pull through.

I like the two girls ;) but everything beside all others being expelled was to be expected. It was obvious that the girls will vote differently. It was obvious that weaker characters will lose, but Kurokiba, Alice and Takumi should have won. The story became too one sided now... but whatever.. it was always obvious what will happen in the end this time it was just too rushed and one sided... it seems that Souma had the easiest challenge because he fought same year and a new member of elite 10.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

It's hard to believe all the other characters lost. We didn't even get to see some of their opponents :/ I guess like the op/ed imply this season is all about Erina, Yukihira, Megumi, and Takumi. Well at least there's still Megumi <3

And ofc Souma was going to pass cuz MC plot armor while the rest were crushed by the enemy. Can't wait for a stupid plot twist to reverse expulsions.

Damn, the heated rivalry between the two taking toll here. Really got to feel for Hayama here.

And, on the other hand, the rebels have nearly been decimated? Hayama expelled too? Boy, that's some dire pinch...

Hayama is one of my favorite characters, so I’m glad to see him not look as dead inside anymore when he was cooking. It seems like he, along with pretty much everyone else, are going to be expelled though... I wonder how the plot will move forward. We still haven’t seen what the other former Elite 10s who got kicked are doing, like the third seat and Isshiki, so I’m curious if the involvement of them will somehow overturn the expulsion or do something else at least.

A much, much improved episode from the previous one, that was fun to watch and felt satisfying seeing Soma finally defeat Hayama after the Autumn Election disappointment. Also, while I absolutely love the cliffhanger with seeing a lot of Soma and Erina's comrades get obliterated by the power of the Elite Ten, it also really sucks since that's pretty much the end for most of those characters and being genuinely relevant for the remainder of the series. Mostly all commentators now at best, and even people like Alice and Kurokiba got the boot. Rest in peace to a really good supporting cast that's now getting the Shippuden treatment.

He deserved that slap from Jun, Hayama finally knows his own place

Now we're getting more people at the Polar star, meaning more character build up, and memories.

Doujima's explanation for the explosion and gift had me creasing after so many seasons they finally properly acknowledge how Earth the professor undresses himself.

This was a beautiful cycle he lost for the same reason Souma lost to him. Jun smacking him out of love was wonderful.

The visuals of this episode went crazy. The girls were genuinely tweaking and orgasming which is insane usually it only happens in their minds.

I also enjoyed the imagery, the boxing match was elite and the ending pose of Souma and Akira holding hands.

OMD Erina really loves Souma now. SHE RAN all the way to him. Not caring about her appearance at all. When that's all she's cared about for the last 3 seasons. These characteristic changes are elite writing. Before should we say stuff like that's improper and it's not the correct way to act.

EVERYONE ELSE LOST. IDKY I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO WIN. I love how for Mauri it's been an ongoing theme to just show his glasses rather than him. Even in this serious situation.

We are also losing Akira. Everyone we know and love is gone just like that.

Excited for the next episode 5/5
