| Is no one going to talk about that almost incest marriage of half siblings lol? Or the fact there was for a time sexual attraction between the two siblings (at least in the manga) he wooed her for a time and it affected her, she blushed and such. Liiiike how is that not awkward for them? Also are we just going to accept there was no backlash from the wife or erina for him cheating?? |

| A dish a world has never seen, well that quite literally description for Erina's dish, while we get to see Souma's improved dish that took inspiration from Erina's previous dishes, we never get to see Erina's own dish. The dish that actually won BLUE number 1 spot. Souma might be quite pissed at not getting the first spot but looking at the bright side, he straight up criticized Erina's stock as pretty boring straight to her face. That was priceless! I assume Erina's dish only came out on top by an inch since Souma's own already ultimate dish brought about a new form of shifting from Mana and Erina, surpassing the already divine gifting, the whole castle literally and magically shredded its own walls for fuck sake, if that isn't the ultimate foodgasm, then I don't know what is. Classic Souma move to ditch the party before everyone else, he took a 6 months tour around the world to then come home back to his Diner where we get to see many of the characters he's met in his diner, finally, they get to taste the Yukihira diner's dishes. And the last scene showing them all at the diner is enough to put a smile on my face. It's funny how Asahi first tried to marry Erina but now he's adopted to be Erina; older brother B R U H Well, at least the Nakiri family had their long-due family bonding moments. The simple act of eating together as a family! Speaking of Erina, sure, with Souma having no romantic interest to anybody in the show, a romantic relationship may not be established, but here we see Erina herself confessing how her heart longed for Souma and his dish. Aight Souma x Erina is canon Unless Souma is a potato, as a human, this is bound to get somewhere more intimate. Well, anyways that's the end of the series! I never really expect this series finale to come out on top of many of the previous seasons, especially the powerhouse that is the first 3 seasons which are the best and most well-adapted one IMO. Still, it's a fairly decent ending to the series although, while I was disappointed that we don't get to see Souma being shown to be famous outside Totsuki as the first seat of the Elite 10 and the one who got 2nd pace at BLUE, we do see him finally taking the rein as the new owner of Tukihira diner. After all he beat the chef that beat his father, he's on a league of his own now with a dream to make Erina say that his dish is delicious. (which should be when they go out on a date fingers crossed) |

| I don't know why most seem to dislike this last season. Sure it was rushed but overall it's still the same enjoyable Food Wars we all came to love. It's been a long journey and I waited and waited up to this day when decided to finish Food Wars. Hearing the first opening again really hit hard tbh when Souma returned after his training. I'm also glad they all visited Souma's diner, that appetizer was a hilarious dish to end on though. But tbh this has to go down as one of my all time favorites. All that's missing now is an OVA showing how everyone's doing in the future. |

| It felt bittersweet seeing the show be done and have everyone meet at Yukihira Diner after Soma was gone for 6 months to train across the world after his loss to Erina in BLUE, even after the dramatic drop in quality from great to horrendous. Sadly even this episode was not that good despite the okay conclusion due to the Noir subplot being an absolute mess. This season overall was the worst season and despite a couple of good moments, was even more of a travesty than the previous one due to the Noir subplot, Asahi's character being abysmal and the matches at times being way too ridiculous and rushed that it felt difficult to comprehend what kind of show this really was. What a shame. 1.3/10 for this final season. |
| Utter rubbish and disappointment. Because the previous seasons were really good and soo enjoyable, the disappointment of this season was exacerbated ten folds. The only saving grace this season had was the closing of loose plot ends and a conclusion epilogue. |

| People seem to think that the either this is still good or this season is drastically worse than some of the previous ones. Reality is Shokugeki no Souma has been slipping slowly season after season. A tasteful cooking and food porn show with comically orgasmic reactions to the food slowly tried to one-up itself over and over, till we ended up with a final season stripped bare of the charm and left with just the over-the-top spectacle of gimmicky cooking methods and orgasms. Even worse with a pacing of a machinegun that's spitting out competition results like a fast-food chain, rather than showing any care for any of the characters cooking anymore. |

drdelemental said: ya man i feel the same so far i mostly the anime i watched had bad ending and rushed, what's wrong with the mangaka's in the end lol 😁😢😢The series was fun to watch. I do have to say I am very disappointed with the ending. I was expected her to say delicious or a timeskip where they are married. I saw the ending of the manga too and it is worse. I don't know why a lot of anime have disappointing endings. For this season, 7/10. It felt rushed and the ending was not satisfying. |
| Kind of a weak ending with Soma actually losing against Erina... after making the most delicious meal of all times apparently. Not a fan of that conclusion. But I was not a fan of this season in general, unfortunately every new season got gradually worse. Kinda glad it ended now, 6/10. |
| It should've been title Shokuegeki no Erina LMAO Was hoping to see Souma and Erina weddings or the author should've just given us the "It's Delicious" comment from Erina moment with Souma. Feels bad seeing your ship sunked after waiting all those years. AHHRRGGG |
wildhood said: Well, after 86 episodes, it finally comes to an end. Shokugeki no Souma actually managed to get a complete adaptation. I liked all of the other seasons, but this season was a shitshow.. But it's still cool that this anime adapted all 36 volumes of the manga from beginning to end. And I do enjoy gourmet anime in general. So Souma (the protagonist) lost to Erina in the end, huh? And apparently they get married in the manga, but the anime didn't show that, which I'm glad it didn't because it's not a romance anime and I don't want to see that shit. Maybe they want to milk the story further? The ending makes me think like there's still an untold story arc. All that buildup with all the characters, only to have everyone part ways in the end. Of course not every story has to have the perfect ending, but this just feels incomplete to me. |
| gotta say i'm gonna miss megumi and alice thats one thing for sure. |
 |
| Nice, great ending. Not sure I’d call a variation of eggs benedict a “dish the world has never seen” XD Definitely surprised Erina won lol. She would have 100% lost to Saiba in the finals Cool twist about Saiba and Izami I deffs ship Erina and Soma <3 Wholesome show I enjoyed it. I give this season 7/10 |
 |
| I cannot express how disappointing the entire anime was, and this season was the worst bite of a bad cake. Thankfully it is over, and I curse my OCD flair that nags at me to finish anime/books that I start. |
| This ending is bittersweet for me. I truly enjoyed the journey up to this point. However, I must say, the way they rushed this season was surprising. The pacing has been steadily increasing each season, but this one felt particularly rushed. We never got to hear Erina say his dish was delicious, but at least we saw her admit to herself that she loves him, which was great. Still, I feel like they didn't wrap up each individual storyline well enough. Why did Souma mimic his dad by disappearing without telling anyone? The abruptness of it all was frustrating. Instead of seeing Erina win, we got a flashback. We never saw the ultimate dish she created to beat Souma's tempura bowl. And where did the twist about Azami being her half-brother come from? That felt random, though it would explain his superpowers, since only the Nakiri bloodline has them. Erina did get her wish of hearing her mom say she looked forward to her cooking, but now we'll never know who Souma ends up with—Megumi, Nikumi, or Erina. Do Alice and Ryou end up together? So much is left unanswered. I wanted to see Souma take over the diner, but we won't get to see that. I wish they could redo the last season and make it 36 episodes long to take their time with the storytelling. I wanted to savour this show that I loved so much, but now it’s just gone. To misquote Erina, "It feels like I was at the beach and then suddenly there was a stampede of pigs." 😂 Despite my disappointment with the ending and how it was handled, I’m still glad I watched this anime. It inspired me to cook, and it remains a 10/10 anime in my heart.  |
