It's getting really epic. I wonder how is Souma gonna beat that guy tho i guess that muscle guy's gonna help him somehow. Good to see that Megumi can cook good alone,she kind of panicked at first but then calm down and did her job.

Cool Excellent episode!
Erina is so annoyed with Souma its fun to watch the two of them clash! (and also that evil laugh of Souma that Hisako is imagining so hilarious!)
Souma wants to play cards, Erina wants to play cards also, but when she knew Souma also wants to play cards, she took back what she said earlier to Hisako. Erina day was just messed-up my Souma hahah!
That bastard Shinomiya is now the judge of this test and a threat to Megumi.
Shinomiya is an ass because he purposely added low quality cauliflowers to limit the number of passing students which also causes Megumi not to pass. BUT here comes the good part! The Angry Souma part!
This just keeps getting better and better!
5/5.

Yeah, this dude is one harsh judge. I can understand that her way of doing the dish is not exactly in the recipe, but being creative is one of the chef's abilities.

How dare you insult Erina-sama!

She is allowed to act superior and quite frankly everyone else is a dirty peasant in her presence so it's only natural she always has that condescending smirk.


Oh, LOL, the irony :D

Shonomiya is basically a male Erina. I love how divided reactions towards them illustrate the double standards we have in anime nowadays.

Holy crap ... this episode was SO FREAKING INTENSE!!! Started off pretty funny with Erina getting all embarrassed after bumping into Souma and even refusing to play cards because of it XD Meanwhile Souma chats with another one of the great chefs and obviously has no idea who the guy is ... seems like Isshiki was pretty fast too! Interestingly enough seems like the name "Yukihira" was known ... maybe he knows Souma's dad? :O
In any case the second task was really difficult ... so many people failed ... including Megumi! D: I can't believe he purposely put bad ingredients to fail people ... what the heck. Even though Megumi "fixed" the cauliflower he fires her for not following the recipe?! Wouldn't it be even worse to serve a bad dish in a restaurant? >_< Either way Souma certainly got fired up and challenged him to a Cooking Battle ... oh gosh, his pose was SO intense!!! I wonder if we'll get into that next episode right away?! AHHHHHH I WANT IT NOW! T_T I bet he'll win because Megumi has to come back (right?!) but at the same time I feel like Shinomiya has got to be better probably ... so wouldn't he have the advantage ...? Or maybe he'll win but then someone else will pull some strings to get her back after all?! AHHHHH I DON'T KNOW LOL NEXT WEEK COME FASTER :P

She was just angry because she wanted to fail everyone and did not expect someone to cook something she liked.

No, Souma was correct in arguing that because Shonomiya said they're supposed to
be Shonomiya's staff, he, as their superior, was responsible for the ingredient-quality
available.

If Shonomiya didn't say that, Souma couldn't really argue about it.

If you're referring to Erina in ep 2, then she went out of her way to fail Souma, there isn't really any doubt about that.
She judged him the moment she read that his family had a diner.

Her reaction while eating, and how she behaved afterwards should tell you that much.
I guess she felt it as a personal insult when she liked his food because in her
mind he was supposed to be a second-rate cook.

At least Shinomiya had an actual reason to fire Megumi for changing the recette.
Erina on the other hand, even if you blame it on Souma, it doesn't change the fact that she fired him based on her pride. Even if she did fire him because Souma supposedly "pushed her to the edge" that's not a really good reason to expel someone "just because" they made fun of her.

Shinomiya may be a douchebag but at least he's professional about it.

Nope, not even close. Shinomiya is nowhere as douchey as Erina. He may have been crap this episode but at least there's a reason why he is this way, Erina on the other hand is full of herself (maybe for good reason but still) and is stubborn, all it took is some comments from Soma and she turned into an annoying bitch because tsundere.

Good episode. Shinomiya is edgy as fuck right now, but maybe we will get a reason to why he is like that, hopefully. Soma is getting more likeable as things progress too. He's cocky as hell, and normally I don't like it when the protagonist is always on top of everything, but he has a fun personality and he is still a nice and courteous dude, as shown in the last bit of this episode. He seems like the type of guy who would be fun to talk with over a few beers. Really liked the direction they took with this with Megumi getting "fired", and am very excited to see what happens next time, even if I can pretty easily predict the outcome.

Also, this was absolutely hilarious.

Pretty much, and you'll like Shinomiya a bit more after next ep (he's actually quite likable in the manga in recent chapters). As for Erina, I LOVE tsundere but ones that bitch about every little thing, I actually hate. Thankfully, but too late for some, she has mellowed out quite a bit in the manga. Still want Souma to take the Megumi route

Souma challenging Shinomiya to a Shokugeki match for Megumi's sake is one of the most badass moments in Shokugeki no Souma. I've read the manga, so it's no suprise for me, but I still get chills from this.

She's more like a Bitch-dere (the dere-side is barely shown to hisako), and soma is also cocky and stubborn(but he's not a douche). She "respects" those with talent and threat like garbage those who don't, she just has "chemistry" with soma.

Have in mind that erina as a character has barely been worked on even in the manga(unlike main-story shiromiya), it's not fair to compare them until she has proper character development.
There have only been hints about her "issues", it's clear (or at least i think so) that the author is holding her development for later in the story, the thing is that that moment doesn't seem close. To cope with her ("unjustified")bitch-side patience/tolerance is needed, so the author decided to give her other "traits"(that don't do much) to give the viewers a positive image of her (at least in comedy moments).

Erina has potential to be a decent(or even better) "shonen heroine", is up to the author to do a good job with her or to take the "easy route".

That is not quite right. There has been no indication that she treats normal people like garbage. Those she treats like garbage are those who want to be considered professional chefs, but yet cannot make anything worth eating. She doesn't like arrogant cooks who cannot back up their arrogance with results.

Even the clubs she targeted were targeted because the current members were not trying to improve upon the work of their predecessors. If all they were going to do was to make something that was already known, then they didn't need to be at a cooking school, and shouldn't be diverting resources from those who were trying to make new things.

As for her and Souma, the manga hasn't specifically said why she hates him, but the pieces are there for us to figure it out. Before I get to that, Erina doesn't dislike Souma because he worked in a diner. She did not like his arrogance, but had he made food she could respect, she would have accepted him.

The question is why didn't she respect the food even though she knew it was good.

We know that the person who knows her best (Hisako) has noticed that Erina acts differently when she is around Souma.
We know that her father, knowing she had rejected Souma, still tasted the food and laughed.
We also know that Erina will accept anyone who can walk the walk.
This suggests that there is something about Souma's food that she cannot accept and the father knows the reason (even if Erina won't admit it to herself).

I am not going to say what this is, though manga readers should have figured it out by now, but sufficient to say it has nothing to do with Souma working in a diner, or even with his personality. It is something about his food. And ultimately she is right to reject him, Souma hasn't cleared this hurdle yet.

The author is definitely slow cooking her, I think in the entire manga there was only been one scene where he showed how awesome she is (when she gave Megumi her props). But the thing is: slow cooked meat can be so tender and above all have such savory deliciousness :-)

I dropped it after - I think appr. - 2 episodes.

The picture in the first post looks promising, though.


I was considering on dropping it after the first two episodes too because it does follow that typical shounen plot where Gary/Marty Stu Yukihira Souma seems to kick everyone's ass effortlessly. He hasn't lost yet but the other characters keep me coming back especially Erina, Aldini twins and Megumi. I enjoy seeing all the delicious creations since I'm a cook myself.

Nah, she's just like the people he met before entering the room.
She judged him the moment she read he was from a diner (not "noble" enough).
She hated his guts before he cooked anything at all.

So tell me, how can it be related his food?

Not to mention, do you really think the chairman would've let him in if the food was bad (or even so-so)?
Does the chairman really seem to be of the forgiving type regarding food?

Its nice to see Megumi doing the task by herself and not depending on Souma. I kinda predicted that Souma will say something about the Shokugeki, but in spite of that it still felt awesome he said it. Also the part where Erina can't be honest that she wanted to play cards was also funny.

Teacher's fixing school tests to purposely make students fail is completely unethical and I'm pretty sure it's illegal too. He's not even a real teacher he's just a student alumni.

he's also far too arrogant in that even after fixing the test, when someone using their brain to overcome the situation and create good food he's still gonna fail them despite the fact this kind of ingenuity is what students are supposed to be rewarded for.

the only person who should be fired here is Shinomiya.
