As usual, really great episode!

It got such a nice atmosphere with all those chinese lights...

Also, I wonder how that new character will be introduced!

They really like that animation of those chefs cooking in unison don't they, this is like the 3rd episode they appeared in. Anyway, I was quite pleased with this episode, it was extremely predictable for the most part, though the night bit was a nice surprise.

I hope Kuga-Kun learned that if you underestimate Yukihira, you'll only get burned!
It was so nice to see Aldini, Mimasaka, and Nikumi help him and Todokoro along the way, it was beautiful.

I loved this episode. <3

Them winning was kinda unrealistic. But oh well, good job Souma.
EDIT - Ah, if it was just that particular day then I guess that's... more digestible.

4 episodes just to see the obvious: Yukihira winning his rival with the rival speciality (and making it better). As most of times, so its not sorprise.


he didnt win by making it better he made it by making it his own and it was more so the tables and customer service than the food.

The drama distracted from the shitty direction this ep. I feel like visually this season is such a step down. The storyboarding is so lifeless
Would be reading the manga if I didn't think sacrificing the colours of the anime + the great OST would be a problem

Ok so could someone explain to me how Souma beat Kuga when Kuga has twice the number of cooks twice the number of seats and twice the number of line to the point that the restaurant is pack while souma has 3 people with 3 more added at the last hour or 2 so Kuga should still be number 1 at ranking and Souma 2nd or 3rd

Also im starting to notice is that Soumas main weapon against anyone is his 10 years experience at his fathers restaurant and every other student he faces have little to no experience at restaurants i mean this kids are from family's that owns huge well known restaurant and it just happens that annoying cocky ass Souma is the only one with experience

That exactly the source of his fruit.

Also despite has read this manga this episode remind me again how terrific Megumi skill in term to "serve customers".

The stand Yukihira made looked so amazing, especially with them lights they put. Very observant from Yukihira as well. Plus Megumi's great customer service was also a plus.

I think it was after watching the previous episode that I said this show was becoming a little formulaic in the sense of how Souma tackled all the challenges he faced and that the stakes weren't high enough in this particular arc but it still makes me smile when I see the bonds that Souma has made with a lot of different people come into play. Takumi, Isami, Mimasaka and Nikumi all help him out without having anything to do with his stall.

It's nice to see Akira, Ryo and Alice doing well too.

But its his first festival so maybe next year he can beat him.

Kuga sure is confident in himself though. Nice to see that all the stalls are trying their hardest to get more customers as the end approaches. Mapo Tofu with noddles interesting. Souma's skill at fast thinking always amazes me. Curry in such a dish sure is creative. Never expected Souma to ask Subaru for help though. The lanterns were an interesting idea and really helped in set the mood though. Just another weapon to make more customers come. Its nice seeing Souma's friends come and offer their help though. This is exactly what friends are for. Its nice that thanks to everyone that Souma managed top top the charts at last. Such an enjoyable episode though. Friendship can triumph over the most powerful of foes thats for sure. Alice's idea sure was interesting this time around.

I agree with you guys. If that was a day sell results then it is MAYBE or "could be possible". In other way there is no possible that Yukihira could won that. Soo far I didn't have feeling in this series like: "damn this feel a bit like a "shitty plot twist". But this time I had it...

Souma took first place in on the 4th Day Sales not overall........how about paying more attention kids (instead of dumb complains). The rankings are for each individual day.

Also he used legit strategy instead of plot armor, he found his opponents weak points, attracted customers with free samples and new dishes, made more new dishes based on customer feedback and slowly build up his stall with more attractions. He also made plans for extra hands by talking to Subaru who was free.

The only problem in his plan was that he didn't expect that many customers.......which was solved by his friends helping out. Everyone of them owes him something beforehand so that's not surprising that they would want to help whenever possible even if Souma doesn't ask for it. Well even without their help Souma would have been atleast in the top 5 for the day with that kind of boost.

he did steal some of hes costumers, Kuga still had way bigger reputation, appearence appeal for most of day and should've still bigger venue given how large that building looks like visually at least, and not least workers who work more effectively than yukihira ever had even after hes friends joined him.
Idk how you imagine him losing in that particular day.
unless that all was just visualization and ... reality looks different. Remember Yukihira started having big sales at the very end of day, while Kuga seemed to keep consistency.

Souma won thanks to Nakama power, but unlike a certain stupid anime, this anime did it much better, made more sense.

That Mapo-Curry Noodles looks so delicious.

I felt that this arc was a little shallow compared to previous ones. Because we are talking about a guy from the top 10 and souma beats him with just 4 days of preparation.

But reading the comments of Manga readers has made me get super hyped about this Azami and how the show is gonna be completely change after that.

So, This is one of those times where I would like to just sleep non-stop for a week, so I can see the next episode immediately.

Also, the tension I felt when the top guy was just getting ready to cook, is totally out of this world

Not not some, many of his customers. Before people thought that Kuga's place was the only one they could get high-level of food so even with the long wait time and not-so-nice service, they still went there. He had a big line, but not enough accommodations hence the sub-par customer service i.e. telling people to leave just after finishing their food.

Yukihira gave the almost the same quality of food for all classes of people who can sit down and enjoy it at a much cheaper price. The free samples and customer feedback helped with this as well. So he got a lot of customers and was barely able to keep up until reinforcement arrives.

Well bald men against cute girls service, Neither I or Kuga saw that coming.


Well let's see,
From what I have seen Kuga still had 2nd place, i'm not sure how badly other places does so not sure how well he still did to Yukihira.
The day began Kuga keep getting job done for quite morning:) seems like he is full with customers to begin with.
That's when Yukihira gets hes place first done for customers to sit down.
I didn't pay much attention to stuff at what time they were happening, but for most of day they worked with 3/4ppl, while at the evening? rest of nakamas come help, this one actually can't say i don't remember so if they worked all whole day then...
How many bald men work for Kuga? I didn't count seemed a lot of them.
I don't see why ppl would choose Yukihira place over Kuga, once they can pick even if they did it would be few, Kuga definitely had still more appear to customers. Most likely ppl went to both restaurents frequently, however to yukihira as result of Kuga's place being full. Even so ppl who were coming to that area most likely had as their objective Kuga restaurant.

That Kuga didn't have enough service for all customers, doesn't mean ppl would stop coming later on to him, simply he was doing the limit he was prepared for -> kicking out customers after 20mins was good idea not bad imo, as it allowed him to make more sales, just ppl who won't wait or aren't willing to will go to the other one, question would be if Yukihira can take more customers than he does, even if he would.

So in the end it feels like its about who could manage more customers in given time, and i don't see how Yukihira could manage more even after all hes friends joined him. The only advantage he had was take-out food, but still Kuga seemed to have more ppl and being disciplined to work effectively, and while we didn't see how many spots he got inside he prepared for this day fro a lot of costumers and that place looks big, so... i imagine there's a lot of customers inside.
