I never really cared for this arc because of the predictability and how obvious the outcomes were before even seeing the cooking battles, but this episode was definitely a strong one imo. The callbacks to earlier things like the transforming furikake and of course, squid legs with peanut butter xD, were nice, as well as hearing the first OP again. Everything came full circle, I don't think any of us expected Souma's disgusting joke creation to ever play an integral part in.....well, any aspect of the story lol.

Finish the last episode of this season then drop if you want. The final arc that's gonna be adapted next April is literal trash and you're better off finishing your experience with this series on this note.

This is so stupid ahaha but i love this so much, what an episode!
Only SnS to make me watch half of an episode about people eating a dish and another half people getting naked because the dish was too good ahahah

Hearing the 1 OP was amazing! It reminded me of all that we've been through the 1st episode! What a ride!
SnS, BnH, SnK!

But for real! What an episode and what a duo!
And that ending!

I'm so glad they won. I knew they could pull it out. I was expecting a "The rebels lost, but I liked their food so much that they stay" ending. Thankfully they won! Great episode, great season. Really love this show and I'm so glad it's getting another season. I really couldn't ask for anything more from a cooking related show.

As a manga reader, I don't mind if the anime kinda ended here with that throwback of the first Opening... Also really a great development for Erina here.

Next Episode is going to be (kinda) a change of arc for upcoming season which will aired in Summer 2020. Hopefully they'll deliver it good, because that arc is kinda up and down for me as a manga reader.

If you think "The gifting" is quite absurd here, you'll see it to be more ridiculous later in the next season. So I kinda waiting for that to happen lol.

I love that; the dish just overpowered Azami and forced its way in. That really encapsulates the shows themes and ideals.

This left me almost speechless, absolutely fantastic episode.

Big props to the staff. The Souma x Erina combo that took advantage of each others strenghts, Erina looking back at the last few months and the encounter with the people that shaped her to become who she is today, the confrontation with her dad, it was all perfectly executed and presented. The build up to the blessing was also amazing. My body and mind were already brimming with emotions as the face-off was unfolding front of me, but first opening truly elevated the whole scenario to another level and I couldn't hold it anymore. This experience easily surpassed the manga for me.

This episode was beautiful, Erina finally achieved her specialty and this achievement ended up defining her victory, the rebels have won.

Souma was undoubtedly sincere with Erina since the challenge to this shokugeki among them, in fact he was honest enough to say that they cannot work together, but still Erina orders Souma to cooperate with her so that she can finish her specialty in the little time she has.
Senzaemon's flashback with loli Erina was too adorable, that pouting face asked to be given congratulations headpats despite not having heard her grandfather's approval.

The way we see how Erina cooks, while we relive all the moments that changed Erina's life was beautiful, her new friends, the revelation that Jouichirou is Souma's father and most importantly, the arrogance of not admitting that Souma is a good chef.

The moment of truth arrives and Erina presents her plate and it turned out to be Oyakodon, a dish that no student thought Erina-sama would prepare in a competition and her father's words of disapproval were not missed, but Erina does not allow it and she took a rather challenging attitude against her father and she asks Rindou and Tsukasa to approve the dish before him and they both agree to try the Erina-Souma menu.

Both Tsukasa and Rindou felt the intensity of Souma's dish, but they still doubted if it was combined with Erina's dish, but to the surprise of both Erina's dish was a delight that exceeded their expectations, but the funniest thing was one of the ingredients she used, the disgusting squid tentacles covered with peanut butter that Souma always shows proudly and when I saw Erina's beautiful smile, I could not contain the tears, that is something that must be protected forever, but now it's Azami's turn to evaluate and this bastard doesn't want to recognize Erina's plate, but Erina reveals an ace up her sleeve and it's something Souma prepared a long time ago.
The judges and Azami were melted with the intensity of Erina's dish, Anne and Decora could not stand the pleasure of the combinations of this dish.
The disgusting faces of Azami were glorious and when I began to hear the first opening of the first season, I knew that something epic and glorious would happen and I was not mistaken, the "gifting" of Azami was activated and left everyone half-naked, until finally Azami himself was defeated and half-naked and to close tremendous victory Souma and Erina end epic with a "it was nothing"

The next and last episode will surprise us with a leap in time and I can't believe how beautiful Erina looks, but for me the one that changed the most and now looks even more beautiful than before is the adorable Megumi.

What is this? I'm feeling dejá-vu all over again! XD Never expected Erina to copy Souma's lines and dishes like that. What a nice surprise! ^^ Did Azami finally understood about the feelings not only because of his daughter but also for the rest of the students who want to become great chefs? I believe her stubborn father will have a change of heart after this ;) Great episode!

Of course Erinia would master the octopus, lol. It's amazing how amazing it is when she smiles just because she's pretty much never smiled in the past! I'm glad she finally finds something to be proud of and put her torturous relationship with Azami behind her.

I have no idea how the original writer kept pulling these miraculous endings out of a hat but it works pretty good, I didn't see the shokugeki-ception coming and the Azami-pulse was really ridiculous lol. Finally, as others have said it feels like that was the last episode so I dunno if they can top it, especially when they dropped the OP (it feels super chill compared to the S4 OP!).

5/5 enjoyment 1/5 writing. The gifting is ridiculous at this point lol

Basically, with the poorly explained antagonists, a goal too stupid to be put into reality and with the show being one-sided, Azami just ousted himself.

Okay, I'm speechless here. It's been a barren season in all honesty so far compared to the previous 3 and a half seasons but this episode might've just topped it all.

Nakiri's progression this episode alone is out of this world. Using Soma's creations as a fiery weapon and activating the ridiculous "Gifting" plus the 1st Op to hype things up, this is Shounen at its epitome. And the "Osamatsu" in the end...

On the other hand, Nakiri Azami-san's finally admitted defeat and the full extent of his revolution out in the open. Of course keeping everyone in a fake haven would keep away struggles but how's that supposed to save the culinary industry. You'd destroy Japan's food to smithereens had this prevailed, I'm afraid.

Hopefully, we'll get to see more of Soma's mother by the way. Been a while since we've got a reference to her and why not Erina's in the process after the little appetizer here.

Next episode's title, looks like things are going to be roller coasting. My guess would be Erina 1st Rank and Souma 2nd but let's see.

I.... am confused about my feelings for this episode, but what I can confirm is that in terms of entertainment and keeping me locked in, this episode was the best that I've watched in the past couple seasons of this series. But it's not the best for the pure quality at the same time.

This final dish of Erina, her specialty main dish, was so entertaining to watch and satisfying seeing Azami just lose control of his ability and having everyone lose their clothes Kill la Kill style, and there was a ton of nostalgia with so many references to the past from the squid tentacles and peanut butter actually making a dish better, to those cubes and egg dish that Soma prepared when he first met Erina, and much more. In terms of an actual specialty dish, this was really stupid and overly ridiculous, but in terms of fun, I fucking had a blast with this episode I'll admit. It's so cheesy and farfetched, but given what all happened in this series prior and how dry the series had been for so long, this kicked some ass with some energy. And it at least gave a good platform for Erina's characterization to truly blossom in the final stage as she defeats her father and Central, and everyone she cares for is back in the Academy, and her teammates who helped her have some Elite Ten spots too. The cooking and the dishes and the process made fucking no sense, but it was fun.

I really wished this season was the final one and not the next one. What a wasted opportunity to actually end it well enough compared to the shit that would be introduced soon. Same goes for the manga, should have ended with this portion.
