Interesting episode, we got Takumi competing, one of the more underrated characters imo.

Felt like a lot of mind games going on as well with Subaru being the opponent. Oh God that laugh. Shame Takumi lost and Subaru got his 100th win. I give him effort for trying though.

Wow, a fight against copy-cat? And he just copying it perfectly for the ingredients parts. No wonder he gets that creepy Title. Totally feels like fighting against your own shadow.
That rap-player reaction from the judge feels perfectly fit after that seemingly-hard dessert making process.

Dayum, Takumi tried his best, but against the ultimate stalker troll he was no match. :(

Soma though? Well...he IS the mc, I suspect such tactics won't work on him. XD

It was pretty obvious that Takumi will lose, and Subaru will match against Soma.

Great episode tho, and I'm pretty hyped about the Ryo vs Akira match. And 100% that the final will be about the inevitable Soma vs Akira rivalry.

Great episode again, Poor Takumi, I was rooting for him all the way. :(

That rap was funny xD

That Subaru guy is one cunning guy, His methods might be disgusting but the guy's got the skill to back it up.

Interesting that Subaru already showed up at Souma's place to try and intimidate him, Though i doubt Souma will fall that easily for all his provocation to come.
Pretty high stakes for the next Shokugeki, Souma betting his entire cooking career on it. Go Souma! Show the guy what cooking is all about!

Kinda boring season so far, rinse repeat cooking battles. Manga readers, do arcs like last season's end up coming back or is it all just battles from now on? If it's going to be nothing but battles I think I'll stop watching this after the current season.

I don't know what you did expect. We left season 1 off with the prelims of an important contest and without a cut we went right into the next rounds. Of course it would be continuous battles that repeat until there is a winner.

I don't agree with this writing here.

1. Takumi losing and being brushed off.
2. Souma putting his career on the line ---> makes it even more obvious that he will win
3. Takumi being put under Souma despite the build-up for a match between them that went to the trash.

It will be better once you know the result and aftermath of Soma vs Subaru, its just convenient writting, i mean if we had Soma vs Subaru in the first round with a Soma not knowing nothing about Subaru, then probably Soma would have lost (MC Plot armor aside). Subaru is just that skilled in my opinion

Wow, Subaru's victory was expected, but this guy really takes stalking and mind games to another level. He's definitely deserving of the "King of Stalkers" title. Idk how anyone could keep their cool in a match against him (except Souma of course). Souma vs. Subaru was inevitable, but I personally feel like there won't be much suspense about who will win because we all know who's going to win. Especially with Souma putting something as big as his career on the line, there's no way he'll lose, the laws of shounen MC won't allow it.

That rap by that one judge though, that was priceless. I was laughing my ass off during that part.

To be honest expected for Takumi to win so that he would be against Yukihira but that would be predictable and they did this, amazing, loved it, want more.

This is the most battle themed arc from the manga currently. After this arc is over other themes will start. Like the ideal place to sell food kind of like the fried chicken thing, getting to try a 2 week internship at different restaurants to get a feel of what it's like being a real chef and passing challenges to stay in the academy. So there will be a lot less battles after this arc

im so hyped for Ryo vs Akira match. I suppose that the winner is going to be Akira but still i would like Ryo to win.....but that would be to obvious(i dont read the manga) Maybe the winner its Ryo who knows.

So the ''I m going to quit cooking'' from the trailer is just this scene? yokatta....

Well this is so INTENSE AS HELL, that stupid stalker bastard chef stealing away their prides and tools, so sad for Aldini :(( He really deserves it but that stalker chef, his perfection is just a piece of shit. That damn bastard doesn't deserve at all, he's so pathetic and Soma was right, oh no Soma! He's gonna take his risky Shokugeki with the stalker chef, if Soma loses, then..... quiting his goal? (other words. a chef). Well this could be his fate... erghhhhh I wanna see more episodes -.-

That rap was so enjoyable, so better than those "Lil artist" raps.

Takumi sure suffered a crushing defeat. Just when he thought he got the upper hand, Subaru pulls his trump card and ultimately demolishes Takumi mentally. I do give Takumi credit for coming up with a more refined dish. Under so much pressure he managed to tweak his dish that would have won had Subaru not pulled his secret ingredient.

And we get Soma vs Subaru next. I wonder how Soma will handle the mind games.

I like the pacing here compared to last week's ep. It's good as, if not better, the Ryo vs. Megumi battle in terms of pacing and art.

That rap scene threw me for a loop. I was equal parts "O_o" and "XD"

Since the quarterfinals are done, the semifinals will start next week! Meaning... MY FEMALE JUDGES!!! I can't wait for my dose of Hinako(x Megumi) and Fuyumi soon <3 <3 <3

Soma is damn badass. Lol at that rap song.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

This copy paste joke has to be stopped,our cooking demon lord is ready for him and the 3 stars of this season do not include him,I can't wait for that ugly animal to be crushed and made to suffer.Aside from that, it was a hard episode to watch,how did he pass the exams?He is just a copy paste C- rating chef.I feel sorry for Aldini but I was glad to see sweets as the main theme.

Another great episode, lots of twists and turns in the match, probably one of my favorite cooking matches in the series(certainly my favorite Shokugeki)

I wonder what trick Souma's going to show off next week.
every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake

It was a well rounded episode and given they wanted to end on that cliffhanger they had to cut some stuff, while the important parts were all there I'm a bit disappointed as a Subaru fan.

What they cut from the manga for those who are interested:
- a few panels showing Subaru spying with binoculars
- some cheering here and there from Takumis fanclub
- creepy Subaru sitting in his room, walls and ceiling full of pictures of Takumi like a true stalker
- at the end of the match the girls of Takumis fanclub insult Subaru (dreadlock gorilla etc) and he just responded with "If only I had some more time I could have investigated all of you girls thoroughly, too <3" (wish they would've kept that scene, was too funny)
- some audience member talk about that it was a very "bizarre" match

All in all they adapted ch. 76-80.

I think it is bad that his wager for the shokugeki was quitting as chef. Because that means he won't lose. Which is kinda a spoiler to the next episode. Can still hope for another amazing episode though.

totally saw him asking for all the tools back in the challenge which was obvious that he was going to get, wasn't sure that he was gonna put being a chef on the line.. thought it was going to be to drop out of the school.. but to stop being a chef adds more drama I suppose

The pacing in this episode was probably the best so far. There was plenty of time to show the food process as well as the judging and foodgasms. I really liked this match, seeing Takumi try so hard only to lose was very sad. And this episode really showed that Subaru is great at what he does. I'm super excited to see Souma face off against him next week!

Sad part is that people will rate the anime lower because of something that was written in the manga lol.


It was predictable from the start that Soma will go to the finals, so it didn't matter if he bet the knife, his headband, his career or anything.

Most people would say it is predictable that he will win the Autumn Election because he promised his Dad he wouldn't lose to anyone until their next face-off. But we won't know till we see.

I think it would have been even better if Souma had just blown him off completely telling him he was an unoriginal nobody and he didn't have the need to Shokugeki with someone meaningless like him. That would have made Subaru flip completely.

I'm rooting with all my soul for Souma,I want that dude to be humiliated in the worst way possible.
