| I had to go and grab some pork from the fridge after watching this episode, this show is too good. |
| Seriously eating popcorn while watching this series is a bit hard , i dunno why but the fact that they use such expensive ingrediants makes my minute popcorn look pretty pathetic |
 |
| Great episode! Very enjoyable and very compelling. |
 |
| Hopefully Soma isn't going to be one of those protagonists who wins every single time. |
| you're going to a cooking challenge not a swimsuit contest -_- but she did look like she's playing an instrument when cutting the meat and her past is messed up and of course he was going to win the fuck did you expect? |
 |
| Soma is such a troll lol. |
 |
| "I'm moe-moe-ed out" so fucking pricless |
 |
| Souma's first actual shokugeki with Nikumi has ended with Souma winning with his cheap discount male compared to Nikumi's A5 meat. :D Oh man, this episode made me want to drool so badly. The music made the entire shokugeki match really intense too. xD Lots of Nikumi fanservice but with the way she's dressed it's hard not to have fanservice scenes with her. :P J.C. Staff is definitely doing a good job with this adaptation, loving the anime every week. Nikumi totally has feelings for Souma now haha. xD Nikumi's meat / 5 |

Ajunky said: Kitoge said: There is the matter of why she bothered making a strong flavored rice to begin with. To bring into focus the meat's flavor, plain boiled rice would have been enough... If she is just thinking about meat, then this option would make more sense.Look I'm sure the A5 meat was out-of-this-world good, but the cheap meat along with the other ingredients created one harmony which makes the eater want more while the A5 rice did not mix with the garlic rice. I'm obviously sure that the A5 alone would have beaten the cheap meat. It annoys me to see people complain when in reality, the outcome made complete sense. Of course, there is no denying that a rice that complements the meat is better. So he could still have won against that. It just seems a bit convoluted to have her to make an effort in the wrong direction. She didn't go in the wrong direction. The problem was she went in the same direction. The problem wasn't a clashing between the garlic rice and the beef; the garlic rice was sauteed in beef fat and butter. She served beef on beef-flavored garlic rice--which was fine for as long as the beef lasted, but once you've satiated your taste for beef you have no reason to finish the rice. It's like too much of a good thing. Plain rice would have been worse; transparently used as just a vehicle for the meat, it wouldn't even qualify as a don and you'd really have no reason to finish plain rice unless you were simply hungry. |
Alsiel is amused!! |

| I KNOW souma will be the winner! that was amazing! loved it when he said the one who talks too much can't be trusted. wohoooooooo!!! I can't wait for another battle in the future. loved his baka-face so much and his modest personality >.< god, I wonder if souma would face any failure in the future that would break my heart ;_____; and hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. hope there's no romance elements. |

| Hilarious and satisfying as hell. I love this show. I just hope Nikumi won't be forget after this episode and gets even more screentime. |
 |
| Damn Souma trolled everyone. I thought he was part of the Don club too. Nikumi has to be the best girl in this series. I mean the way she handle that meat was so sexy. Plus she was so cute at the end with her school outfit. I like her better like that. Next episode looks like its going to be just as good. Hope to see more Nikumi tho :) |
 |
| I really would love to try eating some premium A5 beef at least once in my lifetime. :P I'm not even sure if there's a restaurant or a hotel in this country that serves it. I love how this Shokugeki ended. Souma wins, Nikumi joins the RS Don as per conditions of the Shokugeki, but Souma has no interest of joining the club. Nikumi got traded to the RS Don without ever getting to work with Souma. xD What a troll! xDD |
Theorder14 said: Less boobs and more cooking pls >.> Why not both? The camera sure does love Nikumi, and I'm certainly not complaining. Glad she's sticking around. Soma continues to be an awesome character, though I wonder if he'll ever have any trouble with anyone in the future. So far, he's crushed all his competition. Almost effortlessly too. |
| Wow, Erina is quite ruthless to immediately dismiss Mito just because she lost. How inflated can her ego get? And I kinda feel bad for the Don Society, lol, with how clueless Yukihira is and the way he left everyone in the dust. And already a harem? LOLOLOLOLOL |

Ajunky said: I see. I didn't watch carefully. It wasn't an obviously bad combination, just not as well considered as Souma's. As implied, a smaller amount of that rice would have been more adequate for the dish, except then it would not have been a "don". So basically she underestimated the theme, led by her contempt for the club. Indeed, which is fitting because we've seen the disdain in their elite school for the food enjoyed by the masses. But she couldn't help it; getting to understand the philosophy of the dish would have implied the dish had some merit. Much like Souma could not win with expensive ingredients without undermining his principles, Nikumi could not prove that donburi was a worthless dish to research without showing it could be beaten *solely* on the basis of superior ingredients. Respecting the theme was out of the question for her in the first place. |

| The best way to start of an episode is with boobies :3 Soma.. You.. Lmao 50% off xD Soma vs ikumi was pretty awesome I really enjoyed it. Ikumi is so cute when she ran away and blushed!! I like show she took her time to get into the club but soma ended up not actually joining LMAO XD |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| Such a great episode! I really enjoyed it. However, Ikuma's loss seemed too quick for me. Lol... At that ending though. 5/5 |

 |
| It feels like Soma is going to have a harem by the end of the season. I like where this is going. :3 |
| Engaging episode, and I have a huge craving for meat now. Interested in what will happen next. |
 |
| Oooh, Nikumi has a crushieee. Lol! She's cute when she's flustered. I had a very strong inkling that Souma wouldn't/didn't join the club.. He never initially said he'd join nor did he fill up an application form. He just asked to take part in the challenge. Souma = no.1 troll. :P The meat looked so good that I'm craving for it now, but too bad I gave up meat entirely early this year. |

| Even though I read the manga, I felt very excited while watching this episode. I'm also glad that they toned down the foodgasms. Nikumi is (second) best grill. Can't wait to see more of her (if the anime goes that far). Training Camp arc begins next week :D |
 |
| Great food battle episode. 5/5 |
 |
| Kirito's cooking level is OP. Hope to see more of Nikumi. |
| Good episode, the comedy in this plot is always very good, but there are several exciting moments also, I'm looking forward to the next arc .. |
  |
| This anime is SO CRUEL! That brown skinned chick is SO fappable....but that only makes me hungry....and then I gotta see those animated foods which make me even MORE hungry.... And I can't cook to save my life!!! And Smug Erina is SO GOOD.....I just love her Sadistic face. Please Erina-sama, step on me and call me a filthy pervert!!! |
| Next episode start the Hotel Training Arc, Megumi Use your Talent!! |
| It's a bad idea to read the manga again just before the episode, the anime lacks impact the manga had and this episode budget went down and there was some slightly rushed part especially with the introduction of the judge and their explanation but it is still a good episode of a great adaptation! |

Isterio said: TheUnbiasedOne91 said: So this is a harem anime with the harem voice actor.The cooking just filler. Just another episode for perverts and Otakus. The show does certainly improve and the humor get´s alot better, but comeone this was unnecessary. It´s a mediocore show for a reason. I couldn´t choose if I was meant to have a boner or get hungry. So I did both. Seriously how to make this the perfect show. 1. Make every episode revolve around meat. 2. Enhance the fanservice make the show 16+. 3. Put in beer references and remove all the PG 13 comedy. There we go you have yourself the manliest Anime since Hellsing and Gurren Lagann I don't get what you're trying to say here. Are you implying this show is mediocre because of the fanservice? |
| Always enjoy watching a cooking battle where cheap ingredients beat expensive ones. It is really too easy to win a shokugeki with the best grade beef, it barely proves you have cooking skills. Even if the MC wins all the time, as long as it's because of skills, I can accept it. |
| Lol Souma's such a troll :D |
| Watching every single episode of this anime makes me hungry lol |
| An excellent episode, probably because of the build-up episode before, and because of how deep Mito's foodgasm was, involving her backstory and memories. Was also good to learn about the umami taste group, had never heard of it before. |
 |
| You haters should just watch "Cooking Master Boy" if you hate ecchi. LOL. Getta of here!!! |
#CHEXIT |
Never expected they put in this side chapter in the anime: Or at least the first part. It was a pleasant surprise though. :) |
