Leonora's VA is made this episode imo

Alice and Ryou again prove themselves to be my favorite characters with that backstory.

If Soma doesn't win I'd be surprised.

I don't know why I see this like an overrated anime.

What's up with not serving the plate how it's supposed to be, that should not be allowed, that is playing freely with the judges emotions.

Seriously, I cannot understand the hype of the people about this anime, the script does not convince me at all.

I was expecting this to be a lot more drawn out, either way it was obvious they were gonna cliffhanger the winner. Leonora is just great too.

I haven't seen Berserk, but I somehow just knew it.

Too fast of an adaptation. However, it still turns out to be good each week.

I'm fairly confident in saying this season will pale in comparison to S1. I continue to feel the depth of the arc is lacking as a result of the decision to go one cour. Still rated very high though at present and deserving I suppose as it's still very entertaining to watch, but nowhere near as exciting as watching S1 events imo.

In terms of exciting, the manga definitely did it better. They just rushed the hell out of this entire Autumn festival to be honest. That in itself is no small feat.

That said, it was still a pretty enjoyable experience I guess. Still needed a bag of chips to get through the first two dishes.

Hayama only used allspice? Talk about shocking. Everyone though he'd drop like 20 spices but 1 spice in the end, quite shocking.

That's quite an odd way for Ryo to present his dish but it also looked quite creative. It makes the person unwrapping it feel anxious towards the dish.
Soma's dish imo looked better than Hayama's but that's just my opinion.

Souma still have secret weapon, will it be enough to win him the tournament?

YAY! SOMA'S GONNA WIN!

I mean why else would they make such a tease like that, unless the author was being a dick and allowing the fans to THINK the MC was gonna overcome the two top dogs and come out the Champ only to then say....NAH, FUCK THAT I'm gonna make that brown dude win or the other guy...whatever his name is...

I mean...Fine, if you don't want to have the MC win I get that....but why put him as the big underdog then tease the audience with some miraculous comeback, only to fail?

But surely the author won't do that...surely our hero Soma will come out on top!

Leonora's 'baring' scene made my day! XD

I'm happy that J.C Staff was able to deliver this episode really well. Both Kurokiba and Hayama's dishes look really fancy and have dis-robed Senzaemon, but I'd personally say that Hayama has the edge over Kurokiba partly due to the 'one-trick pony' insult in the semi-finals.

Soma's dish looks really inviting, simple and delicious, but it hasn't dis-robed Senzaemon. At least, not yet, since Soma has an ace up his sleeve. good thing thankfully, since I don't want to see Eizan's smug face smiling again. >_<

Agreed. By the way the finals are going, Soma's ace should give him the win, unless there is an ass-pull that prevents him from winning.

What I hated about this episode more than in other episodes is that I had to pause every second to read this long sentences... it kinda ruined my fun ;/ I was also eating my self made Chaliapin Katsudon Thyriad Style inspired by Chaliapin Steak Don from first season anime :) so I had to pause even more to eat rice with chopsticks :S

I loved Alice and Ryou story :) it was cool and cute :)))

I think that Hayama dish is the weakest.
Ryou dish thanks to this butter and packing everything together is the one I like the most, although I haven't tried all the seafood as I am not fond of them.
Souma is also something I would make, I wonder what he wants to add to his dish, but still isn't it against the rules or something? :/

I don't want to wait another week for new episode :(

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

This was sorta my reaction. I don't understand why nearly everyone thought that cliffhanger was so amazing. I thought it was pretty dumb. Time is already up. Sorry Soma. You don't get to add more to the dish just because the judges weren't overwhelmed by it.

Why do people always say "You're not serious about this competition!" If I had a dollar every time someone said that in every shounen competition, I'd buy myself a freaking country.

Alice's mom's accent is pretty annoying, I know it's supposed to be funny but it's not funny at all. I'm tired of how they assume foreigners sound when speaking Japanese. It obviously sounds like a Japanese person talking like a foreigner speaking in Japanese.

Also, can Soma please lose at least once? I'm tired of this fucking Marty Stu and his orgasmic creations. I don't give a fuck either if the series is named after him. Then again, I'm not watching for him, I'm watching for the food.

Ryo is up first and makes people lose their clothes. This is probably the most intense talk about melting butter I will ever hear, and it even fixed the white haired mom's Japanese and turned her into an angel. Hayama also, makes everybody lose their clothes with food even more intense. And then Soma enters, and does not make everybody lose their clothes, but that only seems to happen when it's unexpected. Now to wait and see who actually wins once they try out whatever Soma is gonna pull.

The mere thought that the Director didn't take-off his top clothes suggests that Souma didn't even made the judges appreciate his creation and then suddenly Souma releases his secret trump card is frigginly cliffhanger! DAMN!

Dang, I LOVE Alice and Ryou's relationship!!! Seeing their cooking battles go back so long was so cute, especially how that's when he started calling her "ojou" after his first win XD Really hope he wins (for her) :P His dish looks really delicious ... oh my gosh *_* Alice's mother is too funny lol, how does she suddenly speak Japanese properly?! If I'm not mistaken, in the flashback to Alice and Ryou as kids she spoke fluently then :P Akira's dish looks pretty good too, and so does Souma's. Looks like he's got another trick up his sleeve though, since his initial offering didn't seem to impress as much as the others did. Let's see how this changes things, but I still hope that Ryou wins ... :P

Hayama beat Kurokiba if it was a one vs one.

To be fair they both are really strong cooks. Alice is probably in that group as well among the first years.

Soma was pretty ballsy not serving his entire dish right off the bat.

This gets more stupid by the episode. People constantly getting naked from eating meals, some sword fight is there for some reason and now there's yet another good looking female character now with a silly voice gimmick.

The first season wasn't too bad but this one is awful. Funnily enough it's the actual Food Wars that bring it down. These "battles" just make the show go full retard.

I'm tired of everyone in the school still assuming that Yukihira still has no skill. I mean like he has obviously proven them wrong so any times already.
Let’s say I posed this question to you: “Can all human souls be bought with money or not?” Now remember, the keyword here is “all”. The answer is “There are times when you can buy them, and other times, not,” right? The human being… sometimes he’ll uphold his pride and conscience even if he’s offered ten billion yen, and other times he’ll murder someone over one yen. ~Izaya Ohira (Durarara)

The "cliffhanger" was just silly, he shouldn't be allowed to serve a second dish.
Glad the battles are almost over at least as they're rather boring with all the over the top reactions and all the babbling about how the dish was made taking up almost all the time in each episode.

Just wow. These 3 are topping almost everything we could see before. It's a battle of giants. Ryous dish looked so good in these cling wrap bags. This dish surpassed the dish he made in the semifinal. Also Akiras dish was completely different and everyone thought it's failure, but after he began burn the fish it was like magic.

Also interesting to hear and see more about Ryous and Alices past together. Ryou lost every cooking duel for 2 years. Only after these 2 years he was able to beat Alice for the first time.

The reaction of the jury was so genius. The director was naked after eating Akiras and Ryous dish and Alices mother rapped like Eminem xD

Soumas dish looked also soo good but it didn't got the reaction we expected, at least the jury had not enthusiasm as before. But as we know Souma it seems he has an ace in the hole. I can't really imagine what it will be but let's see if he can beat Akira and Ryou with it.

Might've been that they didn't explain Sōma's dish enough, but I also thought it was lacking compared to the other two. I'm glad he still has an ace up his sleeve. Now to find out what that is :D
