Welp this is going to be tough. I think Souma is going to have a hard time against Eizan now even as he is playing fair.

How to defeat your enemy without doing a actual Shokugeki?

Plan A: Intimidate eg. annoying face and statements of no hope for you enemy

Plan B: Show of Force eg. bring some goons to the enemy's turf

Plan C: Shokugeki. * wth, this guy won't waver!!!

Guess Plan A and B will not concern Soma to back off.

Eizen accepts the fact that he can only defeat through a Shoukugeki. He has no choice *removes glasses

This actually reminded me when Soma had his first Shoukugeki with Nikumi. She talked to to him during the fight to discouraged him and he just gave her a friendly "insult".

Eizan is finally taking this seriously. I do hope Souma still wins this even though the judges are all with Eizan.

So Eizan is about to go all out. I still think Souma can beat him. Or if he loses Satoshi will finally appear, maybe?
Still loving Souma's nonchalant attitude. I kinda want this to last so he can remain this way.
Cute color page, Erina is stunning.

That match is not going to end. I still give this manga a lot of credit, so I don't think it will end with Souma winning judges with his food. It's stupid, it's idiotic. Something else will happen, someone will get in the way of their fighting. However, that rage face Eizan had... priceless. I laughed my ass off when his veins popped out.

Well, Erina is nowhere near the place where the shokugi is taking place, so that theory went down the drain. I'm really interested in how Souma will resolve the issue of the judging being rigged

I'm starting to get bored with this arc. I think it was too soon to completely change the school. I'm also getting tired of Souma's lack of tension. He thinks he can just win and everything will be okay. I seriously doubt that'll be the case.

Also, what's with this gyoza? Isn't that that simple dish that he and Megumi taught those kids how to make? How the hell is gyoza gonna win against corrupt judges? Although I will give him props for getting Eizan to actually get serious and start cooking. In that sense, Souma brought Eizan down to his level and not the other way around. Still, using such a high end ingredient in a peasant dish like that seems like such a waste. It makes my heart hurt a little. Lol.

In my opinion this is the weakest arc and the most boring. But it seems to be overall well received so I guess I'm in the minority. It would be hilarious if the mangaka throws a curveball and Souma is expelled and we get a new development from that, but that plot armor is probably to thick.

they have the right to defend themselves since the dorm isn't a part of the school, the school doesn't even have the legal right to take it back.

Souma obviously has plan for the corrupt judges, probably subaru will come with some blackmail or a new deal.
Then souma will beat eizan with cooking to boot, double victory and then the real shokugeki's will begin with the other elite 10 who don't use underhanded methods.

Tosh is going all out with those Eizan faces, it reminds me of some of Fukumoto's works.
So the golden age of the polar star dorm consisted of 3 members huh.

There were more than three, as shown in some flashbacks. Soichirou, Gin Dojima and Jun Shiori were three named members from that era.

Souma has shown the capacity of luring someone to eat something and showing their true feelings on the meal before so that won't be a problem. The only foreseeable threat is the fact that he isn't 9th seat for no reason.

Considering Souma has no idea what kind of cooking Eizan is good at, I don't think it will be that easy to beat him. Souma never actualy have a real shokugeki with an Elite Ten before, I don't think he will win his first one.

It will be pretty interesting if he lose.

So finally Souma goaded Eizan into cooking for real. Waiting to see how he will overcome the corrupt judges.

Arc is a little boring so they should wrap it up soon.

So Polar Star decided to fight instead of surrendering, while i expected some resistance i certainly didn't see Megumi being the first one vocal about it...hopefully i doesn't bite them in the ass.

Four-eyes finally took the bait and decided to fight huh? I wonder if he's still hiding something under his sleeves.

My guess is that he is counting on the Elite 10's pride. They may think that the New Order is better for them, but Souma realizes that it is just going to be a dead end, resulting in their becoming worse chefs. Without challenges all they have is stagnation, Eizen is smart enough to figure that out in the end. And if he does, then whether or not Souma wins is irrelevant.

That this is the course was hinted by Eizen taking Souma's challenge. He didn't need to do that, but his pride got in his way. Rindou likewise is starting to figure this out as well.

Souma has been having a lot of badass facial expressions lately. But like others said, I don't think they can end this with just Soumas food being great and all ends well. Something else has to happen. It will probably revolve around Isshiki because he's been 'absent' the entire time. I highly doubt the 7th seat would silently sit by and watch the 9th seat destroy his dorm... Would love an Isshiki vs Eizan or something but don't see the point as Eizan has too much to lose.

What will happen is:
One knows that there's no way to win from the start, therefore, unable to change the opinion of the judges, it will then change the view of Eizan, from the beginning, his intention (acting calm and humiliating the Eizan with his composure) is to make this fight seriously, leaving the trickery aside, and even Eizan who cares about money and apparently nothing else seems proud, and at the end he will ask the judges evaluate without pretense two dishes, confident and pissed off at the same time, that can defeat Souma only her cooking that, and how many say down there, it's not a dump, even cheating it is the ninth accent, is no shit, and how can they forget that Souma drew with Isshiki in the manga from the beginning, it has not even gone through the experience now, and has lost pro only his father and pro Hayama that I can remember since arriving at the gym, then surely he will defeat the Eizan smoothly, because in cooking, the Souma, at present, equals at least the fifth accent elite of 10, even if it's role to some, to me it is natural, Souma made Erina in the first chapter, stick with the soft legs his plate, he's fucking yes, did not win this force of nowhere, it's been many flashbacks showing that he missed and lost many times to arrive where he arrived, so do not force the leadership, only a consequence.

So Eizan likes to break people's will, but when he can't, he's really starting to lose it himself. Interesting...

Rindou is really my fav material, but while she's siding with Azami, I refuse to like her.

This chapter somehow gave me so much more hope that the few last ones. Polar Star is fighting back. Souma is still keeping his poker face. Maybe it'll work out.

Now it's time to see if Eizan can actually cook! Probably yes, he's part of the Elite Ten after all...

After these last few chapters, Eizan's become quite a pathetic villain. The dense cooking front from Souma doesn't have much gusto this arc, and Rindo's intrusive play-by-play quips are killing the the tension while not being particularly funny either.

The recent chapters seem both high-paced, yet they're also flat, rushed and generic. It might have to do with the crammed panel count, dull poses, and constantly shifting perspectives, but somehow, the arc's fallen apart since Father's takeover.

At least the glass-less Eizan ending panel and Nakiri cover page stood out for impact and artistry.

btw I'd rather see Soma lose (which would be logical) than see him win because of a dumb or far-fetched plot twist.

Plot armor is what kills suspense, so I wouldn't be mad at all if Soma lost; plus, it'd be a very interesting development.
