| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Haha, what's with those food outfits and the power ranger gimmicks? Oh God, this episode's first half was priceless. Kuga and Souma's rivalry was pretty noticable.  The episode was alright although I hope the pacing picks up more. They're still building more into this season and it was kinda fun seeing Megumi getting in a much more confident mood compared to before. Proud of Souma's team :D |
 |
| 4 episodes just to see the obvious: Yukihira winning his rival with the rival speciality (and making it better). As most of times, so its not sorprise. |
| Man, I absolutely loved this episode! Seeing Soma's plan come to fruition was great but my favorite part was the other characters coming to help out Soma. Random clubs, Mimasaka, the Aldini brothers, and Nikumi all showing up was great. As always, the animation was on point and music was fantastic. Probably one of my favorite episodes of any of the seasons thus far! |
| Next episode , Azami appears |

| This episode gave me tears upon tears of joy Seeing all of Nikumi, Mimasaka, the Aldini's (I'm proud of how well they're doing too) and everyone else that helped come to Souma's gave me the most feels and I couldn't help but smile and get excited This kid is truly one of my favorites MC's to ever come out of WSJ and this episode proved why he's one of the best and it is because of him that I am so proud and happy to see that he beat Kuga and his arrogant looking ass Amazing episode and I'm also happy for Hayama and Alice too and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from Erina and the Seat Rank 1 guy's stalls now :) P.S. Even though I love Erina and I still ship her with Souma, Megumi proved once again that she truly is best girl :'') |
| That was fucking amazing. So feel-good, it made me so hype. Seeing Mimasaka come in with his profiling and being the one who got the key by Souma made good sense and could be obvious but i didn't see that coming. There's some respect between these two now. Then Nikumi comes in after she already helped Souma in the Karaage arc. Takumi coming in to help his rival so he can stay at Totsuki so he continues to have his big reason to cook in his academy. Him acknowledging Mimasaka's skills was a nice payoff. The lanterns looked really good, made for a nice atmosphere in this little open air restaurant. Also the scenes after the credits were nice. Erina being visibly dere for the first time. |
| this arc is a little boring, from that point... Kuga is boring antagonist, hes appearence are really repetitive as well always without much more point than last one, also i can't see how he lost in sales given he should still be able to manage more ppl, the best part gotta be Alice with our 2 boys, as Hayama smiled, Sensei should've joined them there:) |
| Great episode again,loved the teamwork displayed here,the feels were strong. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I'm glad that Souma finally made Kuga-senpai eat his dust, that guy was getting beyond irritating with his bravado. |

Oira_yukihira said: ughhh.... I really appreciate but feels so unusual with this episode's pace. well, still funny and manga is better for me. for ANIME-ONLY watcher, there's Hayami Sho's debut in next episodes and the amazing "dark" show will begin, so stay tune ! rate : 9/10 OMG Hayami Sho is the one voicing Azami?? Awesome! This is going to be epic! |
 |
| Yay finally ;-; (manga reader here). Love how this got animated. |
| I really wanna try that bun or Curry noddles Souma makes. where can I buy it? well now, it looks like the shit gonna be real next week. it's like Megumi gonna be raped in this scene, lol |
| I am always wonder how Mimasaka don't get any trouble with police? heck he fully stalking anyone for his perfect trace even now just walk away from Souma's house without any Souma's acquaintance report him. Anyway soon very soon Rindou and "that man" coming. |
| Into the Internet! |
| Another top quality episode. Next episode the real stuff will begin. Hyped asf :) |
  |
| THAT WAS AWESOME. Forgot how fun this series was. I guessed it was Mimasaka from the silhouette last episode, but seeing everyone join was so much fun! I also really enjoyed Kuga's VA. |
 |
| Good episode. Souma and his team did it. I liked how everyone helped out Souma and Megumi. It was nice to see. Just like Nikumi once said, Tomitaya and the Don RS guy are similar. |
 |
| Souma's plan finally takes off and help arrives :) Taiwan dishes lure in tons of people who are sick of waiting. |
 |
| Can someone tell me if Rindou's restaurant is El Fuego, because she always appears when they say "El Fuego" Just say yes or no, i don´t want that much spoil xD Thank you! |
 |
| I had a feeling the mystery person Souma talked to last episode was Mimasaka, and it looks like i was right. It was good to see him help out Souma after their little conflict last season, and i like how Nikumi and the Aldini brothers also chipped in. It was very satisfying to see their collective effort in beating Kuga. Alice, Ryo, and Hayama constantly had problems but it was nice to see that they were able to bounce back using 3D printed chocolate (interesting concept). Looks like Erina set aside a table for Souma's dad, but he unfortunately (yet expectedly) didn't show up. These goddamn manga readers keep hyping up the next arc so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Another great episode. We finally see Soma's planning come to fruition as he adds the final touches to the items on his menu, along with seating and him getting the help from his friends to beat Kuga on the final day. It was very enjoyable to watch and now this are gonna get pretty serious from here on out and I'm excited to see it all unfold. Can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| All that thank to Mimasaka-kun, he's ma man. First place, I expected that to happen. ~ 4/5 |
  |
| I have been waiting for this episode since it happens 2 years ago. It was an amazing adaptation and the OST was great.Glad to see Subaru, Nikumi and Aldini's brothers come to aid Souma... |
| Really epic episode the power of friendship beats all, can't wait till next episode. |
| Rindou just stuffing her face throughout this entire festival, lol I LOVE IT! I'm just waiting for her to be more involved this season. Yo my girl Nikumi coming to the rescue!! So good. And the Aldini bros? Thats awesome. Loved this episode. |

| It's very satisfying to see Kuga's cocky smile wiped off his face when Yukihira's stall made more money on day four of the festival. =3 It was really good to see how Yukihira's stall has grown on each day. Now, with multiple bench seats and the pretty lanterns surrounding the area, it makes his stall look very impressive. Same goes to everyone who helped him and Tadokoro in making their stall popular and keeping up with the growing demand for his food. Next episode is where a certain character will appear and the other manga readers are already hyping the next part of the arc to bits. JC Staff did a great job overall with this arc, so I hope they nail the next arc too! =D |
| Best episode yet. It really captures what this show is really about. And the twists were good as well. Still, I'm kinda surprised this whole arc barely lasted 4 episodes. Excited to see what's next! |
| Yeah buddy! I'm glad Souma got the top sales today. But of course, Souma won't match in terms of total sales over the entire week...or will he? |
| God this anime hyped me so much! Love it Seeing Souma and Megumi starting to get on track is making me happy Ugghghghgh my friend she refuse to watch it tho, so I have no real life friends to stan wilts 😔😔😖😖😩😩 |

| I know Souma won thanks to the efforts of all his friends (who was a very awesome scene), but Mimasaka's role in this was the highlight for me. This guy is awesome, creepy and hilarious at the same time, I'm glad he developed into a better person respecting the previous season. I also had the feeling the previous episode the person whom Souma gave the key was him, and, well, I was right xD |
 |
| There was just a feelgood factor about this episode. It was so awesome seeing some of the crew teaming up to help Souma, whilst my favorite OST was playing in the background. Hype train rolls on! |
  |
| It was nice to see everyone working together at the end. Poor Kuga lol Based Mimasaka!  |
 |
| The are little changes in the OP. The changed the cute/sparkly face of Hisako (right before when Souma streched out his hand to her). It was looking odd before. When Souma walks in fire, he slightly tilts a bit to his left side, they straighten him. |
| 'Ask her to wait a moment— I am almost done.' - Carl Friedrich Gauss ( When told, while working, that his wife was dying). |
| The power of friendship prevails. Shocker. Poor Yugi. |
| Man, this episode remided me why I loved this series in the first place. Really miss not having a rival in real life anymore. |
 We can only have good tea while we're alive. |
| Pretty neat idea to incorporate the melting gelatinous curry ball in the meatball to resemble the moon. Quite appropriate for the Moon Banquet Festival Arc. It's also easy to see Soma has been utilizing all of his experiences shown thus far with every subsequent new dish; with the melting gelatin from the very first season's egg dish during the entrance test, to the curry spice burst of aroma he gained from the Autumn Election arc. Though all of his previous connections he's made and a bit of luck heavily contributed to his success--both essential qualities to any business. If only colleges prepared students for the real world as good as this show's fictional high school. Even though I already ate while watching this episode and am totally full, it still makes me hungry for what they're making. |
| Seeing that Time Fuse Mapo Curry Noodles makes me hungry. lol Mimasaka practicing in the Yukihira diner and then performing exactly like Souma to help his booth was funny! Kuga may have an army of bald students, but Souma has the Autumn Election participants to back him up. Their personality and cooking talents really helps him a lot to finally beat Kuga at least once in sales. Alright, things are finally going to get serious soon for the next episode. Very excited! |

That small wooden booth turned out to be such a nice-looking restaurant :) It was great to see all the friends he's made along the way helping him out! But it seems like Kuga is still holding off on his trump card until the very last day... |
| Great episode! Souma's plan was brilliant xD I really liked the role given to Mimasaka for the situation ^^ Kuga finally noticed how dangerous Souma can be :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| seeing Mimasaka use his copying technique to help Soma was really awesome! I love to see everyone working together! |
| Awn this episode surely put a smile on my face. Seeing all of them working together is really pleasing and seeing Kuga getting defeated is even better lol. But poor Megumi, goes to a super famous cooking school to become a waitress... |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I'm just now noticing how often anime oversexualizes the dark-skinned girls. Nikumi is the only one with her boobs bouncing all over the place, lol. The other girls are hardly sexualized at all. |

Even though I love Erina and I still ship her with Souma, Megumi proved once again that she truly is best girl :'') My thoughts exactly, this episode was just fantastic. The entire thing was just beautiful. I was smiling the whole time as Soma made his comeback. Seeing the Aldini bros, Nikumi and Subaru help Soma and eventually all work together to beat Kuga made me tear up. Such a heartwarming yet really exciting episode. Plus like you said, this episode stand as proof for why Soma is such an excellent MC. Also, I knew that he was gonna use the long wait times for Kuga's restaurant to his advantage. I also love the part where he just straight out challenges Kuga saying he's been serving customers for 10 years more than him. xD Rindou's smile makes me wonder if she predicted this might happen. |
