Ooh, the competition is really getting fired up now.

The episode is alright but I wish they sped through the first half with the buildup. Still, I am glad that we finally got the revenge match between Akira and Souma. This is one of the rivalries that I looked forward the most considering their talent and personality.

The metaphor of their challenge met my expectations with the boxing. Definitely worth waiting for this episode as Akira is one of my favorite characters in the show.

Great episode as always.

We got a quick little flashback on how Hayama ended up as one of Elite Ten.

The Twins are pretty cute and I like how Alice's Dad is the judge as well. He's a pretty doting father though. XD

Wouldn't a fried bear dish be called Fried Bear and not Fried Chicken Bear? xD
Well Hayama did refer to it as Fried Bear at the end so cool I guess. XD

Soma did quite well but how is he gonna stack upto Hayama?

Hmm Akira joining central was indeed a surprise so i don't blame soma for being curious. So that was Akira's reason huh. The coat trio team is such a catchy title. So its not just Soma but all the rebels that will be facing the e10 huh. The judges for Soma's match though sure was unexpected. Alice's father huh. But he sure is a doting father. The battle between Soma and Akira sure was intense and i loved the allusion to a boxing match. Soma's dish sure looked amazing but im curious to see what Akira has up his sleeve.

Hands down best episode so far.

I was looking forward to this since it had one of my favorite moments. Doujimas retelling of the circumstances behind Hayama joining Central and Souma confronting him were done sooo well.

The showdown itself delivered too ,should get even better next week,I'm hyped.

Btw I didn't know that Berta and Sheila are blonde,so that kinda surprised me.

I've always liked the metaphors that are thrown in during the cooking battles, and the one in this episode was pretty good as well.

Souma's dish impressed the judges but now we have to wait and see how it compares to whatever Hayama has up his sleeve.

Best episode of the season so far and it feels like it’s only gonna get better from here . The first episode was also great but other than that the other episodes didn’t have alot of hype to them but this episode delivered and it feels like it’s finally getting into gears . We need more Erina and Alice greatness tho .

Im honestly sorry to those expecting Yukihira to win against Hayama. Everyone knows that in the Shokugeki universe, "he who serves their dish first, finishes last". Yukihira has no chance XD.

This is so intense! All-out fight after Hayama and Souma showed all the improvements he made since back then, let's see who ends up becoming the winner.

Gotta love Nassan, he might look menacing, but he sure as hell loves his daughter and wife! And we got some more Dojima manservice, too good.

Finally the battle is upon us. The reason why Hayami joined Central was revealed. The director played his mind games well.

I think the pacing could be a bit better in the first half. Those ingredients really look top tier. I liked the contrast of using a boxing fight for them, Souma needs his revenge. Soma with a beautiful looking dish. The jury reactions were orgasmic . Can't get enough of that.

Episode ending with Hayama showing his dish. Things look bad for Soma. This episode was entertaining.

weeew!! just like the prev. episode, I dont know the direction of this episodes is only spending 3 chapter in manga(usually 4 or 5)
well, as a manga reader, I found the only one main reason why this season of Shokugeki no Soma is always panning shots just now. if you asking me what is it, then my answer is : The Soundtrack itself.
Q; why?
me: look at the pans, everytime you see the movement or the explanation or the conversation between the characters are always playing with OST/soundtrack. the OST is very good or better in dramatical vibe than before but it doesn't carrying the humorous vibe from manga because so many cutting and changing the manga panel in anime version, fortunately the animators didn't cut too much the conversation and explanation at the main plot from manga, glad for that.

so,I think "cutting and change" the plotline isn't the same thing with "making the alternative plot"

IMO, IF the animation just keep better than before, manga version is still looks better than anime.

tbh, I don't know the reason about the dropping quality in character visuals but at least the methaphor from the food trivia is bringing up well in this episodes.

ratings : 8,5/10

It was an ok episode. We get some insight on what happened to the research facility and Hayama since we last saw him and what Azami did to force him to be part of Central. Then we get their match and the bear food looks dope. Since Soma served first, we'll have to wait and see how Hayama's dish stacks up.

Oh my, Berta & Cilla's foodgasm with the sexy bear-style bikinis was VERY delicious. Naughty, but sexy, I must say! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The pacing for this match, along with the build-up has been very good. We get to see the reason why Hayama joined Central in the first place, with his and Jun's lab being shut down by the sly bastard, Azami.

Apart from the sexy foodgasm, Berta & Cilla were entertaining and cute, from their constant bickering with Kuga, to going lovey-dovey at Yukihira after they tasted his dish.

Nassan, on the other hand, looks like a badass and his foodgasm consists on him striping his upper body while an explosion happens behind him, giving him that GAR vibe. However, he does have a soft side when it came to speaking about his wife, Leonora and his daughter, Alice and be transformed into a doting father, bless him. =)

If the pacing is right, then the conclusion to the match with be shown next week, along with the other matches too. Looking forward to it! =-D

Azami is such a prick! Finally got to see Hayama's reason to join central.

Domesticated Bear Girls... We go from Horse Girls to Bear Girls, Spring season has it all... Berta and Cilla were so adorable to watch.

This battle sure is fierce between Hayama and Souma, a tightrope fight where one mistake, can make you lose it all.

Judges seemed very impressed about Souma's dish... but that cliffhanger, gotta wait another week to find out who the better of the two is. Bring it on!

Hopefully we also get to see how the rest of the rebels have done against the other Elite 10 members next week. Best girl Megumi better win!!

Boy, Nassan really reminds me of Maes Hughes from FMA with his obsession over his wife and daughter :D

Episode was nice, got some backstory on Hayama and their match started. I'd really like to taste bear meat after this. All this talk about that smelly flavour really made me curious.
But Souma sure is brave serving his dish first, when everyone knows that it's a bad omen in the world of SnS :D

So Hayama's reason to join Central was due to blackmail by Azami. Souma's revenge match finally begins.
Among those judges, Soue Nakiri sure is a doting father and husband. The twins, which one of them sounds like Umaru, are cute and funny. From their fight with Kuga to the "domesticated" in bear outfit scene.

Quite like the metaphors throughout the match.

"I was forced into an alliance with Azami, and instead of just trying to accomplish my goals. I'm also gonna be a douchebag to everyone, cause why the fuck not?" --- You know what? Fuck this logic, and fuck Hayama too.

More comedy and chibi undermining the drama. More explaining about ingredients, their "history" and all that bullshit. More rambling during cooking. More overreacting bullshit. I just can't anymore...I'm forever done with this anime. Dropped.

Can't believe we will have to wait another week to know who won... But i hope Souma will have his revenge this time.

Normal anime: "Next week you will see how ended the battle"
Shokugeki no Souma: "Next week you will see what dish he cooked" xD

I knew it, Akira would never betray his club.

ehem, that said, shouldn't they put Hayama first then soma? I mean, it's like the rules the second one to serve has the better food lol. Then again, they still havent tried Soma's food with the sauce on. probably after they try Hayama dishes and say hayama is better, then Soma gonna say to try his food with the sauce on and then the comeback begins lmao.

It was a pretty good episode, definitely better than last week's slideshow of an episode but the downgrade in Animation quality from the first season is pretty evident.


Even when I read this part in the manga, I didn't understand why the mangaka made Hayama act like a dick, actually he didn't act like this, like he was still aloof but he feels worse here.

Yep, Hopefully we're wrong because if not this show is going to get very repetitive.

But yeah they're gonna love his until Soma pulls something out of his ass and sticks it on his food. Whatever they bite last always wins so just keep adding shit to the food.
