Food Wars S5E7 Reactions: ok so magic and violence are allowed now(?) (ft. another megumi/soma parallel)

I’ve heard that there was going to be some weird stuff going on in the fifth plate of Food Wars, and now I finally understand. What the fudge with this “Cross Knives” ability?

Every character we’ve encountered so far has their abilities either explained or earned. Erina and Hayama have a mutant sense of taste and smell respectively; that’s weird, but still within the realm of belief. Every other chef either gained their abilities through trials (whether or not said trials are depicted onscreen). But an ability to copy a chef’s talent by stealing their tool? What sorcery is that?

It’s so aggravating, considering there is an explanation right there. 

From S4Ep6, Soma telling Saito how he won: I’m just a normal freshman, but I’ve competed with many different people. That might be why I’m able to come up with all these ideas. Everything I’ve learned from everybody at Totsuki helps me be where I am now.

Couldn’t that just be Asahi? Couldn’t him taking people’s tools be him pettily filching trophies like Mimesaka, and he’s an extraordinary chef because he’s put himself out there because of spite and vengeance? (That’s what I’m assuming his motivation is for now. I do think it’s interesting that season 5 is exploring Joichiro’s failings as a father--namely, the abandonment aspect.) 

The thing is, every antagonist to Soma represented something. Shinomiya was excessive perfectionism and refusal to learn from others. Mimesaka was the belief that a single failure can destroy the work of someone who was truly passionate. Azami was snobbery and the conviction that creative and beautiful food can only be made - and fed to - the ‘refined’. 

What the fudge is Asahi supposed to be if he’s magic? What is it that Soma has to overcome?

It is possible I’m judging too harshly. I’m only on the seventh episode. Maybe his ability will be justified somehow...? Asahi certainly doesn’t seem to have had the ability when he was training with Joichiro. (I can’t even with how he beat up [dueled i guess but they literally looked like they were in a brawl] the other Cuisiniers Noir, and how it looks like they’ve kidnapped Isami? I think this is the first time Food Wars had actually resorted into actual violence.)

What I’m actually afraid of is that, considering Asahi has a ridiculously superpowered ability, Soma is going to have a ridiculously superpowered ability to beat him. I’ve already read a criticism that Soma doesn’t seem to earn his victories in this season, and I think I might already be seeing signs of that. Whenever Soma beat an opponent, he usually attributed it to his growth in Totsuki. It’s his weirdness and love for ordinary ingredients and dishes that is attributed to his time at the diner (as well as a few key techniques). When he beat Sarge, however, Soma and his dad doesn’t chalk it up to what Soma’s learned this past year, but a sensational skill he learned during his diner days.

“Before Soma got into Totsuki, he was fulfilling challenging requests almost every day for 365 days in a year...It is important to have universality in order to do that, in addition to the ability to continuously create surprising new dishes.”

We already know that about Soma--we’ve had four seasons to watch him come up with fun and exciting ways to explore what gourmet food can be. But this quote is used to justify how Soma managed to best someone who by all rights should be far above his skill level.

This is weird. If that’s always been the case, how did Soma lose to Hayama, for example,  who’s closer to his own skill level? We know that a lot of Soma’s ability is from the baseline of skills he learned in his family’s diner; we know that in the beginning of his journey, those skills are enough to tie with one of the Elite Ten (Isshiki) when the latter was taking it easy. We know that the diner is where Soma gets his ability to be unorthodox. But anything beyond that has to come from his growth and Totsuki. Otherwise, his past failures would make no sense.

And the thing is an explanation for how he managed to beat Sarge was also just right there. 

Megumi in S1E12 on why she used allspice for her dish: All of you have been evaluating and eating a lot of dishes since yesterday. And allspice works to help with digestion, so...I wanted to serve something that would be easy to digest. (Dojima’s commentary: Although it was a battle, Tadokoro cared about the people eating her dish.)

Commentary on Soma’s dish in S5E7:

Megumi: ...Rice syrup is good for your health, so it has been used as a sweetener since ancient times.

Commentators: He didn’t use any sugar? Why did he go through all that trouble?

Soma: That’s because the people anticipating my dish are the three judges that are sitting at this table right now. Since it’s such a hot and stuffy summer day, I believe they would want to taste a more refreshing cake. If it were me, I’d also want to eat the same thing.

Soma has learned to not only impress the judges, but to care for their needs and comfort. Those lines positively screamed Tadokoro and her influence, and I really, really wanted the anime to point that out. He learned that from her! Their learning from each other is a two-way street! 

(Mini SouMegu plug: This is also why their pairing work so well thematically. They each have what the other needs. But maybe that’s another meta :P )

Also, on a larger scale, the attribution of Soma’s success to both his ingenuity, his work, and learning from his friends also works out a lot better thematically. How is Soma stronger than before? Not just because he polished his own skills, but because his friends are stronger and he helped them. Asahi clearly works alone; Soma works in community. If the Fourth Plate’s theme is about rejecting perfectionism and a “one true way” and understanding that food is for everyone, then the Fifth Plate can be about how craft grows when people grow together. Considering that it is the last season, it’d also be a pretty great theme to tie up the future, and it differentiates him from his dad by taking him a step further--Soma will understand that to keep growing as a chef, he’ll always need friends, both old and new, to keep sharpening him.

Why Souma and Erina make Great Foils but Terrible Lovers (ft. EiRin)

See, there’s a very simply explanation for this: they never got to be friends. And with the way the series has progressed, it’s hard to imagine that they ever will, even in the future. Let me tell you why.

Souma’s character development is fairly standard throughout seasons 1 and 2, but starts to get worse halfway through season 3, when the story becomes heavily Erina-centric. 

He wants to be the best, he wants to prove everyone in this uppity school wrong for looking down on diners and small scale restaurants, especially one of the first people he ever meets there, his examiner Nakiri Erina, who fails him just because he  presents her with a low class dish. Along the way we meet multiple side characters who help him grow on his journey, notably: Tadokoro Megumi, Isshiki Satoshi, Shinomiya Kojiro, Mimasaka Subaru, Hayama Akira, and Arato Hisako, who teach him various lessons that help expand his world view. There may be a few others but these are all the main ones that I could think of. 

He goes from no small scale is The Best Way to Hold Up maybe these weird rich people are onto something after all. His interactions with these characters put him in difficult positions from where he always learns something, and we as an audience get to explore Souma’s personality through the way he reacts. 

With Isshiki we see his willingness to fight and since Isshiki is one of the first people he comes to respect in the academy, the first person who’s cooking skill absolutely floors him, we see Souma immediately humbled but still eager to learn from his gifted senior. Isshiki becomes a sort of standard here, not a real rival. 

With Megumi we see his protectiveness, his courage that borders on recklessness and when he’s put into a situation where he has to let her take the lead and just support (during the Shokugeki at camp) we see him finally come to terms with the consequences of that reckless behaviour. 

With Hayama we see his deep competitive streak, and his willingness to put aside his pride so that he can learn from someone who he considers his rival (Takumi doesn’t  count  because Souma doesn’t take him seriously 90% of the time). This is actually one of his more emotionally intelligent moments, which is rare to see in a character with such a one track state of mind.

With Mimasaka we see him start to question what really defines his own cooking; although this plot point is explored further in later seasons, the shokugeki with Mimasaka is where the seeds are sown because he has to compete with someone who is essentially a perfected copy of him. We even get IMO one of his best lines here: “It’s almost like I’m chasing myself.”

With Arato Hisako we see him come to terms with the fact that he wasn’t trying to surpass his father all this time, but just chase after him, content to remain one step behind like Hisako had so often done for Erina. 

With Shinomiya Kojiro we really really see him humbled (during the stagiaire) as he finally gets the feel of what it’s like being in a gourmet restaurant, where he’s completely out of his depth in every possible way, but doesn’t let it stop him from pouring his heart and soul into ingraining such an experience. Here, we really get to see his passion for cooking and how devoted he is to his craft. We also get to see his first speciality.

So all the way through your the first few seasons not only do we see how brave, smart, eager and persistent Souma is, we also see by contrast how Erina is none of these things. 

Blessed with her God Tongue ability and trained in Totsuki curriculum since she could walk, Erina has a kind of overpowered superhero energy- she never really has to work for any of her victories, making her the exact opposite of Souma. She wins everything with incredible speed, barely breaks a sweat during hell camp and to top it all off, she’s the only freshman who’s considered a part of the Elite 10, essentially one of the best students in this entire school.

Even during her Stagiaire arc we see that Erina has no intention of adapting or learning anything from the industry professionals, (technically failing the second intention of the exercise but I digress), preferring to run the kitchen herself like a queen and deliver results- but she does notably learn something from Megumi here. 

Souma and Erina don’t really have a good relationship in these first few seasons, what with her general dislike of any food she considers not gourmet, the clubs she closes down, and with his constant struggle to prove her wrong but there’s something lacking in this dynamic that really hits home once we get into the third season. 

It’s clear in nearly every situation they’re put into, Souma at the very least respects Erina as a chef. She, however, does not. No matter who he wins against, Erina refuses to acknowledge his cooking, actively being against him competing in the Autumn elections and expecting him to fail at camp. Her opinion of him is so low that she subsequently loses respect for people who fail to beat him, i.e. the way she abandoned Mito Ikumi after her Shokugeki. 

All of this comes to a head when, during the third season, Erina is forced to accept Souma’s help by hiding out in the Polar Star Dormitory when she “runs away” from home. This is the beginning of her redemption arc, and the beginning of Souma’s really bad character development. 

Once we learn about her backstory, Erina’s behaviour is a bit more explainable, bad parenting and brainwashing takes a heavy toll on a teenager indeed and while everyone else is immediately sympathetic towards our main heroine, Souma is not. 

When Senazaemon straight up BEGS for his help, the LITERAL DIRECTOR of Totsuki begs for his help, he responds with an indeterminate way of handling things which was along the lines of: “...their family situation seems pretty wack but that’s none of my business. But at the same time I’m not going to abandon her either so dw.”

He basically leaves her in the care of the dorm, and let’s not forget that at this point he barely knows anything about Erina except for the fact that she’s really pretentious and a stickler for that gourmet life. There’s no friendship here, there’s a borderline truce at best. 

During the advancement exams we see Erina take front and centre stage as she coaches the other PSD students and friends alike on how to pass it, and while it does seem that Souma is also benefiting from this exercise, their relationship doesn’t progress much. So we can assume their truce is in effect. We don’t see her outright respect him as a chef, but we don’t see her put him down either.

Once they go up against the elite 10 and everyone fails however, the focus shifts entirely. Here we see Souma’s confrontation with the latest member of the Elite 10, Hayama Akira, and this is where we start drawing parallels to the fifth season. 

Souma and Hayama’s relationship during the Bear meat arc is very similar to his relationship with Erina during the BLUE tournament, albeit for different reasons. 

When Souma finds out how Hayama lost his home and fell into Azami’s clutches, his first reaction is to yell at him about focusing on the match. Similarly, when he finds out Erina’s reasons for participating under duress in BLUE, her mother, he comes off as extremely cynical and just mean about the whole thing. 

This behaviour is extremely tone deaf from a guy who we know has the ability to be kind and sympathetic when the situation calls for it. He’s been kind with Megumi, with Takumi, even with Hisako on occasion. So why is he being so insufferable here? 

Why is his character taking such a downward turn from the original arc?

Most of it can be attributed to really bad writing, tension for tension’s sake and all that but I can argue that isn’t really out of left field for him to be so unbothered. This is because of his relationship between the two people in question. Hayama Akira and Nakiri Erina are arguably the only two people in the whole series that Souma genuinely considers his Rivals, i.e, the only two people he’s hell bent on proving wrong or showing up. 

They are in his opinion, everything wrong with Totsuki; both extreme purists when it comes to cooking, while Hayama does creatively make use of fragrance, both with Hypersensitive Gifts that give them an enormous advantage in their respective fields, and both who fail to acknowledge him as a chef. Hell, the two even say really similar things when they first meet him: “You don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of surpassing me.”

In Hayama’s arc, he doesn’t take Souma seriously even after the autumn elections, relegating himself to top of the pyramid in line for the tenth seat after Erina, and sidelining the other two contenders: a fact that drives both Ryō and Souma quite mad. Even after he suffers crushing defeat during the Bear meat duel, he’s still completely unable to comprehend why Souma would go to such lengths, only for the other boy to turn around and tell him to his face that it was all for him. To beat him. For him to actually stop and recognise Souma as his equal, as his contender. 

This is one of the only two times where Souma goes out of his way to cool for a specific person, like his dad has been saying all along. 

We see this parallel drawn again in the fifth season where Erina, a chef he definitely respects, is pinning all her hopes on some magical dude who’s skill literally makes no sense (but I don’t want to talk about that), instead of trusting her own abilities which can definitely beat him. She’s undermining herself and by extension, him, and it irritates him because even After he beat Asahi, she doesn’t change. 

Obviously this is because she’s going through her own self doubt and abandonment issues but Souma doesn’t consider any of that, the same way he didn’t think about how losing the Shiomi seminar would affect Hayama either. 

So the second time he makes a dish for another person, to once again remind them of who they are (note: he used Hayama’s own subtract and emphasise technique in the bear meat), he uses Erina’s very first dish, the Eggs Benedict that she made at camp. This works, bringing Erina’s character development in full circle, she went from snooty elitist to bearable rich kid to someone so lost in herself that she’s forgotten what the core of her personality was: the actual culinary queen. 

Souma was always essential to Erina’s growth as a character, she wouldn’t have changed if it wasn’t for him- but Erina is only useful as a foil to him. There are lots of moments where instead of helping or giving any actually advice, she works as an instigator instead (note: Mimasaka’s Beef Stew arc) which doesn’t teach him anything on its own, but pushes him to learn from elsewhere. 

By sacrificing any possible harmony between these two, the story has continually driven the plot further than before; in fact, the show itself addresses this during the final Team Shokugeki battle between Souma and Erina against Rindou and Tsukasa, in season four. 

All throughout the season we saw what Rindou gives up for Tsukasa, so she doesn’t lose him: She votes for Azami despite deeply disagreeing with his views, she enforces the new curriculum even though she thinks it’s stupid, in the manga she even gives up the possibility of first seat just so she doesn’t get in the way of Tsukasa’s dreams! We never see her compete with him once, not even through booths during the Moon Banquet festival! 

But Rindou is an important part of his character arc nevertheless. She pushes him to grow as a person, to be more confident, to put more of himself in his food while he helps temper her otherwise fiery and impulsive nature. They compliment, not just challenge one another- there is a natural balance between them, which isn’t there for SouEri. 

That’s not to say they don’t have their faults too. Their relationship scales have been tipped with the introduction of Azami and we can see this clearly with the first and last meal Rindou is asked to make during the season. 

Her first match against Megishima had her make something that was 100% show stopper of a main dish, but when she was tasked to work with Tsukasa, Rindou was assigned the appetiser. Even though it was just an appetiser she still managed to add her own little signature twist (ants!), showing how even if she has to play second fiddle, she’s able to do it for Tsukasa. 

(This pairing was very well handled in season 5, where Tsukasa was relegated to the decoy as Rindou went and put an end to the Noir chef’s plans, but since we still got more screen time of Tsukasa it felt kinda like a cop out ngl.)

Relationships, like Set Meals, require understanding and compromise. In contrast Souma and Erina were a wreck of a team.

 I was actually very invested in this because this is the first time we see Souma actively not wanting to work with someone throughout the whole series. During the prior team battle, we see him, Takumi and Megumi flawlessly execute their respective dishes under due pressure without breaking a sweat, even borrowing one another ideas, so we know Souma isn’t disagreeable or anything. He’s perfectly fine working in a team or solo- but he particularly doesn’t want to work in a team with Erina. 

Souma even goes so far as to spell it out for the audience when he says, “How can there be any teamwork between us?”, and “This is a Shokugeki between me and You.” And for that most part that was true. They completely disregarded the aim, which was to create a Set Meal, and opted to instead create individual masterpieces- obviously they won because the food was just excellent, but it doesn’t change the fact that they were never a team. And it certainly doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t want them to be. 

He doesn’t want any kind of cohesion between them; she is his rival and that’s all there is to it. During the BLUE tournament this happens again, every time she seeks sympathy or understanding, that the others give her readily, Souma refuses to sympathise with or understand her. It’s not because he can’t- sure, he’s not great at comforting people, but he comforted Megumi to the best of his ability in season 1- but because he doesn’t want to. 

This hurts her. There’s no two ways about it. Erina almost never opens up. She never makes excuses for herself and always holds her food to the highest of standards, and the only few times she’s sought help are under extreme pressure situations but he still refuses to give up his prejudice. 

It sounds pretty bad at first but you have to remember that Souma tried to befriend her. In the beginning during the second season he admits that he can’t really get along with Erina because of her prickly personality and the awkwardness between them. While his relationship with Hayama improved marginally, Erina still continued to tsundere her way into distancing him from her quite a bit until her dad came along and flipped tables.

So for Souma it’s probably just flat out weird seeing Erina make such a drastic shift between how she normally is and her trauma response, and he straight up doesn’t want to get into why. He just wants her to go back to normal, all smug and critical so he can wipe the smile off her face with one of his dishes.

He cares about her as any normal person would but he doesn’t care about her feelings and she’s never really cared about his either. 

Souma’s chosen method of communication is FOOD. It’s his cooking that speaks for him 90% of the time, because that’s the only language he’s become fluent in under his Dad’s tutelage. If Erina understands this about him (doubtful), she doesn’t show it even once; she puts her pride above complimenting his food, even if it’s well deserved, and comes off as ungrateful solely so she doesn’t admit defeat. 

To be fair, she’s like this with everyone in PSD, so it’s safe to assume it’s just her personality- possibly even her way of showing affection, giving critique freely when it’s been something she’s paid to do. But with Souma it’s turned up to 100 and there’s barely any critique and a whole lot of pettiness. 

The way these two communicate is at such extreme odds of the spectrum that quite frankly it’s like they’ve been built to compete. Built to one up the other, but not really built to understand each other at all. It’s Pride and Prejudice forever. No middle ground between the two of them, which is ridiculous because the way to solve their problem is right there. 

In Souma’s mom. 

People who haven’t read the manga probably have no idea but Yukihira Tamako passed away from a terminal disease that was hereditary, leaving Souma and his dad all alone when he was around 5 ish. TERMINAL DISEASE. Literally similar to how Mana wasted away because of the God Tongue until she picked up and abandoned Erina and her father too. The answer was RIGHT THERE bro. 

If SnS had just had these two bond over their parents and going through similar experiences during season 5, the transition between rivals to begrudging friends to ohmygod-this-person-actually-understands-me-more-than-I-first-thought would have been iconic. It would’ve been a Zuko/Katara moment: the true enemies to lovers trope. 

But the author sacrificed all of that for the sake of the plot (and Asahi ig idk I hate him.) so the story just chugged on like it always did before a six month time skip and suddenly Erina admitting she loves him or something? How? From where???  When did that happen??? Did you just realise one day when you woke up?? 

How did Erina win BLUE in the first place- didn’t the castle explode??? What is even going on??? 

It would have been so EASY to fix the writing in season 5, because all you had to do was have them realise that they have more in common than they thought, and then have Erina act like a slightly more petty version of Ikumi (MY QUEEN) and you have yourself a solid foundation for a romance at least. 

Okay it doesn’t fix ALL the problems in their dynamic but it gives them a starting point to work with for sure. It’s not a relationship, but it’s not whatever the hell it was after the BLUE tournament either. I can even live with the fact that they basically threatened chefs with eating good food, so that they could report them to the police. I can live with that. 

TLDR: Anyway long story short, canon SouEri ain’t it. Have a nice day everyone.

JUST FINISHING UP FOOD WARS S4 AND HOLY SHIT SOMA & ERINA’s RELATIONSHIP IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL ;-;

[wishingforatypewriter]

Hi. Love your works! I see in your work you see Soma having a lifestyle similar to Erina. I guess my question is why? Im a huge sorina but im worried that soma will end up with Megumi because it seems at times he want a easy going small restaurant like his dad, and megumi fits that scene. But, im hoping he doesnt lolll just steady right away, I feel he needs more excitement before that, just wanted to know your ideas.

Hey, lovely anon! You pose a really good point. In order to answer your question, I may need to get into my perspective on Souma’s character arc. (I’ve never been particularly good at making meta posts, but I’ll try my best lol)

The way I see it, thus far in the series, Souma has been driven by one primary goal—developing his cooking so that he can surpass his father. 

Over the course of the plot, his perspective has shifted enough to allow for him to pursue secondary and tertiary goals—namely protecting his friends/classmates/dorm and reaching the pinnacle of the academy (represented by the first seat of the Elite Ten Council). 

While both of these objectives currently complement his primary goal, they also represent two very different aspects of his personality, and two unique trajectories that his life might take after he graduates from (or leaves) Totsuki.

In essence, I’d argue that Souma will climb as high as he has to both at the academy and in the gourmet world at large in order to surpass his father. However, after he has achieved this goal, he will have to make a crucial choice—will he return to his roots (a family diner and close-knit community like the one he grew up in) or keep climbing to the top of the culinary world?

So far the series has provided ample evidence to support either outcome (I might come back and insert relevant manga panels here later). However, I agree that the person he ends up with will likely correlate with the lifestyle he ultimately chooses to pursue. This is a huge part of why (at least at this point in the manga) I can easily see him ending up with either Megumi or Erina, the two female leads who essentially personify the potential paths. 

While I’m usually not a fan of the “Betty and Veronica” love triangle trope, in SnS I can see it serving a significant rhetorical purpose, one other than frustrating shippers on both sides.

(Short analyses of Soumegu and Sorina endgame scenarios under the cut) 

Megumi and the Appeal of Home & Stability 

At this point, I would say that whether one perceives their relationship as wholly platonic or potentially romantic, Souma and Megumi have one of the healthiest and most supportive bonds depicted in the series. 

Something that initially attracted me to SouMegu (which is actually the first pair I started shipping in the series) was the fact that out of everyone Souma has helped—a metric shit ton of people at Totsuki and beyond—Megumi has always been the most committed to looking out for him. I think this is pretty significant because like most shonen heroes, Souma kind of sucks at self-care, especially when he’s focused on a specific task or competition. 

She also seems to understand his personality and mannerisms better than most characters. One scene that exemplifies this took place during the Polar Star party after the AE preliminaries. Souma’s facial expression changed for a split second and Megumi immediately noticed something was bothering him and followed him out onto the balcony. 

It’s also implied in a number of scenes (most notably, the way he reacts to losing the shokugeki against Shinomiya during the training camp arc IN THE MANGA SPECIFICALLY) that Souma’s relationship with his goals and the amount of pressure he puts on himself can be potentially destructive. More than any other character, Megumi has the potential to alleviate some of that stress and keep him focused on what’s most important in life (from her perspective that would be friends, family, and the customers who enjoy his cooking).  

I agree that if Souma ultimately decides that he wants to return to the Yukihira diner or open a single restaurant with a similar atmosphere, it makes the most sense for him to end up with Megumi. 

However, as the manga creators seem pretty strongly inclined to make Sorina endgame, it seems unlikely that this is the path he will choose. 

Erina and the Elite & Unknown World  

While this is solely my personal opinion, I would say that if Souma and Erina end up together, he would undoubtedly end up in her elite milieu before she settled into the social sphere he grew up in. This seems to be the case for a couple of reasons. 

Firstly, Souma is inherently competitive and ambitious. Throughout his childhood and early adolescence, his competitions with his father were what drove him to keep producing new dishes. After he has surpasses Jouichirou, the same impulse that currently drives him to reach the first seat will draw him to new challenges—challenges that will only emerge if he is constantly among the culinary elite. 

Second, the Totsuki empire is Erina’s birthright and family legacy. Although some of her opinions have and will likely continue to evolve due to her interactions with Souma and other members of the 92nd generation, I cannot see her turning her back on haute cuisine because that is the world of her grandfather as well as Alice and the Denmark Nakiris. It also seems to be loosely implied that Erina will be Nakiri Senzaemon’s successor. Even if she fell so head over heels that she’d be willing to turn her back on all of that and work in a small family diner (very unlikely, in my opinion), Souma wouldn’t let her do it. 

Next, backing up a few steps, in order for Souma to catch up with his father in terms of experience, he will have to travel extensively. Erina is the love interest best suited to match (and even exceed) him in that jetsetter lifestyle. This is actually something that I imagine would become a point of contention if he ends up with Megumi.

Perhaps most importantly, Erina will keep him on his toes. Even if Souma reaches a point when he can outmaneuver some of the world’s most talented chefs, I imagine that he and Erina will remain evenly matched in terms of skill. If those two are always there to challenge one another, there’s no way that either of them will stagnate or become disillusioned with cooking.  

Finally, just as Souma went from seeing Totsuki is just a stepping stone to finding a home at the academy, if he is fully immersed in the fast-paced, cutthroat gourmet world, I hypothesize that he will like it—maybe too much to leave (especially if Erina is there).

Anyway, I hope that answers your question, anon! Have a great day, everybody! 

[wyvernseeker]

That sounds like a wonderful idea.

Translation: I don’t mind stepping on people for the sake of my granddaughter, wiping boots on their dreams of becoming chefs by making them clash knives with said granddaughter in competitions and lose to her which can cause them lose their self-confidence, and even probably zest for life, and have I mentioned that these people are teenagers? © Senzaemon “i’m an utter piece of shit” Nakiri

You know how it’s called when everything revolves only around one character, esp when this character is not the main protagonist, and when other characters exist only to make this character look better? Mary-fucking-Sue. 

Although no, I think the author created the whole new level of abyss “where mary sue becomes mary god” (с)

Honestly, NOW I can state with complete certainty that there’s a story with the ending worse than Naruto’s.

A quattrocento anni dalla caduta della civiltà moderna, il mondo è dominato da un caos di spade e magia.

Sotto la guida degli onnipotenti quattro re, l'Armata Ribelle delle Tenebre continua a espandere il suo potere nel tentativo di controllare il mondo cercando di far risorgere il dio della distruzione Anthrasax. Il regno di Meta-Likana al centro del Continente è attaccato dal mago al comando dell'Armata e per salvarlo Tia Noto Yoko (la figlia del gran sacerdote) deve decidere se far risorgere l'antico grande mago che una volta voleva governare il mondo, ma che ora è imprigionato nel corpo del suo amico d'infanzia Lucien Renlen.

Solo il bacio di una vergine potrà sciogliere l'incantesimo. Con la minaccia di un pericolo imminente, Yoko sfiora le labbra di Lucien con le sue e in quel momento un'energia oscura e potente si diffonde nell'aria. Torna così in vita il leggendario mago Dark Schneider, il personaggio più potente, sfrenato e affascinante di tutti!

@wcnderfulrush liked for a starter ~

                         “Wait, what? Yazawa-san wants a cook-off?” He had to raise an eyebrow at the seamstress the moment she mentioned about her fellow idol raving about beating him in the kitchen. At this point, everyone in the idol group knew about Minato’s profession in Chagall Cafe as a waiter and a chef; and while he hasn’t held up his end of the bargain for free food (much to Honoka’s despair for her wallet) he’s eagerly welcomed them to their ambiance every now and then. “What, has she read too many volumes of Shokugeki no Soma? Why does she want that?”

I don'tknow if you already answered this but do you have any anime recommandation?

i’ve never been asked for anime recommendations in my inbox before usually i just recommend some to ppl that message me or my friends irl but IM ACTUALLY REALLY EXCITED TO DO THISSS -

okay here are 15 anime i’ll recommend to you anonie :)

these are in no specific order 

1: Boku No Hero Academia - character develoment? check. Non-neglecting of side characters? check. Bomb af graphics? double check. Loveable best boy? yep yup. Great fandom that collectively hates Mineta? yesh

2: Diamond no Ace - sports anime that actually shows the struggles of different teams? yesss. epic scenes that are so great it could be a meta anime but it still retains the basic functions of baseball? huehue double yes. the mc is such a ball of energy and genuinely wants to be the Ace and has so much development as a character that you honestly start wanting him to get that number? yes yes yes yes yes

3: Nichijou - one of the greatest work anime has produced. really its so effing hilarious and it really pinpoints the things everybody does in everyday life. like flip a police officer for mistakenly confiscating your boys love manga. accidentally stabbing your thumb with a mechanical pencil, the struggles of ordering at Starbucks or even..

yeah.. ordinary life ha

4: Magi - a smol baby boy tryna bring peace to the world? check. fucking strong girl that can beat any kind of wild beast there is? heck yeah! magic? yup. loads of backstory that actually makes sense and relates to the arcs? checkity check. villiains that really arent villains and good guys that truly are the bad guys? ho boi yessss. a magical recorder? you got it. also the graphics are great

5: Mob Psycho 100 - another smol baby boy just tryna navigate middle school. blessed with amazing psychic powers but powerless in terms of popularity and friendships. truly such a great anime that teaches a lot of moral stuff and has A M A Z I N G fight scenes. our boy mob is such a freaking god and the art style is very different but so expressive 10/10 would recommend

6: Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou - [Daily Lives of High School Boys] like nichijou, this is another anime that is at the height of comedy gold. every episode is such meme worthy. the main protag really isnt the main protagonist, so many puns, great side characters, and i cant express how much of a feel good anime this is

7: Bakemono no Ko - okay this is a movie. and when i say this is such a fascinating movie, i mean it. this really smol boy gets adopted by a bear after he runs from home. this big bad bear™ is actually so pure and best dad. the uncles are great and so punny i cant. okay, they also have some really epic sword fights.. i really cant explain this movie without giving spoilers lmao but go watch it if you want, you wont regret it

8: Hunter x Hunter - young fisher-boy and young assassin-boy walk into a hunter exam together, who survives? friendship.. and the newly acquired dads they found along the way [honestly go watch it, i was skeptical at first but i never loved anything more in my life] also the arcs are so monumental, really great plot and friendship!!

9: Yuri On Ice!!! - edgy ice skating and gay couples that reaffirm what love is? check. little smol bean yurio tryna act all mighty and tough? yep. amazing soundtrack? heck yeahh! great characters that in no way hate on homosexuals? you got it. amazing graphics? best boys? well dang, you got it!

10: Shokugeki no Soma - food. food. food wars. great scenes that have food giving you orgasms? basically a sports anime but about food? great mc that really deserves all the love he gets. when they tie a bandana on their forehead, shit is about to get started. food. food. food wars.

11: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - as i write this, i cry. this was so good and i was wary of watching it bc there was/is so much hype around it but alas IT WAS SOO GOOD I CANT. like two brothers? amazing morals? the fact that nothing is as it seems? kickass female characters. alchemy. the hype is real with this one, but its so worth it and i 10/10 would lower you down FMA hell.

12: Katekyo Hitman Reborn! - [also known as Reborn!] i found this by mistake and my life really hasnt been the same. mafia story. first few eps are just comedic and really dont tell you jack shit about the storm thats coming afterwards. holy heck, a main character that set standards for how to demolish your enemies? friendship! fight scenes that make you wanna fite anyone? so many powers that actually make sense? checkity check. friendship!!

13: Bungou Stray Dogs - hidden powers that main character doesnt know about? check. good dad dazai. another mafia story. a mafia boy tryna kill the mc because of his powers and dazai has become mc’s dad instead of his [okay i’m trolling lmao] but really this is a great mafia anime. theories. villainous characters that have been blackmailed into being bad.. really it has it all

14: Haikyuu!! - small chibi boy just wants to play volleyball in peace. “i can jump™” meets skyscraper black-haired blue-eyed god who rules the court. [trollingg] but honestly, this has to be one of the most accurate sports anime i’ve watched. spiky main and side characters that are completely adorable and its kinda hard not to get sucked in, but you will

15: Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! - gamer dude dies [by mistake] and on his way to the afterlife, he’s given a chance by a goddess to go to another world and defeat the demon king. grants him the possibility of taking any one thing to this new world, my guy picks the goddess [fukin dead] and whoops there ya go lmaoo. but no honestly, its great and funny and the explosion/action scenes are beyond E P I C. also best girl, Megumin, is there so you should def check it out

— obviously these recommended anime are in my opinion. im not some anime god but thanks anon for giving me a reason to finally do this *finger hearts* —

Shokugeki No Soma

FUCK this manga!

I used to love this manga! It’s what really set me down the path of “manga about food must be pretty cool!” It got me interested in cooking more and had me trying stuff I never did! I loved the characters! The setting was neat! ... and then somewhere along the way, either the author or the editor got a mega-boner for Erina and the entire fuckin’ plot SUPLEXED ITSELF to make the least-developed, least-likeable character in the ENTIRE WORK the central focus! ... that’s not supposed to be a meta reference but it is now. It’s done, thank Primus, read it until the Fall Festival arc ends and then drop it like it’s rotten.

Top 5 ships (from any show/books).

Thanks for the ask!

1. Jon x Sansa “Jonsa”, Game of Thrones.I still remember when S6 aired and I was like omg why am I sobbing hysterically at these two coming back together, and hahaha bless my sad sorry resolve I tried to wait until they were confirmed cousins before I started shipping but I totally failed. A ton of meta, fanfics, art, and whatnot later, here we are!

2. Soma x Erina “Soueri/Sorina”, Shokugeki no SomaFor those who watch Shokugeki; I love these two because they act as such perfect foils for one another. They push each other to cook better, and that really is all one can hope for when aiming for culinary greatness!

3. April x Jackson “Japril”, Grey’s AnatomyLook. I am going to be forever bitter that they broke up in canon, because #drama. Sometimes, all I want is a wholesome marriage/relationship and these two have such goddamn potential for it, if the show writers would only open their eyes.

4. Steve x Natasha “Romanogers”, MCUNot gonna lie, I joined Tumblr because I shipped these two and wanted more content on them. Tumblr has not disappointed, and hopefully neither will Infinity War. XD

5. Zuko x Katara “Zutara”, Avatar: The Last AirbenderI think Zuko and Katara were my very first foray into the world of shipping. If anything, it’s certainly the first ship that broke my heart and left me quite unable to watch the last 10 minutes of The Last Airbender.

Others I love in no particular order: Betty x Jughead “Bughead” in Riverdale, Lexie x Mark “Slexie” in Grey’s Anatomy, Katniss x Peeta “Everlark” in Hunger Games, Bobby x Hunter “Huntingbird”, Gemma x Leo “Fitzsimmons” and Coulson x May “Philinda” in Agents of Shield, Arya x Gendry “Gendrya” in Game of Thrones, and Hisako x Akira “Akisako” and Ryo x Alice “Ryoali” in Shokugeki no Soma.

I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting right now. The point to take away from this is that I’m a big-as hopeless romantic who just wants everybody to fall in love and live happily ever after. XD

[yujachachacha]

Oh my mistake its anime MasterChef competition not Anime Food Wars Competition and You Watanabe is one of the participants and how do you feel about it?

Ooh, okay. I’m guessing you’re talking about this AMV then? That’s all I can find when I search for “Anime MasterChef 2017”, haha. You-chan and her Youkisoba appear at about 1:15, so I think this is right.

(This is in response to my #i really only talk about LL on this blog so what brought this on? tag on the Food Wars ask, I assume.)

Honestly, if it’s something recent that’s not LL-related, just assume that I don’t know about it. Like I’ve said before, LLS is really the only anime I watch these days. Subsequently, if I don’t know about it, I really can’t have an opinion on it yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, now that I’ve actually watched the AMV, I do have some opinions on it:

The contestants included an actual demon (Sebastian from Black Butler), professional cooks (Sanji from One Piece and characters from Shokugeki no Soma), nigh-indestructible aliens (Vegeta from DBZ and Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom), a ninja who has mastery over a bloodline skill that perfects his movements (Itachi from Naruto), and various other supernatural/superpowered entities. I had no doubt in my mind from the start that You-chan was gonna get her ass kicked.

However, I am touched that the video editor thought You-chan’s cooking chops were good enough to be included in the video. Then again, I can’t be too sure that the OP simply hunted for any and all recent clips of anime characters cooking something decent...

On a meta note: you only see You cooking for, like, less than a minute total in S1E10, and all she makes is yakisoba and curry. That’s definitely not on par with some of the food porn stuff out there in anime. Logistically speaking, there was no way the video editor would have had good enough clips of her to make her anything other than a small-timer participant.

The music used is PSY’s “Napal Baji” (lit. “Bell Bottoms”, as in the ‘70s-style flared pants), which I feel very “eh” about. Like sure, it’s an upbeat song, and it was recent and popular enough back then as well. However, I’m of the opinion that the song should have a little more meaning to the video other than just being a catchy backing track. Though, I’ve probably been spoiled by watching only award-winning, massively famous AMVs.

In short - meh, not a huge fan of this AMV. I’ve seen better.

very well said

SouMegu, the Shinomiya Arc, and what if it wasn't love?

Gosh I will write metas about these two for anything.

Anyway.

Because I ship them together, I'm tempted (and hey, I do) read into the first Shinomiya arc of the series, wherein Soma decides to throw his goals and education and reputation at risk in order to help Megumi win her position in Totsuki back. This is very important because he never does this ever again with anyone in the series. (Yes, he takes up challenges that helps others, but never again for the sake of another person, really; it is always to do with some form of ideology in cooking.)

In this one, singular act in the first season, he decides to bet it all for the specific, articulated purpose of helping his best friend (and if his outright saying it wasn't enough, he flashbacks to everything he'd gone through with her right before he gets angry and makes that challenge to Shinomiya). And he loses.

Here is how that episode ends: Him slamming his fist against the wall, muttering "I lost, I lost" over and over again. He genuinely expected to win. Even though Doujima's commentary makes the audience see this positively - what all of us need is the gall of daring to hope we can succeed - this crushing disappointment also bespeaks that he never actually thought he'd have to give everything up for this one person. If he did, would he have been willing to make that sacrifice?

My shipping heart would like to think yes. Megumi was his best friend. Of course he would, and the fact that he was willing to do this for her shows that she's special.

But the fact that he extricates himself from the solely personal problems of others from here on out tells a slightly different story.

I think Soma is genuinely a selfless and kind character (look how sweet he was to Hisako when he encouraged her to go back to Erina), but the Shinomiya arc finally slapped him with the stakes of what he's undertaken. He's willing to fail miserably and succeed gloriously for the sake of advancing his cooking - he's always known that - but is he willing to lose everything just for potentially helping another person? The answer, it looks like, is no.

So his way of getting around that is justifying every potentially selfless match as something to do with cooking--whether it's about ideology (Mimasaka) or finally defeating them and getting them to admit that his cooking is delicious (Hayama and Erina). In fact, when Erina's grandfather asks Soma to save Erina, he tells him flippantly, "It has nothing to do with me." He only promises to continue on his quest to make Erina admit his cooking delicious.

What does this all mean? Well, this argument--Soma never actually gets to the crux of the show, even as he professes it. The secret to good cooking is to do it for someone that you love. Devote everything you have to one person. He does this so early on in the series with the Shinomiya arc, but he didn't really grasp the totality of what it meant until its end and everything might've been taken away from him. So, interestingly, what his take-away from all this is a subtle form of ruthlessness; not nearly as cruel as any of the characters we face, but it is more damaging than one might expect.

The ending of Season 5, I think, is proof enough of that. If he was doing this ultimately for Erina, he would've been happy that she got what she wanted--her mom to approve of cooking, to find the joy of it again. That s the ultimate goal.

But no--he is the same as he was at the end of that battle in season one, only fixating to onto his failure to the point that it's unhealthy. Second Place in Blue doesn't matter to him, and neither does helping one of his friends reconcile with her family. Joichiro, his father, tells Soma he approves of his ability and that he will allow him to take over the restaurant and it doesn't matter to him. He literally cuts himself off from his friends without warning and travels abroad so he can hone the skills he things are desperately inadequate. It's played for comedy, but it's not funny. And it's the farthest thing from triumphant.

I like Soma's growth mind set--his belief that anyone can improve and get better and do the impossible, with enough work and creativity. But the shadow to that is if I didn't win, it's not good enough, and if it's not good enough, I need to work even harder, even harder than I had before, even if I have to leave a place that I've grown to love, even if I have to sacrifice it all in the altar of cooking. I honestly have to wonder where the line is for Soma between it's not good enough and I'm not good enough. That's never explored, though, and I think that's a pity, considering that a recurrent criticism I've seen of season 5 is his lack of internal development.

But here's the thing--such a mindset would require him to care about someone so deeply he is willing to lose the battle to win the war. He doesn't really have that in the series, and problematically the series seems to want to keep him as an (ironically) static idol of self-improvement.

Wouldn't such a development have been fascinating and foreshadowed, though? In that first arc, we meet a chef that is burned out. That's tired. That's why Megumi's dish touched Shinomiya so much--even though it was imperfect, he still felt the care she put into this dish, and that assessment is literally against what Totsuki stands for. Perfection is what a make dish good. Seeing the face of the chef, and all that. How does love make anything better?

But it does. And it snaps Shinomiya out of his rut.

Would that mean, then, that Megumi is the secret to getting Soma out of his? Imagine a Soma that was allowed to circle back--to realize in the end what he instinctively did at the beginning; that he is willing to put everything on the line for a person that he loves, not just to impress or defeat them, but to help them, to give them joy. Imagine a Soma that is willing to enjoy both his victories and his losses, knowing that throughout both he is loved all the same.

Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma Ending 2 Analysis

This post is just a general analysis of why Shokugeki No Soma’s Ending 2: Sacchan no Sexy Curry is clearly a reference to the existing relationship between the series’ main female lead Nakiri Erina, and her girlfriend loyal secretary Arato Hisako. 

Purely going off aesthetics, this is one of the few intro or outro songs in the series where the main protagonist, Yukihira Soma, is almost never seen or featured; instead the song begins with Erina traversing through a field of tiny white flowers on thin stems, which look awfully similar to Achillea millefolium, i.e. Yarrow flowers. 

Yarrow has traditionally long been associated with healing, new beginnings and more recently, love. It also has strong ties to Chinese Traditional Medicine, this is interesting since Hisako’s specialty is medicinal cooking. 

Most likely, this was done to symbolise the beginning of Erina’s redemption arc where she learns to let people in through her interactions with the main cast (possibly foreshadowing her seeking refuge at Polar Star) of the anime. What I found particularly interesting, however, was how she passed by everyone else and only stopped at the end, where Hisako was standing and waiting for her. This alludes to Hisako being the only person she can rely on– the only constant in Erina’s life. 

This is followed by a series of moments that these two spend together - cooking, playing, bathing - all of which we see through the eyes of one very stir crazy Sadatsuka Nao, further fortifying the previous argument that these two are always together, regardless of the occasion, and might even be one another’s only friends, prior to the anime beginning. 

This already holds enough evidence of a special relationship between the two, but now let’s go on to take a look at the lyrics of the song itself.

The first two lines literally translate to the following:

Dicing up the springtime with a silver knife, Which flavour of boredom did I dine on today?

It goes without saying that this is a clear reference to Erina’s God Tongue ability, due to which new tastes quickly lose their lustre, and the countless gourmet tastings she’s been subjected to since she was a child. Following that:

In a remote place like this, I was so happy to finally meet, Someone stronger than me.

“In a remote place like this,” relates to Erina’s period of isolation after her mother fled and her father was exiled, once she’d only just been rescued by her grandfather. Only after this did she meet Hisako.

We played with the same toys, separately - Days of gaining experience points and levelling up! I even achieved my own unique finishing move, But I'm still unable to fight...

After Hisako’s humiliating defeat at the Autumn Elections we get a glimpse into the lives of Erina and Hisako when they were younger. In the anime, they make it a point to emphasise how there was noticeable distance between them, even as children, and how Erina wanted nothing more than to close said distance, but was bound by her societal role to accept things as they were. 

The chorus then went on to say:

Don't grow up, Sacchan! Don't dye your hair brown, Sacchan! Don't get a boyfriend, Sacchan! My precious... my precious...

Admittedly, this threw quite a heavy wrench in my original analysis as I sat up and scoured the shokugeki wiki in hope of identifying this mysterious “Sacchan”. Some people thought it was Sadatsuka Nao, some thought Sacchan was Erina, and some just shrugged because this is an ecchi anime about food and did it really matter? 

After running through the full version of the song, I found my answer in the form of a stanza that hadn’t actually been included in the original ending. It was as the following:

So there was no Sacchan– just a Sachiko. Who was Sachiko? The name appears only once, in the manga that Erina was reading during the second season, right after Hisako’s resignation and during the Mimasaka arc, i.e. the shoujo manga she’d borrowed from her friend to come to terms with romantic aspects of her life. The main heroine is dubbed Sachiko.

Was the name just a coincidence? But more importantly, who was the metaphorical Sachiko of this piece? The symbolic main heroine of Erina’s own life?

I compared the Japanese written words for Sachiko and Hisako and noticed something interesting.  

The two names, Hisako ( 緋 沙 子 ) and Sachiko ( 幸 子 ) share the same Kanji, ko (子); particularly the spelling of Sachiko that means happiness. 

It maybe a bit of a reach but I think this is a subtle nod to Hisako being Sacchan, and an indication of how Erina really saw her friend during their time together growing up - as someone who would grow up and leave her behind (again possibly foreshadowing the Stagiaire arc, where Hisako left her on her own). We also can’t forget how Erina was unable to stand up to her father in the very beginning of the third season, when Hisako was concerned, and was fully prepared to live without her as though she’d been expecting this to happen at some point.

This just makes it incredibly sweeter (during the ending sequence) when it is Hisako who is waiting for her by the edge of the river; Hisako who will not move on without her, even when the rest of their friends keep growing and changing and Erina herself can only walk in the opposite direction. 

The song is her love letter to Sachiko who she desperately tries to keep with her, her very first friend, her happiness– only to find that even though she cannot stop her from going; at the end of the day, Sacchan will always be waiting for her on the other side.

[note: Erina shows growth from this mindset in the third season, during their Advancement Exams where she tells Hisako that she’s allowed to leave and do stuff without her.]

TLDR: Sacchan no Sexy Curry is a love letter from Erina to Hisako, you can’t change my mind. They’re lesbians, your honour.
