Senzaemon: Now both teams will taste each other's dish and this will signal the end of this fight!

Senzaemon then tells the students to point to the dish that was superior. Soma and Erina point at Team Dojima's dish and Takumi and Megumi point at Team Saiba's dish.

The crowd is slightly panicking as the "God's Tongue" is pointing at the opponent's dish. Erina says that the taste, the smell, and the visual impression of Team Dojima's is in extreme high quality. In contrast, their dish isn't on the level, and she regrets that they didn't have enough time to taste their own dish beforehand.

But Takumi doesn't agree with Erina's words. He then goes on to describe Team Saiba's Hachis Parmentier

Soma realized Jouichiro's intent to wrap up potato into the Crepe Dough, so Soma used cheese, potato and Chirimen Jako to make a "Pomme Galette" and wrap that into the crepe. Which brought both "softness" and "crispiness" that one would usually not be able to taste in a Hachis Parmentier. Additionally, Erina's steak cooked with Bordeaux wine were sliced into the shape of a dice and then wrapped up into the crepe.

Erina then explains that it was a thought process she never had but Soma, Megumi, and Takumi praise Erina for showing a lot of joy while cooking, which makes Erina blush. Senzaemon has a big smile on his face.

Sezaemon: In order to have perfect teamwork in the Regiment De Cuisine, it is hugely important to realize the strength each team member has. The numerous challenges one needed to overcome to reach this stage...And you all were able to once again reaffirm this now...Looks like our first objective has been achieved with this fight!

Senzaemon: It was a very interesting dish Erina! You looked like you had a lot of fun!

Erina: (You as well, Grandpa!?) It's just that the two provoked me into this. Usually, I would never do such a thing...

>>153491942
Senzaemon: Yes...That's how the both of them always interacted with each other. It must be a part of their life to fight like that. That's why in this fight, he (Soma) was able to present his dish to Jouichiro without any fear!

Erina: ...But how can someone do that to their parent....I would think that such act would cause trouble, and I would refrain from acting like a spoilt child...

Senzaemon: Why don't you act like a spoilt child for once?!

Erina: ...Grandpa?

Senzaemon: You two are father and child...You also have to learn to act occasionally like a self-centered child, Erina.

Senzaemon's words make Erina think

Next Day: Azami, Tsukasa, and Rindou gather at the meeting place.

No one can deny that Souma & Hisako's chemistry was great during the stagiaire arc. Sadly Erina has the same plot armor as Chitoge in Nisekoi, the other girls stand no chance.

>>153493613

Pretty sure Chitoge only took 1st in the very last popularity poll and came up short in all the other ones

But doesn't Hisako automatically come with Erina?

>>153493627
Since the very one-shot everyone knew Chitoge was going to win. I honestly don't conceive how can exist people who genuinely believed other girls had a chance.

I honestly can't think of any way to make her relevant.

>>153493704
>>getting rekt by an Elite makes you fodder

Yep even more so since the Elites will be falling soon as well and to the likes of Megumi/Takumi on top of it all

>>153493613
As much as I like the Souma and Hisako relationship, I can't see it going romantic. Maybe because I know Hisako is too much into Erina and I saw their moments during the stagiaire arc more like bff rather than something close to lovers. Although I do agree, it has a pretty good base to go from there into romance but we already have confirmation that Erina will fall for Souma and the whole "find someone you want to cook for".jpg thing. Plus, Erina and Souma have a pretty good interaction too so far but I guess this depends on the reader and if they ship them.

Hisako needs to emancipates from Erina. One thing is being a friend, but other very different it's being a minion. She is a lot better than that.

Would be awesome if Tsukuda choose another girl instead of Erina in the end. I'd lol so hard.

>Would be awesome if Tsukuda choose another girl instead of Erina in the end. I'd lol so hard.
You know the next candidate after Erina is Megumi right?

And although I do agree Hisako needs to stop being so revolved around Erina and be on her own, at the same time part of why she is also so great it's because of Erina. She will always care a great deal about her and there will be times she puts Erina above herself.

>>153493856

Given that Souma, Aldini and Erina seems to have somehow evolved their designs throughout the manga, if Megumi beats an E10 and graduates to second year. It'll be interesting to see if Tosh gives her a more confident style.

For those wondering why Hisako & Alice are so high.
It's obviously because in the last poll they were only apart by 1 vote.
So each character's fags, especially those who didn't vote for them in the last poll, think "This time, I will not let down my waifu!"
Hence, the result.

>>153497896
That pic was from a Doujin and it was great :)

>>153495894
I mean, I don't think it's a coincidence that the most prominent characters from this arc are the four most popular characters from the last poll.

Combine that with how unpopular most of the cooking matches have been and it's not an unfounded worry.

People don't exactly hide the fact that they only read this because a doujin artist is drawing cute girls acting cute and don't give an iota of shit about the actual cooking.

>>153497920
As it should be

>>153498002
Honestly the manga suffers a lot from the lack of colors. That's why I loved when they started releasing the color versions.

A cooking manga without being able to aprecciate colors lose a lot of its charm. In fact, I started to ignore the preparations and all the chit chat about the cooking because actually I give a fuck about the final product. I just wanna know who will win.

>>153498002
>Souma, Erina and Megumi are the main characters.
>Takumi is the least flashed out of Souma's rivals.

I mean sure, there are a lot of popularity conspirations but it just made sense to me.
Anyway I believe the manga would be alright as long as there is nice interactions with literally any character than long ass shitty battles.

>>153498179

>>153491958
This is pottery in a way.
Bitch Erina was the daughter who simply did as her father told while miracle Erina is the spoilt child who has to go against her father.

>>153498201
That's my point, the main gimmick and draw of the manga is arguably it's least popular selling point.

It wouldn't be out of reason for them to just shift focus on it being a romantic comedy because it's literally guaranteed to sell because of the good character interactions like you said, in addition to all of the cute girls.

>Shokugeki becomes a romcom.

RECOUNT THIS

>>153498928
Be thankful she somehow got in.

>>153496679
Just part of the natural evolution when she becomes an Elite 10 member.

Or she suffers a "Jou" moment and decides to take it out on a shit tier chefs thinking they're better than her.

Anyway, be honest guys; who here actually cares about the upcoming team match or are you just waiting for all of this stuff to end and we can move on?

I can definitely see the series going back to smaller scale SOL arcs like Staigiare and Karaage with added addition of Erina being apart of the group now.

>>153499241
I'm hoping for both things. I lime the charactes who will part of the shokugeki and want to see the E10 doing shit.

And of course I'm eager to come back to comfy. But wouldn't the four of them be an elite for after this? Maybe we would get into that and how it works inside.

>>153499319
Becoming an Elite 10 member would be a massive shift in the status quo; I don't see it really sticking desu.

>>153499241
I usually like the matches but I'm not engaged with the current arc.

>>153499352
They'll vote to abolish the elite ten so nothing like that can happen again

Watch

>>153499319
This will make them E10 tier chef but doesn't necessarily means they become E10. Iirc they didn't bet any seat in this upcoming match and there's still E10 exam test that they need to take just like in jou's flashback

>>153499319
They're very far off from being Elite10 members. Literally every character that is going to get a seat needs to be developed a lot more especially Soma who wants the first seat.

We also need the other future Elite members to have their future battles on-screen like Megumi, Erina, Alice etc because it will show readers how much they've developed and that they really do deserve an Elite seat. We've been getting constant Soma batttles back to back so we really need more focus on other characters.

What's the appeal of Megumi/Takumi? I've seen people claim it might actually happen and I need proof.

You can show interest in girls without doing shit that would warrant you being expelled. Souma just doesn't show romantic or sexual interest in any human being.

>>153501053
>Male character isn't a horndog who wants to fuck every girl in sight.
>Clearly he's gay.

To be entirely fair, a teenage male character being mostly uninterested and and oblivious to the opposite sex is somewhat out there, but that's mostly because Japan are a bunch of prudes when it comes to romantic relationships.

>>153501268
This would make sense if we didn't have other characters who clearly have feelings for him and others display them and not get expelled
Souma is beyond dense

>>153491919
>Soma and Takumi not top
Holy shit, this really has turned into a best girl contest

>>153502712

>>153502771
I think females just gave up.

>>153503118
I am still here but I am an Erinafag.
Takumi is one of my favourites and I am sad to see him so low.

>>153503168
He has the largest gap between where he was and where he ended up. From 3rd to 8th, and beaten by a character who debuted recently no less.

>>153503228
Yes, I don't understand. It's not like he didn't get some focus during the whole fight with Kuga or even recently. He is a nice guy overall so I am not sure from where this heavy falling in the ranking comes from.

>>153503168
I like him too but I kinda expected it, all the others have something to back their position while Takumi is getting relevance just now even if he got such a high position. That's why I think popularity is horseshit anyway since he was a really popular character and still never used by the author.
If anything he is still on the top three boy and above the rivals.

>>153503373
Increase of waifufags and a decrease of girls and fujos, I guess. That would explain the lower positions the boys got compared to the girls in this one.

>>153496270
>19. Yoshino Yuki

What the fuck

>>153495061
That really makes sense.

>>153503373
Erina has her big arc, both Hisako and Alice were part of it, Megumi is always there, Shino has Etoile and Rindou is a new flavor that makes everyone hard.

Takumi and Meat are the ones there who don't have much going on, even fucking Pajeet with his shitty arc. So I just think he needs more focus and that is what the author is doing right now, and he is doing it good so far his chapter was great and he is getting closer to more charactes which he really wasn't.

>>153496253
It's funny what you guys define as character development.
All she has done is blush more.

>>153503373
It's a combination of a lot of factors; since this is Erina's arc, her being first isn't unprecedented and kind of expected.

Alice and Hisako haven't done much as of late, but they're still prominent characters in Erina's arc and all three of them have cute designs that male characters will obviously gravitate towards.

No way he was going to beat Soma, and Megumi while not relevant as the top three girls, is still an important character. Shino is simply more popular, and Rindou has both a good design and a fun personality.

So really, there was a lot of things; it should be noted that all of the boys barring Shinomiya dropped, and that Takumi is still the third highest boy overall.

It sucks, what can you do when the series is drawn by a hentai artist. It's obvious who people will gravitate towards. It's why I was so surprised he was so high up in the first place.

>>153504185
Look, I'm not gonna deny that major reason people love her now is because she acts more like a waifu, but she has come a long way since the start of the series.

She's not my favorite character, but I will acknowledge that at least and it does factor into why she's loved now...well moreso than before.

Still no images of the new chapter?

>>153503387
Now that you are saying this, I can see why. I do think he is still liked by the majority of the readers but yeah he needs more focus and I am glad he is getting it now.
>If anything he is still on the top three boy and above the rivals.
Agree. I never liked Pajeet and while I used to like Dog, I am meh with him now. Although, I am glad Shino is still up there. He is great.

>>153503892
I am happy with the focus Takumi is getting now. He really needed it because after the Gigganigga match he was lost in the story as well.

>>153504250
>It sucks, what can you do when the series is drawn by a hentai artist. It's obvious who people will gravitate towards. It's why I was so surprised he was so high up in the first place.
I was never surprised he placed high in the previous polls because I knew Nips like him, esp fujos. But yes, as you and the other anons said there were a lot of things to consider as of why he lost his previous high position. I don't really mind but I am sad because I definately prefer him over Megumi who looks like an NPC Tsukuda has to shove down our throats only because she is a main. She was fine before but lately I just get tired of seeing her everywhere.

>>153504185
Please tell me what character development Souma or Megumi have because if we all look at the mains of Shokugeki there walking troupes of
>underdog -Souma
>maid who needs to get more confident and believe in her skills BUT she never does - Megumi
>tsundere ojou-sama - Erina

>>153504331
I have always liked Erina. The reason I like her more now is because she opened up and changed her attitude towards other people and especially Souma. The character development she needs at this moment is to step down her edgelord father and tell him to fuck off which by the looks of it, it's going to happen.

This is a message for the Mehgoomy Fags :

Oh, Megumi~ The Ms. Nice-girl-who-never-do-anything-bad and the so-called saint. Your character development is basically a repetition of the same formula a) Make you miserable b) Make you overcome it. Can’t even resist the manliness of Ryo’s food, you even have a massive foodgasm from it. Keep blushing to Isami, Takumi and Ryo, you’re definitely not faithful to men. Your specialty is hospitality/motherly food, you’re the one who suppose to cook for others, and that is why you’re not going to be the woman who will be choose to cook for. Barely have any dislikable flaws, you’re definitely just a two dimensional character. Your popularity keep dropping, realisation of people on how pointless character you’re. Keep following guys like a pest, surely you’re just another parasite. Your feat of making the Demon King aroused to the point of making his loin cloth falls, is pretty disgusting.

I'm not saying they compare to Hisako and Alice, but the point is almost everyone in the top 10 is connected to Erina in some way. I think only Shinomiya counts as the only character who probably hasn't even mentioned Erina before.

And Meat definitely at one point connected to Erina more than Alice. She was trying to win brownie points to begin with then got ditched, but still never stopped her idolization. She isn't actually that far off of Alice once you consider Meat came along much earlier.

>Takumi, Megumi, Nikumi, Hayama
>revolving around Erina.

Are you on drugs.

I can see them slowly making Erina into a Mary sue.

>>153514771
>revolving = relating

Are YOU on drugs?

>>153514282
I'm an Erinafag and even I can't agree with this. Almost all of those follow their own agenda.

>>153514766
I can say the same and say all of them are related to Megumi/Souma. It's not a big cast it makes sense that all of them have at least one interaction with each other.

>>153514766
>Meat came along much earlier.
No since as we found out in the flackbacks, Alice has been trying to get her attention since they were kids. Meat is definitely not more connected to Erina since Alice is her literal cousin.

Sure everyone is somewhat connected, but they don't revolve around her character like those two do. Alice is literally always trying to get Erina to take her seriously as a rival/trying to get her attention in general while like I stated already, everything Hisako does is for or because of Erina.

>>153514828
Everyone relates to each other, Hisako and Alice revolve around Erina that's the difference.

>>153514809
You mean making her into the PSD goddess of victory didn't make it obvious?

>>153514882
Souma has his own agenda, does that mean his relationship with Erina doesn't matter? What retarded logic is that?

>>153514886
Most of them are related to Megumi and Souma, why the fuck do you think one is the main character and one is always around? Just where are you even going with that statement?

>>153514911
Flashbacks don't magically make the earlier chapters irrelevant. If you have a series where the first 100 chapters don't even have a certain character, having a flash back in chapter 250 doesn't all of a sudden make up for those 100 chapters that character was missing from.

>>153514953
Except the two I pointed out, though Rindou on a trivial level relates to Erina, but Shinomiya practically hasn't even looked at her before. I never said anything to deny your statement, I'm supplementing it. Just because Hisako and Alice revolve around Erina the most doesn't neglect the fact that the likes of Megumi or Meat also do on a marginal level, otherwise Souma's relationship with Erina is basically void and has no bearing on him by your logic.

>>153514958
Why do people who always use /co/ shit as reaction images always lack the IQ to understand basic comprehension? Meat was involved with Erina before Alice was even introduced, at that point she was connected to Erina more than Alice. How the fuck can you even contest that you dumb nigger.

>Some people still butthurt because their waifus losing at the poll
Why?

>>153515210
A lot of characters are connected to Erina, but none of them revolve around her the way Hisako and Alice do. If you can't see that by now then that's on you.

>>153515224
Literally who and where? I see people complaining about Souma and Takumis rankings more than anything.

>>153515210
I mean, I don't really understand where are you trying to get.
Yes, there are a lot of characters that related to Erina but has more to them , the entire characters of Hisako and Alice are about Erina and with Alice I guess you can also count her relationship with Ryou.

I'm perfectly satisfied with the top 3. It's the exact same as mine

She already is a Mary Sue. She has a sad, woe is me backstory. She is loved by everyone and was pampered by the entire cast after they rescued her. She is the REBELLION GODDESS OF VICTORY.

What amazes me the most is that Hayama is still in the top 10.

Is this the power of Fujos? I thought they'd have better taste than this. Or did Morisaki and Tsukuda went full Y-san for him?

when does this arc ends?

>>153516412
Are you ready for another arc of two months about his nose?

>>153516479

About 7 more hours until chapter 203 RAWS releases
