[00:03] Soma
So, yeah...
SIGN Team Shokugeki, One Month Ago
[00:05] Soma
We're basically fighting the current Elite
Ten to reclaim control of the Elite Ten.
[00:10] Soma
We're doing this Team Shokugeki
thing where we fight in teams.
[00:15] Soma
The reason I called is, I was wondering
if you'd join up with us rebels.
SIGN Isshiki-senpai
Cell
[00:20] Isshiki
Yup. I'm actually already in Hokkaido
because I planned on doing just that.
[00:23] Soma
Huh?
[00:23] Isshiki
I was already in cahoots with
Joichiro-san and Chef Dojima.
[00:27] Isshiki
Looks like the plan to lure
out Director Azami worked.
[00:32] Guy
Took you long enough to contact me!
[00:34] Guy
I heard everything from Isshiki.
[00:36] Guy
You can't start a party without Kuga Terunori!
[00:39] Guy
I owe you.
[00:41] Guy
I'll get right to work on visualizing
the overthrow of the Elite Ten.
[00:46] Soma
Thanks, Mimasaka! I'll be counting on you.
[00:49] Soma
Did I let him borrow something?
[00:51] Tado
This is great, Soma-kun! Now we have
seven people for the Team Shokugeki!
[00:55] Soma
Yup. Might as well get our
last guy to agree, too.
[00:59] Erina
Yes, he would be a powerful ally.
[01:03] Erina
But this might prove to be a difficult mission.
[01:06] Erina
Because...
[01:07] Soma
Hello? Megishima-senpai?
[01:09] Erina
Would you listen to me?!
[01:11] Negi
I decline.
[01:12] Soma
Seriously?
SIGN Totsuki
[01:17] Nar
Totsuki Teahouse Culinary Academy.
[01:19] Nar
A storm has just touched
down upon this academy.
[01:23] Nar
The eight rebels, including Soma and
his friends, had challenged Director Azami's
[01:29] Nar
Elite Ten to a Team Shokugeki
on Rebun Island.
[01:34] Nar
The first bout ended with the
rebels winning all three matches.
[01:45] Soma
Glad you enjoyed it!
[01:47] Nar
But the Shokugeki will continue until
all of the enemies have been defeated.
[01:52] Nar
The road to total victory is
still long and treacherous.
SIGN Food Wars
SIGN The Fourth Plate
[03:29] Alice
For the upcoming second bout,
[03:31] Alice
we should use the best we have!
SIGN What We Want to Protect
[03:31] [SONG] Sign
We need to go one-on-one
with our absolute best only!!
[03:34] Glasses
No, we should consider saving
some of our best for last...
[03:38] Alice
Ugh! You just don't get it!
[03:39] Alice
This is basic battle strategy!
[03:39] Haya
What the heck kind of equations are those?
[03:41] Kuro
Hayama, there's no sense in
trying to talk to her.
[03:41] Glasses
But we might lose three
upperclassmen at once...
[03:45] Erina
Yukihira-kun...
[03:46] Tado
Soma-kun's still in the bathroom.
[03:48] Erina
Wha—
[03:50] Erina
For crying out loud...
[03:51] Isami
I wonder which of the Elite Ten
will show up next.
[03:54] Niku
The enemy should be panicking
after that first bout.
[03:58] Niku
I wouldn't be surprised if Tsukasa Eishi
or Kobayashi Rindo showed up next!
[04:01] Ryoko
The first and second seats?
[04:03] Yuki
What are we going to do, Erinacchi?!
[04:06] Erina
Well... With Team Shokugeki rules,
[04:09] Erina
a strategy like the sacrificial
captain that's used in kendo
[04:11] Erina
doesn't work at all.
[04:13] Pink
Even if we're able to get a
decent amount of victories,
[04:16] Pink
if the enemy still has the
top members of the Elite Ten,
[04:18] Pink
there's still a possibility they
could turn things completely around.
[04:20] Erina
Correct. So with the top members,
we need to try to win, no matter what.
[04:27] Negi
I'll go on whenever you need me.
[04:30] Tado
But you just finished the
first bout, Megishima-senpai.
[04:33] Tado
That'd be two in a row.
[04:35] Negi
That's fine.
[04:36] Negi
That's not enough to burn me out.
[04:41] Erina
I don't want to stop this momentum
we have from winning the first bout.
[04:44] Erina
The next three we should send in are...
[04:48] Glasses
Let me go next!
[04:50] Glasses
I'll destroy Yukihira Soma!
[04:54] Guy
Calm down, Eizan. We don't know if
Yukihira will be in the next bout.
[04:59] Rido
You sure do get worked up when
it comes to Yukihira Soma, Eizan.
[05:04] Guy
Regardless, we won't decide what's
going to happen in the second bout
[05:07] Guy
until Tsukasa comes back.
[05:09] Kuga
Tsukassan, you are going
to fight, aren't you?
[05:12] Kuga
In the second bout.
[05:15] Tsuka
And what if I tell you I am?
[05:16] Kuga
Oh, come on! Don't answer a question
with a question, you meanie!
[05:20] Kuga
Don't leave Terunori-kun
hanging like that!
[05:24] Kuga
Fight me in the next Shokugeki.
SIGN Team Shokugeki
[05:32] Girl
All right!
SIGN Team Shokugeki
[05:34] Girl
Now that our one-hour break is over,
the second bout is finally about to begin!
SIGN Team Shokugeki
[05:39] Girl
I wonder what the next battle will bring!
[05:43] Azami
I hope you'll at least be
entertaining this time.
SIGN Histoire Anne Charme
[05:47] Girl
The three judges will continue to
be the three Bookmen from the WGO!
[05:52] Girl
Wait, is Anne-san drunk?
[05:54] Ryoko
I-I wonder how that happened...
[05:56] Alice
We're back in a cage again?
[05:59] Haya
Well, what'd you expect?
We've been expelled.
[06:02] Alice
I'll sue their asses later!
[06:03] Kuro
Hayama, there's no point
in talking to her.
[06:06] Girl
First up, we have our next three
contestants from the loathsome rebels!
[06:11] Kua
Oh, heya!
[06:13] Ryoko
You can do it!
[06:14] Niku
You guys need to win again!
[06:15] Girl
Go! Stalker Gorilla!
[06:17] Girl
And here are our three contestants
from the Elite Ten!
[06:20] Kuga
Get your asses out here!
[06:22] Girl
Unbelievable! We have the first,
second, and fourth seats!
[06:27] Girl
They're so intense!
[06:29] Girl
These are the matchups as determined
by the cards prior to the match.
SIGN 2nd Bout
1st Match
Tsukasa Eishi vs. Kuga Terunori
2nd Match
Kobayashi Rindo vs. Megishima Tosuke
3rd Match
Saito Somei vs. Mimasaka Subaru
[06:34] Rindo
Yo, Megishima. Let's have a good match!
SIGN Rebel
Megishima Tosuke
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten, 2nd Seat
Kobayashi Rindo
[06:37] Megi
Yeah.
[06:38] Mima
My name is Saito Somei.
SIGN Rebel
Mimasaka Subaru
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten, 4th Seat
Saito Somei
[06:40] Mima
I walk down the culinary path. If you
stand in my way, I shall cut you down!
[06:47] Somei
You're rather amusing. Very well.
[06:49] Somei
I request a match with you.
SIGN Rebel
Kuga Terunori
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten, 1st Seat
Tsukasa Eishi
[06:50] Tsuka
Hey, Kuga. Looks like you got your wish.
[06:54] Guy
Kuga-senpai is up against Tsukasa Eishi?
[06:58] Guy
This is going to be one hell of a match!
[07:02] Guy
Let us find out what we'll
be cooking from the lottery.
[07:06] Guy
You can go ahead and draw, rebels.
[07:09] Rindo
I wanna draw it!
[07:10] Rindo
I wanna play that lottery!
[07:11] Rindo
Let me do it!
[07:12] Soma
That much?
[07:15] Saito
Sorry about this, Megishima.
[07:16] Megi
Nah, don't worry about it, Saito.
[07:20] Saito
We were both fellow members of
the Elite Ten just the other day.
[07:23] Saito
To think that now we're enemies
facing off in a Shokugeki.
[07:27] Megi
Well, chefs can have many virtues.
[07:32] Megi
This isn't that surprising.
[07:34] Saito
Even then, you had always
walked down your own path,
[07:38] Saito
so it was surprising that you ended
up lending a hand to those juniors.
[07:42] Megi
Yeah, you're not the only one surprised.
SIGN Cayenne Pepper
[07:48] Girl
The ingredient from the second
card is cayenne pepper!
SIGN Tuna
[07:52] Girl
And the third card is tuna!
[07:55] Girl
As for the first card...
It's green tea!
SIGN Green Tea (Tea Leaves)
[07:59] Glasses
Green tea?
[08:00] Girl
How, though? Are they going to
compete to make the best tea?
[08:03] Ryoko
No... I believe they're supposed to make a dish
[08:05] Ryoko
that best utilizes the scent
and taste of tea leaves.
[08:07] Alice
This would be pretty easy to
imagine with Kinokuni Nene,
SIGN Elite Ten Sixth Seat
[08:09] Alice
since she specializes in Japanese cuisine.
[08:12] Niku
It's hard to imagine how it'd be used with
[08:14] Niku
Kuga-san's Sichuan dishes or
Tsukasa Eishi's French cuisine...
[08:19] ---
Indeed.
[08:20] Girl
All right, let the preparations begin!
[08:27] Megu
A dish using green tea?
[08:30] Kuga
All right. Guess I'll get things started.
[08:37] Buns
Kuga-senpai is in action!
[08:39] Glasses
He's already got an idea
despite the difficult topic?
[08:42] Guy
Good going, Former Eighth Seat!
[08:44] Tsukasa
I'd expect nothing less from you, Kuga.
[08:47] Tsukasa
Chinese cuisine demands a variety
[08:49] Tsukasa
of cooking methods,
which makes a chef rather flexible.
[08:52] Tsukasa
It's a waste to not have you
in the Elite Ten anymore.
[08:58] Kuga
Give that crap a rest, Tsukassan!
[09:01] Kuga
Like you ever cared about anyone!
[09:06] (Flashback) Kuga
Fight me in the next Shokugeki.
[09:10] (Flashback) Tsuka
Could you give me some time to think about it?
[09:14] (Flashback) Tsuka
I'll go discuss it with everyone else.
[09:18] (Flashback) Tsuka
Well, see you later.
[09:26] (Flashback) Soma
Whoa!
[09:27] (Flashback) Soma
Here you go!
[09:28] (Flashback) Kuga
Thanks!
[09:30] (Flashback) Kuga
Yukihira-chin?!
[09:32] (Flashback) soma
If you're nervous,
[09:33] (Flashback) soma
want me to use the Yukihira-style
relaxation technique on you?
[09:37] (Flashback) Soma
Put your hands together!
Just like this!
[09:39] (Flashback) Kuga
Uh, just so you know...
[09:42] (Flashback) Kuga
This battle with Tsukassan...
I'm definitely going to...
[09:50] Soma
I'm counting on you, Kuga-senpai.
[09:54] Tsuka
Right. I should start concentrating, too.
[09:58] Tsuka
Now... breathe life into my dish.
[10:02] Megi
Huh... Cayenne pepper, eh?
[10:04] Rin
Come on, now! Do you really
have time to hesitate?
[10:07] Rin
Let's do this, Megishima!
[10:10] Buns
Wh-What is that? Is that actually food?
[10:13] Pink
No way!
[10:13] Niku
It's still alive, even!
[10:16] Niku
An alligator?!
[10:17] Rin
Don't make him eat you!
[10:20] Glasses
Alligator meat?
[10:22] Glasses
She's not possibly thinking about
using that at a Shokugeki, is she?
[10:26] Long
That must mean she's pretty confident.
[10:28] Girl
Of course she is, you stupid rebels!
[10:31] Girl
Rindo-senpai is a kind of chef
you rarely see, even at Totsuki!
[10:34] Girl
She's a true master of rare ingredients!
[10:37] [SONG] Sign
Rare Ingredients
[10:37] Soma
Rare ingredients?
[10:39] Rin
Uh-oh. He got away.
[10:41] Girl
Stay away!
[10:44] Rin
Come on, don't do that.
[10:48] Rin
Megishima!
[10:51] Rin
I had a lot of fun when we
were both in the Elite Ten,
[10:55] Rin
but now that we're enemies,
[10:57] Rin
I'm going to crush you
without a second thought!
[10:59] Megi
Sure. I plan on doing the same.
[11:02] Megi
Come at me with everything
you've got, Kobayashi!
[11:06] Rin
Now then, little guy, I'm going to have
to thank you for offering up your life.
[11:15] Rin
Good. You've got some excellent meat on you.
[11:19] Megi
She managed to kill it and
drain its blood in an instant?
[11:21] Niku
How was she able to butcher it so fast?!
[11:23] Kuro
Scaling, skinning, trimming,
and butchering...
[11:27] Alice
She used the optimal blade
and technique for each part.
[11:33] Haya
She's got excellent skills.
[11:34] Tsuka
The amazing thing about Rindo
isn't just her knife technique.
[11:39] Tsuka
Her overwhelming knowledge
of techniques in butchering
[11:41] Tsuka
and dressing meat, as well
as her endless curiosity
[11:43] Tsuka
when it comes to new flavors...
[11:45] Tsuka
All that basically pushed Rindo all
the way up to the second seat.
[11:50] Sato
Rindo-senpai is an expert when
it comes to rare ingredients,
[11:54] Sato
and has three faces.
[11:56] Sato
An epicure who flies all around the
globe in order to satisfy her tastes.
[12:01] Sato
A field researcher who systematically
studies unknown ingredients
[12:04] Sato
in their native habitats.
[12:06] Sato
And a daring barbarian who
cuts down any ingredient
[12:08] Sato
she can catch and devours it wildly.
[12:12] Soma
A rare ingredients master, huh?
[12:15] Soma
I wanna team up with her
and Sadatsuka one day!
[12:20] Rin
Bring it!
[12:23] Niku
Is that char siu pork?
[12:25] Buns
Then the dish Megishima-senpai's
trying to make is...
[12:28] Long
Ramen?
[12:29] Megu
If Rindo-senpai is the rare ingredients master,
[12:32] Megu
Megishima-senpai is a ramen master!
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten Former Third Seat
SIGN Ramen Master
Megishima Tosuke
[12:37] Megi
What I'm about to make is African ramen!
SIGN African Ramen
[12:39] All
African ramen?
[12:42] Megu
The heck is that?
[12:43] Soma
Does Africa even have ramen?
[12:45] Taku
No idea.
[12:46] Rin
I see. You always go all-out, Megishima.
[12:50] Rin
You always said you had no
interest in competitions.
[12:56] Rin
So what made you side with Yukihira Soma?
[13:02] Megi
I was struck by his passion...
[13:05] Megi
Yukihira Soma's, that is.
SIGN Approximately 1 Month Ago • Asahikawa, Hokkaido
[13:09] (Flashback) Guy
What those guys from Totsuki Academy's
Central are doing is awful!
[13:14] (Flashback) Guy
They ordered us to make dishes
exactly as they tell us to and
[13:17] (Flashback) Guy
are even pressuring our ingredient suppliers.
[13:21] (Flashback) Guy 3
There are plenty of places
[13:22] (Flashback) Guy 3
that are about to close because
they just can't keep up!
SIGN Totsuki Academy Forms Partnership
with Hokkaido Restaurants
SIGN Bold Decision? Or Coercion?
SIGN Nihon Rizai Shimbun
[13:27] (Flashback) Megi
All right, I get what you guys are saying.
[13:29] (Flashback) Megi
I'll use my connections and try to
secure some distributors for you guys.
[13:35] (Flashback) Megi
I'll protect everyone's ramen.
[13:38] (Flashback) Guys
Thank you very much, Young Master!
[13:42] (Flashback) Guy
Who the hell are you guys?!
You from Totsuki Academy?
[13:48] (Flashback) Soma
Oh, hey, Megishima-senpai!
How's it going?
[13:51] (Flashback) Megu
H-Hello.
[13:54] (Flashback) Megu
Isshiki-senpai said you might be nearby.
[13:59] (Flashback) Soma
So at this point, we thought
we should show up in person
[14:02] (Flashback) Soma
to try to convince you.
[14:03] (Flashback) Megi
It doesn't matter how many
times you try to talk to me.
[14:05] (Flashback) Megi
I have no intention of getting
involved with this Shokugeki.
[14:08] (Flashback) Soma
Oh, I guess Nakiri mentioned that, too.
[14:11] (Flashback) Erina
Megishima-san is a man of
excellent character who's called
[14:14] (Flashback) Erina
"Young Master" by most of Japan's ramen shops.
[14:17] (Flashback) Erina
Because he believes in peace so much,
[14:19] (Flashback) Erina
he's also known as "The Chef
That Hates Shokugeki."
[14:22] (Flashback) Megu
The Chef That Hates Shokugeki?
[14:24] (Flashback) Soma
You were removed from the Third Seat
of the Elite Ten, weren't you?
[14:29] (Flashback) Soma
You can take your seat back
if we defeat Central.
[14:34] (Flashback) Megi
I hate competing,
and ever since I entered Totsuki,
[14:37] (Flashback) Megi
everyone bugs me about competitions.
[14:38] (Flashback) Megi
It's all about winning or losing!
[14:40] (Flashback) Soma
Why the heck did you even enroll, then?
[14:42] (Flashback) Megi
Because I heard it was the
best culinary school in Japan.
[14:46] (Flashback) Megi
Yet I kept getting challenged
to a Shokugeki every day.
[14:48] (Flashback) Megi
They were so damn persistent,
I ended up taking them all on,
SIGN Congratulations on Getting the Third Seat of the Elite Ten
[14:51] (Flashback) Megi
and I somehow ended up with the third seat.
[14:55] Soma
Holy crap...
[14:56] (Flashback) Megi
But I'm sick of all that now!
[14:58] (Flashback) Megi
If there has to be a win-or-lose
situation with cooking,
[15:00] (Flashback) Megi
let it just be who can please
their customers more.
[15:05] (Flashback) Megi
I don't want to use my ramen
as a tool for quarreling.
[15:08] (Flashback) Megu
Um, I understand what you're saying, Senpai.
[15:12] (Flashback) Megu
But all my friends are about to be expelled.
[15:15] (Flashback) Megu
I want to protect everyone! That's why I...
[15:18] (Flashback) Megi
I also just want to protect.
The current ramen culture, that is.
[15:23] (Flashback) Megi
Sorry, but I'm not going to be helping you.
[15:25] (Flashback) Megi
I've already got my hands full.
[15:28] (Flashback) Guy
It sucks, but you should give it up.
[15:30] (Flashback) Guy
The young master doesn't change
his mind after making a decision.
[15:36] (Flashback) Soma
Then how about this?
[15:38] (Flashback) Soma
If you participate in this Team Shokugeki,
[15:40] (Flashback) Soma
I'll take the First Seat of the Elite Ten
[15:43] (Flashback) Soma
and give the ramen business
some special treatment!
SIGN First Seat
[15:46] (Flashback) Soma
How does that sound?
[15:49] (Flashback) Megu
W-W-W-Wait, Soma-kun! Everything you
just said is pretty impossible!
[15:52] (Flashback) Soma
You think so?
[15:53] (Flashback) Megi
Get lost! I hate competing, but I
hate guys who are all talk even more.
[16:00] (Flashback) Soma
But that would mean you'd have to see
what I can do first-hand, right?
[16:06] (Flashback) Soma
If I'm able to make ramen better than
you, wouldn't it prove that my desire
[16:12] (Flashback) Soma
to protect my friends wasn't all talk?
[16:16] (Flashback) Megi
You think you can beat me in making ramen?
[16:20] (Flashback) Megi
That's exactly what I mean by "all talk"!
[16:23] (Flashback) Megi
Listen up! This isn't even a competition!
[16:27] (Flashback) Megi
Time to teach one of my juniors a lesson.
[16:28] (Flashback) Megi
Follow me to the kitchen.
[16:39] (Flashback) Soma
I'll be knocking heads with you!
[16:44] (Flashback) Soma
There! Ramen's up!
[16:46] (Flashback) Megi
I'm also finished.
[16:48] (Flashback) Soma
Tadokoro, you're gonna be tasting them.
[16:50] (Flashback) Megu
Huh?!
[17:03] (Flashback) Megu
It's so amazing!
[17:07] (Flashback) Megi
You're not bad.
[17:09] (Flashback) Megi
But the difference in our
skills is crystal clear!
[17:11] (Flashback) Megi
You never stood a chance
against me with ramen.
[17:14] (Flashback) Soma
You can't judge the extent of
my skills after just one match.
[17:18] (Flashback) Soma
I'm going to make you fight
me until I say I give up!
[17:35] (Flashback) Megu
Soma-kun!
[17:39] (Flashback) Soma
Dig in!
[17:53] (Flashback) Soma
I'm not done yet!
[17:54] (Flashback) Guy
That kid's still not giving up?
[17:57] (Flashback) Guy
He can't beat the young master
with stopgap skills like that!
[18:00] (Flashback) Megi
Hasn't it been long enough?
[18:02] (Flashback) Megi
Why do you refuse to give up?
[18:05] (Flashback) Megi
I realize you want to help your friends,
[18:07] (Flashback) Megi
but no matter how hard you try,
[18:09] (Flashback) Megi
there's no way your skills
can overpower mine.
[18:11] (Flashback) Soma
I want every dish to be free.
[18:15] (Flashback) Soma
And the Azami administration is trying
to create the exact opposite of that!
[18:19] (Flashback) Soma
Tonkatsu, yakitori, curry, and hot pot...
[18:22] (Flashback) Soma
I want to eat all kinds of
dishes from all kinds of chefs
[18:25] (Flashback) Soma
and go head-to-head with them!
[18:26] (Flashback) Soma
I want to protect that kind of environment!
[18:30] (Flashback) Soma
That's why... I want one more ma...
[18:34] (Flashback) Megu
S-S-S-Soma-kun?!
[18:36] (Flashback) Guy
He's asleep. That must've
taken everything out of him.
[18:40] (Flashback) Megi
Looks like it's victory by default.
[18:42] (Flashback) Megu
No!
[18:43] (Flashback) Megi
He didn't say that he gave up.
[18:45] (Flashback) Megu
Huh?
[18:46] (Flashback) Megi
But I'm going to forfeit this match.
[18:49] (Flashback) Megi
Which means Yukihira wins by default.
[18:52] (Flashback) Megi
I lose.
[18:53] (Flashback) Megu
You mean...
[18:55] (Flashback) Megi
I promise you that, at the Team Shokugeki,
[19:00] (Flashback) Megi
I will give my all so that we can win.
[19:03] Megi
I'm counting on you, Megishima-senpai.
[19:06] kuro
He's putting garlic, onions, paprika,
[19:09] kuro
and ripe tomatoes in the soup.
[19:11] Alice
That's definitely going to bring
out the flavor and acidity.
[19:15] Haya
And that smell... It's chicken stock.
[19:19] Long
The smell alone is making me squirm!
[19:21] Guy
I just want to dump that stock onto
some white rice and devour it!
[19:25] Niku
Now he's dumping in the vegetables and
drumettes, and stewing it even longer.
[19:28] Pink
When all the flavors finish
blending together and connect,
[19:31] Pink
the soup will be complete.
[19:32] Erina
His char siu pork is worth mentioning, too.
[19:34] Erina
Megishima-san was using a special sauce.
[19:37] Soma
Special sauce?
[19:38] Erina
Garlic, soy sauce, sugar, sake, and the
key ingredient to this entire dish...
[19:43] Erina
Peanuts.
[19:44] All
Peanuts?!
[19:46] Guy
Wait, what's with all those cayenne peppers?!
[19:49] Blonde
I know his theme was cayenne peppers, but...
[19:52] Pink
That'll turn everything super red.
[19:53] Buns
Is it even going to be edible?
[19:55] Erina
Megishima-san is using peanuts to try
[19:57] Erina
to bring out the deliciousness of the
cayenne peppers to its very limit.
[20:04] Isa
Rindo-senpai's getting pretty far, too.
[20:07] Taku
Indeed.
[20:08] Taku
She marinated the alligator meat,
and now she's mixing the starch in.
[20:14] Rindo
That smells great!
[20:16] Rindo
This is the best moment, when the
alligator meat is fried to a crisp!
[20:19] Rindo
Though I'm not sure how much I like
[20:21] Rindo
using a wok, since I feel like I'm
intruding into Kuga's territory.
[20:26] Rindo
All right.
[20:26] Rindo
I'll let the alligator meat rest for a bit.
[20:29] Rindo
Now, let's get the real party started.
[20:34] Guy
It's not just Megishima-senpai!
[20:36] Glasses
Rindo-senpai's doing it, too!
[20:37] Niku
That's enough cayenne peppers
to knock your socks off!
[20:41] Megi
I knew it.
[20:42] Rind
What are you laughing at, Megishima?
[20:45] megi
Knowing your personality,
[20:46] megi
I knew there was no way you'd make
a refined cayenne pepper dish.
[20:50] Megi
I figured you'd dump all of those
in there without thinking twice.
[20:53] Megi
So I knew I'd have to do something
on par with that to keep up.
[20:58] Rind
What the heck? You're acting
like you know me or something.
[21:03] Rind
I guess you do, though!
[21:07] Haya
There's a very distinct aroma rising up.
[21:10] Alice
The capsaicin that makes the peppers
hot is filling up the air.
[21:13] Kuro
I'm sweating just watching them.
[21:20] Guy
Megishima-senpai!
[21:22] Buns
He's also quietly grinding the peppers!
[21:23] Pink
My eyes are burning!
[21:25] Isa
They're both definitely going all-out.
[21:29] Taku
That just means they're
both extremely confident.
[21:32] Taku
The confidence to take that
colossal amount of spice energy
[21:34] Taku
and turn it into deliciousness.
[21:44] Soma
So this is basically a super
heavyweight title match.
[21:47] Soma
Who's going to push through?
I can't take my eyes off of them!
[21:51] Nar
It's power versus power
[21:53] Nar
and technique versus technique
[21:55] Nar
in this rough-and-tumble second bout!
[21:57] Nar
Can the rebels emerge victorious?

[01:33] Girl
All right, the second bout
is really heating up now!
[01:37] Girl
Preparations seem to be
going well in each bout!
[01:41] Rindo
Hell yeah!
[01:44] Megu
Wow... Megishima-senpai and the
others seem to be going at full power.
[01:50] Eizan
Power, eh? There are more
clever ways of handling this.
[01:54] Momo
And who lost to the first-years again?
[01:57] Eizan
I'm different now.
[01:59] Eizan
I'm going to crush Yukihira,
no matter what it takes!
[02:02] Guy
How's Mimasaka doing?
[02:04] Guy
It seems like he's planning
something, but I'm not sure.
[02:08] Buns
I wonder if he's going to use his
Perfect Trace, like usual.
[02:11] Buns
Whoa! You startled me!
[02:13] Buns
What's up, Ibusaki?
[02:14] Shun
I was just thinking that Kuga-senpai
[02:16] Shun
doesn't look like he's even
going to use the green tea.
[02:19] Glasses
True.
[02:20] Pink
On the other hand, Tsukasa-senpai
[02:23] Pink
has four varieties of tea leaves!
[02:25] Niku
Is he going to use all of them in his dish?
[02:27] Sec
The definition of green tea is rather broad,
[02:30] Sec
and there are various ways to use it.
[02:32] Glasses
Green tea refers to unfermented tea
leaves that are dried immediately
[02:36] Glasses
after being picked, which prevents
enzyme activity from oxidizing them.
[02:40] Glasses
There are different varieties, like
sencha, gyokuro, hojicha, and kabusecha,
SIGN Sencha
SIGN Gyokuro
SIGN Hojicha
SIGN Kabusecha
[02:45] Glasses
each with their own flavors and aromas.
[02:47] Soma
There's definitely a reason
he's the first seat.
[02:49] Soma
He knows what he's doing
with the ingredients.
[02:54] Tsuka
Now... Come to me.
[02:56] Tsuka
Yes... There's no need to be frightened.
[03:00] Tsuka
Come to me.
[03:02] Tsuka
You steep sencha in boiling
water for 30 seconds.
[03:04] Tsuka
That delicately brings out the catechin,
the source of its bitter flavor.
[03:08] Tsuka
Genmaicha lacks in both
umami and bitterness.
[03:11] Tsuka
You steep it at 90 degrees
Celsius for 30 seconds
[03:13] Tsuka
to bring out its aroma to the fullest.
[03:16] Tsuka
Fukamushi sencha steeps so easily
that you only need to give it
[03:18] Tsuka
less than a minute at 80 degrees Celsius.
[03:21] Tsuka
And gyokuro is steeped at
60 degrees Celsius for two minutes.
[03:24] Tsuka
The lower temperature ensures that the
umami components seep slowly into the water.
[03:27] Sec
He's using a Nambu ironware
teakettle to boil the water.
[03:30] Sec
It removes the sharp tang of the hot water,
giving it a milder, softer flavor.
[03:33] Azami
Magnificent.
[03:35] Azami
Truly skilled chefs are able to control
the ingredients with a whim.
[03:39] Azami
But Tsukasa Eishi has the utmost respect for
[03:43] Azami
the sovereign known as the ingredient.
[03:46] Azami
He is the sword in their hand.
[03:52] Soma
The heck is that?
[03:53] Taku
It's a utensil known as a grater,
but I've never seen one that long.
[03:58] Megu
It's almost like a knight's sword...
[04:01] Megu
Der weiß Ritter der Tafel.
SIGN The White Knight
of the Table
[04:09] Kuro
He took care of all the ingredients at once.
[04:10] Haya
That's a dynamic way to use it.
[04:12] Megu
His handling of the green
tea goes beyond perfection.
[04:16] Megu
But that's not all.
[04:18] Megu
How are we even supposed
to compete with that?
[04:21] Tsuka
It looks like you've just been
concentrating on that wok this entire time.
[04:25] Tsuka
You doing okay, Kuga?
[04:28] Tsuka
Being trapped in your own field
may be a bad habit of yours.
[04:32] Tsuka
Obsessing over one thing may keep you from
[04:34] Tsuka
reaching greater heights
when it comes to flavor.
[04:37] Tsuka
It's not that I don't
acknowledge your passion.
[04:40] Tsuka
But I have to say,
[04:41] Tsuka
I don't think you'll ever be able
to defeat me if you don't change.
SIGN Team Shokugeki
[04:45] Mima
I don't know about that.
[04:55] Mima
We're allowed to help our other
teammates with their preparations.
[04:59] Mima
That's one of the rules in
a Team Shokugeki, isn't it?
[05:02] Kuga
Good work, Mimasaka-chin.
[05:04] Niku
Kuga-senpai finally brought
out the tea leaves.
[05:06] Megu
He must've been waiting for
Mimasaka-kun to finish that!
[05:10] Taku
Mimasaka was using his Trace
[05:12] Taku
on Kuga-senpai, even though he's our ally.
[05:14] Pink
That's why he was able to support
him at the perfect time!

[05:22] Mima

SIGN Super

[05:32] Kuga
But good work, Mimasaka-chin!
[05:34] Kuga
Kuga Terunori's just starting to cook!
[05:38] Guy
What the heck is that?
[05:39] Guy
Aluminum foil and a grilling net in a wok?
[05:43] Shun
That's an impromptu smoker.
[05:45] Both
A smoker?
[05:46] Shun
Yeah. Kuga-senpai's goal was to smoke
the meat using the tea leaves.
[05:51] Anne
Magnificent!
[05:54] Anne
Up until now,
[05:55] Anne
he was thoroughly frying the sides of
the roast pork shoulder pieces in his wok.
[06:00] Shades
The fact that he's smoking the pork
[06:02] Shades
rather than stewing it after
he fried it is truly interesting!
[06:06] Blonde
By smoking the meat,
he's able to directly apply
[06:09] Blonde
the green tea leaves' aroma to it.
[06:11] Blonde
He's using a different approach
to green tea than Tsukasa Eishi.
[06:15] Soma
Oho... I never knew you
could do that with a wok.
[06:20] Soma
Maybe I'll try it next time.
[06:21] Soma
Oh, so what'd he do with that black liquid?
[06:25] Kuga
I'm just about to use it,
actually, Yukihira-chin.
[06:29] Kuga
While the meat's smoking, I'm going to
go right into my expert sauce-making.
[06:33] Kuga
I reduced some balsamic vinegar until
its flavor and aroma were condensed.
[06:36] Kuga
Then I added black vinegar,
sugar, and powdered green tea.
[06:39] Kuga
And to top things off, I'm going
to add this smoked soy sauce!
[06:43] Buns
Smoked soy sauce?
[06:45] Shun
Yeah, that's what that liquid is.
[06:47] Shun
Mimasaka was smoking that this whole time.
[06:51] Shun
Smoking soy sauce
[06:52] Shun
makes the aroma stand out more and
gives it a more complex taste.
[06:58] Haya
That smells truly amazing.
[06:59] Haya
Adding the smokiness not only
to the meat, but also to the sauce,
[07:03] Haya
increases the dish's harmony.
[07:05] Shades
This is definitely a fresh idea.
[07:07] Shades
Excellent teamwork.
[07:11] Soma
So basically, it feels like Tsukasa-senpai
[07:13] Soma
is having to fight two chefs right now.
[07:17] Eizan
Hey, Kuga.
[07:19] Eizan
Didn't you want to face Tsukasa-san one-on-one?
[07:23] Kuga
Shut up.
[07:25] Kuga
Despite how I look, I'm an adult!
[07:28] Kuga
I won't let my silly pride get in the way.
[07:31] Kuga
My job right now is to make sure I
completely defeat you, Tsukassan.
[07:38] Tsuka
I see. So you have the resolve to win,
even if you have to abandon your pride.
[07:41] Tsuka
You definitely do seem a bit different, Kuga.
[07:45] Kuga
I'm going to end your undefeated streak here.
[07:54] Blonde
But is Mimasaka Subaru keeping
up with his own preparations?
[07:58] Blonde
He doesn't have enough time or
concentration to keep supporting others.
[08:02] Anne
You definitely have a point.
[08:05] Anne
He's facing a considerable opponent himself.
[08:08] Anne
The current fourth seat of the Elite Ten,
[08:10] Anne
and the greatest sushi chef of
this generation, Saito Somei.
[08:16] All
S-S-S-Sushi chef?!
[08:18] Megu
Mimasaka-kun managed to pull a
tuna card against a sushi chef?!
SIGN Tuna
[08:23] Buns
He's the king of bad luck! Mimasaka
somehow has worse luck than Yukihira!
[08:28] Soma
Hey, I'm not unlucky.
[08:31] Soma
Besides, look.
[08:33] Soma
Mimasaka looks like he has
something up his sleeve.
[08:37] Somei
You are truly an unlucky man.
[08:41] Somei
But mercy would be unrefined.
[08:43] Somei
When I stand before a cutting board,
I will do my utmost best!
[08:51] Kuro
He filleted that huge tuna in an instant.
[08:57] Alice
Power and technique.
[08:59] Alice
So this is the strength of
the Elite Ten's top seats.
[09:12] Taku
Mimasaka's almost done with the filleting, too.
[09:16] ---
Flash!
[09:24] Guy
What the heck's going on?!
[09:25] Guy
He's perfectly copying that
other dish with no time lag!
SIGN Perfect Trace Flash
[09:31] Mima
Perfect Trace Flash!
[09:34] Mima
With the speed of a camera's flash,
[09:36] Mima
I instantaneously perceive and analyze
my opponent's actions and intent,
[09:39] Mima
and have my body mimic the exact same steps.
[09:44] Shades
I see. That way, he can reduce
the amount of thinking time
[09:47] Shades
needed to prepare his dish to zero.
[09:49] Blonde
He used all the time his opponent
needed to think about his dish
[09:53] Blonde
to support Kuga Terunori
by making his smoked soy sauce.
[09:58] Niku
Talk about a flash!
[10:00] Pink
This is nothing like
Mimasaka-kun's usual Trace!
[10:03] Buns
When did he manage to raise the bar
this high on his copying technique?!
[10:06] Megu
Amazing!
[10:07] Taku
Good grief. Talk about promising.
[10:10] Soma
I knew you'd come through, Mimasaka!
[10:13] Erina
Now, show them...
[10:15] Erina
Show them how powerfully well
the rebels work together!
[10:21] Somei
Min name is Saito Somei.
I walk down the culinary path.
[10:26] Somei
The way one learns the
sword is through mimicry.
[10:29] Somei
You have excellent skill.
[10:33] Somei
But though I practice bushido,
even I would never use "min."
SIGN Min
[10:37] Rin
Uh, yeah, you do.
[10:39] Tsuka
You sure do.
[10:40] Momo
Yup.
[10:41] Eizan
Yeah, you do.
[10:41] Megi
You do.
[10:43] Somei
Not you, too!
[10:45] Somei
Very well, but a moment, please.
[10:51] Kuro
He filleted the rest of it.
[10:57] Somei
Use it.
[10:58] Somei
Your knife is not up to par.
[11:01] Somei
You are going to chip your blade.
[11:02] Somei
If you do not use my beloved blade Isanagiri,
you go against my bushido.
[11:08] All
Bushido?!
[11:10] Rindo
There he goes again!
[11:11] Megi
Saito's annoying habit has kicked in.
[11:15] Soma
Habit?
[11:16] Megi
He has bushido on the brain to the point
where he'll force it into anything.
SIGN Bushido
[11:20] Soma
Bushido on the brain?
[11:21] Mima
I thank you.
[11:23] Mima
Now min Trace is even closer to perfection!
[11:32] Somei
Now that we are both done with
filleting, the real battle begins.
[11:37] Somei
Follow me!
[11:38] Mima
Of course!
[11:39] Mima
Flash!
[11:40] Mima
I'll soak the akami in a marinade
of mirin, soy sauce, and red wine.
[11:45] Mima
Flash!
[11:47] Mima
I sear just one side of the tuna cheeks
in butter to enhance their aroma!
[11:51] Pink
Wait, he's preparing each part of the
fish in completely different ways?
[11:55] Niku
What kind of sushi is he trying to make?
[11:57] Mima
Flash!
[12:00] Shun
That's...
[12:00] Buns
Straw? Why straw, though?
[12:03] Niku
That's...
[12:03] Sec
A shichirin!
[12:04] Niku
They lit it up and started
grilling the meat!
[12:07] Taku
Just like Kuga-senpai, Mimasaka is
doing whatever he needs to do to win.
[12:20] Mima
To think that doing image training
[12:22] Mima
to copy all of them would
wear me out this much.
[12:25] Mima
But...
[12:26] (Flashback) Taku
I won't lose next time!
[12:28] (Flashback) Soma
That's what it means to be a chef.
[12:30] Mima
Takumi Aldini and Yukihira Soma...
[12:35] Mima
The only reason I'm still able to stand
in the kitchen is thanks to you two.
[12:40] Mima
And in order to pay you back...
[12:43] (Flashback) Mima
Min name is Saito Somei.
[12:46] (Flashback) Mima
To know rightness without
doing it makes you a coward.
[12:48] (Flashback) Mima
Hey, hey!
[12:49] (Flashback) Mima
I'm Rindo-senpai! Did you
hear me? I'm Rindo-senpai!
[12:53] (Flashback) Mima
I offer my all to gourmet.
That's Tsukasa Eishi's cuisine.
[12:58] (Flashback) Mima
I'm going to crush you, Yukihira.
[13:01] (Flashback) Mima
Hey, Bucchi, let's have a chat.
[13:04] (Flashback) Mima
Bucchi's such a cute meow-meow.
[13:07] (Flashback) Mima
Die.
[13:08] (Flashback) Mima
D-Don't get the wrong idea.
[13:10] (Flashback) Mima
It's not like I did this for you.
[13:13] (Flashback) Mima
Wh-Who are you calling cute? Dummy!
[13:16] Mima
Deeper... Trace them even deeper!
[13:19] Mima
More and more...
[13:23] Mima
And now for the arrangement!
[13:30] Somei
I apologize for keeping you waiting.
[13:31] Megu
They prepared everything
the same exact way,
[13:34] Megu
but Saito-senpai finished first?
[13:37] Taku
It's so unbelievably beautiful.
[13:39] Taku
There are so many intensely
different shades
[13:41] Taku
of red sparkling radiantly on the plate.
[13:43] Niku
So pretty...
[13:44] Alice
Those are even smaller than the temari
sushi I made at the Autumn Elections.
[13:48] Buns
So cute!
[13:50] Somei
Ten Bite-size Maguro-sushi Rubies!
[13:53] Somei
Now, please enjoy.
[13:56] Blonde
So this is the maguro sushi prepared
by Totsuki's best sushi chef.
[14:01] Anne
They say in Kyoto, they have tiny
sushi that the maiko can eat
[14:05] Anne
without smearing their makeup.
[14:08] Shade
A dish that truly seems to
encapsulate the beauty of Japan.
[14:12] Momo
"Maguro" starts with "ma," so it's cute.
[14:15] Eizan
Maybe.
[14:16] Mima
I also apologize for keeping you waiting.
[14:19] Buns
A perfect trace!
[14:21] Guy
They're the same! Their sushi
looks exactly the same!
[14:24] Guy
No, wait! There's just one
that's totally different!
[14:28] Guy
You're right!
[14:29] Guy
There's a gunkanmaki that
Saito-senpai didn't have!
[14:33] Taku
So that's the arrangement Mimasaka
decided to go into battle with.
[14:36] Taku
That's where their tastes differ.
[14:38] Girl
Shut your mouths!
[14:41] Girl
Like he stands a chance against Saito-senpai!
[14:45] Girl
The skills of a true sushi chef are empyreal!
[14:49] Girl
A day isn't even enough to set
foot on the treacherous path
[14:51] Girl
they have to walk to become one!
[14:53] Girl
There's no way a copycat bastard
could actually make good sushi!
[14:58] Mima
Then try one.
[15:02] Mima
Eat up.
[15:07] Girl
Bring it on!
[15:16] Girl
Ec-sta-sy!
[15:19] Girl
Wait, what?
[15:26] Girl
That bastard has perfectly brought out
the full flavor of each part of the tuna!
[15:31] Girl
And this rice... It's not
just normal sushi rice!
[15:34] Mima
Correct. I used red vinegar.
[15:37] [SONG] Sign
Red Vinegar
[15:38] Mima
Red vinegar is made from sake lees that
have been aged for a long period of time.
[15:42] Mima
It's a high-end vinegar that
takes five to six years to make.
[15:45] Mima
Isn't that right, Senpai?
[15:47] Somei
Indeed.
[15:48] Sec
Because it has low sugar
content and a mellow flavor,
[15:52] Sec
the rice becomes fluffier and softer.
[15:55] Haya
But that also makes it harder to strengthen
the harmony of flavors between
[15:59] Haya
the rice and the topping,
so it requires extra care.
[16:01] Kuro
Mimasaka was actually able
to copy him that far?
[16:05] Girl
Damn it!
[16:07] Girl
The flavor is sadly on par with the
skills of the top members of the Elite Ten!
[16:13] Girl
His passion that sparkles like a ruby
[16:15] Girl
in the middle of craftsmanship
that's as careful as a snake...
[16:19] Girl
My body is so hot! I feel
like I'm going to burn up!
[16:22] Girl
All this time, I'd managed
to avoid doing reactions...
[16:27] Girl
No! No! I can't!
[16:32] Girl
I might never be able to get married now...
[16:38] Blonde
I think that's enough of a
detour, Miss Cute Little MC.

Sushi is best when it's freshly prepared.

Hold up a sec!
[16:49] Rindo
Rindo-senpai's comin' through!
[16:55] Rindo
I'd prefer if you'd eat my dish
before it gets cold, too.
[16:59] Guy
What the?
[17:00] Guy
The meat is buried in cayenne peppers!
[17:02] Rindo

[17:19] Buns

[18:02] Guy
There it is!
[18:03] Guy
A full-body reaction!
[18:07] Blonde
Both chefs' sushi is unparalleled!
[18:09] Blonde
The most dangerous piece is the
straw-grilled noten sushi!
[18:15] Alice
Noten?
[18:16] Kuro
The cut of meat from the
top of the tuna's head,
[18:19] Kuro
and also one of the priciest
cuts. The tsunotoro.
[18:22] Hayama
Because it was grilled with straw,
all of the fishiness is burnt away,
[18:25] Haya
leaving only pure savory flavor behind.
[18:28] Glasses
The trace is complete!
[18:30] Shun
So the battle's going to
come down to that gunkan.
[18:33] Blonde
There's meringue on top of this negitoro.
[18:36] Blonde
The fragrant aroma of the
fermented soy sauce...
[18:38] Blonde
He supported his teammate and used
it for his own arrangement...
[18:41] Blonde
So he calculated both.
[18:43] Une
The mellow aroma of the smoked soy sauce...
[18:46] Une
It brings out the contrast in texture
[18:48] Une
between the meringue and
the negitoro even more!
[18:50] Une
This is definitely the Ultimate
Negitoro Eggs-Over-Rice Gunkan Sushi!
[18:55] Buns
What about Megishima-senpai's ramen?
[18:58] Megi
That's harissa.
[19:00] Megi
A seasoning blend that's said to have
originated in northern Africa.
[19:03] Megi
The ingredients include paprika,
caraway seeds,
[19:06] Megi
lemon juice, garlic, and
a lot of cayenne pepper.
[19:10] Megi
Then they're all mashed together into a paste.
[19:13] Soma
Harissa's the paste that my
dad made back at the dorm.
[19:17] Soma
I guess he did mention something about Africa.
[19:19] Megi
The ramen's broth is based on chicken muamba,
[19:22] Megi
an African stew of chicken,
nuts, and tomatoes.
[19:27] Megi
It's the perfect detonator to amplify
the spiciness of the super-spicy harissa.
[19:32] shades
Extra-thick cuts of char siu pork rubbed with
homemade peanut butter before simmering...
[19:36] shades
The noodles soak up the broth and
the spiciness from the harissa.
[19:39] shades
I can't stop eating it!
[19:42] Une
Its deliciousness is making
my body cry out from the heat!
[19:46] Une
Ecstasy...
[19:48] Pink
The African Ramen is a hit, too!
[19:51] Buns
Heck yeah! You've got this!
[19:54] Buns
We're gonna take down the top seats
of the Elite Ten all at once!

These are the results for

[20:05] Girl
How do you like that, rebel scum?
[20:07] Girl
You don't stand a chance
against the Elite Ten!
[20:13] Mima
Why?! The arrangement on that
gunkan should've been perfect!
[20:17] Blonde
The gunkanmaki wasn't the deciding factor.
[20:20] Blonde
It was the invisible cuts.
[20:21] Mima
I traced the invisible cuts
and included them myself!
[20:26] Mima
By adding cuts to the meat, the tuna
immediately melts in your mouth,
[20:29] Mima
spreading the flavor throughout.
[20:33] Somei
Yes. Your tracing was splendid.
[20:37] Somei
But what we made were miniature
ruby beads of bite-size sushi.
[20:41] Somei
So you figured it out.
[20:43] Somei
You added a few too many invisible cuts.
[20:47] Somei
If you add in the same amount of
cuts as you would for normal sushi,
[20:50] Somei
the tuna will melt too quickly.
[20:53] Somei
In order for the flavor to linger long enough,
[20:55] Somei
it's necessary to use fewer invisible cuts.
[20:59] Somei
It appears as though you weren't
able to trace that minor detail.
[21:04] Somei
There is no need to blame yourself. This is
just the difference in our experience.
[21:09] Megu
B-But what about
Megishima-senpai's ramen?
[21:13] Megu
There was nothing but compliments!
[21:15] Shades
The African Ramen was indeed magnificent.
[21:18] Shades
But Kobayashi Rindo's dish surpassed that.
[21:22] Une
By using the Laziji method,
[21:24] Une
she was able to push the
[21:26] Une
mild alligator meat into a
fragrant and rich realm of flavor.
[21:39] Rindo
My bad, Megishima!
[21:40] Rindo
Looks like I win this round.
[21:44] Megi
This is a competition.
[21:46] Megi
I have no regrets.
[21:47] Soma
Don't worry. We still have...
[21:50] Kuga

That's what you get for challenging
Tsukasa-san in the first place,
[00:57] (Flashback) Eizan
you stupid little shrimp.
[00:59] (Flashback) Nene
Kuga's not reacting to "shrimp."
This must be serious.
[01:03] (Flashback) Isshiki
You forced the first seat into a duel.
[01:06] (Flashback) Isshiki
I think that's something to be proud of.
[01:09] (Flashback) Kuga
Yeah!

The only underclassman to challenge

The First Seat of the Elite Ten's dish...
[03:59] Niku
He just brought out something insane!
[04:02] Alice
But our dish is formidable, too.
[04:06] Buns
Look at that hot, juicy pork shoulder!
[04:08] Ryoko
At first glance, it looks like sweet
and sour pork with black vinegar.
[04:12] Isa
But the way he plated it
[04:13] Isa
makes it look like a beautiful
Italian or French dish.
[04:16] Sec
Kuga Terunori got the green tea card,
[04:18] Sec
which would seem difficult to
incorporate into his Sichuan cuisine.
[04:22] Sec
What kind of flavor combination
did he come up with?
[04:24] Shades
Let's give it a taste.
[04:27] Megu

[04:27] Buns
Megumi is more nervous than anyone else.
[04:29] Ryoko
I can't really blame her.
[04:32] Soma

[04:35] Anne
The fact that Mr. Kuga
[04:36] Anne
decided to smoke the meat in his

[04:42] Tsuka
Kuga?
[04:43] (Flashback) Tsuka
Who's that?
[04:49] All
So dewicious!
[04:51] Both
Hell yeah!
[04:53] Shades
The moment we take a bite,
[04:55] Shades
the freshness of the green tea fills
our view with a beautiful green.
[04:59] Suit
He added balsamic vinegar and
Mimasaka Subaru's aged soy sauce
[05:02] Suit
to the black vinegar sauce
and stewed all three together.
[05:05] Suit
The tart, rich flavor wrapped itself
around the umami of the pork
[05:08] Suit
and made all of the oily, unpleasant
aftertaste disappear.
[05:11] Shades
Because of that, the green tea was pushed
forward, becoming the star of this dish!
[05:16] Shades
This destroys the classic
ideal of sweet and sour pork!
[05:18] Anne
And the following is the most
important part of this dish.
[05:21] Anne
The deliciousness of this dish
wasn't brought forth
[05:23] Anne
with techniques of Chinese cuisine alone.
[05:25] Anne
He also used techniques from
French cuisine that are on par with
[05:28] Anne
his usual Chinese cooking.
[05:30] Buns
French?
[05:31] Kuga
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going to
explain all that now, so listen up!
[05:34] Kuga
There's another little touch
to the black vinegar sauce.
[05:36] Kuga
Sauce au vinaigre balsamique.
[05:39] Kuga
That sauce, used in French cuisine,
is actually the base of this sauce.
[05:43] Anne
Indeed. Sauce au vinaigre balsamique
is made by boiling down fond de veau,
[05:47] Anne
and then boiling that down even more with
glace de viande and balsamic vinegar.
[05:52] Anne
It has both a light tanginess and
a thick richness, which brings
[05:56] Anne
this sweet and sour pork
to a new dimension!
[06:00] Rindo
Wow, who would've thought?
Kuga actually used French?
[06:03] ---
Amazing!
[06:04] Glasses
But how'd he come up with
that idea and technique?
[06:06] Isa
I thought he just specialized
in Chinese cooking.
[06:08] Kuga
Ever since I lost to you,
[06:10] Kuga
I've spent every day fighting
to change my technique.
[06:16] Kuga
I broke this shell of Sichuan
and Chinese cuisine.
[06:19] Kuga
I'm going to defeat Tsukasa Eishi today
[06:22] Kuga
so that he can never ask,
"Kuga? Who's that?" again!
[06:26] Tsuka
You truly have changed, Kuga.
[06:29] Tsuka
I respect that.
[06:31] Tsuka
But I don't think we third-years
are so easily defeated
[06:35] Tsuka
that you can beat us with hard work alone.
[06:50] Girl
The green tea's aroma alone is
making my body so sensitive!
[06:54] Tsuka
Um, could you also enjoy the sauce
in my dish, and not just the puree?
[07:00] Tsuka
I'd like you to taste all
four purees all at once.
[07:04] Anne
Please wait! I'm not sure if I can take
any more stimulation right now.
[07:07] tsuka
Uh, but then my dish wouldn't be complete.
[07:12] Tsuka
I really need you to taste this immediately.
[07:14] Tsuka
Here.
[07:15] Anne
P-Please wait...
[07:16] Anne
No! I can't!
[07:20] Anne
It's so stimulating, yet somehow so refined...
[07:23] Suit
It's such a gentle taste,
but it's toying with my heart.
[07:26] Shades
This dish is truly...
[07:29] All
...A Love Supreme in physical form!
[07:33] Buns
What's going on?
[07:34] Niku
Is it really that amazing?!
[07:36] Hayama
Such a rich aroma...
[07:38] Haya
The best aspects of each type
of tea leaf are standing out.
[07:42] Suit
A gradated puree soup made
from four green teas.
[07:45] Shades
Chickpeas, artichoke, cèpe,
and white asparagus.
[07:49] Anne
He combined each green tea with
the most compatible ingredient
[07:52] Anne
and created a quenelle-like puree.
[07:55] Megu
The green tea and the ingredients
bring the best out of
[07:58] Megu
one another, elegantly changing the flavor.
[08:01] Kuro
Did he really bring out the best
of each type of tea leaf that much?
[08:05] Alice
The secret must be in the sauce.
[08:07] Anne
Indeed! A cappuccino sauce created from
green tea and Champignons de Paris.
[08:12] Suit
If you eat them all at once,
the gradated flavors intensify even more!
[08:16] Shades
The four distinct tea aromas
are brought together like velvet!
[08:31] Anne
The winner of this match
[08:33] Anne
is Mr. Tsukasa!
[08:39] Guy
It's no use.
[08:41] Guy
He's just too strong.
[08:42] Kuro
This is the strength of the one who
stands at the top of Central...
[08:45] Hayama
This is the strength of the
First Seat of the Elite Ten.
[08:47] Isshiki
You're right. He's too strong.
[08:49] Isshi
But there has to be some
way we can still win.
[08:54] Girl

[09:34] Rindo
All right! Let's keep this up tomorrow!
[09:37] Rindo
You should appear tomorrow, too! Let's settle—
[09:40] Tsuka
No, I don't think I will.
[09:42] Tsuka
I'm more exhausted than I thought I'd be.
[09:45] Tsuka
I'm going to rest tomorrow.
[09:47] Rindo
What the hell, Tsukasa?!
Don't you go soft on me n—
[09:53] Nene
Are you both all right?
[09:59] Rindo
Yeah... Megishima's ramen
was pretty amazing, too.
[10:04] Rindo
I'm beat just from going
one-on-one with him.
[10:06] Tsuka
Looks like you're a lot tougher than us, Saito.
[10:10] Saito
No, I wouldn't say so.
[10:12] Saito
I felt as though I was dueling
with my own shadow...
[10:16] Saito
I'm quite exhausted myself.
[10:18] Saito
The Perfect Trace was a formidable foe.
[10:21] Soma
So this is what Nakiri was talking
about before the second bout.
[10:26] (Flashback) Erina
If we're just crushed by
their overwhelming strength,
[10:32] (Flashback) Erina
we'll have died in vain.
[10:36] (Flashback) Erina
But if we're able to wear down
[10:38] (Flashback) Erina
our opponents' stamina and concentration,
[10:40] (Flashback) Erina
that won't happen.
[10:42] (Flashback) Erina
That'll just boost the chances of
the members who come after!
[10:47] (Flashback) Erina
That is our strategy to get
through this Team Shokugeki!
[10:52] Erina
This loss wasn't in vain.
[10:55] Erina
It actually gives us great hope.
[10:58] Erina
We still have our solidarity.
[11:02] Sec
Yeah, we still have a chance!
[11:04] Niku
We haven't lost all hope!
[11:06] Isshiki
She's still heading toward
victory without wavering.
[11:09] Isshi
Looks like she's starting
to act like a leader.
[11:13] Kuga
Ugh, talk about depressing! I seriously
thought I was going to win!
[11:17] Kuga
Yukihira-chin!
[11:19] Kuga
I'm tired! Massage my shoulders!
[11:20] Soma
You got it!
[11:22] Kuga
Wipe my sweat.
[11:22] Soma
You got it!
[11:23] Kuga
I'm thirsty. Get me some tea.
[11:25] Kuga
Hurry it up.
[11:26] Soma
You got it!
[11:27] Soma
This is the green tea Tsukasa-senpai made!
[11:37] (Flashback) Tsuka
You truly have changed, Kuga.
[11:40] (Flashback) Tsuka
I respect that.
[11:42] Kuga
Well, at least I got to see
Tsukassan look troubled,
[11:45] Kuga
and I managed to annoy them,
[11:48] Kusa
so I guess I can accept that.
[11:51] Tsuka
Yukihira...
[11:52] Tsuka
I'll probably skip out on tomorrow,
in order to get back into top condition.
[11:57] Tsuka
If you still want to fight me,
[11:59] Tsuka
you might want to skip out on tomorrow
as well, to better your chances.
[12:03] Soma
Nope!
[12:04] Soma
I'll be appearing tomorrow.
[12:06] Soma
We came here to win as a team.
[12:09] Soma
My job right now is to pass the
baton to Isshiki-senpai and Nakiri
[12:13] Soma
by causing as much of a ruckus as I can
and chipping away at your numbers.
[12:18] Soma
Isn't that right, guys?
[12:19] Taku
Yeah.
[12:20] Megu
Yup!
[12:21] Soma
So...
[12:22] Soma

SIGN The Next Day
SIGN Totsuki Resort Hotel Chain "The Snowy Moon"
[13:01] Buns
I didn't get any sleep at all.
[13:04] Ryoko
Yeah... Even though we're not the
ones who should be nervous.
[13:08] Buns
I wonder if Takumicchi is nervous, too.
[13:10] Buns
He's just been quietly standing there.
[13:12] Isa
Don't worry.
[13:13] Isa
That's just what he looks like when
he's concentrating in the kitchen.
[13:17] Buns
Oh, I see. Guess you guys really are twins!
[13:19] Ryoko
Where's Megumi?
[13:20] Niku
She's trying to distract herself
from her own nerves.
[13:25] Sec
Yes, follow through with that stroke!
[13:27] Sec
Visualize using your elbow
rather than your wrist.
[13:29] Ryoko
She actually looks even more nervous now.
[13:33] Yuki
Yeah...
[13:34] Niku
The other one should probably
be a little more worried.
[13:38] Soma
Man, the hotel breakfast was great!
[13:41] Soma
Hokkaido's totally awesome.
[13:43] Haya
How did I get stuck playing with you guys?
[13:46] Kuro
You're holding on to the queen of
diamonds, aren't you, milady?
[13:50] Alice
Whatever do you mean?
[13:51] Niku
Um, Erina-sama, should you be doing this?
[13:54] Erina
What? Oh, well, it's better than everyone
panicking from being too nervous.
[14:00] Erina
Alice! I don't think you
should play that card yet!
[14:03] Alice
What the heck? Shut up, Erina!
[14:05] Niku
I'm pretty sure Erina-sama wanted
to play with them, too...
[14:05] Alice/Erina
Rawr! Rawr! Rawr! Rawr! Rawr! Rawr!
[14:09] Alice
You're not going to play cards, Miss Secretary?
[14:11] Sec
Huh? Er, no!
[14:12] Sec
I failed in the exams... I have no
right to partake in any amusement.
[14:16] Alice
You're the only one who's
still upset about that.
[14:26] Soma
Heh. I'm out.
[14:30] Kuro
One more time, Yukihira!
[14:32] Haya
Stop putting that stupid bandana on.
[14:34] Soma
I think it's about time.
[14:41] Soma
Are you all alone, Momo-senpai?
Where are the others?
[14:44] Momo
So-myan and Etsu-nyan already
left for the venue.
SIGN So-myan
SIGN Etsu-nyan
[14:48] Soma
So-myan and Etsu-nyan?
[14:50] Taku
What about Tsukasa-senpai
and Kobayashi-senpai?
[14:52] Momo
They're still resting in their rooms.
[14:54] Momo
In order to recover as fast as possible.
[14:59] Soma
Is Saito-senpai okay?
[15:01] Momo
Well, So-myan...
[15:03] Momo
did mizugori last night and this morning.
[15:05] Momo
That apparently took care of his fatigue.
[15:07] Soma
He threw cold water on himself?
[15:08] Taku
In the dead of winter? In Hokkaido?
[15:11] Taku
I'm pretty sure that would
just worsen his condition...
[15:13] Momo
So-myan's just fine, Taku-myan.
[15:16] Taku
Taku-myan?
SIGN Taku-myan
[15:17] Momo
That's the nickname I just gave you.
[15:20] Momo
I really love cute things.
[15:22] Momo
And sweets are the cutest of all foods.
[15:27] Momo
That's why I became a pâtissier.
[15:29] Momo
So when I want to refer to someone,
I want to do it in a cute way.
[15:33] Momo
Taku-myan, Isa-myan, and Niku-myan.
SIGN Taku-myan
SIGN Isa-myan
SIGN Niku-myan
SIGN Myan
[15:37] Momo
It's really nice that your names
end in "mi." It's really cute.
SIGN Teru-nyan
SIGN Kuga Terunori
[15:41] Momo
Teru-nyan also has an "n" in
his name, so I can use "nyan."
[15:44] Momo
I like that a lot.
[15:46] Momo
I like your name, too. It's Soma,
so it also has an "m" sound.
[15:50] Momo
I can use "myan" since your name has
the "m" sound, so you're So-myan.
[15:53] Momo
Aw, but then you'd be the
same as our So-myan.
SIGN So-myan
[15:57] Momo
So you'll be Yuki-hyan.
[15:58] Soma
Hyan?
SIGN Yuki-hyan
[15:59] Megu
Akanegakubo-senpai sure is talking a lot today.
SIGN "Hyan"
[16:00] Soma
Is "hyan" actually cute?
[16:01] Momo
Yup, but just barely.
SIGN "Just barely"
[16:03] Isshi
She's pretty shy for a while
when you first meet her,
[16:04] Soma
Ah, just barely...
[16:06] Isshi
but once she gets used to you,
she's a senpai that loves to talk.
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten, Third Seat
[16:10] Isshi
Though she likes admiring cute things,
[16:13] Isshi
which also means she's looking down on you.
[16:17] Isshi
She only gives those nicknames to
those she considers beneath her.
[16:24] Momo
Aw... Bucchi's tummy is full of student IDs.
It makes him really heavy.
[16:32] Momo
So heavy.
[16:33] Momo
So heavy!
[16:37] Momo
Oh, yeah, Megu-myan...
[16:39] Momo
Good luck today.
[16:41] Megu
Th-Thanks...
[16:45] Girl
Test, test, mic test...
[16:48] Girl
Today is a sunny day.
[16:50] Saito
Were you able to rest well last night, Eizan?
[16:53] Saito
Our opponents may be underclassmen,
but they are formidable.
[16:55] Saito
Let us face their challenge in high spirits.
[16:58] Eizan
Yeah, my spirits are plenty high,
and I'm raring to go.
[17:03] Eizan
I'm ready to murder that bastard.
[17:06] Saito
Are you that worried about the
match you drew yesterday?
[17:09] eizan
Well, I was planning on crushing Yukihira.
[17:14] Saito
Those are the matches they chose.
Our opponents are our juniors.
[17:17] Saito
Letting them choose is a part of bushido.
[17:20] Eizan
I'll just use this rage on
who I'm up against today.
[17:24] Momo
So-myan...
[17:26] Momo
Make sure you win, okay?
[17:28] Saito
You too, Akanegakubo.

Good morning, everyone!

Saito Somei vs. Yukihira Soma
[17:40] Girl
Despite being from a dumpy
diner and having no right to be
[17:43] Girl
at Totsuki in the first place,
[17:45] Girl
this annoying jerk managed
to get this far.
[17:49] Girl

Crush the rebel scum!

Good point.
SIGN Sushi
[18:19] Soma
Huh?
SIGN Butter
[18:22] Girl
He got butter.
[18:23] Sec
Butter?
[18:23] Glasses
He pulled butter for a sushi
chef like Saito Somei?
[18:27] Buns
This might've actually been a good pull.
[18:29] Ryoko
Yeah! He might not be unlucky this time.
[18:32] Saito
Ah, butter...
[18:34] Satio
Then I shall make kaisendon.
[18:37] Buns
What?! Kaisendon with butter?
[18:40] Niku
Is that a thing?
[18:41] Soma
What a coincidence. I'm planning
on a rice dish myself.

Do his blue eyes see his own destruction?

His opponent is the ghost
of money and gourmet!

He's made countless chefs bend
at the knee with his power.

Eizan Etsuya versus Takumi Aldini!

And now for the third match!
[19:34] Ura
Western sweets, Japanese sweets,
anything goes!
[19:36] Ura
The professional sweets maker,
Akanegakubo Momo!
[19:41] Ura
And what's this? The student who just
about got expelled six months ago!
[19:46] Ura
They put Tadokoro Megumi
up against her!
[19:49] Ura
Are they just throwing this match away?
[19:52] Ura
As for the theme...
SIGN Apples
[19:54] Ura
The classic winter fruit!
[19:56] Ura
Apples!
[19:58] Sec
Apples?
[19:59] Glasses
That'd give her a lot of options.
[20:01] Glasses
Normally, that'd be a good pull, but...
[20:04] Niku
Her opponent is the sole
pâtissier in the Elite Ten.
[20:06] Yuki
That's a perfect theme for sweets!
[20:09] Ryoko
If the theme was veggies, Megumi would
be able to use her specialty!
[20:12] Momo
We got apples.
[20:14] Momo
So, Bucchi, what should we make?
[20:17] Momo
I'll make a super-duper-cute dish
[20:20] Momo
that'll be so cute, it'll beat our enemy.
[20:24] Momo
Let's do our best.
[20:27] Soma
Okay, let's do this.
[20:30] Taku

Let the preparations begin!
SIGN Shokugeki
[21:03] Saito
Yukihira Soma, I'm not going to hold back.
[21:08] Soma
Bring it on!
[21:10] Momo
I wonder if Yuki-hyan and the
others really understand
[21:13] Momo
that they're in a lot of trouble.
[21:16] Eizan
If you guys get stomped here,
that'll leave only two rebels.
[21:21] Soma
That goes for you, as well.
[21:24] Soma
If you three get wiped out,
you'll only have the exhausted two left.
[21:28] Eizan
Keep dreaming.
[21:30] Eizan
Don't think the same
thing will happen again.
[21:33] Isshiki
This might end up being the
most important battle.
[21:35] Isshiki
Who's going to get the checkmate?
[21:38] Isshiki
That'll be up to the dishes Soma-kun
and the other first-years present.
[21:43] Soma
Hey, Senpais,
[21:46] Soma
you probably shouldn't underestimate
us first-years like that.

They built such a massive food storage
facility right next to the venue...
[00:10] Taku
I guess that's Totsuki Academy for you.
[00:12] Taku
They even have several specialty ingredients.
[00:15] Megu
Wow...
[00:16] Soma
Hey, you two. They've got
really great vegetables here!
[00:20] Soma
First come, first served!

Should you really sound like you're

[00:25] Megu
Um... The ingredients I'm looking for are...
[00:28] Eizan
Move. You're in my way.
[00:30] Megu
I'm so sorry!
[00:33] Eizan
Hey, Elder Aldini,
could you not glare at me?
[00:37] Taku
Oh, I do apologize.
But I need to give it my all.
[00:42] Taku
I have the honor of going head-to-head
with such an esteemed senpai.
[00:45] Eizan
That's not what your eyes
are saying, you first-year brat.
[00:48] Momo
Etsu-nyan, could you grab that for me?
[00:51] Eizan
Just get it yourself!
[00:53] Momo
That's not easy when I'm so small.
[00:55] Momo
Oh, push my cart for me, too.
[00:57] Momo
I'm too busy carrying Bucchi.
[01:00] Eizan
I'm pretty sure if you just
threw that plushie into the cart,
[01:03] Eizan
it'd free up your hands.
[01:05] Momo
I believe you meant "Bucchi," not "plushie.”
[01:07] Eizan
Right...
[01:08] Momo
Bucchi's full, so he's really heavy right now.
[01:12] Eizan
Oh, right. All the student IDs
are inside that plushie.
[01:15] Momo
"Bucchi."
[01:17] Eizan
Right.
[01:17] Momo
I'm counting on you, Etsu-nyan.
[01:25] Megu
Wow, there are so many varieties of weak flour.
[01:29] Momo
If you're going to make a sponge cake,
I recommend the one on the very right.
[01:34] Megu
Th-Thank you very much.
[01:36] Momo
It's no problem. You're my
cute little kohai, after all,
[01:40] Momo
Megu-myan.
[01:42] (Flashback) Isshi
She likes admiring cute things,

[01:57] Megu
Calm down. It's okay.
[02:00] Megu
I trained so hard with them on the
Tsukikage on the way to Rebun Island...
[02:05] Megu
With amazing chefs like
Joichiro-san and Chef Dojima.

Now, how is Tadokoro-kun going to fight?
[04:56] Guy
She had...

...Shinomiya Kojiro train her?!
[04:59] Erina
Yes. Chef Shinomiya accepted
Chef Dojima's invitation and joined us.
[05:04] Buns
What's with that extravagant lineup?
[05:06] Haya
He actually managed to get the
Magician of Légumes here.
[05:09] Haya
You can tell how serious
Chef Dojima is about this.
[05:11] Alice
I guess we're going to see
her progress in this Shokugeki.
[05:14] Erina
Yes, absolutely.
[05:20] (Flashback) Doji
Up until yesterday,
[05:22] (Flashback) Doji
you worked hard to strengthen your
teamwork through mock battles,
[05:26] (Flashback) Doji
but during the Team Shokugeki,
[05:28] (Flashback) Doji
there will be times when you need
to be able to fight on your own.
[05:33] (Flashback) Doji
What we're about to do is
boost your individual strengths.
[05:37] (Flashback) Doji
For today, Joichiro will take Yukihira Soma.
[05:41] (Flashback) Doji
I'll take Aldini-kun.
[05:43] (Flashback) Doji
Senzaemon-dono will oversee Nakiri-kun.
[05:46] (Flashback) Doji
And as for Tadokoro-kun...
[05:52] (Flashback) Shino
So, uh... Yeah...
[05:54] (Flashback) Shino
Let's have you show me what you can do.
[05:57] (Flashback) Shino
Make a dish.
[06:00] (Flashback) Megu
Um, so, uh...
[06:03] (Flashback) Shino
I'm saying that I'll be training you personally,
[06:08] (Flashback) Shino
Tadokoro Megumi.
[06:12] (Flashback) Soma
Hey! It's Master Shinomiya!
[06:14] (Flashback) Taku
Chef Shinomiya, who won
the French Pluspol award?
[06:17] (Flashback) Erina
But Tadokoro-san is acting strange.
[06:20] (Flashback) Soma
Could it be that...
[06:23] (Flashback) Shino
You're fired.
[06:24] (Flashback) Soma
She's remembering what happened at the
training camp and freaking out?
[06:29] (Flashback) Shino
Hurry up and make me a dish!
[06:31] (Flashback) Megu
Y-Yes, sir?!
[06:36] (Flashback) Megu
This isn't salt, it's sugar...
[06:38] (Flashback) Shino
Are you a total novice at cooking?!
[06:40] (Flashback) Shino
You could do more than
this at the training camp!
[06:43] (Flashback) Megu
I-I-I-I-I'm sorry!
[06:45] (Flashback) Erina
She's completely stiff from nerves.
[06:47] (Flashback) Soma
I think Master Shinomiya
being here might've backfired.
[06:50] (Flashback) Taku
Don't be so honest.
[06:53] (Flashback) Megu
Person... Person... Person...
[06:56] (Flashback) Doji
So you're going to give up, too?
[06:58] (Flashback) Shino
Did you come here to mock me, Dojima-san?
[07:02] (Flashback) Doji
Still, I'm surprised, Shinomiya.
[07:05] (Flashback) Shino
About what?
[07:06] (Flashback) Doji
I didn't think you'd be so willing
to help with this training.
[07:11] (Flashback) Doji
Were you also concerned with
where Totsuki is going?
[07:14] (Flashback) Shino
Not really. I could care less
about the Azami administration.
[07:19] (Flashback) Shino
Central, was it?
[07:21] (Flashback) Shino
My place won't have
anything to do with them,
[07:24] (Flashback) Shino
nor will we cater to his wishes.
[07:26] (Flashback) Shino
I just did this on a whim.
[07:29] Shino
That's right. It was just on a whim.
[07:31] Shino
"I might be the next to lead someone."
[07:35] Shino
When I thought about that,
[07:37] Shino
the first things to come to mind
were the faces of Yukihira Soma...
[07:40] Shino
and her.
[07:43] (Flashback) Shino
Tadokoro Megumi!
[07:45] (Flashback) Shino
You need guts! If you're a
true chef, show some guts!
[07:49] (Flashback) Taku
Seriously? He's going to start
spewing stuff like that right now?
[07:52] (Flashback) Soma
Yeah, this ain't gonna work!
[07:54] (Flashback) Shino
You need to grow up, you country bumpkin!
[07:58] (Flashback) Shino
Is that all you've got?!
[08:05] Megu
N-No!
[08:06] Shino
In that case, try to endure my training!
[08:10] Shino
Take the frustration, sweat, and tears,
and smash them into that ball!

Hit me with another one!
[08:30] (Flashback) Shino
Uh... Okay!
[08:32] (Flashback) Shino
We're gonna catch you right up!
[08:34] (Flashback) Megu
Right, Coach! I'll give it a try!
[08:38] (Flashback) Soma
What's this about a coach?
[08:40] (Flashback) Doji
Tadokoro-kun's approach toward vegetables
[08:42] (Flashback) Doji
has the potential to grow with the help
of Shinomiya, who also specializes
SIGN Magician of Légumes
[08:46] (Flashback) Doji
in vegetable cuisine.

If I were to give them a name...

[08:55] Megu
I'm going to try to use everything I learned
[08:58] Megu
from Coach Shinomiya in this match.
[09:00] Megu
For the sake of our victory!
[09:02] Girl
The chefs have returned
from the food storage facility!
[09:06] Girl
It's finally time to start cooking!
[09:08] Soma
All right, everyone gather round!
[09:13] Soma
So I want to concentrate
on richness and sweetness
[09:16] Soma
for my dish, and bring out
all of the butter's flavor.
[09:19] Taku
In that case,
[09:21] Taku
you need follow up with something
that has a clean aftertaste.
[09:24] Taku
Yuzu... Actually, apples are perfect for that.
[09:27] Megu
Okay. I should be able to support you, then.
[09:30] Megu
Also, Takumi-kun, I have a favor
to ask, if you don't mind.
[09:33] Guy
So all three of them...
[09:35] Guy
...are going to try to support one another!
[09:37] Isa
They're going to attempt something
far more difficult than
[09:40] Isa
Mimasaka-kun supporting Kuga-senpai.
[09:43] All
Yeah!
[09:44] Erina
This is the biggest reason I sent
those three out in the third bout.
[09:49] Erina
They did so many mock battles
on the Tsukikage.
[09:52] Erina
That should bring out not only their
individual strengths, but their teamwork.
[09:56] Erina
Now, go!
[09:58] Erina
Show them that my direction is perfect!
[10:01] Kuro
Miss Erina's starting to act like Miss Alice.
[10:05] Alice
What are you saying, Ryo-kun?
[10:13] Buns
Takumi's amazing!
[10:14] Ryoko
He thinly sliced the ginger perfectly!
[10:16] Isami
Those are the skills Big Bro
picked up during his Stagiaire.
[10:22] Isami
The aroma of ginger...
[10:24] Isami
The thinner and more uniformly you slice it,
[10:26] Isami
the more you can spread the aroma
throughout the whole dish.
[10:29] Megu
I'll beat the eggs, then carefully
add some Wasanbon sugar,
[10:33] Megu
which has a mild, gentle sweetness,
so it won't foam up.
[10:36] Megu
I'll also add some honey and mirin,
[10:38] Megu
and then...
[10:40] Taku
Tadokoro-san, here's some weak
flour that's already been measured.
[10:43] Taku
I took care of it while
I was working on my dish.
[10:45] Megu
Thanks!
[10:46] Taku
And this.
[10:47] Megu
Thanks!
[10:48] Soma
Here ya go, Takumi! I made sure
they were all the same size.
[10:51] Soma
Be sure to check them.
[10:52] Taku
Grazie, Yukihira!
[10:53] Megu
Soma-kun, it'll be just a little
longer for what you asked for.
[10:57] Soma
Got it!
[10:57] Soma
Thanks!
[10:59] Blonde
I feel as though I'm watching
experienced chefs in a kitchen
[11:02] Blonde
who don't miss a beat after
years of working together.
[11:04] Shades
By supporting each other even
though they don't have much time,
[11:07] Shades
tasks that would be impossible
for individuals become possible
[11:09] Shades
because they're working as a group.
[11:10] Anne
Their teamwork might put the
Elite Ten at a disadvantage.
[11:15] Isa
Big Bro! Yukihira-kun!
[11:18] Isa
Tadokoro-san! You've got this!
[11:20] Guy
Yeah!
[11:21] Guy
Kick the Elite Ten's asses!
[11:24] Girl
Calm the hell down, rebel scum!
[11:28] Girl
All their asses are gonna be expelled anyway!
[11:32] Guy
Man, she curses like a sailor.
[11:33] Guy
You seem to be increasingly short-tempered.
[11:39] Haya
This aroma...
[11:40] Haya
It's coming from Akanegakubo Momo's pot.
[11:44] Megu
Wait, what's this?
[11:48] Girl
Now, let us see both sides bring out
[11:51] Girl
the true beauty of the apples with their dish!
[11:55] Guy
Wait, from just the scent alone?
[11:57] Guy
Kawashima Urara's malicious side disappeared!
[12:01] Buns
She's somehow becoming more elegant again?!
[12:03] Ryoko
What could she possibly be making in that pot?
[12:08] Momo
Everyone's going to be entranced
by my exquisite sweets.
[12:13] Momo
Right, Bucchi?
[12:23] Girl
Oh, I've been such a
crude woman up until now.
[12:28] Girl
From now on, I'm going to become a new me!
[12:31] Girl
Good morning, little birdies!
May I sing along with you?
[12:37] Soma
She seems to be hallucinating something
really weird. Is she gonna be okay?
[12:40] Momo
Okay, Bucchi. Now for the finishing touches.
[12:49] Isami
She's finishing up her dish...
[12:51] Ryoko
...at an incredible speed!
[12:57] Momo
Okay, I'm done.
[12:59] Guy
Wait, she's done?
[13:01] Guy
The heck is that?
[13:02] Buns
What's going on?
[13:04] Kuro
A bouquet of roses...
[13:06] Alice
Is this some kind of performance?
[13:08] Haya
No...
[13:08] Shades
At first glance, it looks like roses,
but when you take a closer look...
[13:12] Blonde
Every single rose sits atop a pie crust.
[13:15] Anne
These roses must be sweets made with apples.
[13:21] Blonde
This gorgeous yet elegant scent...
[13:24] Shades
I feel like I'm in a dream.
[13:29] Buns
Even the judges...
[13:30] Ryoko
...are reacting to the scent alone!
[13:31] Momo
Welcome to my world.
[13:34] Momo
Enjoy every bite.
[13:37] Momo
Love...
[13:38] Anne
Amazing!
[13:39] Anne
The aroma leaves my nose
blossoming into flowers,
[13:42] Anne
and the crisp texture of the apples
entertains my mouth to no end.
[13:45] Blonde
This is damask rose!
[13:46] Soma
Damask... rose? Oh, so it's made with roses.
[13:50] Momo
Yes, like this one. It's one
of my favorite flowers.
[13:54] Momo
It smells so nice.
[13:56] Anne
The rose known to have the
most elegant fragrance,
[13:59] Anne
also known as the queen of roses.
[14:02] Anne
Queen Cleopatra loved these roses
[14:04] Anne
and put them in her bath so
she could enjoy their scent.
[14:08] Guy
So they're apple sweets with
the scent of roses in them.
[14:11] Guy
Of course it's delicious!
[14:13] Hayama
Despite having a scent that strong
infused in it, it didn't fall apart.
[14:17] Kuro
Yeah, to make the scent that strong,
you'd have to reduce the whole thing,
[14:17] Alice
Yup... Yup... Yup... Yup...
[14:20] Kuro
but simmering would turn the apples to mush.
[14:23] Momo
I didn't simmer them.
[14:25] Momo
I just let the apples soak
up the roses' scent.
[14:28] Momo
It is a lot of work, though.
[14:30] Momo
After I gently wash the
damask rose petals in water,
[14:34] Momo
I toss them all into the pot.
[14:37] Momo
That's how I make a really sweet,
pink rose syrup.
[14:41] Momo
I slice up the apples really thin,
[14:43] Momo
and lightly heat them up in an
extract of boiled apple peels.
[14:46] Momo
Then I add the rose syrup.
[14:49] Momo
Then I leave them alone for several minutes.
[14:52] Momo
That way, the rose's delicate
pink color and wonderful scent
[14:56] Momo
permeate throughout the apple slices.
[14:59] Momo
Just boiling them down isn't very queenly.
[15:03] Momo
An elegant and relaxed bath is
much more fitting for a queen.
[15:07] Momo
I call this lovely dish of
mine the Queen's Apple Tart.
SIGN Queen's Apple Tart
[15:14] Momo
This basket is made out
of bread, so it's edible, too.
[15:18] Momo
It's so cute. Oh, so cute.
[15:22] Kuro
This reminds me of the Momiji Meet-and-Greet.
[15:24] Hayama
The sweets she made then also
brought out the best of the apples.
[15:29] Shades
Letting the apples slowly
soak in the rose syrup...
[15:31] Shades
That actually takes a huge amount of
very delicate and masterful technique.
[15:35] Blonde
If she couldn't correctly determine
the temperature of the water,
[15:37] Blonde
she wouldn't be able to make a pure syrup.
[15:39] Shades
Not a smidgen of the ingredient's
flavor can escape.
[15:42] Shades
As a result, the apple's original sweetness
[15:44] Shades
and gentle tartness become
the base of the flavor.
[15:47] Blonde
She reduced the apple peels' syrup
[15:49] Blonde
and brushed that on to bring out
the color and shine of the roses.
[15:52] Anne
Her sense of artistry also extends
to her plating and presentation.
[15:56] Anne
It was as though she stepped
out of a fairy tale.
[15:59] Blonde
Yes... She is truly
[16:01] Blonde
a character straight out of a fairy tale!
[16:04] Shades
She is a fairy godmother who cast a spell
[16:07] Shades
on such a simple ingredient,
turning it into a princess!
[16:10] Anne
Everyone who consumes her sweets...
[16:14] All
...becomes a citizen of her fairy tale land!
[16:18] Blonde
How wonderful...
[16:19] Blonde
Her magic has seeped all the way
into the depths of our hearts.
[16:23] Shades
Could any dish possibly beat that?
[16:30] Soma
Tadokoro...
[16:36] Megu
Thank you for waiting. Please enjoy.
[16:40] Ryoko
Akanegakubo-senpai's dish was
literally an elegant bouquet of roses.
[16:43] Guy
We need a dish that packs
a punch to match her!
[16:46] Buns
Knock it out of the park, Megumi!
[16:48] Guy
What's the dish she came up with?
SIGN Totsuki
[16:53] All
A dorayaki?!
[16:54] Guy
Miss Plain Jane...
[16:56] Ryoko
How fitting of Megumi.
[16:58] Buns
She definitely lost in the
extravagant visuals department.
[17:00] Guy
No, what matters is the flavor!
It all comes down to the flavor!
[17:04] Anne
Let us begin the deliberations.
[17:07] Anne
The inside has shiroan, white bean paste,
[17:08] Anne
and mixed with that are
diced chunks of apple.
[17:11] Blonde
Oh... I'm being embraced in the
apples' juicy and elegant aroma.
[17:16] Blonde
But at the moment, both the visuals
and the aroma of the apple tart
[17:21] Blonde
are still far superior.
[17:22] Shades
I wouldn't say that. Dorayaki has
an 800-year history in Japan.
[17:27] Shades
Sandwiching the filling between two cakes
[17:29] Shades
is said to have been influenced
by Western pancakes.
[17:32] Shades
How fascinating on a cultural level!
[17:34] Blonde
Oh, that's right. You like that sort of thing.
[17:37] Shades
Now, then...
[17:46] Blonde
Histoire?
[17:47] Megu
Love!
[17:52] Blonde
Wasanbon sugar, honey, and tofu
make up the smooth, silky cakes
[17:57] Blonde
that gently caress our lips.
[17:59] Shades
The mellow flavor spreads
across my tongue like fireworks,
[18:02] Shades
lighting up and exploding!
[18:05] Shades
The mild tartness of the apples
[18:07] Shades
gently fades away.
[18:09] Anne
The delicious flavors spreading in my mouth
[18:11] Anne
almost feel like they're going
directly to my brain.
[18:14] Anne
The moist richness of these cakes
packs that much of a punch.
[18:19] Shades
The greatest secret behind this flavor is
[18:21] Shades
what's spread on the inside of the cakes...
[18:23] Shades
The apple butter!
[18:26] Shades
Just as the name suggests,
it's grated apple, lemon juice, and sugar
[18:31] Shades
added to melted butter.
[18:33] Shades
The fruits' original flavors
harmonize with the butter,
[18:36] Shades
giving it acidity, saltiness, and richness!
[18:40] Blonde
But in order to make this correctly,
[18:42] Blonde
you need to perfectly blend these
two totally different ingredients
[18:45] Blonde
together and emulsify them.
SIGN Oil
SIGN Water
[18:48] Blonde
It's rather similar to attempting
to mix oil with water.
[18:52] Anne
Even professionals have difficulty
bringing out the butter's smooth shine
[18:55] Anne
without letting it separate.
[18:56] Anne
This requires a rather
specific cooking technique.
[19:00] Megu
Yes. I used monter au beurre,
[19:03] Megu
a French cooking technique.
[19:08] Shino
The key to victory
[19:09] Shino
is to instantly determine the true
deliciousness of your ingredients.
[19:13] (Flashback) Shino
Then you need to also build up
those flavors in a masterful way.
[19:17] (Flashback) Shino
What you need is knowledge and skill.
[19:19] (Flashback) Shino
What I'm about to show you
is one of those skills:
[19:22] (Flashback) Shino
monter au beurre.
[19:24] (Flashback) Shino
Though I'm not sure if
you'll be able to master it
[19:26] (Flashback) Shino
in the few days we have until the Shokugeki.
SIGN Can you master it...?

[19:35] (Flashback) Megu
I'll get through it!
[19:38] (Flashback) Megu
Please teach me, Coach!
[19:41] (Flashback) Shino
You're too slow, slowpoke!
It's already separating!
[19:44] (Flashback) Megu
I-I-I'm sorry!
[19:46] (Flashback) Shino
After taking it off the heat,
you need to gently stir it!
[19:48] (Flashback) Megu
Y-Yes, sir!
[19:49] (Flashback) Shino
Hey! You haven't reduced
all the liquid yet!
[19:52] (Flashback) Megu
Y-Yes, sir!
[19:53] (Flashback) Shino
Don't make me keep repeating myself.
You need to be faster, slowpoke.
[19:56] (Flashback) Megu
Y-Y-Yes, sir!
[20:02] All
Expulsion, expulsion, expulsion, expulsion...
[20:07] Shino
Aim for victory...
[20:11] (Flashback) Megu
Yes, sir. Please show me
one more time, coach!
[20:14] (Flashback) Shino
S-Sure... Good grief.
[20:18] Shino
Out of all the people I've taught,
[20:21] Shino
you are by far the slowest.
[20:25] Shino
You're slow, but...
[20:27] Shino
You are in no way a fool.
[20:31] Blonde
An incredible amount of deliciousness
is shaking up my heart!
[20:34] Shades
It's as though she's showing
off her fighting style.
[20:38] Shino
Tadokoro... Aim for victory.
[20:41] Megu
Yes, Coach.
[20:45] anne
A fighter and her coach,
apples and butter...
[20:48] anne
By successfully bringing together
two completely different things...
[20:52] megu
I'll punch like I'm bashing your face in.
[20:54] megu
Punch!
[20:56] Megu
Punch!
[20:57] Megu
Punch!
[20:59] anne
It packs a punch to knock your socks off!
[21:07] Blonde
I thought the winner would be obvious.
[21:10] Blonde
But I will gladly admit that
my prediction was totally off!
[21:13] Shades
But even so,
[21:15] shadeS
it can be said that this doesn't compare
to the intense aroma and sweetness
[21:19] shades
Akanegakubo Momo came up with.
[21:22] Guy
Seriously?!
[21:23] Buns
Megumi!
[21:27] Anne
Her eyes... She hasn't given up yet?
[21:30] Anne
Is there another secret
hidden within this dish?
[21:36] Anne
This flavor...
[21:38] Blonde
What is it, Anne?
[21:40] Anne
You'll find out if you keep eating.
[21:43] Shades
If we keep eating?
[21:46] Megu
Love! Love!
[21:56] Momo
I wonder what Megu-myan did.

What's going on here?
[00:14] Ura
The judges are reacting yet again
to Tadokoro Megumi's dish.
[00:18] Shades
I see... The center of the dorayaki.
[00:21] Shades
She put apple confiture in it.
[00:24] Blonde
Though the apple is the star of
this jam, it also includes ginger.
[00:27] Anne
The vivid impression you get when
the jam is combined with the
[00:31] Anne
chunks of apple and the
dorayaki cake is wonderful.
[00:33] Anne
This ginger must be what
Mr. Aldini was chopping up, right?
[00:37] Megu
Yes.
[00:38] Megu
I chopped Takumi-kun's needle
ginger into even smaller pieces.
[00:43] Megu
I got the idea when I heard that
Takumi-kun was going to use ginger.
[00:46] Megu
I thought that maybe when
you bit into the center after
[00:49] Megu
eating the mildly sweet shiroan paste,
[00:51] Megu
the tartness would fill your mouth,
bringing out an even deeper flavor.
[00:56] Megu
The apple butter and confiture...
[00:58] Megu
They may look similar,
[01:00] Megu
but the difference in their flavors
and the change they cause...
[01:03] Megu
That's the final trump card of my dorayaki.
[01:06] Guy
Who knew she had a card
like that up her sleeve?
[01:09] Ryoko
It's because they look so much alike that

That was indeed a stealth punch
to those enjoying the dish.

until the very last moment!

Your effort to put so many surprises
into a single dorayaki was commendable.
[03:38] Shades
But the slight bitterness
in the confiture at the end
[03:42] Shades
upstaged the mild sweetness of the shiroan.
[03:46] Blonde
I agree.
[03:47] Blonde
But it looks like Anne voted for Tadokoro-san.
[03:50] Anne
Indeed.
[03:51] Anne

She doesn't need any cheering up right now.

But would you deliver a message to her for me?

[06:40] Soma
Could you give me some pointers
on how to make good pizza crust?
[06:43] Taku
Go concentrate on your own dish, Yukihira.
[06:45] Ryoko
He's making pizza dough?
[06:47] Buns
Takumicchi's planning on
making pizza with shigureni?
[06:50] Blonde
Pizza with shigureni! How eccentric!
[06:53] Shades
Yes. I can't wait to see the completed dish.
[06:56] Eizan
Oh? Shigureni, eh?
[07:03] Eizan
You must've crawled your way up here
still harboring your frustration from
[07:07] Eizan
losing against Mimasaka
at the Autumn Elections.
[07:10] Eizan
What a model chef. Very inspiring.
[07:14] Eizan
Too bad for you,
[07:15] Eizan
but I think your pride is going
to take another crushing hit...
[07:21] Eizan
Takumi Aldini.
[07:24] Urara
Only the first and second matches
remain in the third bout.
[07:28] Urara
Please take a look at what's
in Eizan-senpai's hand!
[07:30] Urara
Look at that volume!
And it looks oh-so-juicy!
[07:35] Urara
Look at that beautiful slab of roast beef!
[07:39] Niku
That's no novice technique.
[07:41] Niku
He's heated the meat to its core.
It's the ultimate roast beef!
[07:47] Ryoko
Horseradish...
[07:49] Buns
And also fresh cream, yogurt, and anchovies.
[07:52] Shun
It looks like he's making a
cream sauce to go with the meat.
[07:56] Glasses
There's no hesitation in his movements.
[07:58] Glasses
No wonder he's in the Elite Ten.
His preparation techniques are top notch!
[08:03] Guy
Why are you complimenting him, Marui?
[08:05] Guy
Did you forget what that bastard
did to the Polar Star Dormitory?
[08:08] Glasses
Of course...
[08:09] Glasses
There's no way I'd forget.
[08:14] Buns
You've got this, Takumicchi!
[08:15] Guy
Don't lose to that genius yakuza guy!
[08:17] Guy
Take him down!
[08:19] Glasses
You have to win!
[08:21] Eizan
They sure are counting on you.
[08:24] Eizan
Though I only did it due to the reform,
[08:26] Eizan
I did end up doing a number on their dorm.
[08:29] Eizan
People seem to find reasons
to hate me quite easily.
[08:33] Eizan
Would you be one of those people, too?
[08:35] Eizan
Mimasaka's the one who challenged you
to a Shokugeki at the Autumn Elections.
[08:40] Eizan
I was just earnestly running
the Autumn Elections.
[08:44] Eizan
I don't think it's fair that
I'm the one getting hated on.
[08:47] Taku
Hate? That word doesn't quite sum
up the feelings I have toward you.
[08:52] Taku
At the very least, I don't hate you.
[08:55] Taku
I'm just here to win. That is all.
[08:58] Somei
Eizan is obviously used to dishing out taunts.
[09:01] Somei
Aldini is trying to act calm and collected,
[09:04] Somei
but unlike his words,
he seems even more reckless.
[09:11] Buns
Takumicchi is now rolling the
pizza dough he was letting rest.
[09:14] Hisa
He's finishing his preparations.
[09:15] Hisa
He's lightly applying the
sauce to the pizza dough...
[09:18] Ryoko
And adding the carefully sautéed
beef shigureni as the topping.
[09:22] Niku
As well as onions and mozzarella cheese!
[09:25] Isami
Then he'll bake it at 250
degrees Celsius for 12 minutes.
[09:28] Isami
He just has to bake it long enough for
the crust to turn a nice golden brown.
[09:31] Taku
And into the oven.
[09:33] Taku
Forno accendere!
SIGN Fire, ignite
[09:38] Eizan
Your pizza seems rather delicate.
[09:41] Eizan
It looks like it'd be difficult
to add any more seasoning
[09:44] Eizan
after it's done baking.
[09:45] Taku
And what if it is?
[09:48] Eizan
You're through.
[09:52] Eizan
There's one more ingredient that
goes with my special cream sauce.
[09:57] Eizan
Artichokes!
[09:59] Eizan
This vegetable has plenty of cynarine,
which gives it a bitter flavor.
[10:03] Eizan
Its most prominent feature is that
[10:05] Eizan
it inhibits the taste receptors
on a person's tongue,
[10:08] Eizan
which confuses the flavors
[10:09] Eizan
and makes anything consumed afterward
taste sweeter than it should.
SIGN Sweet

[10:14] Ryoko
What?!
[10:15] Bun
It can actually do that?
[10:16] Alice
It's possible. For example,
[10:19] Alice
if you're served dessert after
eating a dish made with artichokes,
[10:22] Alice
it'll bring out its sweetness even more.
[10:24] Alice
There are many famous chefs
who take advantage of that.
[10:26] Eizan
Your shigureni is a dish that brings
out a rich sweetness.
[10:30] Eizan
What do you think would happen
[10:32] Eizan
if you happened to eat a bunch
of artichokes right before?
[10:36] Eizan
You've still got about ten minutes
before that pizza is done baking.
[10:39] Eizan
My dish will be done first.
[10:42] Eizan
Your shigureni pizza, which will
be judged afterward,
[10:45] Eizan
will transform into an overly sweet dish.
[10:47] Eizan
Meaning its flavor is going
to go right into the gutter!
[10:51] Guy
What?!
[10:52] Guy
How could he do something so
underhanded at this point in the match?!
[10:55] Niku
Don't you have any pride?!
[10:56] Buns
Hey, judges! Please disqualify
that delinquent right now!
[11:01] Anne
And why would we do that?
[11:03] Anne
He figured out what his opponent
was doing in the allotted time
[11:06] Anne
and figured out a strategy to beat that.
[11:08] Anne
He hasn't done a single thing wrong.
SIGN The Alchemist
[11:11] Buns
No way...
[11:13] Eizan
Now, then... Guess I'll finish up my prep.
[11:17] Eizan
I'm gonna throw in a bunch of artichokes!
[11:21] Eizan
Takumi Aldini, you're still way too naïve!
[11:24] Eizan
This time, as well as last time!
[11:27] Eizan
The day that your Mezzaluna was taken!
[11:30] Eizan
If that guy was in your place...
[11:34] Eizan
I'm sure Yukihira Soma would've
been able to overcome this!
[11:37] Eizan
Unlike you!
[11:42] Eizan
And it's complete!
[11:44] Eizan
The Bewitching Beef Roast...
Eizan Etsuya Edition.
SIGN The Bewitching Beef Roast
[11:53] Guy
Gah! It's complete!
[11:55] Niku
Atop of all that juicy, delicious beef...
[11:57] Ryoko
...is a creamy poached egg!
[11:59] Guy
The deliciousness of that dish looks insane!
[12:01] Bun
That dish is going to completely
ruin Takumicchi's dish?
[12:05] Bun
Because of the cynarine or whatever?
[12:06] Blonde
Look at this beauty...
[12:09] Blonde
This elegant rose-red color!
[12:10] Blonde
My tongue is rejoicing just from the sight of it.
[12:16] Shades
This deliciousness will go down in history!
[12:18] Anne
Amazing! I don't think I've ever eaten
a dish with so many artichokes in it!
[12:22] Blonde
Yes, and I just want to
eat more and more of it!
[12:25] Soma
I can't even hide my curiosity...
[12:27] Soma
What does a dish with so
many artichokes taste like?
[12:31] Soma
I'm curious... I'm so friggin' curious.
I want a bite.
[12:33] Megu
Ah, so that's what you're curious about...
[12:36] Anne
You should always feed your curiosity.
[12:39] Anne
Would you two like a taste?
[12:41] Soma
Whoa, can we?
[12:42] Megu
Huh? Me, too?
[12:48] Soma
The cream sauce keeps tingling,
covering the rich flavor of the roast beef!
[12:54] Megu
The meat juices pack an incredible punch!
[12:56] Megu
Yet he managed to vividly highlight the unique
[12:58] Megu
depth and bitterness that the veggies have.
[13:01] Anne
This is all due to the
cynarine working its magic.
[13:04] Anne
It gets rid of any unnecessary
sweetness in the dish
[13:06] Anne
and helps bring out the cream sauce.
[13:09] Glasses
Cynarine directly impacts
the taste receptors.
[13:12] Alice
Yes. It coats the top part of the
tongue, which senses sweetness.
[13:16] Alice
This is what the judges are feeling right now.
[13:19] Alice
The sweetness is subdued,
and the bitterness is sharpened.
[13:23] Alice
And if they eat another dish afterward,
[13:23] Megu
Nom.
[13:26] Megu
Nom.
[13:26] Alice
the cynarine gradually comes off as they chew,
[13:27] Megu
Nom.
[13:29] Alice
so the taste receptors start
functioning normally...
[13:29] Megu
Nom.
[13:31] Megu
Nom.
SIGN Sweet
[13:32] Alice
But because their sense of sweetness
has been suppressed,
[13:35] Alice
even the slightest sweet taste
becomes magnified.
[13:38] All
I see.

[13:46] Niku
So the sweetness in Aldini's shigureni
is going to be magnified, too?
[13:50] Glasses
And by the time the judges
finish eating his pizza,
[13:53] Glasses
all of the cynarine on their
tongues will have worn off,
[13:55] Glasses
so it won't affect deliberation
on any of the following dishes.
[13:58] Glasses
Eizan-senpai knew all about those
effects and used it fully to his advantage!
[14:02] Ryoko
He even knew about a component that small...
[14:05] Glasses
He is truly the epitome of wisdom and wealth!
[14:07] Some
I guess they don't call him
the Alchemist for nothing!
[14:13] Anne
There's a chemical reaction
happening on my tongue!
[14:16] Anne
A miracle of taste!
[14:17] Anne
This deliciousness...
[14:19] Anne
is a large-scale magic trick!
[14:23] Anne
An illusion I don't want to escape from!
[14:28] Buns
Takumicchi's pizza is done baking!
[14:31] Eizan
Aw, Aldini. Why the long face?
[14:34] Eizan
I know. Why don't you have
the judges drink some water?
[14:38] Eizan
It might lessen the effects of
the cynarine a little bit!
[14:41] All
Make them guzzle it down!
[14:44] Taku
No, we can continue as planned.
[14:46] Eizan
Yeah, it's good to know when to give u—
[14:49] Taku
That won't be necessary. I'll still win.
[14:51] Eizan
What?
[14:55] Isa
Big Bro...
[14:59] Soma
Those pizzas...
[15:00] Isami
The star topping should
be the beef shigureni...
[15:03] Megu
Or at least, it's supposed to be...
[15:05] Buns
But the shigureni is only
on half of the pizza!
[15:08] Guy
The other half is just cheese?
[15:11] Guy
That's way too simple!
[15:12] Ryoko
What's Takumi-kun thinking?
[15:21] Taku
Buon appetito!
[15:23] Blonde
I see.
[15:24] Blonde
The toppings are clearly
split down the middle.
[15:28] Blonde
This is very similar to
Japanese delivery pizza.
[15:30] Shades
Is it all right to eat this
pizza using our hands?
[15:33] Shades
In Italy, they often use
forks and knives to eat pizza.
[15:36] Taku
Please, eat it however you prefer.
[15:39] Taku
How you eat the pizza does
not affect its taste.
[15:42] Taku
But I do hope you'll grant me this one
request as the chef of this dish.
[15:47] Taku
The side to your right...
[15:49] Taku
I'd like you all to eat the
side with the shigureni first.
[15:52] Buns
Hang on a second!
[15:54] Ryoko
Sweetness is going to work against
him because of the cynarine!
[15:56] Niku
What are you thinking, Aldini?!
[16:00] Shades
Then we'll start with the shigureni side.
[16:02] Blonde
This shigureni is brilliant.
[16:04] Blonde
I'm sure it would've tasted amazing
under normal circumstances.
[16:08] Anne
This is a matter that can't
be helped in a competition.
[16:17] Anne
Huh?
[16:18] Anne
This has an amazingly refined deliciousness!
[16:21] Guy
What?!
[16:23] Guy
H-How?!
[16:24] Taku
The yuzu miso sauce I used for the pizza...
[16:27] Taku
I made sure to adjust it ahead of time.
[16:30] Taku
Since the sweetness is
magnified due to the cynarine,
[16:33] Taku
I used the minimal amount
of white miso, sugar,
[16:35] Taku
and mirin that I normally use,
[16:37] Taku
and I used more of the yuzu fruit
to bring out tartness.
[16:41] Taku
I even grated the yuzu zest to add
in some bitter and acidic notes.
[16:46] Taku
I made sure the flavors would still work,
[16:49] Taku
since you'd eat Eizan-senpai's
beef roast first.
[16:52] Blonde
Because of this arrangement,
[16:54] Blonde
the flavor is now much more complex
than eating just the shigureni alone.
[16:58] Shades
In Italian meal courses,
[16:59] Shades
they give you a first plate that goes
before the second and main dish
[17:04] Shades
to help build anticipation.
[17:07] Anne
In order to make his dish the main plate,
SIGN Second Plate
[17:11] Anne
Mr. Aldini made his enemy's
dish the first plate.
SIGN First Plate
[17:13] Anne
Meaning he made Mr. Eizan's
magic the opening act.
[17:18] [SONG] Sign

SIGN Act
[17:19] Eizan
You can't be serious!
[17:21] Eizan
You rearranged the sauce recipe?
[17:24] Eizan
I decided I'd use the artichoke to mess
up your dish after I saw the shigureni!
[17:28] Eizan
Extremely carefully,
so you wouldn't catch on!
[17:30] Eizan
So how did you figure out
I'd use artichokes?!
[17:33] Taku
I knew from the start.
[17:34] Eizan
Huh?
[17:35] Taku
I knew as soon as our theme was set...
[17:39] Taku
that you'd be using artichokes.
[17:42] Taku
There were a few things in
the food storage facility
[17:45] Taku
that could've suppressed sweetness.
[17:47] Taku
For example, the fruit that makes sour
things taste sweet, miracle fruits.
[17:52] Taku
But the effects of the
component called miraculin
[17:55] Taku
found in this fruit last about two hours.
[17:57] Taku
But that would interfere
with other dishes later on.
[18:00] Taku
The only ingredient that wouldn't
do that is artichokes.
[18:03] Taku
I continued to observe you
and traced your thinking.
[18:08] Taku
You let yourself be led to the one
ingredient I needed you to pick.
[18:11] Taku
Just like I planned.
[18:15] Eizan
So he wasn't just
[18:16] Eizan
glaring at me because he was
concentrating so hard on getting revenge?
[18:20] Eizan
He's been observing me ever
since the third bout started?
[18:25] Taku
Yes, yes, very good.
[18:27] Taku
Out of the 21 Shokugekis you've competed in,
[18:30] Taku
the number of opponents you crushed by
neutralizing their signature flavor was twelve.
[18:33] Taku
I'm very certain that you will
try that once again with me.
[18:37] Taku
Now, continue your preparation
with the artichokes,
[18:40] Taku
unaware that I've been
watching you this whole time.
[18:42] Taku
Go on, go on...
[18:43] Niku
I think I feel a very strong
sense of vengefulness...
[18:45] Buns
Yeah! He seems different
from the usual Takumicchi!
[18:49] Shun
I never thought he'd be the
type to hold on to a grudge.
[18:52] Glasses
You're sorta the same way.
[18:54] Shun
Huh?
[18:55] Ryoko
He's almost like Mimasaka-kun.
[18:59] Anne
To think he'd use the effects of
the cynarine to his advantage...
[19:02] Blonde
They both hate each other and
tried to undermine each other...
[19:05] Blonde
It's as if they're exchanging magic tricks.
[19:06] Shades
The deliciousness of this pizza is just...
[19:11] Both
...an illusion that we don't
want to escape from!
[19:17] Guy
All right!
[19:18] Guy
That dish is a huge hit!
[19:20] Taku
But I'm not done with the
courses of this meal just yet.
SIGN First Plate
SIGN Second Plate
[19:25] Taku
Italian meals don't usually have a third plate,
[19:29] Taku
but the remaining half of this pizza is
[19:32] Taku
my way of taking all of the Italian cuisine
I've made up to this point a step forward.
[19:35] Taku
My terzo piatto.
SIGN Third Plate
[19:38] Taku
The third plate.
[19:40] Soma
That pizza looks like two
half-moons stuck together.
[19:45] Isa
Half-moons... Mezzaluna!
[19:47] Taku
Now for my actual dish,
the Doppio Mezzaluna Pizza...
[19:52] Taku
This is its true flavor.
[19:58] Eizan
The other half only has cheese as a topping...
[20:00] Eizan
That couldn't possibly bring him victory!
[20:09] Shades
The topping is actually four
different kinds of cheese.
[20:12] Shades
Mozzarella, parmigiano,
gorgonzola, and ricotta!
[20:15] Shades
Which makes it...
[20:16] Shades
a quattro formaggi pizza!
[20:18] Shades
This is a popular pizza topping in Italy,
[20:20] Shades
but he used just the right amount of each!
[20:22] Blonde
It matches perfectly with the crispy crust,
[20:25] Blonde
and the black pepper adds just
the right amount of kick!
[20:28] Anne
The contrast between this and the
rich sweetness of the shigureni
[20:32] Anne
creates an irresistible
depth of deliciousness!
[20:35] Anne
From the bitterness of the artichoke
[20:36] Anne
to the sweetness of the shigureni, and finally,
[20:38] Anne
the saltiness of the quattro formaggi!
[20:41] Shades
Uno...
[20:43] Blonde
Due...
[20:44] Anne
Tre...
[20:46] Anne
Those who taste this magnificence
are being led to Heaven...
[20:50] All
...with a triple jump of deliciousness!
[20:55] Taku
I was confident that
[20:57] Taku
with all of the experience
I had baking countless pizzas,
[21:01] Taku
I'd be able to create the ultimate quattro
formaggi to complement the shigureni.
[21:06] Taku
That's not all.
[21:07] Taku
The shigureni pizza would've never been
born without my Stagiaire experience.
[21:11] Taku
Without my battle against Mimasaka,
[21:13] Taku
I would've never thought about tracing
my opponent's thought process.
[21:17] Taku
The countless tests I've faced and
the bitter failures I've tasted...
[21:21] Taku
That's what created this dish.
[21:24] Taku
It's all thanks to you siccing
Mimasaka Subaru on me.
[21:27] Taku
That made me go down this path
and led me to these heights.
[21:32] Eizan
He saw through my plans,
even using them against me,
[21:35] Eizan
and then presented the most
electrifying dish to the judges...
[21:38] Eizan
Just as Mimasaka Subaru had
done to him in the past.
[21:42] Eizan
I was helplessly rolling around
in the palm of his hand!
[21:46] Eizan
Curse you... first-year brat!

[02:32] Guy
Now that you mention it,
what even is a butter dish?
[02:36] Some
It's not something you use
as a main ingredient.
[02:38] Guy
Maybe they'll sauté white fish
or scallops with butter?
[02:41] Some
But would that make butter
the main ingredient?
[02:44] Buns
They maybe baked potatoes with butter?
[02:45] Ryoko
That's too simple.
[02:47] Sec
I'm sure Yukihira will think of something.
[02:50] Sec
Butter was one of the items used in
Erina-sama's Hokkaido seminar, after all.
[02:54] Alice
Oh, it was?
[02:56] Alice
What was your lecture like, Erina?
[02:58] Erina
Well, we covered the full
Western history of butter,
[03:01] Erina
as well as its chemical components.
[03:04] Erina
Yukihira-kun is basically
a butter professor now.
[03:09] Guy
I don't have the heart to tell her
Yukihira slept through most of it.
[03:11] Glasses
Let's have faith that he
got something out of it.
[03:15] Haya
There are actually only a few dishes
that don't use butter in French cuisine.
[03:19] Kuro
Butter is used often in northern Europe, too.
[03:21] Kuro
There are plenty of ways to use it.
[03:23] Alice
Yes. I wonder what Saito-senpai's
got up his sleeve.
[03:31] Both
Huh?
[03:32] Ryoko
Oranges?!
[03:33] Niku
He's started juicing a ton of oranges!
[03:42] Erina
I see. It appears that Saito-san's goal is...
[03:46] Ura
This makes me even more curious
to see what he'll come up with!
[03:48] Ura
Now, let's see what kind of
preparations Yukihira Soma is doing.
[03:53] Ura
Is that... mochi?
SIGN Kirimochi Pack
SIGN Kirimochi Pack
[03:58] Soma
Yup! Kirimochi!
[04:00] Soma
Man, you guys really do have
all kinds of ingredients.
[04:04] Soma
I threw some chopped-up kirimochi
into a pot of heated soy milk,
[04:09] Soma
stirred it up, and once it all melted,
I added some pepper and salt
[04:13] Soma
to make my imitation white sauce.
[04:16] Soma
It's a great way to use any leftover
mochi you might have at home.
[04:20] Blonde
Usually, white sauce is made by
heating butter and flour into a roux,
[04:25] Blonde
then diluting it into a thick sauce with milk.
[04:27] Shades
Wouldn't you usually try to use
butter in it, since it's the theme?
[04:30] Shades
Why use mochi?
[04:32] Anne
We'll find out as soon as we try his dish.
[04:35] Anne
I believe that's what he's implying.
[04:39] Ura
Both contestants are now throwing
their theme ingredient,
[04:42] Ura
butter, into their frying pans.
[04:45] Guy
This is torture!
[04:46] Guy
This butter aroma is going to melt my brain!
[04:49] Buns
It's spreading all at once!
[04:55] Anne
Mr. Yukihira is sautéing chicken,
onions, shrimp, and rice.
[05:01] Shades
Meanwhile, Saito Somei is letting the
garlic's aroma settle in for a moment,
[05:05] Shades
then throwing in some soy sauce,
squid, and squid liver.
[05:09] Blonde
He's heightening the
wonderful aroma of the sea
[05:12] Blonde
coming from the seafood with
the rich scent of butter.
[05:15] Ryoko
This is when the real preparations begin.
[05:17] Sec
We won't even have a chance
to look away from this.
[05:24] Saito
No...
[05:25] Saito
He's still simmering something
in that covered pot.
[05:29] Saito
Since I'm facing him, I can tell.
[05:31] Saito
This man has not actually
drawn his blade yet.
[05:35] Saito
How interesting.
[05:37] Saito
Let's see how well you can entertain
me when you finally strike.
[05:41] Saito
Before I slice you in two, that is.
[05:49] Kuga
What're you up to?
[05:51] Nene
I thought I'd get some coffee from
the café. What are you doing?
[05:55] Kuga
Well, nothing beats a
morning bath and massage.
[06:01] Kuga
Where are Tsukasa-senpai
and Rindo-senpai?
[06:04] Nene
They're resting in their rooms.
[06:06] Kuga
They're still hibernating, huh?
[06:08] Nene
You're not going to the arena?
[06:11] Kuga
Well, I did everything I could.
[06:14] Kuga
Why are you still at the hotel?
[06:17] Kuga
Oh, I know. You're embarrassed to show
your face at the arena since you lost?
[06:20] Kuga
You are so mentally weak.
[06:22] Nene
I'm fine.
[06:24] Nene
I feel worse for the person who went
two-on-one and still lost royally.
[06:30] Kuga
Well, you probably regret going
up against Yukihira-chin.
[06:34] Kuga
He's a first-year I acknowledged, after all.

I thought he was all talk on that day.

To be honest,

this academy's just a stepping stone for me!
[06:56] (Flashback) Soma
I wasn't expecting to transfer here,
[06:59] (Flashback) Soma
but I don't plan on losing to folks

I'm gonna take the number one spot!
[07:09] Kuga
That's the most Yukihira-chin

[07:11] Kuga
And he might actually climb to the
top with this Team Shokugeki.
[07:15] Nene
You can't be serious. You know
how strong Saito-senpai is.
[07:22] Saito
The time has come.
[07:27] Saito
But he's still not drawing first.
[07:31] Saito
In that case, I shall go.
[07:36] Saito
Now, let's see if you'll
be able to take my strike.
[07:42] Kuro
Salmon meunière, piping hot and
steaming with the rich aroma of butter.
[07:47] Haya
Sautéed squid liver, boldly fragrant
with the scents of garlic and soy sauce.
[07:51] Alice
And a gleaming mound of glittery
salmon roe marinated in soy sauce.
[07:55] Glasses
It's a gathering of the
ultimate gourmet ingredients!
[07:58] Ura
Saito Somei-senpai has created an
amazing buttered seafood rice bowl!
[08:03] Ryoko
Uh, Yuki, you're drooling.
[08:05] Buns
Well, I can't help it!
[08:07] Saito
Let our blades clash again, Yukihira Soma.
[08:23] Anne
Even more steam came out as soon
as I dug in with my chopsticks.
[08:26] Anne
The anticipation is warming up my body.
[08:33] Anne
It's coming! The wave is coming!
[08:36] Shades
This gleaming seafood
[08:38] Shades
is riding upon a wave of butter...
[08:40] blonde
...that's about to come
crashing down on my tongue!
[08:42] All
I just can't stop eating it!
[08:45] Shades
The salmon is perfectly cooked.
[08:47] Shades
The trace amount of sugar in the
flour combines with the butter
[08:51] Shades
in a chemical reaction, creating a
wonderfully fragrant and perfect meunière!
[08:54] Anne
The butter is gently
wrapping the saltiness and
[08:57] Anne
pleasant bitterness of the squid liver.
[09:00] Blonde
He added pomegranate seeds and tonburi
to the roe he marinated in soy sauce.
[09:04] Blonde
The three separate flavors are brought
together perfectly by the butter.
[09:07] Erina
He used mounds of butter, and yet
the flavor doesn't seem heavy due to
[09:11] Erina
an important secret in the sushi rice.
[09:13] Erina
It's special sushi rice made
with orange and lemon juice
[09:16] Erina
rather than vinegar.
[09:18] Guy
Sushi rice with orange and lemon?!
[09:20] Guy
So that's why he had all those oranges!
[09:22] Glasses
Of course, if you add a clump of grease,
[09:24] Glasses
such as butter, to seafood
that's already greasy,
[09:27] Glasses
the flavor will be too rich.
[09:28] Shun
To lighten the greasiness into a
more pleasing and palatable flavor,
[09:32] Shun
he chose to use the refreshing
tang of the oranges.
[09:35] Sec
Many staple French sauces traditionally
use butter and oranges together.
[09:40] Sec
He even paid attention to the rice,
all to bring out the most in the butter.
[09:44] Haya
And because of that, he was able to
bring out the best of the butter's aroma.
[09:47] Kuro
He really brought it to another level!
[09:50] Isshiki
It's as though his dish is a samurai who put
[09:53] Isshiki
his entire spirit into his blade and
is poised to strike at any moment.
[10:05] Anne
It's so amazing! It's too amazing!
[10:08] Blonde
We still have to deliberate!
[10:10] Shades
But I'd be satisfied if
I filled up on just this plate!
[10:12] Niku
As much as I hate to say it,
[10:14] Niku
I'm sure that seafood rice
bowl is satisfying as hell.
[10:17] Niku
It's definitely a complete
dish in a single bowl.
[10:20] Buns
I thought this theme would give
Yukihira the advantage, but...
[10:24] Ryoko
No one expected he'd be able to bring
butter to that level with a seafood bowl.
[10:28] Isami
That ingredient usually has
nothing to do with sushi!
[10:31] Saito
My duty lies in sushi.
[10:33] Saito
That's why I was able to
use butter at this level.
[10:38] Saito
People believe that the fish
makes or breaks the sushi,
[10:42] Saito
but that's not the only important factor.
[10:45] Saito
The true stars of the dish are the
supporting actors in the shadows,
[10:48] Saito
the vinegar and salt. Only when
they are in perfect balance
[10:51] Saito
can the fish, the main ingredient,
show its true power.
[10:53] Saito
It's not just with sushi.
[10:55] Saito
With any dish, the chef must
know the best base ingredients
[10:58] Saito
and the best way to use them to make
the blade known as "fish" gleam.
[11:02] Saito
Which means that all base
ingredients are within my field...
[11:05] Saito
No, they all lie within reach of me.
[11:09] Kuro
He's not just talking out his ass, either.
[11:11] Kuro
No matter how delicious
the fish itself might be,
[11:14] Kuro
depending on how you use the base ingredients,
the whole dish could be ruined.

obsession with fish come from?

Those inari sushi have pilaf in
them rather than sushi rice?
[15:32] Blonde
The impact is intense!
[15:34] Shades
I'm instantly hungry again!
[15:35] Anne
The aroma makes me want to melt!
[15:37] Niku
Usually, with inari sushi, it's important
[15:39] Niku
to have the sweet abura-age balanced
with the mild flavor of the sushi rice.
[15:43] Niku
No matter how you look at it,
the butter pilaf is going to make it heavy.
[15:46] Saito
Just bringing out the butter is not
enough for our theme in this match.
[15:51] Saito
So let us see the answer
you came up with.
[15:58] Anne
The butter that seeped into the abura-age
[16:00] Anne
keeps spreading through
my mouth every time I chew!
[16:04] Anne
Even my mind is being drenched in butter!
[16:08] Shades
The abura-age is so juicy, and yet
the pilaf inside is so delicate.
[16:14] Blonde
The flavors don't overwhelm each other.
[16:15] Blonde
The umami of the ingredients
keeps flowing like a geyser.
[16:19] All
They work together so well!
[16:21] Soma
Well, first, I sautéed the
rice without washing it.
[16:25] Soma
That's the key when you're making pilaf.
[16:27] Soma
Then I thoroughly rinsed the abura-age
with hot water to remove the extra oil.
[16:31] Soma
But the most important part
of my dish is my special
[16:34] Soma
mochi white sauce made
from soy milk and kirimochi.
[16:37] Shades
I see.
[16:39] Shades
Conventional white sauce made with
flour and butter would overwhelm this dish.
[16:43] Blonde
There is a rich texture,
but it doesn't linger.
[16:46] Blonde
The light flavor of this mochi
white sauce was absolutely essential.
[16:51] Soma
Then I sprinkled a blend of several
cheeses on top of everything
[16:54] Soma
and toasted them in the oven.
[16:56] Anne
Because of that, the saltiness
and mellowness are preserved.
[17:02] Soma
Basically, I shoved all the tasty things
I could think of into this dish,
[17:06] Soma
and pushed the rich, savory
flavors as hard as I could.
[17:10] Anne
Some ingredients meld with the butter's
richness into mellow deliciousness,
[17:13] Anne
and other ingredients have become
richer because of the butter.
[17:16] Anne
There is an immense amount of work put into
[17:18] Anne
every one of these small inari sushi pockets.
[17:22] Blonde
The mochi white sauce subdues the greasiness,
[17:25] Blonde
so each of the flavors reach
their peak in harmony.
[17:29] Shades
This is a huge contrast with
Saito Somei's single heavy strike.
[17:34] Shades
This blade is a continuous barrage of flavor!
[17:37] Anne
It's just too delicious for me to keep quiet.
[17:41] Anne
Ah... Anne...

But this swing was not a single blade.
[17:56] Saito
How did you...
[17:59] Saito
How did you become this strong?!
[18:01] Soma
Because I knew I was gonna be in trouble.

This cheese blend balances out
the dish with its saltiness.

I see.
[19:22] Shades
Aldini must have put this together so
it'd go along with these inari sushi.
[19:26] Anne
Oh, I finally understand! The reason
this dish is so rich, but not overwhelming!
[19:32] Anne
It's Miss Tadokoro Megumi's apple butter!

[21:11] Isshi
That dish isn't just a result of his training.
[21:14] Isshi
It's a culmination of all the days
he's spent here ever since
[21:17] Isshi
the first moment he stepped
into Totsuki Academy.
[21:19] Saito
Because of the helplessness
I felt with my mother,
[21:22] Saito
I thought that the weak should be protected.
[21:26] Saito
I thought that was why I became stronger.
[21:29] Saito
But Yukihira doesn't label other
chefs as weak or strong.
[21:33] Saito
He learned from every blade he has ever faced.
[21:37] Saito
You are the one who has truly
walked the path of bushido.
[21:40] Saito
I have lost.

[03:26] Taku
You don't even need to ask. We're ready.
[03:30] Soma
I'm ready to take on anyone.
[03:32] Haya
The next bout is definitely
going to be on another level.
[03:36] Haya
There are only three enemies left,
and they'll all be coming out.

[04:49] Momo
By the way, where are Tsukasa and Rindo?
[04:55] Rindo
I'm back, baby!
[04:57] Taku
She could barely stand yesterday.

She's totally full of energy again.

Come on! Rindo-senpai's back!
[05:05] Rindo
I got plenty of sleep, so I have even
more energy than I did the first day!

What do you think of
Rindo-senpai? Well, Yukihira?
[05:12] Rindo
Well, well, well, well?
[05:12] Soma
You're definitely excited.
[05:14] Tsuka
Rindo's as energetic as a wild animal.
[05:17] Guy
Hey... He seems to be back on his feet, too.
[05:20] Guy
Yeah, and here comes Momo-senpai, too.
[05:23] Momo
I feel all prickly. I need to make
another cute dish to relieve some stress.
[05:29] Momo
I have plenty of energy since
So-myan made me some sushi.
[05:33] Momo
Let's have whoever we're going up
against get gobbled up by my dish, Bucchi.
[05:38] Eri
May I be that opponent?
[05:42] Momo

more violent than usual.

[07:28] Momo
And let's beat Eri-nyan while we're at it.
[07:35] Guy
Whoa! What the heck is that?!
[07:38] Guy
So many bowls of various colored batters!
[07:41] Alice
Looks like she made colors from strawberries,
[07:44] Alice
matcha, cocoa, blueberries,
black sesame, and other things.
[07:47] Alice
It's like a colorful palette.
[07:50] Momo
Now that I have my yummy paint,
[07:53] Momo
let's start our super-fun drawing time!
[07:56] Isa
She's completing fancy illustrations
one after another!
[08:00] Sec
How can she be so fast?!
[08:04] Niku
She finished them all in one go!
How experienced is she at drawing those?!
[08:08] Momo
Then I'll bake the finished drawings
[08:11] Momo
in the oven for three minutes and...
[08:13] Momo
Then I'll pour in batter with
brown sugar in it on top.
[08:19] Anne
It appears she's making roll cakes.
[08:23] shadeS
Like the popular ones made
with illustrations in Japan.
[08:25] Blonde
Maybe this is going to be a
surprisingly simple dish, then...
[08:29] Blonde
Especially compared to her last dish.
[08:31] Momo
I'll make the decorations super cute, too!
[08:36] Blonde
That method is known as sucre tiré.
[08:38] Blonde
They stretch the candy to a uniform thickness
[08:40] Blonde
by keeping it at just the right
temperature so that it remains malleable.
[08:43] Anne
Out of all candy-sculpting techniques,
[08:45] Anne
it gives the candy the most
glossy and glass-like luster.
[08:47] Anne
It's extremely difficult to pull off,
but she makes it look so easy.
[08:51] Shades
Even her cooking process is
overflowing with cuteness!
[08:56] Momo
Cutely, cutely...
[08:59] Guy
Hang on a second!
[09:00] Shades
How many does she plan to make?
[09:03] Momo
We still don't have nearly
enough, do we, Bucchi?
[09:06] Momo
Chef Momo's sweets shop is super-busy today.
[09:10] Megu
Is Nakiri-san going to be okay?
[09:11] Soma
Well, let's just sit back and watch her work.
[09:15] Soma
I can't really explain it, but
Nakiri sure seems fired up.
[09:23] Niku
She's being careful with the heat, too.
[09:24] Buns
Wow! They look perfect!
[09:27] Alice
She's made some super-crunchy
brown sugar and black sesame tuiles.
[09:31] Megu
She also has two batters, one made with only
egg whites and the other with only yolks.
[09:34] Ryoko
Judging from the ingredients,
[09:37] Ryoko
Nakiri-san is trying to make
something sweet, isn't she?
[09:40] Ryoko
Even though she's up against
the academy's top pâtissier.
[09:42] Niku
She'd totally do it!
[09:43] Buns
That might be going a bit too far!
[09:46] Sec
No, I'm sure Erina-sama has a chance.

[10:05] Momo
It's all done now.

Wha—
[10:09] Soma
The hell is that?
[10:10] Girl
Oh my gosh! It's so cute!
[10:12] Girl
It's so amazing!
[10:13] Girl
It's like a castle from a kingdom of dreams!
[10:21] Blonde
I can't believe I had the
nerve to call it simple!
[10:25] Blonde
There isn't a hint of modesty
anywhere in that thing!
[10:27] Shades
But no matter how impactful the visual
might be, the taste is what counts.
[10:32] Anne
Yes. This all comes down to the
deliberation of the tongue.
[10:38] Momo
Love!
[10:43] Shades
What in the world is this exquisite
texture and sweetness?
[10:46] Shades
When I push down on it with my fork,
it bounces back with maximum fluffitude.
[10:49] Shades
This springy volume is something else.
[10:52] Anne
But once you bite into it,
[10:53] Anne
the texture is so gentle and soft,
like mist dancing on your tongue.
[10:58] Blonde
But above all, what is this rich
sweetness filling my mouth?
[11:03] Momo
Here's your answer.
[11:05] Both
Soy sauce?!
[11:06] Momo
I used heavy cream,
light brown sugar, vanilla extract,
[11:10] Momo
and a dash of soy sauce
to make whipped cream.
[11:12] Momo
I then spread that on the
cakes after they were baked,
[11:15] Momo
rolled them up, and chilled them.
[11:16] Momo
All in order to make the taste of
the brown sugar cuter and sweeter.
[11:21] Anne
So this is like adding a
bit of saltiness to sweets
[11:25] Anne
to enhance the sweetness,
similar to salted caramels.
[11:29] Anne
But in her case, she happened to create
her own soy sauce whipped cream.
[11:33] Blonde
Brown sugar contains minerals
like iron and sodium
[11:37] Blonde
that you don't usually find in white sugar,
and it has its own unique aroma.
[11:42] Shades
The aroma of the brown sugar
and the depth of the soy sauce
[11:46] Shades
go perfectly together.
[11:48] Momo
If you take a piece of fruit with each bite,
[11:51] Momo
you can enjoy the different flavors.
[11:53] Momo
Of course, you can eat this candy, too.
[11:56] Momo
If you melt a piece on your
tongue before eating the cake,
[12:00] Momo
it's especially yummy.
[12:01] Anne
What a lovely surprise!
[12:02] Anne
No matter how many bites I take,
I'm being led to a world of dreams again!
[12:06] Shades
She has a perfect sense of smell when
it comes to the universe of sweets.
[12:11] Shades
She has created a perfect castle,
both in visuals and in taste.
[12:14] Blonde
Anyone who dares enter her kingdom
[12:17] Blonde
is attacked with blasts of
cuteness and prettiness!
[12:23] Both
We can't dodge them!
[12:26] Anne
Histoire! Charme!
[12:30] Anne
I can't dodge them!
[12:33] Both
Anne!
[12:35] Ura
How in the world is Nakiri Erina going
to face off against this fortress?
[12:41] Niku
Not only does it look perfect,
it tastes perfect, too.
[12:43] Ryoko
How can anyone make something like that?
[12:46] Mima
I know because I traced her.
[12:48] Mima
Her obsession with cute things
makes her strive for perfection.
[12:54] Momo
I've got lots of roll cakes, so does
anyone else want to eat one?
[12:59] Momo
Don't push. Make sure you line up.
[13:02] Kuro
This turned into an autograph signing.
[13:04] Haya
She's pretty popular on social media, too.
[13:07] Buns

cake castle is way too much!
[15:01] Soma

[15:04] Alice
Oh, nothing.
[15:05] Anne
Now, let us have a taste...
[15:07] Anne
of the dish made by the
girl with the God Tongue.
[15:10] Anne
The cake is so gleefully fluffy.
[15:15] Anne
But as soon as the fork breaks through,
[15:17] Anne
my entire body shivers in anticipation of the
[15:19] Anne
heavenly texture I'm sure will come.
[15:21] Anne
She is very much aware...

is a dish that will conquer one's heart.
[15:29] Erina

[15:30] Blonde
This...
[15:31] Anne
...is no ordinary pancake!
[15:33] Shades
In between the two pancakes...
[15:35] All
...is red bean paste!
[15:37] Megu
What? Red bean paste?
[15:39] Erina
Yes. That is the star of this dish.
[15:42] Erina
I created a paste from azuki beans
and sweetened it with brown sugar.
[15:45] Erina
I call it my Divine Brown Sugar Bean Paste.
[15:48] Alice
She used a pressure cooker
[15:50] Alice
to reduce the cooking time
without losing the flavor.
[15:53] Buns
Brown sugar bean paste?
[15:54] Ryoko
So that means this dish...
[15:56] Soma
It's two pancakes with red bean
paste filling in the middle.
[16:00] Soma
Which basically means it's dorayaki.
[16:03] Shades
The azuki beans from Tokachi have
improved the already impressive flavor!
[16:08] Blonde
The sweetness of the bean paste
envelops the brown sugar.
[16:11] Blonde
It's perfectly clear,
not the least bit overbearing!
[16:13] Ryoko

I'm so jeal— I mean, how indecent.
[16:50] Ura
Now, if you would deliberate...
[16:52] Erina
A moment, please.
[16:54] Erina
There's one other person I'd
like to have try this dish.
[16:58] Erina
And you will try it,
won't you, Queen of Cute?
[17:05] Momo
I'll admit that the cuteness level
of that dish is pretty good.
[17:09] Momo
But I'd have to give it a 95.
[17:12] Momo
Why did you bother putting red bean
paste in it and making it a dorayaki?
[17:15] Momo
That'll disrupt the soufflé's
delicate fluffy texture and aroma.
[17:20] Momo
You should've just mixed the brown sugar
[17:22] Momo
into the meringue and made soufflé pancakes.
[17:24] Momo
Then I would've given you a 100.
[17:27] Momo
I can tell just by looking
that points will be docked.
[17:30] Momo
You made the same dish as Tadokoro Megumi.
[17:32] Erina
Are you certain about that?
[17:34] Erina
Once you have a taste, you'll know
[17:37] Erina
what has put in you such a
foul mood since the last match.
[17:41] Momo
Did you hear that, Bucchi?
What should we do?
[17:44] Momo
What? It wouldn't hurt to give it a try?
[17:47] Momo
You're so nice, Bucchi.
[18:00] Momo
This cuteness...
[18:02] Momo
I can't... dodge it!
[18:05] Eizan
What?!
[18:06] Kino
Momo-senpai is actually head over
heels for someone else's dessert?
[18:10] Momo
This deep, complex flavor...
[18:12] Momo
The secret ingredient is yogurt?
[18:14] Erina
Yes, you are correct.
[18:16] Erina
And it's Greek yogurt, a unique
type of yogurt that's thickened
[18:18] Erina
and concentrated through
a straining process.
[18:20] Erina
Straining the excess moisture
from the yogurt condenses it,
[18:24] Erina
giving its flavor a gentle body
that's reminiscent of cheese.
[18:27] Erina
I mixed that in with the
meringue for the pancakes.
[18:31] Anne
And as a result, it brings out the
flavor of the red bean paste,
[18:35] Anne
which is the star of the dish.
[18:38] Ryoko
It didn't even look like she
was using any special tools.
[18:41] Sec
I get it! She used those coffee filters!
[18:44] Erina
Yes. Not only are they easy to use,
they're obviously excellent for filtering.
[18:48] Erina
They were the perfect choice
for straining the yogurt.
[18:50] Erina
Because of this strained yogurt
acting as my secret ingredient,
[18:54] Erina
I am able to finally reach the level
of deliciousness that I was seeking.
[18:58] Blonde
If she had used ricotta or cream cheese,
which have stronger flavors,
[19:01] Blonde
then just like Akanegakubo Momo said,
she would've lost points.
[19:04] Shades
What a terrifying girl.
[19:06] Shades
Now that I've seen this, I can't
imagine a better twist for this dish.
[19:10] Shades
It's as if she was given divine
inspiration to share with us mortals.
[19:14] Erina
The answer I sought for my dish
[19:17] Erina
could only be found by going
beyond what is correct.
[19:19] Erina
If I hadn't seen Tadokoro-san's dish that
challenged everyone's expectations,
[19:22] Erina
I could not have made this dish.
[19:24] Eri
Huh?
[19:25] Alice
She called her dish "Soufflé
Léger de Grâce," didn't she?
[19:29] Alice
"Soufflé Léger" just means "light soufflé."
[19:31] Alice
And "Grâce" translates to
"blessings," or... "megumi."
SIGN Megumi
[19:36] Erina
Akanegakubo-san...
[19:37] Erina
I'm sure you've continued to create
nothing but perfect dishes
[19:41] Erina
with your overwhelming talent up until now.
[19:44] Erina
And that's exactly why you
couldn't acknowledge
[19:47] Erina
the dish with unknown brilliance
that was completely
[19:50] Erina
outside the world you had ruled over.
[19:53] Erina
Tadokoro-san's dish that aimed
for 120%, even if that meant
[19:56] Erina
abandoning 100% under conventional norms.
[19:58] Erina
That irritated you greatly.
[20:00] Momo
What's the big idea?!
[20:01] Momo
Who do you think you are, going off
on me all of a sudden like that?!
[20:05] Momo
You know that everyone calls you
the Ice Queen, Eri-nyan!
[20:08] Erina
Indeed, they do.
[20:09] Erina
But I am no longer a queen who
just sits back on her throne.
[20:15] Erina
Yes... The irritation you're feeling is
something that I have also experienced.
[20:23] Erina
In my castle where my rule was absolute...
[20:27] Erina
You happened to appear that day.
[20:30] Momo
A dish like this can't exist.

[06:20] Ura
The new faces at the judges'
table will begin their tasting!
[06:25] Ryoko
Their theme was spear squid, wasn't it?
[06:28] Isa
Big Bro made calamari ripieni.
[06:31] Isa
It's a dish you make by stuffing the squid
[06:33] Isa
and baking it in the oven
until it's nice and juicy.
[06:36] Glasses
It's a dish commonly
served in Southern Italy,

[06:51] Azami
Why don't we partake in Takumi
Aldini's dish before it gets cold?
[06:56] Decora
Piping hot calamari...
[06:57] Decora
There's so much umami gushing out,
I feel like I might get burnt.
[07:00] Courage
Azami-sama, let me know if you
need us to blow on your food.
[07:05] Anne
Just shut up and eat already!
[07:07] Soma
It looks super tasty, like Japanese ikameshi.
[07:10] Isa
They may look similar, but what
you put inside is way different.
[07:14] Isa
Usually, you would mix panko,
cheese, eggs, and tomatoes.
[07:20] Sec
But because it's such a simple dish,
[07:22] Sec
the filling relies on the chef's
experience and creativity.
[07:29] Dec
The rich, juicy savoriness of the
seafood explodes all over my tongue!
[07:34] Dec
The keystones of this dish are
the squid liver and anchovies.
[07:37] Taku
Correct. I chopped them finely
and sautéed them in olive oil,
[07:40] Taku
red peppers, and garlic until
they were nice and fragrant.
[07:44] Taku
I then added some white
wine and simmered it.
[07:48] Anne
But the component that's giving this
dish most of its depth in flavor
[07:51] Anne
is actually on the outside.
[07:53] Taku
Right. After I sautéed the filling,
[07:55] Taku
I added heavy cream to the liquid
left in the pan and heated it,
[07:59] Taku
creating squid liver
and anchovy cream sauce.
[08:01] Taku
I've drizzled that sauce over the squid.
[08:04] Courage
The creaminess contrasts
[08:06] Courage
with the tanginess and saltiness inside,
[08:08] Courage
giving the tongue endless
shifting flavors to enjoy.
[08:12] Taku
Having the squid and its
filling harmonize perfectly
[08:16] Taku
brings out the ultimate
flavor of the spear squid.
[08:19] Taku
That is my calamari ripieni!
[08:21] Decora
We shall express how delicious
this dish is with our bodies.
[08:26] Boys
Their bodies?!
[08:28] Decora
A shell of calamari packed so full of
seafood umami that it's about to burst.
[08:32] Decora
It's almost like...
[08:34] Courage
The new winter collection that's going
to glamorously wrap around our bodies...
[08:39] Both
Calamari lingerie!
[08:41] Decora
We've recreated the soft and smooth
skin of the squid with silk.
[08:46] Decora
Because of the lighting,
[08:47] Decora
the lamé, which sparkles like the
anchovies' scales, adds to the luxury.
[08:52] Courage
In this sexy see-through cami that's
been inspired by the red peppers,
[08:56] Courage
we up the volume with the girly
garlic patterns sewn in.
[09:01] Courage

[09:23] Azami
I believe that's enough of the opening act.

[09:28] Anne
Miss Kobayashi's dish...
[09:33] Anne
This is...
[09:34] Azami
Causa.
[09:36] Azami
One of the most classic
dishes of Peruvian cuisine.
[09:39] Azami
Various seafoods are
sandwiched in between layers
[09:42] Azami
of mashed potatoes and pressed together.
[09:45] Azami
You could even call it a
unique potato salad.
[09:48] Courage
She mixed minced spear squid
with egg whites and onions,
[09:52] Courage
then shallow-fried it with lemon,
mayonnaise, and soy sauce.
[09:56] Courage
That makes the fluffy squid
burger the star of the show.
[10:00] Anne
The famous Peruvian seasoning made from
mashed yellow peppers, Aji Amarillo,
[10:06] Anne
gives the mashed potatoes
a nice yellow color.
[10:09] Anne
The sweetness of Hokkaido's beloved
[10:10] Anne
Danshaku potatoes emphasizes
the body of the squid's flavor.
[10:15] Decora
The most surprising part is the
layer beneath the hamburger.
[10:18] Decora
It's usually a layer made with tuna,
[10:22] Decora
but she seems to have used a
somewhat unusual ingredient.
[10:25] Rindo
Yup! Pirarucu!
[10:28] Rindo
The world's largest freshwater fish,
which inhabits the Amazon River!
[10:32] Glasses
There it is! That's the
master of rare ingredients!
[10:35] Buns
Pirarucu?
[10:36] Guy
Those are edible?
[10:37] Guy
Are you even allowed to eat them?
[10:39] Azami
Whitefish flesh is decadent,
giving it a refined nature,
[10:43] Azami
and depending on how it's cooked,
you can enjoy a nice, springy texture,
[10:47] Azami
similar to chicken.
[10:49] Rindo
I'm friends with a guy
who breeds them in Japan,
[10:52] Rindo
and I even caught one in the Amazon before!
[10:54] Soma
Damn, that's cool.
[10:57] Azami
This is truly a unique dish I'd
expect from you, Kobayashi.
[11:00] Azami
She manages to tame all of the savage,
vast flavors Mother Nature has to offer,
[11:04] Azami
and transforms them into
a top-class gourmet dish.
[11:07] Anne
Mr. Aldini's dish also had
[11:09] Anne
complete harmony with its outer
shell and filling, making it superb.
[11:12] Anne
But...
[11:12] Decora
To think she was able to bring out the aroma
[11:15] Decora
of the spear squid this much with
the tender flesh of the pirarucu...
[11:17] Courage
It feels as though it will transform
the person eating it. This is...
[11:22] Anne
...the ultimate training routine!
[11:25] Decora
You don't feel confident enough
to wear calamari lingerie?
[11:28] Decora
Then, just for you...

[12:27] Taku
At this point, you're better than me, Senpai.
[12:29] Taku
I hate to admit it, but it's true.
[12:31] Rindo
Well, aren't you honest?
[12:37] Ura
We're finally down to our last match today:
SIGN 1st Match
Tsukasa Eishi vs. Isshiki Satoshi
2nd Match
Kobayashi Rindo vs. Takumi Aldini
[12:41] Ura
Tsukasa Eishi versus Isshiki Satoshi.
[12:44] Ryoko
I'm sure Isshiki-senpai will
be able to pull through!
[12:46] Niku
But he's up against the First Seat
of the Elite Ten... Tsukasa Eishi!
[12:49] Buns
And their theme is wild rabbit!
[12:52] Soma
Rabbit meat, huh?
[12:53] Soma
I think I handled some during
our French cooking class.
[12:56] Glasses
Yes. Rabbit meat is used
quite often in French cuisine,
[13:00] Glasses
and there are many ways to prepare it.
[13:02] Niku
Tsukasa Eishi is an expert in French cuisine,
[13:05] Niku
so he must have lots of experience with it.
[13:07] Ryoko
What about Isshiki-senpai?
He's an expert in Japanese cuisine.
[13:10] Buns
With traditional Japanese cooking, there
aren't many ways to prepare animal meats.
[13:15] Buns
Depending on the region, it's common
to eat venison or boar meat,
[13:20] Buns
but animal meats were pretty much
shunned until the Meiji era.
[13:26] Soma
So bitter!
[13:27] Haya
Despite what's going on, you sipping that tea is lessening the impact.
[13:31] Issh
Very nice.
[13:33] Sec
That must be the dashi stock.
[13:35] Guy
Despite the fact he's going up against
the First Seat of the Elite Ten,
[13:38] Guy
he still seems like he's
having fun as usual.
[13:40] Guy
It looks like he's just making
food for us back at the dorm.
[13:50] Nene
How can you look so happy
whenever you're cooking?
[13:53] Nene
You have no chance of winning.
[13:55] Nene
You know how powerful Tsukasa-senpai is.
[13:57] Issh
You think so?
[13:59] Issh
You don't know how a
contest will go until you try.
[14:02] Issh
Besides, someone who's
having fun is invincible.
[14:05] Issh
That's my life motto.
[14:10] Nene
It's not fair. Why?
[14:13] Nene
Why is Satoshi-kun good
at everything he does?
[14:17] Nene
He masters everything instantly.
[14:20] Nene
It's not fair. You're not fair, Satoshi-kun.
[14:25] Nene
Being a genius must be nice.
[14:30] Buns
I know! Maybe Isshiki-senpai is trying
a different cuisine than Japanese.
[14:34] Guy
Oh, yeah! Senpai's a pro at
basically any type of cuisine!
[14:39] Guy
I'm sure he's got plenty of ideas
for how to use that rabbit meat!
SIGN Owan Bowl
[14:49] Issh
I'll make traditional Japanese soup.
[14:51] Issh
A special Isshiki soup packed full of
the natural goodness in the ingredients.
[14:55] Nene
Ja...
[14:55] All
Japanese soup?!
[14:57] Guy
Reconsider this!
[14:58] Guy
Also, never say "Isshiki soup" again!
It's creepy!
[15:00] Soma
Huh? Why are you all so worked up?
[15:03] Soma
Japanese soup with wild rabbit
sounds super tasty.
[15:05] Sec
Don't make it sound so simple!
[15:06] Sec
Wild rabbit is game meat that's
renowned for its pungent smell!
[15:11] Ryoko
And out of all the options
he had, he picked wanmono,
[15:13] Ryoko
one of the mildest and most
delicate Japanese dishes.
[15:15] Eri
True. Even if the ingredient could be
[15:18] Eri
considered extra depth
or umami on other dishes,
[15:20] Eri
in wanmono, it could be considered
an unnecessary distraction.
[15:24] Bun
You're using gamey meat in wanmono?!
How thoughtless can you be?!
[15:29] Haya
You've used bear meat, Yukihira.
[15:31] Haya
You know how hard it is to handle game.
[15:33] Soma
Oh, yeah. That was super hard. It sucked.
[15:39] Issh
Now... This is where
the real challenge starts.
[15:42] Issh
I'll add these rabbit giblets
I sautéed just long enough
[15:44] Issh
to cook off excess moisture to the kombu dashi.
[15:46] Issh
I want to get all the umami
I can from it for my broth.
[15:48] Issh
I'm gonna be pushing it until the last second.
[15:51] Issh
I need to avoid any excess
bitterness or harshness.
[15:54] Issh
The exact moment when just enough
umami will be drawn out...
[15:57] Issh
The exact moment...
[15:58] Issh
And here it is.
[16:02] Issh
It's complete.
[16:03] Issh
Please enjoy.
[16:10] Decora
It's not an exaggeration to say that
you know how complete a wanmono is
[16:13] Decora
as soon as you open the lid.
[16:14] Anne
The first explosive rush of aroma...
[16:17] Anne
How much can that draw someone in?
[16:25] Anne
It's so warm, pyon!
[16:28] Guy
Seriously?
[16:29] Guy
The wild rabbit dashi isn't too pungent?
[16:31] Anne
This is the real deal!
The aroma is so pure and clear!
[16:34] Anne
I feel like I'm in my mother's warm embrace!
[16:38] Courage
The rich, mellow aroma of the kombu is
[16:41] Courage
combining with the powerful
and pungent wild rabbit...
[16:45] Decora
The rough edges have been worked away,
[16:47] Decora
leaving a pure, delicious soup
that could be easily served
[16:49] Decora
at a traditional Japanese restaurant.
[16:52] Both
We're head over heels, pyon!
[16:55] Nene
He managed to bewitch the Bookmen
with a single whiff of that broth.
[17:00] Nene
Dashi is one of the most profoundly
complex ingredients in Japanese cuisine,
[17:03] Nene
yet he managed to make it work with wild game?
[17:07] Anne
The beautiful colors of each ingredient
and how they're arranged...
[17:09] Anne
It's truly a piece of art!
[17:11] courage
Just looking at it is drawing me in.
[17:14] Decora
It's traditional and unconventional
at the same time.
[17:16] Decora
Truly genius.
[17:18] Nene
Why...
[17:19] Nene
He was born to the Isshiki family,
[17:22] Nene
a proud and prestigious lineage
that values tradition above all.
[17:25] Nene
How can he think of doing
things so unconventionally?
[17:28] issh
You don't have to glare at me like that.
[17:31] Issh
I guess you really do hate me.
[17:34] Nene
I-I don't...
[17:35] Issh
I mean, that's how you've always been,
ever since we were kids.
[17:38] Issh
You would always start crying if
you couldn't do something I could.
[17:42] Issh
Talk about memories.
[17:45] Nene
You always have to make fun of me
because I can only make dishes by the book.
[17:50] Nene
You don't know how it feels to be
shown how inept you are all the time!
[17:54] Issh
Kinokuni... All the time and effort you
put in is worth so much more praise.
[17:59] Issh
I mean, if you weren't around,
I'm honestly not sure I'd still be cooking.
[18:06] Anne
Now, let us judge the flavor.
[18:11] Decora
This flavor—
[18:13] Anne
It was already a feat to
masterfully use wild rabbit
[18:15] Anne
and kombu together in a delicate wanmono,
[18:17] Anne
but he even used dashi from clams!
[18:20] Guy
C-Clams?!
[18:21] Guy
Wait, can you even make soup broth from
wild rabbit and clams work together?!
[18:25] Erina
By combining the perfect ratio
of wild game and clam broths with
[18:29] Erina
suiji broth, which has the mellow,
salty body of the clams,
[18:32] Erina
he brings the deliciousness up another level.
[18:35] Anne
He's basically reinvented a
traditional Japanese soup stock
[18:38] Anne
unlike anything I've seen before!
[18:41] Niku
He created a new stock in a battle like this?
[18:43] Alice
Well done, Isshiki Satoshi-senpai.
[18:46] Buns
Yeah!
[18:47] Azami
From the aroma to the flavor,
we are taken by surprise.
[18:50] Azami
It's as if he's performing a
traditional Japanese dance
[18:53] Azami
to invite us to the world
of Japanese tradition.
[18:55] Azami
And then the wandane and the wanzuma...
[18:58] Nene
What do you mean, Isshiki?
[19:00] Nene
You don't know if you'd still be
cooking if it weren't for me?
[19:04] Issh
You basically saved me.
[19:06] Issh
You just never realized it.
[19:09] Issh
I guess I should explain.
[19:13] Issh
A traditional high-class restaurant
has stood for centuries
[19:15] Issh
in the Gion Ward of Tokyo,
[19:17] Issh
and I was born the eldest son
of the family who ran it.
[19:19] Issh
I started training to be a
chef at a very young age.
[19:23] (Flashback) Guy
If you're born to the Isshiki family,
you have to be capable of everything.
[19:29] (Flashback) Lady
Of course you have to do it. You must
become a professional immediately.
[19:32] Issh
I was never praised and
never felt accomplished.
[19:36] Issh
Day after day,
[19:37] Issh
I would just continue my training,
feeling completely empty inside.
[19:42] Issh
Back then, I truly had no idea
why anyone cooked at all.
[19:47] Issh
But then, I met a girl.
[19:52] Issh
This girl I had met in the
household I was training at...
[19:56] Issh
Her profile as she happily and
earnestly tried to master her technique
[19:59] Issh
looked beautiful to me.
[20:01] Issh
When I saw your profile,
[20:04] Issh
I was able to think that maybe
cooking could be fun.
[20:08] Issh
The joy of honing your skills
in order to make others happy...
[20:12] Issh
The name of the chef who
first taught me that
[20:16] Issh
is Kinokuni Nene.
[20:18] Issh
I have nothing but respect for you.
[20:22] Issh
So, Kinokuni, I want you to remember
[20:26] Issh
how you felt when I saw that
beautiful profile of yours.
[20:33] Courage
I wonder if there's something
inside this wandane.
[20:38] ---
Indeed...
[20:42] Decora
The clear broth is becoming cloudy!
[20:45] Anne
This mellow aroma... It's miso!
[20:48] Anne
The clear broth has instantly
become miso soup!
[20:52] All
What?!
[20:53] Issh
Let me answer your questions.
[20:55] Issh
What's inside that mochi is minced
wild rabbit and green onions.
[20:58] Issh
Both were steamed thoroughly
in white miso paste.
[21:01] Issh
For your first sip, I wanted
you to enjoy the clear soup,
[21:04] Issh
then to enjoy the aroma of the wild
rabbit and miso as it slowly spread.
[21:09] Issh
Now, after taking a bite of the dumpling,
please take another sip of the soup.
[21:17] Both
Oh, no!
[21:19] Anne
The white miso is combining the
savory goodness of the wild rabbit
[21:22] Anne
with the clear soup...
[21:24] Decora
...and perfectly blending them together!

Attention, everyone.
[00:05] Azami
I have an announcement.
[00:07] Azami
Regarding this Team Shokugeki...
There's going to be a change of judges.
[00:12] Azami
As of this moment, I will be the judge.
[00:16] Azami
I'm sure you've had enough of
the Elite Ten's dishes by now.
[00:21] Guy
What?!
[00:22] Guy
What are you talking about?!
[00:24] Niku
You're in charge of this whole thing!
There's no way you should be the judge!
[00:27] Buns
Get lost, you dumbass! You really
think that's gonna work?!
[00:31] Alice
I'm pretty sure Uncle Azami thinks just that.

You seem to be just about to eat, too.

Wow, someone disrupted his meal

Don't just come barging in here

You've got this, Big Bro!
[05:38] Taku
Nakiri Azami's actions definitely surprised me,
[05:42] Taku
but why is she so agitated?
[05:46] Taku
What was that brief uneasiness I just felt?
[05:50] Taku
It's almost like...
[05:51] Taku
a wild animal doing everything
it can to intimidate an enemy.
[05:55] Rindo
Come on! Move your ass, Aldini!
[05:59] Rindo
I'm gonna present my dish first!
[06:01] Azami
I guess we're tasting Kobayashi's dish first.
[06:03] Azami
Fetch me the wine list, will you, Courage?
[06:06] Courage
Of course, Azami-sama.
[06:09] Rindo
Rindo-senpai's comin' through!
[06:14] Isa
Big Bro's dish is done, too.
[06:16] Ura
It appears both contestants in the
second match will be serving at once.
[06:20] Ura
The new faces at the judges'
table will begin their tasting!
[06:25] Ryoko
Their theme was spear squid, wasn't it?
[06:28] Isa
Big Bro made calamari ripieni.
[06:31] Isa
It's a dish you make by stuffing the squid
[06:33] Isa
and baking it in the oven
until it's nice and juicy.
[06:36] Glasses
It's a dish commonly
served in Southern Italy,
[06:39] Glasses
off the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
[06:41] Buns
Way to go, Takumicchi!
[06:42] Ryoko
What's Rindo-senpai's dish?
[06:44] Guy
It's actually super elegant...
[06:46] Guy
It almost looks like a cute cake.
[06:48] Azami
How splendid.
[06:51] Azami
Why don't we partake in Takumi
Aldini's dish before it gets cold?
[06:56] Decora
Piping hot calamari...
[06:57] Decora
There's so much umami gushing out,
I feel like I might get burnt.
[07:00] Courage
Azami-sama, let me know if you
need us to blow on your food.
[07:05] Anne
Just shut up and eat already!
[07:07] Soma
It looks super tasty, like Japanese ikameshi.
[07:10] Isa
They may look similar, but what
you put inside is way different.
[07:14] Isa
Usually, you would mix panko,
cheese, eggs, and tomatoes.
[07:20] Sec
But because it's such a simple dish,
[07:22] Sec
the filling relies on the chef's
experience and creativity.
[07:29] Dec
The rich, juicy savoriness of the
seafood explodes all over my tongue!
[07:34] Dec
The keystones of this dish are
the squid liver and anchovies.
[07:37] Taku
Correct. I chopped them finely
and sautéed them in olive oil,
[07:40] Taku
red peppers, and garlic until
they were nice and fragrant.
[07:44] Taku
I then added some white
wine and simmered it.
[07:48] Anne
But the component that's giving this
dish most of its depth in flavor
[07:51] Anne
is actually on the outside.
[07:53] Taku
Right. After I sautéed the filling,
[07:55] Taku
I added heavy cream to the liquid
left in the pan and heated it,
[07:59] Taku
creating squid liver
and anchovy cream sauce.
[08:01] Taku
I've drizzled that sauce over the squid.
[08:04] Courage
The creaminess contrasts
[08:06] Courage
with the tanginess and saltiness inside,
[08:08] Courage
giving the tongue endless
shifting flavors to enjoy.
[08:12] Taku
Having the squid and its
filling harmonize perfectly
[08:16] Taku
brings out the ultimate
flavor of the spear squid.
[08:19] Taku
That is my calamari ripieni!
[08:21] Decora
We shall express how delicious
this dish is with our bodies.
[08:26] Boys
Their bodies?!
[08:28] Decora
A shell of calamari packed so full of
seafood umami that it's about to burst.
[08:32] Decora
It's almost like...
[08:34] Courage
The new winter collection that's going
to glamorously wrap around our bodies...
[08:39] Both
Calamari lingerie!
[08:41] Decora
We've recreated the soft and smooth
skin of the squid with silk.
[08:46] Decora
Because of the lighting,
[08:47] Decora
the lamé, which sparkles like the
anchovies' scales, adds to the luxury.
[08:52] Courage
In this sexy see-through cami that's
been inspired by the red peppers,

we up the volume with the girly

[09:15] Azami
My, my. Just as I had expected,
it tasted quite lovely.
[09:19] Ryoko
Even Director Azami gave him a compliment!
[09:21] Megu
Takumi-kun!
[09:22] Azami
Now, then...
[09:23] Azami
I believe that's enough of the opening act.
[09:25] Azami
Let's move on to the main attraction.
[09:28] Anne
Miss Kobayashi's dish...
[09:33] Anne
This is...
[09:34] Azami
Causa.
[09:36] Azami
One of the most classic
dishes of Peruvian cuisine.
[09:39] Azami
Various seafoods are
sandwiched in between layers
[09:42] Azami
of mashed potatoes and pressed together.
[09:45] Azami
You could even call it a
unique potato salad.
[09:48] Courage
She mixed minced spear squid
with egg whites and onions,
[09:52] Courage
then shallow-fried it with lemon,
mayonnaise, and soy sauce.
[09:56] Courage
That makes the fluffy squid
burger the star of the show.
[10:00] Anne
The famous Peruvian seasoning made from
mashed yellow peppers, Aji Amarillo,
[10:06] Anne
gives the mashed potatoes
a nice yellow color.
[10:09] Anne
The sweetness of Hokkaido's beloved
[10:10] Anne
Danshaku potatoes emphasizes
the body of the squid's flavor.
[10:15] Decora
The most surprising part is the
layer beneath the hamburger.
[10:18] Decora
It's usually a layer made with tuna,
[10:22] Decora
but she seems to have used a
somewhat unusual ingredient.
[10:25] Rindo
Yup! Pirarucu!
[10:28] Rindo
The world's largest freshwater fish,
which inhabits the Amazon River!
[10:32] Glasses
There it is! That's the
master of rare ingredients!
[10:35] Buns
Pirarucu?
[10:36] Guy
Those are edible?
[10:37] Guy
Are you even allowed to eat them?
[10:39] Azami
Whitefish flesh is decadent,
giving it a refined nature,
[10:43] Azami
and depending on how it's cooked,
you can enjoy a nice, springy texture,
[10:47] Azami
similar to chicken.
[10:49] Rindo
I'm friends with a guy
who breeds them in Japan,
[10:52] Rindo
and I even caught one in the Amazon before!
[10:54] Soma
Damn, that's cool.
[10:57] Azami
This is truly a unique dish I'd
expect from you, Kobayashi.
[11:00] Azami
She manages to tame all of the savage,
vast flavors Mother Nature has to offer,
[11:04] Azami
and transforms them into
a top-class gourmet dish.
[11:07] Anne
Mr. Aldini's dish also had
[11:09] Anne
complete harmony with its outer
shell and filling, making it superb.
[11:12] Anne
But...
[11:12] Decora
To think she was able to bring out the aroma
[11:15] Decora
of the spear squid this much with
the tender flesh of the pirarucu...
[11:17] Courage
It feels as though it will transform
the person eating it. This is...
[11:22] Anne
...the ultimate training routine!
[11:25] Decora
You don't feel confident enough
to wear calamari lingerie?
[11:28] Decora
Then, just for you...
[11:31] Courage
Just fifteen minutes a day for fourteen
days with our secret weapon, pirarucu...
SIGN Just 15 Minutes a Day for 14 Days!
[11:36] Courage
This is the miracle pirarucu
training regimen.
[11:39] Courage
Just look at how her twiggy figure
turned into the ideal body.
[11:42] Anne
Who are you calling twiggy?!
[11:43] Azami
That completes our deliberations.
[11:45] Azami
If you have any objections, speak now.
[11:48] Anne
I have no objections.

But he's up against the First Seat

[12:49] Buns
And their theme is wild rabbit!
[12:52] Soma
Rabbit meat, huh?
[12:53] Soma
I think I handled some during
our French cooking class.
[12:56] Glasses
Yes. Rabbit meat is used
quite often in French cuisine,
[13:00] Glasses
and there are many ways to prepare it.
[13:02] Niku
Tsukasa Eishi is an expert in French cuisine,
[13:05] Niku
so he must have lots of experience with it.
[13:07] Ryoko
What about Isshiki-senpai?
He's an expert in Japanese cuisine.
[13:10] Buns
With traditional Japanese cooking, there
aren't many ways to prepare animal meats.
[13:15] Buns
Depending on the region, it's common
to eat venison or boar meat,
[13:20] Buns
but animal meats were pretty much
shunned until the Meiji era.
[13:26] Soma
So bitter!
[13:27] Haya
Despite what's going on, you sipping that tea is lessening the impact.
[13:31] Issh
Very nice.
[13:33] Sec
That must be the dashi stock.
[13:35] Guy
Despite the fact he's going up against
the First Seat of the Elite Ten,
[13:38] Guy
he still seems like he's
having fun as usual.
[13:40] Guy
It looks like he's just making
food for us back at the dorm.
[13:50] Nene
How can you look so happy
whenever you're cooking?
[13:53] Nene
You have no chance of winning.
[13:55] Nene
You know how powerful Tsukasa-senpai is.
[13:57] Issh
You think so?
[13:59] Issh
You don't know how a
contest will go until you try.
[14:02] Issh
Besides, someone who's
having fun is invincible.
[14:05] Issh
That's my life motto.
[14:10] Nene
It's not fair. Why?
[14:13] Nene
Why is Satoshi-kun good
at everything he does?
[14:17] Nene
He masters everything instantly.
[14:20] Nene
It's not fair. You're not fair, Satoshi-kun.
[14:25] Nene
Being a genius must be nice.
[14:30] Buns
I know! Maybe Isshiki-senpai is trying
a different cuisine than Japanese.
[14:34] Guy
Oh, yeah! Senpai's a pro at
basically any type of cuisine!
[14:39] Guy
I'm sure he's got plenty of ideas
for how to use that rabbit meat!
SIGN Owan Bowl
[14:49] Issh
I'll make traditional Japanese soup.
[14:51] Issh
A special Isshiki soup packed full of
the natural goodness in the ingredients.
[14:55] Nene
Ja...
[14:55] All
Japanese soup?!
[14:57] Guy
Reconsider this!
[14:58] Guy
Also, never say "Isshiki soup" again!
It's creepy!
[15:00] Soma
Huh? Why are you all so worked up?
[15:03] Soma
Japanese soup with wild rabbit
sounds super tasty.
[15:05] Sec
Don't make it sound so simple!
[15:06] Sec
Wild rabbit is game meat that's
renowned for its pungent smell!
[15:11] Ryoko
And out of all the options
he had, he picked wanmono,
[15:13] Ryoko
one of the mildest and most
delicate Japanese dishes.
[15:15] Eri
True. Even if the ingredient could be
[15:18] Eri
considered extra depth
or umami on other dishes,
[15:20] Eri
in wanmono, it could be considered
an unnecessary distraction.
[15:24] Bun
You're using gamey meat in wanmono?!
How thoughtless can you be?!
[15:29] Haya
You've used bear meat, Yukihira.
[15:31] Haya
You know how hard it is to handle game.
[15:33] Soma
Oh, yeah. That was super hard. It sucked.
[15:39] Issh
Now... This is where
the real challenge starts.
[15:42] Issh
I'll add these rabbit giblets
I sautéed just long enough
[15:44] Issh
to cook off excess moisture to the kombu dashi.
[15:46] Issh
I want to get all the umami
I can from it for my broth.
[15:48] Issh
I'm gonna be pushing it until the last second.
[15:51] Issh
I need to avoid any excess
bitterness or harshness.
[15:54] Issh
The exact moment when just enough
umami will be drawn out...
[15:57] Issh
The exact moment...
[15:58] Issh
And here it is.
[16:02] Issh
It's complete.
[16:03] Issh
Please enjoy.
[16:10] Decora
It's not an exaggeration to say that
you know how complete a wanmono is
[16:13] Decora
as soon as you open the lid.
[16:14] Anne
The first explosive rush of aroma...
[16:17] Anne
How much can that draw someone in?
[16:25] Anne
It's so warm, pyon!
[16:28] Guy
Seriously?
[16:29] Guy
The wild rabbit dashi isn't too pungent?
[16:31] Anne
This is the real deal!
The aroma is so pure and clear!
[16:34] Anne
I feel like I'm in my mother's warm embrace!
[16:38] Courage
The rich, mellow aroma of the kombu is
[16:41] Courage
combining with the powerful
and pungent wild rabbit...
[16:45] Decora
The rough edges have been worked away,
[16:47] Decora
leaving a pure, delicious soup
that could be easily served
[16:49] Decora
at a traditional Japanese restaurant.
[16:52] Both
We're head over heels, pyon!
[16:55] Nene
He managed to bewitch the Bookmen
with a single whiff of that broth.
[17:00] Nene
Dashi is one of the most profoundly
complex ingredients in Japanese cuisine,
[17:03] Nene
yet he managed to make it work with wild game?
[17:07] Anne
The beautiful colors of each ingredient
and how they're arranged...
[17:09] Anne
It's truly a piece of art!
[17:11] courage
Just looking at it is drawing me in.
[17:14] Decora
It's traditional and unconventional
at the same time.
[17:16] Decora
Truly genius.
[17:18] Nene
Why...
[17:19] Nene
He was born to the Isshiki family,
[17:22] Nene
a proud and prestigious lineage
that values tradition above all.
[17:25] Nene
How can he think of doing
things so unconventionally?
[17:28] issh
You don't have to glare at me like that.
[17:31] Issh
I guess you really do hate me.
[17:34] Nene
I-I don't...
[17:35] Issh
I mean, that's how you've always been,
ever since we were kids.
[17:38] Issh
You would always start crying if
you couldn't do something I could.
[17:42] Issh
Talk about memories.
[17:45] Nene
You always have to make fun of me
because I can only make dishes by the book.
[17:50] Nene
You don't know how it feels to be
shown how inept you are all the time!
[17:54] Issh
Kinokuni... All the time and effort you
put in is worth so much more praise.
[17:59] Issh
I mean, if you weren't around,
I'm honestly not sure I'd still be cooking.
[18:06] Anne
Now, let us judge the flavor.
[18:11] Decora
This flavor—
[18:13] Anne
It was already a feat to
masterfully use wild rabbit
[18:15] Anne
and kombu together in a delicate wanmono,
[18:17] Anne
but he even used dashi from clams!
[18:20] Guy
C-Clams?!
[18:21] Guy
Wait, can you even make soup broth from
wild rabbit and clams work together?!
[18:25] Erina
By combining the perfect ratio
of wild game and clam broths with
[18:29] Erina
suiji broth, which has the mellow,
salty body of the clams,
[18:32] Erina
he brings the deliciousness up another level.
[18:35] Anne
He's basically reinvented a
traditional Japanese soup stock
[18:38] Anne
unlike anything I've seen before!
[18:41] Niku
He created a new stock in a battle like this?
[18:43] Alice
Well done, Isshiki Satoshi-senpai.
[18:46] Buns
Yeah!
[18:47] Azami
From the aroma to the flavor,
we are taken by surprise.
[18:50] Azami
It's as if he's performing a
traditional Japanese dance
[18:53] Azami
to invite us to the world
of Japanese tradition.
[18:55] Azami
And then the wandane and the wanzuma...
[18:58] Nene
What do you mean, Isshiki?
[19:00] Nene
You don't know if you'd still be
cooking if it weren't for me?
[19:04] Issh
You basically saved me.
[19:06] Issh
You just never realized it.
[19:09] Issh
I guess I should explain.
[19:13] Issh
A traditional high-class restaurant
has stood for centuries
[19:15] Issh
in the Gion Ward of Tokyo,
[19:17] Issh
and I was born the eldest son
of the family who ran it.
[19:19] Issh
I started training to be a
chef at a very young age.
[19:23] (Flashback) Guy
If you're born to the Isshiki family,
you have to be capable of everything.
[19:29] (Flashback) Lady
Of course you have to do it. You must
become a professional immediately.
[19:32] Issh
I was never praised and
never felt accomplished.
[19:36] Issh
Day after day,
[19:37] Issh
I would just continue my training,
feeling completely empty inside.
[19:42] Issh
Back then, I truly had no idea
why anyone cooked at all.
[19:47] Issh
But then, I met a girl.
[19:52] Issh
This girl I had met in the
household I was training at...
[19:56] Issh
Her profile as she happily and
earnestly tried to master her technique
[19:59] Issh
looked beautiful to me.
[20:01] Issh
When I saw your profile,
[20:04] Issh
I was able to think that maybe
cooking could be fun.
[20:08] Issh
The joy of honing your skills
in order to make others happy...
[20:12] Issh
The name of the chef who
first taught me that
[20:16] Issh
is Kinokuni Nene.
[20:18] Issh
I have nothing but respect for you.
[20:22] Issh
So, Kinokuni, I want you to remember
[20:26] Issh
how you felt when I saw that
beautiful profile of yours.
[20:33] Courage
I wonder if there's something
inside this wandane.
[20:38] ---
Indeed...
[20:42] Decora
The clear broth is becoming cloudy!
[20:45] Anne
This mellow aroma... It's miso!
[20:48] Anne
The clear broth has instantly
become miso soup!
[20:52] All
What?!
[20:53] Issh
Let me answer your questions.
[20:55] Issh
What's inside that mochi is minced
wild rabbit and green onions.
[20:58] Issh
Both were steamed thoroughly
in white miso paste.
[21:01] Issh
For your first sip, I wanted
you to enjoy the clear soup,
[21:04] Issh
then to enjoy the aroma of the wild
rabbit and miso as it slowly spread.
[21:09] Issh
Now, after taking a bite of the dumpling,
please take another sip of the soup.
[21:17] Both
Oh, no!
[21:19] Anne
The white miso is combining the
savory goodness of the wild rabbit
[21:22] Anne
with the clear soup...
[21:24] Decora

Isshiki Satoshi from the rebels
made a very powerful wanmono soup.
[02:50] Ura
What did Tsukasa Eishi from
the Elite Ten make?
[02:54] Anne
Lièvre à la Royale, or "a royal
way to serve wild rabbit."
[02:59] Anne
An iconic dish said to be
loved even by Louis XIV.
[03:04] Anne
One of the most traditional wild
game dishes for French royalty.
[03:09] Courage
A thick, aromatic fragrance...
[03:12] Courage
There's no doubt that this
is of the highest quality.
[03:15] Decora
How did he add his own flavor
to such a classic dish?
[03:23] decora
He sliced the meat from the front legs,
back legs, and around the neck,
[03:27] decora
then wrapped it into a ballotine tube.
[03:31] Decora
Then he sautéed it in a frying pan,
[03:33] Decora
subduing the distinct odor,
but keeping the meat juicy.
[03:36] Anne
The sauce is a red wine reduction
using wild rabbit bone fond and meat,
[03:40] Anne
then adding foie gras, chocolate, and
the rabbit's own blood. It is perfection.
[03:44] Anne
This is, without a doubt,
a first-class dish...
[03:46] Anne
But Mr. Isshiki's dish that was
filled with playfulness and surprise
[03:51] Anne
still surpasses this.
[03:55] Decora
No... Not yet!
[03:59] Niku
Wait, what's going on?
[04:01] Ryoko
She's writhing around.
[04:02] Decora
Underneath the sauce...
[04:04] Anne
Huh?
[04:05] Anne
Another mysterious layer is
hidden beneath the sauce?
[04:09] Anne
This is... royale?
[04:17] Anne
The aroma of porcini mushrooms
is filling my mouth!
[04:21] Anne
Its silky texture is melting on my tongue.
[04:25] Buns
Doesn't royale mean
"prepared in a royal way"?
[04:28] Erina
Yes, but they also call
[04:30] Erina
a custard of eggs with various
other fillings "royale."
[04:34] Erina
You could call it the French
version of chawanmushi.
[04:37] Alice
So this is basically both
kinds of royale, since it's
[04:40] Alice
a royal way to serve the dish and
a Western-style chawanmushi.

All while making sure the
initial impact is not lost.

How is he able to think of all this?
[05:05] Anne
Even if an ordinary chef could
come up with this idea,

I'm sure it would be far too
difficult to even attempt.

No, I humbly decline.
[06:34] Isshi
Even if I'm stripped down
to just a loincloth,
[06:36] Isshi
I refuse to give up on having
fun with my cooking.
[06:40] Eishi
Yeah, I figured.
[06:42] Eishi
Yukihira declined before, too.
[06:45] Eishi
I guess I'm really not cut
out to stand above people.
[06:49] Eizan
I'm pretty sure anyone would've
declined under those circumstances.
[06:55] Kino
Isshiki...
[06:56] Isshi
Oh? Are you going to cheer me up?
[06:58] Kino
Wha—
[06:59] Kino
No! I was just going to tell you that
there's no way you could've won.
[07:04] Kino
You know it better than anyone.
[07:05] Kino
That's just how Tsukasa-senpai is.
[07:09] Kino
The only thing that goes through
his head is bettering his cooking.
[07:11] Kino
That's why he's the best. He's invincible.
[07:14] Isshi
You think so?
[07:15] Kino
Huh?
[07:17] Isshi
Welp... I guess we'll just have
to leave the rest to those two.

[07:30] Ura
If one chef remains from each team tomorrow,
we will conduct a sixth bout...
[07:35] Gramps
Nay!
[07:37] Gramps
The next battle, the fifth bout, will be
the final match of the Team Shokugeki.
[07:42] Gramps
It will be the final bout!
[07:45] Erina
Grandfather?
[07:46] Ryoko
What does he mean?
[07:47] Niku
The next match is going to be the last?
[07:49] Gramps
We're going to change the format.
[07:52] Gramps
Both chefs from each team
will present a dish.
[07:55] Gramps
They will serve their dishes
in order as a two-course meal.
[08:00] Gramps
One chef will prepare the hors d'oeuvre,
[08:03] Gramps
and the other will prepare the main dish.
[08:06] Soma
A meal...
[08:07] Erina
...with two dishes?
[08:09] Azami
Oh? So we'll be judging the dishes as a pair.
[08:12] Rindo
Huh. That sounds fun.
[08:15] Eishi
Yes.
[08:16] Gramps
You may use whatever ingredients
you'd like, but the overall theme will be
[08:22] Gramps
"a truly gourmet multi-course meal."
[08:25] Gramps
Any objections, Director?
[08:28] Azami
No, I believe that's a splendid idea.
[08:31] Azami
A musical suite of gourmet prepared
by Tsukasa and Kobayashi...
[08:35] Azami
It'll be a treat to taste
that at a competition.
[08:38] Azami
After all, the current Elite Ten
consists of chefs that I believe
[08:41] Azami
embody the ideal of gourmet.
[08:43] Azami
But in her current state, Erina will not
be able to create true gourmet food.
[08:49] Azami
I know that better than anyone.
[08:51] Erina
I wonder if that's actually true.
[08:53] Erina
I believe I've changed quite a bit.
[08:56] Erina
I'm sure my dish will not be
something I could've made before.
[09:00] Erina
Your little Erina has become a delinquent
girl who's run away from home.
[09:04] Erina
I am no longer your obedient
little girl, Father.
[09:08] Megu
Nakiri-san!
[09:10] Alice
That's what I'm talking about.
[09:12] Azami
Rebelling when going through
puberty is quite natural.
[09:17] Azami
I accept this fact as your father.
[09:18] Azami
And I will welcome you into Central...
[09:21] Azami
after we've purified you.
[09:24] Azami
That is absolutely necessary, Erina.
[09:28] Azami
You are the key to leading
chefs down the proper path.
[09:34] Gramps
Let us gather again here tomorrow.
[09:38] Gramps
The victors will decide the
future of Totsuki Academy.
[09:41] Gramps
Give it your all, young chefs!
[09:45] Niku
Yeah... Those two might
actually stand a chance.
[09:49] Ryoko
Yukihira-kun and Nakiri-san
have grown so much as chefs.
[09:53] Megu
I'm sure they can create dishes that
can beat the First and Second Seats...
[09:57] All
...as strong they are right now!
[10:03] Taku
Kobayashi-senpai.
[10:06] Taku
May I ask you a question?
[10:08] Rindo
Huh?
[10:09] Rindo
What's up, Aldini?
[10:11] Taku
I apologize if I'm completely
wrong about this.
[10:14] Taku
But I wanted to ask about the uneasiness
[10:17] Taku
I felt during our last match.
[10:19] Taku
Why are you so afraid, Kobayashi-senpai?
[10:27] Rindo
You dumbass! You're calling me afraid?!
[10:29] Rindo
I have no idea what you're talking about!
[10:31] Rindo
Ugh, who do you think
you are?! You stupid brats!
[10:35] Soma
Whoa, what was that all about?
[10:37] Soma
Did you piss off Rindo-senpai?
[10:39] Taku
Er...
[10:45] Alice
The Team Shokugeki is finally going to
end tomorrow. Everything will be decided.
[10:49] Ryoko
I feel so restless.
[10:51] Buns
There's no way I'll be able to sleep tonight.
[10:54] Niku
Isn't there something we can do?
[10:56] Guy
I mean, Yukihira and the others are
fighting to reverse our expulsions.
[11:00] Guy
Maybe we can help with
trial stuff or something.
[11:02] Kuga
Non, non.
[11:04] Kuga
The more everyone gets involved,
the more time they're going to waste.
[11:08] Buns
But not doing anything is just...
[11:10] Kuga
I think it's part of our job
to just believe in those two.
[11:16] Kuga
Besides, staying up late
is murder on your skin!
[11:19] Kuga
Go to bed right now, you hear me?!
SIGN Ohohohohohoho
[11:22] Both
Sure...
[11:24] Soma
Let's go over this one more time.
[11:25] Soma
I'm gonna go "bam" and present this as
the main dish, and "boom," win this thing.
[11:29] Soma
So you just make an appetizer
to go with that, chop chop.
[11:32] Erina
Why do you never think things through?!
[11:35] Erina
I will give you a proper lecture
on truly elegant course meals!
[11:41] Soma
Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr...
[11:41] Erina
Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr...
[11:42] Issh
It's rare to see two people disagree this much.
SIGN Rawr Rawr Rawr Rawr Rawr
[11:45] Megu
We don't have any more time.
What are we going to do?
[11:49] Rindo
It's so cold...
[11:51] Rindo
This basically completes the meal
we're gonna make tomorrow.
[11:56] Rindo
Uh, hey, Tsukasa?
[11:59] Eishi
Oh, sorry. Yeah, this should be fine.
[12:02] Soma
Quail Stuffed with Risotto and Egg,
Cheeky Youngster Style, new and improved!
[12:06] Soma
My Countdown Mapo Curry Noodles!
New and improved!
[12:09] Soma
Both are my specialties!
SIGN Don't get a
big head
[12:13] Erina
They aren't profound enough
to be main dishes.
[12:16] Erina
They didn't get used as main
dishes as SHINO's, did they?
[12:19] Erina
There you have it.
[12:21] Erina
It's too difficult to work
mapo noodles into a course.
[12:25] Erina
You clearly haven't given any
thought to any other dish
[12:27] Erina
in this course with these
ridiculous dishes. Rejected.
[12:30] Rindo
Well, see ya. Make sure you
get plenty of rest, Tsukasa.
[12:33] Eishi
You, too, Rindo.
[12:34] Eishi
Goodnight.
[12:39] Megi
Kobayashi.
[12:40] Rindo
Megishima?
[12:41] Megi
I'm sorry I couldn't beat you.
[12:46] Rindo
Megishima, what the hell are you—
[12:48] Megi
I can tell. The one who's the most
troubled in this Team Shokugeki is you.
[12:56] Erina
I'm not saying this as anything
personal. This is strategy.
[13:00] Erina
As the one with more experience,
I should be the one who decides
[13:03] Erina
this meal's main dish.
[13:04] Soma
What? No one ever decided
you're better than me.
[13:07] Erina
I was the Tenth Seat in the Elite Ten.
[13:10] Erina
You were just a normal student.
It should be obvious.
[13:12] Soma
You gave up your seat on the
Elite Ten the other day!
SIGN Rawr Rawr Rawr Rawr
[13:15] Soma
That means you're just a normal student, too!
[13:17] Erina
You're just nitpicking!
[13:18] Soma
Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr...
[13:18] Erina
Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr...
[13:20] Taku
How long are they going to continue this?
[13:23] Rindo
Things used to be so much fun.
[13:25] Rindo
We were innocently idolizing
things just out of our reach.
[13:29] Rindo
I never thought about what it'd
be like after we obtained them.
SIGN 5 Years Ago
[13:44] (Flashback) Rindo
Swallows are amazing, huh?
[13:47] (Flashback) Rindo
Look how high they can fly!
[13:49] (Flashback) Eishi
We've been watching this for
30 minutes. You're so weird, Rindo.
[13:54] (Flashback) Rindo
I'm not as weird as you, though!
[13:57] (Flashback) Rindo
You keep saying you want
to be more perfect,
[13:59] (Flashback) Rindo
so you keep going after
the teachers all the time.
[14:03] Rindo
He seems super fun!
[14:06] (Flashback) Eishi
Well, I mean, if we want to survive Totsuki,
we have to work harder than most.
[14:12] (Flashback) Rindo
And because of that,
you're the top of our class.
[14:16] (Flashback) Eishi
I want to polish my skills
more than anyone else
[14:19] (Flashback) Eishi
and take the first seat of the Elite Ten.
[14:22] (Flashback) Rindo
Huh... Well, if you're gonna take the
first seat, I'll take the second seat.
[14:26] (Flashback) Eishi
What?
[14:27] (Flashback) Rindo
Aiming for the top seems like a lot
more fun if it's the both of us.
[14:30] (Flashback) Eishi
S-Sure...
[14:31] (Flashback) Rindo
Heck yeah! The two of us are
gonna take over Totsuki!
[14:35] (Flashback) Eishi
Yeah.
[14:38] Rindo
And then Tsukasa and I...
SIGN Tsukasa Eishi Kobayashi Rindo Megishima Tosuke
[14:40] Rindo
really became the first and second
seats of Totsuki's Elite Ten.
SIGN A Few Years Later
SIGN Second Seat
SIGN First Seat
[14:47] (Flashback) Nene
Tsukasa-senpai,
[14:49] (Flashback) Nene
didn't you have a gourmet banquet to
go to with Rindo-senpai after this?
[14:53] (Flashback) Eishi
Yeah... But I just can't
seem to finish this work.
[14:55] (Flashback) Momo
Oh, fine. Bucchi and I will help you out.
[14:59] (Flashback) Megi
I'll take care of the
budget management papers.
[15:02] (Flashback) Megi
I'm an expert when it comes to counting money.
[15:05] (Flashback) Rindo
Tsukasa is pretty useless when it
comes to anything but cooking,
[15:08] (Flashback) Rindo
but he kept working hard so
he could polish his craft.
[15:12] (Flashback) Jowls
This dish is a definite 100.
You're superb, Tsukasa Eishi.
[15:16] (Flashback) Guy
No wonder he's the first seat!
[15:18] (Flashback) Lady
Totsuki is simply magnificent.
[15:20] (Flashback) Lady
Yes, and he's the top student!
[15:29] (Flashback) Eishi
Huh? Why did I feel annoyed just now?
[15:33] (Flashback) Guy
Welcome to the Kaiser Grand Hotel's
platinum members banquet.
SIGN Las Vegas, Nevada
United States of America
[15:38] (Flashback) Guy
Today, we welcome Tsukasa Eishi-kun,
[15:42] (Flashback) Guy
who is the First Seat of the Elite Ten
of the renowned Totsuki Academy.
[15:47] (Flashback) Guy
Please look forward to what
we have in store for you.
[15:49] (Flashback) Rindo
Congrats, Tsukasa.
[15:51] (Flashback) Rindo
You got invited to the US to cook
at an amazing place like this.
[15:54] (Flashback) Guy
This is delicious!
[15:55] (Flashback) Lady
How wonderful.
[15:57] (Flashback) Guy
I can see why he's the first seat.
[15:59] (Flashback) Guy
Yes.
[16:01] (Flashback) Lady
Oh, my...
[16:06] (Flashback) Rindo
Good job!
[16:07] (Flashback) Rindo
You did great, Tsukasa!
[16:09] (Flashback) Rindo
Especially the main dish! Picking that
sauce must've been super challenging.
[16:13] (Flashback) Tsuka
Uh... Thanks, Rindo.
[16:16] (Flashback) Azami
Well, that was an awful banquet.
[16:19] (Flashback) Azami
It was so awful that it
was actually entertaining.
[16:21] (Flashback) Rindo
What the hell? You are you?
[16:24] (Flashback) Azami
Tsukasa Eishi-kun, the passion
you poured into that meal
[16:28] (Flashback) Azami
didn't reach any of the pigs in that room.
[16:33] (Flashback) Azami
And your main dish today...
Even you didn't think it was a 100.
[16:38] (Flashback) Azami
Am I right?
[16:41] (Flashback) rindo
Is what that weirdo said
still getting to you?
[16:47] (Flashback) Rindo
The crowd really loved that dish,
and I thought it was great, too.
[16:51] (Flashback) Eishi
I'm not sure why, but lately, whenever
someone I don't know praises my dish,
[16:57] (Flashback) Eishi
it really pisses me off.
[16:59] (Flashback) Tsuka
Tsukasa?
[17:00] (Flashback) Eishi
But he was the only person who
actually called my banquet awful.
SIGN Los Angeles, California
United States of America
[17:08] Rindo
Ever since then,
[17:09] Rindo
without me knowing, Tsukasa was...
[17:16] (Flashback) Azami
Oh, hello there. We met in Vegas.
[17:19] (Flashback) Azami
What a coincidence.
[17:20] (Flashback) Eishi
Coincidence? It seems to me
like you knew I'd be here.
[17:24] (Flashback) Azami
Let us rejoice over this reunion.
[17:26] (Flashback) Azami
I'm pretty sure you're interested in me, too.
[17:30] (Flashback) Azami
Let's say Pablo Picasso was still alive.
[17:33] (Flashback) Eishi
I'm sorry?
[17:34] (Flashback) Azami
If his new piece was about to be announced,
[17:37] (Flashback) Azami
would you be able to judge if it
was truly a masterpiece or not?
[17:41] (Flashback) Eishi
I don't think so. I don't
know much about paintings.
[17:45] (Flashback) Eishi
But with music, I can at least
appreciate what each instrument
[17:49] (Flashback) Eishi
is bringing to a piece of music.
[17:52] (Flashback) Azami
Let's change the subject to cooking
so it's easier to understand.
[17:55] (Flashback) Azami
You'd be able to discern the intent
and design of a dish, correct?
[18:00] (Flashback) Azami
But those who lack that
sense or understanding
[18:04] (Flashback) Azami
will always react the same way, no matter
how much work you may put into a dish
[18:09] (Flashback) Azami
or how much you challenge yourself.
[18:12] (Flashback) Azami
All those people praised your dish
[18:14] (Flashback) Azami
solely because of your title of first seat.
[18:18] (Flashback) Azami
And you're tired of that, are you not?
[18:21] (Flashback) Azami
You should use your energy for
those who truly understand you.
[18:28] (Flashback) Azami
For example, someone like me.
[18:32] Rindo
And ever since then,
[18:33] Rindo
Tsukasa would do everything he
could to get work in America.
[18:37] Rindo
I didn't find out until later that
[18:39] Rindo
he'd met with Nakiri Azami
over there countless times.
[18:43] (Flashback) Azami
What do you think it means
to hone your cooking skills?
[18:46] (Flashback) Eishi
Huh?
[18:47] (Flashback) Azami
At times, cooking feels like a vast wasteland.
[18:51] (Flashback) Azami
But in actuality, that's not the case.
[18:53] (Flashback) Azami
Cooking always has a very specific goal.
[18:57] (Flashback) Azami
As long as it's done properly,
[18:59] (Flashback) Azami
anyone can get there peacefully,
using the quickest route.
[19:03] (Flashback) Eishi
But how do you...
[19:05] (Flashback) Azami
Never listen to what those pigs have to say.
[19:09] (Flashback) Azami
All you need is a proper
compass that will lead you down
[19:13] (Flashback) Azami
the proper path with absolute accuracy.
[19:16] (Flashback) Azami
Something to save all
chefs from their suffering.
[19:20] (Flashback) Azami
And that is the God Tongue,
which my daughter possesses.
[19:23] (Flashback) Eishi
God Tongue? But that's...
[19:25] (Flashback) Azami
You know her very well. She's the
Tenth Seat of the Elite Ten, Nakiri Erina.
[19:31] (Flashback) Azami
I am her father.
[19:34] Megi
I'm sure Nakiri Azami was
already planning to take over
[19:38] Megi
Totsuki when he was getting
closer to Tsukasa.
[19:41] Rindo
Who knows? I don't care
about any of that stuff.
[19:45] Megi
Why did you support him?
[19:48] Rindo
Well...
[19:50] (Flashback) Rindo
There's a new wave.
[19:53] (Flashback) Rindo
Riding that wave feels like
the most exciting possibility.
[19:57] Rindo
I think it's because I thought I could
[19:58] Rindo
keep making a lot of yummy
things with Tsukasa.
[20:02] Rindo
Well, I should get to bed early
so I'll be ready for tomorrow.

[20:30] Ura
I can't wait to find out!

Who knows? But I think it's fine.
She's cuter this way.

Now, take a look at the Elite Ten's side!
[20:44] Ura
Tsukasa Eishi and Kobayashi
Rindo have arrived!
[20:49] Rindo
You okay, Tsukasa? You weren't able to
get rid of all your fatigue, were you?
[20:54] Eishi
Surprisingly, I'm not doing too bad.
[20:57] Eishi
I actually feel more alert. I might
be in my best condition ever.
[21:01] Ura
How are you two splitting up the course?
[21:04] Rindo
Well, I'm gonna do the appetizer,
and Tsukasa's gonna do the main dish.
[21:08] Niku
So the first seat is doing
the main dish after all.
[21:11] Buns
I wonder how our two split up the tasks.
[21:13] Ryoko
Megumi, how did things go last night?
[21:17] Guy
Uh, they seem super worn out.
[21:19] Guy
Why, though?!
[21:20] Buns
How'd the strategy meeting go?
[21:21] Buns
Who's making what?
[21:23] Issh

All right, here we go, Nakiri.

Our teamwork's screwed!
[21:41] Guy
Crap!
[21:43] Both
Shoot!
[21:44] Soma
Damn it, I got the appetizer.
[21:47] Soma
And I wanted to finish in
style with the main dish.
[21:50] Erina
Hmph. There was never any doubt.
[21:51] Ura

If the rebels happen to win,
[00:21] Ura
they'll also be able to save all of

[00:26] Buns
You've got this!
[00:27] Guy
But they're up against the
top two Totsuki third-years!
[00:31] Guy
I know Nakiri-chan and Yukihira are
both amazing, but they're only first-years.
[00:35] Niku
The top two of the Elite Ten...
How can they beat them?
[00:38] Rindo
All right, let's do this!
[00:41] Tsuka
Once we win this, I'm going to be
swamped with Elite Ten work again...
[00:45] Tsuka
Isshiki and Megishima were so reliable.
[00:48] Rindo
Hey, damn it! Shape up, Tsukasa!
[00:51] Tsuka
I mean, I'll do my best.
[00:54] Tsuka
After this match, there'll be no one
left to stand up against Central.
[00:58] Tsuka
I feel bad for Yukihira and the
others who will be expelled,
[01:00] Tsuka
but there's no helping it.
[01:02] Tsuka
This is all to better the art of cooking.
[01:06] Ura
The Elite Ten team has begun cooking!
[01:14] Tsuka
I'll leave the rest to you, Rindo.
[01:17] Rindo
Sure thing!
[01:17] Sec
I see. You're allowed to help
your partner in this match.
[01:21] Alice
They're the perfect combination.
[01:23] Yuki
And yet, we get...
[01:25] Soma
I may have gotten stuck making the appetizer,
[01:27] Soma
but I'm gonna make a dish that'll
beat yours, so be ready!
[01:30] Erina
Uh, that's not the point here!
You need to take this more seriously!
[01:33] Kuro
They're still arguing.
[01:35] Hayama
Are they going to be okay?
[01:38] Azami
This match ended as soon as it began.
SIGN Food Wars
SIGN The Fourth Plate
SIGN How to Build a Specialty
[03:19] Ura
Well, let's see how each
team is progressing.
[03:22] Both
Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr...
[03:22] Ura
It appears the rebel team still has
no intention of working together.
[03:25] Ura
What kind of meal could they possibly create?
[03:29] Ura
On the other hand, the Elite Ten team
[03:31] Ura
are working together and are already in
the final stages of their preparations.
[03:34] Sec
Are we going to see more
powerful and extravagant dishes
[03:37] Sec
with beasts and rare ingredients?
[03:40] Rindo
I'm almost done here.
How are you doing, Tsukasa?
[03:44] Tsuka
Perfect timing.
[03:46] Tsuka
I'll be done right around the time
they finish eating your appetizer.
[03:49] Rindo
All right! I'm just gonna
go serve up my dish, then.
[03:53] Buns
The enemy's already ready
to serve their dishes!
[03:55] Ryoko
The appetizer that Rindo-senpai created...
[03:58] Glasses
At least, that's what that's
supposed to be. But is it really?
[04:00] Shun
Not a typical dish from the
rare ingredients master.
[04:03] Niku
Look at the beautiful layers
on that mille-feuille!
[04:07] Rindo
I call it Mushroom Mille-Feuille
with Duxelles Filling!
SIGN Mushroom Mille-Feuille
SIGN with Duxelles Filling
[04:12] Azami
The presentation is already spectacular.
[04:15] Azami
Let us go ahead and try the dish.
[04:17] ---
Yes.
[04:20] Decora
Amazing!
[04:22] Decora
The exciting flavors of multiple
types of mushrooms
[04:24] Decora
meld together with the ultra-thin
pie crust in a moist harmony.
[04:28] Anne
The star ingredient Miss Kobayashi chose
for this dish is shiitake mushrooms.
[04:31] Anne
She used olive oil to cook them into a confit,
[04:33] Anne
trapping the umami flavor
while enhancing it, as well.
[04:37] Azami
Champignon mushrooms and shallots sautéed
to a golden brown in garlic and butter,
[04:42] Azami
then simmered to a paste in broth.
[04:43] Azami
Cracked nuts and heavy cream were
blended in to make a duxelles
[04:45] Azami
that she sandwiched between
the mille-feuille layers.
[04:48] Azami
And the deciding factor
to this dish is the tang.
[04:51] Anne
Huh? This tang...
[04:53] Azami
What did you use to bring out this tang?
[04:57] Rindo
Ants.
[04:58] All
What?!
[05:00] Shun
So she is the master of
rare ingredients, after all.
[05:02] Buns
Wait, ants? You can't be serious.
[05:05] Rindo
Oh, I'm totally serious.
[05:07] Rindo
I extracted formic acid from ants
and mixed it into my duxelles.
[05:12] Anne
I see. Too much formic acid is poisonous,
[05:16] Anne
but in small amounts, it can
be a wonderful accent.
[05:19] Anne
It's not unnecessarily sweet.
[05:20] Anne
It just provides a sharp tang
that's truly invigorating.
[05:24] Azami
Plus, with something sweet,
[05:25] Azami
it can create deeper, more nuanced
flavors than most citrus fruits.
[05:30] Azami
She has undoubtedly reached
a professional level.
[05:33] Rindo
Older ants would give you
SIGN Old
SIGN Young
[05:35] Rindo
more formic acid than you want,
and it'd ruin the flavor.
[05:37] Rindo
The young ones give me the mellow
sweetness that I'm looking for.
[05:41] Soma
Damn it, she's good...
[05:43] Kuro
Not bad, Second Seat.
[05:45] Hiya
She managed to use that
freakish ingredient perfectly.
[05:48] Alice
She's created a delicate
and elegant appetizer.
[05:51] Decora
The appetizer...
[05:54] Decora
Its duty is to stimulate the diner's
appetite and pique interest.
[05:58] Decora
Yes, when faced with the power of this dish,
[06:02] Decora
even the butterflies of the gourmet world
[06:04] Decora
have no means of defending themselves.
[06:07] Decora
They can only be helplessly carried away
[06:09] Decora
with incredible strength and
dragged to the main dish.
[06:15] Azami
This dish is 100 percent. I couldn't
have asked for a more perfect appetizer.
[06:19] Rindo
Hey, come on, now.
It's too soon to be satisfied.
[06:23] Rindo
After all, the main dish is still coming up.
[06:27] Rindo
Go, Tsukasa!
[06:29] Tsuka
Right. Yes, this is the best
dish I can produce right now.
[06:34] Tsuka
True gourmet, my specialty...
[06:38] Kuro
Salt crust.
[06:39] Alice
A baking method where salt
is mixed with egg whites
[06:41] Alice
and then spread over the top of
a dish to form a thick crust.
[06:44] Haya
It ensures that no moisture escapes,
[06:48] Haya
keeping the deliciousness
concentrated inside.
[06:50] Glasses
Long ago, when Toyotomi
Hideyoshi was deployed
[06:52] Glasses
on expeditions, he'd cover
sea bream with a salt crust
[06:55] Glasses
to prevent it from rotting.
[06:57] All
Huh...
[07:03] Both
Whoa.
[07:03] Niku
He just revealed some glistening red meat!
[07:07] Haya
It's our enemy's dish, but...
[07:09] Guy
Just once in my life...
I want to eat meat like that.
[07:13] Guy
You can't help but think that!
[07:17] Tsuka
There we go.
SIGN The White Armor Plate
[07:19] Tsuka
The White Armor Plate, Sauce Chevreuil.
SIGN Sauce Chevreuil
[07:25] Tsuka
Chevreuil... Meaning the main
ingredient of my dish is venison.
[07:30] Both
Venison?
[07:33] Megu
Tsukasa-senpai also used venison
when we stepped in as judges for
[07:37] Megu
that informal Shokugeki.
[07:38] Sec
Yukihira didn't stand a chance back then.
[07:43] Sec
And now, he's managed to create
an even better dish than that?
[07:46] Anne
I can't... I can't ruin this masterpiece.
[07:50] Anne
I just cannot!
[07:52] Courage
Ugh, Anne, you coward. Here, give it to me.
[08:00] Tsuka
Would you like a bite, Yukihira?
[08:03] Tsuka
You should compare it to the
last dish of mine that you ate.
[08:11] Soma
What the hell is this deliciousness?!
[08:13] Soma
It's not just my tongue...
[08:15] Soma
The flavor's so powerful that it
reverberates into the back of my nose.
[08:17] Soma
It's a punch that vibrates
all the way to my brain!
[08:20] Soma
This is far superior to the
venison dish I had before!
[08:24] Azami
That appetizer didn't simply lead
us to the finale of the course.
[08:29] Azami
It is a truly a paradise where every
chef has been freed from their suffering.
[08:33] Azami
The peaceful and beautiful
world that we long for...
[08:37] Azami
The Gourmet Eden!
[08:39] Niku
He's acting like he already won.
[08:41] Niku
Like Yukihira and Erina-sama
are gonna let that happen!
[08:43] Guy
Yeah, you tell 'em, Nikumi!
[08:47] Niku
What are you guys staring at?
SIGN Best in Japan
[08:52] Niku
What the hell?!
[08:54] Azami
Oh, dear. It appears as though my
version of the Gifting has slipped out.
[08:58] Both
The Gifting?!
[08:59] Azami
Because the dish was so delicious,
the Gifting pulse within me leaked out,
[09:04] Azami
which ended up disrobing those around me.
[09:07] Megu
The Gifting pulse...
[09:09] Ryoko
What is he even talking about?
[09:10] Buns
Meaning that some people around
him were forcibly disrobed?
[09:14] Haya
I guess that has happened before.
[09:16] Alice
When someone marries into the
Nakiri family and takes their name,
[09:19] Alice
they also inherit the Gifting ability.
SIGN The Gifting
[09:21] Alice
And because he married into
the family, of course,
SIGN Nakiri Azami
[09:24] [SONG] Sign
Inherited the Gifting
[09:24] Alice
Uncle Azami was given the Gifting ability.
[09:27] Haya
What the hell is up with the Nakiri family?
[09:29] Kuro
I guess stuff like that just happens.
[09:31] Haya
No, it doesn't.
[09:31] Isshi
My goodness. I can't say that
I approve of forcing young ladies
[09:35] Isshi
to undress in a public venue.
[09:37] Azami
I assure you that it's not on purpose.
[09:39] Azami
That's just how delicious this course was.
[09:42] Anne
The Nakiri family is famous for disrobing.
[09:45] Anne
The fact that the greater variant
of the Gifting has occurred
[09:48] Anne
is proof that this dish, as well as
the whole course, is the real deal.
SIGN First Seat
SIGN Second Seat
[09:53] Decora
Kobayashi Rindo put everything
into her dish to ensure that
[09:56] Decora
the main dish dazzled.
[09:58] Decora
And yet, Tsukasa Eishi was still
able to dazzle even more.
[10:01] Decora
I cannot think of anything greater than this.
[10:04] Anne
The two-course meal created by
the top two chefs at Totsuki
[10:09] Anne
is true gourmet.
[10:11] Azami
Now, then...
[10:12] Azami
The Elite Ten has produced the best
main dish anyone could ever ask for.
[10:16] Azami
Meanwhile, Erina, who will be cooking
the main dish for the other team,
[10:19] Azami
has forgotten my teachings and
is currently contaminated.
[10:23] Azami
She could not possibly create
true gourmet in that state.
[10:26] Azami
Meaning that your victory is inconceivable.
[10:29] Soma
Tsukasa-senpai...
[10:31] Soma
You didn't make this dish when
we faced off that one time.
[10:34] Soma
Does that mean you were taking it easy on me?
[10:37] Soma
That's a pretty harsh diss, Senpai.
[10:40] Tsukasa
Oh, I wouldn't say that I
was taking it easy on you.
[10:43] Tsukasa
I just figured I didn't need to
bother making this dish back then.
[10:47] Tsukasa
But the theme this time was true gourmet,
[10:50] Tsukasa
so of course I'd go with the best
recipe that I have... My specialty.
[10:55] Soma
All right, then...
[10:58] Soma
I guess I'm gonna have to give it all I've got.
[11:00] Soma
I couldn't make this back then,
a specialty that surpasses Tsukasa Eishi...
[11:05] Soma
But I guess I'm gonna have to
do that right here, right now.
[11:15] Sec
Did Yukihira just say he was
going to make his specialty?
[11:19] Ryoko
But Yukihira-kun's making
the appetizer, right?
[11:22] Buns
So, wait, a appetizer specialty?
[11:24] Guy
Uh, considering we're
talking about Yukihira...
[11:26] Guy
Don't tell me he'd even think about...
[11:28] Soma
This is my appetizer specialty.
Squid tentacles and peanut butter.
[11:34] Both
Squid tentacles and peanut butter?!
[11:35] Shun
Yeah, that's probably not it.
[11:37] Niku
Wait, Aldini! What the hell happened
during the strategy meeting last night?
[11:41] Glasses
Yeah! Don't those two have a plan?
SIGN Last Night
[11:45] (Flashback) Erina
Ugh! There's no end to this!
[11:47] (Flashback) Erina
Let's hold off on who's going
to do the main for a moment.
[11:50] (Flashback) Erina
We need to figure out what course
we're going to make tonight!
[11:53] (Flashback) Erina
Agreed?
[11:54] (Flashback) Soma
We just need an appetizer.
[11:56] (Flashback) Erina
Ugh! I'm going out for some fresh air!
[11:59] (Flashback) Megu
Nakiri-san!
[12:02] (Flashback) Isshi
You two really got into it.
[12:04] (Flashback) Soma
If we just can't decide,
[12:07] (Flashback) Soma
we'll have to settle it
with rock-paper-scissors.
[12:09] (Flashback) Taku
Please, no.
[12:10] (Flashback) Isshi
Then if you lose in rock-paper-scissors,
[12:12] (Flashback) Isshi
do you promise to concentrate
on the appetizer?
[12:15] (Flashback) Soma
Well, I guess that's an option...
[12:17] (Flashback) Taku
That's the only option.
Don't say that like you actually mean it.
[12:21] (Flashback) Soma
Oh, by the way, Isshiki-senpai,
[12:24] (Flashback) Soma
what does he mean, that Nakiri's the key?
[12:26] (Flashback) Azami
You are the key to leading
chefs down the proper path.
[12:31] (Flashback) Isshi
Oh...
[12:33] (Flashback) Isshi
Director Azami wants to take
advantage of her God Tongue.
[12:37] (Flashback) Issh
The God Tongue is able to determine the
best and worst qualities of a dish.
[12:41] (Flashback) Issh
And by having her determine that,
[12:42] (Flashback) Issh
she can free chefs from suffering
to figure that out for themselves.
[12:46] (Flashback) Issh
That's the idea behind Central.
[12:48] (Flashback) Issh
She basically holds the key
to the great revolution.
[12:52] (Flashback) Soma
Huh... Taking advantage of the God Tongue, eh?
[12:56] (Flashback) soma
That actually sounds sorta fun.
[13:00] Taku
Yukihira didn't say much back then,
[13:03] Taku
but does he actually have some kind of plan?
[13:05] Soma
Nakiri!
[13:08] Soma
Here's some chicken liver I just sautéed.
Could you give it a taste?
[13:11] Ryoko
Yukihira-kun?
[13:12] Glasses
What are you doing in the middle of cooking?
[13:14] Soma
In a Team Shokugeki, we're allowed to
get help from our teammates as we cook.
[13:18] Soma
Which means that we can ask
them to taste stuff, too.
[13:21] Soma
If they want to take advantage
of Nakiri as their key,
[13:24] Soma
I figured I'd take advantage of her, too.
[13:28] Buns
Look at that evil face!
[13:29] Guy
What are you thinking, Yukihira?
[13:31] Guy
Don't say you're gonna take
advantage of your own teammate!
[13:33] Sec
But that does actually make sense!
[13:36] Erina
No good. I like that you rubbed
it with homemade mayonnaise,
[13:41] Erina
but the flavor when it hits
the tongue is insufficient.
[13:43] Soma
Got it!
[13:45] Soma
How's this ratio?
[13:49] Erina
It works.
[13:50] Sec
He's basically tuning the flavor of
each step of the dish as he goes!
[13:55] Alice
At this rate,
[13:56] Alice
Yukihira-kun will be able to
reach heights no one else can.
[13:59] Alice
He'll be able to heighten
[14:01] Alice
the perfection of his flavor to
the highest theoretical value.
[14:04] Rindo
Not bad!
[14:06] Tsuka
Yeah. Then Yukihira might be able to
make an amazing appetizer after all.
[14:10] Taku
But preparing something just as he's told?
[14:13] Megu
Yeah, Soma-kun usually wouldn't
cooperate with that.
[14:16] Sec
No, Yukihira understands
Erina-sama's powers, too.
[14:20] Sec
This must mean he trusts her!
[14:22] Soma
Could you taste this spice mix for me?
[14:24] Soma
Could you check the balance of this sauce?
[14:26] Erina
He truly wants to accept my teachings?
[14:29] Erina
I'd love to praise him,
if that were actually the case.
[14:32] Erina
But...
[14:33] (Flashback) Erina
If you end up making the appetizer,
[14:35] (Flashback) Erina
why don't you make Pâté de Campagne?
[14:37] (Flashback) Soma
Oh, Pâté de Campagne... What's that again?
[14:42] (Flashback) Taku
In Japanese, it translates
to "country-style pâté."
[14:45] (Flashback) Megu
We made some in class before.
[14:47] (Flashback) Megu
The dish where we added
liver paste and vegetables
[14:50] (Flashback) Megu
to minced meat and grilled it up.
[14:51] (Flashback) Erina
The viscous texture and
depth whet the appetite.
[14:55] (Flashback) Erina
It's a very popular appetizer.
[14:57] (Flashback) Soma
So it's basically like corned beef.
[14:59] (Flashback) Erina
Not in the least!
[15:01] (Flashback) Erina
Anyway, the purpose of an appetizer is
[15:03] (Flashback) Erina
how well it can connect
to the main dish.
[15:05] (Flashback) Erina
Remember that at all costs.
[15:07] (Flashback) Erina
Now, I'll go over the recipe.
[15:10] Erina
The recipe I went over with him last night...
[15:13] Erina
Why is he adding changes here and there?
SIGN Heh heh heh
[15:19] Erina
Yukihira-kun! What in the
world are you doing?!
[15:26] Soma
All right, here you go.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[15:29] Niku
Huh?!
[15:30] Guys
Ho—
[15:33] All
Hold on a second!
[15:35] Soma
Dig in.
[15:37] Soma
Your delicious appetizer is here.
[15:42] Anne
Th...
[15:43] Decora
This is...
[15:44] Azami
This is what you call an appetizer?
[15:48] Buns
A caveman!
[15:49] Buns
That's like a hunk of meat
a cartoon caveman would eat!
[15:52] Glasses
Its shape aside, it definitely looks
like a main dish rather than an appetizer!
[15:56] Guy
Yukihira!
[15:57] Guy
What the hell are you doing?!
[15:58] Soma
What? I just did what Nakiri asked me to do
and made the appetizer, Pâté de Campagne.
[16:06] Megu
Soma-kun...
[16:07] Taku
Don't tell me he actually
[16:09] Taku
felt competitive after seeing the
specialty Tsukasa-senpai made,
SIGN Heh heh heh
[16:12] Taku
and completely lost control!
[16:15] Tsuka
Yukihira?
[16:16] Rindo
Yukihira Soma!
[16:18] Rindo
Listen here! Appetizers are...
[16:20] Eizan
Why are you butting in?
[16:22] Rindo
Excuse me?
[16:23] Eizan
I mean... Rindo-senpai...
[16:26] Decora
Anyway, let's give it a taste.
[16:29] Decora
It's true that having the pâté inside
[16:31] Decora
and wrapping it with thin slices
of beef makes it look like
[16:35] Decora
a hunk of meat still on the bone.
[16:41] Decora
The meat wrapped around the exterior
is marinated strips of beef.
[16:45] Decora
The richly fragrant yet slightly
fruity scent of the meat
[16:48] Decora
makes me feel like I'm going to lose my mind!
[16:51] Decora
And right underneath is a
layer of bacon slices.
[16:54] Decora
They're also holding the pâté in place.
[16:57] Decora
Just the first bite
[16:59] Decora
makes the impact from all the
protein reverberate through my body!
SIGN Yakiniku Sauce
Bold Soy Sauce Flavor
[17:02] Yukihira
And I used this yakiniku sauce
as the base of the marinade.
[17:06] Soma
Even store-bought yakiniku sauce
SIGN Takara
Yakiniku Sauce
Bold Soy Sauce Flavor
[17:08] Soma
has a great balance of garlic,
ginger, soy sauce, and mirin.
[17:14] ---
It's a solid base for a marinade.
[17:16] Soma
Then I added honey, grated onions,
and freshly squeezed orange juice,
[17:21] Soma
and had Nakiri taste it for me
[17:23] Soma
to adjust it to a flavor that'd
fit Pâté de Campagne.
[17:26] Anne
It's not just the outside! The pâté
is the most exquisite part of all!
[17:32] Anne
It's full-bodied, yet delicate.
[17:33] Anne
It matches perfectly with
the aromatic layer of meat,
[17:35] Anne
making each bite spark an explosion of flavor!
[17:39] Anne
He used a base of chicken liver and
added chicken breast and cream,
[17:42] Anne
as well as finely chopped green beans,
carrots, and shimeji mushrooms.
[17:46] Anne
But the work he did on those
individual vegetables is superb.
[17:49] Anne
Confit, grill, brasier, and suer.
[17:53] Anne
He brought out the best of each ingredient,
[17:55] Anne
emphasizing the natural sweetness and
heightening the level of the dish as a whole.
[18:02] Decora
What was that? The whole flavor
just changed suddenly.
[18:06] Decora
The outer wall of meat was already delicious,
[18:09] Decora
but now, it's like there's an
aromatic geyser bursting through!
[18:11] Courage
What is this rich aroma?
[18:13] Courage
My body is reacting even
though I haven't had a bite.
[18:16] Decora
Something is seeping out from
between the layers of meat.
[18:19] Soma
It's an extra-thick jellied
consommé that I boiled down!
[18:23] Soma
Right before serving the dish,
[18:25] Soma
I used a super-thick cooking injector
to inject plenty of it into the meat.
[18:29] Soma
It starts gushing out while you're
eating to change up the flavor!
[18:34] Haya
A bomb of flavor.
[18:35] Alice
What a molecular gastronomy thing to do.
[18:37] Kuro
Yukihira actually pulled it off.
[18:39] Anne
Amazing... I'm even more drawn to
this dish than I was a moment ago.
[18:46] Anne
The first bite was decadent enough,
[18:48] Anne
but each subsequent bite becomes more
exciting as you discover all the twists
[18:50] Anne
and treasures hidden within.
[18:52] Anne
I can't believe all this flavor
is packed into a single dish.
[18:55] Anne
I feel so satisfied.
[19:00] Decora
My clothes!
[19:01] Courage
Wait, why are my clothes gone?
[19:05] Guy
And there it is! The Gifting!
[19:07] Glasses
That means Nakiri Azami
also admits that it tastes good!
[19:11] Azami
The approach he took with the vegetables...
[19:13] Azami
It reminds me of the
Magician of Legumes, Shinomiya Kojiro.
[19:16] Azami
By bringing out the full
potential of each vegetable,
[19:20] Azami
the overall flavor of the dish is
deepened without losing any elegance.
[19:23] Megu
And the method of using different flavors at
[19:26] Megu
different times to draw people in...
[19:28] Taku
Yeah. It's like the dish Yukihira
presented at the Moon Festival.
[19:31] Soma
Exactly. This dish is the two new
Yukihira recipes I invented,
[19:37] Soma
fused into one.
[19:39] Soma
That's why I took advantage
of Nakiri's abilities.
[19:42] Soma
Just mashing the two recipes together
would've created a jumbled mess,
[19:45] Soma
so I had her help me combine
the best parts of both dishes.
[19:48] Soma
I call it...

SIGN True Yukihira Cooking
[19:56] Azami
Ordinarily, it'd be impossible to properly
balance all these complex components.
[20:03] Azami
But because of the guidance
from the God Tongue,
[20:06] Azami
the dish is elevated to a level
worthy of being called a specialty.
[20:10] Azami
It's almost on par with
Tsukasa's White Armor Plate.
[20:17] Azami
But that's only when I look
at this as an individual dish.
[20:21] Azami
Tsukasa Eishi's main dish
was boosted a few levels...
[20:25] Azami
All thanks to Kobayashi Rindo's appetizer.
[20:28] Azami
Meanwhile, you had the nerve to
present a main dish as an appetizer,
[20:33] Azami
which ruins the entire course.
SIGN Worst Move
[20:36] Azami
It's the worst move you could've made.
[20:39] Azami
No matter how close to a perfect
score your dish gets on its own,
[20:42] Azami
it gets a zero for this course meal.
[20:46] Eizan
Everyone knows that Yukihira can be rash,
but has he ever been so thoughtless?
[20:52] Eizan
Doesn't he have something
else up his sleeve?
[20:57] Erina
What do you think you're doing?
[20:59] Erina
Does teamwork simply not exist between us?
[21:02] Soma
Listen up, Nakiri.
[21:04] Soma
I want to win this Team Shokugeki,
no matter what!
[21:08] Erina
Then why would you...
[21:10] Soma
Your dish wouldn't have won.
[21:12] Soma
Tsukasa-senpai's dish that I tasted
earlier really packed a punch.
[21:17] Soma
I tried out a number of your
main dish options last night,
[21:21] Soma
and they all would've lost.
[21:22] Erina
H-How can you be so certain?
[21:24] Soma
Well, none of them were your specialty.
[21:28] Soma
In order to beat Senpai,
[21:30] Soma
we need to hit him with two specialties
filled with everything we've got.
[21:34] Soma
Our course has to be on that level.
[21:38] Soma
You can make something better
than my dish, right?
[21:40] Soma
Then prove it.

To think he's planning to complete
their course meal with a Shokugeki...

Come to think of it, does Erinacchi have
an ultimate dish to call her specialty?
[00:42] Ryoko
Well, she has the talent to make any
genre of cuisine into a pro's dish.

I'd heard that she challenged

But apparently, he hasn't

I can't believe it. Erina-sama...
[00:56] Erina

would come out of your mouth.
[01:00] Erina
I never expected a Shokugeki.
[01:01] Erina
I guess the word "teamwork"
doesn't exist in your dictionary.
[01:05] Soma
Of course not! Do you see
teamwork between us?

[01:46] Erina
I'm going to be changing

[03:41] Erina
Yukihira-kun, I taste-tested
for you in your last dish,
[03:44] Erina
so you should be an extra pair
of hands for me in return.
[03:47] Soma
Oh, fine.
[03:48] Erina
One haché lemon rind, then mélanger
the seasonings I ask you to.
[03:52] Erina
You have thirty seconds.
[03:54] Soma
Got it!
[03:55] Erina
As soon as the meat is finished heating, wrap
it in the croûte and put it under the broiler.

Erina is able to use her God Tongue

Well, Grandfather? I'm really
proud of this dish!
[04:17] (Flashback) Erina
You'll acknowledge that this
is my specialty, right?
[04:21] (Flashback) Gramps
Sadly, it appears that you
still have a ways to go.
[04:24] (Flashback) Erina
What?
[04:28] Gramps
In a way, every dish she
creates is a specialty,
[04:34] Gramps
yet at the same time, none of them are.
[04:38] Gramps
A specialty that surpasses
perfectly delicious...
[04:41] Gramps
That is the only dish that will
let us see Erina's true face.

tries to present a specialty or not,

A chicken-and-egg rice bowl.

What?!
[07:15] Guy
A chicken-and-egg rice bowl?!
[07:17] Sec
That's supposed to be a rice bowl?
[07:19] Guy
Wait, a rice bowl?
[07:20] Niku
The same Erina-sama who'd
treated rice bowls as
[07:24] Niku
lowly B-grade cuisine until now?
[07:26] Niku
She made a rice bowl?!
[07:27] Buns
You were the same way at first, Nikumicchi.
[07:29] Ryoko
But it is rather unbelievable.
[07:32] Haya
There's no rice course in French cuisine.
[07:36] Haya
Even with traditional Japanese courses,
it's served after the main course.
[07:40] Haya
Yet she's presenting it as her main dish...
[07:43] Haya
This is definitely a choice that's not
written in any cooking textbook anywhere.
[07:47] Azami
Honestly...
[07:49] Azami
I can't believe my own
daughter created a dish
[07:51] Azami
that's this far from the correct answer.
[07:53] Azami
It's absolutely deplorable.
[07:56] Azami
I can tell it deserves zero
points just by looking at it.
[07:58] Azami
I can't even bring myself to eat such a dish.
[08:01] Erina
Oh, my! But you're supposed
to judge cooking on its taste.
[08:04] Erina
How truly amazing that you can judge
a dish by merely looking at it, Father.
[08:08] Erina
But if those two chefs who embody
your personal ideal of what's correct
[08:14] Erina
say that my dish is delicious,
I'm sure you'll change your mind.
[08:19] Rindo
What's this? I think she's provoking us.
[08:22] Rindo
What do you think, Tsukasa?
Should we accept?
[08:26] Tsuka
There's no harm in tasting it. I was
curious about Yukihira's dish, too.
[08:32] Azami
Very well. Tsukasa, Kobayashi,
go ahead and try it.
[08:36] Erina
Oh, but this is a two-course meal,
so you'll have to start with the appetizer.
[08:42] Soma
Here you go!
[08:44] Soma
This is my specialty: Countdown
Caveman Meat, Cheeky Youngster Style!
[08:48] Soma
True Yukihira Cooking!
[08:49] Rind
This looks interesting.
[08:52] Rind
Don't mind if I do.
[09:01] Rind
I see... Well done, Yukihira.
[09:04] Rind
This is definitely good enough
to be called a specialty.
[09:07] Tsukasa
He's definitely evolved from before.
[09:11] Tsuka
That's amazing, Yukihira.
[09:13] Rindo
But does this dish really work as a course?
[09:18] Tsuka
Yeah, I can't help but feel that whatever
the next dish may be, it can't follow this.
[09:26] Rindo
All right, let's taste this
specialty of yours, Nakiri-chan!
[09:45] Tsuka
Eggs mix with the soft
chicken meat and juices,
[09:48] Tsuka
and it all melts in my mouth!
[09:51] Tsuka
The center of the meat is rare,
while the edges are broiled to a crisp.
[09:56] Tsuka
It was cooked in a perfect
way to take advantage
[09:58] Tsuka
of the luxurious jidori chicken's qualities.
[10:00] Rindo
The sauce is made from eggs,
cream, salt, and pepper,
[10:04] Rindo
heated to a thick creaminess
in a hot water bath.
[10:06] Rindo
The turmeric gives it its
vibrant yellow color,
[10:09] Rindo
helping create this rich and
creamy scrambled egg sauce.
[10:12] Tsuka
Floating on top are special,
fragrant rice crackers!
[10:16] Tsuka
Freshly steamed rice and
minced squid spread finely
[10:19] Tsuka
with some sesame oil,
then deep-fried to a crisp.
[10:21] Rindo
The thick sauce,
[10:23] Rindo
along with the crunchiness, plays amazingly
off of the juiciness of the chicken.
[10:27] Rindo
The chicken and egg sauce...
and then the crackers made from rice.
[10:30] Rindo
These three elements make it
a chicken-and-egg rice bowl!
[10:33] Rindo
And the piece of this dish
that's playing the biggest role
[10:36] Rindo
is the croûte wrapped
around the chicken breast.
[10:39] Megu
Croûte... That's a base of bread or pie dough
[10:44] Megu
seasoned with savory spices, right?
[10:46] Taku
It's a helpful addition that
can boost the aroma, texture,
[10:49] Taku
and presentation of a dish without
overpowering its distinctive flavors.
[10:55] Erina
Correct. That's where the biggest
secret of this dish lies.
[10:59] Erina
Since I abandoned my original plan,
[11:01] Erina
in order for this completely
new dish to work,
[11:04] Erina
I needed to add certain
ingredients to the croûte
[11:07] Erina
that I'd planned to wrap around the chicken.
[11:10] Erina
Those ingredients were
[11:13] Erina
minced squid legs and peanut butter.
[11:17] Girls
S-S-S-S-S-S...
[11:19] All
Squid legs and peanut butter?!
[11:21] Shun
Is she serious?
[11:23] Erina
Yes. It's the squid legs and peanut butter that
[11:26] Erina
connect the appetizer and the main dish.
It's a crucial piece of the puzzle.
[11:30] Erina
The peanut butter's mild richness
[11:32] Erina
adds subtle depth to the chicken,
making it an excellent secret seasoning.
[11:36] Erina
And the moderately salty
bitterness of the squid legs
[11:38] Erina
is extremely effective in tying
[11:40] Erina
the croûte's flavor together with the
meaty juiciness of the chicken.
[11:43] Erina
It's a horrid combination that Yukihira-kun
keeps trying to get us to eat,
[11:46] Erina
but when it's in my hands, I can turn
it into an elegant gourmet dish.
[11:48] Soma
[11:50] Erina
The jidori chicken breasts and
the squid and peanut butter croûte
[11:54] Erina
are the main part of the dish.
[11:56] Erina
I revised all of the sauces and garnishes
so that they would support them.
[11:59] Erina
So that after you ate Yukihira-kun's dish,
[12:02] Erina
the deliciousness of my own dish
would be elevated to the maximum.
[12:05] Taku
Just as Yukihira took
advantage of the God Tongue,
[12:08] Taku
Nakiri-san took advantage of
Yukihira's gross cooking.
[12:12] Megu
They basically took each other's strengths
[12:14] Megu
to bring out the best in both of the dishes.
[12:17] Buns
You're amazing, Erinacchi!
[12:19] Sec
This is what Erina-sama and
Yukihira created together?
[12:22] Niku
Two specialties working together!
[12:24] Alice
Creating the ultimate two-course meal!
[12:27] Soma
You jerk...
[12:29] Soma
First you steal my line, and now this?
[12:33] Erina
You're the one who started this fight.
[12:35] Erina
I won't hear any of your complaints.
[12:36] Soma
Oh, is that so?
[12:39] Issh
Nakiri-kun, you truly have changed.
[12:42] Issh
But I'm pretty sure Director
Azami isn't enjoying this.
[12:46] Issh
His precious daughter,
who he had locked up in a cage,
[12:52] Issh
is now cooking with a smile that
he's never witnessed before.
[13:00] Rindo
Yukihira's appetizer doesn't help the
main dish. It exists to help this surpass it.
[13:04] Rindo
And without a doubt, this dish
definitely surpasses the appetizer.
[13:08] Rindo
Despite how crazy their methods were,
[13:11] Rindo
they managed to pull off this
one-two punch amazingly!
[13:14] Tsuka
I feel like I'm at a concert!
[13:16] Tsuka
Different instruments
[13:17] Tsuka
and different voices are working
together at an extremely high level,
[13:20] Tsuka
and in one miraculous moment,
they come together perfectly
[13:23] Tsuka
and come blasting through the speakers!
[13:26] Tsuka
With one taste, the pressure from the sound...
[13:32] Both
...blasts you and drags you in without mercy!
[13:39] Sec
The dish managed to move
the first and second seats!
[13:42] Alice
Now Uncle Azami has no choice
but to acknowledge the dish.
[13:45] Azami
I see. It appears as though
you put some work into it.
[13:49] Azami
I'm sure that if Tsukasa and
Kobayashi have acknowledged the dish,
[13:52] Azami
it's somewhat delicious.
[13:55] Azami
But let me be up-front.
[13:58] Azami
No matter how you made this dish,
I have no intention of ever acknowledging it.
[14:04] Azami
Honestly... I never wanted to see my
daughter dragged down to this level.
[14:09] Azami
Preparing this dish so frantically
that she was out of breath.
[14:11] Azami
Not even a hint of elegance left...
[14:14] Azami
Erina, because of that thoughtless boy,
[14:18] Azami
you were forced to create this
impromptu dish against your will.
[14:21] Azami
If that continues, you're going
to suffer until it suffocates you.
[14:26] Azami
It's "passion" that's unnecessary to you.
[14:28] Azami
I can absolutely say that this dish
is leagues away from true gourmet.
[14:33] Azami
It is a pile of impure, contaminated slop!
[14:44] Erina
Unnecessary passion?
[14:47] Erina
I appreciate your concern.
[14:49] Erina
However, there's one more addition
to this dish that allows it to transform.
[14:57] Erina
Now, behold the true form of my specialty!
[15:06] Kuro
What the heck is that?
[15:08] Alice
Those glistening gold things are wrapping
themselves around the chicken breasts!
[15:13] Sec
That's the transforming rice seasoning!
[15:25] Haya
The rich aroma of the jidori chicken is rising!
[15:28] Decora
From the looks of it,
these are cubes of aspic...
[15:32] Decora
Amazing!
[15:34] Anne
The rich scent of the roasted jidori
chicken is tickling my nose.
[15:38] Azami
Very well.
[15:40] Azami
I will take a bite so that I can at
least scold my misguided daughter.
[15:47] Decora
The aspic cubes have perfectly melted,
[15:49] Decora
adding luxuriant layers to both the
flavor and the texture of the dish.
[15:54] Anne
The crispy rice crackers have soaked
up all of the jidori's umami,
[15:57] Anne
and the scrambled egg sauce
is even creamier than before!
[16:02] Anne
The perfect balance of this dish makes it godly!
[16:06] Decora
Tsukasa Eishi and Kobayashi Rindo
brought us to this Eden of gourmet...
[16:11] Anne
And just as we thought we had
comfortably settled down in that Eden,

And to make sure it remains free, I will
take on any pain that may come my way.

[16:58] (Flashback) Azami
Saiba-senpai!
[17:00] (Flashback) Saiba
Oh, hey, Nakamura.
[17:02] (Flashback) azami
Please don't tell me you were
up all night testing a recipe.
[17:06] (Flashback) azami
That's the dish that won a gold medal
at our last competition, isn't it?
[17:09] (Flashback) Saiba
Well, I got a great idea yesterday
that'll make this plate even better!
[17:15] (Flashback) Azami
But that dish is already perfectly correct.
[17:18] (Flashback) Azami
So why...
[17:19] (Flashback) Saiba
Because I get so excited at the
idea that there are still flavors
[17:22] (Flashback) Saiba
I don't know about that
I just can't hold myself back!
[17:26] Azami
After Senpai said that,
he continued to move forward,
[17:30] Azami
then he disappeared into the wasteland.
[17:32] Azami
I will never let that tragedy happen again!
[17:35] Azami
True gourmet...
[17:36] Azami
A world where chefs can
stay healthy and vibrant...
[17:40] Azami
No one will suffer there. Everyone will be saved.
[17:44] Azami
That is my grand revolution!
[17:47] Azami
Get rid of the pigs and trash chefs!
[17:50] Azami
If we waste time dealing with them,
it'll ruin true chefs someday!
[17:55] Azami
That's why I refuse to accept this!
[17:56] Azami
These dishes are impure!
[17:59] Azami
These dishes are full of pain and suffering...
and that makes them impure garbage!
[18:03] Buns
Huh? What?
[18:04] Ryoko
What's that sound?
[18:06] Alice
This sound...
[18:10] Guy
What the?!
[18:11] Girl
What's that sound?
[18:12] Guy
An explosion?
[18:17] Erina
It's disgusting!
[18:19] Erina
Well, Father? How does it taste?
[18:25] Ura
Oh, no! Why?!
[18:29] Nene
No!
[18:33] Buns
Wait, is this...
[18:34] Shun
Yup, there's no doubt about it.
[18:37] Niku
The Gifting?!
[18:39] Alice
It's the Gifting!
[18:40] Megu
No!
[18:46] Azami
It just keeps spreading through the entire crowd!
[18:48] Azami
It's much bigger than it was
for Tsukasa and Rindo's course!
[18:50] Kuga
It sounds like a beautiful song.
[18:53] Megi
Yes. The sound that Yukihira
and Nakiri created together...
[18:56] mima
...has turned into a melody that's
reverberating through the entire crowd.
[18:59] Azami
Impossible!
[19:00] Azami
Even though my mind rejects it, does my
body acknowledge that it's delicious?
[19:06] Azami
This shouldn't be happening!
This is some kind of mistake.
[19:09] Azami
If you destroy my grand revolution,
[19:11] Azami
the garden that protects chefs
[19:12] Azami
and the compass that
guides them will disappear.
[19:14] Azami
Then you will have to wander
the wastelands alone, Erina!
[19:20] Sec
No!
[19:21] Sec
I believe that we've gotten this far
[19:23] Sec
because we're all heading
toward our own distinct goals.
[19:27] Sec
There are others who continue
to move forward...
[19:31] Sec
That truth allows us to
take another step further.
[19:35] Erina
Hisako...
[19:36] Sec
Even if we're in the wastelands.
[19:38] Azami
You dare question the Director of Totsuki?
[19:41] Azami
You're nothing more than a lowly
servant to the Nakiri family!
[19:44] Sec
No... I'm...
[19:47] Sec
Right now, I'm...
[19:49] Sec
Erina-sama's friend!
[19:52] Erina
Hisako...
[19:56] Buns
Hisakocchi!
[19:59] Erina
Father, Hisako speaks the truth.
[20:02] Erina
All of the chefs with different
values and thoughts than my own...
[20:05] Erina
The chefs that face their cuisine head-on...
[20:07] Erina
It's because I interacted with them
that I was able to create this dish.
[20:11] Erina
My encounters with people
you call "contaminated"
[20:14] Erina
are the ultimate spice for my cooking.
[20:19] Azami
That's beyond foolish! It's this passion
that causes chefs to stray!
[20:24] Azami
To suffer!
[20:25] Azami
Eventually, it'll break you!
[20:27] Azami
Just like it did to him!
[20:28] Azami
True happiness for all chefs lies
[20:31] Azami
in living peacefully in the garden
that I've created for them!
[20:35] Soma
Could you not go deciding other
people's happiness for them?
[20:40] Soma
I didn't know about all the things that
happened to my dad until recently,
[20:44] Soma
but my dad was happy after meeting my mom.
[20:49] Soma
I know that for a fact.
[20:53] Azami
That doesn't—
[20:58] Azami
I can't stop the Gifting pulse!
[21:02] Courage
Not again!
[21:04] Azami
The Pulse energy will have nowhere else to go!
[21:16] Erina
Father...
[21:18] Erina
Everything that you rejected at this
academy allowed me to be reborn.
[21:23] Erina
I've become a completely different person...
A completely different chef.
[21:30] Ura
In the final bout of the Team Shokugeki,
[21:33] Ura
the winners are...
[21:34] Soma
All right, don't screw this up.
[21:37] Soma
As long as you're stealing everything
from me, go ahead and say my line, too.
[21:40] Erina
Wh-Why me?
[21:46] Soma
Well, you're the boss.
Who else is gonna wrap things up?

Go on, go!

How dare you make me completely change
directions while we were cooking?!
[00:30] Soma
Ow, ow, ow, ow...
[00:32] Erina
It's fine because we won,
[00:34] Erina
but how dare you not discuss any
of that with me beforehand?!
[00:38] Soma
Well, I mean, as long as
we had about ten minutes,
[00:40] Soma
I was sure you could pull it off.
[00:43] Erina

Did you come here to make

[03:18] Azami
Don't worry. I will keep my promise.
[03:21] Azami
I will let go of Totsuki Academy.
[03:24] Dad
Thanks, Nakamura.
[03:26] Dad
I guess you'd been worrying
about me ever since that day.
[03:32] (Flashback) Dad
Let's go as far as we can go.
[03:34] (Flashback) Dojima

years after leaving Totsuki.
[04:20] Dojima
Don't fall back into that.
[04:22] Dojima
Contact us at any time.
[04:25] Azami
I don't have the right to be saved anymore.
[04:27] Dojima
I wouldn't make it sound that heavy.
[04:30] Dojima
Let's just go have a drink sometime.
[04:33] Dad
Yeah. I'll even treat you to my
cooking, since it's been a while.
[04:37] Azami
I do have to admit... that's
a rather tempting invitation.
[04:42] Azami
Please tell Senzaemon-dono
that I look forward to
[04:45] Azami
the further development of the
Generation of Prodigies that he has gathered.
[04:51] Azami
Everything that I've done, at its core,
just like Senzaemon-dono,
[04:56] Azami
is all for her.
[05:04] Ura
The rebels have won and Central has...
lost! God damn it!
[05:11] Momo
Whoops, looks like the effects
of the damask rose wore off.
[05:13] Eizan
Really? Now?
[05:14] Ura
But there's no arguing with the results!
Go ahead and take your win, damn it!
[05:18] Ura
All ten seats of the Elite Ten
belong to the rebels now!
[05:21] Somei
Hang on a second. Before that...
[05:24] Momo
What are you doing?! Give Bucchi back, So-myan!
[05:27] Somei
We have to give back the student IDs
we were holding on to.
[05:30] Ryoko
Oh, right. We get our student IDs back!
[05:33] Niku
Which means...
[05:35] Glasses
...we're no longer expelled!
[05:36] Buns
Hooray!
[05:38] Momo
You meanie... How could you
open up Bucchi's back like that?
[05:43] Somei

and ripping off its limbs.

Mine's expanded...
[05:55] Eizan
Well, Momo-senpai's always hitting that
thing and sticking it in bathwater, too.
[05:59] Momo
Not "that thing." It's Bucchi.
[06:02] Eizan
Right, Bucchi-san.
[06:05] Momo
It's not my fault. It's So-myan's
fault for putting them in Bucchi.
[06:09] Momo
You can just have them reissued, anyway.
[06:13] Tsuka
Well, I guess we're not needed anymore.
[06:16] Tsuka
Let's leave the rest to Yukihira's crew.
[06:18] Rindo
Yeah.
[06:19] Rindo
We're counting on you, Yukihira!
As well as Nakiri-chan and the rest of you.
[06:23] Soma
Ah, Tsukasa-senpai. We still
haven't had a real Shokugeki yet.
[06:28] Soma
Let's have one soon!
[06:30] Tsuka
Sure. We can do it anytime.
[06:32] Tsuka
Though I'm pretty sure I won't lose next time.
[06:35] Soma
I'll look forward to it.
[06:37] Kuga
Don't forget about me, either!
[06:39] Megi
Well, Kobayashi? How do you feel right now?
[06:43] Rindo
Huh? Well...
[06:48] Rindo
I think this might be
[06:51] Rindo
the most excited I've ever been!
[06:55] Rindo
Let's go, Tsukasa!
[06:56] Tsuka
Huh? Where?
[06:58] Rindo
To Africa, the South Pole,
to outer space... Wherever!
[07:01] Rindo
I'll go anywhere we can encounter
even more delicious foods!
[07:06] Tsuka
Sure. Now that I don't have to do

[07:11] Rindo
Well, see ya, Yukihira Soma!
[07:14] Soma
Yeah.
[07:16] Isshi
Kinokuni...
[07:17] Isshi
Let's see each other again at school,
[07:19] Isshi
so we can both enjoy cooking.
[07:21] Nene
It's not like you have to say that.
We'll see each other anyway.
[07:25] Nene
More importantly, why are you still
the only one wearing just a loincloth?
[07:29] Nene
You idiot.
[07:31] Gramps
Now, we will abide by the
rules that were set forth.
[07:34] Gramps
The eight rebels that participated
in this Team Shokugeki
[07:37] Gramps
now have priority for the Elite Ten seats.
[07:40] Erina
That's right. We're going to be...
[07:43] Soma
...the new Elite Ten.
[07:44] Buns
That means you're in the Elite Ten, too, Megumi!
[07:47] Megu
Huh?! Oh, right.
[07:48] Megu
I can hardly believe it! Me? In the Elite Ten?
[07:52] Ryoko
You did it!
[07:53] Niku
Hell yeah, Aldini! You're in the Elite Ten!
[07:56] Isa
Big Bro! Yay!
[07:58] Glasses
I wonder who's going to place where.
[08:00] Glasses
Especially the first seat...
[08:02] Sec
I'm positive Erina will take that spot!
[08:05] Shun
Considering the amazing main dish
she made in the final battle...
[08:09] Erina
Since you had me running around,
I at least deserve to say this.
[08:14] Soma
Huh?
[08:15] Erina
Yukihira-kun, you're going
to take the first seat.
[08:18] Soma
Huh?!
[08:19] Alice
Huh?
[08:20] Sec
Erina-sama?!
[08:21] Erina
You're at least somewhat responsible for the
fact that I was able to create that dish.
[08:25] Erina
You're also the one who accomplished
the most in this Team Shokugeki.
[08:29] Erina
So you're the best suited for
the first seat, Yukihira-kun.
[08:33] Kuga
Sounds good to me.
[08:35] Kuga
It's true that if Yukihira-chin wasn't here,
we wouldn't have gotten this far.
[08:39] Isshi
You have my vote, of course.
[08:41] Megi
Yeah, same here.
[08:43] Megu
Huh? Soma-kun?
[08:45] Soma
Grr...
[08:46] Senza
I know this is sudden,
[08:48] Senza
but there's something important that
the Elite Ten must decide immediately.
SIGN Totsuki
[08:52] Gramps
Who is going to be the next director?
[08:54] Soma
Huh?
[08:55] Erina
But that title should be yours, Grandfather.
[08:58] Gramps
That title was stolen from me once.
[09:02] Gramps
I have no right to reclaim it.
[09:04] Gramps
I'm going to retire.
[09:07] Gramps
To be honest, I'm rather enjoying the fact
that I've been relieved of my position.
[09:12] Erina
Grandfather...
[09:13] Gramps
Now, then... Who is the most
suited for the position?
[09:16] Gramps
That is my question to you,
First Seat of the Elite Ten.
[09:19] Soma
Well, who else is there?
[09:21] Soma
It's gotta be her.
[09:24] Erina
What?!

[09:25] Soma
Well, the director's been someone from
the Nakiri family for generations, right?
[09:28] Soma
So it's perfect!
SIGN Director
[09:30] Soma
You're all responsible and stuff,
so you'll probably do great.
[09:33] Soma
But above all,
[09:34] Soma
you were able to surpass the best
specialty that I could come up with.
[09:38] Soma
I hate to admit it, but you're
still better than me.
[09:41] Soma
Which means that if you
don't become the director,
[09:43] Soma
I can't accept the first seat.
[09:45] Erina
Hang on a second! That doesn't mean
I should be the academy's director!
[09:49] Erina
Perhaps we can have
Uncle Soue take the position.
[09:52] Brows
No, I agree with the First Seat.

[10:05] Soue
My cute little Alice! I was late
because of work, but I finally made it!
[10:11] Soue
Hello there, Yukihira Soma.
[10:13] Soma
Heya!
[10:14] Erina
Huh? What?
[10:15] Soue
As both you and Father have already said,
[10:17] Soue
I believe Erina-chan would be a perfect new
director, since she has a brand-new vision.
[10:23] Gramps
Erina, I'd like to put Totsuki's
future in your hands.
[10:30] Soma
Well, in that case, I guess
I'll accept the first seat, too.
[10:36] Soma
But I won't feel like I've taken
the top until I've defeated you.
[10:41] Soma
I'll make you say that my cooking is delicious.
[10:43] Soma
You better wait until then, damn it!

Well, you two did your absolute best.

Don't be surprised if I challenge
you to a Shokugeki tomorrow!

student's now the first seat?

and kept antagonizing the rebels.
[11:20] Guy
There's no way we'll be allowed
to stay at the academy.
[11:23] Soma
Huh? The hell are you talking about?
[11:25] Soma
I'm not letting any of you be expelled.
[11:27] Soma
Just so you know,
[11:28] Soma
anyone can challenge me to a Shokugeki
for my position as first seat.
[11:35] Soma
It's not like I defeated either Tsukasa-senpai
[11:37] Soma
or Rindo-senpai in a Shokugeki one-on-one.
[11:40] Soma
Which just means I'm a provisional first seat.
[11:43] Soma
That's why you don't need
anything to challenge me.
[11:46] Soma
Anyone's allowed to challenge
me for the first seat.
[11:49] Soma
You're all gonna continue helping me improve!

[13:25] Guy
C'est si bon! This will definitely
take Paris by storm!
[13:29] Megi
Thanks for waiting!
[13:32] Rindo
All right!
[13:34] Rindo
It went your way, Tsukasa!
[13:36] Tsuka
Leave it to me, Rindo!
[13:39] Tsuka
I'm wiped.
[13:41] Rindo
You're one hell of a chef, but you've
got a ways to go with everything else.
[13:46] Rindo
I'll make sure to whip you
into shape on our journey!
[13:50] Tsuka
Don't get too rough with me.
[13:52] Rindo
Hey, a swallow!
[13:54] Tsuka
Wait, that's a swallow?
[13:56] Rindo
Say, Tsukasa...
[13:57] Rindo
You think our juniors are doing well?
[14:02] Tsuka
Yeah.
[14:03] Tsuka
I'm pretty sure they're doing fine.
[14:07] Rindo
Yeah.
[14:08] Both
I'm sure they are.
[14:10] Megu
Yep! Everyone else around here managed
to move on to the next grade!
[14:16] Yuki
Hurry, hurry!
[14:18] Yuki
Our next class is about to start, Ryoko!
SIGN Sakaki Ryoko
SIGN Yoshino Yuki
[14:21] Ryoko
Jeez! Wait up, Yuki!
[14:24] Yuki
Oh, hey, Nikumicchi!
[14:26] Niku
Hey.
SIGN Business Administration Theory
[14:26] Ryoko
Oh, so you decided to take
business administration theory?
[14:29] Yuki
Wow, seems complicated.
[14:31] Niku
I figured I should learn the
business as well as cooking.
SIGN Mito Ikumi
[14:35] Both
Hey.
[14:37] Guy
Where are you going, Ibusaki?
[14:39] Guy
You've got the same class as us, don't you?
SIGN Ibusaki Shun
[14:41] Shun
I'm skipping. I got challenged to a Shokugeki.
SIGN Saito Shoji
SIGN Aoki Daigo
[14:45] Guy
Aren't you on a five-win streak right now?
[14:46] Guy
That's awesome!
[14:48] Guy
Um, Ibusaki-senpai...
Please do a Shokugeki with me!
[14:52] Shun
Sure.
[14:53] Guys
Again?!
[14:54] Glasses
The Polar Star Dormitory sure is peaceful.
[14:57] Guy
Who the heck are you? A new character?
[14:58] Guy
Talk about a lame new character.
[15:00] Glasses
Guess I'll give up on the contacts.
SIGN Marui Zenji
[15:03] Guys
You're Marui?!
[15:04] Buns
Hey, guys!
[15:06] Buns
Let's give it our all again today!
SIGN Polar Star
[15:09] All
Polar Star...
[15:10] All
Yeah!
[15:13] Niku
Yeah... Wait, I'm not in the
Polar Star Dormitory.
[15:16] Buns
Oh, it's fine. You're basically
an honorary member.
SIGN Shokugeki
SIGN Kuga Terunori
SIGN Hayama Akira
[15:20] Kuga

a ways to go, Hayama-kun!

SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Third Seat
Kuga Terunori
[15:26] Kuga
Holy crap, that was close!
He's super strong!
[15:29] Kuga
Seriously, what's up with
Yukihira-chin's generation?
[15:32] Kuro
Hayama!
[15:33] Kuro
Do a Shokugeki with me, too, you bastard!
[15:37] Haya
Sure, but we just did one yesterday...
[15:39] Kuro
Don't act like you're totally better than me!
[15:42] Kuro
I've got 16 wins to 17 losses! We still
don't know how it's gonna turn out!
[15:46] Haya
I know.
[15:47] Kuro
I just said we don't know yet!
[15:49] Haya
Listen to me, damn it.
[15:51] Alice
There you are, Ryo-kun!
[15:53] Alice
Now, come do a Shokugeki with me!
[15:56] Alice
I've got 19 wins, 20 losses,
and 1 tie with you!
[15:59] Alice
We're basically even!
[16:01] Kuro
I just battled you two days ago, miss.
[16:04] Kuro
I'm battling Hayama toda—
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Sixth Seat
Nakiri Alice
[16:05] Alice
Nope! I'm going to steal your seat first!
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Fifth Seat
Kurokiba Ryo
[16:09] Kuro
They why don't all three of us Shokugeki?
[16:12] Haya
Good grief...
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Fourth Seat
Hayama Akira
[16:13] Haya
I'll take you guys on whenever.
[16:16] Girl
Hayama-senpai! Can I come to
the Shiomi Research Group?
[16:19] Haya
Sure. I'll do a lecture as soon
as I'm done with this Shokugeki.
[16:22] Girl
You've got this, Kurokiba-senpai!
[16:25] Kuro
Shut up, damn it!
[16:26] Girl
You're so wonderful, Alice-senpai!
[16:28] Alice
Heh.
[16:30] Megu
Soma-kun's declaration about
accepting Shokugekis from anyone
[16:33] Megu
has completely changed Totsuki Academy.
[16:36] Megu
A world where anyone can
challenge anyone else...
[16:40] Megu
That's how Totsuki ended
up with our generation.
SIGN Kinokuni Nene vs Isshiki Satoshi
[16:45] Isshiki
Wow, that was really close.
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Second Seat
Isshiki Satoshi
[16:47] Isshiki
You almost had me, Kinokuni.
[16:49] Nene
Whatever. You weren't fazed at all.
[16:52] Guy
Kinokuni-senpai!
[16:54] Guy
You're super cute when you're depressed, too!
[16:56] Guy
You're so cute!
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Ninth Seat
Kinokuni Nene
[16:58] Nene
Die.
[16:59] Guy
She gave us our gift!
[17:02] Nene
We're doing this one more time, Isshiki!
[17:07] Eizan
I was wondering who was
training so hard in here.
[17:11] Eizan
Guess it was you after all, Mimasaka.
[17:13] Eizan
You could've easily gotten into the
Elite Ten, but you stubbornly declined.
[17:19] Suba
I'm not there just yet.
[17:22] Suba
But eventually, I'll come for your position...
[17:26] Suba
When I can finally make my own
dish without relying on my tracing.
SIGN Mimasaka Subaru
[17:33] Eizan
I'll never understand you.
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Eighth Seat
Eizan Etsuya
[17:35] Eizan
I can't tell if you're actually talented or not.
SIGN Venue D
[17:39] Ura
Amazing!
SIGN Totsuki Academy 86th Class Graduates
a.k.a. The "Toro Sushi" Brothers
[17:39] Ura
The Japanese cuisine duo who
got two stars from the WGO
[17:46] Ura
have been defeated by the Aldini Brothers!
[17:49] Ura
Their perfect combo plays as brothers
[17:51] Ura
are leaving them undefeated
against other duos!
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Seventh Seat
Takumi Aldini
[17:54] Taku
Are you going to be okay getting that
skinny when it's not even summer?
SIGN Isami Aldini
[17:58] Isa
Well, every day has been pretty grueling,
but I'm in top form, Big Bro.
[18:03] Both
Grazie!
[18:05] Both
Now, bring out the next challengers!
[18:08] Erina
The Aldini Brothers have grown so much.
[18:12] Erina
I'll continue to allow
Shokugekis against alumni.
[18:16] Erina
I assume there are no objections?
[18:17] Guys
Indeed.
[18:18] Erina
All right, dismissed.
[18:21] Guy
Erina-sama has gained the
elegance of a true leader.
[18:25] Guy
Yes. I have no complaints
about her being the heir.
[18:29] Megu
After Nakiri-san became the new director,
[18:31] Megu
she started using her charisma
to keep the academy in line.
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Director
Nakiri Erina
[18:35] Sec
Here's the document for today's tasting.
SIGN Arato Hisako
[18:39] Sec
Please have a look.
[18:40] Erina
Thank you, Hisako.
[18:42] Megu
And as usual, Arato-san
[18:44] Megu
is doing everything she can to support
the ever-so-busy Nakiri-san.
[18:47] Megu
But apparently, they've also changed a little.
[18:52] Erina
Um... Hisako.
[18:54] Hisa
Yes, Erina-sama?
[18:57] Erina
About what you said at the Team Shokugeki...
[19:01] (Flashback) Sec
Right now, I'm...
[19:03] (Flashback) Sec
Erina-sama's friend!
[19:06] Hisa
P-P-P-P-P-P-P-Please forget I said that!
[19:09] Sec
I can't believe I was audacious
enough to say that we're friends!
[19:12] Erina
You weren't audacious at all!
[19:15] Erina
How about it? Perhaps you can call me
[19:17] Erina
"Erinacchi," like everyone else does?
SIGN Erinacchi
[19:20] Hisa
What?! I could never! I—
[19:23] Erina
Then how about "Erina-chan"?
[19:25] Erina
I mean, we're friends, after all.
[19:27] Hisa
Eh? E... E... E...
SIGN E
[19:31] Hisa
E...
[19:33] Hisa
Erina-chan...
[19:37] Hisa
I should probably just keep
calling you "Erina-sama"...
[19:40] Erina
Y-Yes. This was a bit embarrassing...
[19:43] Megu
They seem as close as ever.
[19:47] Megu
And as for me, Tadokoro Megumi...
[20:02] Megu
Merci!
[20:05] Megu
I left on a journey
after the Team Shokugeki
[20:07] Megu
and trained in many countries.
[20:14] Megu
I studied the various tastes
found in various homelands
[20:18] Megu
in order to incorporate
them into my own dishes.
SIGN Sweets
Chadokoro
[20:21] Megu
There was one time
[20:22] Megu
when that experience helped
us after I'd gotten home.
SIGN Otonari Inn
[20:27] Soma
Chef, I'm gonna go set the table!
[20:30] Chef
I appreciate it, Yukihira-kun!
[20:32] Megu
Soma-kun?
[20:40] Megu
We ended up battling a
mysterious chef at an inn
SIGN Mysterious Chef
[20:43] Megu
because he was dissatisfied
with the hospitality there.
[20:47] Megu
I made this with all my heart.
[20:50] Megu
Please enjoy.
[20:53] Guy
But that's...
[20:54] Both
...a kid's lunch!
[21:01] Megu
This is gumbo, a dish from the
southern region of North America.
[21:05] Megu
The accent you have and the
way you end your sentences
[21:07] Megu
were very specific to that region,
[21:10] Megu
so I figured you'd eaten gumbo as a child.
[21:15] Megu
So this is...
[21:17] Megu
a mom's cooking!
[21:21] Megu
You can't be picky forever. Bad boy!
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
Tenth Seat
Tadokoro Megumi
SIGN Bad
[21:25] Soma
Ugh, there's so much paperwork...
[21:29] Soma
But man, Tadokoro, you were really the
image of "HoSpiTaliTy" back there.
SIGN Totsuki Elite Ten
First Seat
Yukihira Soma
[21:35] Megu
That's all because I got to
[21:36] Megu
visit a lot of countries as
a member of the Elite Ten.
[21:39] Soma
I know! Wanna Shokugeki with me sometime?
[21:41] Soma
For the first seat!
[21:44] Megu
A Sh-Sh-Sh-Shokugeki with you, Soma-kun?!
[21:46] Erina
Honestly... You're always trying
to force someone into a Shokugeki.
[21:51] Soma
Huh?
[21:52] Soma
Well, I mean, I did say I'd do one with anyone.
[21:55] Erina
That's perfectly fine,
but I wish you had a bit more
[21:58] Erina
consideration for me, the one who has
to coordinate the venue for these.
[22:01] Soma
Oh, like that even matters.
[22:03] Erina
Of course it matters!
[22:05] Erina
You know, that's actually supposed to
be your job as part of the Elite Ten!
[22:08] Erina
It's not my job as the director!
[22:10] Soma
Then how about this?
[22:12] Soma
If you want me to work,
challenge me to a Shoku—
[22:15] Erina
I will not!
[22:16] Bg
Rawr, rawr, rawr, rawr...
[22:16] Megu
There's quite a bit going on,
[22:18] Megu
but we're all
[22:20] Megu
enjoying our school life to the fullest.
[22:23] Erina
Ugh!
[22:23] Erina
I have other work to do as director,
so figure out the rest yourself!
[22:28] Soma
Fine.
[22:29] Megu
Nakiri-san sure seems to have it rough.
[22:31] Megu
She seems even busier as a second-year.
[22:35] Soma
Yeah. But unlike when we were first-year brats,
[22:39] Soma
she looks much happier now.
[22:44] Megu
Yeah!
[22:45] Soma
All right! Let's battle it out
with some more Shokugekis today!
[22:53] Erina
Honestly...
[23:15] Hisa
Please come in.
SIGN Totsuki
SIGN Food Wars
SIGN The Fourth Plate
[23:34] [SONG] Sign
Glad You Liked It!
[23:35] Soma
Let's battle it out again!

Bad boy!
[23:39] Erina
Honestly...
