**[00:36] Niku**
It's summer!
**[00:38] Buns**
It's the beach!
**[00:39] All**
We're enjoying our youth!
**[00:44] Erina**
All right, gather round.
**[00:46] Erina**
We will now begin our first term finals.
**[00:49] Buns**
What?!
**[00:51] Erina**
For the finals, the second-years
have been divided up
**[00:54] Erina**
between the ocean, mountain,
and river courses.
**[00:58] Erina**
All of you will be taking your
exams on the ocean course.
**[01:01] Erina**
I will be overseeing all three courses,
**[01:06] Erina**
so I've asked the instructors
to audit each course.
**[01:09] Erina**
Instructor Suzuki, if you would.
**[01:12] Soma**
Suzuki?
**[01:14] Niku**
Oh, he's the new teacher who started
at our school this spring.
**[01:18] Asahi**
Hey, everyone.
**[01:19] Asahi**
I'm Instructor Suzuki.
**[01:21] Asahi**
I usually teach the first-years,
so this is my first time meeting all of you.
**[01:26] Asahi**
Nice to meet you.
**[01:27] Girl**
Wait, he's totally hot!
**[01:29] Girl**
Not to mention young!
**[01:30] Soma**
Huh...
**[01:32] Buns**
I hear he's super popular
with the first-years.
**[01:35] Buns**
They say he's a great cook and his
lessons are easy to understand.
**[01:38] Soma**
Huh...
**[01:48] Asahi**
Now, the thing we're going to have
you kids on the ocean course do
**[01:51] Asahi**
is run the restaurants at
these beach clubhouses.
**[01:54] Asahi**
We've rented out the restaurants
along this beach.
**[01:57] Asahi**
Starting today, for three days,
you'll split up into groups of ten
**[02:01] Asahi**
and run some restaurants.
**[02:03] Ryoko**
Restaurants? Excuse me, but what about
getting ingredients and prep time?
**[02:08] Asahi**
That's also included in those three days.
**[02:11] Asahi**
If you spend too much time on that,
**[02:13] Asahi**
you'll have less time to interact
with your customers, so be careful.
**[02:17] Glasses**
That includes prep time?
**[02:19] Shun**
That's pretty rough.
**[02:20] Asahi**
If you're unable to
accomplish this, you will fail.
**[02:22] Asahi**
In order to pass this exam,
by 7:00 PM the day after tomorrow...
**[02:26] Asahi**
you must earn a profit of three million yen.
**[02:29] Guy**
What?
**[02:30] Guy**
That's impossible!
**[02:30] Girl**
No way!
**[02:31] Girl**
What're we going to do?
**[02:32] Guy**
This isn't good!
**[02:33] Erina**
Silence.
**[02:36] Erina**
We've been allowed to rent these spaces.
**[02:38] Erina**
Of course we can't let their profits slide!
**[02:40] Erina**
We will bring shame upon Totsuki
if we don't return a profit to them.
**[02:44] Buns**
Yeah, but... Erinacchi!
**[02:49] Soma**
Come on, now. We're just gonna have to do this.
**[02:52] Soma**
Let's go ahead and get them that three million.
**[02:55] Taku**
Indeed.
***SIGN*** New Totsuki Elite Ten
***SIGN*** Tenth Seat
***SIGN*** Fourth Seat
**[02:58] Jun**
It doesn't matter if we're on the beach.
We can figure out the prep.
**[03:01] Megu**
Dealing with all the customers might be rough.
**[03:04] Ryo**
That won't be an issue.
***SIGN*** Sixth Seat
***SIGN*** Fifth Seat
**[03:05] Ryo**
No matter how many customers
we get, I'll cut them down.
**[03:08] Alice**
If we hit our quota, can we play on the beach?
***SIGN*** Seventh Seat
***SIGN*** First Seat
**[03:12] Ryoko**
I'm sure glad we have the Elite Ten with us.
**[03:14] Buns**
Well, yeah, this might be easy
for the Elite Ten, but...
**[03:18] Erina**
We've taken that into consideration, too.
**[03:21] Erina**
The Elite Ten will be their own team of six.
**[03:24] Megu**
We get four less people than the other teams?
**[03:26] Erina**
And the beach house you'll be using...
**[03:29] Erina**
is that one.
**[03:32] Soma**
It's freakin' deserted.
***SIGN*** Food Wars
***SIGN*** The Second Plate
***SIGN*** The Third Plate
***SIGN*** The Fourth Plate
***SIGN*** The Fifth Plate
**[05:06] Guy**
I need grilled squid!
***SIGN*** Final Exams
**[05:07] Guy**
I need two franks!
**[05:09] Niku**
C-Comin' right up!
***SIGN*** Polar Star
**[05:12] Buns**
Ryoko!
**[05:13] Buns**
I need five curries! Stat!
**[05:15] Ryoko**
What? But I just put those up.
**[05:17] Buns**
That was for table #3!
**[05:19] Buns**
This is for table #7!
**[05:22] Glasses**
Good. Our plan to start operations early
to draw in more of a crowd is working.
**[05:27] Shun**
Yeah. We're only serving the classics,
but we can be confident in our flavor.
**[05:34] Niku**
I wonder how Yukihira and the other
members of the Elite Ten are doing.
**[05:38] Megu**
We'll need to fix up this shop if
we're going to get any customers.
**[05:42] Akira**
Forget today and tomorrow.
**[05:44] Akira**
We'll have to make our
profit on the last day.
**[05:46] Taku**
We should split up
**[05:47] Taku**
into an ingredient-gathering
team and a clean-up team.
**[05:51] Ryo**
Comin' through with this crappy wood!
**[05:54] Alice**
You can do it!
**[05:55] Alice**
I'm rooting for you from
the bottom of my heart!
**[06:02] Asahi**
Ah, working hard?
**[06:05] Soma**
Oh, Suzuki-sensei...
**[06:08] Asahi**
One ramune, please.
**[06:09] Soma**
We're not open yet.
**[06:10] Asahi**
Well, don't you look all gloomy?
**[06:12] Asahi**
You're Yukihira Soma, right?
The First Seat of the Elite Ten.
**[06:17] Soma**
Yeah...
**[06:18] Asahi**
It's nice to officially meet you.
I'm Instructor Suzuki.
**[06:21] Soma**
Hey...
**[06:22] Asahi**
Well, aren't you handsome?
**[06:24] Asahi**
I like your eyes.
**[06:25] Soma**
Huh?
**[06:26] Megu**
Huh?!
**[06:33] Asahi**
Anyway, do your best out there.
**[06:35] Asahi**
We can't have the Elite Ten
failing at this stage.
**[06:42] Megu**
Soma-kun, what was all that about?
**[06:45] Soma**
Yeah, I'm not really sure myself.
**[06:48] Soma**
I'm not sure why, but I don't think
it's the first time I've met him.
**[06:52] Megu**
Huh?
**[06:53] Ryo**
Yukihira!
**[06:55] Ryo**
Get back to hauling this shit out!
**[06:57] Soma**
Yeah, my bad.
***SIGN*** Mountain Course
**[07:01] Hisa**
Erina-sama!
***SIGN*** Totsuki
**[07:03] Hisa**
Excellent work overseeing all of the courses.
**[07:06] Erina**
Hisako. How are things going?
**[07:08] Hisa**
Well, this is a venue for a rock festival,
**[07:11] Hisa**
so people are here for a concert.
***SIGN*** Kebabs
**[07:13] Hisa**
Everyone's engaging in cutthroat competition
to see how they can appeal to customers
***SIGN*** Heheheheheheheheheheheheheheh
***SIGN*** Kusaya
**[07:17] Hisa**
and earn their profits
under those circumstances.
**[07:19] Hisa**
But I'm going to pass this exam.
**[07:22] Erina**
Yes. I'm expecting great
things from you, Hisako.
***SIGN*** Second Day, River Course
***SIGN*** 56th Fireworks Festival
***SIGN*** Baby Castella
**[07:29] Erina**
The river course involves running food
stalls at a resort along the river.
**[07:34] Erina**
Here, the key will be how many
families they can draw in.
***SIGN*** Ryoe Keiryu Line Ends Here
**[07:37] Erina**
It looks like they're all doing rather well.
**[07:40] Erina**
The one I'm most worried about is...
***SIGN*** Ocean Course
**[07:45] Ryoko**
We're still pretty busy,
**[07:47] Ryoko**
but not as busy as yesterday.
**[07:49] Glasses**
Looks like we lost some customers
to some of the other shops
**[07:52] Glasses**
that kicked into high gear today.
**[07:54] Glasses**
And some of the shops
have pretty unique menus.
**[07:56] Shun**
I guess just making the classics
came back to haunt us.
**[08:00] Shun**
We need to think of something.
**[08:02] Buns**
I wonder what the other shops are doing.
***SIGN*** Polar Star
**[08:05] Meat**
Guess we can check out the
other places during our break.
**[08:08] Girl**
Isn't 4,000 yen expensive?
**[08:10] Guy**
No, it's cheap.
**[08:10] Girl**
We came all the way to the ocean!
**[08:11] Girl**
I want some.
**[08:14] Niku**
That place seems to be getting
a lot of customers...
***SIGN*** 3 Days Only
Limited Edition Menu
4,000 yen
**[08:17] Niku**
A limited edition menu for 4,000 yen?!
**[08:19] Niku**
Wait. What the hell are they selling?
**[08:24] Soma**
Oh, hey, Nikumi!
**[08:25] Niku**
Yukihira!
**[08:26] Soma**
The sun's gonna be brutal today, so make
sure you get some rest in the shade.
**[08:30] Soma**
I know you might wanna play on
the beach, but don't give in.
**[08:32] Niku**
Like you need to worry about that!
**[08:34] Niku**
More importantly, how's the Elite Ten doing?
**[08:37] Soma**
Oh, you wanna come take a look?
**[08:40] Haya**
Hey! Damn it, Nakiri!
**[08:42] Haya**
I was charging the battery for the
electric drill and you unplugged it!
**[08:45] Alice**
Oh, pipe down! I needed the electricity, too!
**[08:48] Alice**
There are only so many generators here!
**[08:51] Haya**
Well, don't touch it until
I say you can. Got it?
**[08:54] Alice**
What's your problem?! I'm in a hurry, too!
**[08:57] Ryo**
You're in the way, damn it!
**[08:59] Ryo**
Quit lazing around, Aldini!
**[09:01] Taku**
Quit making such a fuss in such a
small space! You're making it hotter!
**[09:03] Taku**
Can't you work more quietly?!
**[09:05] Ryo**
What?
**[09:06] Taku**
What?
**[09:07] Haya**
You assholes need to quit
holding each other back!
**[09:09] Haya**
We're not gonna be able to open at this rate!
**[09:10] Niku**
Talk about a bloodbath.
Like, it couldn't get any worse.
**[09:14] Soma**
Yeah, they're definitely at their wit's end.
**[09:16] Niku**
This isn't a laughing matter!
**[09:18] Niku**
You're already off in some
dark corner of the beach!
**[09:21] Niku**
And the shop next to you is
stealing all your customers!
**[09:23] Soma**
Wow! Yeah, business is
definitely booming there!
**[09:29] Guy**
Too bad for you, First Seat!
**[09:32] Guy**
Sorry for stealing all the
customers around here.
**[09:35] Soma**
Is he from next door?
**[09:37] Niku**
Huh? The hell?!
**[09:39] Niku**
You wanna fight? Who the hell
do you think you are?!
**[09:41] Alice**
Oh, I know him!
**[09:42] Alice**
These past few months, you've been
after Yukihira-kun's First Seat.
**[09:45] Alice**
You keep doing Shokugekis over and over,
but haven't won a single one yet.
**[09:49] Alice**
I don't know your name, though.
**[09:51] Guy**
Dakekanba! I'm Dakekanba Ken!
***SIGN*** Dakekanba Ken
**[09:54] Ken**
Tomorrow, you won't be able to
look down on me any longer!
**[09:57] Ken**
If the Elite Ten members fail,
**[09:59] Ken**
the chances of other students
entering the Elite Ten will go up!
**[10:03] Ken**
Obviously, that includes me!
**[10:04] Ken**
Anyway, keep on struggling. Thanks.
**[10:08] Ken**
Don't let me down, Elite Ten members!
**[10:12] Niku**
Damn it! What a piece of shit!
**[10:14] Niku**
Who the hell wishes for other people to fail?
**[10:18] Soma**
Well, I don't expect Totsuki
to be any other way.
**[10:21] Soma**
What a great kid.
**[10:22] Niku**
Huh?
**[10:23] Niku**
What are you talking about, Yukihira?!
**[10:25] Soma**
Well, wanting to join the Elite Ten
is a given for anyone at Totsuki.
**[10:30] Niku**
But, I mean... the rules for
this exam aren't fair at all!
**[10:34] Soma**
This must be how it was last year, too.
**[10:38] Soma**
I'm sure our senpais had to
overcome a harsh task, too.
**[10:43] Soma**
Same with our senpais that
graduated this year.
**[10:46] Soma**
Even the classes before them...
**[10:48] Soma**
They always had to prove themselves
to the other students.
**[10:51] Soma**
Trials that other students
would find impossible...
**[10:55] Soma**
Once you can show the others
that you can overcome that,
**[10:58] Soma**
that's when you can show everyone
that you're Elite Ten material!
***SIGN*** Elite Ten
**[11:02] Niku**
Yukihira...
**[11:04] Soma**
Besides, we've been through like
crap like this a bunch of times before.
**[11:09] Haya**
Of course. We already have a plan laid out.
**[11:12] Haya**
All that's left is to carry it out.
**[11:14] Haya**
Get back to work.
**[11:15] Ryo**
Like I need you to tell me what to do.
**[11:18] Taku**
Yes, let's continue.
**[11:20] Alice**
Yeah!
**[11:21] Megu**
U-U-Um...
**[11:23] Megu**
We forgot to order disposable
chopsticks and cups and such.
**[11:26] Haya**
Forgot to order them?
**[11:27] Taku**
Who was in charge of that?
**[11:28] Ryo**
It was the miss's job.
**[11:29] Alice**
Wasn't me.
**[11:30] Soma**
Which means...
**[11:32] Soma**
Are we missing anything else?!
**[11:33] Alice**
Oh, look at all of you panicking!
**[11:33] Taku**
Hurry up and order them! We don't have time!
**[11:33] Ryo**
Quit wastin' time, Aldini!
**[11:33] Haya**
At this rate, we won't be able to do
anything on the last day, either!
**[11:37] niku**
Are they going to be all right?
**[11:47] Niku**
So tired...
**[11:50] Ryoko**
By the way, Mito-san, you went
to the Elite Ten's shop, right?
**[11:53] Buns**
How were Yukihira and Megumi doing?
Are they gonna make it?
**[11:56] Niku**
Well, I'm a bit worried, to be honest.
**[12:04] Soma**
Hey, it's Nakiri.
**[12:16] Erina**
Yukihira-kun?
**[12:17] Soma**
H-Hey. What're you doing out here, Nakiri?
**[12:20] Erina**
Oh, nothing.
**[12:22] Erina**
I was just enjoying the evening breeze.
What about you, Yukihira-kun?
**[12:24] Soma**
Oh, well, I was just, uh...
**[12:29] Soma**
I forgot.
**[12:31] Erina**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[12:36] Soma**
You know, you're way prettier
when you're laughing.
**[12:39] Erina**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you—
**[12:40] Soma**
Well, I just always imagine you pissed off.
**[12:45] Erina**
And that's usually your fault!
**[12:47] Erina**
So, how are things going
at your beach clubhouse?
**[12:50] Erina**
It doesn't look like you've
made a single yen yet.
**[12:53] Soma**
Yeah, we're in some trouble.
**[12:56] Soma**
But you know, working with a bunch
of other people gets me all excited.
**[13:01] Soma**
It reminds me of when my whole family
would be in the kitchen back home.
**[13:05] Soma**
We'd be busy, but Mom and
Dad would start arguing.
**[13:09] Erina**
I see. So your mother was also in the kitchen.
**[13:12] Erina**
She must have been an excellent
chef if she was able
**[13:15] Erina**
to stand side by side with Saiba-sama.
**[13:17] Soma**
Actually, just the opposite.
She was a lousy cook.
**[13:22] Soma**
Not to mention she was crude
and had a filthy mouth.
**[13:25] Erina**
Really?
**[13:26] Soma**
Yeah, she was a great mom, though.
***SIGN*** Yukihira
**[13:31] Erina**
It must be nice to be able to
talk about your mother that way.
**[13:36] Erina**
More importantly, I'm counting
on you to pass this final!
**[13:40] Soma**
Right...
**[13:42] Erina**
You'd better pass.
**[13:44] Soma**
Yeah! And then I'm gonna challenge
you to a Shokugeki right after!
**[13:49] Erina**
Bring it on. I'll take you on any time,
**[13:52] Erina**
and send you home crying.
**[13:54] Soma**
I guess you haven't changed,
even though you're the director now.
**[13:57] Erina**
What? Of course I haven't changed.
**[13:59] Soma**
Anyway, I'm heading to bed.
**[14:01] Erina**
Yes, you do that!
***SIGN*** The Third Day
**[14:09] Niku**
It's finally the last day.
**[14:10] Buns**
All right! Let's do this!
**[14:13] Buns**
Actually, where are Marui and Ibusaki?
**[14:15] Ryoko**
Apparently, they thought of something
and went to get the tools for it.
**[14:20] Ryoko**
They should be back any minute now.
**[14:22] Niku**
Do your best, Yukihira.
**[14:26] Ken**
The Elite Ten's shop still looks
like that after their repairs?
**[14:30] Ken**
After two days, it still
looks barely presentable.
**[14:33] Ken**
Looks like I'm going to win again today.
**[14:35] Alice**
Well, that takes care of the renovations.
**[14:38] Haya**
Yeah. All the prep is done for the food, too.
**[14:42] Haya**
Let's open up shop.
**[14:43] Megu**
Right.
**[14:51] Haya**
Your initial stations are
just as we discussed.
**[14:53] Haya**
First, we're gonna have you veterans
raise hell in the kitchen.
**[15:00] Soma**
Well, this looks like a fun kitchen.
**[15:03] Soma**
Let's do this!
**[15:05] All**
Yeah!
**[15:06] Erina**
The last day of the final exams.
**[15:08] Erina**
Make sure you...
**[15:09] Erina**
achieve your three-million-yen goal!
**[15:12] Ken**
Here's your Teppanyaki Lobster!
**[15:15] Ken**
You get to feel like you're
at a high-class restaurant!
**[15:18] Girl**
It's gorgeous!
**[15:20] Girl**
So glamorous!
**[15:21] Guy**
It's 4,000 yen? That's expensive!
**[15:22] Girl**
I want one, darling!
**[15:24] Guy**
We're standing out again! The menu
Dakekanba-kun came up with is a hit!
**[15:29] Guy**
I'm surprised you were able to get
your hands on lobster like that!
**[15:32] Guy**
Guess it pays to have a super-rich dad!
**[15:34] Ken**
* Actually, I used my dad's name*
* to make them lower the price*
**[15:36] Ken**
*to less than half the market value.*
**[15:38] Ken**
*We're guaranteed success!*
**[15:40] Ken**
*Please don't let Papa find out, though!*
**[15:44] Ken**
* But because of this, we're*
* beating every other place here!*
**[15:47] Ken**

the aroma's being unleashed all over

To think you were able to lure in

So you got some customers. So what?!

You need three million yen!

There's no way you can handle all the

Though we were all fighting

We passed, too!

But the Elite Ten of our

**[20:44] Haya**
Though the most impressive
one was Tadokoro Megumi.
**[20:48] Taku**
She basically handled all

So what're you guys doing

I'll probably take a trip

Why don't we wander around Japan

The WGO has officially gotten
word about the BLUE.
**[00:09] Erina**
According to the announcement, three
representatives from Totsuki Academy may enter.
**[00:14] Erina**
What we need to figure out is who
those three are going to be.
**[00:17] Soma**
All right! I'm gonna do it!
**[00:19] Soma**
It's the competition that my dad was
supposed to be in, and I'm the first seat!
**[00:22] Erina**
Hush your mouth!
**[00:24] Erina**
Since the three who'll fill the spots
were not appointed by the WGO,
**[00:27] Erina**
we will let the whole school
compete for them, as we should.
**[00:30] Alice**
Oh? Are you planning on
competing in the BLUE?
**[00:33] Erina**
I've been invited outside of those three spots.

**[00:37] Erina**
I'm already competing.
**[00:39] Both**
What? No fair!

I can't blame you for finding that unfair.
**[00:44] Erina**
But I must compete in the BLUE no matter what.

So if I compete in the BLUE, I'll be able
to compete against you too, Nakiri.

**[01:00] Kuga**
Well, if it was determined by dirty money,
Eizan'd have no competition.
**[01:05] Eizan**
And if we were going by the shrimpiest,
you'd reign supreme, Kuga.
**[01:13] Isshiki**
I guess we'll have to figure out
a way we're all satisfied with.
**[01:17] Nene**
We have to prepare for the Autumn Elections,
too, so we don't have much time.
**[01:21] Taku**
So who are we going to pick, and how?
**[01:23] Soma**
Yeah.

Hayama Akira's dish...
**[08:49] Girl**
I smell curry...
**[08:51] Girl**
We get to relive the Autumn

**[08:53] Haya**
Relive?
**[08:55] Haya**
I hope that's not all you're expecting from me.
**[08:57] Haya**
Because I made something completely new.
**[09:01] Haya**
I've made Five Kinds of Curry Soup.

**[09:04] Girl**
Such fragrant curry! And there are five kinds!
**[09:08] Girl**
And the bowl is made like a pie!
**[09:14] Girl**
It's almost like...
**[09:15] Girl**
...five types of...
**[09:16] Girls**
...curry hot springs!
**[09:22] Girl**
The aroma's getting stronger.
**[09:24] Girl**
The spices baked into the bowl are
slowly melting into the curries!
**[09:28] Akira**
The more you eat, the more pleasure
you'll feel from the aroma.
**[09:32] Girl**
This isn't just like an outdoor bath...
**[09:35] Girl**
The experience goes beyond
the aroma of the curry.
**[09:38] All**
It's a five-colored heavenly paradise!
**[09:46] Isami**
This is Aldini-style Cold Taglierini.
**[09:50] Girl**
Can you really call this a soup?

scattered in an orthodox minestrone.
**[10:53] Girl**
What's in the little tomato
bowl in the middle?
**[10:55] Taku**
That's a cheese fondue-style soup.
**[10:57] Girl**
Cheese fondue? So you're telling us

**[11:02] Guy**
What a fresh take.
**[11:05] Girl**
*Cheese on cheese...*

Yukihira Soma's dish looks golden.

It must be wrapped up in meat

less than favorable...
**[14:52] Hina**
That was before we got to
taste it, Tadokoro Megumi-san.
**[14:56] Girl**
Seafood meatballs.
**[14:58] Girl**
To think that in each and every one of those
**[14:59] Girl**
was miso soup created with
multiple kinds of miso.
**[15:03] Hina**
Each one was like opening a jack-in-the-box!
**[15:06] Hina**
It felt like we were traveling across Japan

But for that, we need permission from

my bride.
**[19:56] Megu**

Though I haven't made my move just yet.
**[20:02] Asahi**
But I knew from the moment I met her...
**[20:05] Asahi**
that she and I had something special.
**[20:10] Megu**
*Omigosh!*
**[20:12] Megu**
*Gettin' engaged? But she ain't outta school yet!*
**[20:14] Megu**
*It's like a dang shojo manga!*
**[20:16] Asahi**
Director Erina is the perfect woman for me.
**[20:20] Asahi**
And the ultimate chef who
can satisfy her tongue...
**[20:24] Asahi**
is me, and none other than me!
**[20:27] Soma**
Now, hang on a damn second.
**[20:29] Soma**
Who died and made you king?
**[20:31] Soma**
I have some business with
Erina's tongue, too.
**[20:35] Soma**
Her tongue's pretty damn useful.
**[20:38] Erina**
*Yukihira-kun?*
**[20:40] Asahi**
Well, you're free to think whatever you want,
**[20:43] Asahi**
but this is crystal clear...
**[20:45] Asahi**
I'm the one who's going to marry Nakiri Erina.
**[20:47] Soma**
Nakiri Erina's mine.
**[20:50] Both**
I won't let anyone else have her!
**[20:58] Soma**
Fine. Let's do this, Suzuki-sensei.
**[21:01] Soma**
If you're so sure you can make
a dish that'll defeat me,
**[21:06] Soma**
let's see it. Right here, right now.
**[21:08] Asahi**
Well, now that that's settled...
**[21:10] Asahi**
Let's say the theme will be anything
using the ingredients available here.
**[21:14] Asahi**
That means you're gonna be
the judge, Tadokoro-san. Thanks.
**[21:16] Megu**
H-Huh? Me?
**[21:18] Asahi**
You placed first in the BLUE Preliminaries.
Who would be better?
**[21:22] Asahi**

**[21:28] Soma**
You're no ordinary teacher, are you?

Well, I don't know about that.
**[21:34] Asahi**
But you know... everyone has a secret.

It may look like normal tonkatsu sauce,
**[03:26] Soma**
but that black paste is actually...
**[03:28] Soma**
black cheese sauce!
**[03:31] Soma**
I grilled chunks of eggplant
over a brazier and charred them,
**[03:33] Soma**
then turned it into a puree so they'd
still have the aroma from the charcoal.
**[03:35] Soma**
Then I mixed that with some cheese
to make this special sauce.
**[03:38] Soma**
I'm sure glad I had this brazier grill!
**[03:41] Megu**
I see. The faint flavors of the cheese
and charcoal remain in your mouth,
**[03:46] Megu**
giving it a refreshing aftertaste.
**[03:48] Megu**
That's how you managed such an elegant flavor.
**[03:50] Soma**
I also blended in black garlic
puree as a secret ingredient.
**[03:54] Soma**
Every bite you take is going to
make you want to eat even more.
**[03:58] Megu**
But pork cutlet is notorious
for its greasy savoriness.
**[04:03] Megu**
So how was I still able to taste the
delicate aftertaste of the sauce?
**[04:06] Asahi**
It's how he deep-fried the meat.
**[04:10] Asahi**
Yukihira put the cutlet into the fryer
when the frying oil was still cold.
**[04:14] Asahi**
Sudden drastic changes in temperature
**[04:16] Asahi**
will inevitably make the meat tough.
**[04:19] Asahi**
So he put the cutlet in cold oil and
let the temperature gradually rise
**[04:22] Asahi**
to prevent that.
**[04:23] Asahi**
And then, to finish it off, he quickly
**[04:25] Asahi**
raised the temperature so the high
temperature would instantly crisp the batter.
**[04:28] Asahi**
That results in a light pork cutlet that'll
let you forget about the greasiness,
**[04:33] Asahi**
but still experience the delicate
flavors and aftertaste.
**[04:37] Soma**
I actually used that frying
technique back home, too.
**[04:41] Soma**
I used the technique I learned
at Yukihira Diner,
**[04:43] Soma**
and incorporated everything I
learned at Totsuki into this dish.
**[04:46] Soma**
That's what I put into this
pork cutlet lunch set!
**[04:51] Megu**
I just can't stop eating.
**[04:53] Megu**
* The flavor of this black cheese sauce*
* is enveloping every part of my body.*
**[04:58] Megu**
*This flavor...*
**[05:00] Megu**
...is, like, hella lit! I'm super hype.
**[05:03] Megu**
Ya feel me?
**[05:06] Soma**
Anyway, Suzuki-sensei,
what about your dish?
**[05:09] Asahi**
Oh, I'm almost done.
**[05:12] Asahi**
I'm just waiting for it to finish frying.
**[05:17] Asahi**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[05:21] Asahi**
"Dig in."
**[05:23] Megu**
This is another deep-fried pork cutlet
lunch set, the same as Soma-kun's dish!
**[05:27] Megu**
The only difference is...
**[05:29] Soma**
A white sauce?
**[05:30] Megu**
Soma-kun...
**[05:31] Soma**
Yeah, you can't pull a fast one on me.
**[05:33] Soma**
Uh, hello? "Dig in" is *my* damn line.
**[05:36] Soma**
Get your own!
**[05:38] Megu**
Ah... So that's where you're gonna start.
**[05:40] Soma**
Jeez... You really are like Mimasaka.
**[05:43] Soma**
You an expert in tracing, too?
**[05:45] Asahi**
Tracing?
**[05:47] Asahi**
Oh, right. Yeah, I'm on a
completely different level.
**[05:50] Asahi**
My knife decided upon the same
dish you did. That's all this is.
**[05:56] Soma**
*Wait...*
**[05:58] Asahi**
And of course, my dish is a
level or two above yours.
**[06:02] Asahi**
This pork cutlet is out of this world.
**[06:05] Megu**
Out of this world?
**[06:06] Asahi**
Yukihira's dish is still very
much a standard pork cutlet.
**[06:10] Asahi**
Don't believe me? Give mine a taste.
**[06:21] Megu**
*The texture, flavor... Everything is so light!*
**[06:24] Megu**
*And yet...*
**[06:25] Soma**
* As soon as this sauce starts*
* to spread in your mouth...*
**[06:30] Soma**
* The pressure of the rich*
* deliciousness attacks!*
**[06:32] Soma**
This is Chantilly sauce. I remember
hearing about it from Master Shinomiya.
**[06:37] Asahi**
But you never thought about serving
it with a pork cutlet, did you?
**[06:43] Asahi**
I prepared some light, airy whipped cream,
**[06:47] Asahi**
then added finely minced shallots,
tarragon, and some capers,
**[06:52] Asahi**
plus a tiny bit of Tabasco sauce.
**[06:56] Asashi**
So even though the sauce was light,
you'd definitely know it was there.
**[07:01] Asahi**
Yukihira,
**[07:02] Asahi**
I applaud you for being able to get your
pork cutlet as light as it could be.
**[07:06] Asahi**
But the thought that you have to
make fried foods lighter was naïve.
**[07:11] Asahi**
My sauce surpasses that!
**[07:13] Asahi**
While I did give the pork
cutlet a light texture,
**[07:15] Asahi**
I made sure you could enjoy
the richness of the sauce.
**[07:18] Asahi**
That's obviously way more interesting.
**[07:21] Megu**
*It's so light and airy, like a cloud.*
**[07:24] Megu**
*But because of its powerful pressure...*
**[07:28] Megu**
That's hot, yo!
**[07:30] Megu**
*Even my façade is getting blown away!*
**[07:34] Soma**
*It's light, yet heavy!*
**[07:36] Megu**
*It's so rich, yet fluffy!*
**[07:39] Soma**
Yeah... the taste is definitely
out of this world.
**[07:43] Asahi**
Looks like we know who won this match.
**[07:46] Soma**
*Seriously, who is this guy?*
**[07:49] Soma**
* He'd never be able to make a dish like*
* this if he wasn't stacked with XP.*
**[07:53] Asahi**
Now, as promised, I'll be taking your knife.
**[07:58] Asahi**
I see.
**[08:01] Asahi**
But never mind. I don't need it.
**[08:04] Asahi**
Because now I see it's just an inferior
model of the blade I already have.
**[08:10] Soma**
That knife...
**[08:11] Megu**
Soma-kun?
**[08:12] Soma**
I knew it!
**[08:14] Soma**
That's my dad's!
**[08:15] Asahi**
Ah... So you finally noticed.
**[08:18] Asahi**
Correct. This is Joichiro's knife.
**[08:22] Soma**
Why the hell do you have that?!
**[08:24] Asahi**
Why do you think?
**[08:26] Asahi**
Because I defeated Joichiro
in a cooking competition.
**[08:30] Asahi**
I guess I don't mind letting
you in on one of my secrets.
**[08:34] Asahi**
You see, my name isn't actually Suzuki.
**[08:37] Asahi**
It's Asahi.
**[08:40] Asahi**
Saiba Asahi.
***SIGN*** Saiba
**[08:42] Soma**
Saiba?
**[08:43] Megu**
Saiba? But that's Joichiro-san's old name.
**[08:48] Asahi**
I guess I'll be seeing you, First Seat.
**[08:53] Soma**
Fight me one more time.
**[08:57] Asahi**
Oh?
**[09:00] Megu**
S-S-Soma-ku—
**[09:05] Megu**
The intersection of flavors really
did take us to another world.
**[09:23] Asahi**
Are you awake, Princess Erina?
**[09:26] Erina**
Wh-What in the world?
**[09:29] Asahi**
You heard what I was saying
to Yukihira about you, right?
**[09:34] Asahi**
I meant every word of it.
**[09:35] Erina**
Huh?
**[09:37] Asahi**
I'm going to make you my bride.
**[09:43] Hisako**
B-B-B-Bride?!
**[09:45] Hisako**
So he's going to marry you, Erina-sama?
**[09:48] Erina**
That would be the extent of it, yes.
**[09:50] Hisako**
W-W-W-Wait!
**[09:52] Hisa**
You didn't actually agree—
**[09:53] Erina**
Of course I didn't!
**[09:55] Erina**
I politely, yet assertively declined.
**[09:57] Erina**
But...
**[09:58] Hisa**
But?
**[09:59] Erina**
I always felt as though
I sensed something from him
**[10:03] Erina**
that I never had from anyone else.
**[10:04] Erina**
I wonder what it is...
***SIGN*** Dojima Gin

*Hello?*
**[10:14] Gin**

**[10:16] Erina**
* Chef Dojima, thank you for*
* everything you did at the*
**[10:19] Erina**
*BLUE Preliminaries the other day.*
**[10:21] Gin**
It was definitely an impressive battle.
**[10:23] Gin**
I'm looking forward to the BLUE
as well... Or so I'd like to say,
**[10:27] Gin**
* but there's something else*
* I'd like to tell you.*
**[10:30] Erina**
Yes? What is it?
**[10:32] Gin**
Have you ever heard the name "Saiba Asahi"?
**[10:35] Erina**
Saiba?
**[10:37] Taku**
Saiba Asahi?
**[10:39] Isa**
That's Suzuki-sensei's real name?
**[10:42] Megu**
I don't really get it, either,
but that's what he said.
**[10:45] Taku**
So what's going on here?
**[10:47] Taku**
Is he saying that he's somehow affiliated
with Yukihira's father, Chef Saiba?
**[10:51] Taku**
Could he be a secret love child?
**[10:53] Megu**
What?!
**[10:54] Isami**
You shouldn't say things like that
without solid proof, Big Bro.
**[10:59] Taku**
I-I guess you're right. My apologies.
**[11:01] Isami**
So where's Yukihira-kun?
**[11:03] Megu**
He went back home for the day.
**[11:04] [SONG] Sign**

**[11:04] Megu**
He said he wanted to check up on

Oh, hey. I guess you're home, Soma.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Diner
**[11:49] Soma**
Why are you here?
**[11:50] Jo**
I just had some work nearby.
**[11:53] Jo**
So I heard from Gin, but you're
gonna participate in the BLUE?
**[11:57] Jo**
Don't wuss out and bail like I did.
**[11:59] Jo**
Got it?
**[12:00] Soma**
The hell I will!
**[12:03] Jo**
I see. So Asahi managed to
make his way into Totsuki.
**[12:07] Jo**
And then you lost.
**[12:10] Soma**
Yeah. And he mentioned that he beat you, too.
**[12:13] Jo**
Yeah, he wasn't lying.
**[12:16] Jo**
And it looks like something I did
ended up causing you trouble again.
**[12:21] Soma**
Wait, something you did? What do you mean?
**[12:24] Jo**
That guy... Saiba Asahi...
**[12:27] Gin**
* Saiba Asahi is the one and only chef*
* Joichiro ever took in as a student.*
***SIGN*** Dojima Gin
**[12:32] Erina**
His... student?
**[12:34] Gin**
*Yes. They first met over ten years ago.*
**[12:39] Gin**
* Back then, Joichiro was frequently*
* traveling between Japan and the US.*
**[12:44] Jo**
One day, I was asked to help out
at an American friend's charity.
**[12:50] Jo**
I went to an orphanage to make
some food for the kids there.
**[12:55] Jo**
That's where I met him.
**[12:57] Jo**
He kept saying how good my food was,
**[13:01] Jo**
and whenever I visited the place later,
he would help me out in the kitchen.
**[13:05] Jo**
For some reason, I couldn't
let myself abandon the kid.
**[13:07] Jo**
He also reminded me of my juniors at the
Polar Star Dormitory that I'd left behind.
**[13:11] Jo**
So I ended up looking after him.
**[13:14] Jo**
I took him around everywhere,
and taught him good judgment
**[13:17] Jo**
as well as how to cook.
**[13:19] Jo**
He had a knack for it.
**[13:22] Jo**
Eventually, he got serious
about becoming a chef,
**[13:24] Jo**
and started working at one
of the eateries in town.
**[13:27] Jo**
That's also around the time that he
said he wanted to take the Saiba name.
**[13:30] Jo**
I thought, "Sure, why not?"
**[13:32] Jo**
He was a great student.
**[13:35] Jo**
But then I told the kid goodbye.
**[13:37] Soma**
Huh? But why?
***SIGN*** Scruff
**[13:39] Soma**
The hell?! Stop messing up my hair when
I'm trying to ask you a question!
**[13:44] Jo**
I made up my mind.
**[13:45] Jo**
I had a place to go home to,
so I couldn't keep wandering around.
**[13:48] Jo**
I was going to run Yukihira
like I was supposed to.
**[13:51] Soma**
*This must have been when I was still little.*
**[13:54] Soma**
*So it must've been that one time...*
**[13:58] Jo**
So because of that,
I hadn't seen him in a while.
**[14:01] Jo**
But then he showed up before
me out of the blue.
**[14:05] Jo**
In New York.
**[14:06] Jo**
And he challenged me to a cooking contest
**[14:09] Jo**
for my knife.
**[14:17] Jo**
You know, it's probably a good
thing that you lost to him.
**[14:20] Jo**
I mean, if you won, it'd make me look weaker.
**[14:24] Soma**
Stop being so happy about your
son's loss, you shitty dad!
**[14:28] Jo**
I'm sure he wanted to get revenge
on me for abandoning him.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Diner
**[14:33] Jo**
That's probably why he challenged you, too.
**[14:36] Jo**
Sorry about that, Soma.
**[14:38] Jo**
You ended up in this mess
because of me again—
**[14:41] Soma**
Huh? The hell are you talking about, Dad?
**[14:43] Jo**
Huh?
**[14:44] Soma**
I get that he was your student,
**[14:47] Soma**
but he challenged me,
and I was the one who lost.
**[14:51] Soma**
So this has nothing to do with you anymore.
**[14:55] Soma**
This has to do with *me*.
**[14:56] Soma**
I'm definitely going to win next time!
**[15:00] Soma**
Hey, I know. Let's have a cooking contest,
right here, right now.
**[15:03] Soma**
You can spare that much time, don't you?
**[15:05] Jo**
S-Sure.
**[15:06] Soma**
Right. I'll go get the kitchen ready.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Diner

**[15:31] Erina**
I certainly am surprised that Saiba-sama
lost to a former student of his...
**[15:36] Gin**
*Right around when Joichiro told me all this,*
**[15:40] Gin**
I heard Saiba Asahi's name elsewhere.
**[15:44] Gin**
*He was invited to the BLUE as part of Noir.*
**[15:48] Erina**
Noir?
**[15:49] Hisa**
I've heard about them before.
**[15:51] Hisa**
I believe they're also called
the Chefs of the Night.
**[15:54] Gin**
*Correct.*
**[15:55] Gin**
They're a group of chefs that only show
up to places no reputable chef would go,
**[16:01] Gin**
like secret dinners for VIPs or parties
thrown by underworld figures,
**[16:04] Gin**
and make a fortune.
**[16:06] Gin**
They're made up of a bunch of social outcasts
***SIGN*** Noir
Chefs of the Night
**[16:10] Gin**
and depraved chefs who
don't mind breaking the law.
**[16:14] Erina**
And people like that were
actually invited to the BLUE?
**[16:18] Gin**
*Correct.*
**[16:19] Gin**
This was apparently an order from the top
of the WGO, who put the BLUE together.
**[16:25] Gin**
It's been a while since the last BLUE was held,
**[16:28] Gin**
but the motive behind it
is very different this time.
**[16:31] Gin**
They're gathering young talent
from all over the world,
**[16:33] Gin**
those who'll represent the
next generation of gourmet.
**[16:35] Gin**
And they felt that just bringing chefs from
the respectable side of society wasn't enough.
**[16:40] Hisa**
But even if there are participants
from the underworld,
**[16:44] Hisa**
this is still a cooking competition.
**[16:46] Hisa**
I don't see a reason to worry...
**[16:48] Gin**
*I'm hoping that's the case, too.*
**[16:51] Gin**
But this competition will include
chefs from both worlds.
**[16:55] Gin**
It's impossible to predict what will happen.
**[16:57] Gin**
And the most concerning detail
about this whole thing
**[17:00] Gin**
is the fact that the current leader of Noir
**[17:03] Gin**
is Saiba Asahi.
**[17:15] Hisa**
The fact that Noir is participating
in the BLUE is unprecedented enough,
**[17:19] Hisa**
but to think that their leader
is a student of Chef Saiba...
**[17:23] Hisa**
I'll inform Yukihira of this at once,
**[17:25] Hisa**
as well as Tadokoro Megumi
and Takumi Aldini.
**[17:28] Erina**
Yes, please do.
**[17:30] Erina**
Will you also do some research
concerning Noir?
**[17:34] Erina**
Any minor detail will do.
**[17:36] Hisa**
As you wish. I'll get started right away.
**[17:43] Erina**
*The Bookmaster...*
**[17:49] Asahi**
So what exactly did you want to know about us?
**[17:54] Asahi**
I mean, I could just tell you in person.
**[17:57] Erina**
You—No, you can't be...
**[17:59] Asahi**
Yeah, we're Noir.
**[18:02] Erina**
Stop this instant! If you get any closer—
**[18:06] Asahi**
Don't worry. I didn't come here
to hurt you, Princess Erina.
**[18:11] Erina**
Instructor Suzuki!
**[18:12] Asahi**
Yeah, see, I'm not actually Suzuki.
**[18:15] Erina**
Huh?
**[18:16] Asahi**
I'm Saiba Asahi.
**[18:18] Asahi**
You were just talking about me, weren't you?
**[18:20] Erina**
Saiba? You're—
**[18:22] Asahi**
Pretty much. I'm here to
ask you a favor, Princess.
**[18:27] Asahi**
Princess Erina, if we compete in
a cooking competition and I win,
**[18:31] Asahi**
swear that you'll be my bride.
**[18:34] Erina**
A cooking competition?
Are you talking about the BLUE?
**[18:38] Asahi**
Well, at first, I was going to get you
to fall for me in a more orthodox way,
**[18:41] Asahi**
but considering what happened the other day,
I figured that wouldn't work.
**[18:45] Asahi**
I thought settling things with
cooking would be quicker.
**[18:49] Asahi**
After viewing Totsuki Academy from the
inside these past few months, I thought...
**[18:54] Asahi**
It's a waste for a woman like you
to be stuck in a place like this.
**[18:59] Asahi**
I was curious to see how good
he was, so I challenged him,
**[19:03] Asahi**
but the First Seat of the
Elite Ten was no big deal,
**[19:06] Asahi**
and the girl who took first place at the
BLUE Preliminaries isn't impressive, either.
**[19:11] Asahi**
Even if they were to face us in the BLUE,
they wouldn't stand a chance.
**[19:15] Asahi**
Honestly, Princess, you'd be happier with me,
instead of being stuck with those people.
**[19:21] Asahi**
So...
**[19:23] Erina**
That's quite enough!
**[19:24] Erina**
I will not allow you to
insult Totsuki like that!
**[19:27] Erina**
And you have the nerve to challenge me?!
**[19:31] Erina**
Very well, I accept!
**[19:32] Erina**
I'll make you regret ever insulting
Totsuki with my cooking!
**[19:38] Asahi**
Oh?
**[19:48] Erina**
*Such an unbelievably delicious aroma!*
**[19:51] Asahi**
I guess I'm not surprised, Princess Erina.
**[19:53] Asahi**
You could tell how amazing my dish
was without even tasting it.
**[19:58] Erina**
* It's so perfectly executed,*
* I can hardly move...*
**[20:01] Erina**
*This is how powerful Noir is?*
**[20:05] Asahi**
I will defeat you at the BLUE and win.
**[20:08] Asahi**
And that's where we're going
to exchange our vows.
**[20:13] Asahi**
Surrounded by plenty of witnesses!
**[20:16] Asahi**
Both sides of the culinary world
will soon fall under my rule.
**[20:21] Asahi**
That also goes for Totsuki Academy.
**[20:24] Asahi**
Sounds great, doesn't it?
**[20:26] Asahi**
Well, Princess...
**[20:29] Asahi**

**[20:57] Soma**
then win the whole damn thing and take the top!
**[20:59] Soma**
That's like killing *three* birds with one stone!
**[21:02] Jo**
Soma...
**[21:04] Jo**
I never really told you this,
**[21:07] Jo**
but I'll tell you now: the secret
to becoming a great chef.
**[21:11] Jo**
It's to meet someone that you want
to dedicate all of your cooking to.
**[21:19] Soma**
*Dedicate... all of my cooking to?*
**[21:25] Megu**
*Mom...*
**[21:26] Megu**
*I'm going to do my best.*
**[21:33] Taku**
* On the name of Aldini...*
* I'm going to win, no matter what!*
**[21:38] Erina**
* If I lose to Noir,*
* the future of Totsuki will be...*
**[21:43] Erina**
*I cannot lose, no matter what.*
**[21:50] Soma**
*I'm gonna get to the top!*
**[21:55] Asahi**
It is Noir that will take everything.
**[21:59] Asahi**
Let's go! To the BLUE!

**[00:04] Soma**
This day sure got here pretty fast.
**[00:07] Megumi**
Y-Yeah...
**[00:08] Takumi**
The BLUE... I guess this is
where we're going to battle.
**[00:11] Soma**
But man, to think it'd be held
at a castle. That's awesome.
**[00:15] Takumi**
Apparently they used to hold
this event at huge arenas,
**[00:18] Takumi**
but it seems the contest is
completely different this time.
**[00:22] Megu**
Hey, look over there!
**[00:24] Megu**
He runs a two-star restaurant in Milan!
**[00:27] Soma**
Huh...
**[00:27] Takumi**
And over there is
**[00:29] Takumi**
a chef who scored sweeping victories at
various gourmet competitions in Shanghai.
**[00:32] Takumi**
And people from New York,
Lyon, and San Sebastián...
**[00:35] Megumi**
It's amazing that we're going to be
participating alongside these people.
**[00:41] Taku**
Despite that, you seem
quite calm, Tadokoro-san.
**[00:45] Soma**
You're on another level today, Tadokoro.
**[00:48] Megumi**
I'm real dang nervous.
**[00:51] Megumi**
I drunk up the kanji for "person" from
m'hand so many times since last week,
**[00:54] Megumi**
I can't drink no more!
**[00:55] Taku**
I'm not sure you should say that
so gleefully, but all right.
**[00:59] Anne**
*I thank you all for gathering here today.*
**[01:02] Soma**
Hey, it's Anne-san.
**[01:04] Anne**
* From the bottom of my heart,*
* I congratulate you on making it to the BLUE.*
**[01:07] Megumi**
Oh, yeah. Where's Nakiri-san?
**[01:09] Taku**
Yeah, I haven't seen her.
**[01:11] Anne**
* The ones who began the BLUE*
* and ran it until today are*
**[01:15] Anne**
*the World Gourmet Organization, or WGO.*
**[01:20] Anne**
This BLUE, however, will be
run a little differently.

**[01:37] Soma**
Whoa...
***SIGN*** First Gate

*In order to get to the castle tower,*

* you must overcome the culinary*

**[02:02] Mana**
*Struggle and make your way here, young chefs.*
**[02:06] Mana**

**[04:14] Soma**
Well, hello there. If it isn't Saiba-san!
**[04:18] Soma**
Glad to see ya again.
**[04:20] Soma**
Looks like a great day for revenge.
**[04:23] Asahi**
Is it? Well, I wish you luck.
**[04:26] Soma**
Hey! Where the hell are you going?
**[04:29] Soma**
The trials are just beginning!
**[04:32] Asahi**
Sorry, but I get to start
a bit ahead of you guys.
**[04:38] Asahi**
Didn't they tell you?
**[04:40] Asahi**
The WGO have seeded some of us
depending on our accomplishments.
**[04:45] Megu**
Seeded?
**[04:46] Asahi**
I get a free ride all the
way to the third gate.
**[04:49] Asahi**
Those guys get to go to the second gate.
**[04:51] Asahi**
Meaning the ones who get to stay
here are the weakest of the bunch.
**[04:56] Asahi**
If you want revenge against me,
**[04:58] Asahi**
you're gonna have to make
it to the castle tower.
**[05:00] Asahi**
You have to at least make it
through the first gate with ease,
**[05:04] Asahi**
or you might make me so sad, I'll actually cry.
**[05:07] Asahi**
Well, see ya... Yukihira Soma.
**[05:10] Soma**
Just you wait! I'll kick your ass!
**[05:14] Erina**
No, I'm going to be the one who defeats him.
**[05:18] Soma**
Oh, hey, Nakiri. Where have you been?
**[05:21] Megu**
Thank goodness. I hadn't seen you,
so I was getting a little worried.
**[05:25] Taku**
Yes. I'm glad we got to see you
before the competition began.
**[05:29] Anne**
*And now, the BLUE shall commence.*
**[05:31] Anne**
* I will now tell you the details*
* of the trial at the first gate.*

**[05:37] Anne**

***SIGN*** Lou Rubes
***SIGN*** H. Hayworth
**[05:41] Taku**
Looks like we're all in different groups.
**[05:43] Megu**
Wait. Where's Nakiri-san?
**[05:45] Anne**
* The current director of Totsuki*
* Academy, Miss Nakiri,*
**[05:48] Anne**
* will be facing a trial on her own,*
* separate from these three groups.*
**[05:53] Megu**
Huh?
**[05:53] Erina**
Yes. It's just as I figured.
**[05:55] Soma**
What? You get special treatment, too?
No fair, man.
**[05:59] Taku**
No. If that were the case,
they would've seeded her.
**[06:03] Taku**
But why would you have to face
a trial separately from us?
**[06:08] Erina**
You three don't need to worry about me.
**[06:11] Erina**
Just concentrate on getting
through to the end.
**[06:14] Erina**
Understand?
**[06:17] Megu**
Do your best, Nakiri-san!
**[06:22] Megu**
I wonder if Nakiri-san will be okay.
**[06:24] Taku**
Yes, something about her seemed off.
**[06:27] Soma**
Well, whatever.
**[06:29] Soma**
Whatever's going on,
Nakiri won't go down that easily.
**[06:33] Megu**
You're right.
**[06:34] Taku**
Yes.
**[06:34] Anne**
* Now, please head to the locations*
* designated to your groups.*
**[06:38] Megu**
Soma-kun, Takumi-kun, do your best out there.
**[06:41] Soma**
Yeah. Let's all get through
this trial and meet again.
**[06:44] Taku**
Yukihira, make sure you reach
the finals. I'll crush you yet again.
**[06:49] Soma**
Yeah, I know. I ain't gonna lose.
**[07:01] Soma**
So, who're we gonna face for the first trial?
**[07:05] Rantabi**
Come on, out of my way.
**[07:07] Rantabi**
Ugh, it finally got a little cooler
when the sun went down.
**[07:11] Rantabi**
Tokyo's so unnecessarily hot.
**[07:14] Soma**
Looks like some loud lady showed up.
**[07:16] Rantabi**
I'm a second-class adjudicator
with the WGO, Rantabi.
***SIGN*** WGO Second-Class Adjudicator
Rantabi
**[07:20] Rantabi**
I guess I'll go ahead and explain
the first trial to you people.
**[07:23] Rantabi**
You'd better listen carefully,
because I'm only saying it once.
**[07:26] Rantabi**
The judging here will be extremely simple.
**[07:29] Rantabi**
Serve the judge a dish that
satisfies him, and you pass.
**[07:33] Rantabi**
And this group's judge is going to be...
**[07:36] Rantabi**
him.
**[07:37] Rantabi**
That gentleman is Tokiyama Heigoro.
**[07:40] Rantabi**
We had him come all the way from
the hospital he's staying at.
**[07:43] Rantabi**
He's a former Noir member
who mainly worked in Japan.
**[07:47] Soma**
A former Noir member?
**[07:49] Soma**
So that guy was an underworld chef.
**[07:52] Rantabi**
He started his career with Noir in the
black markets that sprang up after the war.
***SIGN*** Udon
**[07:57] Rantabi**
He prepared many meals for underworld figures.
**[08:01] Rantabi**
He was a thug who took care of
enemies both in the kitchen and out.
**[08:08] Rantabi**
This group's theme is to create
a last supper that will satisfy him.
**[08:15] Heigoro**
I thought all that awaited me was death.
***SIGN*** Ex-Noir
Tokiyama Heigoro
**[08:19] Hei**
To think I'd have the honor
of being a judge in the BLUE.
**[08:24] Hei**
I'm eternally grateful.
**[08:26] Hei**
Many thanks, great Bookmaster.
**[08:29] Rantabi**
Hey! That's a stone lantern!
**[08:30] Soma**
Uh...
**[08:31] Rantabi**
So, wait... Where did I leave off?
**[08:34] Rantabi**
Oh, right. You'll only have one
chance to present your dish.
**[08:37] Rantabi**
One you're done cooking,
enter his camp and serve him.
**[08:41] Rantabi**
You can get your ingredients and seasonings
from that refrigerated truck over there.
**[08:45] Rantabi**
You're not allowed to use any
ingredients you brought with you.
**[08:48] Rantabi**
You have two hours.
**[08:50] Cook A**
Hang on a second.
**[08:51] Cook C**
A last supper? What kind of theme is that?
**[08:54] Cook B**
So it's not just a matter of
who presents the best dish.
**[08:57] Rantabi**
I told you that I'd only explain this once.
**[08:59] Rantabi**
If he's satisfied, you pass. That's it.
**[09:02] Cook A**
The theme is too broad.
**[09:04] Cook C**
Everyone would want different
things for their final meal.
**[09:07] Cook B**
And we only get one chance.
**[09:09] Rantabi**
By the way, you get five minutes
to interview him, starting now.
**[09:14] Rantabi**
Ask him whatever you'd like.
**[09:19] Cook B**
May I ask you a question?
What's your favorite dish?
**[09:22] Cook C**
I'm sure you prefer Japanese cuisine.
**[09:24] Cook D**
Please tell me your favorite food.
**[09:25] Cook A**
Where are you from?
**[09:27] Toki**
Right... That was the time we
ambushed those greedy bastards
**[09:32] Toki**
trying to do business in our black market.
**[09:34] Cook B**
No, we're asking you where you were born.
Do you understand, old man?
**[09:38] Toki**
I sure was a healthy babe.
I would never stop crying.
**[09:41] Bunny**
Looks like they're trying hard.
**[09:44] Guy**
They're totally desperate! I mean,
this is the BLUE, after all.
**[09:47] Tommy**
Oh?
**[09:48] Tommy**
You're not going to ask any questions?
**[09:50] Tommy**
You might be able to find
out his favorite food.
**[09:53] Tommy**
Of course, nothing beats the taste of
home right before you're about to die.
**[09:59] Tommy**
I'm missing my mom's homemade scones, myself.
**[10:03] Soma**
Yeah, I get that, but there's
something I don't like about this.
**[10:07] Soma**
Like how this whole trial is set up.
**[10:10] Cook A**
*Again*, where were you born?
**[10:14] Toki**
Ah, I was born in a farming
village up in the Tokai region.
**[10:19] Toki**
I'm starting to remember the
miso udon stew and the gohei mochi
**[10:24] Toki**
I used to eat with my family and friends.
**[10:26] Cook A**
* So this trial is all about making*
* what the customer asks for.*
**[10:30] Cook c**
* This trial is testing our ability to make*
* whatever they want perfectly, on the spot.*
**[10:35] Cook B**
* Nothing is more suitable for his last supper*
* than a taste of where he was born.*
**[10:41] Cook A**
Very well. Please wait a little while.
**[10:47] Rantabi**
Okay, Grandpa. Let's get you to your camp.
**[10:54] Cook A**
I'm finished! Please, have a taste!
**[10:57] Cook A**
My special miso udon stew!
**[11:00] Cook A**
I brought out all the flavors
of everything that's in season!
**[11:06] Cook A**
*I made sure to cook the noodles a bit longer.*
**[11:08] Cook A**
* I even cut the other ingredients*
* smaller than I usually would.*
**[11:11] Cook A**
*That should make it easy for the old man to eat.*
***SIGN*** Fail
**[11:17] Toki**
You fail!
***SIGN*** Fail

**[11:23] Cook B**
Impossible! He failed me before
even having a bite of mine!
**[11:26] Cook A**
What's the deal with this trial?
**[11:28] Toki**
You pass! You also pass!
***SIGN*** Pass
**[11:33] Guy**
Easy peasy!
***SIGN*** Pass
**[11:36] Bunny**
See you.
**[11:38] Cook B**
Noir!
**[11:39] Cook A**
They keep passing left and right!
**[11:40] Tommy**
Bask in the flames of hell, my six grills...
**[11:48] Asahi**
You worried about Yukihira Soma?
**[11:51] Erina**
I'm merely waiting for my trial to begin.
**[11:54] Erina**
What are you doing here?
**[11:55] Asahi**
I was and wandering around
bored out of my mind,
**[11:58] Asahi**
and I happened to run into you, princess.
**[12:00] Asahi**
I guess we are fated to be together.
**[12:04] Asahi**
This trial is basically a
free pass for Noir members.
**[12:08] Erina**
What?
**[12:09] Asahi**
Oh, look. Another one's done.
**[12:12] Tommy**
Well, enjoy to your heart's content.
**[12:14] Tommy**
My Six-Shot Roast Beef Revolver.
**[12:17] Tommy**
Six types of beef, all thick and fatty.
**[12:21] Tommy**
I stewed them with salt-pickled cabbage,
like sauerkraut.
**[12:27] Tommy**
Meaty juices and fat, topped
with some tantalizing tang!
**[12:31] Tommy**
Your tongue's gonna go outta control.
**[12:34] Erina**
What an outrageous and overdone dish.
**[12:37] Erina**
That's no meal to present to an
old man who's been hospitalized.
**[12:40] Asahi**
Ordinarily... yeah.
**[12:58] Toki**
You pass!
***SIGN*** Pass
**[13:00] Tommy**
Man, that freaked me out for a sec.
**[13:02] Tommy**
Talk about a harsh setup.
**[13:04] Tommy**
I almost pissed my pants.
**[13:08] Bunny**
Dishes like this are an
everyday thing in the underworld.
**[13:13] Bunny**
Getting asked to make the last supper
for some guy in an organization
**[13:16] Bunny**
who messed up and ended
up on the chopping block...
**[13:18] Guy**
Or making them meals during
visits to their jail.
**[13:22] Asahi**
Presenting something from their
homeland is perfectly fine.
**[13:25] Asahi**
But it's wrong to try to create a half-assed
dish they think their customer might like.
**[13:30] Asahi**
That man's a former Noir member
who risked his life cooking,
**[13:34] Asahi**
so there's only one correct answer:
**[13:36] Asahi**
a dish made with everything
at stake that'll make him feel
**[13:38] Asahi**
like he can die after that meal.
**[13:40] Asahi**
Those on the outside lack the resolve that
everyone in the underworld has.
**[13:45] Asahi**
That's why those of us in Noir are powerful.
**[13:47] Asahi**
Stronger than anyone on the outside, anyway.
**[13:52] Tommy**
Too bad for that kid.
**[13:54] Tommy**
No one on the outside could
possibly figure out this request.
**[13:58] Soma**
Yeah, I don't like this.
**[14:01] Soma**
The last supper? I don't like this one bit!
**[14:05] Tommy**
Oh?
**[14:08] Soma**
Just you wait, old man.
The dish I'm about to make
**[14:11] Soma**
is gonna slap you across the face!
**[14:16] Toki**
You fail, and you fail!
**[14:18] Toki**
All of you fail!
**[14:19] Toki**
Looks like chefs on the outside
just don't have what it takes.
**[14:24] Toki**
* But I've only ever wanted*
* food from the underworld.*
**[14:28] Toki**
* It's not like these spoiled brats*
* are ever going to satisfy me.*
**[14:34] Toki**
It doesn't matter how many
more of them are left.
**[14:38] Rantabi**
The next challenger may come in.
**[14:41] Toki**
Bet it's just another chef from the outside.
**[14:44] Soma**
Wanna say that a little louder, old man?
**[14:47] Soma**
I'll show you that it's too early to
underestimate chefs from the outside!
**[14:52] Tommy**
What the...
**[14:57] Rantabi**
*What?*
**[14:57] Rantabi**
*Monaka?*
**[14:59] Rantabi**
* He seemed like he was about to present*
* a dish that was grand and impactful.*
**[15:03] Rantabi**
* I can't figure out if I'm surprised*
* or if he's just an idiot.*
**[15:05] Toki**
Boy, I hope you're not saying
that all an old man like me needs
**[15:09] Toki**
are some Japanese confections
that'd pair well with some tea.
**[15:14] Toki**
I may be old, but I still have enough
strength to strangle the life outta you.
**[15:19] Toki**
I hope you're prepared for the consequences
if you're just trying to mock me.
**[15:24] Soma**
Yeah... If you're that lively,
you'll have no problem eating my dish.
**[15:31] Soma**
Dig in.
**[15:39] Toki**
*Wh-What in the world?*
**[15:41] Toki**
* All of my cells... my blood and muscles*
* are pulsating with a rush of energy!*
**[15:48] Tommy**
* That frail old man is suddenly*
* brimming with vitality.*
**[15:51] Rantabi**
*What in the world is this dish?*
**[15:53] Toki**
It's incredibly rich, and the tartness
and spiciness pack a punch.
**[15:57] Toki**
This is not a confection.
**[16:00] Toki**
It's ankimo! Monkfish liver!
**[16:03] Soma**
Yup. This is my special dish...
**[16:06] Soma**
And I call it the Ankimonaka Guts Sandwich!
***SIGN*** Ankimo
***SIGN*** monaka
**[16:09] Rantabi**
But there shouldn't have been any monaka
shells in the refrigerated truck!
**[16:13] Soma**
All I needed was a little corn starch
and some shiratama rice flour.
**[16:16] Soma**
Then I used some molds
to sandwich the batter,
**[16:18] Soma**
and I could bake up some
crunchy wafers in no time.
**[16:21] Soma**
Though it wasn't that easy.
**[16:23] Soma**
First, I trimmed and
**[16:24] Soma**
deveined the monkfish liver,
then I salted it to remove the fishiness.
**[16:29] Soma**
Next, I simmered the liver
**[16:31] Soma**
in some broth made from bonito stock,
sake, soy sauce, and sugar.
**[16:35] Soma**
After I strained it to make it nice and soft,
**[16:36] Soma**
I mixed in some homemade
shichimi red pepper blend,
**[16:39] Soma**
and then sandwiched that
between the monaka wafers.
**[16:42] Toki**
* It's delicious... the light monaka with*
* the sticky, thick, monkfish liver.*
**[16:47] Toki**
* Those, along with the mountain yam he*
* mixed in, bring out an excellent texture.*
**[16:52] Toki**
* I keep feeling shock waves as the*
* flavors spread inside my mouth.*
**[16:57] Toki**
*The umami of the dashi and the saltiness*
**[16:59] Toki**
*of the soy sauce are in perfect harmony,*
***SIGN*** Soy Sauce
**[17:01] Toki**
* which then brings out the*
* tartness and spiciness of*
**[17:03] Toki**
*the homemade shichimi even more.*
**[17:05] Toki**
*But that's not all!*
**[17:06] Toki**
*My appetite just keeps growing!*
**[17:10] Toki**
*What in the world is this dish?!*
**[17:13] Soma**
This dish is secret menu
item #44 at Yukihira Diner.
**[17:18] Soma**
It's an otoshi appetizer
made just for our regulars.
**[17:21] Tommy**
* An otoshi is the first dish*
* served at Japanese izakayas.*
**[17:26] Rantabi**
Just like an appetizer in a course meal,
it's meant to boost the diner's appetite.
**[17:32] Soma**
So what's with this last supper?
**[17:34] Soma**
What the hell do you mean, "last"?
**[17:36] Soma**
It doesn't matter if you're from
the outside or the underworld.
**[17:38] Soma**
Cooking should be an endless
horizon for any chef.
**[17:44] Soma**
You can keep exploring forever.
**[17:47] Soma**
Even if you don't have enough energy
to cook for yourself anymore...
**[17:51] Soma**
Look at those pearly whites!
**[17:54] Soma**
You still have plenty of opportunities to
keep enjoying all the food you want!
**[17:58] Soma**
Yet here you are, acting like
you're gonna die tomorrow.
**[18:03] Soma**
I mean, I know everybody dies someday.
**[18:06] Soma**
So when you think you've finally
reached your final moments,
**[18:10] Soma**
come on over to my diner.
**[18:12] Soma**
And the dish I'll serve you there
**[18:16] Soma**
will be your one true last supper.
**[18:19] Soma**
This is the first dish that'll
eventually lead to that.
**[18:24] (Flashback) Boss**
*I see... So you won't be able to
be in the kitchen any longer.*
**[18:28] (Flashback) Boss**
You've been working hard for our
organization since the last boss's era.
**[18:32] (Flashback) Boss**
I'll make sure you're well taken care of.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Boss**
Forget about work and live a long life.
**[18:38] Toki**
*But you see... All I had in life was cooking.*
**[18:43] Toki**
* If I can't stand in the kitchen*
* any longer, I've got nothing left.*
**[18:48] Toki**
So this wasn't my last supper,
but my first appetizer.
**[18:53] Toki**
Very well. When I feel my time is about to come,
**[18:57] Toki**
I'll go to your diner and
ask for my last supper.
**[19:01] Toki**
You may pass through
**[19:02] Toki**
the first gate!
**[19:05] Rantabi**
Yeah, good work.
***SIGN*** Pass
***SIGN*** Pass
**[19:09] Soma**
Glad you liked it...
**[19:13] Asahi**
I guess he managed to pass that, at least.
**[19:15] Asahi**
But he probably didn't notice the
other pistol the old man had.
**[19:22] Toki**
* I thought I had no reason to live*
* anymore if I couldn't cook.*
**[19:27] Toki**
* That's why I thought after I had the*
* opportunity to appear in the BLUE,*
**[19:32] Toki**
*I'd take my own life.*
**[19:35] Toki**
* But I guess I won't have to use this pistol*
* loaded with a live round for a while now.*
**[19:41] Toki**
*Yeah...*
**[19:42] Toki**
* I guess I'll wander through the*
* endless horizon a bit longer.*
**[19:54] Soma**
Whew... He just whipped a pistol outta nowhere.
I actually panicked for a sec.
**[20:00] Guy**
Nakiri Erina-dono, we need you to stand by.
**[20:03] Erina**
All right.
**[20:05] Erina**
It's true that Noir might be something
greater than we can even fathom,
**[20:10] Erina**
but still, it'd be in your best
interest not to underestimate
**[20:14] Erina**
chefs on the outside, like Yukihira-kun.
**[20:20] Soma**
All right! I got through the first gate.
**[20:23] Soma**
But man, that sure was a weird theme.
**[20:26] Soma**
Was it just my group that got a weird one?
**[20:28] Taku**
Yukihira!
**[20:29] Soma**
Oh, hey, Takumi.
**[20:32] Soma**
Uh... The hell?
**[20:34] Taku**
I had to make a baby's first solid food.
**[20:37] Taku**
I couldn't use any ingredients
that could trigger any allergies,
**[20:40] Taku**
and I still managed to pass,
**[20:42] Taku**
but it was difficult to
make it somehow delicious.
**[20:46] Megu**
Soma-kun, Takumi-kun, great job.
**[20:49] Soma**
You passed, too, Tadokoro?
**[20:50] Megu**
Y-Yeah... My theme was a meal that
pets and pet owners could both enjoy.
**[20:55] Soma**
For real? Yeah, yours was plenty weird, too.
**[20:58] Taku**
Even the themes for this BLUE are eccentric.
**[21:02] Taku**
Previously, it was just a standard
gourmet cooking competition.
**[21:05] Soma**
Right? It's so weird, it's actually hilarious.
**[21:08] Taku**
There's nothing hilarious about this!
**[21:10] Megu**
Nakiri-san's not here yet?
**[21:12] Soma**
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen her.
**[21:22] Erina**
I see... So this is my trial?
**[21:26] Erina**
Very well! I'll take on anyone who faces me!
**[21:33] Anne**
* To all those who have passed,*
* the first gate has been opened.*
**[21:37] Anne**
*Please proceed.*
**[21:40] Anne**
*Next up is the second trial.*
**[21:42] Anne**
* Those who were exempted from the*
* first trial will join the competition here.*
**[21:52] Soma**
Huh...
**[21:56] Takumi**
That's—

Tadokoro and Aldini, too!
**[00:32] Tsuka**
Thank goodness there are people I know here!
**[00:35] Taku**
It's been a while.
**[00:36] Megu**
I guess you're participating
in the BLUE, too.
**[00:39] Tsuka**
Yeah, I received an invitation.
**[00:41] Tsuka**
But I've been surrounded by so many
famous chefs. I felt like withering away.
**[00:46] Tsuka**
And there are guys in creepy masks, too.
What the heck is Noir, anyway?
**[00:51] Soma**
Yeah, no kidding.
**[00:54] Tsuka**
Surprisingly, though,
I don't feel like I can lose.
**[00:58] Tsuka**
I might've gotten stronger
these past few months.
**[01:01] Soma**
I see.
**[01:03] Soma**
But we've gotten stronger, too.
**[01:05] Tsuka**
*Yeah, I look forward to seeing that.*
**[01:08] Anne**
*Let us now start the next trial.*
**[01:10] Anne**
*The stage for this next culinary battle*
**[01:13] Anne**
*was created specifically for this trial.*
**[01:15] Anne**
*As you can see, it's a convenience store.*

**[02:55] Rantabi**
All right, people. Out of my way.
**[02:57] Soma**
Hey, it's that one chick again.
**[03:01] Rantabi**
Hey, could you get me some water?
I'm dying of thirst here.
**[03:05] Rantabi**
I know I've met some of you already,
but I'll go ahead and introduce myself again.
**[03:09] Rantabi**
I'm a second-class adjudicator

***SIGN*** WGO Second-Class Adjudicator
Rantabi
**[03:12] Rantabi**
I'll explain the second trial now.
**[03:15] Rantabi**
As you're all aware,
**[03:16] Rantabi**
Japanese convenience stores have
a wide variety of things for sale.
**[03:20] Rantabi**
This trial involves those items.
**[03:22] Rantabi**
Why, thank you.
**[03:27] Rantabi**
You can use whatever you'd like from there.
**[03:29] Rantabi**
You'll use your items to prepare
a dish to serve to me.
**[03:35] Rantabi**
In order to pass...
**[03:37] Rantabi**
You'll have to create a dish
worth more than a hundred dollars.
**[03:41] Soma**
Huh?
**[03:42] Taku**
A hundred dollars?
**[03:43] Megu**
So around 10,000 yen?
**[03:45] Chef b**
Most convenience store items
cost a mere fraction of that.
**[03:49] Chef f**
And we have to make that 10,000 yen?
**[03:51] Chef g**
That's over a hundred dollars...
**[03:52] Rantabi**
Each person will get up to two chances.
**[03:54] Rantabi**
You have 60 minutes.
**[03:56] Rantabi**
Items that are used will be restocked,
but popular items may still sell out.
**[04:01] Rantabi**
Keep that in mind when you
come up with your recipes.
**[04:04] Rantabi**
All right, get to it!
**[04:12] Chef F**
It's true that you can find basic
ingredients at a convenience store, but...
**[04:15] Chef G**
No foie gras or truffles...
or aged meats or gibier.
**[04:19] Chef e**
No premium ingredients.
**[04:22] All**
What should we do?
**[04:23] Megu**
To think we'd have to use
convenience store items...
**[04:26] Taku**
A hundred dollars is basically on par
with a high-class French dish.
**[04:30] Taku**
There's no way any simple prep will
produce a dish of that level.
**[04:34] Tsuka**
Yukihira, why don't we have
our own little match?
**[04:37] Soma**
Huh?
**[04:38] Tsuka**
Let's see which one of our dishes
will bring in a bigger profit.
**[04:41] Tsuka**
It'll be good practice before we see
who's the best young chef in the world.
**[04:45] Soma**
Sounds good. I'm getting fired up.
**[04:48] Soma**
That's how the first seat should be!
***SIGN*** Former

**[05:01] Taku**
How dare you get fired up without me, Yukihira?
**[05:04] Megu**
*And now Takumi-kun is on fire, too!*
**[05:07] Soma**
Right, then. Guess I should—
**[05:09] Reporter**
Hey, out of the way.
**[05:10] Soma**
Whoa...
**[05:11] Reporter b**
* Tsukasa Eishi-kun! Congratulations*
* on getting into the BLUE!*
**[05:14] Reporter A**
* I hear everyone hopes you will be the*
* champion of the chefs on the outside.*
**[05:18] Reporter A**
*How are you feeling about that?*
**[05:19] Tsuka**
*Huh?*
**[05:19] Sao**
We're counting on you! You're the
star of the chefs on the outside!
**[05:22] Taku**
Looks like the press is here.
**[05:24] Soma**
Oizumi-san?
**[05:25] Oizumi**
Oh? Ah, Yukihira, my boy.
**[05:28] Oizumi**
I highly enjoyed your performance
at the BLUE Preliminaries.
**[05:32] Soma**
What are you doing here?
Are you one of the judges?
**[05:34] Oizumi**
No, we were invited by the
press to act as commentators.
***SIGN*** Director of Japanese Cuisine Industries Committee

**[05:39] Soma**
Huh... It sure is lively, though.
***SIGN*** Director of the

Seishu Saotome
**[05:42] Sao**
Of course it is.
**[05:43] Sao**
As chefs from the outside world, we don't
want someone from Noir to win the BLUE.
**[05:49] Oizumi**
And our biggest chance to stop them
from winning is Tsukasa Eishi himself.
**[05:56] Asahi**
* The former first seat of*
* the Totsuki Elite Ten, eh?*
**[05:59] Oizumi**
Though we're expecting great
things from you three, too.
**[06:02] Oizumi**
You are the current Elite Ten, after all.
**[06:05] Taku**
There's clearly a difference
in expectations.
**[06:08] Soma**
Now I really can't lose.
**[06:11] Soma**
We'll show you that we've also...
**[06:14] Taku**
...got a chance to win this thing!
**[06:15] Megu**
Y-Yeah!
**[06:17] Soma**
All right, first...
**[06:19] Soma**
Let's see what ingredients they have.
**[06:21] Megu**
Looks like there are plenty of vegetables.
**[06:23] Taku**
The meat... isn't bad,
but it's not great, either.
**[06:27] Megu**
We have to make something worth
more than 10,000 yen with this?
**[06:31] Soma**
That's probably the most crucial point.
**[06:33] Soma**
And that's my specialty!
**[06:35] Soma**
I'm gonna be the first in line!
**[06:38] Soma**
I'll need some of this...
**[06:39] Soma**
Now, then...
**[06:41] Soma**
The star of the show's gonna be this can:
**[06:44] Soma**
Yamatoni Beef!
**[06:46] Soma**
* After sautéeing some green onions and*
* shimeji mushrooms with sesame oil,*
**[06:50] Soma**
* I'll add in the Yamatoni Beef*
* along with its sauce.*
**[06:53] Soma**
*Then I'll add some tofu and let it stew,*
**[06:55] Soma**
* while adding some black pepper and*
* squeeze-tube ginger to enhance the flavors.*
**[06:58] Megu**
*Soma-kun's so fast!*
**[07:01] Taku**
*Looks like he got ahead of us.*
**[07:04] Soma**
Sorry to keep you waitin'.
**[07:05] Soma**
Here's your Instant Canned Beef Sukiyaki Set!
**[07:09] Oizumi**
That looks fantastic!
**[07:11] Sao**
But what about the taste?
**[07:17] Rantabi**
It's delicious.
**[07:19] Rantabi**
The beef is definitely the star of this dish.
**[07:22] Rantabi**
You made the flavors rich, yet not too heavy.
**[07:26] Rantabi**
How'd you bring out this depth?
**[07:29] Soma**
With this jam bread I found in the bread aisle!
***SIGN*** Strawberry
***SIGN*** Jam
**[07:32] Soma**
Well, the strawberry jam inside, to be exact.
**[07:34] Soma**
If you add a bit of this when stewing the meat,
**[07:38] Soma**
it adds a rich sweetness and
improves the flavor instantly!
**[07:43] Soma**
* Now, let's see what price*
* she's gonna put on this dish.*
**[07:46] Soma**
*Maybe about fifty dollars?*
**[07:48] Soma**
* Nah, maybe I'll get lucky and*
* get to a hundred instantly.*
**[07:52] Rantabi**
All right. I'll give you your results.
**[07:54] Rantabi**
Hand over your wallet.
**[07:56] Rantabi**
Minus fourteen dollars.
**[07:58] Soma**
Wha?
**[07:59] Rantabi**
Ugh! You only have yen!
**[08:01] Rantabi**
Oh, fine. Yen will have to do.
**[08:03] Soma**
Wait, stop! How the hell did I end up negative?!
**[08:06] Rantabi**
Why? Because you didn't read the
rules and wasted ingredients.
**[08:10] Rantabi**
Of course you have to compensate for that.
**[08:13] Soma**
Wait, fourteen dollars?
***SIGN*** Receipt

**[08:16] Soma**
You mean the total I just spent?
**[08:19] Soma**
* Meaning I couldn't get any value out of*
* this dish and just wasted the ingredients?*
**[08:25] Rantabi**
Ugh! I mean, you only get two chances,
so you're free to experiment,
**[08:29] Rantabi**
but WGO funds aren't infinite, you know!
**[08:32] Soma**
You say that after building
a convenience store?
**[08:34] Rantabi**
Anyway, what I'm saying is that your
dish was nothing more than addition.
**[08:40] Tsuka**
Well, you heard her.
**[08:42] Tsuka**
I hope this suits your tastes.
**[08:44] Rantabi**
This is...

Beef and Chicken Recital With
Demi-Glace Accompaniment.
**[08:52] Oizumi**
It looks so exquisite!
**[08:54] Sao**

**[09:01] Rantabi**
I see. You're Tsukasa Eishi-kun, one of
the graduates from Totsuki Academy.
**[09:06] Rantabi**
It looks like you understand the assignment.
**[09:12] Rantabi**
* The tart aroma of the demi-glace*
* sauce is exacerbating my hunger...*
**[09:20] Rantabi**
*How dignified!*
**[09:22] Rantabi**
* The two layers of filling wrapped in pie crust*
* are enhancing the flavors in harmony!*
**[09:27] Rantabi**
*The top layer is chicken mousse.*
**[09:29] Rantabi**
* He added heavy cream to juicy cooked*
* chicken and whisked them together.*
**[09:34] Rantabi**
* And the lower layer is minced*
* meat made mostly of beef.*
**[09:37] Rantabi**
*It goes perfectly with the demi-glace sauce.*
**[09:40] Rantabi**
*It's basically perfection!*
**[09:42] Rantabi**
*For this dish,*
**[09:44] Rantabi**
* I might even want to offer*
* something money can't buy!*
**[09:50] Soma**
That's Tsukasa-senpai for you!
**[09:52] Chef F**
But he just used convenience
store items, didn't he?
**[09:54] Chef E**
There's no way it can be *that* good.
**[09:56] Rantabi**
You're wrong. The way he prepared the
dish enhanced it to another level.
**[10:00] Tsuka**
I didn't really do anything that amazing.
**[10:03] Tsuka**
Well, let's see...
**[10:06] Tsuka**
For the chicken mousse,
I added egg whites whisked to
**[10:10] Tsuka**
a stiff meringue to enhance the texture.
**[10:13] Tsuka**
Then I added mushroom paste
and duxelles to add to the richness.
***SIGN*** Mushrooms
(Whole)
**[10:18] Tsuka**
Canned mushrooms have a slightly pungent odor,
**[10:21] Tsuka**
so I chopped them up and sautéed them
to get rid of most of the moisture,
**[10:25] Tsuka**
which eliminated the odor completely.
**[10:27] Tsuka**
I also reduced some cheap
red wine as far as I could,
**[10:30] Tsuka**
leaving only its umami components,
**[10:31] Tsuka**
and added that to the demi-glace sauce.
**[10:34] Rantabi**
Ingredients that get used at
high-end restaurants tend to
***SIGN*** Bitterness
***SIGN*** Umami
***SIGN*** Saltiness
***SIGN*** Tartness
***SIGN*** Sweetness
**[10:37] Rantabi**
lean toward one attribute over others.
***SIGN*** Bitterness
***SIGN*** Umami
***SIGN*** Saltiness
***SIGN*** Tartness
***SIGN*** Sweetness
**[10:41] Rantabi**
But items at the convenience store
**[10:43] Rantabi**
are balanced so that they'll be
enjoyable to a wider audience.
**[10:46] Rantabi**
Meaning the flavor is universally balanced.
**[10:50] Rantabi**
That applies to the precooked hamburger,
prepackaged chicken breast,
**[10:53] Rantabi**
and frozen pie crust that
Tsukasa Eishi used for this dish.
**[10:56] Rantabi**
None of those items would
suffice alone for this trial.
**[10:58] Rantabi**
So he used the parts of those ingredients
that he could put in a high-end dish,
**[11:02] Rantabi**
and made sure they all worked
together in harmony.
**[11:06] Rantabi**
He was only able to get to this
level because of his skills.
**[11:10] Megu**
Amazing... Tsukasa-senpai was
only able to pull this off
**[11:12] Megu**
to perfection because of his understanding
of all the ingredients.
**[11:16] Taku**
Yeah.
**[11:17] Taku**
He definitely leveled up after he left Totsuki.
**[11:20] Asahi**
* I see... So that's what they mean by*
* "communicating with the ingredients."*
**[11:24] Rantabi**
All right, here's your result.
**[11:26] Rantabi**
Plus...
**[11:28] Rantabi**
587 dollars.
**[11:30] All**
No way!
**[11:38] Rantabi**
You there.
**[11:39] Soma**
Huh? Me?
**[11:40] Rantabi**
You said you worked at a diner, right?
**[11:43] Rantabi**
If you served that dish you just served me,
**[11:45] Rantabi**
would you be able to ask your customers
to pay 10,000 yen for that?
**[11:48] Soma**
Huh? Well... nope.
**[11:51] Rantabi**
Spoken with no shame at all...
**[11:52] Rantabi**
Which means you just added
ingredients together.
**[11:57] Rantabi**
You're not going to pass this trial
using methods anyone could pull off.
**[12:02] Rantabi**
You have to find the best ingredients
**[12:04] Rantabi**
and exponentially multiply their
goodness as much as possible.
**[12:06] Rantabi**
That's what it takes to be a pro!
**[12:10] Rantabi**
Though, of course... nothing at
a diner would cost 10,000 yen.
**[12:15] Rantabi**
I guess this trial might
be too difficult for you.
**[12:18] Soma**
Nah, I wouldn't say so.
**[12:21] Soma**
I have just the dish that's going
to be perfect for this trial.
**[12:25] Soma**
Just watch.
**[12:27] Soma**
I'll make a dish worth a couple hundred dollars
**[12:30] Soma**
that's worthy of the Yukihira name.
**[12:43] Rantabi**
Hey, you. You've already
been judged, so get going.
**[12:47] Rantabi**
Oh, and take this with you.
**[12:49] Tsuka**
Huh?
**[12:49] Tsuka**
Jeez... They're all ones...
**[12:53] ---**
Hmm...
***SIGN*** Cooking Empire

***SIGN*** The Chef Everyone Has

**[13:05] Rantabi**
* Meanwhile, the current first seat,*
* Yukihira Soma, is...*
**[13:11] Rantabi**
Hey!
**[13:13] Rantabi**
Why do you have all that stuff?!
Don't go wasting the limited stock!
**[13:16] Soma**
What? I'm gonna use it all, though. Don't worry.
**[13:19] Soma**
Just look forward to it.
**[13:25] Rantabi**
What's with that guy?
**[13:27] Chef F**
Unbelievable.
**[13:28] Chef E**
He doesn't have a single ingredient that
looks like it could be made into a main dish.
***SIGN*** The Perfect Side
Stewed Sweet Potatoes
***SIGN*** Cooked
Rice
***SIGN*** Imitation Crab Meat
***SIGN*** Flavorful Smoked
Prosciutto
**[13:32] Chef G**
He just keeps opening up random ingredients
and indiscriminately throwing them together.
***SIGN*** 100%
Orange
***SIGN*** The Perfect Side
Stewed Kombu,
Konjac, and Bamboo Shoots
**[13:37] Chef G**
It's clear that he just doesn't care anymore.
**[13:40] Oizumi**
What in the world is Yukihira trying to make?
**[13:44] Rantabi**
Yeah, your second dish didn't
reach a hundred, either.
***SIGN*** Fail
**[13:47] Rantabi**
You fail! You fail! And you fail!
**[13:52] Rantabi**
Looks like Tsukasa Eishi might be
the only one to pass this trial.
**[13:58] Rantabi**
Ugh, you're back again?
**[14:01] Soma**
Come on, now.
**[14:03] Soma**
Here ya go.
**[14:04] Soma**
My Out-Of-Season Super Osechi Set.
**[14:06] Oizumi**
Osechi?! Unbelievable!
**[14:08] Sao**
Look at the number of side dishes he made!
**[14:11] Sao**
That must've been an immense amount of work.
**[14:13] Sao**
He pulled that off in this
short amount of time?
**[14:15] Soma**
Even back home, we'd take osechi orders.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Diner
**[14:19] Soma**
This time, I decided to add
a few personal touches.
**[14:22] Rantabi**
Hmph. This is all just superficial nonsense.
**[14:25] Rantabi**
Authentic osechi sets from established
Japanese cuisine restaurants
**[14:29] Rantabi**
use only the best ingredients
and take weeks to prepare.
**[14:32] Rantabi**
I can hardly imagine this being
a dish fit for this trial.
**[14:35] Soma**
Well, you'll have to taste
it to find out, won't you?
**[14:37] Soma**
Dig in.
**[14:44] Rantabi**
See? I knew it.
**[14:45] Rantabi**
This is on par with your
negative-fourteen-dollar from earlier.
**[14:49] Rantabi**
You didn't multiply anything.
**[14:51] Rantabi**
You can keep adding negatives all
you want, but you'll still have a negative.
**[14:54] Rantabi**
Do you want to go bankrupt or something?
**[15:12] Oizumi**
What's going on? Despite everything
she just said, she won't stop eating!
**[15:17] Sao**
What kinds of secrets lie in those side dishes?
**[15:20] Soma**
Nah, I didn't do anything special.
**[15:24] Soma**
The kurikinton chestnuts are just
prepackaged stewed sweet potatoes.
***SIGN*** 100%
Orange
**[15:28] Soma**
I simmered them in orange
juice and mashed them up.
**[15:30] Soma**
Usually, you use gardenia fruit
**[15:32] Soma**
to color the dish orange,
but I used orange juice instead,
***SIGN*** 100%
Orange
**[15:36] Soma**
making it more of a joke kurikinton
made out of potatoes.
**[15:39] Soma**
The rolled omelet is made out of eggs
and hanpen I found in the oden corner.
**[15:42] Soma**
I blended them in a mixer with sugar and salt,
**[15:45] Soma**
then fried them up in an omelet pan.
**[15:47] Soma**
For the red and white salad,
**[15:48] Soma**
I seasoned a regular salad with salt,
sugar, and vinegar, and presto!
**[15:51] Soma**
A red and white salad.
**[15:53] Soma**
Salting the vegetables draws
out most of the moisture
**[15:55] Soma**
and allows the sweet vinegar
to soak in even better.
**[15:58] Soma**
Checkered prosciutto rolls.
**[15:59] [SONG] Sign**
Flavorful Smoked
Prosciutto
**[16:00] Soma**
I took some daikon radish
and carrots cut into sticks,
**[16:02] Soma**
and wrapped them in prosciutto.
**[16:04] Soma**
Then I used honey and
mustard as glue on the inside
**[16:07] Soma**
of the prosciutto to hold them all together.
**[16:09] Sao**
He's made excellent use
of all the ingredients...
**[16:12] Oizumi**
But I can't see that being
enough to satisfy that judge.
**[16:15] Rantabi**
How terrifying... This osechi
set is a full-course meal.
**[16:19] Rantabi**
No matter where you start eating and
no matter what order you eat them in,
**[16:24] Rantabi**
it's all made harmoniously, to make
you want to eat the next item.
**[16:27] Rantabi**
In other words, there's no set
path in this course meal!
**[16:29] Rantabi**
This is the most freeform course
meal that I've ever had!
**[16:33] Oizumi**
Wh-What?!
**[16:35] Sao**
He managed to pull off such a complicated
menu in a matter of minutes?
**[16:38] Soma**
Yeah, well...
**[16:40] Soma**
It probably wouldn't have worked
without convenience store ingredients.
**[16:43] Soma**
Because I had ingredients that had already
been prepped, cooked, and seasoned,
**[16:47] Soma**
it didn't take me too long to prepare.
**[16:49] Soma**
I was only able to make this osechi set
because I used convenience store items.
**[16:54] Rantabi**
* He completely ignored multiplying*
* the goodness of the ingredients,*
**[16:57] Rantabi**
* and yet managed to pull off a high-end*
* cuisine level of harmony in his dish.*
**[16:59] Rantabi**
*Is this even possible?!*
**[17:01] Rantabi**
* He seriously approached this*
* trial with addition alone again!*
**[17:06] Soma**
So... how about you give me my total now?
**[17:10] Soma**
I wonder who's gonna go bankrupt here.
**[17:13] Rantabi**
H-Hang on a sec! I'm sorry,
okay?! Please forgive me!
**[17:17] Soma**
Ain't happenin'.
**[17:19] Soma**
I'll need you to pay your dues even if it
means takin' the very shirt off your back!

**[17:32] Soma**
Glad you liked it!
**[17:36] Soma**
So? How much was I worth? Well?
**[17:41] Rantabi**
Hang on a second.
**[17:43] Rantabi**
Crap... I don't have any more dollars on me.
**[17:46] Rantabi**
Um... Well, I...
**[17:50] Rantabi**
Here! I think there's about a hundred there!
**[17:53] Soma**
Huh? Wait, uh...
**[17:54] Rantabi**
We're taking a short break!
**[17:55] Rantabi**
I gotta go get some more ones right now!
**[17:57] Soma**
U-Uh, hey!
**[17:59] Soma**
So how much was I worth?!
**[18:01] Rantabi**
Shut up! Who cares?! You passed, okay?!
**[18:03] Soma**
But I'm supposed to be duking
it out with Tsukasa-senpai—
**[18:05] Tsuka**
Now, now... It's okay, Yukihira.
**[18:08] Asahi**
I never get bored watching you, Yukihira Soma.
**[18:12] Asahi**
Though I don't know how far
you're gonna make it.
**[18:14] Asahi**
I wonder how Princess Erina's doing.
**[18:22] Guy**
All the challengers have lost.
**[18:24] Guy**
There will be no rematches.
**[18:26] Guy**
Thus, Nakiri Erina has passed her first trial.
**[18:33] Guy**
We will now commence the revenge match
for the losers at the second gate.
**[18:40] Erina**
Very well. I accept your challenge.
**[18:44] Anne**
Reporting, Bookmaster.
**[18:46] Anne**
Miss Nakiri Erina has
completed her first trial.
**[18:49] Anne**
She is now about to begin—
**[18:50] Mom**
Let me know about the other participants.
**[18:53] Anne**
Right. The trial at the second
gate has just concluded.
**[18:58] Anne**
Half of the outside chefs have fallen,
**[19:00] Anne**
and all of the underworld chefs have passed.
**[19:05] Mom**
That means the opening act is over.
**[19:08] Mom**
Let us inform them at the next gate
**[19:11] Mom**
just what this BLUE has in store for them.
**[19:17] Rantabi**
You pass!
**[19:18] Taku**
Grazie!
**[19:19] Rantabi**
You pass, too.
**[19:21] Megu**
Thank you very much!
**[19:22] Soma**
Man... Thanks for spotting me this.
**[19:26] Tsuka**
Well... I don't know what I'd
do with all those ones, anyway.
**[19:30] Soma**
But I'm not gonna let you have the victory.
**[19:33] Tsuka**
Yeah, and I don't intend to lose, either.
**[19:36] Tsuka**
For Rindo's sake, too.
**[19:38] Soma**
Oh, yeah. Rindo-senpai's not
participating in the BLUE?
**[19:42] tsuka**
She got an invite,
**[19:44] tsuka**
but she's running around the world going
after poachers who deal in rare animals.
**[19:49] Soma**
Wow, I guess that's the rare
ingredients master for you.
**[19:52] Tsuka**
But it appears that those poachers
have connections to Noir.
**[19:57] Soma**
Huh?
**[19:59] Tsuka**
In order to lessen Rindo's burden,
I don't want to let Noir run free.
**[20:05] Soma**
You seem to have changed a bit, Tsukasa-senpai.
**[20:08] Tsuka**
You think so?
**[20:09] Rantabi**
Hey!
**[20:11] Rantabi**
No loitering in front of the convenience store!
**[20:13] Soma**
Whoa, you scared me!
**[20:14] Rantabi**
All right. Everyone who passed, gather round.
**[20:17] Rantabi**
We're opening up the second gate!
**[20:33] Tsuka**
It's all the Noir members who
were exempt up until now.
**[20:36] Soma**
So you're saying those three rank higher than
Tsukasa-senpai, according to the admins here?
**[20:42] Soma**
Tsukasa-senpai! Don't let
them treat you like that!
**[20:44] Tsuka**
Why are you getting mad, Yukihira?
**[20:47] Tran**
We will now begin the third trial...

Huh? No! Not at all...
**[20:58] Tran**
May I help you, Bookmaster?
**[21:01] Mom**
* I thought I would add a supplementary*
* prize for the winner to this year's BLUE.*
**[21:07] Megu**
Supplementary prize?
**[21:08] Soma**
I don't think it's gonna be a trophy.
**[21:11] Mom**
*I will allow whoever wins this BLUE*
**[21:14] Mom**
*to be my own personal chef.*
**[21:18] Rantabi**
The Bookmaster's own personal chef?!
**[21:21] Soma**
Is that amazing or something?
**[21:22] Rantabi**
Of course it is!
**[21:24] Rantabi**
The Bookmaster is one of the most
important figures in the gourmet world!
**[21:28] Tran**
They will serve meals at

**[21:31] Tran**
and receive an impressive annual salary.
**[21:34] Tran**
It's a very enticing deal, young man.

*But in exchange,*

**[00:50] Chef K**
Uh, what?
**[00:52] Chef H**
Why Noir?
**[00:53] Chef J**
I thought the BLUE was for normal chefs.
**[00:55] Mom**
The goal of the BLUE is to
have top young chefs compete,
**[01:00] Mom**
but I have my own personal reasons
for holding this particular tournament.
**[01:07] Megumi**
Personal reasons?
**[01:09] Mom**
To find someone who can create a dish
this world has yet to even fathom.
**[01:15] Mom**
I've tasted everything there is
to taste throughout the world.
**[01:18] Mom**
There's nothing left but a dead end.
**[01:20] Mom**
There's no one left on the
outside who can grant my wish.
**[01:24] Takumi**
That's why Noir is here?
**[01:26] Mom**
My expectations are only high for
the underworld chefs in this event.
**[01:31] Chef K**
I fight on the front lines of cuisine.
**[01:34] Chef K**
What's the underworld got on me?
**[01:36] Sarge**
And I cringe at the sight of
you chefs on the outside.
**[01:41] Niku**
Here's the beef tenderloin you ordered.
**[01:43] Tran**
Good.
**[01:44] Sarge**
So you want me to make a
gourmet dish with that meat?
**[01:47] Sarge**
Very well!
**[01:52] Chef**
What's her deal? She's just
preparing it normally.
**[01:55] Chef K**
And she's saying she's better than us?
**[01:57] Soma**
Huh...
**[01:58] Niku**
But she's being extremely
precise with the heat.
**[02:01] Niku**
She's using the umami of
the juices to its fullest.
**[02:05] Soma**
Nikumi?!
**[02:06] Niku**
Shh!
**[02:08] Megu**
Mito-san?
**[02:09] Taku**
What are you doing here?
**[02:10] Niku**
The Mito Group got an order for some meat.
**[02:13] Niku**
They don't allow an audience at
the BLUE until the main event,
**[02:16] Niku**
but I figured I'd be able to check
it out as someone from the industry.
**[02:19] Megu**
I see.
**[02:21] Niku**
And I have some information on Noir...
**[02:25] Niku**
From Eizan-senpai.
**[02:26] Taku**
From Eizan-senpai?
***SIGN*** Totsuki Elite Ten Eighth Seat

It's like one of those spy movies!
**[02:35] All**
Shh!
**[02:36] Tsuka**
She's making her move.
**[02:37] Sarge**
Now, let's get this party started.
**[02:42] K**
She's using that to cook?
**[02:44] J**
She's bluffing.
**[02:45] H**
There's no way she could use a chainsaw.
**[02:48] Sarge**
Don't you dare call this a chainsaw.
**[02:50] Sarge**
This is my own personal carving knife.
**[02:53] Tsuka**
I'd call that a weapon rather than a knife.
**[02:57] Taku**
What does she plan to do with that thing?
**[03:02] H**
Why is she damaging the meat
she cooked to perfection?
**[03:06] K**
She's ruining the quality.
**[03:09] Meg**
No... She's not harming it. She's...

Go on, give it a taste.
**[04:50] Sarge**
A dish created by someone
from the underworld.
**[04:53] K**
Very well.
**[05:01] K**
*What?!*
**[05:02] K**
*It's so unbelievably juicy!*
**[05:04] K**
* It just melts on my tongue, and the*
* deliciousness bursts throughout my body!*
**[05:10] J**
* The more I chew, the more I can taste*
* the sweet saltiness and flavor!*
**[05:15] H**
*This isn't even meat anymore!*
**[05:17] H**
* To think she was able to make*
* it taste this delicious!*
**[05:19] Megu**
I knew it. There must be some kind
of secret to that chainsaw knife.
**[05:24] Tsuka**
Correct. It actually seasons the meat.
**[05:27] Tsuka**
She applied seasoning spices
to each of the claws on her blade.
**[05:32] Tsuka**
As the blades ripped apart the meat,
**[05:35] Tsuka**
those spices entered
the very fibers of the meat.
**[05:38] Tsuka**
She managed to create something
delicious on multiple levels
**[05:41] Tsuka**
that couldn't be made with normal methods.
**[05:45] Old**
There's no way she can make something so
delicious by doing something that absurd!
**[05:52] Old**
Impossible!
**[05:53] Old**
*This deliciousness is on a specialty's level!*
**[05:59] Tran**
This is the real deal.
***SIGN*** Tranchant
***SIGN*** Maturite
***SIGN*** Essor
**[06:01] Tran**
Had she missed by even a few millimeters,
**[06:03] Tran**
the meat's fibers would have been torn apart,
**[06:05] Tran**
destroying the meat's juices and texture.
**[06:08] Matur**
The technique she used on this dish
was violent, yet extremely light scoring.
**[06:14] Matur**
I can't fathom how she could've
delicately applied the cuts like this.
**[06:18] Essor**
This is indeed an amazing
dish that only she could make.
**[06:23] Sarge**
Answer me!
**[06:24] Sarge**
Could filth like you season something better?
**[06:29] K**
This cooking method goes beyond
the history of gourmet...
**[06:33] H**
We don't stand a chance!
**[06:36] J**
It's no use... It's too delicious!

You all look so down!

We'll need to turn those frowns

First, we trim the meat! Chop, chop, chop!

Speckle, speckle, salt the
meat, speckle-di-doo!
**[07:41] Niku**
Special pots that become a ball
when you put them together.
**[07:44] Niku**
All the spinning creates centrifugal force,
**[07:46] Niku**
and there's a heating element
inside that grills the meat.
**[07:49] Niku**
Together, those forces keep the
meat under a set pressure,
**[07:53] Niku**
heating it equally throughout.
**[07:55] Niku**
And because of that,
**[07:57] Niku**
the meat ends up far more tender than any
standard pressure cooker could make it.
**[08:03] Clown**

Leave it to that Noir member,

Even in French cuisine,

there are countless dishes that
emphasize the deliciousness of blood.
**[08:48] Taku**
But to think he made something
that high-quality so fast.
**[08:51] Old**
That other Noir guy brought
out something strange, too.
**[08:55] Guy**
A guillotine?
**[08:58] Bunn**
I'll have you know,
**[09:00] Bunn**
the more I torment the ingredients,
the more delicious they become.
**[09:08] Bunn**
Now, become even more delicious!
I'll torment you even more and more and more!
**[09:15] Guy**
She's slicing the meat so thin,
it's almost transparent!
**[09:18] Old**
And with a guillotine!

So thin!
**[10:01] Asahi**
This is how powerful the
chefs of the underworld...
**[10:03] Asahi**
how powerful Noir is.
**[10:05] Asahi**
No matter the place, no matter the situation,
**[10:09] Asahi**
no matter the ingredients,
**[10:11] Asahi**
they can turn their dish into
something with a specialty's quality.
**[10:14] Asahi**
Think you guys on the outside
can reach that level?
**[10:18] Tsuka**
In other words, we just need
to make a specialty, right?
**[10:24] Tsuka**
*In that case...*
**[10:25] Tsuka**
*I'll face my dish with everything I have.*
**[10:29] Megu**
The quality of that meat...
Judging from the amount of fat,
**[10:33] Megu**
the best way to prepare it is...
***SIGN*** Charm for Academic Success
**[10:35] Taku**
All right.
**[10:38] Miku**

**[10:40] Megu**
Okay.
**[10:41] Tsuka**
*Come here. Don't be frightened.*
**[10:44] Tsuka**
*Now, let's slice you up.*
**[10:54] Tran**
Well, this is a surprise.
**[10:56] Tran**
To be able to grate springy
raw meat so precisely...
**[11:00] Tran**
It would be impossible without great skill.
***SIGN*** The White Knight

**[11:13] Sarge**
But what about the rest of you?
**[11:16] Sarge**
You weaklings!
**[11:17] Sarge**
If you lack the resolve to
stand in the kitchen...
**[11:19] Sarge**
Get out of my sight!
**[11:22] Niku**
You've got this, right, Yukihira?
**[11:24] Soma**
Yeah, I dunno.
**[11:27] Soma**
But I guess...
**[11:29] Soma**
I'll just have to make something
I think tastes good.
**[11:32] Niku**
*Megumi, Aldini, Yukihira...*

**[12:14] Megu**
We somehow made it to the main event,
but I wonder what this is.
**[12:20] Taku**
I know the competition is
tournament-style from here on out,
**[12:23] Taku**
but this is rather unclear.
**[12:25] Taku**
We won't know who we're up against
until the admins announce it.
***SIGN*** Person

It's okay to be more confident.
**[12:39] Megu**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[12:41] Taku**
Thank you.
**[12:42] Eishi**
And Yukihira, too—
**[12:44] Megu**
Oh, Soma-kun's in the bathroom!
**[12:49] Soma**
Where the hell did Nakiri go?
**[12:52] Guy**
Yes. The third revenge match is about to begin.
**[12:55] Niku**
Yukihira, why are you dawdling here?!
**[12:59] Soma**
What did he mean by "revenge match"?
**[13:01] Niku**
Oh. I heard they're giving all the people
who lost so far a second chance.
**[13:05] Soma**
Huh...
**[13:07] Niku**
But one super-strong chef is taking
on all of the losers on their own.
**[13:11] Soma**
On their own?!
**[13:13] Soma**
Who the heck is that? They're that strong?
**[13:15] Niku**
Uh, I don't know that much...
***SIGN*** BLUE Administration
Yukihira Soma-sama,

**[13:25] Guy**
We will now begin the third revenge match.
**[13:30] Erina**
I must win, no matter what.
**[13:35] Erina**
Even if that's not what she desires!
**[13:45] Ran**
Welcome to the venue for the BLUE main event.
**[13:48] Ran**
The chefs gathered here are all contenders
who passed the first three trials...
**[13:54] Ran**
In other words, only those seeded
into this tournament are here.
**[13:57] Ran**
Everything up until this point
was a preliminary round.
**[14:00] Ran**
We will now begin the main event.
**[14:02] Ran**
Now, allow me to introduce the chefs
who will be competing in the first round.
**[14:06] Megu**
Huh?
**[14:08] Ran**
In the red corner, the lady
sergeant of Noir, Sarge!
**[14:13] Ran**
And in the blue corner, the current

**[14:19] Ran**
Yukihira Soma!
**[14:20] Sarge**
Hmph. I guess I'm supposed

Hey, how do you know Saiba Asahi?
**[14:37] Sarge**
That's none of your business.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Asahi**
*Now, then... Time to keep your promise.*
**[14:45] (Flashback) Asahi**
You said I could do
**[14:46] (Flashback) Asahi**
whatever I wanted with you if I beat
you in a cooking battle, right?
**[14:50] (Flashback) Sarge**
I will not go back on my word.
**[14:51] (Flashback) Asahi**
In that case, I guess I won't hold back.
**[14:56] (Flashback) Asahi**
You have nowhere to call home, right?
**[15:00] (Flashback) Asahi**
I'll let you join me.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Asahi**
So would you help me realize my ambition?
**[15:07] Sarge**
* To me, he is a supreme*
* commander I must obey.*
**[15:10] Sarge**
* In order to make sure you don't*
* cause Asahi-sama any more trouble,*
**[15:14] Sarge**
*I'm going to make you disappear here and now,*
**[15:16] Sarge**
*Yukihira Soma.*

**[15:39] Lady**
Christmas cake?
**[15:40] Guy**
But it's August right now.
**[15:42] Guy**
What's going on?
**[15:44] Soma**
Cake, huh? I learned the basics
in class, but that's about it.
**[15:49] Ran**
You have three hours.
**[15:51] Ran**
Now... Begin cooking!
**[15:57] Old**
They're waiting...
**[15:58] Guy**
What's going on over there?
**[16:00] Sarge**
Behold, Yukihira Soma.
**[16:03] Sarge**
I will now show you the true
meaning of the Armed Dish!
**[16:07] Meg**
She couldn't possibly...
**[16:08] Niku**
She put egg whites and granulated
sugar in a bowl and...
**[16:10] Both**
...shoved that into it!
**[16:12] Taku**
Amazing... She's somehow able to make
such a delicate meringue with that thing.
**[16:17] Mat**
That blade is slightly different from the
one she used to prepare the meat dish.
**[16:22] Mat**
It appears to have intricate attachments
that she changes depending on the dish.
**[16:27] Ess**
And that's how she was able to create
**[16:30] Ess**
such fine foam and beautiful meringue.
**[16:32] Tran**
One wrong move, and the bowl could go flying,
**[16:37] Tran**
but she has complete control
as she prepares her dish.
**[16:39] Tsuka**
To think she can use her chain carving
knife when baking a cake, too...
**[16:46] Niku**
A sledgehammer?!
**[16:52] Megu**
She completely shattered that
bar of chocolate in an instant!
**[16:55] Lady**
What a dangerous dish!
**[16:57] Guy**
How exciting!
**[16:59] Guy**
Show us more, Sergeant Sarge!
**[17:02] Sarge**
Just shut up and watch, audience.
**[17:04] Sarge**
Here come the final touches.
**[17:07] Old**
That's clearly a bomb detonator.
Is she going to set something off?
**[17:10] Guy**
Look!
**[17:12] Guy**
There are some thin sheets resembling
pastry sheets in the oven.
**[17:15] Old**
Is it some kind of oven that's been
specially modified to bake that cake?
**[17:20] Sarge**
If you want to keep your
eardrums, cover your ears!
**[17:31] Niku**
What the hell?!
**[17:32] Megu**
But something smells really nice.
**[17:34] Taku**
Yes. The sweet aroma of baked
pastry sheets has filled the arena.
**[17:39] Megu**
Wait, Soma-kun's gone.
**[17:41] Niku**
Don't tell me he got blown away by the blast!
**[17:43] Tsuka**
Yukihira stepped out a moment ago.
**[17:46] All**
What?!
**[17:47] Tsuka**
Oh, he's back.
**[17:48] Megu**
Wait.
**[17:50] Niku**
Did he go shopping at the convenience store?
**[17:52] Taku**
While he was wasting time doing that,
his opponent has already...
**[17:56] Sarge**
It's done.
**[17:59] Guy**
It's impossible to think something so
beautiful came from something so chaotic.
**[18:02] Old**
Such an exquisite cake.
**[18:05] Old**
The young maiden within me is so excited.
**[18:09] Sarge**
Now, eat!
**[18:12] Tran**
It's so colorful. I'm sure
this will liven any party.
**[18:19] Ran**
The judges will now taste the dish.
**[18:22] Tran**
*The mouthfeel is soft as snow.*
**[18:25] Tran**
* The crunchy pastry sheets baked*
* in the special explosion oven*
**[18:29] Tran**
*have been stacked like a mille feuille.*
**[18:32] Mat**
* As soon as you take a bite, the sheets*
* melt in your mouth along with the sweet,*
**[18:37] Mat**
*delicate meringue created with the chainsaw.*
**[18:41] Esso**
* What's going on? Suddenly, there's a*
* rich sweetness exploding in my mouth.*
**[18:45] Sarge**
I call them cluster chocolate chips.
**[18:48] Sarge**
I mixed chocolate, almond powder,
**[18:50] Sarge**
and mint together, then froze
it to give it extra crunch.
**[18:54] Sarge**
Then, after shattering it
with my sledgehammer,
**[18:56] Sarge**
I mixed it with the pastry sheets and exploded
them at the perfect temperature.
**[19:01] Sarge**
Because of that, the pastry sheets
shielded the chocolate from the blast,
**[19:05] Sarge**
turning the consistency and texture into
baked chocolate rather than melting it.
**[19:08] Sarge**
Once you eat it, it causes
continuous blasts in your mouth,
**[19:12] Sarge**
just like a cluster bomb.
**[19:15] Sarge**
That is my Cluster Bomb Cake
**[19:17] Sarge**
in its entirety!
**[19:19] Mat**
* The exquisite meringue*
* made with the chainsaw...*
**[19:22] Ess**
*The explosively delicious pastry sheets...*
**[19:25] Tran**
* And the cluster chocolate chips*
* created with the sledgehammer...*
**[19:29] All**
*This is truly an Armed Dish.*
**[19:32] Esso**
Give me a present, Santa-san!
**[19:36] Sarge**
New Merry Happy.
**[19:40] Three**
* This party's so perfect,*
* it's like New Year's, Christmas,*
**[19:44] Three**
*and our birthdays all rolled into one!*
**[19:47] Sarge**
Now it's your turn, Yukihira Soma.
**[19:51] Sarge**
Just try to make something
as delicious as this.
**[19:55] Soma**
That chainsaw of yours is super cool.
**[19:58] Soma**
But you see, I have a chainsaw, too.
**[20:03] Niku**
Chainsaw?
**[20:04] Megu**
Soma-kun has one, too?
**[20:06] Taku**
No way...
**[20:07] Soma**
It's right here.
**[20:08] Sarge**
What... the hell?
**[20:11] Niku**
That's a chainsaw?
**[20:13] Tsuka**
I'm pretty sure that's a wooden ice cream spoon.
**[20:17] Sarge**
You dare mock me?!
**[20:20] Sarge**
You dare face my Armed Dish with that?!
**[20:24] Soma**
Nah, I'm not mocking you or anything.
**[20:27] Soma**
It's not just this wooden spoon. All this
stuff I bought at the convenience store
**[20:31] Soma**
should act as the deciding
factor in my dish.
**[20:34] Soma**
I hope the party guests don't
mind waiting just a little longer.
**[20:37] Soma**
I'll make you a kick-ass cake
that's perfect for summer.
**[20:41] Sarge**
* He's clearly fooling around.*
* What is he thinking?*
**[20:45] Soma**
First, I need some cream that can
go up against that meringue.
***SIGN*** Soy Milk
***SIGN*** Silken Tofu
**[20:49] Soma**
And I'm gonna make it with this!
**[20:51] Niku**
Tofu and soy milk...
**[20:52] Niku**
He's mixing them together with
bananas and cocoa powder.
**[20:57] Taku**
He'll definitely be able to make
a unique cream with that.
**[20:59] Soma**
And as for the batter, I'll be using this!
**[21:02] Niku**
Japanese yam?!
**[21:05] Sarge**
*He's mixing grated yam into the cake batter?*
**[21:12] Old**
I smell a sizzling, robust scent.
**[21:15] Guy**
It's charcoal! He's baking the
cake batter with charcoal!
**[21:19] Mat**
It's true that the far infrared
rays from the charcoal
**[21:22] Mat**
should bake a nice and fluffy cake.
**[21:25] Ess**
I'm not sure how Japanese cooking
methods will work with cake-making...
**[21:29] Tsuka**
Not bad, Yukihira.
**[21:31] Tsuka**
He's perfecting his dish one step at a time.
**[21:34] Niku**
I've seen him work so many times...
**[21:36] Megu**
It's such a difficult task,
but he looks so happy and lively.
**[21:39] Taku**
That's our Yukihira!
**[21:44] Soma**
It's done.
**[21:49] Asahi**
Oh?
**[21:51] Tsuka**
Wow...
**[21:54] All**
Firework shells?!
**[21:57] Soma**

Firework shells?!
**[00:16] Megu**
That's a bûche de Noël, right?
**[00:18] Taku**
Yeah. It's a cake that you eat during
Christmas, made to look like a tree trunk.
**[00:24] Taku**
But why add those firework shells
that don't go with the look at all?
**[00:28] Essor**
This is brilliantly made.
**[00:30] Essor**
The design of the bark almost looks real.
**[00:33] Soma**
Oh, you noticed, huh?
I put a lot of work into that...
**[00:37] Soma**
With this chainsaw-lookin' spoon.
**[00:40] Soma**

could make such a beautiful pattern.
**[00:50] Soma**
The appearance isn't the
only thing that's impressive.
**[00:53] Soma**
All right, everyone...
**[00:55] Soma**
Go on and have a taste!

**[02:28] Gramps**
So you've come, Joichiro.
**[02:31] Jo**
Yup.
**[02:32] Jo**
This is my son's big chance, sorta.
**[02:35] Gramps**
Yukihira Soma's fighting in the
first round of this tournament,
**[02:40] Gramps**
but he's up against one of Noir's elites.
**[02:45] Gramps**
Do you think he stands a chance?
**[02:47] Jo**
Of course not.
**[02:50] Jo**
Soma's just the son of a
guy who runs a puny diner.
**[02:54] Jo**
Like he stands a chance against Noir.
**[02:59] Jo**
At least...
**[03:01] Jo**
Under normal circumstances.
**[03:03] Ran**
Now, let the tasting begin!
**[03:06] Mat**
Yes, indeed. Let us eat.
**[03:10] Mat**
I have been served!
**[03:15] Mat**
Absolutely delicious. So exquisite and soft.
**[03:18] Mat**
A harmonious sweetness is
blossoming within my mouth.
**[03:22] Mat**
It reminds me of sparks
flashing, then disappearing.
**[03:26] Mat**
Such a smooth yet fleeting sweetness.
**[03:30] Soma**
The key here is the Japanese yam.
**[03:32] Soma**
Adding that to the batter gives you
**[03:34] Soma**
a cake that's slightly thicker and sweeter.
**[03:37] Soma**
And there are two kinds of creams.
**[03:39] Soma**
I made both with banana,
avocado, tofu, and soy milk,
***SIGN*** Soy Milk
***SIGN*** Soy Milk
**[03:42] Soma**
then I added puffed rice to the white cream
**[03:45] Soma**
and cocoa powder to the brown cream.
**[03:48] Soma**
For the sweetener, I added rice syrup.
**[03:50] Niku**
Rice syrup? Is that when they take the
starch from rice and convert it into sugar?
**[03:55] Megu**
Yup! It's a healthy sweetener
that's been used for ages.
**[03:55] Bg megus**
Spinny, spinny...
**[03:59] Guy**
* That means this cake didn't use*
* any sugar or dairy products.*
**[04:04] Guy**
* He managed to bring out the natural*
* sweetness in all these ingredients*
**[04:07] Guy**
*and combined them to make this cake.*
**[04:09] Old**
Without using any sugar?
**[04:11] Glasses**
Why did he go to all that trouble?
**[04:12] Soma**
Well, the ones looking forward to my dish
right now are you guys at this table.
**[04:19] Soma**
I figured you might enjoy a cake in the
summertime more if it wasn't so heavy.
**[04:25] Soma**
I would personally prefer
something like that in summer.
**[04:30] Esso**
This is going to be a difficult decision.
**[04:34] Esso**
Both of them are equally matched.
**[04:36] Sarge**
Don't give me that shit!
**[04:37] Sarge**
You're saying his dish is comparable to mine?
**[04:40] Sage**
The theme was the ultimate Christmas cake
that would be the life of the party.
**[04:43] Sarge**
His cake is just a one-trick pony!
**[04:47] Sarge**
Meanwhile, my Cluster Bomb Cake adds
new excitement with every bite!
**[04:51] Sarge**
My cake has enough firepower
to blow his out of the water!
**[04:54] Soma**
'Scuse me for a sec.
**[04:56] Soma**
It might be a bit early to say that.
**[04:59] Soma**
We haven't even gotten to the fireworks yet.
**[05:02] Soma**
The perfect fireworks to liven
up this midsummer party.
**[05:07] Sarge**
Fireworks? I'm sure they're just for show.
**[05:10] Soma**
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
**[05:13] Soma**
These go perfectly with a summery day.
**[05:15] Soma**
They're sparklers!
**[05:21] Glasses**
What's that?
**[05:24] Guy**
They truly do look like sparklers.
**[05:26] Guy**
Countless sparkles are spreading
around the Midsummer Christmas Cake.
**[05:31] Esso**
That's not all. The cream is oozing
down and soaking into the bark pattern.
**[05:38] Mat**
And this refreshing aroma...
**[05:41] Mat**
It appears that the outer
shell of the fireworks
**[05:43] Mat**
has grated mandarin peel mixed into it.
**[05:47] Soma**
Dig in!
**[05:54] Esso**
*Coffee crumble!*
**[05:56] Esso**
*Fruits, almonds, and coffee beans are crushed,*
**[05:59] Esso**
* mixed, then baked together to*
* create this crumbly confection.*
**[06:03] Mat**
* It goes perfectly with the*
* lightly sweetened cake.*
**[06:07] Mat**
* The main supporting actor in it is*
* this cream that's soaked into the bark.*
**[06:13] Soma**
That's the brown cream I used
in the bûche de Noël itself.
**[06:18] Soma**
Except I made this one to melt easier,
depending on the temperature.
**[06:21] Guy**
* I see. He used the melted cream to make*
* sure the coffee crumble didn't get too dry,*
**[06:26] Guy**
*while melding it to the cake itself*
**[06:29] Guy**
* and maintaining its*
* original crunchy texture.*
**[06:34] Tsuka**
There's another reason why he didn't use
sugar or dairy products in the cake itself.
**[06:39] Tsuka**
It was to make sure they could savor
**[06:41] Tsuka**
the faint tartness and
bitterness of the coffee.
**[06:45] Esso**
The refreshing aroma...
**[06:47] Mat**
The richness enveloping us...
**[06:48] Guy**
And finally, the bitterness...
**[06:51] All**
...dissipating in an instant!
**[06:52] All**
A dish that's truly a delightful
gem for anyone of any age!
**[06:56] Sarge**
*Bûche de Noël? Brown cream?*
**[06:59] Sarge**
*Crumble?*
**[07:01] Sarge**
*That's all utterly mediocre.*
**[07:03] Sarge**
*Yet they're calling it delightful for all ages?*
**[07:06] Sarge**
What the hell is going on?! Where do
you get that strength of yours?!
**[07:10] Soma**
Huh? Uh, let's see...
**[07:13] Soma**
I guess, if I had to say,
**[07:15] Soma**
it's probably stuff I learned
working at a diner.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Dad**
*Soma!*
**[07:19] (Flashback) Dad**
I'll let you come up with one
**[07:21] (Flashback) Dad**
of the new menu items we release in a month.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Soma**
What?!
**[07:24] (Flashback) Soma**
But I'm only in sixth grade!
**[07:25] (Flashback) Dad**
What? Are you saying you can't do it?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Soma**
Of course I can.
**[07:31] Sign**
The Basics of the Basics
<< Japanese Cuisine >>
**[07:32] (Flashback) Soma**
Damn it! There's no point in making
something like the stuff we already have.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Soma**
But prep time shouldn't be too long!
But we need to cook it properly—
**[07:39] (Flashback) Dad**
Soma!
**[07:40] (Flashback) Dad**
You need to make 20 to-go orders.
Within five minutes.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Soma**
What?!
**[07:45] (Flashback) Dad**
Soma, this regular's been told to
lay off the sugar for a while,
**[07:50] (Flashback) Dad**
so make him something sweet
without using sugar or dairy.
**[07:53] (Flashback) Soma**
Wha—
**[07:54] (Flashback) Dad**
Soma!
**[07:55] (Flashback) Dad**
Soma!
**[07:56] Dad**
For basically 365 days a year, up until
the time Soma transferred to Totsuki,
**[08:01] Dad**
I kept asking him to pull off the impossible.
**[08:04] (Flashback) Dad**
Soma!
**[08:05] (Flashback) Dad**
I'm leaving the rest to you.
Can you handle it?
**[08:08] (Flashback) Soma**
Of course I can.
**[08:10] Dad**
Because diners can't afford to let
their regulars get sick of them.
**[08:16] Dad**
Unlike the extraordinary destinations,
your high-class restaurants or resorts,
**[08:20] Dad**
diners exist within the realm of the ordinary.
**[08:23] Dad**
You need to make sure people don't get tired
of you, even if they come by every day.
**[08:27] Dad**
For that, you need to be able
to make something universal,
**[08:30] Dad**
along with dishes that surprise and delight.
**[08:34] Dad**
I crammed all that knowledge into Soma.
**[08:38] Both**
Unfortunately, we just happen
to be the best diner around.
**[08:43] Soma**
If you don't believe it,
why not have a taste yourself?
**[08:49] Sarge**
* I'm trying not to admit it,*
* but my body is reacting on its own.*
**[08:53] Sage**
*My tongue! My body!*
**[08:55] Sage**
*My heart!*
**[09:00] Asahi**
Say, Sarge.
**[09:02] Sarge**
Asahi-san?
**[09:04] Asahi**
You always look so pissed off.
**[09:08] Asahi**
Why not show me a smile every once in a while?
**[09:11] Asahi**
You're ruining that beautiful face of yours.
**[09:14] Sarge**
Please don't tease me like that.
**[09:16] Asahi**
I'm not teasing, though.
**[09:18] Asahi**
You're always hiding how you really feel.
**[09:21] Asahi**
It's okay to be more honest with yourself.
**[09:23] Asahi**
Take your true feelings...
**[09:24] Asahi**

Not until I personally get
revenge against Saiba Asahi.
**[10:40] Sarge**
You are indeed strong.
**[10:42] Sarge**
But the reason you can't defeat Asahi-sama
**[10:46] Sarge**
lies within your knife!

I was hoping you'd help me out.
**[11:07] Green**
The hell are you talking about?
**[11:10] Green**
Unlike Sarge, we have no loyalty to you.
**[11:17] Bunny**

We're not helping you out.

You're the polar opposite of me.
The dictionary definition of elite.
**[12:00] Asahi**
I'm surprised you didn't run away in fear.
**[12:04] Tsuka**
Clearly, you're a terrible judge of character.
**[12:09] Tsuka**
I'll do anything for the sake of cooking.
**[12:12] Tsuka**
I'm only here today to enjoy this,
**[12:16] Tsuka**
so you'll just have to play along.
**[12:19] Asahi**
You know, we might actually
get along quite well.
**[12:22] Asahi**
How about we do this to make
things a bit more interesting?
**[12:26] Asahi**
If I win, give me that grater of yours.
**[12:31] Asahi**
You're not going to decline, are you?
**[12:34] Asahi**
Of course, if I lose,

We're counting on you, Tsukasa Eishi!

I want Tsukasa-senpai to win, but then
I won't be able to fight that guy!
**[13:08] Soma**
This is hard, man...
**[13:09] Taku**
I'm pretty sure Tsukasa-senpai
will be all right, but...
**[13:13] Taku**
There are too many unknowns
surrounding that guy.
**[13:15] Taku**
He can't let his guard down.
**[13:18] Soma**
But look at Tsukasa-senpai go.
**[13:20] Taku**
Yeah.
**[13:21] Taku**
He's even more precise than before.
**[13:23] Ishi**
Yup. He sure has progressed.
**[13:26] Kuga**
For real. He's so insane
it's almost infuriating.

Heyo, heyo, heyo! We're here!

his own presence on his dish.
**[14:01] Tsuka**
*Now...*
**[14:05] Tsuka**
*Let us duel, you and I.*
**[14:10] Kuga**
He's standing as an equal and
clashing with his ingredients.
**[14:13] Kuga**
By doing that, he gets a deeper
understanding of the ingredients
**[14:16] Kuga**
and leaves a part of himself within the dish.
**[14:19] Ishi**
That's what his conversation
skills have grown into.
**[14:23] Megu**
That's amazing! I can't believe he was able to
**[14:25] Megu**
evolve his style that much in
such a short period of time.
**[14:28] Soma**
Looks like he's gonna give his

What does Saiba Asahi have over there?

And he also seems to have some knives
meant for use at the circus and in stunts.
**[14:46] Guy**
And something that looks like a torture device!

Wait, why does he have that thing?!

**[17:15] Ran**
*The leader of Noir, Saiba Asahi.*
**[17:18] Ran**
*Just how good is he?*
**[17:23] Mat**
* The poussin chicken had been*
* seasoned with mustard,*
**[17:26] Mat**
* and then he grilled it to*

**[17:37] Ran**
*Why is this dish so unified?*
**[17:39] Ran**
*Nothing's wasted with the meat or the sauce.*
**[17:42] Asahi**
The secret lies in the light
scoring I did on the top.
**[17:46] Ran**
The light scoring? But this is far more...
**[17:49] Asahi**
Correct. It's on another level.
**[17:52] Asahi**
I used the chain carving
knife to do the light scoring,
**[17:56] Asahi**
so that the poussin chicken's
natural texture wouldn't be lost!
**[18:00] Megu**
Th-That's amazing!
**[18:02] Kuga**
Don't worry. Tsukassan will
be able to surpass that.

*Tsukasa Eishi was able to make*

**[18:44] Megu**
The feijoa is a fruit from
Central and South America!
**[18:47] Taku**
Oh, right. I think they mentioned
**[18:49] Taku**
Tsukasa-senpai was with Rindo-senpai
in the Amazon for a while.
**[18:53] Ran**
Amazing! The refreshing sweetness
and tartness of the feijoa
**[18:57] Ran**
takes the flavor to new heights!
**[19:00] Ess**
We're able to see this unknown side of the
ingredients because of this conversation.
**[19:05] Guy**
Well done, Tsukasa Eishi!
**[19:07] Old**
That might just be enough
to surpass Saiba Asahi!
**[19:10] Ranta**
B-But why?
**[19:14] Ranta**
I can't forget Saiba Asahi's dish
after it tried to seize my heart!
**[19:18] Esso**
Me neither...
**[19:20] Mat**
Agreed...
**[19:22] Asahi**
Well, there you go.
**[19:23] asahi**
What's giving my dish an edge
**[19:26] asahi**
are the tiny bits of blood sausage
carved into the chicken...

**[19:33] (Flashback) Asahi**
Cross!
**[19:34] Asahi**
It's a combination of blood
**[19:36] Asahi**
that I just drew from the poussin
chicken and pig's blood.
**[19:39] Asahi**
That's what's adding that extra punch.
**[19:42] Ran**
If you used only pungent pig's blood,
**[19:44] Ran**
it should overshadow the
scent of the poussin chicken.
**[19:47] Asashi**
It's all about fat.
**[19:48] Asahi**
I didn't just inject the blood from
the poussin chicken, but the fat, too.
**[19:53] Asahi**
Animal fat is just a hunk
of premium, rich flesh.
**[19:56] Asahi**
It adds depth to the flavor of the
meat without getting in the way.
**[20:01] (Flashback) Asahi**
*Cross!*
**[20:02] Asahi**
A delicate yet dynamic way of cooking
the meat to bring out its best.
**[20:06] (Flashback) Asahi**
*Cross!*
**[20:07] Esso**
The pure poussin chicken meat...
**[20:10] Ranta**
The pleasure of the sausage
made of blood and fat...
**[20:13] Mat**
Added together...
**[20:14] All**
This dish is basically taboo!
**[20:18] Ess**
Like fallen angels serving demons...
**[20:21] Ran**
We'll blindly follow...
**[20:23] Mat**
Ecstasy!
**[20:26] Mat**
Tsukasa Eishi's dish was also
**[20:28] Mat**
a perfect dish that brought out
120% from all of the ingredients.
**[20:32] Esso**
But Saiba Asahi's dish has
surpassed perfection itself!
**[20:36] Sarge**
* That's right. Crossed Knives can*

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...
**[04:33] Sarge**
Don Kama... He's as coordinated as ever.
**[04:36] Sarge**
He's more suited to the theme
of teamwork than anyone.
**[04:40] Old**
What are they trying to do?
**[04:41] Old**
This isn't a bar. This is a kitchen.
**[04:44] Glasses**
Those shakers...
**[04:46] Don**
The first stage of prep is complete.
**[04:49] Don**
I'm counting on you girls
to do the next step.
**[04:52] Girl**
Of course, Mama. Leave it to us.
**[04:54] Old**
Don't tell me they're trying to
make a sauce with those shakers!
**[04:59] Don**
What's this? Your wittle brother's not here yet.
**[05:03] Don**
Do you think he hung you out to dry?
Does that mean I win by default, then?
**[05:10] Don**
Oh, my. That means my amuse-bouche
is just going to go to waste.
**[05:14] Megu**
*Wha?! How the heck did this happen?!*
**[05:18] Sarge**
This is a rather difficult theme.
**[05:21] Sarge**
An amuse-bouche is a small dish
served before an appetizer.
**[05:25] Sarge**
It's normally prepared as a simple little dish.
**[05:28] Sarge**
But they want it to be something far
more complicated, created as a team.
**[05:33] Asahi**
True. Usually, it'd be hard
to call that an amuse-bouche.
**[05:38] Asahi**
I wonder what we're going to see from them.
**[05:41] Girls**
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...
**[05:48] Megu**
What should we do?
**[05:49] Don**
Please, enjoy.
**[05:52] His**
Is this a verrine?
**[05:54] Glasses**
A verrine is a kind of small glass.
**[05:58] Old**
Thus, any savory or sweet dish served
in one is also called a verrine.
**[06:03] Sarge**
It's particularly well-suited to
layered mousses and sauces,
**[06:06] Sarge**
to show off their beautiful visuals.
**[06:08] Sarge**
But their verrine is...
**[06:11] Ran**
How are there so many layers?!
**[06:13] Dyna**
There are almost a hundred colors
stacked up in these three glasses!
**[06:18] Don**
Remember, this is just an amuse-bouche.
**[06:21] Don**
I'd like you to enjoy these quickly.
**[06:23] Don**
This glass within ten seconds!
**[06:25] Don**
This next glass within twenty seconds!
**[06:28] Don**
And I recommend you finish the
third one within thirty seconds.
**[06:32] His**
What? How did they even make these?
**[06:36] Dyn**
It's so beautiful...
**[06:38] Dyn**
It retains its shape even when
you scoop it with a spoon.
**[06:40] Dyn**
The layers are all still intact!
**[06:47] His**
*It's raining fruits!*
**[06:49] Ran**
*A concerto of fish and herbs!*
**[06:52] Dyna**
* And finally, fragrant lamb mousse*
* and root vegetables in harmony!*
**[06:57] His**
This vibrant and colorful display...
**[07:00] Ran**
Each glass is making its presence known!
**[07:04] Dyna**
Raw sea urchin and smoked scallop mousse...
**[07:06] Dyna**
The perfect accenting layer is always
slipped into the perfect spot.
**[07:09] His**
*It's like this richly colored show of mousses...*
**[07:12] Girls**
*...is dancing in our mouths!*
**[07:16] Don**
Yes. I call this dish Onee's Greedy
Little Girl Three-Verrine Set.
**[07:21] Don**
It manages to charm anyone who eats it.
**[07:24] His**
* It's like I'm experiencing*
* a glimpse of a show!*
**[07:26] His**
* The flavors dance and twirl with both charm*
* and muscle in a richly seductive show!*
**[07:31] Ran**
And how is this even possible?!
**[07:33] Ran**
It was so impactful, but as soon as
I swallowed, it was so light!
**[07:38] Don**
The secret lies within this shaker!
**[07:42] His**
The inside walls are covered
with deep grooves!
**[07:45] Don**
Yes. With every shake,
this shaker produces delicate foam.
**[07:51] Dyn**
That thick, smooth foam coats the tongue
and then melts away in your mouth.
**[07:55] Ran**
There's impact and satisfaction...
**[07:57] Ran**
But the aftertaste...
**[07:59] Ran**
*is oh-so-fluffy!*
**[08:02] Don**
Yes! We can't have you getting
full from just the amuse-bouche!
**[08:08] Don**
That's why I wanted you to taste it
immediately, before the foam melted away,
**[08:12] Don**
while these verrines were
at their most delicious.
**[08:16] Dyn**
They've managed to flawlessly
complete the Bookmaster's task!
**[08:20] Ran**
An amuse-bouche that surpasses the
very concept of an amuse-bouche!
**[08:23] His**
They managed to make verrines
that could never be created in such
**[08:27] His**
a short amount of time a reality!
**[08:30] His**
With absolutely perfect teamwork!
**[08:33] Don**
So... how could you possibly beat my teamwork?
**[08:37] Don**
Aldini-kyun!
**[08:40] Don**
Aw, I'm so sowwy.
**[08:42] Don**
I forgot you didn't even have any
supporters to teamwork with!
**[08:46] Don**
Though I don't think you would've stood a chance
**[08:48] Don**
even if your wittle brother was here.
**[08:50] Don**
Nothing can defeat the
sauce we create together.
**[08:53] Don**
There's no way you could
possibly beat our teamwork.
**[08:57] Girls**
No way! No way!
**[08:59] Girls**
No way! No way!

**[10:12] Don**
Who do you think you are, little girl?!
**[10:15] Don**
Listen up! The Bookmaster sent us here!
**[10:20] Don**
We were to report our support members before
**[10:22] Don**
the match began and create
the dish as a team!
**[10:24] Don**
If you're using a different support
member than the one you reported,

**[14:34] Old**
He's spinning the mezzaluna
at incredible speeds,
**[14:36] Old**
but precisely chopping the ingredients!
**[14:39] Asahi**
I see. That's allowing him to cook at
speeds most people could never achieve.
**[14:46] Megu**
As Takumi-kun is right now,
**[14:48] Megu**
he can sharply, deeply turbo-charge
his dish's deliciousness!
**[14:53] Soma**
Tritare!
**[14:55] Don**
How can he work so well with Yukihira Soma?!
**[15:01] Taku**
*Of course I can.*
**[15:05] (Flashback) Megu**
The moment's finally arrived!
**[15:07] (Flashback) Isami**
Yeah!
**[15:08] (Flashback) Isami**
The Shokugeki with the mezzaluna
on the line is finally...
***SIGN*** Takumi Aldini Yukihira Soma
**[15:12] (Flashback) Girl**
The winner is Takumi Aldini!
**[15:15] (Flashback) Taku**
Yes!
**[15:17] (Flashback) Soma**
One more time.
**[15:18] (Flashback) Taku**
Huh?
**[15:19] (Flashback) Soma**
I don't care about the mezzaluna.
Just fight me again tomorrow!
**[15:23] (Flashback) Soma**
Don't think you've beat me just yet!
***SIGN*** The Next Day
***SIGN*** Takumi Aldini Yukihira Soma
**[15:27] (Flashback) Soma**
Hell yeah! I won!
**[15:28] (Flashback) Soma**
How'd you like that, Takumi?! I got reven—
**[15:32] (Flashback) Taku**
I can't just accept the mezzaluna like this!
**[15:35] (Flashback) Taku**
I'll compete against you again tomorrow
**[15:37] (Flashback) Taku**
and feel refreshed when I get it back from you.
***SIGN*** Takumi Aldini Yukihira Soma
***SIGN*** And the Day After That
**[15:40] (Flashback) Soma**
One more time!
***SIGN*** Takumi Aldini Yukihira Soma
***SIGN*** And Yet Again, the Day After That
**[15:43] (Flashback) Taku**
Once more!
**[15:44] (Flashback) Isshi**
Oh? You brought that back home again?
**[15:46] (Flashback) Megu**
I think he has another Shokugeki
with Takumi-kun tomorrow.
**[15:49] (Flashback) Isami**
If you're taking that again, why not
just let Yukihira-kun hold on to it?
**[15:52] (Flashback) Taku**
What are you saying, Isami?!
I'm going to win for good this time!
**[15:57] (Flashback) Girl**
The winner is Takumi Aldini!
**[16:00] (Flashback) Soma**
One more time!
**[16:01] (Flashback) Girl**
The winner is Yukihira Soma.
**[16:04] (Flashback) Taku**
Once more!
**[16:05] (Flashback) Soma**
One more time!
**[16:06] (Flashback) Taku**
Once more!
**[16:07] (Flashback) Soma**
One more time!
**[16:08] (Flashback) Both**
I'm not done yet!
**[16:11] Megu**
*Yes, they had Shokugekis over and over.*
**[16:14] Megu**
*Takumi-kun and Soma-kun have got this!*
**[16:16] Taku**
Buon appetito!
**[16:18] Old**
What? Only a single color?
**[16:20] Guy**
Can that actually be called a verrine?
**[16:22] Hist**
No, this is...
**[16:24] Hist**
It's black and white. It's yin and yang.
**[16:27] Girl**
A verrine split vertically?
**[16:30] Girl**
It's a complete contrast to his
opponent's dish, but just as beautiful!
**[16:33] Ran**
I guess I'll try the white side first.
**[16:38] Ran**
This is an Italian dish that
resembles chawanmushi...
**[16:41] Ran**
It uses sformato as its base!
**[16:43] Taku**
Indeed. I sliced up some
onions, then sautéed them,
**[16:47] Taku**
then blended in fresh
cream and Parmesan cheese,
**[16:49] Taku**
then added eggs and melted butter,
and then steamed it up into a souffle.
**[16:53] Taku**
It's a cheese-flavored white sformato.
**[16:55] Hist**
And the black sformato...
**[16:59] Hist**
This is... softshell turtle?!
**[17:02] Taku**
Yes... It's cheese...
**[17:03] Soma**
...and softshell turtle verrine.
**[17:07] Old**
Softshell turtle?!
**[17:14] Don**
How stupid can you two be?
**[17:15] Don**
Dairy and freshwater turtle meat?
**[17:18] Don**
You actually combined two completely
different foods with such distinct smells?
**[17:21] Don**
The most important thing with a verrine
is to savor the various layers together!
**[17:28] Don**
You're not going to suggest they
eat each layer separately, are you?
**[17:32] Taku**
Why not taste it for yourself,
**[17:35] Taku**
Don Kama?
**[17:37] Taku**
Mix it up all you'd like...
**[17:38] Soma**
...and have a taste!
**[17:48] Don**
*What?! It tastes so refined!*
**[17:54] Don**
* The turtle broth seeps*
* through and melds together*
**[17:57] Don**
*perfectly with the melted butter and cheese!*
**[18:01] Don**
*Then they deliciously lap at your tongue!*
**[18:04] Hist**
How could this be?! How do softshell
turtle and cheese go so well together?!
**[18:08] Girl**
There's something sprinkled on the surface.
**[18:10] Taku**
Those would be walnuts, sesame,
peanuts and other nuts...
***SIGN*** Kaki-no-Tane
**[18:14] Taku**
And then...
**[18:16] Don**
Kaki-no-tane?
**[18:18] Meg**
*That's...*
**[18:19] Megu**
* from when Soma-kun battled*
* Takumi-kun for the first time.*
***SIGN*** Kaki-no-Tane
***SIGN*** Kaki-no-Tane
**[18:23] Taku**
After lightly roasting them to enhance
their aroma, I mixed them into the sformato
**[18:28] Taku**
and then used the mezzaluna to
**[18:30] Taku**
chop up all the ingredients to
the perfect length of 0.1mm each.
**[18:34] Soma**
Way to go, human food processor!
**[18:37] Ran**
I see. The slight bitterness and
spiciness of the roasted kaki-no-tane
**[18:41] Ran**
got rid of the pungent smell,
**[18:43] Ran**
and also brought the two flavors together.
**[18:47] Hist**
The crunchy texture is so fun that you can
slurp it all down, yet it feels so light.
**[18:52] Girl**
I've never had such an amuse-bouche before...
**[18:54] Rantabi**
*...in my life!*
**[18:59] Old**
I'm so curious to know how it tastes!
**[19:04] Girls**
I want to try some!
**[19:07] Don**
Inconceivable! To bring together flavors
that were never meant to be combined!
**[19:13] Don**
How could those two pull off
something like that?!
***SIGN*** Takumi Aldini Yukihira Soma
**[19:28] (Flashback) Soma**
Guess I win, Takumi.
**[19:30] (Flashback) Soma**
At least for today.
**[19:33] (Flashback) Taku**
Yeah... I guess you did, Yukihira.
**[19:38] Taku**
Well, I guess it wasn't a total waste...
**[19:41] Taku**
All the time we've spent together
since we met, that is.
**[19:43] Soma**
Huh? Did you say something?
**[19:46] Taku**
No, don't mind me.
**[19:49] Tran**
And now, for the deliberation.
**[19:51] Tran**
The winner is...
***SIGN*** Takumi Aldini Yukihira Soma
***SIGN*** Don Kama And the Sisters
**[19:54] Tran**
The Aldini and Yukihira Tag Team!
**[19:57] Taku**
Grazie!
**[19:57] Soma**
Glad you liked it!
**[19:59] Isami**
Big Bro!
**[20:00] Taku**
Isami! Are you all right?!
**[20:02] Isami**
Yeah, I'm fine.
**[20:05] Kuga**
Welp, it's all thanks to me.
**[20:07] Kuga**
I'm glad I brought the martial artists
from the Chinese Cuisine RS with me.
**[20:14] Meg**
Thank goodness.
**[20:16] Soma**
Hey, Isami. It was tiring as hell
being on a team with your bro.
**[20:20] Isami**
Thanks for helping, Yukihira-kun.
**[20:22] Soma**
But the best partner for
Takumi Aldini is Isami Aldini.
**[20:28] Both**
Yeah.
**[20:31] Hist**
You can never break the bond between siblings.
**[20:34] Hist**
Am I right, Little Sister?
**[20:36] Dyna**
Indeed, Big Brother.
**[20:39] Soma**
Wait, you guys are siblings?
**[20:41] Don**
Asahi-sama, please take this.
**[20:44] Don**
My work is done.
**[20:46] Don**
Please think of me when you use this.
**[20:50] Asahi**
How admirable.
**[20:56] Niku**
There's trouble, guys!
**[20:59] Niku**
It's Erina-sama!
**[21:00] Mgu**
Huh?
**[21:12] Girl**
Oh, no!
**[21:24] Soma**
So the lone chef fighting against all
the losers in the revenge match...
**[21:27] Soma**
was Nakiri?
**[21:29] Taku**
She defeated all of them herself?
**[21:31] Megu**
But why is Nakiri-san the
only one who has to do this?
**[21:36] Anne**
We just received a report.
**[21:38] Anne**
Miss Nakiri Erina has defeated all of
the challengers in the revenge match.
**[21:43] Anne**
I assume you are willing to let her
proceed to the main event now,
**[21:46] Anne**
Bookmaster.
**[21:49] Mom**
You're all so disappointing.
**[21:52] Mom**
You all let a little girl defeat you.
**[21:57] Mom**
There's no need for the
God Tongue in this tournament.

The winner is Nakiri Erina-sama.
**[02:29] Asahi**
He didn't even stand a chance.
**[02:32] Asahi**
Well done, Princess Erina.
**[02:34] Megu**
Nakiri-san!
**[02:37] Erina**
You need to concentrate on winning yourselves!
**[02:40] Erina**
Understood?

Something's wrong.

Though I guess I can't blame her
after what she just went through.

**[02:53] Megu**
It's my turn.
**[02:57] Ran**
And now, this will be the final
match held in this venue today.
**[03:03] Ran**
Allow me to introduce our chefs.
**[03:05] Ran**
The tenth seat from the Totsuki Elite Ten,
**[03:08] Ran**
Tadokoro Megumi!
**[03:11] Ran**
And her opponent...
**[03:13] Ran**
One of the elite from Noir... Huang Zuiwang.
***SIGN*** Huang Zuiwang
vs
Tadokoro Megumi
**[03:18] Niku**
According to Eizan-senpai's intel,
**[03:20] Niku**
he's one of the most
menacing chefs from Noir.
***SIGN*** Huang Zuiwang
**[03:24] Asahi**
Hey, Tadokoro-san.
**[03:26] Asahi**
I'm almost surprised you
made it to the main event.
**[03:28] Asahi**
But I guess you did place first
at the BLUE preliminaries.
**[03:31] Asahi**
Hey, Huang Zuiwang.
You're up against a girl here.
**[03:33] Asahi**
Make sure you're not too rough with her.
**[03:36] Mask**
As you wish.
**[03:38] Soma**
The hell's up with those claws?
**[03:40] Taku**
So those are the masked guy's cooking utensils?
**[03:43] Ran**
The theme is "meals in a flash."
***SIGN*** Meals in a Flash
**[03:46] Ran**

* And now I will show you the*
* Huang Clan technique...*
**[03:55] Mask**
* The ultimate dish prepared*
* by the Claws of Black Death!*
**[03:59] Issh**
The deciding factor will be how much
they can enhance flavors in 15 minutes.
**[04:04] Soma**
He's got some talent.
**[04:06] Soma**
He's cutting the tendons in
the meat with those claws?
**[04:08] Niku**
That's not the half of it.
**[04:10] Tran**
He is from a long line of assassins in China,
**[04:14] Tran**
stretching back to the Nanboku-chou period.
**[04:17] Ran**
What?! Assassins?
**[04:18] Tran**
Using the toxic components of plants, fish,
**[04:22] Tran**
and bugs in their assassination techniques,
**[04:24] Tran**
his family influenced Chinese
history from the shadows.

***SIGN*** The Next Morning
**[05:41] Isa**
So you weren't able to see
Nakiri-san after that?
**[05:46] Niku**
No.
**[05:46] Megu**
I was hoping to talk to her
at least a little bit.
**[05:49] Taku**
I'm worried.
**[05:50] Taku**
Arato-san, who's always been there to
support her, doesn't seem to be here, either.
**[05:54] Soma**
Why the heck does Nakiri get to fight so much?
**[05:57] Soma**
I wanna compete more, too!
**[06:00] Megu**
Ah, so that's what's bugging you.
**[06:02] Soma**
The most important person in the WGO
is that Bookmaster person, right?
**[06:06] Soma**
They're up in the castle keep?
**[06:08] Soma**
I'm gonna go have a word or two with them!
**[06:10] Taku**
Yukihira, wait!
**[06:24] Megu**
Soma-kun, let's head back!
**[06:27] Soma**
Ooh, is that it?
**[06:31] Erina**
It appears that you've failed
**[06:33] Erina**
in your attempts to eliminate me.
**[06:37] Erina**
Grandfather told me you disapproved
of my entering this tournament.
**[06:42] Mom**
Why are you complaining when you
clearly won the revenge matches?
**[06:49] Erina**
I cannot make your wish come true.
**[06:52] Erina**
You have no use for the
God Tongue... Is that it,
**[06:56] Erina**

...mother?!
**[07:18] Mom**
I see that you've hit your prime.
**[07:21] Erina**
You just sit there and watch
**[07:23] Erina**
as I win the BLUE.
**[07:26] Mom**
Oho?
**[07:28] Erina**
I, Erina, will show you the
true power of my God Tongue!
**[07:34] Erina**
Farewell, Mother.
**[07:37] Erina**
No, Lady Bookmaster.
**[07:47] Erina**
You were here?
**[07:51] Anne**
All of you! You're not allowed to
be in here without permission!
**[07:55] Mom**
What's the harm? Invite them in.
**[08:01] Mom**
Anne... I am out of nutrients.
**[08:04] Mom**
Hurry... Hurry and bring me the usual...
**[08:06] Anne**
Y-Yes, immediately!
**[08:08] Mom**
Remember... Make sure it doesn't hurt!
**[08:11] Mom**
Do this properly!
**[08:12] Anne**
Yes, don't worry.
**[08:16] Anne**
Glucose, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes...
**[08:20] Anne**
I can feel the nutrients flowing through me.
**[08:23] Mom**
There's definitely something about
domestic IVs that makes them better.
**[08:27] Taku**
What... What exactly are we watching?
**[08:29] Soma**
No clue. I did figure out
that she's a weirdo, though.
**[08:33] Megu**
Um... Are you not feeling well?
**[08:36] Mom**
This is my meal. There's nothing to worry about.
**[08:40] Soma**
Your meal?
**[08:41] Mom**
But I will still get some rest.
**[08:44] Mom**
I am pleased that I got to see
Erina's school friends up close.
**[08:49] Mom**
Have them take their leave, Anne.
**[08:50] Anne**
As you wish.
**[08:52] Mom**
Ah, and you, the young man with the blue eyes.
**[08:56] Mom**
Takumi Aldini, was it?
**[08:58] Mom**
Your next opponent shall be Erina.
**[09:04] Mom**
If you and your younger
brother would both like
**[09:06] Mom**
to go up against her, I would not oppose it.
**[09:08] Taku**
What?
**[09:09] Mom**
Do whatever it takes to defeat the God Tongue.
**[09:11] Mom**
She's unnecessary to me.
**[09:18] Megu**
Why did Nakiri-san's mother
say something like that?
**[09:21] Anne**
The public doesn't know that
they're mother and daughter.
**[09:25] Anne**
The reason Mana-sama has
kept her identity secret
**[09:28] Anne**
is because she also possesses
the God Tongue.
**[09:34] Anne**
Her God Tongue made her
desire gourmet to no end
**[09:37] Anne**
until she came to completely despair at flavor.
**[09:40] Anne**
And because of that,
she became unable to eat food,
**[09:43] Anne**
and has been taking her nutrients through an IV.
**[09:48] Anne**
That is also why she left the Nakiri family.
**[09:51] Anne**
I heard that she left Erina-sama
when she was still quite young.
**[09:56] Sarge**
Asahi-sama, the next match
cards have been revealed.
**[10:00] Asahi**
Yes, I've been notified.
**[10:03] Asahi**

first place at the BLUE preliminaries...

**[10:46] Megu**
*What I have to do...*
**[10:48] Megu**
*Something only I can do...*
**[10:52] Asahi**
Well, well. You look like you're
in a foul mood, Princess Erina.
**[10:56] Asahi**
You're ruining your beautiful face.
**[10:58] Asahi**
You're making your future husband sad.
**[11:01] Erina**
Are you done with your nonsense?
**[11:03] Asahi**
Hey, now. Are you sure you want
to be that cold toward me?
**[11:08] Asahi**
The only one who can make your wish
come true is me, Saiba Asahi.
**[11:13] Erina**
I have no idea what you're talking about.
**[11:16] Asahi**
A hero with powers beyond the God Tongue.
**[11:19] Asahi**
That's what you and your
mother both want, isn't it?
**[11:23] Erina**
How do you know about my mother?
**[11:25] Asahi**
I did my research. That's exactly
why I need to win the BLUE.
**[11:30] Asahi**
What the Bookmaster desires
isn't the God Tongue.
**[11:33] Asahi**
She wants my cooking.
**[11:34] Erina**
Don't be ridiculous! I'm going
to come out on top at this BLUE!
**[11:38] Erina**
And I'm going to be the one who creates
a dish for my mother unlike any before!
**[11:43] Erina**
This isn't your place!
**[11:45] Erina**
Now if you'll excuse me!
**[11:48] Asahi**
You should be more honest with yourself.
**[11:51] Asahi**
What's this?
**[11:52] Asahi**
Eavesdropping on our private conversation?
**[11:56] Asahi**
You seemed so tame,
but that's pretty bold of you!
**[11:59] Megu**
Huh? Well, I, uh...
**[12:02] Megu**
I do apologize for eavesdropping.
**[12:04] Megu**
But please stop hurting Nakiri-san like that.
**[12:07] Asahi**
That's between the princess and me.
**[12:09] Asahi**
It's none of your concern.
**[12:13] Asahi**
Come on. The match is about the start.

Compete in a Shokugeki with me!
**[12:33] Megu**
If I win, please stop hurting Nakiri-san!
**[12:37] Asahi**
Oh?
**[12:39] Asahi**
I forgot. Are we allowed to
just randomly hold Shokugekis?
**[12:42] Asahi**
Wasn't there some management
involved or something?
**[12:44] Megu**
Huh? Well, I...
**[12:46] Asahi**
But sure. That's fine.
**[12:48] Asahi**
I'll accept your challenge.
**[12:50] Asahi**
But if you lose, you stop being
Princess Erina's friend.
**[12:56] Asahi**
Got it?
**[12:58] Taku**
I'm honored that I get to have an
official match with you, Nakiri-san.
**[13:01] Erina**
Are you sure you don't need your brother?
**[13:04] Taku**
That's unnecessary.

* I'm pretty sure he was from*

**[13:41] Asahi**
I have the knife he was using right
here... Let's see, where is it?

Oh, here it is!

He's actually a member of Noir, too.
***SIGN*** Noir

His name is Monarch.

He used super expensive ingredients.

Though I guess Monarch was no match for you.
**[14:00] Soma**
He was a member of Noir, too?
**[14:02] Asahi**
And this is Huang Zuiwang's

**[14:08] Asahi**
I'm going to use these two blades
that were clearly no match for you
**[14:12] Asahi**
and put on a little show...
**[14:17] Lady**
And in Hall A, your ingredient will be lamb.
**[14:21] Lady**
And now...

**[14:34] Soma**
Tadokoro's theme reminds me of the

**[17:32] Erina**
My dish...
**[17:34] Erina**
True, it's well-made gourmet...
**[17:36] Erina**
But I cannot call it something
that hasn't been tasted before.
**[17:41] Erina**
I can't live up to my title
of God Tongue like this.
**[17:44] Isami**
She won, but she doesn't seem happy at all.

Yeah...
***SIGN*** Nakiri Erina Takumi Aldini
**[17:53] Ran**

**[17:58] Ran**
The meat looks so hearty!
**[18:00] Lady**
This roast beef looks absolutely amazing.
**[18:02] Asahi**
Go ahead. Dig in.
**[18:10] Lady**
* The sweet fragrance of herbs*

**[18:14] Lady**

raised the quality of the beef itself.
**[18:34] Lady**
Yes. It's like a premium cut
of the highest-quality beef
**[18:38] Lady**
that's been delicately aged to perfection.
**[18:40] Asahi**
The Claws of Black Death.
**[18:43] Asahi**
When you age beef, the protein
in the red meat breaks down
**[18:47] Asahi**
into umami flavor components,
such as amino acids.
**[18:51] Asahi**
These claws are laced with all
kinds of secret umami components.
**[18:56] Asahi**
Of course, in order to
raise the quality of the beef
***SIGN*** Salty
***SIGN*** Sour
***SIGN*** Umami
**[18:59] Asahi**
as if it had been aged for two months,
***SIGN*** Bitter
**[19:01] Asahi**

**[19:05] Asahi**
And then, I perfectly prepared the meat
that I had turned into a luxury ingredient,
**[19:10] Asahi**
using my Crossed Knives!
**[19:13] Niku**
I-Is that even possible?
**[19:15] Isami**
Really?
**[19:17] Asahi**
I think I sort of remember some duo
panicking to make a verrine the other day.
**[19:23] Asahi**
But if it were me, I could use the
mezzaluna even closer to perfection.
**[19:27] Asahi**
I can make a dish that can
far surpass that one.
**[19:30] Asahi**
I wouldn't even have to waste
blood, sweat, and tears on it.
**[19:35] Guy**
And now, we have Tadokoro Megumi's dish.
**[19:39] Megu**
Please enjoy...
**[19:44] Lady**
It's so amazingly delicious!
**[19:46] Ran**
It's so gentle!
**[19:48] Guy**
And it's filled with such hospitality!
**[19:52] Guy**
She raised the flavor of this
super saver beef as high as it can go!
**[20:02] Asahi**
But due to the Crossed Knives, I was able
to double the quality of the meat itself!
**[20:08] Asahi**
Which means I basically shattered the
highest level it could've gone to before!
**[20:12] Guy**
Her dish cannot compete with
such an explosion of flavor.
***SIGN*** Tadokoro Megumi Saiba Asahi
**[20:18] Sign**

***SIGN*** Tadokoro Megumi Saiba Asahi
**[20:22] Guy**

He might actually surpass Nakiri Erina.
**[20:26] Lady**
He's absolutely the best.
**[20:28] Guy**
He may just win the whole thing.
**[20:30] Asahi**
I'm sure you're watching
somewhere, Bookmaster.
**[20:33] Asahi**
So what'd you think of my powers?
**[20:36] Asahi**
* The knife combination*
* possibilities are infinite.*
**[20:38] Asahi**
* I have the full potential to make*
* something you've never tasted before!*
**[20:42] Asahi**
I'm the perfect candidate to
take the top at the BLUE!
**[20:46] Ran**
Hey! Watch how you speak to her!
**[20:48] Ran**
She's the top of WGO!
**[20:50] Asahi**
By the way, there's something
I want when I win.
**[20:54] Asahi**
I figured I should get your permission.
**[20:58] Asahi**
I think you know what I'm saying.
**[21:01] Ranta**
Hey! Stop that!
**[21:02] Mom**
It was this chef, wasn't it?
The one who was pursuing Erina.
**[21:08] Anne**
Yes.
**[21:09] Mom**
*Do as you please.*
**[21:11] Mom**
* Whoever has the potential to*
* produce the dish I desire*
**[21:14] Mom**
*shall be rewarded graciously.*
**[21:22] Mom**
*Saiba Asahi, I have high hopes for you.*
**[22:48] Asahi**
Well? That was a great demonstration, wasn't it?
**[22:52] Asahi**
Looks like your mom took a liking to me.
**[22:55] Erina**
I told you. That's all going to
be pointless as soon as I win.
**[23:00] Asahi**
And this is what broke Nakiri Mana.
**[23:04] Asahi**
What she needs is a different power.
**[23:07] Asahi**
Otherwise, you can't make
the dish that she desires!
**[23:11] Asahi**
Didn't you hear the crowd out there?
**[23:13] Asahi**
Everyone's certain that I'll win!
**[23:15] Asahi**
If you think someone objects,
I'd love to meet them.
**[23:19] Asahi**
You will not be the chef
who becomes her savior.
**[23:23] Asahi**
It's me.

**[00:39] Asahi**
Is that so? Princess Erina
seems to think differently.

After the match earlier, Asahi-san said...
**[02:42] (Flashback) Asahi**
Yeah, so about you not being friends with
Princess Erina anymore if you lose...
**[02:47] (Flashback) Asahi**
I take that back.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Megu**
Huh?
**[02:49] (Flashback) Asahi**
Instead, would you tell Princess
Erina something for me?
**[02:52] (Flashback) Asahi**
That you'd give your blessing for my
marriage to Princess Erina as her friend.
**[02:56] (Flashback) Megu**
What?! M-M-M-M-Marriage?!
**[02:59] Erina**
He only threatened me with becoming his
wife if I lost to him in a cooking match.
**[03:03] Soma**
Oh, is that why you seemed all pissed
off during Takumi's match, too?
**[03:08] Erina**
That was a bit different...
**[03:11] Soma**
But you know, you're probably
worrying over nothing.
**[03:15] Soma**
You saw the tournament lineup, right?
**[03:18] Soma**
If I keep winning like I am, I'm gonna
butt heads with Saiba Asahi first.
**[03:23] Soma**
And that's where I'm gonna kick Asahi's ass!
**[03:26] Soma**
So you two won't even have to fight.
**[03:29] Erina**
Do you really think it'll go that smoothly?
**[03:32] Erina**
You saw how powerful his Crossed Knives were.
**[03:38] Soma**
What? Why are you taking Asahi's side, anyway?
**[03:42] Soma**
You've been acting strange.
**[03:44] (Flashback) Asahi**
What she needs is a different power.
**[03:47] Erina**
He's right. I know that.
**[03:50] Erina**
I know that I'm the one having strange thoughts.
**[03:54] Erina**
There might be a part of me that
wants you to lose, Yukihira-kun.
**[04:02] Sarge**
Asahi-sama, well done.
**[04:04] Asahi**
Yup. Thanks to you guys,
everything's going according to plan.
**[04:08] Asahi**
You figured out backdoor
ways to get me into Totsuki
**[04:12] Asahi**
and even researched everything
about the Nakiri family.
**[04:15] Sarge**
There's still one matter we're looking into.
**[04:18] Asahi**
Eh, I'm sure it's enough.
**[04:20] Asahi**
My plan to marry the ultimate woman,
the possessor of the God Tongue, is in place.
**[04:27] Mus**
But the God Tongue truly is a marvel.
**[04:30] Mus**
It's a special trait that appears
**[04:32] Mus**
in members of the Nakiri family
every now and then, right?
**[04:35] Sarge**
The only time it's been inherited
two generations in a row
**[04:37] Sarge**
is with Nakiri Mana and her daughter,
Nakiri Erina, apparently.
**[04:41] Asahi**
The presence of the God Tongue is a
blessed event for the culinary world.
**[04:46] Asahi**
But the same can't be said for
the Nakiri family itself.
**[04:50] Asahi**

despaired over food at one point or another

and spent their lives suffering.
**[04:57] Erina**
It's one of the first things I remember,
but I remember it clearly.
**[05:02] Erina**
My mother was completely pale,
her cheeks sunken.
**[05:07] Erina**
She couldn't keep down anything that she ate
**[05:09] Erina**
or even bear to smell dashi.
**[05:12] Erina**
Then one day, my mother
left the Nakiri household.
**[05:16] (Flashback) Gramps**
Erina, Mana possesses a true talent,
**[05:20] (Flashback) Gramps**
and that is why she must leave
food behind for a while.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Gramps**
She needs some time to heal.
**[05:26] (Flashback) Erina**
How long will that take?
**[05:28] (Flashback) Erina**
When will Mother come home?
**[05:34] Erina**
But my mother never returned home.
**[05:40] Sarge**
It's truly ironic.
**[05:42] Sarge**
The God Tongue is the pride of that family,
**[05:45] Sarge**
but at the same time, an unwanted presence.
**[05:47] Asahi**
Yes. But my Crossed Knives can
free them from that fate.
**[05:53] Asahi**
My plan will come to fruition,
**[05:55] Asahi**
and Nakiri Mana, as well as Princess Erina,
will be able to live happily ever after.
**[06:01] Erina**
I'm sure my mother would be disappointed
**[06:04] Erina**
if I, a fellow possessor of the
God Tongue, won the tournament.
**[06:08] Erina**
Because I don't have the hope that
can save my mother from her despair.
**[06:14] Erina**
If that's the case... If I let Saiba Asahi win,
we might all finally be happy.
**[06:22] Soma**
Sorry, but I'm gonna be the
one who defeats Asahi.
**[06:26] Soma**
It's obvious that you're
going through some stuff,
**[06:29] Soma**
but none of that matters to me.
**[06:30] Soma**
That's not my place.
**[06:32] Megu**
Don't say that, Soma-kun.
**[06:34] Soma**
I'm gonna head to bed. Night!
**[06:38] Asahi**
Well, I'm counting on you guys to take
care of the rest of the outside chefs.
**[06:43] Asahi**
Of course, if you guys run into
Princess Erina before me,
**[06:46] Asahi**
you can beat her if you'd like.
**[06:49] Asahi**
That goes for that nuisance
Yukihira Soma, too.
**[06:53] Megu**
Soma-kun! Why'd you have to
say something like that?
**[06:57] Megu**
Hey, what should we do?
**[07:01] Soma**
Who knows? All I've learned is that
it sucks to have the God Tongue.
**[07:05] Soma**
Honestly, she's always so annoyingly truthful
**[07:08] Soma**
when she's judging other people's dishes,
**[07:11] Soma**
and yet she can't say what she wants
to the one person she wants to talk to.

Erina-sama and Yukihira both
made it to the semifinals.
**[08:17] Taku**
Yeah. And Yukihira's next opponent is...
***SIGN*** Saiba Asahi
**[08:21] Taku**
Saiba Asahi.
**[08:22] Isami**
So what's Yukihira-kun doing right now?
**[08:25] Taku**
I think he's preparing for the next match.
**[08:28] Soma**
Well, I'd love to get ready right now,
**[08:31] Soma**
but we don't even know the
theme until the match starts.
**[08:34] Soma**
What am I even supposed to do?
**[08:36] Megu**
Yeah, but...
**[08:37] Soma**
Hey, Tadokoro!
**[08:38] Soma**
You look bored! Let's have a cooking match!
**[08:40] Megu**
Huh?! I ain't nothin' like Asahi-san!
I'd be no help at all!
**[08:45] Soma**
Right... Man, if only my dad was here right now.
**[08:49] Soma**
I'd be able to battle with him all I wanted.
**[08:52] Gin**
Sorry I'm late, Joichiro.
**[08:54] Jo**
Hey, Gin. You finally made it.
**[08:56] Gin**
I wanted to see the next match with
my own eyes, whatever it took.
**[09:01] Gin**
Fate sure is something, though. Your son
going up against your former student.
**[09:05] Gin**
And the one who controls the fate
of this match is Nakiri's mother.
**[09:09] Jo**
Yeah. Who knew the big shot at WGO
was Senzaemon-dono's own daughter?
**[09:14] Jo**
Sure shocked the hell outta me.
**[09:16] Gin**
You've done plenty to shock people in the past!
**[09:19] Gin**
Do you realize how much time I wasted trying
to get information on Saiba Asahi?!
**[09:23] Jo**
My bad.
**[09:24] Gin**
Say it like you mean it!
**[09:26] Gin**
So, how's Yukihira Soma doing?
**[09:29] Jo**
Who knows?
**[09:30] Jo**
To tell you the truth, I haven't
seen him since I got here.
**[09:33] Gin**
Why, though?
**[09:35] Jo**
I've had over 500 cooking battles with Soma.
**[09:38] Jo**
I figure that's enough.
**[09:41] Megu**
Five hundred? That's amazing.
**[09:44] Soma**
Though it was actually my mom who
taught me how to cook first.
**[09:49] Soma**
Sure takes me back... My mom and dad would
be standing in the kitchen at Yukihira...
**[09:54] Soma**
And I'd stand there for hours,
just watching them.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Guy**
Tamako-chan, make me somethin' special!
**[10:00] (Flashback) Guy**
Hey, let's place bets.
**[10:02] (Flashback) Guy**
Will it be tasty, or will it suck?
***SIGN*** Yukihira Tamako
**[10:04] (Flashback) Tamako**
One chef's special, eh?
**[10:07] (Flashback) Tamako**
Just you wait.
**[10:12] (Flashback) Tamako**
All right! Dig in.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Guy**
Sweet!
**[10:20] (Flashback) Guy**
You owe us three beers.
**[10:22] (Flashback) Tamako**
Well, that's weird. Maybe I screwed
up the seasoning somewhere.
**[10:26] (Flashback) Guy**
Your dad owns a diner,
but you suck at cooking.
**[10:30] (Flashback) Guy**
She does come up with winners
every once in a while, though.
**[10:32] (Flashback) Guy**
Her fried rice is usually spot-on.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Tamako**
It sure is. That's because I messed up on
my fried rice more times than I can count.
**[10:38] (Flashback) Tamako**
Mistakes are the mother of success, after all.
**[10:41] (Flashback) Guy**
Gah, I need to get this taste out of my mouth.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Guy**
Joichiro-chan, make me some broiled fish.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Jo**
You got it.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Tama**
Broil me up some fish, too, hon.
Oh, and I'll take a draft.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Jo**
Get your butt back over here.
**[10:53] Soma**
Didn't matter if she succeeded or messed up.
**[10:55] Soma**
I loved watching my mom have so much fun.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Tama**
Listen up, Soma. Your left hand is key here.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Tama**
Give it a try.
**[11:03] (Flashback) Soma**
'Kay!
**[11:05] (Flashback) Soma**
Mom, it's gonna burn!
**[11:06] (Flashback) Tama**
Oh, who cares? Keep it up, my boy!

**[11:25] (Flashback) Jo**
What happened, Soma?
What's all the ruckus?
**[11:28] (Flashback) Soma**
That was close. Don't worry. I didn't
drop our precious ingredient, though.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Tama**
You're lucky you weren't seriously injured,
**[11:37] (Flashback) Tama**
but you might end up with a scar.
**[11:40] (Flashback) Soma**
Whoa, a scar? That sounds awesome!
**[11:44] (Flashback) Tama**
Why are boys so stupid?
**[11:46] (Flashback) Jo**
What do you think, Tamako?
I just thought of this yesterday.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Tama**
Damn, it's good! Great job, hon!
**[11:54] (Flashback) Soma**
Hey, Mom. I made something, too.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Soma**
It's better than Dad's!
**[12:00] (Flashback) Tama**
Looks like you've got a ways to
go if you wanna beat your dad.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Soma**
D'oh!
***SIGN*** Yukihira Diner
**[12:06] (Flashback) Jo**
If only the three of us could've
stayed together forever...
**[12:16] (Flashback) Soma**
Dad...
**[12:17] (Flashback) Soma**
Let's have a cook-off.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Jo**
Right. Let's do this.
**[12:26] Jo**
Soma's been a strong kid ever since.
**[12:30] Jo**
He is Tamako's son, after all.
**[12:34] Sarge**
Asahi-sama,
**[12:35] Sarge**
we've received an update regarding
the illegal ingredient.
**[12:38] Mus**
Oh, yes. It appears that
the time to make the deal
**[12:41] Mus**
is the same time as your match, Asahi-sama.
**[12:45] Asahi**
Well, the other Noir members
are taking care of it.
**[12:48] Asahi**
Just let them be.
**[12:50] Jo**
Hey.
**[12:51] Jo**
Guess it's our first time running
into each other in Japan, Asahi.
**[12:55] Asahi**
Joichiro...
**[12:58] (Flashback) jo**
*My wife just passed away*.
**[13:01] (Flashback) jo**
I've gotta stay by Soma's... my son's side.
**[13:06] (Flashback) jo**
So how about it?
**[13:08] (Flashback) jo**
If you want, you could come with me.
**[13:13] (Flashback) Asahi**
I'm not gonna go.
**[13:15] (Flashback) Jo**
I see.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Asahi**
*You stole him from me...*
**[13:21] (Flashback) Asahi**
*Soma!*
**[13:23] Asahi**
Joichiro,
**[13:25] Asahi**
I'm gonna kick your failure of a son's ass.
**[13:29] Asahi**
This time, for good.
**[13:42] Kuga**
Heck yeah!
**[13:43] Senpai**
Way to go, Totsuki Academy Director!
***SIGN*** Nakiri Erina
**[13:47] Megu**
Nakiri-san's amazing...
**[13:50] Taku**
But that sure is a look.
**[13:55] Sarge**
It's finally time, Asahi-sama.
**[13:57] Asahi**
No need to rush. I've got one more job
to do before I conquer my ambitions.
**[14:01] Asahi**
And it looks like the nuisance is here.
**[14:05] Asahi**
Yukihira, you want revenge on me, don't you?
**[14:09] Asahi**
Too bad you're not gonna get your wish.
**[14:12] Asahi**
I'm the one who's gonna see my dream
come true and possess everything.
**[14:15] Soma**
Look, you can do whatever
you want if you beat me.
**[14:19] Soma**
But just so you know...
**[14:22] Soma**
You wouldn't be able to make Nakiri happy.
**[14:25] Asahi**
That's a rather bold statement
**[14:27] Asahi**
from a little boy like you, Yukihira.
***SIGN*** Saiba Asahi

**[14:36] Guy**

**[14:38] Lady**

**[14:41] guy**
Show 'em hell, Crossed Knives!
**[14:43] Guy**
You're going to the top of the BLUE!
**[14:44] Megu**
Everyone's cheering for Asahi-san.
**[14:47] Isami**
Well, he's definitely the favorite.
**[14:49] Taku**
That must mean the Crossed Knives
made one hell of an impression.
**[15:00] Asahi**
My bad. Looks like I sorta
won over the crowd.
**[15:03] Asahi**
You mad?
**[15:04] Soma**
Nah, not really.
**[15:06] Guy**
Hell yeah!
***SIGN*** Polar Star

**[15:15] Ryoko**
You've got this!
**[15:16] Glasses/shun**
Don't you dare lose!
**[15:17] Buns**
We wanted to cheer for Megumi,
**[15:19] Buns**
Takumicchi, and Erinacchi, too,
but we couldn't get tickets!
**[15:23] Megu**
Everyone!
**[15:25] Taku**
That's reassuring.
**[15:26] Kuga**
Perfect timing.
**[15:28] Kuga**
You must be pretty proud
of your juniors, Isshiki.
**[15:31] Kuga**
And you were helping Yukihira-chin
yesterday, weren't you, Tsukassan?
**[15:35] Tsuka**
I was. I wanted to help him any way I could.
**[15:39] Megu**
I never would've imagined they'd
be doing cooking battles all night.
**[15:44] Taku**
How dare you not invite me?!
**[15:46] Soma**
Hey, thanks, guys!
**[15:50] Gramps**
Mana...
**[15:53] Asahi**
Now, then...
**[15:54] Asahi**
I hate to do this when his gang's all here,
**[15:58] Asahi**
but I'm gonna have to
make Yukihira look bad.
**[16:02] Asahi**
You're worried about
Princess Erina, too, aren't you?
**[16:05] Asahi**
Do you really have time for distractions?
**[16:06] Soma**
Distractions?
**[16:08] Soma**
You can't be serious.
**[16:09] Soma**
I'm looking right at you.
**[16:13] Asahi**
You know what this is, don't you?
**[16:15] Soma**
My dad's knife.
**[16:17] Asahi**
I'm gonna end you with the superior version
of your knife... Your dad's knife!
**[16:23] Soma**
I couldn't ask for anything better
than you using my dad's knife.
**[16:27] Soma**
This fight's a way to finally surpass my dad...
**[16:31] Soma**
Using my own... my very own knife!
**[16:36] Mana**
*Well, well. Aren't our young'uns quite lively?*
**[16:40] Mana**
*Excellent, excellent.*
**[16:42] Mana**
* That just means that we'll need*
* a theme worthy of your passion.*
**[16:48] Mana**
There are cuisines known as the
"Five Grand Cuisines of the World."
**[16:53] Mana**
There are many theories
about them, but French, Chinese,
**[16:57] Mana**
Turkish, Indian, and Italian cooking...
**[17:02] Mana**
These five cuisines are
probably the most impactful.
**[17:05] Mana**
*Now, your theme for this match...*
**[17:08] Mana**
*will be all of them!*
**[17:11] Mana**
*You may use any ingredients you like.*
**[17:13] Mana**
*You have 180 minutes.*
**[17:15] Mana**
* You're going to combine the Five*
* Grand Cuisines into one dish,*
**[17:19] Mana**
*and create the ultimate cuisine!*
**[17:22] Mana**
Begin cooking!
**[17:24] Guy**
What?! They have to combine
all five of those into one?
**[17:27] Guy**
How's that even possible?!
**[17:29] Bun**
That's way too hard!
**[17:31] Glasses**
I managed to combine the three best soups
in the world at the BLUE Preliminaries,
**[17:34] Glasses**
but it's impossible to combine
all five of the grand cuisines!
**[17:37] Soma**
*What the heck?*
**[17:39] Soma**
* Each of those use completely different*
* ingredients and cooking methods.*
**[17:43] Soma**
*And they want it all in one dish?*
**[17:45] Soma**
*Talk about hard.*
**[17:47] Soma**
*But if I can't deal with something like this,*
**[17:50] Soma**
* I'm never gonna be able to make something*
* that'll satisfy Nakiri's mom.*
**[17:55] Asahi**
Come on, now. You don't have
that much time to think.
**[17:58] Soma**
Well, don't you seem confident?
**[18:01] Asahi**
I've got my Crossed Knives, after all.
**[18:06] Gin**
This goes beyond the Five Grand Cuisines!
He has knives for every form of cooking!
**[18:12] Asahi**
Cross!
**[18:12] Gin**
That's just like a kukri!
**[18:17] Glasses**
He chopped up ginger, green onions,
and those herbs in an instant!
**[18:20] Buns**
Now he's adding them into chicken
broth at such a high speed!
**[18:24] Asahi**
Cross!
**[18:25] Shun**
That's a spice grinder used in Indian cuisine.
**[18:28] Ryoko**
He even has something like that?
**[18:30] Ryoko**
By precisely heating those spices with oil,
**[18:33] Ryoko**
he's bringing out the active
ingredients and a wonderful aroma.
**[18:36] Niku**
He's Crossing different things for
every step he takes during prep?
**[18:39] Tsuka**
It appears he's using even more
Crosses than in his battle with me.
**[18:45] Isami**
That's shark fin inside that steamer.
**[18:47] Taku**
And now it looks like he's
making a Chinese dish.
**[18:50] Asahi**
Joichiro... Cross!
**[18:52] Niku**
The Claws of Black Death!
**[18:53] Glasses**
He's running them along
the shark fin's fibers...
**[18:55] Shun**
At tremendous speed.
**[18:58] Kuga**
Even with authentic Chinese cuisine,
**[19:00] Kuga**
you stew the shark fin in paitan soup
or oyster sauce to enhance its flavor.
**[19:05] Taku**
By using those claws,
**[19:07] Taku**
he's able to let the flavors soak
even more into the shark fin.
**[19:11] Megu**
That's—
**[19:12] Asahi**
Joichiro Cross... Tsukasa Eishi!
**[19:16] Megu**
He's using Tsukasa-senpai's grater!
**[19:22] Niku**
He's grating the butter at super speed?!
**[19:25] Megu**
He's enriched his cooking methods even
more than any match we've seen before.
**[19:30] Isami**
He's an incredible chef who can master any
preparation tool or method in an instant.
**[19:36] Taku**
By Crossing things with Joichiro-san's talents,
he's become even more precise!
**[19:40] Asahi**
*But this takes more out of me than you'd think.*
**[19:43] Asahi**
* If I let my guard down even for a second,*
* the balance between the flavors will be ruined!*
**[19:48] Kumar**
*Calm down, Asahi.*
**[19:50] Asahi**
*That voice!*
***SIGN*** Reyansh Kumar
**[19:52] Asahi**
*Head Chef Reyansh Kumar!*
**[19:54] Kumar**

*The reason I'm able to take on this dish*
**[20:25] Asahi**
*is thanks to all of them.*
**[20:28] Buns**
Who the hell are they?!
**[20:29] Niku**
I can't even feel for him because I have
no idea who any of those assholes are!
**[20:31] Guy**
Stop acting like a damn protagonist!
**[20:34] Guy**
You're pissing me off!
**[20:35] Sarge**
The truth is, he just forced them all
into battles and stole their tools.
**[20:41] Mus**
I'm sure none of them actually
feel that generous toward him.
**[20:45] Gin**
It's similar to the training at Totsuki.
**[20:47] Gramps**
Yet that boy is able to master their
skills just by using their tools?
**[20:53] Asahi**
Hypothetically, let's say there's a chef
who wandered the culinary world,
**[20:57] Asahi**
lost his way, and got
swallowed up in the storm.
**[21:01] Asahi**
I'd be able to get much further than that man.
**[21:06] Asahi**
I'd leave the storm behind in no time.
**[21:09] Asahi**
I can come up with a new dish
or anything else I want!
**[21:14] Asahi**
Am I wrong?!
**[21:16] Tsuka**
* If Yukihira loses, Nakiri will*
* be swallowed up by darkness,*
**[21:20] Tsuka**
* and all the outside chefs*
* will lose credibility.*
**[21:24] Erina**
So it is true...
**[21:25] Erina**
The only hope of ever making my mother's
wish come true is for Saiba Asahi to win.
**[21:30] Soma**
Well, that's good. I feel better now.
**[21:34] Soma**
I mean, at first glance,
you've got a decent chance.
**[21:37] Soma**
But it's basically a cheat codes version
of all the training we've done, right?
**[21:42] Soma**
That means we're still
somewhat on the same level.
**[21:46] Soma**
So I guess I'd better hurry and catch up.
**[21:55] Asahi**
This is exactly what makes you so naïve.
**[21:58] Asahi**
Go ahead and try it if you think you can.
**[22:07] Soma**
Just you wait,

There's absolutely no time

* The theme is to combine the Five*
* Grand Cuisines into one dish.*
**[02:24] Soma**
I guess this is the least
I'm gonna have to do.
**[02:28] Asahi**
Looks like you finally narrowed down your menu.
**[02:30] Soma**
Actually, I'd say it's sorta all over the
place now, rather than narrowed down.
**[02:34] Asahi**
Huh?
**[02:35] Soma**
I'm gonna make a dish for
each of the Five Grand Cuisines,
**[02:40] Soma**
meaning I'm gonna make five in total.
**[02:42] Soma**
And after that,
**[02:44] Soma**
I'm gonna cram them all together.
**[02:46] Soma**
That'll be my completed dish.
**[02:50] All**
What?!
**[02:51] Guy**
What the heck is he talking about?!
**[02:53] Asahi**
This probably isn't the time to
try anything risky, Yukihira.
**[02:56] Asahi**
I'd rather not win by default here.
**[02:59] Asahi**
It's obvious that you're gonna fail.

And it's when there's a chance of failure
that you'll find a true opportunity.
**[03:07] Soma**

I'm not gonna be able to make this dish.

Yukihira... Are you sure you can pull this off?

It's truly like trying to grasp at clouds.

It's your responsibility to

You are right.
**[05:58] Dad**
But in the end, I could not save anyone...
**[06:02] Dad**
No one that I actually wanted to save.
**[06:10] Guy**
Saiba Asahi completed his dish first!
**[06:14] Guy**
What the heck did he make?
**[06:16] Megu**
To think he looks so exhausted after
using his Crossed Knives so much.
**[06:20] Isshi**
I imagine it was quite mentally and
physically taxing to include the essences
**[06:24] Isshi**
of all Five Grand Cuisines in a single dish.
**[06:27] Hisa**
It's almost time!
**[06:28] Buns**

Time's up!
**[06:40] Soma**

Not bad. You actually managed to slide in.
**[06:52] Asahi**
But it all comes down to taste.

We will now begin the tasting!
**[06:57] Ran**
The three Bookmen who will be judging

They're...

The way he looks and presents

Well, thanks!
**[07:17] Asahi**
Hearing that from beautiful ladies

**[07:20] Buns**
Hey! No taking sides!
**[07:22] Guy**
No playing favorites!
**[07:23] Guy**
You need to be unbiased!
**[07:24] Charme**
They seem to be talking to you two.
**[07:26] Decora**
We know, we know.
We'll be judging this properly.
**[07:31] Courage**
We've already seen Yukihira
Soma-kun's imagination
**[07:33] Courage**
and techniques at the Team Shokugeki.
**[07:36] Courage**
But I'm really curious about
Asahi-kun's Crossed Knives, too.
**[07:41] Courage**
Huh?
**[07:42] Dec**
What?
**[07:42] Charm**
What's going on?
**[07:44] Charme**
Saiba Asahi's dish is covered with a cloche,
but the aroma's still leaking out!
**[07:49] Courage**
I've never smelled an aroma like this
before! It's so full-bodied and elegant.
**[07:55] Dec**
I can't... I couldn't possibly wait any longer.
**[07:58] Dec**
We'll try this dish first!
**[08:00] Glasses**
What?!
**[08:02] Shun**
The aroma makes the first
impression with the judges,
**[08:04] Shun**
and they've chosen his dish first.
**[08:12] Guys**
What the hell is that?!
**[08:14] Ryoko**
It's a pie crust!
**[08:15] Ryoko**
He's made a delicate lattice
and baked it to perfection!
**[08:19] Asahi**
Please use a spoon to break open the pie,
**[08:21] Asahi**
then mix the sauce and filling
with the crust as you eat.
**[08:24] Asahi**
Oh, right...
**[08:26] Asahi**
Would you like some as well, Bookmaster-dono?
**[08:28] Asahi**
I'm sure you're watching!
**[08:30] Asahi**
*This is my best dish yet!*
**[08:33] Mana**
Procure his dish for me.
**[08:37] Anne**
Are you sure, Mana-sama?
**[08:39] Mana**
I'm sure it'll be exquisite enough
that I will not feel ill after.
**[08:49] Charme**
The filling contains carrots, gingko nuts,
shiitake mushrooms, and similar things. And...
**[08:55] Courage**
Shark fin stewed to the point
that it melts in my mouth.
**[08:58] Couage**
I can't hold back!
**[09:03] Courage**
It's all melting so hot on my tongue.
**[09:06] Dec**
The pie crust is French, and inside,
we have Chinese shark fin.
**[09:10] Dec**
The chicken broth is seasoned with
Indian spices, giving it an elegant aroma.

***SIGN*** Shippoku Cuisine

And its most notable dish is a soup
with a lattice pie crust on top, the basty.
**[09:42] Shun**
So it's the perfect choice for this theme.
**[09:47] Courage**
This pie made use of the techniques
he stole from Tsukasa Eishi.
**[09:53] Courage**
Coarsely grating the butter
before mixing it with the flour
**[09:56] Courage**
creates a perfect harmony in the pie crust.
**[09:59] Charme**
Because the butter melted so evenly
throughout, the mouthfeel is light and crispy,
**[10:03] Charme**
making it soak up the soup even more.
**[10:05] Tsuka**
Looks like Saiba Asahi ended up even
stronger after he stole my grater.
**[10:12] Issh**
No, I don't think that's all there is to this.
**[10:15] Courage**
Oh? What's this filling?
**[10:17] Courage**
It looks like Italian ravioli.
**[10:20] Courage**
What's inside?
**[10:25] ---**
Delicious!
**[10:26] Guy**
It stretched?!
**[10:27] Guy**
What the heck is that?
**[10:29] Ryoko**
A mochi pouch?
**[10:30] Niku**
Is it yam?
**[10:31] Asahi**
That's dondurma. The Japanese
call it "Turkish ice cream."
**[10:37] Asahi**
The main ingredient in dondurma is salep,
a flour made from the roots of certain orchids,
**[10:41] Asahi**
which has a thick, stretchy texture.
**[10:44] Asahi**
The chewiness of the ravioli pairs
**[10:46] Asahi**
with the gumminess and becomes
something irresistible!
***SIGN*** French Turkish Italian Indian Chinese

All of these things would usually clash,
**[11:04] Dec**
but they're in perfect harmony here.

This is a dish whose components
should never work so well together!
**[11:17] Anne**

Okay, Yukihira, it's your turn.

Let's see your dish that

**[13:04] Asahi**
I wonder what it could be.
**[13:06] Soma**
Glad you asked.
**[13:09] Soma**
And here's your answer.
**[13:11] Soma**
Fried rice!
**[13:15] All**
What?!
**[13:17] Sarge**
Fried rice combining all five cuisines?
**[13:19] Don**
Wait, did he seriously just
mix them all together?!
**[13:23] Asahi**
Good grief. Where do I even start?
**[13:27] Asahi**
Remember how the judges
didn't even look at your dish
**[13:30] Asahi**
because of the aroma from mine?
**[13:34] Asahi**
My dish is clearly superior in every way.
**[13:37] Asahi**
You really went with fried rice?
Don't make me la—
**[13:41] Asahi**
*What's with this fried rice? Something's wrong.*

**[13:48] Ran**

**[13:51] Ran**
Huh?
**[13:55] Sarge**
What?!
**[13:56] Don**
After just one bite?!
**[14:02] Dec**
The rich pork flavor that lands
on your tongue with a thump...

***SIGN*** Sparkling Water

***SIGN*** Poriyal
**[14:25] Courage**

**[14:27] Courage**
are fried in oil with chilis and mustard seeds.
**[14:30] Dec**
Then he added the French mirepoix.
***SIGN*** Mirepoix
**[14:32] Dec**
The sweetness of those vegetables is
clashing and sparking in my mouth.
**[14:37] Dec**
And the biggest factor that
makes this dish so delicious...
**[14:41] Dec**
is in the rice!
**[14:42] Don**
Well, it *is* fried rice...
**[14:45] Guy**
It looks like fried rice, but it's not.
**[14:48] Guy**
After lightly frying the rice in butter,
it's steamed with soup stock.
**[14:52] Guy**
It's far closer to the
Turkish dish called pilaf.
**[14:56] Charme**
Because it's not fried with oil at the end,
**[14:59] Charme**
all these ingredients come together nicely,
and we can keep eating with ease.
**[15:04] Courage**
Every grain of rice is so distinct!
**[15:08] Courage**
You'd think that it'd be mushier
if it was steamed in stock.
**[15:12] Soma**
* Well, that's because I cooked*
* the rice in a donabe stone pot.*
**[15:15] Anne**
A donabe warms slowly, but can maintain
high temperatures for a long time.
**[15:20] Anne**
That's why it heats the rice evenly,
**[15:23] Anne**
holding a steady temperature while steaming,
**[15:25] Anne**
and steams away the excess water.
**[15:27] Decora**
Using a Turkish pilaf as the cornerstone,
**[15:30] Decora**
he added the soft Chinese dongpo pork,
**[15:33] Decora**
seafood from the Italian acqua pazza...
**[15:36] Courage**
Then the spicy Indian poriyal,
**[15:38] Courage**
and the French mirepoix.
**[15:41] Charme**
It's a special fried rice with
all of those powers combined!
**[15:45] Decora**
He must've steamed the pilaf
in the acqua pazza stock!
**[15:49] Decora**
That's what brought all these flavors together!
**[15:53] Courage**
The kick from the spices in the poriyal
is lessened by the butter and soy sauce,
**[15:57] Courage**
while enhancing the flavors of
the dongpo pork and mirepoix.
**[16:00] Charme**
This tightrope is far too
dangerous to walk on!
**[16:03] Charme**
Everything is clashing so much,
yet it creates an exquisite taste!
**[16:09] Old**
Saiba Asahi's dish is a protagonist
that uses the powers of many chefs.
**[16:15] Old**
He's truly a hero.
**[16:18] Guy**
And then we have Yukihira Soma.
**[16:20] Guy**
In order to create a powerful flavor,
**[16:22] Guy**
he threw a variety of different
flavors into the battle,
**[16:25] Guy**
disturbing peace itself. He is a demon king!
**[16:34] Buns**
Yeah, we're used to this.
**[16:37] Ryoko**
It seems like a mess...
**[16:39] Niku**
But he turns it into a dish

**[16:41] Isa**
Yukihira-kun will be able to get there.

**[18:03] Soma**

**[18:10] Anne**
* I'm certain that Mr. Yukihira's*

**[18:13] Anne**
* but Mana-sama's expectations*
* are extremely high.*
**[18:17] Anne**
*Will she be all right?*
**[18:20] Mana**
*This awkwardness... This is...*
**[18:27] Mana**
Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!
**[18:30] Mana**
I never could've imagined
this exquisite flavor!
**[18:34] Mana**
*It's filling my mouth! My nose! My brain!*
**[18:38] Mana**
*It keeps rising!*
**[18:40] Don**
No way!
**[18:41] Sarge**
But it was clear that Asahi-sama's dish
was superior from the smell alone!
**[18:45] Asahi**
I knew it. That's why
I had that awkward feeling.
**[18:49] Asahi**
Despite the fact that this fried rice uses
so much spice, butter, and soy sauce,
**[18:54] Asahi**
you could barely smell it.
**[18:57] Sarge**
What?
**[18:58] Soma**
The secret lies in the slightly bizarre
oeuf mayonnaise I whipped up.
**[19:03] Megu**
Oeuf mayonnaise... A popular
dish at French bistros.
**[19:07] Taku**
Hard-boiled eggs with a runny center
**[19:09] Taku**
are coated with a homemade mayonnaise
and garnished with vegetables.
**[19:12] Mana**
The eggs Yukihira Soma used in this dish
**[19:16] Mana**
are soft-boiled and gooey.
**[19:18] Mana**
He then took special mayonnaise, as well as
the eggs, and blended them into the sauce,
**[19:22] Mana**
coating every single grain
of rice to trap in the flavor.
**[19:27] Mana**
By flipping the rice over and
over in a wok at extremely
**[19:30] Mana**
high temperatures and speeds...
**[19:32] Courage**
Huh?
**[19:33] Décor**
Huh?
**[19:33] Charme**
Huh?!
**[19:35] Mana**
It's such a thin veil of egg that it's
almost impossible to notice at first glance.
**[19:39] Mana**
It basically makes every single grain
an exquisite, miniature omurice.
**[19:43] Mana**
As a result, the moment
you bite into the fried rice,
**[19:46] Mana**
the coating is broken, and all of that
flavor and aroma bursts onto your tongue.
**[19:53] Soma**
Yup.
**[19:55] Soma**
This dish hides its fangs
when it's first served,
**[19:58] Soma**
and then attacks the customer at
full power once it's consumed.
**[20:02] Soma**
I call it Odorless Fried Rice.
**[20:04] Don**
But that's just impossible!
**[20:06] Don**
The rice was already cooked to perfection
when he steamed it in the donabe!
**[20:09] Sarge**
One moment of hesitation, and it
would've been overcooked and ruined.
**[20:14] Sarge**
How could you possibly come up with this idea?!
**[20:16] Soma**
I learned it from a chef I know.
**[20:20] Soma**
My mom... From one of her failed dishes.
**[20:27] (Flashback) Mom**
*Dig in!*
**[20:28] (Flashback) Mom**
Here's your fried rice!
**[20:30] (Flashback) Guy**
Let's see if today's a winner or a loser...

**[20:37] (Flashback) Mom**
Whoopsie.
**[20:39] (Flashback) Guy**
The outside is burnt so nicely that
it almost looks like a bowling ball.
**[20:43] (Flashback) Guy**
You cooked it way too much.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Guy**
But the rice inside is pretty good.
**[20:47] (Flashback) Jo**
Talk about some interesting fried rice.
**[20:49] Soma**
The first dish my mom ever taught
me to cook was also fried rice.
**[20:57] Soma**
Saiba Asahi, without a doubt,
you've got plenty of amazing tools
**[21:02] Soma**
and can probably make
whatever flavors you want.
**[21:04] Soma**
But there's just one flavor
I know about that you don't.
**[21:10] Soma**
The taste of failure.
**[21:12] Soma**
That's the cornerstone of this dish.
**[21:17] Asahi**
Talentless losers like you
sure say some amazing things.
**[21:21] Asahi**
The taste of failure?!
**[21:22] Asahi**
I sure the hell don't know it!
**[21:24] Asahi**
What's that supposed to mean?! How stupid!
**[21:27] Asahi**
I'm the best! And the best doesn't
need something like that!
**[21:38] Megu**
That sound... Is it the Gifting?
**[21:46] Girls**
No!
***SIGN*** Best in Japan
**[21:50] Sarge**
That means the Bookmaster...
**[21:53] Don**
...has deemed this dish on
par with Asahi-sama's?!
**[21:56] Megu**
She had the same reaction... Then...
**[21:59] Taku**
Who's the victor?
**[22:00] Erina**
Is it Saiba Asahi or...

**[00:03] Mana**
It appears that Saiba Asahi's dish
**[00:06] Mana**
is basty.
**[00:21] Dad**
Mana's Gifting.
**[00:22] Asahi**
And I'm the one who's going to take
**[00:24] Asahi**
the first seat in the next
generation of the culinary world!
**[00:33] Mana**
What's this dish?
**[00:35] Soma**
I call it Odorless Fried Rice.
**[00:37] Mana**
* I keep getting dragged further*
* in with every bite I take...*
**[00:42] Mana**
* Into the storm this boy*
* is trying to get through.*
**[00:46] Soma**
Dig... *in*...
**[00:46] Mana**
*Actually, what created the storm...*
**[00:51] Mana**
*is this boy's magic!*
**[00:55] Girls**
Eek!
**[00:57] Guys**
It reached all the way over here!
**[01:00] Megu**
She had the same reaction. Then...
**[01:02] Taku**
Who's the victor?
**[01:04] Erina**
Is it Saiba Asahi or...
**[01:10] Rantabi**
No way!
**[01:16] Hisa**
The Gifting wave...
**[01:17] Alice**
It's rippling!
**[01:19] Dad**
No.
**[01:20] Dad**
This phenomenon is no ordinary Gifting.

**[03:02] Alice**
What do you mean it's no
ordinary Gifting, Uncle Azami?
**[03:07] Dad**
The Gifting wave sends a wave of deliciousness
to others, causing them to disrobe.
**[03:13] Dad**
But what's happening now isn't disrobing.
**[03:15] Dad**
It's the Bursting, which rips
their clothes to shreds.
***SIGN*** Bursting
**[03:18] Gin**
This somehow surpasses the Gifting
that transmits the Disrobing.
***SIGN*** Disrobing
***SIGN*** Bursting
**[03:22] Gin**
Is this actually an evolved form of the
Gifting that transmits the Bursting?!
**[03:26] Dad**
This is truly something that only the
God Tongue could have achieved...
***SIGN*** God
**[03:30] Dad**
The Divine Gifting!
***SIGN*** Bursting
Gifting
**[03:38] Sarge**
What?!
**[03:44] Hisa**
So it's the Gifting and the
Bursting at the same time?
**[03:46] Hisa**
That must mean it was better than Saiba Asahi's!
**[03:48] Alice**
Yes! Aunt Mana must've found the dish delicious!
**[03:53] Erina**
Yukihira-kun's dish...
**[03:55] Asahi**
How? That's impossible!
**[03:59] Asahi**
There's no chef who's a match
for my Crossed Knives!
**[04:03] Asahi**
There can't be!
**[04:05] Asahi**
There's no way you could've made a
dish more delicious than my basty!
**[04:08] Mana**
I'm sure that if Yukihira Soma's
dish wasn't as delicious as it was,
**[04:12] Mana**
*you would've had no problem winning.*
**[04:16] Mana**
* It's true that Saiba Asahi's*
* basty was also quite exquisite.*
**[04:20] Mana**
I could taste the techniques of countless
chefs woven together in that dish.
**[04:25] Mana**
But once you remove that shell...
**[04:28] Mana**
It's empty.
**[04:30] Mana**
Your personal flavor is nowhere to be found.
**[04:33] Mana**
I'm sure you must've realized that
somewhere within your heart.
**[04:37] Mana**
To avoid the fact that you have no
part of yourself to offer to your dishes,
**[04:42] Mana**
you continued to steal the knives of others.
**[04:46] Mana**
On the other hand, Yukihira Soma
made it known that his flavor
**[04:51] Mana**
was a result of what he learned
from everyone he's encountered.
**[04:56] Mana**
*Now, it is time for the deliberations.*
**[04:59] Mana**
*Bookmen, announce your results.*
**[05:02] Soma**
* You kept bragging about how*
* you'd surpassed Joichiro,*
**[05:07] Soma**
* but the image of my dad that I've*
* been chasing ever since I was a kid*
**[05:11] Soma**
*was way stronger than you could ever be.*
***SIGN*** Yukihira Soma Saiba Asahi
**[05:23] Ran**
The winner is Yukihira Soma!
**[05:26] Soma**
Glad you liked it!
**[05:27] Polar**
He did it!
**[05:29] Megu**
Soma-kun!
**[05:31] Taku**
You truly are a remarkable guy.
**[05:33] Hisa**
Yukihira!
**[05:35] Alice**
Not bad.
**[05:46] Asahi**
Well, I guess that's been decided.
**[05:48] Asahi**
You win, Yukihira.
**[05:51] Asahi**
Give this back to Joichiro for me.
**[05:54] Asahi**
Since I couldn't make it to the top of
the BLUE, I'm unworthy of this knife.
**[06:00] Soma**
I don't want it.
**[06:02] Soma**
You won it from my dad
fair and square, didn't you?
**[06:05] Soma**
Then you have every right to hold on to it.
**[06:09] Soma**
More importantly, why the heck did you
want to make Nakiri your bride so badly?
**[06:16] (Flashback) Asahi**
Hey, Joichiro. How do I become a good chef?
**[06:20] (Flashback) Jo**
Huh? Well...
**[06:23] (Flashback) Jo**
I've been wandering around the world
since I left this school called Totsuki.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Jo**
And my passion for cooking
had dwindled a bit.
**[06:33] (Flashback) Jo**
That's when I met my wife.
**[06:36] (Flashback) Jo**
She's such an oddball.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Jo**
She sucks at cooking, but she just
insists on standing in the kitchen.
**[06:41] (Flashback) Asahi**
Huh...
**[06:43] (Flashback) Jo**
Watching her made me
**[06:44] (Flashback) Jo**
feel like an idiot for brooding
over something like this.
**[06:47] (Flashback) Asahi**
So you were able to like
cooking again because of her?
**[06:51] (Flashback) Jo**
That's right. So, Asahi...
**[06:54] (Flashback) Jo**
*The key to becoming a good chef is to*
**[06:56] (Flashback) Jo**
*find someone you feel like you can
offer all of your cooking to.*
**[07:04] Asahi**
Why Princess Erina? Why else?
**[07:07] Asahi**
I want to become stronger,
and she has the God Tongue—
**[07:10] Soma**
Really?
**[07:11] Soma**
To me, it looked like you were
looking for something else.
**[07:19] Asahi**
What are you talking about?
**[07:23] Dad**
*It's strange... Saiba Asahi...*
**[07:26] Dad**
* I sense something in him that*
* I don't sense in anyone else.*
**[07:31] Asahi**
*The reason I wanted to become stronger is...*
**[07:47] Jo**
I'm sure you'll find what
you're looking for someday.
**[07:52] Jo**
And Asahi...
**[07:54] Jo**
No matter what anyone says,
I'm your dad when it comes to cooking.
**[08:01] Asahi**
What are you talking about?
**[08:04] Asahi**
*My own flavor...*
**[08:06] Asahi**
*My own... cooking, huh?*
**[08:08] Sarge**
Asahi-sama!
**[08:11] Asahi**
So I'm quitting Noir.
**[08:14] Asahi**
I was trying to act like the big,
bad boss, and look where it got me.
**[08:17] Asahi**
You guys can do whatever you want.
**[08:19] Sarge**
Then we'll go with you! We'll follow
you to the ends of the earth!
**[08:23] Asahi**
You're so weird. Nothing good is gonna
come out of following me around.
**[08:27] Sarge**
Asahi-sama!
**[08:30] Kuga**
It's too bad those jokers put a black mark
on your perfect record, Tsukassan.
**[08:36] Tsuka**
Actually, I'm grateful.
**[08:39] Tsuka**
They taught me what I was lacking.
**[08:42] Tsuka**
If they're true chefs,
**[08:44] Tsuka**
they'll use this defeat as motivation
and strive for new heights.
**[08:50] Tsuka**
I need to work harder myself.
**[08:55] Kuga**
I'm seriously no match for you, Tsukassan.
**[08:58] Buns**
Yukihira!
**[09:00] Ryoko**
Good job out there.
**[09:02] Soma**
Thanks.
**[09:03] Taku**
I'm sure Yukihira might've been in
trouble if my mezzaluna had been stolen.
**[09:08] Niku**
You were awesome! You really
showed those Crossed Knives!
**[09:11] Megu**
And the Bookmaster
acknowledged your dish, too.
**[09:16] Soma**
Yup!
**[09:17] Mana**
*Don't get the wrong idea, Yukihira Soma.*
**[09:20] Mana**
* It's true that your dish was in*
* the realm of deliciousness.*
**[09:26] Mana**
* But it still doesn't reach the*
* dimension I'm yearning for.*
**[09:30] Soma**
Huh... Even though it earned a combo
of the Gifting and the Bursting?
**[09:35] Soma**
You sure are greedy.
**[09:36] Mana**
*Don't get ahead of yourself.*
**[09:38] Mana**
* There's no way this one dish could have*
* surpassed what I've endured all these years.*
**[09:45] Mana**
* Show me an even more*
* delicious dish in the finals.*
**[09:51] Ryoko**
That's right! The finals!
**[09:53] Buns**
Yeah! Erinacchi and Yukihira
are fighting next!
**[09:56] Guy**
That's insane! It's gonna be a battle
between two Totsuki students!
**[09:59] Guy**
I don't even know who to cheer for!
**[10:01] Alice**
Congratulations, Yukihira-kun!
**[10:04] Hisa**
Well done, Yukihira.
**[10:07] Soma**
Thanks, thanks.
**[10:08] Soma**
Hey, Nakiri, good luck tomorrow.
**[10:11] Soma**
Let's have a good ma—
**[10:17] Hisa**
Erina-sama?
**[10:18] Megumi**
Nakiri-san?
**[10:32] Dad**
Pardon me.
**[10:34] Mana**
It's been a while, Azami.
**[10:37] Dad**
Mana...
**[10:38] Mana**
Why the long face?
**[10:41] Mana**
About six months ago, you were bragging
about being the director of Totsuki.
**[10:48] Mana**
I'm sure you were just tormenting
everyone who was in your way.
**[10:53] Mana**
I can see it now.
**[10:55] Dad**
Well, you left without saying a word and
suddenly became the Bookmaster of the WGO.
**[11:00] Dad**
That's quite high and mighty of you.
And you still don't know when to shut up, I see.
**[11:05] Mana**
Shut up, Doom and Gloom!
**[11:07] Dad**
Can it! Your eyebrows are weird!
**[11:11] Mana**
This reminds me of when we first met.
**[11:15] Dad**
It does.
**[11:16] Mana**
You were basically nothing more
than an empty shell back then.
**[11:21] Dad**
I was completely empty after Saiba-senpai left.
**[11:26] Dad**
I did jobs in and out of the country
as part of the Elite Ten,
**[11:30] Dad**
but there was no life left in my cooking.
**[11:33] Dad**
But then...
**[11:34] (Flashback) Mana**
Who made this dish?
**[11:37] (Flashback) Dad**
It was me.
**[11:38] (Flashback) Mana**
This tastes like a pack of
mountain gorillas that forgot
**[11:42] (Flashback) Mana**
how to drum from the despair of
their hot springs being lukewarm.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Dad**
Pardon?
**[11:47] (Flashback) Mana**
What an absolutely awful dish.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Mana**
There's no passion in it at all.

You must be feeling some anger or resentment.
**[11:59] (Flashback) Mana**
Then figure out how to turn those
feelings into something delicious.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Mana**
That is how a Totsuki chef should be.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Dad**
I'll make you take back those words.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Mana**
*Honestly, how gloomy can someone be?*
**[12:13] (Flashback) Dad**
*That woman never knows when to shut up.*
**[12:15] (Flashback) Dad**
*And her eyebrows are weird.*
**[12:18] Dad**
*I wanted to defeat her with my flavor.*
**[12:20] Dad**
*That's all that was on my mind back then.*

You helped me regain my passion for cooking.
**[12:45] Dad**
With you, I could go anywhere
on the gourmet horizon.
**[12:50] Dad**
At least, that's what I thought.
**[12:56] Dad**
But...
**[12:57] (Flashback) Erina**
Not enough depth of flavor.
**[12:59] (Flashback) Lady**
Oh, dear... Maybe I'm not good enough.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Dad**
It looks like Erina also has the God Tongue!
**[13:05] (Flashback) Mana**
Two generations in a row?
**[13:08] (Flashback) Mana**
Erina must endure this suffering, too?
**[13:12] Dad**
The God Tongue is destined to
suffer and waste away to nothing.
**[13:16] Dad**
But your progression was too fast
for me to keep supporting you.
**[13:22] Jo**
I guess you had your hands full, too.
**[13:25] Dad**
Saiba-senpai...
**[13:27] Dad**
And Senzaemon-dono...
You were here the whole time?
**[13:29] Jo**
Well, you started reminiscing,
so interrupting would've been awkward.
**[13:35] Mana**
There was something I wanted to find out.
**[13:38] Mana**
That's why I asked for my father's
assistance to discuss things a bit prior.
**[13:42] Mana**
This does involve you somewhat, too.
**[13:45] Dad**
What?
**[13:46] Jo**
I always had a feeling that he was like you.
**[13:51] Jo**
That might also be why I felt
like I had to take care of him.
**[13:55] Dad**
What are you talking about?
**[13:57] Mana**
The possessor of the God
Tongue is able to learn about
**[14:00] Mana**
what the chef who created
the dish is feeling inside.
**[14:02] Mana**
There are even times when I can
visualize their mental state.
**[14:07] Mana**
The first dish I ever tasted from you
was empty, lacking any passion.
**[14:13] Mana**
And the dish I tasted earlier
had the exact same taste.
**[14:18] Mana**
I wouldn't have even
thought a stranger made it.
**[14:22] Mana**
I'm talking about Saiba Asahi's dish.

**[16:17] (Flashback) Soma**
Hey, Nakiri.
**[16:19] (Flashback) Soma**
I managed to get this far.

Here you go!
**[16:34] (Flashback) Soma**
In order to beat Senpai,
**[16:36] (Flashback) Soma**
we need to hit him with two specialties
filled with everything we've got.
**[16:40] (Flashback) Soma**
Our course has to be on that level.
**[16:43] (Flashback) Soma**
Come at me,
**[16:45] (Flashback) Soma**
and put everything you have
**[16:48] (Flashback) Soma**
into your specialty!
**[16:51] (Flashback) Erina**
I, Erina, will show you the
true power of my God Tongue!
**[16:58] (Flashback) Erina**
I'm sure my mother would be disappointed
**[17:00] (Flashback) Erina**
if I, a fellow possessor of the
God Tongue, won the tournament.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Erina**
Because I don't have the hope that
can save my mother from her despair.

Yes.
**[18:45] Megu**
It's like she has no idea where she's headed,
but something's pushing her to cook.
**[18:50] Gramps**
After Mana left the mansion,
I came to this realization.
**[18:54] Gramps**
That the tragedy that befell
the prior God Tongues and Mana
**[18:59] Grampss**
would eventually befall Erina, too.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Gramps**
There must be some way.
**[19:05] (Flashback) Gramps**
I cannot leave this world without saving
**[19:07] (Flashback) Gramps**
either my daughter or my granddaughter.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Gramps**
I cannot!
**[19:12] (Flashback) Gramps**
I will not let Erina outside of Totsuki.
**[19:16] (Flashback) Gramps**
I will enroll her in Totsuki from middle school.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Guy**
What?
**[19:22] (Flashback) Gramps**
If we can train Erina's skills
to the fullest as a chef,
**[19:25] (Flashback) Gramps**
we might be able to save her from
being swallowed up in the storm.
**[19:28] (Flashback) Soei**
But Father, it's always been custom to
raise the Nakiri children outside of...
***SIGN*** Mana's Older Brother
Nakiri Soei
**[19:35] (Flashback) Gramps**
I don't give a shit about customs!
**[19:37] (Flashback) Gramps**
I need you to gather the rocks that
will help refine Erina's skills!
**[19:43] (Flashback) Gramps**
The Generation of Prodigies!
**[19:47] (Flashback) Gramps**
Professor Hayama...
**[19:49] (Flashback) Gramps**
I heard that Shiomi-kun found a
rather interesting boy overseas.
**[19:54] (Flashback) Gramps**
Why don't we nurture this
boy in Japan, at our school?
***SIGN*** Nakiri International
**[19:59] (Flashback) Alice**
Father, please!
**[20:01] (Flashback) Alice**
When we go back to Japan,
I want to take Ryo-kun, too!
**[20:04] (Flashback) Soei**
You mean the boy who works
at the pub by the fishing pier?
**[20:08] (Flashback) Soei**
To help my younger sister Mana,
I will also assist my father with his plan.
**[20:13] (Flashback) Alice**
Huh?
**[20:14] Sign**
Tuscany, Italy
**[20:15] (Flashback) Guy**
What?
**[20:17] (Flashback) Guy**
You want Takumi and Isami to enroll
in Totsuki Academy in Japan?
**[20:20] (Flashback) Guy**
I mean, as their uncle, I do
believe they're brilliant chefs.
**[20:25] (Flashback) Mom**
Send Megumi to Totsuki Academy?
**[20:29] (Flashback) Soei**
The daughter of the head of the Mito Group...
**[20:31] (Flashback) Soei**
Excellent.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Diner
**[20:39] (Flashback) Jo**
You just don't give up, do you?
**[20:41] (Flashback) Jo**
All right, fine. I give.
**[20:43] (Flashback) Jo**
But don't blame me if Soma ends up
**[20:45] (Flashback) Jo**
flipping the table on your
precious granddaughter.
**[20:48] Gramps**
I was well aware that this was an arrogant
plan that favored my own flesh and blood.
**[20:53] Gramps**
But I didn't care what I had to sacrifice.
***SIGN*** Fail
**[20:55] Gramps**
I would turn Erina into hope.
**[20:58] Gramps**
How do you like that, my daughter?
There is hope in cooking!
**[21:02] Gramps**
I did all this to make you see that!
**[21:06] Gramps**
I can truly sense your love for your
daughter and granddaughter.
**[21:09] Gramps**
I'm nothing more than a doting
parent and grandfather.
**[21:11] Gramps**
And in the end, all I did was set the stage.
**[21:16] Erina**
*I have to do this...*
**[21:18] Erina**
*It has to be me... Me!*

**[21:38] Erina**
*Even my future is set in stone.*

Well, this is pretty boring.

How the hell am I supposed

The theme is... a dish the world has never seen.
**[00:15] Erina**
* I am the director of Totsuki Academy.*
* I am the God Tongue.*
**[00:20] Erina**
*I have to be the one who makes it!*
**[00:22] Erina**
*But what can I even do?*
**[00:25] Erina**
*Mother told me herself*
**[00:27] Erina**
*that she doesn't expect anything from me.*
**[00:30] Mana**
* I don't even need to see her face to know*
* that she's just like how I used to be.*
**[00:35] Mana**
* Erina is about to be*
* swallowed up by the storm.*
**[00:40] Mana**
*You mustn't follow your mother.*
**[00:43] Mana**
* Sooner or later, the God Tongue*
* will inevitably fall into despair.*
**[00:47] Mana**
*Even I'm still trying to struggle in vain.*
**[00:51] Mana**
*The prospect of ever finding*
**[00:53] Mana**
* the one dish this world has never*
* seen to clear the storm is grim.*
**[00:57] Mana**
*I put some hope in the Crossed Knives,*
**[00:59] Mana**
*but it was all for naught.*
**[01:01] Erina**
*The only option left for us...*
**[01:04] Mana and Erina**
* ...is to curse the fact that we*
* were born with the God Tongue.*
**[01:12] Soma**
Well, this is pretty boring.
**[01:15] Soma**
How the hell am I supposed
to be happy when I win
**[01:18] Soma**
if you look like that when you're cooking?
***SIGN*** Yukihira Diner
**[01:21] Soma**
All right. I know what I'm making.
**[01:24] Soma**
Just you wait, Nakiri Erina!
**[01:27] (Flashback) Soma**
Hang onto your seat,
**[01:28] (Flashback) Soma**
Examiner Nakiri!
**[01:31] Buns**
Looks like Yukihira finally
decided what he's gonna make.
**[01:34] Ryoko**
Wait, did he just taste Nakiri-san's
sauce without asking?
**[01:42] Gramps**
*The Generation of Prodigies plan that was*
**[01:45] Gramps**
*set in motion to save Mana and Erina...*
**[01:47] Gramps**
*Was this plan a success or a failure?*
**[01:51] Gramps**
* That will all depend on the*
* results of these young chefs*
**[01:54] Gramps**
*clashing with one another up until this day.*
**[01:59] Soma**
*Seriously, what's with that face of yours?*
**[02:02] Soma**
*We all know you're not like that.*
**[02:04] Soma**
* You're the chick who's always looking down*
* on me from on high and provoking me.*
**[02:08] Soma**
*That's who you are!*
**[02:10] Soma**
*That's been our whole history together!*
**[02:15] Soma**

**[02:55] Soma**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[03:00] Mana**
Tell me. What is this dish?
**[03:02] Soma**
I'm glad you asked.
**[03:04] Soma**
It's a tempura bowl with
egg as the main ingredient.
**[03:08] Niku**
Tempura bowl?!
**[03:09] Erina**
*Is it the dish from before?*
**[03:12] (Flashback) Soma**
Here you go, Nakiri Erina-dono.
**[03:15] (Flashback) Soma**
Today's the day I'll make
you say "delicious!"
**[03:20] (Flashback) Soma**
It's a Chicken's Egg Tempura Bowl!
**[03:23] Soma**
I made two bowls of this dish,
so I'd like the Bookmaster to eat it...
**[03:29] Soma**
and you as well, Nakiri.
**[03:33] Soma**
This isn't the same dish you had before.
**[03:36] Soma**
I couldn't make you say it
was delicious the last time.
**[03:39] Soma**
I've actually been secretly
**[03:41] Soma**
thinking about how I could change
up the dish for a while now.
**[03:46] Soma**
*Eat up, Nakiri Erina.*
**[03:49] Soma**
I call this my Soma-Style Eggs
Benedict Over Rice Fit for a Queen.
***SIGN*** Soma-Style
***SIGN*** Eggs Benedict Over Rice Fit for a Queen
**[03:55] Erina**
*Eggs Benedict?!*
**[04:01] Soma**
Dig in.
**[04:06] Copycat**
We made it in time.
**[04:16] Some**
Look, look!
**[04:39] Erina**
*How... How can this be so delicious?*
**[04:42] Erina**
*The sauce that covers the whole dish...*
**[04:44] Erina**
* This is a Japanese-style Hollandaise sauce*
* accented with yuzu salt and soy sauce.*
***SIGN*** Soy Sauce
**[04:50] Mana**
* Then there's pork grilled to a*
* crisp that's balanced perfectly*
**[04:53] Mana**
* with the light flavors of the shio kombu*
* and shiso leaves mixed into the rice.*
**[04:59] Erina**
* The star of the dish... the crispy tempura*
* egg that melts on the top of your tongue...*
**[05:04] Erina**
* He must have deep-fried it*
* after making it a poached egg.*
**[05:07] Mana**
*The egg white couldn't possibly be any softer...*
**[05:10] Mana**
* The yolk is velvety smooth,*
* to the point that it's almost raw...*
**[05:14] Erina**
* But the fact that he was able to*
* bread that soft-boiled egg...*
**[05:18] Mana**
* ...and deep fry it while somehow*
* retaining its shape...*
**[05:21] Both**
* That's utterly impossible unless*
* the chef has superhuman skill.*
**[05:26] Erina**
*Just how much did he actually improve?*
**[05:29] Erina**
*And just for this dish...*
**[05:31] Soma**
The Eggs Benedict takes you back, doesn't it?
**[05:34] Soma**
Instead of a muffin, I used the mixed
rice you'd find at a Japanese diner,
**[05:37] Soma**
then I modified the poached egg, bacon,
and Hollandaise sauce to fit my style.
**[05:43] Erina**
* Yes... I made Eggs Benedict*
* during our training camp.*
**[05:47] Erina**
* It was the first dish I ever presented*
* in front of Yukihira-kun.*
**[05:52] Soma**
I somehow managed to pass back then,
***SIGN*** Nakiri Erina
400 Servings
**[05:55] Soma**
but numbers-wise,
you totally annihilated me.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Soma
200 Servings
**[05:58] Soma**
That's why I've been researching
your dish ever since.
**[06:02] Soma**
How was your dish better than mine?
**[06:05] Soma**
What changes could I apply
to make it truly my own?
**[06:09] Soma**
All so I could make you say my
dish was "delicious" someday.
**[06:15] Mana**
*All the chefs were always the same.*
**[06:19] Mana**
* As they prepared dish after dish for the*
* God Tongue, they would eventually atrophy,*
**[06:23] Mana**
* and all of their dishes*
* would become dispirited.*
**[06:26] Mana**
*Even Azami tried his best not to hurt me*
**[06:30] Mana**
*and created delicious dishes,*
**[06:32] Mana**
* but he was unable to make*
* a dish that could surpass 100%.*
**[06:36] Mana**
*And yet, this boy...*
**[06:39] Mana**
*This Yukihira Soma...*
**[06:41] Soma**
Nakiri...
**[06:42] Soma**
Right now, you've completely
forgotten who you're cooking for.
**[06:49] Soma**
Honestly, all that whining and
whimpering... It's not like you at all.
**[06:52] Soma**
Quit worrying about pointless things
and be true to yourself.
**[06:55] Soma**
Who do you want to cook for more
than anyone in the world right now?
**[07:15] Erina**
*Yes... He's right.*
**[07:18] Erina**
*I just wanted to hear my mother say,*
**[07:21] Erina**
*"I'd love to eat your cooking, Erina."*
**[07:24] Erina**
*That's all.*
**[07:27] Erina**
*Mother... I've missed you.*
**[07:31] Erina**
*I've missed you so... so much!*
**[07:41] Taku**
That sound...
**[07:42] Megu**
What could it be?
***SIGN*** Best in Japan

What the?

Glasses, glasses...
**[07:52] Buns**
Im sure I still have my clothes on...
**[07:54] Ryoko**
But I feel so free!
**[07:56] Isami**
This feels so good...
**[07:58] Hisa**
Is it the Gifting?
**[08:00] Niku**
No, it's slightly different.
**[08:05] Tsuka**
I can feel the wavelengths of all the
ingredients, so happy to be cooked...
**[08:14] Gin**
My heart is dancing!
**[08:16] Gramps**
A new form of Gifting from Mana and Erina!
**[08:20] Azami**
It's surpassed the Divine Gifting.
**[08:27] Anne**
This is a warmth that humanity's
never encountered before!
**[08:31] Megu**
It's so gentle, yet intense.
**[08:34] Taku**
This is truly... the Exquisite Dish!
***SIGN*** Exquisite Dish
**[08:49] Asahi**
Huh...
**[08:52] Guy**
What the hell is this?!
**[09:01] Alice**
The castle keep...
**[09:02] Hisa**
It disrobed?!
**[09:05] Azami**
The Gifting pulse reached the castle!
**[09:07] Azami**
It actually affected a building?!
**[09:09] Gramps**
A phenomenon like this has never been
seen, even in the Nakiris' long history!
**[09:14] Gin**
Her powers as a chef have improved and
**[09:17] Gin**
actually magnified her Gifting pulse, as well?!
**[09:26] Taku**
Yukihira!
**[09:27] Megu**
Nakiri-san!
**[09:29] Taku**
You've finally made the God Tongue quiver!
**[09:31] Megu**
That's amazing, Soma-kun! You finally
made Nakiri-san say something's delici—
**[09:34] Erina**
It's disgusting.

**[09:45] Both**
Erina-sama!
**[09:47] Mana**
I see... I think I finally
understand somewhat.
**[09:51] Mana**
To be like that boy... and just completely
devote yourself to one person...
**[09:58] Mana**
That might be the path that leads to the
dish this world has never seen before.
**[10:05] Erina**
Just you wait. I'll let you taste the best
dish the God Tongue has ever created.
**[10:11] Erina**
Why are you smirking like that?!
**[10:13] Soma**
Well, I mean... You're probably just
going to be prickly like that forever.
**[10:18] Erina**
I'm just letting you know your place!
**[10:22] Erina**
Anyway, I still don't plan to let
you beat me in the future, either!
**[10:29] Soma**
And I'm not planning on giving up, either.
**[10:31] Soma**
Not until I make you say "delicious."

**[12:12] Niku**
You got second place! You should be proud!
**[12:15] Soma**
Dad!
**[12:16] Soma**
I'm gonna re-train.
**[12:19] Soma**
I didn't achieve my goal of
taking the top at the BLUE,
**[12:22] Soma**
so I'm not fit to take over Yukihira just yet!
**[12:25] Jo**
I mean, you've already got my approval, but...
**[12:27] Soma**
Once I get stronger, I'll come back
and ask you to let me take over!
**[12:33] Jo**
Actually, you can take over already...
Not that he's listening.
**[12:33] Soma**
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
**[12:36] Taku**
But I was really surprised.
**[12:38] Isami**
To think that the reason you and
Kuga-senpai came to the BLUE
**[12:42] Isami**
wasn't just to observe...
**[12:44] Isshi**
Yup.
**[12:45] Isshi**
We were secretly following Noir.
**[12:49] Kuga**
I'm super awesome, even as a spy!
**[12:53] Kuga**
I made sure I did my job.
**[12:56] Taku**
And I hear the one who came up
with that plan was Eizan-senpai.
**[13:01] Eizan**
Hmph. I was getting pretty sick
of the underworld chefs myself.
**[13:05] Eizan**
I just thought this would be a good
opportunity to get rid of them.
**[13:08] Mima**
I'm pretty sure I remember you saying...
**[13:11] Mima**
"I wanna save the underworld chefs."
**[13:16] Eizan**
This was all just according to my plan.
**[13:19] Taku**
The Noir Rescue plan.
**[13:21] Mima**
Yup. That's why I decided
to help out, too...
**[13:25] Mima**
by infiltrating Noir.
**[13:29] (Flashback) Mima**
It's me. I've got the figures.
**[13:32] (Flashback) Mima**
There are a lot of guys and goods here.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Mima**
Could I get some backup?
**[13:36] Kuro**
Your intel was actually useful, Mimasaka.
**[13:39] Akira**
Yeah. Because of that, we were able to
squash a deal on some illegal ingredients.
**[13:43] Kuro**
Though that wasn't the only thing.
**[13:46] Alice**
No fair!
**[13:47] Alice**
I can't believe you two were having
so much fun while I was away!
**[13:51] Akira**
Uh, it wasn't actually fun...
**[13:53] Kuro**
Hayama, there's no point
in trying to convince her.
**[13:56] Soma**
Huh...
**[13:58] Soma**
That was right around the time I was in
the semifinals for the BLUE, wasn't it?
**[14:01] Megu**
I heard that you were with
them, too, Kinokuni-senpai.
**[14:05] Nene**
Yes.
**[14:06] Nene**
Momo-senpai and Saito-senpai
also helped out.
**[14:11] (Flashback) Nene**
Can you hear me? There's at
least a hundred of them.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Nene**
I'll leave the east exit to you.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Akira**
Looks like they're here.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Kuro**
We're gonna do...
**[14:19] (Flashback) Kuro**
our own thing!
**[14:21] (Flashback) Akira**
Yeah.
**[14:24] (Flashback) Guy**
Who are you guys?!
**[14:26] (Flashback) Akira**
We're the Elite Ten from Totsuki Academy!
**[14:30] (Flashback) Kuro**
Give this a taste!
**[14:33] (Flashback) Guy**
The harmony of seafood and spices!
**[14:35] (Flashback) Guy**
I can't resist!
**[14:37] (Flashback) Guy**
What the?
**[14:38] (Flashback) Guy**
What a strong aroma.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Guy**
Don't panic! Let's get the goods outta here!
**[14:39] (Flashback) Guy**
I feel weak.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Saito**
Now... let's see if you can handle my blade.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Noir**
Yum!
**[14:51] (Flashback) Noir**

**[14:56] (Flashback) Noir**
Damn it! Let's get outta here!
**[14:58] (Flashback) Noir**
A little girl?
**[15:00] (Flashback) Momo**
Welcome to Momo's world. Enjoy your fill.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Momo**
Love.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Noir**
What a lovely aroma!
**[15:08] (Flashback) Noir**
The damask roses are so nurturing!
***SIGN*** White Noir
**[15:14] (Flashback) Guys**
We won't do any more illegal
trading ever again!
**[15:18] (Flashback) Momo**
You're so cute. So cute.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Saito**
So are you, Akanegakubo.
**[15:24] (Flashback) Guy**
As long as Saiba Asahi wins the BLUE,
Noir will control the world's ingredients!
**[15:29] (Flashback) Nene**
Die.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Guy**
Thank you so much!
**[15:33] (Flashback) Eizan**
We're just finishing up.
How are things over there?
**[15:37] (Flashback) Isshi**
He's finished.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Soma Saiba Asahi
**[15:41] (Flashback) Soma**
Glad you liked it!
**[15:44] (Flashback) Nene**
Now Noir will officially disband.
**[15:47] Isshi**
You worked so hard, Kinokuni, even though
roughhousing didn't seem to be your thing.
**[15:50] Nene**
More importantly, why are you the only one
here naked other than that stupid apron?
**[15:54] Nene**
You idiot!
***SIGN*** Jiggle

**[15:58] Taku**
I see our senpais never change...
**[15:58] Nene**
You idiot... Idiot... Y-Your butt... You idiot!
**[16:00] Isami**
I heard that Rindo-senpai
and Megishima-senpai
**[16:04] Isami**
took out a huge smuggling ring overseas, too.
**[16:05] Nene**
You idiot! You idiot!
**[16:08] Both**
Really?!
***SIGN*** Paris
**[16:13] Tsuka**
Hey.
**[16:14] Rindo**
Good work.
**[16:16] Rindo**
Thanks to all the attention you
were getting at the BLUE,
**[16:19] Rindo**
the Noir guys over here had their guard down.
**[16:22] Rindo**
It was easy-peasy!
**[16:24] Tsuka**
Wait. Then was my job to...
**[16:28] (Flashback) Rindo**
Take that!
**[16:33] (Flashback) Guy**
Ow!
**[16:33] (Flashback) Guy**
The air is so spicy!
**[16:34] (Flashback) Guy**
It burns!
**[16:35] (Flashback) Guy**
My eyes!
**[16:36] (Flashback) Rindo**
We'll be taking those unusual ingredients back.
**[16:39] (Flashback) Guys**
C'est bon!
***SIGN*** Delicious
**[16:42] Tsuka**
I see. Good work, you two.
**[16:45] Rindo**
You're not only a great chef, but you
make an excellent decoy, Tsukasa.
***SIGN*** Stiff
**[16:50] Tsuka**
What?
**[16:51] Megi**
Kobayashi, how are you feeling right now?
**[16:56] Rindo**
Let's see...
**[16:58] Rindo**
I don't think I've ever felt this
refreshed before in my life!
**[17:04] Tsuka**
Same here.
**[17:05] Tsuka**
I'm glad if I was actually
able to help you out, Rindo.
**[17:11] Megu**
I guess everyone was working really hard
while we were competing in the BLUE.
**[17:16] Kuro**
And you guys did pretty well holding
out against those Noir guys.
**[17:21] Akira**
We're proud to be fellow
Totsuki students with you.
**[17:24] Mima**
Yeah. You should be proud.
**[17:27] Megu**
Thank you.
**[17:29] Taku**
By the way, is Nakiri-san not coming?
**[17:32] ryoko**
She said she had something important
to take care of back home today.
**[17:36] Buns**
I guess Miss Secretary headed over there, too.
**[17:40] Alice**
Today's the day Auntie Mana's
returning to the mansion.
**[17:44] Niku**
Wow. I guess we should tell Yukihira, too.
**[17:47] Jo**
Yeah... About that.
***SIGN*** Yeah, I'm gonna be training overseas or something. Probably for several months.
***SIGN*** Yukihira Soma
**[17:53] All**
What?!
**[18:13] Erina**
Welcome home, Mother.
**[18:16] Mana**
Thank you, Erina.
**[18:19] Mana**
I'll be looking forward to
your dishes every day now.
**[18:23] Mana**
You are the WGO Bookmaster's
personal chef now, after all.
**[18:27] Erina**
Yes, it is an honor.
**[18:29] Mana**
Fear not.
**[18:31] Mana**
I have prepared my bucket just in
case your dishes are not up to par.
**[18:35] Erina**
That is quite all right. I will gladly
bring you down a notch or two.
**[18:42] Erina**
Maybe one day we'll be able
to have a meal as a family.
**[18:46] Erina**
If only Father would come home, too.
**[18:49] Mana**
But Azami's right there.
**[18:51] Erina**
What?!
**[18:52] Erina**
Huh?! Father?!
**[18:55] Dad**
I'm sorry for startling you.
**[18:57] Dad**
I had something I needed to
tell you about Saiba Asahi.
**[19:01] Dad**
And I also...
**[19:05] Dad**
came to say goodbye.
**[19:08] Dad**
Before I met Mana, there was a
time I became extremely careless.
**[19:15] Dad**
And it was then...
***SIGN*** New York
**[19:18] Asahi**
I just happened to look into my roots
so I could find my own flavor.
**[19:23] Asahi**
But to think...
**[19:25] Asahi**
Funny, isn't it?
**[19:27] Sarge**
What are you going to do now?
**[19:30] Asahi**
Now? It's not like I have anything...
**[19:34] Erina**
Well, that's good to hear.
**[19:37] Asahi**
Princess Erina.
**[19:38] Sarge**
Why are you here?
**[19:39] Erina**
If we're to satisfy the extremely
picky Bookmaster's tastes,
**[19:43] Erina**
we can never have enough skilled chefs.
**[19:47] Erina**
Don't you agree, Father?
**[19:50] Azami**
Yes. I've come for you.
**[19:55] (Flashback) Azami**
*I'll leave the Nakiri Family.*
**[19:57] (Flashback) Azami**
I irresponsibly left a child all alone.
**[20:01] (Flashback) Azami**
I cannot continue to bear the Nakiri name.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Erina**
You're absolutely awful, Father.
**[20:10] (Flashback) Erina**
Honestly, how can you snivel like that?
**[20:13] (Flashback) Erina**
Well, let's go.
**[20:16] (Flashback) Azami**
Huh?
**[20:18] Erina**
If we cannot all enjoy a meal together,
**[20:21] Erina**
how could we possibly consider carrying
on the prestigious Nakiri family name?
**[20:26] Erina**
We're family, after all. Am I wrong,
**[20:29] Erina**
Asahi-oniisama?
**[20:32] Mana**
That will do just fine. The Nakiri family
needs no more lonely chefs.
**[20:48] Erina**
*Yukihira-kun...*

Hey, you're already here? I'm home.
**[21:16] Soma**
How've you been, Nakiri?
**[21:17] Erina**
Welcome back, Yukihira-kun.
**[21:20] Erina**
Do you have anything else to say to me,
since you called me here
**[21:22] Erina**
when I'm terribly busy?
**[21:24] Soma**
Yeah, thanks for that.
**[21:26] Erina**
Is that it?!
**[21:27] Erina**
You even skipped out on the
third-year advancement exams
**[21:29] Erina**
and could be held back at any time,
**[21:31] Erina**
yet I let you take some time off from school!
**[21:34] Soma**
Yeah, I know, I know. And I'm grateful.
**[21:37] Erina**
* I thought I'd be able to cook*
* by your side from now on.*
**[21:40] Soma**
I went all around the world and
absorbed all kinds of techniques.
**[21:45] Erina**
*Yet you left without saying anything to me.*
**[21:49] Soma**
Today's the day I'm finally gonna
make you say my dish is delicious.
**[21:53] Erina**
* Before I realized it,*
* both your dishes and you...*
**[21:57] Erina**
*became what my heart longed for.*
**[22:00] Soma**
So, what would you like to eat?
**[22:02] Erina**
Let's see what you've got.
I'll take the chef's special.
**[22:08] Soma**
Comin' right up.
**[22:11] Megu**
Welcome home, Soma-kun!
**[22:13] Buns**
We're gonna butt in!
**[22:14] Ryoko**
You seem well.
**[22:15] Taku**
I'll need you to take me on again.
**[22:17] Soma**
Hey, looks like everyone's here.
**[22:19] Erina**
Do you have enough ingredients?
**[22:21] Glasses**
So this is Yukihira's home,
the one I've heard so much about.
**[22:24] Shun**
It's a nice place, just as I imagined it'd be.
**[22:27] Guy**
That shopping district out there is awesome!
**[22:29] Guy**
There was a cutie at the bento shop, too!
**[22:31] Akira**
You've got some nerve leaving
behind your Elite Ten duties.
**[22:35] Alice**
We had to do your work for you,
Yukihira-kun! It was such a pain!
**[22:39] Kuro**
Though you basically made us do it.
**[22:43] Soma**
For now, why don't you guys have
some appetizers while you wait?
**[22:47] Megu**
Appetizers?
**[22:48] Ryoko**
Like what?
**[22:48] Buns**
Ooh, I want some!
**[22:50] Soma**
Squid legs and peanuts soaked in coffee,
habanero sweet-and-sour pork style,
**[22:53] Soma**
stewed in mint sauce.
**[22:55] Erina**
Uh?!
**[22:55] Megu**
Th-Th-Th-This is a bit...
**[22:57] Soma**
Come on, no need to hold back!
