    Hey, Soma-kun!

    What's up, Tadokoro?
[00:31] M
    Oh, um, I just think it's not safe to be
    lost in your thoughts when you're driving.
[00:37] S
    Oh, sorry.
[00:38] S
    You're right.
[00:39] S
    I just got this scooter.
[00:41] S
    It'd be sad if I got into an accident.
[00:44] M
    So were you thinking about the Elite Ten?
[00:48] S
    Yeah, I guess.
[00:51] M
    That's right.

    Soma-kun, myself, and others who made it

[01:32] M
    And of course Soma-kun went right up
    to the A-team of upperclassmen...
[01:39] (Flashback) S
    I want to join the Elite Ten right now.
[01:42] (Flashback) S
    Would anyone be willing to accept
    a Shokugeki challenge from me?
[01:45] (Flashback) Takumi
    Hey, Yukihira!
[01:49] S
    Well, I sure got turned down pretty quick.
[01:53] S
    That was a downer.
[01:54] M
    Yeah...
[01:55] M
    It almost gave me a heart attack.
[01:57] S
    I should've waited until everyone
    relaxed a bit, I guess.
[02:01] M
    I don't think that was the problem...
[02:04] M
    I still get chills thinking about it.
[02:07] M
    The Totsuki Elite Ten were amazing people.
[02:11] M
    The cake by the fourth seat,
    Akanegakubo-senpai, was also...
[02:18] S
    Yeah, that was pretty amazing stuff.
[02:22] S
    I got a pretty strong message about
    how amazing the Elite Ten are.
[02:26] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    I hope we've helped you understand.
[02:28] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    There is a profound difference
    between the abilities of
[02:30] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    those who are the Elite
    Ten and those who are not.
[02:32] (Flashback) Kuga
    So yeah, that's how it is.
[02:35] (Flashback) Kuga
    I think you've figured out the nuances
    of things, at least a little,
[02:39] (Flashback) Kuga
    but we really, seriously, and absolutely
    don't have any time to waste on you guys.
[02:44] (Flashback) Kuga
    But, well, I guess...
[02:46] (Flashback) Kuga
    If, for example, you guys have anything—
    anything at all—
[02:49] (Flashback) Kuga
    cooking-wise that would
    let you guys win over me,
[02:52] (Flashback) Kuga
    I guess I could accept a Shokugeki challenge.
[02:55] (Flashback) Nene
    Their height.
[02:55] (Flashback) Kuga
    I said "cooking-wise," bitch!
[03:00] S
    Kuga-senpai said he's open to
    accepting a Shokugeki challenge,
[03:03] S
    but the conditions are pretty steep
    if I need something I can top him on.
[03:08] S
    It's not like there are even
    other ways of competing with him.
[03:10] M
    You're right.
[03:12] M
    Since he's a second-year, we'd rarely
    be in the same cooking classes, too.
[03:16] S
    Huh?
[03:17] S
    I thought you were against
    the whole idea of me
[03:19] S
    challenging the Elite Ten
    to a Shokugeki, Tadokoro.
[03:21] M
    What?!
[03:22] M
    Y-Yeah.
[03:23] M
    Of course, I wouldn't want you
    to get expelled or anything.
[03:26] M
    But Soma-kun, you're an amazing chef.
[03:30] M
    They may be upperclassmen,
[03:31] M
    but I feel being spoken to that
    way must've been frustrating.
[03:36] S
    Gotcha.
[03:37] S
    Thanks.
[03:43] S
    That's a huge truck.
[03:45] S
    I wonder if they're building something again.
[03:46] M
    Oh, right.
[03:48] M
    It's almost time to prep.
[03:50] S
    Prep?
[03:51] M
    Yeah.
[03:52] M
    Every year, we have an event to
    celebrate the end of autumn.
[03:57] M
    It's Totsuki Academy's school festival.
[03:59] S
    School festival?
[04:01] M
    Yeah, it's called the Moon Festival.
[04:03] M
    If you sign up,
[04:04] M
    you can set up a food booth as an
    individual or as a group participant.
[04:08] M
    Uh, Soma-kun?
[04:11] S

[05:59] S
    Oh, hey, Nakiri!
[06:03] E
    Yukihira-kun...
[06:04] S
    What a coincidence, huh?
[06:06] S
    What class did you just come from?
[06:08] E
    I've told you several times that I don't want
    you starting up conversations with me!
[06:11] E
    Wh-Why isn't Hisako here right now?
[06:14] S
    By the way, are you also
    going to set up a booth?
[06:18] E
    Are you referring to the Moon Festival?
[06:20] E
    Of course I am.
[06:21] E
    The Elite Ten's booths are the main
    attraction at the event every year.
[06:25] S
    Oh, I see.
[06:27] S
    So that means Kuga-senpai's
    gonna have a booth, too.
[06:31] S
    All right, it's getting even better!
[06:33] E
    You can't possibly be...
[06:34] S
    Oh, yeah.
[06:35] S
    I'll join the fight, too.
[06:37] S
    If I can beat Kuga-senpai's booth in sales,
[06:40] S
    I bet he'll accept my challenge!
[06:43] S
    Not to pat myself on the back or anything,
[06:45] S

    neighborhood festival every summer!

[06:54] S
    Let's give it our best, huh.
[06:56] S
    Later, Nakiri.
[06:59] E
    Challenging Kuga-senpai, I see.
[07:02] E
    I wonder if he really understands
    how the Moon Festival actually works.
[07:07] Students
    Okay, one more shot!
[07:09] M
    Oh, so you did decide to sign up for a booth.
[07:12] S
    Right?
[07:13] S
    I think that's my only option.
[07:15] S
    So yeah, Tadokoro.
[07:16] S
    Do you know what type of cuisine
    Kuga-senpai specializes in?
[07:19] S
    Unless I figure that out, I can't
    come up with a counter move.
[07:22] M
    Um, Kuga-senpai specializes
    in Chinese cuisine.
[07:28] S
    Chinese, huh?
[07:30] M
    Oh!
[07:40] M
    Hojo-san!
[07:41] S
    That was a tight dunk...
[07:46] Hojo
    Beat the eight seat, Kuga Terunori?!
[07:50] Hojo
    You're not the guy who challenged
    Shinomiya Kojiro for nothing.
[07:53] Hojo
    You talk a good game.
[07:55] M
    I was in Group B with Hojo-san
    in the Autumn Elections.
[07:59] M
    Hojo-san specializes in Chinese cuisine, too.
[08:02] S
    Oh, really?
[08:05] Hojo
    Unlike Kuga-san, who specializes
    in Sichuan cuisine,
[08:08] Hojo
    my training is broad in scope.
[08:11] Hojo
    So?
[08:12] Hojo
    How many staff members do you have lined up?
[08:15] S
    Staff?
[08:16] S
    It'll just be me.
[08:18] HM
    What?!
[08:19] S
    Huh?
[08:20] S
    But it's just a booth at
    a school festival, right?
[08:22] M
    U-Um...
[08:25] Hojo
    Are you free after school?
[08:28] M
    Oh, I have to go to the Regional Cuisine
    Research Society after school.
[08:32] Hojo
    Oh, just having Yukihira come is fine.
[08:35] Hojo
    You'll get it once you see it.
[08:38] Hojo
    I'll take you to the Chinese Cuisine
    Research Society—
[08:42] Hojo
    Kuga Terunori's stronghold.
[08:47] Staff
    Hup, hup, hup, hup!
[08:51] S
    What the...
[08:53] S
    I guess they're practicing
    wok tosses using dry rice.
[08:56] S
    Still, are they cyborgs or something?
[08:59] S
    How are so many people moving in unison?
[09:03] Kuga
    Okay, one, two!
[09:05] Kuga
    One, two!
[09:06] Kuga
    Good, good, good!
[09:08] Kuga
    Keep it going!
[09:09] Kuga
    Hey, you there! You faltered!
[09:12] Kuga
    What's wrong?!
[09:13] Staff
    M-My apologies, chief!
[09:14] Kuga
    You idiot!
[09:15] Kuga
    How could you possibly manage
    to do good work at the festival?
[09:19] Kuga
    Okay, this is about group responsibility.
[09:20] Kuga
    Everyone do another set of thirty.
[09:22] Kuga
    Okay? Go!
[09:25] Kuga
    Miyoko-chin!
[09:27] Kuga
    What's going on?
[09:28] Kuga
    Are you finally going to
    join the research society?
[09:31] Hojo
    Nope.
[09:33] Kuga
    I knew that!
[09:34] Kuga
    Well, you're welcome to join any time!
[09:36] Kuga
    And who's that with you—
    uh, was it Yukihira-chin?
[09:40] Kuga
    What are you here for?
[09:41] S
    Oh, I was just curious to
    see how you're preparing
[09:44] S
    for the school festival, Kuga-senpai.
[09:45] Kuga
    The school festival?
[09:47] S
    I've been thinking of putting
    out a booth, myself.
[09:50] S
    I'm just starting to think about
    what dish I should put out.
[09:53] S
    If I can beat you in sales,
[09:55] S
    you'll accept my challenge, right?
[09:57] Kuga
    Oh, I see.
[09:58] Kuga
    That's your angle, huh.
[10:00] Kuga
    Of course. I'll keep my word.
[10:02] S
    Oh, great!
[10:04] S
    Okay, can you tell me what dish
    you're going to serve, for starters?
[10:07] Hojo
    Hey, you're technically
    scoping out enemy operations.
[10:09] Hojo
    There are other ways to do it!
[10:12] Kuga
    You're interesting, Yukihira-chin.
[10:14] Kuga
    Well, I'm still thinking
    about which dish to choose,
[10:19] Kuga
    but our signature dish may be mapo tofu.
[10:22] S
    Mapo tofu?
[10:23] S
    We served a mapo tofu meal
    set at our place, too!
[10:27] S
    It was pretty popular—
[10:29] Kuga
    Huh.
[10:30] Kuga
    I think your place's a diner, right?
[10:34] Kuga
    Ten of you, line up.
[10:37] Kuga
    Cook our famous mapo tofu
    for Yukihira-chin, will you?
[10:41] Staff
    Roger!
[10:47] Kuga
    Yukihira-chin, have you heard
    this Chinese proverb before?
[10:52] S
    Huh?
[10:52] Kuga
    It's supposed to describe the
    people in Sichuan province,
SIGN    Sichuan
SIGN    Guizhou
SIGN    Hunan
[10:56] Kuga
    as well as the neighboring
    Hunan and Guizhou provinces.
[11:00] Kuga
    "Sichuan does not fear spiciness,
[11:02] Kuga
    Hunan does not fear eating spicy food,
[11:05] Kuga
    and Guizhou fears eating
    food that isn't spicy."
[11:09] S
    So basically, they really like spicy food?
[11:12] Kuga
    It goes to show how intently the region's
    been pursuing spicy cuisine—
[11:18] Kuga
    for centuries, at that.
[11:21] Kuga
    And my cooking has further
    elevated that cuisine.
[11:28] Kuga
    Here's Kuga Terunori's
    Signature Sichuan Mapo Tofu!
[11:32] Kuga
    Dig in while it's hot!
[11:34] S
    He got ten servings out
    at the exact same time!
[11:38] S
    That's amazing precision.
[11:45] S
    What the hell is this?!
[11:47] S
    Hot!
[11:48] S
    Delicious!
[11:49] S
    Hot!
[11:50] S
    Delicious!
[11:51] S
    Hot!
[11:52] S
    Delicious!
[11:53] S
    It's so spicy that my
    tongue's about to burn off,
[11:55] S
    yet there's wave after
    wave of delicious flavor!
[11:59] S
    It's a completely different
    beast from Yukihira's mapo tofu!
[12:04] S
    Not to mention...
[12:09] S
    They all taste exactly the same!
[12:13] S
    How well-trained are these guys?
[12:15] Kuga
    That's what you call
    authentic spiciness, Yukihira-chin.
[12:19] Kuga
    This combination of extreme
    spiciness and flavor
[12:23] Kuga
    isn't something a diner's
    dish can beat, is it?
[12:26] Kuga
    And my team's been trained to
    reproduce this taste to perfection!
[12:32] Kuga
    Trained by me.
[12:34] Kuga
    After all, the Moon Festival
[12:36] Kuga
    is a monster of an event that brings
    in 500,000 visitors a year.
[12:40] Kuga
    If you can't bust out a
    thousand servings a day,
[12:42] Kuga
    you're not going to land
    anywhere near the top earners.
[12:44] S
    A thousand servings!
[12:46] Kuga
    So how are things on your end, Yukihira-chin?
[12:49] Kuga
    I think you only have a staff of one,
[12:51] Kuga
    and you don't know what you're going to sell.
[12:54] Kuga
    So, Yukihira-chin, what were you
    planning to beat me with?
[12:59] Kuga
    Do you feel like sharing that with me?
[13:09] S
    What I'll win with?
[13:11] S
    Of course it'll be my cooking.
[13:21] Hojo
    You get how amazing Kuga-san
    is now, don't you?
[13:24] Hojo
    The Chinese Cuisine Research Society
    used to be, as the name suggests,
[13:27] Hojo
    a club that studied general Chinese cuisine.
[13:31] Hojo
    But he used that aggressive, spicy cooking
    of his as a weapon to dominate the club
[13:35] Hojo
    and make it narrow its
    focus to Sichuan cuisine.
[13:38] S
    I see.
[13:39] S
    So...
[13:41] S
    I'm seriously wondering what to do.
[13:43] Hojo
    What? But you looked so confident earlier!
[13:47] S
    Oh, Hojo, thanks for taking
    me to the research society.
[13:51] S
    Later!
[13:52] Hojo
    Hey!
[13:53] Hojo
    What's your game plan?
[13:55] S
    My game plan? I'm about to
    go home and come up with one.
[13:58] Hojo
    Then there's something else you should know.
[14:01] Hojo
    There's another major factor that
    puts you way behind Kuga-san.
[14:07] Hojo
    You're unknown outside of the academy.
[14:09] Hojo
    You don't have his reputation.
[14:13] S
    Reputation...
[14:19] S
    Let's see...

    He's as reckless as usual.
[15:58] S
    So I'm about to fill out
    the application form,
SIGN    School Festival Booth Application

    but what do they mean by "booth location"?
[16:03] [SONG] Sign 1604

SIGN    Booth No.
[16:05] I
    Oh, that.
[16:07] I
    The festival takes place on school grounds,
[16:11] I
    and the site's divided
    up into three main areas.
[16:14] Yuki
    Yeah, that's pretty important.
[16:17] Yuki
    You have to make sure you pick a spot
    that aligns with your booth's concept.
[16:19] S
    Oh, does it make such a big difference?
[16:22] Ryoko
    Yeah, they all come have
    their own characteristics.
[16:25] I
    First, the most popular spot, the Main Avenue!
[16:28] Ryoko
    Temporary tents will line the main
    street from the front entrance.
[16:33] Yuki
    Each dish will cost about 500 to 1,000 yen.
[16:35] M
    Because the food isn't expensive,
    there'll be a lot of foot traffic.
[16:39] I
    Next up is the Central Area where most
    of the kitchen facilities used by
[16:42] I
    classes are concentrated.
[16:43] Ryoko
    That's where booths serving dishes
[16:45] Ryoko
    that require specialized
    preparation or equipment will be.
[16:49] M
    People who want something more
    professionally prepared go there.
[16:52] Yuki
    In turn, the prices tend to be a bit higher—
[16:55] Yuki
    I'd say between 1,000 and 5,000 yen per dish.
[16:58] I
    Finally, there's the Yamanote Area
    where many of the Elite Ten locate
[17:02] I
    their booths every year!
[17:03] Ryoko
    It basically feels like a bunch of
    high-end restaurants got tucked away.
[17:07] Yuki
    At the very least, you'll be
    paying 5,000 yen per dish.
[17:09] Yuki
    The sky's the limit, basically.
[17:11] Yuki
    Not that I've ever been there.
[17:13] M
    It's tough to attract customers there
    unless you're well-known.
[17:17] I
    By the way, Kuga-kun's planning to
    set up shop in the Central Area.
[17:21] S
    Oh, really?
[17:23] I
    The Central Area lets you choose
    what size you want your booth to be.

[17:33] Y
    Well, not that anybody from the Elite Ten
    will have any trouble getting customers,
[17:36] Y
    no matter where he sets up shop.
[17:38] I
    Yeah.
[17:39] I
    In the end, his reputation
    is a powerful weapon.
[17:43] Ryoko
    Every year, all the organizations get
    wild-eyed trying to secure the best location.
[17:48] Ryoko
    If you choose the wrong spot...
[17:51] S
    It'd mean I couldn't possibly
    compete with Kuga-senpai, huh.
SIGN    Several Days Later
[18:03] E
    Yukihira-kun!
[18:06] E
    Today's the booth application
    deadline for the Moon Festival.
[18:10] E
    Are you still serious about
    challenging Kuga-senpai?
[18:13] E
    Did you devise a good strategy?
[18:18] E
    From the look on your face, it doesn't
    look like you have anything to go on.
[18:23] E
    Hey!
[18:23] E
    Say something!
[18:24] E
    I'm not trying to talk to myself here!
[18:26] S
    Secure the best spot possible in the
    high-traffic Main Avenue area...
[18:32] S
    It's obvious that I can't possibly
    compete against Kuga-senpai's popularity
[18:36] S
    unless I do that,
[18:38] S
    but is that the only angle I have?
[18:41] S
    Oh, Nakiri.
[18:43] S
    I didn't notice you there.
[18:44] E
    How rude!
[18:45] S
    I guess we sit next to
    each other in this class.
[18:47] S
    Let's get along, yeah?
[18:48] E
    Sit somewhere else!
[18:49] S
    I guess we randomly end up sitting
    next to each other sometimes,
[18:54] S
    like during the semi-finals
    in the Autumn Elections.
[18:56] E
    That was basically you
    just barging in uninvited!
[18:59] S
    Oh, and on the way back from camp in the car.
[19:01] E
    That was also you barging in uninvited!
[19:05] S
    Oh, and during that round, too...
[19:09] S
    I see.
[19:11] S
    I guess so.
[19:13] S
    I think that's the only way.
