Hey, Soma-kun.

Hey, Soma-kun!
**[00:29] S**
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.*

**[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**
That's it, Tadokoro!

They announce booth sales every day, huh.
**[05:57] S**
This is sounding more and more like it.
**[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**
but I really killed it at the
neighborhood festival every summer!

Why are these pan-friend noodles so tasty?!
**[06:51] S**
I guess that means I'll be
competing with your booth, too!
**[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...

Hey, Yukihira.

Did you actually say you're going to go up
against the Eighth Seat in the Elite Ten?
**[15:54] Ryoko**
He did.
**[15:55] Ryoko**
He's as reckless as usual.
**[15:58] S**
So I'm about to fill out

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.

of the large Chinese Cuisine RS.
**[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.

Yukihira-kun!

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.

We're not gonna give it up!

Why don't you step in front

I don't care.

This spot is the best place for me to

Take your pointless don dishes elsewhere.

"Pointless"?
**[19:41] Mito**
Oh, yeah?

Let's settle that with a Shokugeki, then.

**[20:40] Staff**
Since the Chinese Cuisine RS
is such a big name,

no one wants to set up their booth nearby.
**[20:45] S**
Oh, I see!

Chinese.

Do you remember when we had to make

200 servings of breakfast
at the camp from hell?
**[20:59] S**
That time, I managed to pass
by the skin of my teeth.
**[21:03] S**
A lot of that was thanks to
**[21:05] S**
my being able to get customers
lined up for you to peel off.
**[21:10] S**
Hey, now that I think about it,
**[21:11] S**
I was able to survive camp
thanks to you, in a way.

About the booths. Just in case,
**[21:49] E**
you know you'll get expelled
if your booth loses money, right?
**[21:55] S**
What?
**[21:55] S**
Expelled?!
**[23:27] Tsukasa**
Yukihira Soma?
**[23:29] Rindo**
Yeah, that's the one.
**[23:30] Rindo**
He made a big speech about how
he's going to challenge Kuga
**[23:32] Rindo**
at the Moon Festival.
**[23:34] Tsukasa**
Hmm.
**[23:36] Rindo**
What, Tsukasa?
**[23:37] Rindo**
At least pretend you're interested.
**[23:40] Tsukasa**
That's the least of my concerns right now.
**[23:43] Tsukasa**
Will my booth's interior
be finished on schedule?
**[23:46] Tsukasa**
Will it be to specifications?
**[23:47] Tsukasa**
Will anything break?
