[00:06] Asahi     What she needs is a different power. [00:10] Asahi     Otherwise, you can't make     the dish that she desires! [00:14] Asahi     Didn't you hear the crowd out there? [00:15] Asahi     Everyone's certain that I'll win! [00:18] Asahi     If you think someone objects,     I'd love to meet them. [00:22] Asahi     You will not be the chef who becomes her savior. [00:26] Asahi     It's me. [00:28] Soma     Hey, yeah, so... [00:30] Soma     I'd like to object. [00:32] Soma     No one's gonna question you winning? [00:35] Soma     Uh, I have every intention of taking     the top, so I sure the hell will. [00:39] Asahi     Is that so? Princess Erina     seems to think differently. [00:43] Soma     Huh? [00:44] Asahi     Am I right, Princess Erina? [00:47] Megu     Nakiri-san, um... [00:49] Megu     Is it true? [00:50] Megu     Are you really going to marry Asahi-san?! [00:53] Asahi     Oh, hey, Tadokoro... [00:56] Asahi     I thought you'd be depressed because     you lost, but apparently, you're fine. SIGN    Food Wars SIGN    The Second Plate SIGN    The Third Plate SIGN    The Fourth Plate SIGN    The Fifth Plate SIGN    Surpassing Dad [02:39] Megu     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     Every other God Tongue in history has     despaired over food at one point or another SIGN    Disgusting SIGN    Disgusting SIGN    Disgusting SIGN    Disgusting SIGN    Disgusting SIGN    Disgusting SIGN    Disgusting SIGN    Disgusting [04:54] Asahi     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.

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! SIGN    To All Parents and Guardians SIGN    Notification of Parents' Day [11:10] (Flashback) Tama     Parents' day? [11:19] (Flashback) Soma     Whoa! This one sure is lively! [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!

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 SIGN    Yukihira Soma [14:36] Guy     There he is. It's Saiba Asahi. [14:38] Lady     If he wins this match, he's going to the finals! [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!

[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     I know you'll be able to     make an excellent dish. [19:57] Kumar     You defeated me, after all. [20:00] Shahi     To understand spices is to     understand all of nature. [20:06] Asahi     Elder Shahi! SIGN    Elder Shahi [20:07] Shahi     Never forget that. [20:10] Nadir     The most important thing when making     dondurma is a pliable heart. [20:14] Asahi     Nadir Doğubayazıt! SIGN    Nadir Doğubayazıt [20:16] Nadir     Is your heart still stretchy? [20:19] Asahi     That's right. I'm not alone. [20:23] Asahi     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, [22:09] Soma     Saiba Asahi! SIGN    Food Wars SIGN    The Fifth Plate SIGN    The Taste of Failure [23:35] Asahi     The Hero Asahi and a Bunch of Randos! [23:37] Mom     I just gained eleven experience points?!
