[00:51] (Flashback) GirlAlice     So I have to send a lot. [00:55] (Flashback) GirlAlice     Even though it's such a bother. [00:58] (Flashback) BoyRyo     Huh, I see. [01:02] BoyRyo     She's really enjoying it. [01:04] (Flashback) GirlAlice     Bye, Erina. [01:06] (Flashback) GirlE     Letters. [01:08] (Flashback) GirlE     You'd better send me letters. [01:14] (Flashback) GirlA     What? [01:15] (Flashback) GirlA     There are no letters from     Erina today, either? [01:18] (Flashback) GirlA     I see. [01:20] (Flashback) GirlA     It's fine, Mother. [01:21] (Flashback) GirlA     I'll just try to write another one. [01:24] (Flashback) GirlA     Ugh, Erina.

SIGN    Food Wars SIGN    The Third Plate SIGN    Der Weiße Ritter der Tafel [03:38] E     Alice, the chief of Cutting Edge Cuisine RS? [03:41] E     Since when? [03:44] I     See, it's in the official records     of a Shokugeki in the past. [03:48] I     That's why she was targeted     by the survivor hunt. [03:51] E     I wonder if Alice is going to be okay. [03:54] I     You're worried, aren't you? [03:55] E     I-I'm not worried! [03:58] E     But Alice can be reckless sometimes, so... [04:01] I     Well, it's true that she's the one who     took you away from your family home. [04:07] I     Alice-kun seems to be very     concerned about you, too. [04:10] I     What a beautiful friendship! [04:12] I     That's youth in a nutshell. [04:13] E     I wonder about that. [04:15] I     What? [04:16] E     I doubt she feels any friendship toward me. [04:21] E     I've done many horrible things to Alice. [04:26] Azami     Alice, your Cutting Edge Cuisine RS [04:30] Azami     was the only one to win a Shokugeki     in today's survivor hunt. [04:32] Azami     The other 32 organizations all suffered     defeat and will be disbanded. [04:37] Alice     Regardless of other outcomes, [04:39] Alice     Ryo-kun won against Central. [04:41] Alice     Can you still insist that your way of     thinking is absolute and correct, Uncle? [04:46] Azami     How disappointing, Alice. [04:48] Azami     I thought you would support my     utopia of true gourmet dining. [04:54] Azami     The Nakiri family has a responsibility     to advance the world of gourmet dining. [04:58] Azami     That's what this great revolution is for. [05:00] E     Father?! [05:02] E     Alice... [05:03] Alice     I can't agree with your methods, Uncle. [05:06] Alice     Nor do I wish to. [05:07] Alice     That's all. [05:09] Azami     What a stubborn child you are. [05:12] Azami     You even took my beloved daughter     out of the house without permission. [05:15] Azami     Consider whether you have the right      to speak to me that way. [05:17] Alice     I don't care! [05:20] Alice     I am angry. [05:22] Alice     I will never forget what     you have done, Uncle. [05:26] Alice     I don't like you, Uncle Azami! [05:33] Alice     I will not let you do what you want     with Totsuki Academy! With Erina! [05:40] Azami     I see. [05:41] Azami     Well, do your best. [05:43] Azami     For today, I'll just congratulate     you on your one victory. [05:54] Alice     Erina... [05:55] Alice     You were listening to us? [06:03] Alice     If only Uncle Azami had not interfered, [06:06] Alice     we would've been such, such,      such better friends, Erina. [06:11] Alice     How rude of him. [06:15] Alice     Besides, you've been looking     too gloomy lately! [06:19] Alice     Why don't you stand up straight and proud?! [06:21] Alice     You've been holed up in your room in     Polar Star Dormitory, haven't you?! [06:24] E     H-How dare you! [06:26] E     You're the one who made     me run away from home! [06:29] Alice     That's because I couldn't stand to     see you all terrified of Uncle Azami! [06:33] Alice     You have to show him! [06:36] Alice     You have to show him that     you're your own person! [06:38] Alice     That you won't just be someone's puppet! [06:41] Alice     You can't stay in your shell forever! [06:43] Alice     Got it? [06:44] E     Alice... [06:45] Alice     Besides, I intend to hand you     a crushing defeat some day! [06:50] Alice     I can't have you be a shrinking violet [06:53] Alice     when I need you to be my worthy foil. [06:56] E     What did you say?! [06:59] Alice     What? [07:00] E     Everything you make tastes disgusting, anyway! [07:01] Alice     You said "disgusting"! [07:03] E     I said "disgusting" because it is disgusting! [07:05] S     They're actually really close, huh. [07:07] Ryo     Don't say that to them. [07:09] Ryo     It'll only cause trouble. SIGN    Chanko RS [07:14] Azami     Organizations that suffered defeat     will be immediately disbanded [07:16] Azami     and forbidden from any form of activity. [07:20] Azami     Should there be any act of rebellion, [07:22] Azami     retribution will be swift. [07:25] Azami     Good day. SIGN    Kitchen No. 26 [07:31] S     The class format has changed a lot     since Central was founded, too. [07:36] M     Yeah. [07:37] M     There are no more classes where     you come up with your own dishes. [07:40] M     They're all about following recipes to a T. [07:43] S     They really don't plan on letting     us cook what we want. [07:46] S     Even Master Shinomiya gave me     more leeway in the kitchen. [07:52] Lucy     What's wrong, Chef? [07:54] Shino     I suddenly felt really      irritated for some reason. SIGN    79th Generation Totsuki Elite Ten     First Seat     Shinomiya Kojiro [07:59] Glasses     The instructor who had been     in charge of this class [08:01] Glasses     was dismissed due to his claims that     he could not follow Central's directives. [08:06] Stu     What?! [08:07] S     Dismissed, huh. [08:09] S     They're really ruthless. [08:10] Glasses     Due to that, a substitute instructor     will undertake the demonstration today. [08:15] Glasses     The lesson will be a basis for the     true gourmet dining Central espouses. [08:19] Glasses     Pay full attention, and learn the material. [08:21] Glasses     The instructor will be coming in now. [08:26] Stu     The First Seat... [08:30] Stu     Tsukasa Eishi! [08:31] M     What?! [08:33] Tsukasa     Hello. [08:34] Tsukasa     I'm the Elite Ten's First Seat,      Tsukasa Eishi. [08:37] Tsukasa     I don't know if you all know me. [08:40] Stu     We know! [08:42] Tsukasa     I'll be preparing a few dishes today. [08:45] Tsukasa     I'd like you all to model my methods     when you make these dishes. [08:49] Stu     Seriously?! [08:50] Stu     The First Seat will be showing us how?! [08:52] Stu     That's too scary! [08:53] S     Remember the quality of what     he served at the Moon Festival? [08:56] M     They were amazing, weren't they? [08:57] M     Everything we tasted was wonderful. [09:00] Tsukasa     Oh, and I'm supposed to     have a student volunteer [09:04] Tsukasa     to be my assistant during this class. [09:07] Tsukasa     They'll be providing support     while I prepare the dishes. [09:09] Tsukasa     Does anyone want to step up? [09:12] Stu     What?! [09:14] Stu     You go. [09:14] Stu     No way. I'll just get depressed. [09:17] Tsukasa     Huh? [09:18] Tsukasa     Um... [09:20] Tsukasa     Does no one want to cook with me? [09:25] Tsukasa     Huh? [09:25] M     Soma-kun?! [09:26] Stu     What?! [09:28] Tsukasa     Yukihira Soma... [09:30] Tsukasa     You attend this class, I see. [09:32] S     I'll be your assistant. [09:34] S     That's fine, right? [09:36] Tsukasa     I'll ask you for your help, then. [09:41] Tsukasa     I'll be demonstrating five French     amuse bouche dishes today. [09:44] Tsukasa     I'll be preparing all of     them at the same time. [09:46] Tsukasa     Yukihira, you'll be     preparing the ingredients. [09:49] S     Okay. [09:50] Tsukasa     Well, let us begin. [09:52] Tsukasa     Yukihira, first, use a food processor     to make a quenelle from semi-dried figs. [09:57] Tsukasa     Mince the shallots and julienne the carrots. [10:00] Tsukasa     Add ground cardamom and milk to egg     yolks and sugar to make crème anglaise, [10:03] Tsukasa     then pour it over the sorbet once it cools. [10:06] S     Got it! [10:08] Stu     So much information at once! [10:09] Stu     My head would explode! [10:14] M     Wow, Soma-kun! [10:17] Tsukasa     Okay, next— [10:18] S     Fry young sweetfish coated     with whole wheat flour, right? [10:21] Tsukasa     Yeah, thanks! [10:25] S     Senpai, I'm done making the zucchini dish! [10:28] S     The whipped cream will be whipped     into soft peaks in ten seconds, too. [10:32] Tsukasa     Good. [10:32] S     Almond cuit! [10:34] Tsukasa     Good. [10:36] S     I had all the French culinary     techniques pounded into me when [10:40] S     I did my Stagiaire with Master Shinomiya. [10:43] (Flashback) Shino     Don't lose focus, Yukihira. [10:45] (Flashback) S     Got it! [10:47] S     Plating, please. [10:49] Tsukasa     Got it! [10:50] Stu     Wow. [10:51] Stu     So fast. [10:52] Stu     Unbelievable. [10:53] M     A true collaboration between gifted equals [10:56] M     that denies entry to anyone unworthy! [10:58] Tsukasa     Yukihira! [10:59] Tsukasa     Grill asparagus! [11:00] S     Got it! [11:03] Stu     So fast. [11:05] Tsukasa     Okay, let's have you all make the same dishes [11:08] Tsukasa     within the same amount of time. [11:10] Stu     As if! SIGN    Kitchen No. 2 [11:14] Girls     She's so beautiful. [11:16] Girls     I hadn't seen her attend classes in a while. [11:19] Girls     I'm glad to see Erina-sama doing so well. [11:25] E     I'm glad I summoned the     courage to come to class. [11:28] E     It doesn't seem like Father will     force me to come back, either. [11:31] Hisako     Well done, Erina-sama! [11:35] Hisako     It was a matter of course that     you were given an A. [11:38] E     It was easy. [11:41] Hiroi     How exceptional, as usual, Nakiri-san. [11:44] E     Instructors. [11:46] Hiroi     Your father must be proud of you. [11:49] Hiroi     We look forward to your     future accomplishments [11:52] Hiroi     for Central and Totsuki Academy's sake. [11:55] E     Excuse me. [11:59] M     Good job, Soma-kun! [12:01] S     You too, Tadokoro! [12:03] M     That was amazing. [12:04] M     You handled all that work with ease. [12:07] S     Well, I wouldn't call it "with ease." [12:10] S     Central's not too shabby, either. [12:12] S     Hm? [12:13] S     Now that I'm actually thinking about it, [12:15] S     didn't I just help Central? [12:17] S     The hell am I doing? [12:22] M     Regional Cooking RS [12:23] M     will be in the next round      of survivor hunt Shokugekis! [12:26] S     Really? [12:26] M     I'm going to go call the chief! [12:28] S     Okay! [12:30] S     Huh? [12:31] S     Whoa! [12:32] S     You're still here, Tsukasa-senpai?! [12:34] Tsukasa     Oh, I'd been wound up so tight [12:36] Tsukasa     that once the class was over, [12:38] Tsukasa     I lost all my tension. [12:39] Tsukasa     That was really scary, [12:41] Tsukasa     being asked to cook in     front of so many students. [12:45] Tsukasa     To think, I might've forgotten to     tell them something important. [12:50] Tsukasa     I wonder if Rindo's going     to get mad at me again [12:52] Tsukasa     for sounding so unsure of myself. [12:55] S     He sure is a perfectionist. [12:58] Tsukasa     Anyway, you were impressive, Yukihira. [13:01] Tsukasa     You're more skilled than I'd thought. [13:04] S     Oh, I had fun. [13:06] S     I learned a lot, too. [13:07] Tsukasa     You're a capable man. [13:10] Tsukasa     Would you be interested in     becoming my right-hand man? [13:13] Tsukasa     Will you join Central? [13:17] S     What? SIGN    Women's Changing Room [13:21] Hisako     Erina-sama, I hear the next survivor hunt     has been scheduled for three days from now. SIGN    Women's Changing Room [13:27] E     I see. [13:28] Hisako     Many more organizations will     be disbanded, it seems. [13:32] E     But like Alice, there may yet be another     organization who seizes a victory. [13:38] E     Father's—Nakiri Azami's Central     isn't absolute, after all. [13:45] E     What? [13:45] E     Why are you staring like that? [13:46] Hisako     Oh, well... [13:48] Hisako     You seem different than usual, that's all. [13:52] Hisako     It's as though you've had a     change of heart in some way. [13:56] E     That's... [13:59] E     Until now, I've always done what     Father said without question. [14:05] E     I didn't even think of doing anything else. [14:08] E     I just took it for granted     that I was supposed to obey. [14:12] E     But Yukihira-kun and other     Polar Star Dormitory members [14:15] E     refused to change themselves. [14:17] E     They would not bow down before Father. [14:19] E     And Alice told Father how     angry she was to his face. [14:25] E     When I saw her like that, I... [14:27] (Flashback) Alice     You have to show him! [14:30] (Flashback) Alice     You have to show him that     you're your own person! [14:32] E     I started thinking as well about     what it is that I want to do... [14:39] Hisako     Erina-sama... [14:40] E     I-It's not because I've been influenced     by Alice and Yukihira-kun, understand? [14:45] E     I just want to make my own decision— [14:47] Hisako     Yukihira? [14:48] E     S-So Yukihira-kun has     nothing to do with this— [14:54] E     Tsukasa-san and Yukihira-kun?! [14:57] E     Why are they talking to each other? [14:59] Hisako     What is the matter, Erina-sama? [15:01] Hisako     Why are we hiding? [15:02] E     Um, I am not sure why. [15:05] S     Are you telling me to join Central? [15:08] Tsukasa     Yeah. [15:09] S     That's a bad joke, Tsukasa-senpai. [15:12] S     Why would I do that? [15:13] Tsukasa     I see. [15:14] Tsukasa     I guess you wouldn't. [15:16] S     Hey, that shouldn't make you feel so bad! [15:19] S     Well, I mean it's honestly nice     that you've recognized my skills. [15:23] S     But I don't feel like presenting     Yukihira Diner's cooking at Central, so... [15:27] Tsukasa     Oh, that wouldn't be necessary. [15:29] S     Huh? [15:29] Tsukasa     Yukihira Diner's cooking isn't necessary. [15:32] Tsukasa     What I wanted was your     supportive capabilities. [15:36] Tsukasa     With you at my side, [15:38] Tsukasa     I feel I could further refine my cooking. [15:42] Tsukasa     Um, so it'd be nice if you     could think it over... [15:47] Tsukasa     for my cooking's sake. [15:50] S     You're pretty casual about saying     some incredibly selfish things. [15:54] S     Man, chefs are all such selfish assholes. [16:00] M     Nakiri-san, Arato-san... [16:02] M     What are you doing? [16:03] Hisako     Hurry, hide! [16:04] M     Huh? [16:04] Tsukasa     There will be advantages     for you too, Yukihira. [16:07] Tsukasa     If you join Central and team up with me, [16:10] Tsukasa     you'll be able to cook at a level far     above what you currently have access to. [16:13] S     But that's just as your assistant, right? [16:17] S     What's the point if I can't     serve my own cooking? [16:20] Tsukasa     Oh, I guess that's true. [16:23] S     You really think about nothing     but your own cooking, don't you? [16:26] S     Besides, you've never seen     any of my dishes, have you? [16:31] S     It could be that I'm better     at cooking than you! [16:35] Tsukasa     I see. [16:36] Tsukasa     Then let's test it out... [16:40] Tsukasa     And see whose skills are superior. [16:43] Tsukasa     If I'm acceptable, [16:44] Tsukasa     I can face you here and now. [16:47] Tsukasa     And I'll wager the Elite Ten's First Seat. SIGN    The First Seat SIGN    First [16:55] S     Are you serious? [16:56] Tsukasa     Very serious. [16:57] Tsukasa     But if I win, you'll have to     join Central and work for me. [17:04] Tsukasa     Will you accept this challenge,      Yukihira Soma? [17:14] S     Great. [17:16] S     Let's do it! [17:19] S     I'll face the first seat! [17:28] Tsukasa     It's decided, then. [17:30] Tsukasa     About the topic, how about venison? [17:34] Tsukasa     We were supposed to use the     venison during class earlier, [17:37] Tsukasa     so there are many different     cuts still available. [17:39] S     I see. [17:40] S     That's fine by me. [17:41] Tsukasa     As for the cooking genre... [17:44] S     Let's go with French cuisine! [17:45] Tsukasa     I see. [17:47] Tsukasa     Sure. [17:48] Tsukasa     Let's begin, then. [17:49] Tsukasa     The match has begun. [17:52] S     The French cuisine I had at Tsukasa-senpai's     booth during the Moon Festival [17:56] S     was a shocking revelation. [17:58] S     But I learned a lot at Master     Shinomiya's restaurant, too! [18:03] S     I'll face him with my own French cuisine! [18:05] M     H-H-H-How's this even happening?! [18:08] Hisako     Well, we don't know, either. [18:10] E     But now that they've      begun their cooking match, [18:13] E     we can only observe what will happen— [18:14] E     how Yukihira-kun will     challenge the Tsukasa Eishi. [18:17] Hisako     Yes, Erina-sama. [18:19] M     But if he loses... [18:21] S     Okay, so venison. [18:24] S     What kind of dish should I make? [18:25] S     What kind of dish will let     me win against Tsukasa Eishi? [18:28] Tsukasa     Yukihira, I'll get started first. [18:31] S     Wow, that's huge! [18:33] S     That must be venison backstrap. [18:41] Hisako     After rubbing the meat with salt and pepper, [18:43] Hisako     he's using the salamander to     slowly and gently cook it. [18:46] M     He's lined the skillet with diced     venison fat and tendon, so that [18:50] M     the meat will not come in direct     contact with the skillet's surface. [18:53] S     And he's periodically removing the meat [18:55] S     and basting it with the melted fat [18:58] S     to prevent the meat's     surface from drying out. [19:00] S     His care for his ingredients is unbelievable. [19:03] S     He is so tender toward them. [19:05] S     It's almost as if he's     silently speaking to them. [19:08] E     That is why he is the First Seat. [19:11] E     Right now, he is communing with the     ingredients in the truest sense of the word. [19:15] Tsukasa     Good. Come this way. [19:19] Tsukasa     Come closer. [19:21] Tsukasa     That's right. Come. [19:23] Tsukasa     Now... [19:25] Tsukasa     Come reside in my dish. [19:34] M     Amazing. [19:35] M     The venison's juices seem to be quietly     rippling within the meat. [19:39] Hisako     We're witnessing the ingredient reach     its full potential as we speak. [19:47] M     I haven't even tasted it, but... [19:49] Hisako     Just by smell and sight... [19:52] MHisako     I can't help but consume... [19:53] MHisako     ...the ingredients' energy! [20:02] E     His sensitivity and technique far     surpass the acts of mere mortals. [20:07] E     Der Weiße Ritter der Tafel, Tsukasa Eishi, [20:10] E     has set foot in the divine realm     ruled by gods of gourmet dining. [20:16] Tsukasa     Yukihira, are you sure you     don't want to start cooking? [20:20] Tsukasa     As a member of Central, I cannot     allow myself to be defeated, [20:23] Tsukasa     so I will not be holding anything back. [20:25] S     Tsukasa-senpai, what does Central     want to accomplish, anyway? [20:29] Tsukasa     Huh? [20:30] Tsukasa     Why ask all of a sudden? [20:32] S     Is controlling the academy     their only true objective? [20:36] S     I mean, you're such an excellent chef. [20:40] S     I think you'd do just fine on     your own without joining Central. [20:44] Tsukasa     Th-That's giving me too     much credit, Yukihira. [20:47] Tsukasa     Hmm, but I guess Central's long-term goal... [20:52] Tsukasa     is to shut down all the restaurants in Japan. [20:58] S     Huh? [20:59] Tsukasa     Oh, I hope you don't misunderstand. [21:01] Tsukasa     Of course, we wouldn't shut down any     restaurant that is truly serving gourmet food. [21:06] Tsukasa     Here's what Director Azami said. [21:08] (Flashback) Azami     We must annihilate restaurants that serve mere      animal feed, unworthy of being called food. [21:13] (Flashback) Azami     It is an absolutely necessary step in order     to advance Japan's gourmet dining. [21:19] Tsukasa     To do so, nurturing superior chefs     who'll become our army is essential. [21:25] Tsukasa     The current purge at the academy     and the restructured classes [21:29] Tsukasa     are all preliminary steps before the subpar     restaurants are shut down nationwide. [21:32] S     Subpar restaurants? [21:34] Tsukasa     Right. [21:35] Tsukasa     We'll eradicate all the city     restaurants that cater to the masses [21:38] Tsukasa     and replace them with restaurants     that provide true gourmet dining. [21:42] Tsukasa     That is the future Central wants. [21:44] S     The city restaurants that     cater to the masses, huh. [21:47] S     So that means stores like     Mitamura-san's Western restaurant... SIGN    Western Restaurant     Mitamura [21:51] S     and my family business,      Yukihira Diner, are all unnecessary? [21:56] Tsukasa     Yeah, that's correct. [21:58] S     Even if that means there'd be people     who'd lose places they really care about? [22:03] Tsukasa     Yeah, it would. [22:05] Tsukasa     I think that's unavoidable. [22:15] S     I see. [22:17] S     I don't think I'm suited to     becoming your second-in-command. [22:26] S     I won't join Central. [22:30] S     I'll win this match!
