    Ugh, I'm so tired.
[00:09] Alice
    Give me a piggyback ride, Miss Secretary.
[00:11] Hisa
    What are you talking about?
    Don't be ridiculous.
[00:13] Alice
    Then let's take a ten-minute break.
[00:15] Hisa
    There's absolutely no time
    for that. We must hurry!
[00:18] Alice
    I wonder if there's a café over here.
[00:20] Hisa
    Stop scurrying around!
[00:21] Alice
    Maybe it's over here!
[00:23] Hisa
    Stop wandering about!
[00:25] Hisa
    I should've brought Kurokiba Ryo with me.
[00:25] Alice
    Ooh, I found a hot dog shop
    and a bubble tea shop!
[00:27] Hisa
    Save me, Kurokiba!
[00:32] Kuro
    Are you sure this is the place, Hayama?
[00:35] Haya
    According to Eizan-senpai's intel, yeah.
[00:37] Kuro
    The BLUE should just about
    be getting to that point...
[00:40] Haya
    Yeah. Yukihira and the leader of
    Noir are about to go head-to-head.

[02:17] Soma
    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.
[03:02] Soma
    And it's when there's a chance of failure
    that you'll find a true opportunity.
[03:07] Soma
    If I don't do something
    no one else would've tried,
[03:10] Soma
    I'm not gonna be able to make this dish.

[03:13] Sarge
    The ingredients and preparation methods
[03:15] Sarge
    used in the Five Grand Cuisines
    are vast and diverse.
[03:17] Sarge
    There's no way to combine
    completed dishes afterward.
[03:20] Don
    It's enough work just to make one of
    those dishes within the allotted time.
[03:26] Niku
    Yukihira... Are you sure you can pull this off?
[03:29] Taku
    It's truly like trying to grasp at clouds.
[03:33] Taku
    But if he succeeds,
[03:34] Taku
    he might really be able to make a dish
    no one on this planet has ever seen before.
[03:39] Gramps
    There you are, Erina.
[03:43] Erina
    Grandfather...
[03:44] Gramps
    It's true that the Crossed Knives are powerful.
[03:47] Gramps
    But I have faith in the power
    of everyone's training.
[04:04] Glsses
    That's not just French...
[04:06] Ryoko
    He's preparing an Italian stock, too.
[04:08] Ibu
    And he's got various Chinese seasonings.
[04:11] Megu
    He's marinating the lamb
     used in Turkish cuisine.
[04:15] Isshi
    The foundation of Indian cuisine...
     starter spices.
[04:18] Taku
    The world's Five Grand Cuisines...
[04:20] Taku
    He's really preparing a dish for each one.
[04:23] Taku
    He's brazenly charging forward.
[04:25] Soma
    Now I've got my work cut out for me.
[04:27] Soma
    If I make even a single mistake
    while prepping these dishes,
[04:31] Soma
    everything will be ruined.
[04:33] Soma
    This is just like that one time.
[04:36] (Flashback) Shino
    Come on! What are you doing, Yukihira?!
[04:38] (Flashback) Shino
    Keep moving! Don't stop!
[04:41] (Flashback) Shino
    Anyone who slows down our prep
    is going to be kicked out!
[04:44] Soma
    Yeah, yeah... I hear you loud
    and clear, Master Shinomiya.
[04:48] Soma
    All right, let's do this.
[04:50] Soma
    Yukihira Soma, this is for the you
    a few seconds in the future...
[04:55] Soma
    At this moment, do the absolute
    best you've ever done!
[05:01] Alice
    Grandfather!
[05:03] Alice
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[05:06] Erina
    Alice! Hisako!
[05:07] Alice
    Oh, you're here, too, Erina?
    What a coincidence.
[05:11] Hisa
    I'm so terribly sorry for
    leaving your side, Erina-sama!
[05:14] Erina
    Uh, that's fine, but... What brings you here?
[05:17] Alice
    We've been asked a favor.
[05:20] Alice
    Right, Grandfather?
[05:22] Gramps
    So, how did it go?
[05:23] Alice
    Of course I brought him.
[05:26] Alice
    Come on! What are you waiting for, Uncle?
[05:30] Erina
    Father...
[05:32] Jo
    Ah, so you came, Nakamura.
[05:35] Dad
    Why did you summon me here?
[05:37] Gramps
    It's your responsibility to
    see how this BLUE plays out.
[05:42] Gramps
    Because you were trying to save them.
[05:46] Gramps
    Not just Joichiro, who was almost
    swallowed up by the storm,
[05:50] Gramps
    but also your wife, Mana,
[05:53] Gramps
    and Erina.
[05:56] Dad
    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
    What about Yukihira? What's he doing?
[06:31] Shun
    Hurry, Yukihira!
[06:33] Glasses
    Please... Make it in time!
[06:37] Girl
    Time's up!
[06:40] Soma
    All right!
[06:44] All
    Yay!
[06:49] Asahi
    Not bad. You actually managed to slide in.
[06:52] Asahi
    But it all comes down to taste.
[06:54] Asahi
    Right?
[06:55] Ran
    We will now begin the tasting!
[06:57] Ran
    The three Bookmen who will be judging
    this round are entering the arena.
[07:01] Guys
    They're...

    from the Team Shokugeki!
SIGN    Décora
SIGN    Charme
[07:08] Courage
    Ooh, he's hot.
[07:11] Decora
    The way he looks and presents
    himself is totally our type.
[07:16] Asahi
    Well, thanks!
[07:17] Asahi
    Hearing that from beautiful ladies
    like you boosts my confidence.
[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.
[09:15] Glasses
    That's a basty.

[09:17] Glasses
    It's a local dish from Nagasaki Prefecture,
     considered part of Shippoku cuisine.
[09:22] Ryoko
    Shippoku?
[09:23] Glasses
    Japan used to close off its shores,
[09:25] Glasses
    and the only part that dealt with
    foreigners was Dejima in Nagasaki.
[09:29] Glasses
    That's where food combining the essences
[09:31] Glasses
    of Japanese, European, and
    Chinese cuisines was born.
[09:34] Glasses
    That's what Shippoku cuisine is.
SIGN    Shippoku Cuisine
[09:36] Glasses
    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
[10:50] Courage
    Pie crust, shark fin, Indian spices,
     ravioli, and dondurma.
[10:55] Courage
    He used the techniques of many
    chefs and created a brand new flavor!
[11:01] Dec
    All of these things would usually clash,
[11:04] Dec
    but they're in perfect harmony here.
[11:06] Dec
    This is a dish whose components
    should never work so well together!
[11:17] Anne
    Here you are, Bookmaster.
[11:21] Courage
    I just can't stop!
[11:22] Courage
    Saiba Asahi is truly the protagonist
    of this tale called "Cuisine"!
[11:28] Dec
    He's the brave hero who leads his
    comrades with different abilities.

    Gifting?!

    I thought only the Nakiris could
    do the Gifting! So why...
[12:05] Guy
    It's been so long since I've seen this marvel.
[12:09] Guy
    This might be the greatest I've ever seen.
[12:11] Lady
    The waves of the Gifting
    must be leaking out...
[12:14] Lady
    Which would mean that Mana-sama
    has considered this dish delicious.
[12:18] Ran
    Waves of Gifting?
[12:20] Asahi
    How do you like that, Yukihira?
[12:21] Asahi
    This is what the top of the BLUE looks like.
[12:24] Asahi
    And I'm the one who's going to take

    the first seat in the next

    Hey, Princess Erina!
[12:37] Asahi
    Did you see how powerful my dish was?
[12:41] Asahi
    Looks like your mother approves, too!
[12:45] Ran
    I'm not sure what's going on, but we
    should continue with the tasting.
[12:50] Dec
    I'm so satisfied, I can't even move.
[12:53] Courage
    I just wanna go home now.
[12:55] Ran
    Hey!
[12:56] Asahi
    Okay, Yukihira, it's your turn.
[13:00] Asahi
    Let's see your dish that
    combines the Five Grand Cuisines!
[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.
[13:43] Ran
    You're supposed to be judging,
    so at least have a bite!
[13:47] Courage
    I don't wanna!
[13:48] Ran
    Here!
[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...
[14:06] Dec
    This must be Chinese dongpo
    pork chopped into fine pieces!
SIGN    Sparkling Water
[14:11] Soma
    To make sure I could stew it in time,
[14:13] Soma
    I tenderized the meat with sparkling water.

SIGN    Poriyal
[14:25] Courage
    Diced green beans and shredded coconut
[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
    no one's ever seen before!
[16:41] Isa
    Yukihira-kun will be able to get there.

    He always challenges the impossible...

    Are you certain?
[17:55] Mana
    Well, I did consume his opponent's dish.
[17:58] Ran
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    please wait a few moments.
[18:01] Mana
    Bring me a bucket!

[18:03] Soma
    A bucket?
[18:04] Mana
    I must be prepared just in case my
    body does not tolerate this dish well.
[18:10] Anne
    I'm certain that Mr. Yukihira's
    dish is delicious,
[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!

[20:34] (Flashback) Guy
    It's definitely not a winner!
[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...

    Who's the victor?
