Saiba Joichiro...
[00:11] S
He's... my dad.
[00:21] E
Saiba-sama and Yukihira-kun...
father and son...
[00:28] Azami
Saiba-senpai...
[00:30] Azami
I will achieve a total
revolution of this world
[00:36] Azami
in order to save victims
like you, Saiba-senpai.
SIGN Food Wars
SIGN The Third Plate
SIGN Totsuki Train Arc
SIGN Totsuki
[02:16] Tsukasa
Are we really going ahead with this?
[02:17] Tsukasa
I've said it before... I'm not the
type to make public speeches...
[02:21] Rindo
Start talking, Tsukasa!
[02:25] Tsukasa
If only Isshiki or Nakiri were here...
[02:28] Tsukasa
And how much more time do
I have before we go live?
[02:30] Nene
The cameras are already rolling.
SIGN Talk!
[02:32] Tsukasa
What?!
[02:33] Tsukasa
Um, hello. I'm Tsukasa Eishi from Central.
SIGN Advancement Exam
SIGN Polar Star Dormitory
[02:36] Tsukasa
I'm here today to tell you all
[02:38] Tsukasa
about the major event awaiting high-school
[02:40] Tsukasa
first-years at the end
of the second semester—
[02:42] Tsukasa
the advancement exam.
[02:44] Tsukasa
Last year, more than half of
the first-years left the Academy
[02:48] Tsukasa
due to the excessively rigorous exam.
[02:50] Tsukasa
But from now on, that will change.
[02:52] Tsukasa
Director Azami has liberated
you from unnecessary weeding.
[02:57] Tsukasa
You can easily pass most of the exam
[03:01] Tsukasa
by demonstrating mastery of the
techniques we have taught you in class.
[03:04] Tsukasa
You are no longer bound by
the old, outdated system.
[03:09] Tsukasa
If you side with Central, you can
all become first-rate chefs!
[03:14] Tsukasa
But the exams will also clearly
demonstrate what happens to those of you
[03:20] Tsukasa
who do not fall in line with
Director Azami's vision.
[03:23] Tsukasa
Um, well, that's it.
[03:26] Tsukasa
Whew, I was so nervous.
SIGN Totsuki
[03:28] Tsukasa
Next time, you or Kinokuni
should do it, Rindo.
[03:31] Rindo
No way.
[03:32] Nene
I refuse.
[03:34] S
The advancement exam, huh.
[03:35] S
Having it at the end of second
semester sounds super early,
[03:38] S
but I guess we'll just have
to put our backs to it
[03:40] S
if we want to be second-years, huh?
[03:43] S
What, what?
[03:44] S
Why are y'all so glum?
[03:46] Yuki
Didn't you notice anything
about what they said?!
[03:48] Ryoko
Central basically declared us
rebels as targets in the exam.
[03:53] Hisako
That announcement was tantamount
to a death sentence.
[03:56] Hisako
It was a notice that anyone who does
not obey Nakiri Azami will be expelled!
[04:01] M
Sorry, Mom.
[04:03] M
Sorry, harbor folk...
[04:05] M
You all sent me out to Tokyo for nothing.
[04:08] M
I need to write a letter
to the folks back home.
[04:10] Yuki
I have such fond memories of the
fun we had at the camp from hell.
[04:13] Others
The camp from hell...
[04:15] Yuki
The Stagiaire we endured.
[04:18] Others
The Stagiaire...
[04:19] Ibu
What are you doing?
[04:20] Yuki
The Moon Festival where we all came together.
[04:21] Ryoko
You don't have to get that depressed...
[04:22] Others
The Moon Festival...
[04:23] Hisako
Calm down, everyone.
[04:24] M
You should all write letters, too.
[04:36] (Flashback) Tsukasa
The exams will also clearly demonstrate
what happens to those of you
[04:40] (Flashback) Tsukasa
who do not fall in line with
Director Azami's vision.
[04:46] S
Who is it?
[04:47] S
Door's open.
[04:54] S
Nakiri?
[05:05] S
What's up? You need something?
[05:07] E
U-Um...
[05:09] E
About the match with Tsukasa-san!
[05:11] E
Any complaints you might have about me not
choosing your dish are unfounded, okay?
[05:17] E
It's your fault for taking on
a match you couldn't have won!
[05:20] S
Well, yeah. I was outmatched,
so that was a no-brainer.
[05:24] E
What? F-Fine, as long as you understand.
[05:30] S
Is that all?
[05:31] E
N-No!
[05:32] E
I'm actually here to talk
about something else.
[05:34] S
I don't really get it, but sure, have a seat.
[05:39] E
Until a certain day, it may
have been that I...
[05:44] E
No, I definitely did not have
any strong feelings about food.
[05:51] E
As someone with the God Tongue,
[05:54] E
I was forced to face an overwhelming
number of dishes on a daily basis.
[05:57] E
I thought I had no choice.
[06:00] E
No choice but to be disappointed
by what I tasted every single day.
[06:05] E
That's when I met Saiba-sama.
[06:09] E
It was a short while after
Alice left for Scandinavia.
[06:14] E
That day, my taste-testing appointment
was canceled, a rare occurrence.
[06:18] E
There were no other visitors, so I
remember it being very quiet at home.
[06:25] GirlE
What's that?
[06:29] GirlE
Grandfather...
[06:31] GirlE
Who are you with?
[06:35] GirlE
What a wonderful smell...
SIGN Hungry...
[06:41] (Flashback) Sen
Erina?
[06:42] (Flashback) Jo
Come now, Senzaemon-dono.
[06:44] (Flashback) Jo
This isn't what we agreed to.
[06:46] (Flashback) Jo
I only came because you said you'd
make sure no one else would be around.
[06:50] (Flashback) GirlE
My taste-testing appointment
was canceled by the client.
[06:54] (Flashback) Sen
I see.
[06:56] (Flashback) Sen
Erina, this man is an old friend of mine.
[07:00] (Flashback) Sen
This is a private meal.
[07:02] (Flashback) Sen
I'm sorry, but—
[07:04] (Flashback) GirlE
I'm sorry.
[07:05] (Flashback) GirlE
I'll go now.
SIGN Hungry...
[07:10] (Flashback) Jo
Erina-chan, was it?
[07:12] (Flashback) Jo
I see.
[07:13] (Flashback) Jo
So you're Azami's...
[07:15] (Flashback) Jo
If you'd like, you may stay and try some.
[07:17] (Flashback) Jo
It's a bit lonely with just
the two of us at the table.
[07:23] (Flashback) Jo
There you go. Go ahead.
[07:36] GirlE
I can feel a warm glow
spreading from deep within...
[07:40] GirlE
This is totally different from
anything else I've ever eaten.
[07:44] GirlE
It's fun.
[07:46] GirlE
I'm having fun!
[07:55] (Flashback) GirlE
U-Um...
[07:58] (Flashback) GirlE
May I know your name?
[08:02] (Flashback) Jo
It's Saiba.
[08:06] E
That was the first time I ever
thought food was wonderful.
[08:11] E
Then...
[08:12] (Flashback) Azami
Never allow an imperfect dish to pass.
[08:15] (Flashback) Azami
Anything other than what I,
your father, acknowledge is trash.
[08:18] (Flashback) Azami
Filth.
[08:19] (Flashback) Azami
Garbage.
[08:21] E
Six months later was when
Father's "education" began.
[08:25] E
I still remember the wonder I felt
when I ate Saiba-sama's cooking.
[08:30] E
But... I also understand where
Father's principles are coming from.
[08:36] E
There are so many imperfect
dishes in the world...
[08:40] E
I grew up seeing the reality of
it for as long as I can remember.
[08:46] E
I don't know anymore what food means to me.
[08:51] E
I'm very lost, not knowing what to believe in.
[08:55] S
Hmm...
[08:57] E
Sorry.
[08:58] E
I came here on an impulse,
[09:00] E
but of course I'm just bothering
you by telling you all this.
[09:03] E
Excuse me.
[09:04] S
Hey, hang on.
[09:08] S
Maybe you just need to taste
it one more time, huh?
[09:12] S
I'll make it for you.
[09:14] S
I'll make Yukihira food for
you right here, right now!
[09:19] S
Please wait a moment, Nakiri Erina-dono!
[09:22] Hisako
Erina-sama.
[09:24] Hisako
Erina-sama, where are you?
[09:26] Hisako
Erina-sama!
[09:27] Hisako
Erina-sama!
[09:28] Hisako
Erina-sama!
[09:28] Yuki
What's up, Miss Secretary?
[09:30] Hisako
Don't call me that!
[09:31] Hisako
I can't find Erina-sama anywhere!
[09:33] Ryoko
Maybe she's using the
restroom or taking a bath?
[09:34] Hisako
I looked, but she wasn't there!
[09:36] Hisako
Azami-dono may have abducted her!
[09:37] Hisako
That must be it!
[09:38] Hisako
Azami-dono took her because I
let my guard down for a moment!
[09:41] Hisako
How could this have happened
with me by her side?!
[09:43] Hisako
I could've prevented this with a body double
or 3D printer or body-swap ninja technique—
[09:44] M
I think she's in Soma-kun's room...
[09:47] Hisako
What?!
[09:48] E
You're going to have me taste
Yukihira food here right now?
[09:51] E
And what would that accomplish, exactly?
[09:54] E
The dish Saiba-sama prepared
was wonderful beyond comparison
[09:56] E
to the likes of your crude creations!
[09:59] S
Oh, you're not all meek anymore!
You're back to your normal self.
[10:02] S
Dad trained me hardcore at home, you know.
[10:06] S
Maybe you'll remember something if
you taste some Yukihira food, yeah?
[10:12] E
Hmph.
[10:13] E
And what are you planning to make?
[10:16] S
A tempura bowl.
[10:17] E
A tempura bowl?
[10:18] S
Well, just wait and see.
[10:20] S
I'll let you taste something
I'm really proud of.
[10:25] Y
He totally just made that face he makes when
he's about to create something grotesque!
[10:29] Ryoko
What kind of tempura are you
planning on making, Yukihira-kun?
[10:32] Marui
He's going to serve that to the God Tongue.
[10:34] Marui
If her sensitive palate were to
meet one of Yukihira's grotesque dishes...
[10:38] Aoki
In the worst case scenario, death.
[10:40] M
It'll be fine!
[10:42] M
Soma-kun's preparing a dish because he has
something he wants Nakiri-san to understand.
[10:47] YR
Megumi...
[10:49] Ryoko
Hearing you say it...
[10:51] Yuki
...as someone who's fallen victim
to his grotesque dishes the most...
[10:53] Ryoko
You've got zero credibility.
[10:56] Hisako
Yukihira...
[10:57] M
Soma-kun...
[11:00] S
Bonito's good.
[11:01] S
Batter's good.
[11:03] S
I already had some rice soaking,
so that was lucky!
[11:06] S
Hang on tight.
[11:07] S
I'll serve up an unbelievably
tasty tempura bowl!
[11:11] E
Yukihira Soma, you look just
like you did that day...
[11:16] E
when you were facing the Elite Ten's
first seat, Tsukasa Eishi.
[11:20] E
Despite challenging an insurmountable wall,
[11:24] E
you still looked like you were having
an incredible amount of fun cooking.
[11:28] E
I'm sure I looked like that
when I was little, too.
[11:33] (Flashback) Adults
Erina-sama, you have a responsibility
to the Nakiri family.
[11:37] (Flashback) Adults
Please prioritize the
family name over your own self.
[11:42] (Flashback) Adults
That's the God Tongue.
[11:44] (Flashback) Adults
I should curry favor with her now.
[11:48] (Flashback) GirlAlice
Hey, Erina!
[11:49] (Flashback) GirlAlice
I'm going to become the top chef
at Totsuki Academy some day!
[11:53] (Flashback) GirlAlice
I think it'll be really fun
to perfect the dishes I love!
[11:57] (Flashback) GirlAlice
I'm not going to hold back
just because we're cousins!
[12:00] (Flashback) GirlAlice
Let's give it our best, okay?
[12:02] (Flashback) GirlE
R-Right. Okay.
[12:06] GirlE
Sorry, Alice.
[12:08] GirlE
I don't think cooking's fun at all...
[12:15] S
You're looking depressed again.
[12:18] S
You're usually all high and mighty,
[12:20] S
but you sometimes get like this.
[12:22] E
Wh-What's your point?
[12:24] S
Perk up, will you?
[12:26] S
After all, I'm super stoked that
I can finally get back at you
[12:30] S
for what happened the day we first met.
[12:37] (Flashback) E
It's disgusting!
[12:41] (Flashback) S
Just you wait!
[12:42] (Flashback) S
I'll make you say "delicious!"
[12:49] S
Today's the day I'll make
you say "delicious!"
[12:53] S
Here you go!
[13:00] E
You have confidence, if nothing else.
[13:02] E
What dish could you have
possibly prepared for me?
[13:07] S
I can answer that.
[13:08] S
It's a Yukihira-Style Chicken's Egg Tempura Bowl!
[13:13] E
Chicken's egg tempura?
[13:14] E
What does he mean by that?
[13:17] E
What?
[13:19] E
The egg white is barely set,
[13:21] E
and the yolk is perfectly soft-boiled!
[13:23] E
It's silky smooth!
[13:25] M
What?
[13:26] M
So he made raw egg tempura?
[13:28] Yuki
How did he even fry it?
[13:30] Ryoko
You can't just chuck a raw egg into
hot oil to get a tempura egg, right?
[13:34] Ibu
The batter wouldn't stick
to it in the first place.
[13:36] Marui
No way! Did he fry it inside its shell?
[13:38] Sato
Is she supposed to eat it shell and all?
[13:40] E
Did he batter and fry a
soft-boiled egg, perhaps?
[13:44] E
No, the heat would've fully cooked the yolk.
[13:48] E
How did he make this dish?
[13:51] S
Mysterious, huh?
[13:52] S
Aren't you curious?
[13:54] E
You're as irritating as usual!
[13:56] S
The secret's inside here.
[14:00] E
You took the egg from the freezer?!
[14:02] S
That's right!
[14:03] S
This tempura was made by coating
a frozen raw egg with batter!
[14:07] S
That's the star of this tempura bowl.
[14:10] S
Peel a frozen egg, dip it in batter,
[14:11] S
then fry it up nice and crisp.
[14:15] S
Drizzle a good amount of sauce
on freshly-made piping-hot rice,
[14:18] S
pair the egg tempura with fried perilla,
[14:21] S
pour more sauce on top,
[14:22] S
and it's done.
[14:23] S
Well, just dig in!
[14:25] E
I see.
[14:27] E
But novelty foods don't impress me.
[14:30] E
A dish with egg as its main
ingredient will be simple.
[14:35] E
That means the chef's skills
and the ingredients' quality
[14:37] E
are directly reflected by the dish!
[14:39] E
Let's hope you won't regret serving
this dish to the God Tongue.
[14:43] Aoki
Hey! Erinacchi's gonna taste it!
[14:46] Marui
Yeah... I wonder if it's up to snuff?
[14:50] M
Ryoko-chan?
[14:52] Ryoko
I actually saw Yukihira-kun
making a bulk purchase earlier.
[14:56] Ryoko
Of bargain eggs...
SIGN Bargain Eggs
[14:58] Ryoko
Sold for 106 yen a dozen...
[15:00] Yuki
What, bargain eggs?
[15:02] Hisako
That's not good.
[15:03] Hisako
Since infancy, Erina-sama has been surrounded
by only select, high-quality ingredients.
[15:08] Hisako
Who knows how her body might react
if she were to taste something cheap?
[15:13] All
What?
[15:20] Yuki
Erinacchi!
[15:21] Yuki
Don't!
[15:30] E
I could tell right away
[15:32] E
that the egg you prepared is different
from those of high-class silky fowl
[15:35] E
and other brand name eggs.
[15:38] E
This egg is of the same quality as those
served at the common kitchen table.
[15:41] E
It should be a far cry from refined cuisine.
[15:44] E
And yet...
[15:54] E
How...
[15:56] E
How is it even possible to achieve...
[15:58] E
such delicate and complex... flavors?!
[16:08] S
About how freezing changes the egg...
[16:11] S
There's another advantage to it.
[16:13] S
It intensifies the flavor of the yolk.
[16:18] E
The flavor... intensifies?
[16:20] S
Freezing chicken eggs causes the proteins
to coalesce into a gel-like state.
[16:26] S
That results in a creamy,
gelatinous mouthfeel,
[16:29] S
and a much richer yolk flavor.
[16:33] S
Basically, freezing the egg
[16:35] S
is the single most important
contributor to this dish's taste!
[16:38] S
There's also a generous amount
[16:40] S
of a sweet-and-spicy umami sauce,
a Yukihira special blend.
[16:43] S
It's a strongly-flavored sauce with a
bonito stock base, soy sauce, and mirin.
[16:47] S
There's no question that it pairs
well with the egg and rice!
[16:50] S
But if you used an egg
that's too rich in flavor,
[16:54] S
the overall dish would become overwhelming.
[16:57] E
Is that why you...?
[16:58] S
That's right!
[16:59] S
The frozen egg's mouthfeel and richness,
plus the special sauce's strong flavors—
[17:04] S
It's best to use a lighter-tasting
egg to maximize the two components!
SIGN Bargain Eggs
[17:08] Yuki
Oh, right!
[17:09] Ryoko
So he chose bargain eggs for a reason!
[17:13] M
Good job, Soma-kun!
[17:14] S
Come to think of it,
[17:16] S
eggs were the topic you assigned back then.
[17:21] S
Don't you think this is the perfect dish
to settle our score once and for all?
[17:28] E
How...
[17:29] S
Hm?
[17:31] E
How did you even come up with this idea?
[17:33] E
It's common knowledge that
freshness is key to egg quality.
[17:36] E
Besides, isn't it the norm
to focus on obtaining the
[17:39] E
rarest and highest-quality eggs?
[17:41] E
And yet, how did you...
[17:43] E
How did you come up with this—
[17:44] S
Because this is more fun.
[17:47] S
This is just my opinion,
[17:49] S
but I don't think people who
only know one "correct" answer
[17:52] S
can get themselves to reach
even greater heights.
[17:55] S
Besides, above all...
[17:59] (Flashback) GirlE
Um, how did you come up with those
combinations of ingredients?
[18:03] (Flashback) GirlE
Each dish was so innovative.
[18:05] (Flashback) GirlE
Unconventional, yet meticulous...
[18:08] (Flashback) GirlE
Do you know from the start that
the dish will turn out well?
[18:11] (Flashback) Jo
Nope.
[18:12] (Flashback) GirlE
What?
[18:13] (Flashback) Jo
Whenever I test a new dish,
[18:16] (Flashback) Jo
I'm 50 percent certain and
50 percent taking a gamble.
[18:18] (Flashback) Jo
Even today, several dishes were
using your gramps as a test subject.
[18:22] (Flashback) GirlE
Why do you go so far?
[18:24] (Flashback) Jo
That's obvious.
[18:26] (Flashback) Jo/S
If you know exactly where
you're headed, it's no fun at all.
[18:26] Jo/S
If you know exactly where
you're headed, it's no fun at all.
[18:30] E
Ah, that's right.
[18:33] E
I remember now.
[18:36] E
I...
[18:46] E
...wanted to do that kind of cooking.
[18:50] E
I remember now.
[18:58] (Flashback) Azami
Listen, Erina.
[18:59] (Flashback) Azami
Only dishes I acknowledge and Central
creates can be considered food.
[19:04] E
No.
[19:05] (Flashback) Azami
Eradicating all else as
"feed" from the Academy
[19:08] (Flashback) Azami
and nurturing the entire
student body into a loyal army
[19:12] (Flashback) Azami
will strengthen Totsuki as a whole.
[19:13] E
No.
[19:14] (Flashback) Azami
What I advance as true gourmet food
[19:17] (Flashback) Azami
will become absolute justice.
[19:18] E
No!
[19:20] E
Father, I believe the
chefs and their dishes...
[19:23] E
want to be free.
[19:33] S
So, how was it?
[19:35] S
How was the Yukihira special?
[19:37] S
So, let's hear it for the taste, Nakiri.
[19:42] S
It was delicious, yeah?
[19:43] S
Delicious?
[19:44] S
Right?
[19:50] E
I've decided!
[19:51] S
Huh?
[19:53] E
Yukihira-kun!
[19:54] E
Do exactly what I'm about to tell you!
[19:57] S
Huh?
[19:57] E
Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock!
[19:59] E
Have all the Polar Star Dormitory
first-years assemble before the entrance!
[20:02] S
S-Sure.
[20:03] S
Fine by me, but how was the taste?
[20:06] E
Okay, I'm counting on you!
[20:08] E
I have to make preparations!
[20:10] S
H-H-H-Hey!
[20:11] S
What about the taste?!
[20:12] E
And one more thing!
[20:13] E
Tell Tadokoro-san that she can dispose
of the letter she was writing home.
[20:22] S
Huh?
[20:24] M
I wonder what happened.
SIGN The Next Morning
[20:30] Aoki
Brr...
[20:32] Ibu
It's technically winter now.
[20:35] Maruki
I guess we won't have much longer to
breathe in the morning air at the dorm.
[20:38] Sato
Our lives are over once the
advancement exam happens.
[20:41] M
I wonder what Nakiri-san wants,
gathering all of us here.
[20:44] S
Oh, she didn't tell me anything.
[20:47] Hisako
Erina-sama...
[20:49] Yuki
Oh, Erinacchi!
[20:52] E
Ahem...
[20:54] E
Good day, Polar Star Dormitory residents.
[20:57] Aoki
What the hell?
[20:57] E
Hmph.
[20:59] E
You all look dejected again, like before.
[21:02] Yuki
Huh?
[21:03] E
It's obvious now what the
[21:04] E
outcome of the advancement exam would be,
before it even happens.
[21:08] E
Maybe it'd be better for all of you
to just leave the academy now?
[21:10] Aoki
Wh-What's wrong with you?!
[21:12] Aoki
You had us all show up just to tell us that?!
[21:14] Yuki
We all want to keep on cooking
at this academy, too!
[21:19] Yuki
Why...?
[21:20] Yuki
You didn't have to say it like that!
[21:23] E
It's been some time since I came
into this dormitory's care.
[21:28] E
During that time, I have sampled
your creations numerous times.
[21:32] E
At times, they tasted unusual.
At other times, they tasted absurd.
[21:36] E
I've lost count of how many times
I scolded you all for it!
[21:40] E
But your dishes were always free!
[21:46] E
If you stay down like you are now,
[21:49] E
you will be terminated without even
getting to build on your strengths!
[21:52] E
How pathetic!
[21:53] E
Is that really how you want things to end?!
[21:55] Yuki
B-But how can we pass the exam, anyway?
[21:59] E
There's no question about how!
[22:02] E
You'll have to get through it
with the power of your cooking!
[22:04] Marui
Wow.
[22:06] Sato
She's starting to sound like Yukihira.
[22:08] Hisako
Erina-sama!
[22:10] (Flashback) E
I've started to think about
what I really want to do, too.
[22:19] E
If you have the determination
to survive this,
[22:23] E
I will support you using everything I
have in my power as the God Tongue!
[22:27] E
If you don't have the willpower
to survive, then just leave now!
[22:30] E
Those who stay will face the exam with me!
[22:34] E
Come!
[22:36] E
If you are true chefs with any pride at all,
[22:39] E
follow me!
