[00:03] Hayama
    You will lose a third time, too—
[00:05] Hayama
    An even worse defeat than before.
[00:11] S
    Hey, Hayama.
[00:12] S
    You look kind of glum for someone who
    managed to win a seat in the Elite Ten.
[00:17] S
    You even got in bed with Central
[00:20] S
    to get what you wanted in the Elite Ten.
[00:22] S
    You should at least look
    like you're having fun.
[00:24] Hayama
    I didn't join Central to have fun.
[00:27] Hayama
    I joined Central...
[00:30] Hayama
    ...for Jun.
[00:33] S
    What do you mean by that—
[00:34] Hayama
    That's none of your business.
[00:36] Hayama
    Stop bothering me.
[00:39] Hayama
    This match is only a checkpoint for me.

[02:15] Kuga
    Hey, Yukihira-chin!
[02:17] Kuga
    Why'd you come back with
    your tail between your legs?
[02:19] Kuga
    That was your chance to
    challenge him to a Shokugeki!
[02:21] Kuga
    It's so easy!
[02:23] Kuga
    "Let's do a Shokugeki at this exam!"
[02:25] Kuga
    That's all you had to say!
[02:26] Kuga
    You wanna crush Hayama, don't you?
[02:29] S
    Well, sure, but...
[02:33] S
    Hm?
[02:37] D
    Hm?
[02:38] S
    Dojima-senpai...
[02:39] D
    What's wrong, Yukihira?
[02:41] D
    You look like something's on your mind.
[02:46] D
    How the Shiomi Research Group was shut down?
[02:49] S
    Yeah.
[02:50] S
    Do you know how it happened, Dojima-senpai?
[02:52] S
    Did Hayama not challenge Central to a
    Shokugeki for the research group's survival?
[02:57] Kuga
    What's any of this got to
    do with you, Yukihira-chin?
[03:01] Kuga
    Who cares about a loser who's become
    the Azami administration's lap dog?
[03:06] S
    Well, I just have a hard time imagining
    someone like Hayama taking orders
[03:10] S
    from an enemy without a reason.
[03:12] D
    As you'd guessed, that wasn't his plan.
[03:16] D
    At least, not at first.

[03:25] (Flashback) Jun
    We did it!
[03:26] (Flashback) Jun
    A lot of corporate reps just came over

    and said they'll increase the budget
    for our joint projects—all of them!
[03:32] (Flashback) H
    Huh.
[03:33] (Flashback) H
    Well, that's no surprise given
    all your accomplishments.
[03:37] (Flashback) H
    You may not look it, but you
    used to be in the Elite Ten.

    What's that supposed to mean?!

[03:41] (Flashback) Jun
    Hey, are you listening
    to me, Hayama-kun? Hey!
[03:44] H
    I guess we'll be neck deep

    What do you mean, you want to

    We do apologize for the inconvenience.
[03:52] Corp
    The details will be
    specified in the letter.
[03:53] (Flashback) H
    Hey, wait...
[03:55] Corp
    We do apologize. Please consider
    the contract null and void.
[03:58] Corp
    We understand it's a major inconvenience,
[04:00] Corp
    but we are withdrawing our
    sponsorship effective immediately.
[04:03] (Flashback) H
    Why?!
[04:04] (Flashback) H
    Tell us why!
[04:05] (Flashback) Azami
    Because all autonomous groups in
    Totsuki Academy will be disbanded.
[04:11] (Flashback) Azami
    Central will be the only
    public face of Totsuki.
[04:18] (Flashback) Azami
    Welcome, Hayama Akira-kun.
[04:20] (Flashback) Azami
    Your culinary sensitivities are
[04:21] (Flashback) Azami
    worthy of inclusion in the world
    of true gourmet food I envision.
[04:24] (Flashback) Azami
    I want you to join Central.
[04:26] (Flashback) Azami
    I'll give you an entire laboratory
    facility for your personal use.
[04:30] (Flashback) Azami
    That is, if you'll accept the
    disbanding of the research group
[04:34] (Flashback) Azami
    and swear fealty to me.
[04:35] (Flashback) H
    This is stupid, old man.
[04:38] (Flashback) H
    I'll never let you shut down
    Shiomi Research Group—
[04:40] (Flashback) Azami
    That research group has no
    future as long as I'm here.

[04:43] (Flashback) Azami
    Neither do these, in fact.
[04:46] (Flashback) H
    Give them back!
[04:47] (Flashback) H
    You have no right to them!
[04:49] (Flashback) H
    That's our—the research group's—research data!
[04:53] (Flashback) Azami
    This is where we begin negotiations.
[04:57] (Flashback) Azami
    If you'll do as I say,
[04:59] (Flashback) Azami
    I'll allow you to add Professor Shiomi
     to your research facility.
[05:03] (Flashback) Azami
    You can choose to engage
    in a Shokugeki for the
[05:05] (Flashback) Azami
    continued existence of your research group,
[05:07] (Flashback) Azami
    but even if you win, your corporate
    partnerships are long gone.
[05:10] (Flashback) Azami
    Professor Shiomi's activities will
    most likely be restricted, too.
[05:21] (Flashback) Azami
    In the coming days, there will be a battle
    royale to fill the vacant Elite Ten seats.
[05:26] (Flashback) Azami
    I do hope to see you there.
[05:28] D
    Hayama participated in the battle
     royale and became the ninth seat.
[05:34] D
    That is all I've heard.
[05:37] D
    It's likely that forcing Hayama Akira to
[05:39] D
    become an ally was Nakiri Azami's
    objective from the very start.
[05:43] Kuga
    Azami's such a bastard!
[05:45] Kuga
    Unbelievable!
[05:46] Kuga
    Seriously?! I feel really
    bad for Hayama-chin!
[05:51] D
    Hayama must defeat you in
    order to reach his goal.
[05:56] S
    I see.
[05:57] S
    So that's why he said it's a checkpoint.
[06:02] Kuga
    Hey, Yukihira-chin?
[06:05] S
    Hayama!
[06:08] S
    Hayama!
[06:09] S
    Hayama!
[06:11] S
    Hayama!
[06:12] S
    Hayama!
[06:14] S
    Hayama!
[06:21] S
    Hayama, I heard what burden you're carrying.
[06:25] S
    If you can beat me in the advancement exam,
[06:27] S
    you can keep on doing what you want to do.
[06:30] S
    So this match is just a
    checkpoint for that, right?
[06:34] H
    Sounds about right.
[06:39] S
    You should really stop underestimating me.
[06:44] S
    I'm here to redeem myself.
[06:46] S
    I don't care what the actual reasons are—
[06:48] S
    I'm really looking forward
    to facing you for real.
[06:51] S
    Don't you dare be distracted by anything
    but what you'll be cooking, got it?!
[06:55] H
    Huh?
[06:56] H
    Any match needs a goal.
[06:59] H
    You have no idea what's going on, anyway—
[07:00] S
    Wasn't the research group important to you?
[07:03] S
    And you couldn't even fight to save it.
[07:07] S
    The hell I'm gonna lose to
    a pathetic loser like that!
[07:10] H
    Yukihira!
[07:12] H
    Fine.
[07:13] H
    If you're that eager to suffer defeat...
[07:16] H
    I'll hand it to you on a silver platter.
[07:22] Kuga
    Yukihira-chin, you might
    get expelled for this.
[07:26] Kuga
    Do you understand that?
SIGN    Day of Stage Three Exam
[07:30] S
    So your stage three exam also
    involves facing the Elite Ten?
[07:32] Alice
    Yes, both Ryo-kun and I are heading over now.
[07:37] Alice
    Who would've thought that
    Hayama-kun would turn against us
[07:40] Alice
    after we worked hard at the
    Moon Festival together?!
[07:45] Alice
    Has he forgotten the mindset we developed
    in the White Coat Trio team I led?
[07:50] Alice
    He's got a lecture coming!
[07:52] S
    Oh, you do that.
[07:54] S
    Oh, if you have a message
    for me, I can tell him.
[07:57] Alice
    No, that's not necessary.
[08:00] Alice
    We'll all pass stage three and
    meet up at the next exam location.
[08:05] Alice
    Then we can all complain to Hayama-kun.
[08:09] S
    Right, we all will.
[08:13] S
    Good luck!
[08:14] S
    All right!
[08:16] S
    Everyone else's fired up, too.
[08:18] S
    I've gotta keep up!
[08:20] Kuga
    Yukihira-chin, you understand this, right?
[08:23] Kuga
    You're all up against the Elite Ten.
[08:25] Kuga
    It's impossible for all the rebels
     to make it through this round.
[08:31] Kuga
    A normal person would think that, at least.
[08:36] S
    Well, that's up to them.
[08:40] S
    I can only work on my upcoming match.

    Yeah.

    Hey, now isn't the time to be
    worrying about anyone else!
[08:54] Rindo
    After all, I'm the one you'll be facing!
[09:01] Rindo
    Well, let's get cooking!

    Everyone...
[09:20] E
    I can only have faith
[09:23] E
    in the abilities of the

[09:35] D
    I trust you're both ready.
[09:38] D
    Let me introduce the judges to you.
[09:40] BS
    Stare...
[09:41] S
    Huh?
[09:43] Sh
    Hey, Berta. The other one's
    better looking, isn't he?
[09:46] B
    Yes, he is, Cilla.
[09:48] Sh
    But maybe I don't really like
    men who are too good looking.
[09:52] Sh
    This unsophisticated-looking guy
    might be more reliable.
[09:55] B
    You just don't get it, Cilla!
[09:57] B
    Guys like him can be more passionate!
[10:01] Sh
    Really?
[10:02] Sh
    Then I'll cheer him on, too!
[10:05] B
    Yup, yup.
[10:06] BS
    So, good luck, handsome!
[10:09] S
    Wow, I feel like I've already
    lost before we even got started.
[10:12] Kuga
    Hey, Dojima-senpai.
[10:15] Kuga
    Where's the impartiality here?!
[10:17] Kuga
    And they're both just kids!
[10:18] Kuga
    How can they be judges?
[10:21] Sh
    I hate rude people!
[10:23] B
    What's your complaint, shorty?
[10:25] Kuga
    Who you calling "shorty"?!
[10:27] D
    Allow me to introduce them.
[10:29] D
    They are Cilla and Berta, geniuses
    whose knowledge of brain physiology
SIGN    Nakiri International Research Staff
    Cilla & Berta
[10:33] D
    and culinary sensitivity led them to
    be recruited by Nakiri Leonora-dono.
[10:38] D
    Their ability to judge
    dishes is unquestionable.
[10:41] D
    The chair of the judging panel
[10:43] D
    is the founder of Totsuki International,
    the academy's research institute.
[10:48] B
    Oh, Nassan.
[10:49] Sh
    Good morning, Nassan!
[10:51] S
    "Nassan"?
[10:52] D
    He's delegated most of the institute's
    day-to-day operations to his wife, Leonora,
[10:57] D
    to focus his efforts on
    negotiating external contracts.
[11:00] D
    He is Nakiri Soue-dono.

[11:06] S
    So he's Leonora-san's husband,

    Nakiri Erina's uncle,
[11:11] S
    and the former director's son!
[11:14] D
    Thank you for coming all
    the way here, Soue-dono.
[11:17] Soei
    It's been a while, Dojima Gin.
[11:19] Soei
    I trust you've been well?
[11:21] S
    Wow, he's really uptight.
[11:23] Kuga
    But wait, he's a relative
    of Nakiri Azami's, isn't he?
[11:27] Kuga
    How can we trust him?!
[11:28] Soei
    Do not underestimate me, Kuga Terunori.
[11:30] Soei
    As a judge, I swear I will
    exercise absolute impartiality.
[11:33] Soei
    Even if this were a match involving
    my own daughter, Alice,
[11:36] Soei
    I would be fair in my judgment.
[11:38] Soei
    Why?
[11:40] Soei
    Because even should she be defeated,
[11:42] Soei
    Alice is the most adorable
    thing in the entire world.
[11:44] Soei
    Oh, but Leonora is the most adorable
    thing in the entire world, too.
[11:48] Soei
    Their charm is the sole mystery I can
    never solve, even in a lifetime of research.
[11:55] S
    It turns out he's a doting
    father and husband, I guess.
[11:57] Soei
    So...
[11:58] Soei
    Hayama Akira. Yukihira Soma.
[12:01] Soei
    Look.
[12:02] Soei
    Here is the bear meat
    that is the topic today.
[12:08] Chinese RS
    What a thick layer of fat!
[12:10] Soei
    The bear was caught by a first-rate hunter.
[12:13] Soei
    The carcass was butchered and drained
    of blood with flawless expertise.
[12:16] Soei
    You will face each other using this meat.
[12:19] S
    Got it.
[12:20] S
    Hayama, let's do a taste
    comparison of each other's food,
[12:23] S
    just like we did in the prelims.
[12:24] H
    I have no idea what you're
    planning to prepare,
[12:27] H
    but there's nothing to
    compare between us anymore.
[12:29] H
    We are worlds apart.
[12:31] D
    It's time.
[12:33] D
    Let the cooking begin!
[12:38] Chinese RS
    What part is Hayama going to use?
[12:40] Chinese RS
    Looks like loin.
[12:42] Chinese RS
    He's chopped the meat into large chunks,
[12:44] Chinese RS
    and is coating them with a puree
    of garlic, ginger, and onion.
[12:48] Chinese RS
    He's going to tenderize the
    meat with that marinade.
[12:51] Chinese RS
    Meanwhile, he's making batter
    from eggs and starch...
[12:55] Chinese RS
    And oil?
[12:57] D
    He's going to fry it.
[12:59] H
    Fried chicken is a dish with a long history,
     born in the American south.
[13:05] H
    I'll serve you a version of the dish
    that is appropriate for this venue.
[13:11] Chinese RS
    "Fried chicken" made with bear meat...
[13:13] Chinese RS
    So chicken-fried bear?
[13:15] Chinese RS
    Hayama's going in for the kill.
[13:18] Kuga
    If he can concentrate the bear's
    umami within the batter,
[13:22] Kuga
    he'll create the ultimate dish
    that'll knock your brains out.
[13:26] Kuga
    But on the flip side, if he botches the
    removal of gaminess from the meat,
[13:29] Kuga
    all the unpleasant flavors will be
    trapped within the batter.
[13:33] D
    Will it be umami or smelliness that's left?
[13:36] D
    It's big gamble!
[13:42] D
    Hayama has no intention of playing defense...
[13:45] D
    He intends to bring the
    fight to close quarters!
[13:47] Soei
    It seems he has absolute confidence.
[13:50] Soei
    He believes he can control every
    single aspect of the ingredient.
[13:54] Chinese RS
    Look!
[13:55] Chinese RS
    Yukihira-dono's also
    preparing breading and oil!
[14:02] (Flashback) Kuga
    Even a smell that may be totally
    fine when out in the open
[14:06] (Flashback) Kuga
    can turn into an unpleasant
    odor in a more confined space.
[14:09] (Flashback) Hunter
    That does mean that if you can't take
    advantage of the smell that remains,
[14:12] (Flashback) Hunter
    it's because you're a bad chef.
[14:15] S
    I finally get it now, after listening
    to Kuga-senpai and the hunter guy.
[14:18] S
    I have to take full advantage
    of the bear's flavors,
[14:21] S
    even if I have to risk trapping
    bad odors in the dish!
[14:23] S
    If I don't, I'm never going to
    stand a chance against Hayama.
[14:27] S
    And this...
[14:30] S
    ...is my answer!
[14:31] Chinese RS
    So they both chose a fried dish in the end?!
[14:35] D
    One could say the gloves
    are off on this fight.
[14:38] D
    It'll be a fierce slugfest between
    two boxers at close quarters!
[14:51] S
    Combine different parts of the bear—
[14:53] S
    loin, boned rib, round, and
    fatty and lean meat—
[14:55] S
    into ground meat.
[14:59] S
    Season with schisandra, onion, and salt.
[15:02] S
    One misstep and the umami
    will turn into smelliness.
[15:05] S
    Stay sharp.
[15:07] S
    Keep dealing the best hand you can think of!
[15:14] D
    Yukihira's pouring bear broth into the meat!
[15:18] D
    So he's adding even more of
    the bear's essential flavors
[15:20] D
    when the meat already has
    a strong wild flavor.
[15:24] D
    You can't help but get drawn in...
[15:26] D
    ...by the two's tension.
[15:30] D
    There's no way anyone can look away.
[15:32] D
    What they're doing...
[15:35] D
    ...will easily lead to self-destruction
[15:37] D
    with a single misstep!
[15:38] D
    What a nerve-wracking tightrope walk!
[15:43] D
    But...
[15:49] D
    When it comes to a tightrope
    of flavor and fragrance,
[15:51] D
    Hayama Akira is the greater expert!
[15:55] Chinese RS
    There it is!
[15:56] Chinese RS
    Hayama's original Cajun spice blend!
[16:00] S
    He must be making a sauce.
[16:03] H
    Yukihira, don't tell me you have the
    time to lay eyes on anyone else.
[16:06] H
    Don't worry.
[16:08] H
    I'll make enough for you to try.
[16:10] H
    You can do all the taste comparing you want.
[16:13] B
    What is that smell?
[16:14] B
    Is it something like cypress?
[16:15] Sh
    It's a smell unique to conifers, Berta.
[16:18] B
    You're right, Cilla.
[16:20] B
    It's probably terpenes and phenols.
[16:22] Sh
    They stimulate the cerebral
    cortex and aid relaxation.
[16:26] Kuga
    I thought so.
[16:28] Kuga
    The core component of the fragrance
    Hayama is trying to create
[16:31] Kuga
    is the genièvre.
[16:33] S
    Geni... èvre?
[16:34] BSh
    Juniper berries.
[16:36] Sh
    They're a spice that's been used
     ever since ancient Egypt.
[16:40] Sh
    Right, Berta?
[16:41] B
    Yes, Cilla.
[16:42] B
    It has the astringency of pine resin
[16:44] B
    and a fragrant sweetness.
[16:45] B
    Some spiciness, too.
[16:47] H
    Thicken bear broth with flour and milk,
[16:52] H
    then season the sauce once it is
    fragrant and has deepened in color.
[16:56] H
    Add the spices for fragrance, and then...
[17:02] H
    You have a gravy that will
    further enhance the fried bear.
[17:06] Sh
    No way!
[17:07] Sh
    This is impossibly complex and fragrant
    compared to normal gravy!
[17:12] B
    I want to taste just a tiny bit!
[17:14] H
    You want to try it?
[17:17] H
    Sure.
[17:20] H
    Here.
[17:24] Sh
    What rich, wild bear flavor!
[17:26] Sh
    But there is no smelliness!
[17:30] B
    The juniper berry's spiciness
    is spreading throughout my body!
[17:34] Sh
    What a masculine, aggressive flavor!
[17:37] B
    I'm being schooled by
    this enthralling fragrance!
[17:40] BSh
    Even we...
[17:41] BSh
    are easily...
[17:45] BSh
    domesticated!
[17:50] D
    What a terrifying chef.
[17:52] D
    Who would've thought that the sauce
    alone would be enough to subjugate them?
[17:57] S
    All right, my sauce is done, too.
[18:00] Chinese RS
    Oh!
[18:00] Chinese RS
    Yukihira-dono's getting to
    the frying process first.
[18:06] S
    How strange.
[18:08] S
    Thinking back,
[18:10] S
    I'm actually glad I lost that day.
SIGN    Hayama Akira
[18:14] S
    Thank you, Hayama.
[18:17] S
    If I hadn't lost to you,
[18:19] S
    I wouldn't be the chef I am now.
[18:22] Kuga
    He's improved the hamburger
    he tested earlier,
[18:26] Kuga
    and added the breading
[18:28] Kuga
    to further concentrate and
    strengthen the bear's flavors.
[18:30] Kuga
    It's a minced meat cutlet!
[18:34] S
    Now, judges.
[18:36] S
    Here's the best bear dish
    I could come up with.
[18:40] Sh
    Wow, Berta!
[18:43] B
    Cilla!
[18:44] B
    It's fried to perfection!
[18:45] B
    The brilliance of the
    essential fatty acids is
[18:47] B
    making my visual optic nerves really happy!
[18:49] S
    Hayama, I'll make yours
    right before you try it.
[18:53] S
    Just let me know when you
    have a minute to spare, okay?
[19:01] D
    Well, then. Soue-dono, Berta-dono,
    Cilla-dono, please try the dish!
[19:06] Chinese RS
    Can he win against Hayama Akira?
[19:08] D
    More importantly, did you win
    your own wager, Yukihira Soma?
[19:13] D
    How did you do on your tightrope walk
    across not letting any flavors escape,
[19:16] D
    while not permitting unpleasant odors?
[19:17] Sh
    I want to try it while
    it's still piping hot...
[19:20] B
    ...but what if it's really gamey inside?
[19:24] Soei
    May I have a napkin?
[19:26] Sh
    Nassan?!
[19:27] B
    You'll go first?!
[19:29] Soei
    Is this too impolite?
[19:31] S
    Not at all!
[19:32] S
    That's the best way to
    eat a minced meat cutlet!
[19:35] S
    Please take a big bite!
[19:38] Soei
    I will.
[19:42] Sh
    I'll try it, too!
[19:43] B
    Me, too, then!
[19:45] Sh
    So hot!
[19:48] BSh
    Here we go!
[19:57] BSh
    What is... this?
[20:01] B
    It's delicious!
[20:03] Sh
    The sweet and strong meat juices
    explode in your mouth—
[20:07] Sh
    The umami is enough to rattle your brains!
[20:10] B
    Sourness, bitterness, sweetness,
    spiciness, and saltiness...
[20:14] B
    The schisandra's various
    flavors are converting
[20:16] B
    the bear's gaminess into
    umami in a balanced way.
[20:20] Sh
    This is like getting slapped
    by the richness of flavor!
[20:23] Soei
    This is a watershed between the two extremes
    of flavor, the best and the worst.
[20:26] Soei
    Not to mention, he has made a dangerous
    gamble far beyond one's imagination.
[20:31] Soei
    Yukihira Soma,
[20:32] Soei
    you were fearless and generous with your
    use of meat that lay close to the bone.
[20:38] D
    I see.
[20:40] D
    The closer meat is to the bone,
    the more gamey its flavor!
[20:43] D
    This tendency is even more pronounced
    in the meat of wild game!
[20:49] Kuga
    So Yukihira-chin threw the smelliest
    parts of the bear into the cutlet.
[20:55] Kuga
    He discerned the limit of
    preventing smelliness
[20:58] Kuga
    and easily stepped over the line normal
    chefs would not be able to cross.
[21:03] B
    Why did you take such a big risk?
[21:04] S
    Well, smelliness has a powerful
    potential to lead to umami.
[21:10] S
    Of course you go all in!
[21:13] S
    That's where the potential
    for delicious taste lies.
[21:18] Sh
    Hey, Berta.
[21:19] Sh
    I thought he was unsophisticated...
[21:22] B
    Yeah, I guess we thought wrong, Cilla.
[21:25] BSh
    A dangerous man who takes big risks to win...
[21:28] BSh
    How wonderful!
[21:30] Soei
    Yukihira Soma...
[21:31] Soei
    He combined several different parts
    of the bear into the ground meat.
[21:35] Soei
    Doing so further emphasized the variance in
    the strength of flavors within the cutlet
[21:40] Soei
    and successfully created a umami gradient.
[21:44] Soei
    That is how he created
    such a complex richness.
[21:47] Soei
    He crossed quite a tightrope
    with this dish...
[21:51] Soei
    The determination of a chef
    to endure such risks—
[21:54] Soei
    is bursting me open!
[21:57] D
    Oh, look!
[21:59] ---
    He Who Inherits the Chest-Baring
[22:01] ---
    seems to have acknowledged Yukihira's dish.
[22:03] S
    Yeah!
[22:07] Kuga
    I knew I believed in you.
[22:09] S
    Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.
[22:16] H
    Thank you for waiting.
[22:18] H
    This is the ultimate bear dish.
