[00:43] Soma     Rindo-senpai... [00:44] Rindo     The one who was up against Aldini     and Tadokoro-chan... was me. [00:52] Erina     Everyone... [00:57] Soma     Nakiri? [00:59] Erina     No...

What was your result? SIGN    Declaration of War [02:49] Taku     Yeah, about that... [02:53] (Flashback) Rind     I guess I'll go ahead... [02:55] (Flashback) Rind     and dig in to Aldini's dish! [03:01] (Flashback) Rind     Yum! [03:03] (Flashback) Rind     Okay, next. Tadokoro-chan. [03:05] (Flashback) Tad     Uh, okay?! [03:09] (Flashback) Rind     This one's great, too! [03:11] (Flashback) Rind     Good! You both pass! [03:13] (Flashback) Tad     H-Huh? [03:15] (Flashback) Taku     Um... Huh? [03:16] (Flashback) Rind     My third-stage exam was to present     a dish that could make me say "yum." [03:21] (Flashback) Rind     Yes, you're supposed to go head-to-head     with members of the Elite Ten, [03:23] (Flashback) Rind     but nobody said it had to be a competition. [03:27] Erina     I see... [03:29] Soma     Rindo-senpai's such a weirdo. [03:32] Erina     But if anything, [03:34] Erina     that means that at least you two survived. [03:38] Tado     Wait, just us two? [03:40] Taku     You don't mean... [03:43] Taku     I see. That means... [03:46] Taku     All the other rebels that      went on the other routes [03:50] Taku     have already been expelled. [03:55] Taku     Isami... [03:57] Taku     Are we just supposed to     take this lying down?! [04:00] Taku     Our friends and my brother     have been taken down! [04:03] Taku     We're just supposed to sit     here and do nothing?! [04:05] Soma     Yeah... [04:06] Soma     This sucks pretty hard. [04:08] Taku     Yukihira! How can you be so calm?! [04:12] Soma     Well, I mean, they had a legit     cooking battle and lost, right? [04:17] Soma     Yeah, that really sucks, but it's not like     their opponent cheated or anything, [04:22] Soma     so what's the point of bad-mouthing them? [04:26] Taku     Well, you're right, but... even then— [04:29] Soma     The members of the Elite Ten can     do anything at the school, right? [04:34] Taku     What about it? [04:35] Soma     One, two, three, four... [04:38] Soma     We have four here. [04:39] Soma     And over there... Well, Hayama      got expelled, so they're down one... [04:44] Soma     Oh, and I guess Nakiri's actually     a member of the Elite Ten. [04:47] Soma     So that just means that we     have to take four more seats. [04:50] Tad     Uh, Soma-kun, um, what? [04:52] Taku     Yukihira, what are you going on about?! [04:55] Soma     What I'm saying is... [04:56] Soma     If we're able to win those seats, [04:58] Soma     we can overturn everything,     including the expulsions. [05:04] Erina     Wait, you mean... [05:05] Soma     Yep. [05:06] Soma     We just need to take the majority     of the seats on the Elite Ten. [05:10] Soma     Us right here. Through Shokugeki. SIGN    Shoku SIGN    Geki [05:13] Taku     Take the Elite Ten's seats? [05:16] Tado     You mean... I have to defeat     a member of the Elite Ten? [05:20] Tado     N-N-N-No way! I can't do that, Soma-kun! [05:23] Tado     I can't even imagine that! [05:24] Soma     What are you talking about?     You'll be fine, Tadokoro. [05:27] Soma     Let's do our best! [05:28] Taku     Wait, Yukihira. A Shokugeki only     happens if both parties agree. [05:33] Taku     Central would gain nothing by accepting, [05:36] Taku     even if they're confident     that they could beat us. [05:39] Tad     They're actually expecting to win... [05:43] Soma     Anyway, let's go get some advice. [05:50] Soma     So, hey. Could you give me     a seat in the Elite Ten? [05:56] Rind     You always say the craziest things. [05:59] Rind     To think that's what you'd say     when things are like this... [06:01] Rind     Sadly, I'm not going to be able to do that,     no matter how much fun it sounds like. [06:05] Soma     Oh, come on. [06:07] Rind     Nope. Not happening. [06:09] Soma     I'm sure you could do something. [06:10] Rind     Nope. No way. [06:11] Rind     Don't let it get to you     too much, Nakiri-chan. [06:13] Rind     You should probably give up on your buddies. [06:16] Eri     It's true that Yukihira-kun's     proposal is extremely unrealistic. [06:20] Eri     And in that case, I can't worry     about my reputation anymore. [06:24] Eri     If I go to my father directly and ask     him to rescind everyone's expulsions... [06:29] Eri     Wait here, everyone. I'll go     to my father right now— [06:32] Rind     If you're looking for Director Azami,     he's actually here right now. [06:35] Eri     At this location? [06:37] Rind     He's been making rounds to the     various test sites to check up on them. [06:41] Rind     If you want to talk to him,     you should probably hurry. [06:44] Rind     He's about to fly off to     the next testing site. [06:51] Eri     Father! [06:56] Eri     Um, Father! I have a request! [06:59] Aza     What is it, Erina? [07:01] Aza     You're still hanging around     that unsavory crowd? [07:03] Aza     You should stop being so stubborn. [07:06] Aza     After a few days, they will also be expelled. [07:09] Aza     That is, if no one else decides     to take some liberties [07:13] Aza     with the rules of the exams again. [07:15] Aza     Kobayashi, you'll be confined     to your room at the next exam. [07:19] Rind     I mean, even if I don't kick     them out, someone else will. [07:24] Eri     Father, um... Regarding the students that     failed the stage-three exams... [07:29] Eri     Could I ask that you be a little     more merciful toward them? [07:33] Eri     Please, Father! [07:35] Eri     Alice... Hisako...     Please bring everyone back! [07:40] Aza     We're running behind. We should hurry. [07:42] Guy     Yes, Azami-sama. [07:46] (Flashback) All     Let's all become second-years! [07:53] Soma     At this point, Nakiri, [07:55] Soma     we're just going to have to     settle things plate to plate. [07:57] Eri     Yukihira-kun? [07:59] Soma     Nakamura-senpai! [08:01] Soma     You sure like talking as though your     ideas are the only correct ones, [08:05] Soma     but the fact that I'm standing here right now [08:07] Soma     means you haven't been able to     prove that you're correct at all. [08:11] Soma     If you want to get rid of us that badly, [08:13] Soma     why don't you stop with these rigged tests? [08:16] Soma     Let's settle things once and for all. [08:18] Soma     My crew [08:20] Soma     against yours. [08:22] Soma     Why don't we have an all-out battle     for seats in the Elite Ten? [08:31] Aza     That's an absolutely ridiculous idea,     even for you, Yukihira Soma-kun. [08:35] Aza     Here's some advice. If you want to negotiate,      you need to have something to wager. SIGN    Ruffle [08:43] Jo     Hey, come on now, Nakamura. [08:46] Jo     No need to talk to my     precious only son that way. [08:55] Soma     D-Dad?! [08:57] Taku     Saiba Joichiro?! And Senzaemon-dono, too! [09:01] Jo     Hey, Soma. I heard you got your     revenge on Shiomi's apprentice! SIGN    Ruffle [09:05] Jo     Good for you! [09:06] Jo     Stop messin' with my hair! [09:07] Jo     Why do you always randomly     pop up from nowhere?! [09:09] Eri     Saiba-sama... Grandfather... [09:12] Eria     Why are you here? [09:13] Jo     Hey, Erina-chan. [09:15] Jo     You've grown up so much. [09:18] Jo     Sorry to butt in like this, [09:20] Jo     but we need to talk to your dad. [09:24] Jo     Nakamura, I'd say Soma's idea isn't half bad. [09:29] Jo     Why don't we have one of those? [09:31] Aza     What? [09:32] Jo     A team battle. [09:35] Jo     A rare but traditional twist on the     Shokugeki where groups of chefs clash... [09:41] Jo     A Régiment de Cuisine. [09:42] Jo     Basically, a Team Shokugeki. SIGN    Team SIGN    Shokugeki [09:45] eri     Te... SIGN    Team [09:46] tak     ...am... [09:46] soma     Shoku... SIGN    Shokugeki [09:47] tad     ...geki? [09:49] aza     Saiba-senpai, you clearly     don't understand anything. [09:54] Aza     As soon as I took the director's      seat from Senzaemon-dono, SIGN    Totsuki [09:59] Aza     my plan was 90 percent complete. [10:02] Aza     What I'm currently doing is     nothing more than some cleanup. [10:06] Aza     Nothing you could offer would make     it worth accepting your challenge. [10:10] Jo     Are you sure about that? [10:13] Jo     Even if... [10:15] Jo     I offered to become one of your     little soldiers if we lose? [10:18] Aza     What? [10:20] Jo     I'll abandon all my ideas and beliefs [10:23] Jo     and become your servant to help you     with your salvation or whatever. SIGN    Yukihira Diner [10:27] Jo     Of course, that also means I'll     close down Yukihira for good. [10:31] Aza     Are you sure about this? [10:33] Jo     Yeah. [10:34] Aza     Very well! [10:36] Aza     Saiba-senpai, this makes me so happy. [10:39] Aza     Today is a wonderful day, a very good day. [10:42] Taku     Could you not talk as though     you've already won? [10:46] Taku     We're going to win, no matter what! [10:48] Taku     We'll get our friends back, and we won't     let you close down Yukihira Diner. [10:52] Tad     I'm still scared, [10:54] Tad     but I want to save everyone! [10:57] Aza     I look forward to our day of battle. [11:00] Aza     Now, then... [11:01] Aza     We can hash out the details another day. [11:11] Jo     All right, then... [11:12] Jo     Time to get started on     your special training. [11:15] Taku     Training? [11:16] Jo     If we take on the Elite Ten right now,     there's no way we're going to win. [11:20] Tad     I knew it! [11:22] Jo     That's why we're going to conserve     our strength and prepare for battle. [11:25] Jo     Let the training begin. [11:31] Tsu     What? A Team Shokugeki? [11:33] Aza     Yes. It will be held on Rebun Island. [11:36] Tsu     How in the world did any of this come about? [11:39] Aza     A lot has happened. [11:42] Aza     Inform the rest of the Elite Ten     to continue their journey north. [11:46] Aza     We will wipe out the resistance once     and for all at the final exam venue. [11:55] Aza     A just world where no chef will     ever have to wander again... [12:00] Aza     I will save the culinary world and Totsuki. [12:05] Soma     Hey, Dad, are you seriously going     to put Yukihira on the line? [12:09] Jo     Yup. [12:09] Soma     Seriously? First, you shut the place down,     and now you're wagering it on a bet. [12:14] Soma     Could you have some respect for the place? [12:16] Jo     What? Don't tell me... [12:18] Jo     You actually don't think     we're going to win? SIGN    Ruffle [12:19] Jo     Wow, talk about pathetic!     You sure you're my son? [12:23] Soma     Stop messing up my hair! [12:24] Soma     Shut up! We're gonna win! [12:25] Soma     Of course we're gonna win! [12:27] Jo     Sorry, this was the only leverage we had. [12:32] Gin     I should also probably apologize     for all of this as well. [12:36] Soma     Dojima-senpai... [12:37] Gin     I was actually the one who arranged for     Joichiro and Senzaemon-dono to be there today. [12:42] Gin     We've been working in secret for some     time now to come up with a strategy. [12:45] Gin     Because we knew that if Joichiro was involved,      Azami would accept the challenge. [12:51] Gin     I can't blame you if you     think we've been using you. [12:54] Gin     I sincerely apologize. [12:56] Taku     There's no need to apologize. [12:59] Taku     On the contrary, if you or     Saiba-san hadn't intervened, [13:03] Taku     we wouldn't have been able to     get this Shokugeki at all. [13:07] Taku     We should actually be grateful. [13:09] Taku     Just watch. This will be our battle. [13:12] Taku     We won't let the Azami     Administration have their way! [13:14] Tado     I'll do my best, too! SIGN    Man [13:18] Tado     I need to start doing this now, or I     won't be able to deal with the pressure! [13:21] Taku     I think it might be a little     early to start doing that. [13:22] Tado     Man... Man... Man... [13:23] Soma     Oh, yeah. I guess you can     have your Mezzaluna back. [13:26] Taku     Hey, wait a sec, Yukihira! [13:28] Taku     I'm going to get that back by beating you! [13:28] Gin     Senzaemon-dono, they are indeed reliable. [13:30] Soma     But it's sort of in the way. [13:31] Tado     Soma-kun! [13:31] Gin     The Generation of Prodigies... [13:32] Taku     You better be taking proper care of it. [13:33] Gin     They are worthy enough to     entrust with Totsuki's future. [13:34] Soma     But, no, really, it's in the way. [13:36] Taku     Don't say that! [13:38] Gin     By the way, do you all know     about Team Shokugekis? [13:42] Soma     What about you two? [13:46] Tad     Um... I can't say I do. [13:48] Taku     I've heard the general rules before. [13:50] Taku     As Joichiro-san mentioned earlier,      it's a Shokugeki that's team versus team. [13:55] Taku     Members from each team randomly     face off against each other. [13:59] Taku     Then the victors from each team will     continue facing off with each other. [14:04] Taku     They'll repeat that until one team still     has victors and they win the match. [14:07] Taku     Correct, Chef Dojima? [14:09] Gin     Precisely. But Team Shokugeki battles [14:13] Gin     have elements that are clearly     different from standard Shokugeki. [14:16] Gin     And that's the fact that teamwork     will make or break this competition. [14:20] Tado     Teamwork? [14:21] Taku     But when they face off,     it's one-on-one, right? [14:25] Jo     In Team Shokugeki, you can help     your teammates with their dishes. [14:30] Gin     Indeed. While you're facing     off with your opponent, [14:34] Gin     you can help your teammates     if they need assistance, [14:36] Gin     which results in creating a better team. [14:39] Jo     Which basically means that you're all chefs, [14:42] Jo     but also your teammates' support staff. [14:45] Gin     So even if you don't stand a chance alone,     if you and your team work well together, [14:50] Gin     your chances of beating      the Elite Ten are not zero. [14:54] Gin     But for that to happen, [14:55] Gin     you need to strengthen your teamwork     so it surpasses your opponents'. [15:00] Gin     Which means that tomorrow, you'll be      having a two-on-two mock battle. [15:04] All     Mock battle? [15:05] Gin     First, let's evaluate all of your     individual strengths, and then— [15:08] Jo     All right, we're gonna draw straws. [15:10] Gin     Hey! [15:10] Gin     That's too random! [15:12] Jo     Oh, who cares? [15:13] Jo     So, what should the punishment     be for the losing team? [15:16] Gin     No. This isn't about winning or losing.      It's just a simulation— [15:20] Jo     I know! Why don't we have the loser eat     this gross new dish I just came up with? [15:24] Megu     What?! [15:24] Taku     Gross dish? [15:25] Soma     Ooh, a new one? [15:26] Gin     I'm starting to remember things... [15:27] Jo     This one's extra cringe worthy! [15:29] Gin     That reminds me! After all that time you     were missing, you finally called me, [15:32] Gin     but just said whatever you wanted     to say and then hung up on me! [15:35] Jo     What? Did I? [15:37] Gin     And you call yourself an adult?! [15:39] Soma     The adults are fighting. [15:39] Gin     Proper adults would... [15:39] Taku     But Chef Dojima is always so calm... [15:41] Jo     Oh, shut up, Gin. If you have something     to say, say it with your dish. [15:46] Gin     Bring it on! I'll set you straight! [15:54] Gramps     Erina... [15:56] Gramps     I was worried, since you immediately     went back to your cabin. [15:59] Eri     Grandfather... [16:02] Eri     I just didn't know how to react. [16:04] Eri     I want to save everyone. I truly believe     that from the bottom of my heart. [16:08] Eri     But in order for that to happen,     we need to defeat the Elite Ten [16:11] Eri     and my father directly. [16:14] Eri     Defy my father? Challenge my father? [16:17] Eri     Really? [16:20] Eri     Just the thought sends shivers     of dread down my spine. SIGN    Roughly Six Months Ago [16:26] (Flashback) Old     So you've come, Joichiro. [16:28] (Flashback) Jo     Yup. How're you doing, old man? [16:30] (Flashback) Old     I heard that you stopped by     the Polar Star Dormitory. [16:32] (Flashback) Old     Were you able to talk with your son? [16:34] (Flashback) Jo     Yeah. [16:36] (Flashback) Old     Yukihira Soma, eh... [16:38] (Flashback) Old     I'm looking forward to what     he might do in the future. [16:41] (Flashback) Jo     Must be nice. I had no intention of having     Soma enroll in Totsuki to begin with. [16:46] (Flashback) Jo     I only did because you were so pushy. [16:48] (Flashback) Old     So... [16:49] (Flashback) Old     What brings you back to Japan? [16:53] (Flashback) Jo     Azami's been making some ominous movements. [16:55] (Flashback) Old     Are you sure? [16:56] (Flashback) Jo     It's trustworthy information. [16:59] (Flashback) Jo     In these past few years, he's suddenly     been developing some connections in Asia. [17:03] (Flashback) Jo     It's easy to speculate that he'll     probably try to contact Totsuki [17:07] (Flashback) Jo     in some way fairly soon. [17:10] (Flashback) Old     Erina still has fear of that     man deep within her heart. [17:14] (Flashback) Old     He'll probably try to take advantage     of that and seize control of her. [17:18] (Flashback) Old     I'd like to come up with some kind of plan. [17:20] (Flashback) Jo     No matter what we do, it won't     be a fundamental solution. [17:25] (Flashback) Jo     The only ones who can truly     save your granddaughter [17:29] (Flashback) Jo     will probably be classmates whom     she can fight alongside. [17:33] (Flashback) Jo     Soma's generation. [17:37] Jo     Hey, Erina-chan! [17:39] ---     Saiba-sama! [17:41] Jo     There's a few minor details     we need to discuss. [17:42] Gin     Nakiri-kun! We will commence      training tonight! Actually, right now! [17:46] Eri     What? Now?! [17:47] Gin     We will conduct a     three-on-three mock battle! [17:49] Jo     Come on, we don't need to be so serious. [17:52] Jo     Let's just take this lightly. [17:53] Gin     Joichiro! [17:54] Gin     How dare you?! [17:55] Gin     Do you have any idea how many times that     flippant attitude of yours caused me grief?! [17:59] Jo     Yeah, and that's why I said I'll take you     up on a challenge as part of the training. [18:03] Tado     Sorry about this, Nakiri-san. [18:05] Tado     But let's do our best together. [18:07] Tado     We want to save Arato-san     and the others, too. [18:09] Eri     R-Right... [18:11] Eri     Yes. We must save everyone. [18:13] Eri     And to think I haven't even strengthened     my resolve to face my father yet. [18:20] Gramps     All right, fine. [18:22] Gramps     I shall mediate this competition. [18:26] Gramps     The teams will be split as follows: [18:28] Gramps     Tadokoro Megumi, Takumi Aldini,      and Dojima Gin. [18:32] Gramps     They will be Team Dojima. SIGN    Dojima [18:35] Gramps     Yukihira Soma, Nakiri Erina,     and Saiba Joichiro. [18:39] gramp     They will be Team Saiba. SIGN    Saiba [18:40] Gramps     The team leaders will be Gin and Joichiro. [18:45] Gramps     The other two on each team will     support the preparations. [18:48] Gin     You better not think of me as     a student still, Joichiro. [18:51] Jo     Well, aren't you confident. [18:54] Tado     Nakiri-san and Soma-kun     are on the other side. [18:56] Tado     I need to make sure I don't hold     Chef Dojima and Takumi-kun back! [18:59] Eri     I'm on the same team as Saiba-sama,     whom I've admired for so long... [19:03] Eri     I have to do everything I can to assist him. [19:05] Gramps     Thank you for letting us use     your kitchen, Conductor. [19:08] Gramps     The dish both of your teams will     be making is hachis Parmentier, [19:13] Gramps     a national dish from France. [19:16] Gramps     You will have fifty minutes. [19:19] Soma     Hachis Parmentier? I heard of     that back at Master Shinomiya's. [19:23] Soma     It's a dish made with meat sauce, cheese,     and pomme purée—basically mashed potatoes— [19:29] Soma     baked in an oven. [19:30] Tad     A dish where various steps of the     preparation are very time consuming... [19:33] Tad     Even with three of us, we can     barely make it in fifty minutes. SIGN    50 Minutes [19:36] Taku     If the chef doesn't split up the     duties efficiently, we won't make it in time. [19:40] Gramps     As for the rules, you may not say a single     word to each other while cooking. [19:45] Gramps     And begin! [19:55] Tad     What should I do?! This is the     same as being blindfolded! [20:04] Tad     Takumi-kun, how did you know what     Chef Dojima was thinking just now? [20:09] Tad     I see. There's actually nothing different [20:11] Tad     in this mock battle from any     other time we've cooked. [20:14] Tad     Think of all of the techniques     in my head and invert them... [20:18] Tad     Watch what the chef is doing carefully... [20:21] Tad     Just like all the times     I've supported Soma-kun, [20:24] Tad     think about what's going to happen next... [20:26] Tad     and move! [20:35] Gramps     Looks like they've cleared the first hurdle. SIGN    Ruffle [20:40] Jo     I can't hold back anymore! [20:41] Jo     Soma! You need to match your     movements more with mine! [20:44] Soma     That's my line! Quit doing steps completely     out of order from the basic recipe! [20:48] Jo     Shut up! You're supposed to be my support! [20:50] Jo     Figure it out! [20:51] Soma     You can't be serious!      And stop messing up my hair! [20:53] Tad     They're talking... [20:55] Gramps     I won't hesitate to disqualify you. [20:57] Erina     Hey! [20:58] Both     Sorry about that. [21:00] Jo     But you know, we had our utensils     down and we weren't cooking, [21:03] Jo     so we should be safe, right?! [21:05] Gramps     I won't accept excuses like that. [21:06] Gramps     Listen carefully. You won't      get another chance. [21:08] Gramps     Otherwise, this wouldn't count as training. [21:11] Eri     Hey, Yukihira-kun! [21:13] Eri     We don't have time to     argue with each other! [21:16] Eri     Saiba-sama is the leader, so we should     be doing everything we can to support— [21:21] Soma     Ooh, now Nakiri's talking. I'm gonna tell! [21:24] Erina     As if this didn't concern you! [21:26] Gramps     Ahem... [21:30] Erina     "But seriously, why is my dad making     whatever he wants to right now?" [21:36] Soma     "That's been concerning me, too." [21:39] Erina     The star of hachis Parmentier     is the meat sauce. [21:44] Erina     After frying the meat and herbs, [21:47] Erina     you add in red wine and bullion     for vivid richness and flavor. [21:50] Erina     It's the step that takes the longest. [21:53] Erina     And yet Saiba-sama had started     with the other steps. [21:57] Erina     Why isn't he following the     basic steps like Chef Dojima? [22:03] Tad     Anchovies? [22:04] Taku     And basil? Those aren't     ingredients used in this dish. [22:09] Eri     And that plate... [22:10] Eri     In France, hachis Parmentier is     usually served in a gratin dish. [22:15] Eri     But since he's going to be     serving it on a normal plate... [22:19] Eri     What Chef Dojima is trying to make right now [22:21] Eri     is what would be served in restaurants... [22:23] Eri     A true gourmand's original     hachis Parmentier. [22:26] Eri     Saiba-sama and Chef Dojima [22:29] Eri     are both testing us.
