[01:33] Girl
All right, the second bout
is really heating up now!
[01:37] Girl
Preparations seem to be
going well in each bout!
[01:41] Rindo
Hell yeah!
[01:44] Megu
Wow... Megishima-senpai and the
others seem to be going at full power.
[01:50] Eizan
Power, eh? There are more
clever ways of handling this.
[01:54] Momo
And who lost to the first-years again?
[01:57] Eizan
I'm different now.
[01:59] Eizan
I'm going to crush Yukihira,
no matter what it takes!
[02:02] Guy
How's Mimasaka doing?
[02:04] Guy
It seems like he's planning
something, but I'm not sure.
[02:08] Buns
I wonder if he's going to use his
Perfect Trace, like usual.
[02:11] Buns
Whoa! You startled me!
[02:13] Buns
What's up, Ibusaki?
[02:14] Shun
I was just thinking that Kuga-senpai
[02:16] Shun
doesn't look like he's even
going to use the green tea.
[02:19] Glasses
True.
[02:20] Pink
On the other hand, Tsukasa-senpai
[02:23] Pink
has four varieties of tea leaves!
[02:25] Niku
Is he going to use all of them in his dish?
[02:27] Sec
The definition of green tea is rather broad,
[02:30] Sec
and there are various ways to use it.
[02:32] Glasses
Green tea refers to unfermented tea
leaves that are dried immediately
[02:36] Glasses
after being picked, which prevents
enzyme activity from oxidizing them.
[02:40] Glasses
There are different varieties, like
sencha, gyokuro, hojicha, and kabusecha,
SIGN Sencha
SIGN Gyokuro
SIGN Hojicha
SIGN Kabusecha
[02:45] Glasses
each with their own flavors and aromas.
[02:47] Soma
There's definitely a reason
he's the first seat.
[02:49] Soma
He knows what he's doing
with the ingredients.
[02:54] Tsuka
Now... Come to me.
[02:56] Tsuka
Yes... There's no need to be frightened.
[03:00] Tsuka
Come to me.
[03:02] Tsuka
You steep sencha in boiling
water for 30 seconds.
[03:04] Tsuka
That delicately brings out the catechin,
the source of its bitter flavor.
[03:08] Tsuka
Genmaicha lacks in both
umami and bitterness.
[03:11] Tsuka
You steep it at 90 degrees
Celsius for 30 seconds
[03:13] Tsuka
to bring out its aroma to the fullest.
[03:16] Tsuka
Fukamushi sencha steeps so easily
that you only need to give it
[03:18] Tsuka
less than a minute at 80 degrees Celsius.
[03:21] Tsuka
And gyokuro is steeped at
60 degrees Celsius for two minutes.
[03:24] Tsuka
The lower temperature ensures that the
umami components seep slowly into the water.
[03:27] Sec
He's using a Nambu ironware
teakettle to boil the water.
[03:30] Sec
It removes the sharp tang of the hot water,
giving it a milder, softer flavor.
[03:33] Azami
Magnificent.
[03:35] Azami
Truly skilled chefs are able to control
the ingredients with a whim.
[03:39] Azami
But Tsukasa Eishi has the utmost respect for
[03:43] Azami
the sovereign known as the ingredient.
[03:46] Azami
He is the sword in their hand.
[03:52] Soma
The heck is that?
[03:53] Taku
It's a utensil known as a grater,
but I've never seen one that long.
[03:58] Megu
It's almost like a knight's sword...
[04:01] Megu
Der weiß Ritter der Tafel.
SIGN The White Knight
of the Table
[04:09] Kuro
He took care of all the ingredients at once.
[04:10] Haya
That's a dynamic way to use it.
[04:12] Megu
His handling of the green
tea goes beyond perfection.
[04:16] Megu
But that's not all.
[04:18] Megu
How are we even supposed
to compete with that?
[04:21] Tsuka
It looks like you've just been
concentrating on that wok this entire time.
[04:25] Tsuka
You doing okay, Kuga?
[04:28] Tsuka
Being trapped in your own field
may be a bad habit of yours.
[04:32] Tsuka
Obsessing over one thing may keep you from
[04:34] Tsuka
reaching greater heights
when it comes to flavor.
[04:37] Tsuka
It's not that I don't
acknowledge your passion.
[04:40] Tsuka
But I have to say,
[04:41] Tsuka
I don't think you'll ever be able
to defeat me if you don't change.
SIGN Team Shokugeki
[04:45] Mima
I don't know about that.
[04:55] Mima
We're allowed to help our other
teammates with their preparations.
[04:59] Mima
That's one of the rules in
a Team Shokugeki, isn't it?
[05:02] Kuga
Good work, Mimasaka-chin.
[05:04] Niku
Kuga-senpai finally brought
out the tea leaves.
[05:06] Megu
He must've been waiting for
Mimasaka-kun to finish that!
[05:10] Taku
Mimasaka was using his Trace
[05:12] Taku
on Kuga-senpai, even though he's our ally.
[05:14] Pink
That's why he was able to support
him at the perfect time!
[05:18] Buns
Go, Perfect Tracer Mimasaka Subaru!
SIGN Kuga
[05:22] Mima
Heyo, heyo, heyo!
[05:23] Mima
Today's the day I'm finally gonna
show that Tsukasa who's boss.
[05:28] Kuga
Yeah, please don't.
SIGN Super
SIGN Serious
[05:32] Kuga
But good work, Mimasaka-chin!
[05:34] Kuga
Kuga Terunori's just starting to cook!
[05:38] Guy
What the heck is that?
[05:39] Guy
Aluminum foil and a grilling net in a wok?
[05:43] Shun
That's an impromptu smoker.
[05:45] Both
A smoker?
[05:46] Shun
Yeah. Kuga-senpai's goal was to smoke
the meat using the tea leaves.
[05:51] Anne
Magnificent!
[05:54] Anne
Up until now,
[05:55] Anne
he was thoroughly frying the sides of
the roast pork shoulder pieces in his wok.
[06:00] Shades
The fact that he's smoking the pork
[06:02] Shades
rather than stewing it after
he fried it is truly interesting!
[06:06] Blonde
By smoking the meat,
he's able to directly apply
[06:09] Blonde
the green tea leaves' aroma to it.
[06:11] Blonde
He's using a different approach
to green tea than Tsukasa Eishi.
[06:15] Soma
Oho... I never knew you
could do that with a wok.
[06:20] Soma
Maybe I'll try it next time.
[06:21] Soma
Oh, so what'd he do with that black liquid?
[06:25] Kuga
I'm just about to use it,
actually, Yukihira-chin.
[06:29] Kuga
While the meat's smoking, I'm going to
go right into my expert sauce-making.
[06:33] Kuga
I reduced some balsamic vinegar until
its flavor and aroma were condensed.
[06:36] Kuga
Then I added black vinegar,
sugar, and powdered green tea.
[06:39] Kuga
And to top things off, I'm going
to add this smoked soy sauce!
[06:43] Buns
Smoked soy sauce?
[06:45] Shun
Yeah, that's what that liquid is.
[06:47] Shun
Mimasaka was smoking that this whole time.
[06:51] Shun
Smoking soy sauce
[06:52] Shun
makes the aroma stand out more and
gives it a more complex taste.
[06:58] Haya
That smells truly amazing.
[06:59] Haya
Adding the smokiness not only
to the meat, but also to the sauce,
[07:03] Haya
increases the dish's harmony.
[07:05] Shades
This is definitely a fresh idea.
[07:07] Shades
Excellent teamwork.
[07:11] Soma
So basically, it feels like Tsukasa-senpai
[07:13] Soma
is having to fight two chefs right now.
[07:17] Eizan
Hey, Kuga.
[07:19] Eizan
Didn't you want to face Tsukasa-san one-on-one?
[07:23] Kuga
Shut up.
[07:25] Kuga
Despite how I look, I'm an adult!
[07:28] Kuga
I won't let my silly pride get in the way.
[07:31] Kuga
My job right now is to make sure I
completely defeat you, Tsukassan.
[07:38] Tsuka
I see. So you have the resolve to win,
even if you have to abandon your pride.
[07:41] Tsuka
You definitely do seem a bit different, Kuga.
[07:45] Kuga
I'm going to end your undefeated streak here.
[07:54] Blonde
But is Mimasaka Subaru keeping
up with his own preparations?
[07:58] Blonde
He doesn't have enough time or
concentration to keep supporting others.
[08:02] Anne
You definitely have a point.
[08:05] Anne
He's facing a considerable opponent himself.
[08:08] Anne
The current fourth seat of the Elite Ten,
[08:10] Anne
and the greatest sushi chef of
this generation, Saito Somei.
[08:16] All
S-S-S-Sushi chef?!
[08:18] Megu
Mimasaka-kun managed to pull a
tuna card against a sushi chef?!
SIGN Tuna
[08:23] Buns
He's the king of bad luck! Mimasaka
somehow has worse luck than Yukihira!
[08:28] Soma
Hey, I'm not unlucky.
[08:31] Soma
Besides, look.
[08:33] Soma
Mimasaka looks like he has
something up his sleeve.
[08:37] Somei
You are truly an unlucky man.
[08:41] Somei
But mercy would be unrefined.
[08:43] Somei
When I stand before a cutting board,
I will do my utmost best!
[08:51] Kuro
He filleted that huge tuna in an instant.
[08:57] Alice
Power and technique.
[08:59] Alice
So this is the strength of
the Elite Ten's top seats.
[09:12] Taku
Mimasaka's almost done with the filleting, too.
[09:16] ---
Flash!
[09:24] Guy
What the heck's going on?!
[09:25] Guy
He's perfectly copying that
other dish with no time lag!
SIGN Perfect Trace Flash
[09:31] Mima
Perfect Trace Flash!
[09:34] Mima
With the speed of a camera's flash,
[09:36] Mima
I instantaneously perceive and analyze
my opponent's actions and intent,
[09:39] Mima
and have my body mimic the exact same steps.
[09:44] Shades
I see. That way, he can reduce
the amount of thinking time
[09:47] Shades
needed to prepare his dish to zero.
[09:49] Blonde
He used all the time his opponent
needed to think about his dish
[09:53] Blonde
to support Kuga Terunori
by making his smoked soy sauce.
[09:58] Niku
Talk about a flash!
[10:00] Pink
This is nothing like
Mimasaka-kun's usual Trace!
[10:03] Buns
When did he manage to raise the bar
this high on his copying technique?!
[10:06] Megu
Amazing!
[10:07] Taku
Good grief. Talk about promising.
[10:10] Soma
I knew you'd come through, Mimasaka!
[10:13] Erina
Now, show them...
[10:15] Erina
Show them how powerfully well
the rebels work together!
[10:21] Somei
Min name is Saito Somei.
I walk down the culinary path.
[10:26] Somei
The way one learns the
sword is through mimicry.
[10:29] Somei
You have excellent skill.
[10:33] Somei
But though I practice bushido,
even I would never use "min."
SIGN Min
[10:37] Rin
Uh, yeah, you do.
[10:39] Tsuka
You sure do.
[10:40] Momo
Yup.
[10:41] Eizan
Yeah, you do.
[10:41] Megi
You do.
[10:43] Somei
Not you, too!
[10:45] Somei
Very well, but a moment, please.
[10:51] Kuro
He filleted the rest of it.
[10:57] Somei
Use it.
[10:58] Somei
Your knife is not up to par.
[11:01] Somei
You are going to chip your blade.
[11:02] Somei
If you do not use my beloved blade Isanagiri,
you go against my bushido.
[11:08] All
Bushido?!
[11:10] Rindo
There he goes again!
[11:11] Megi
Saito's annoying habit has kicked in.
[11:15] Soma
Habit?
[11:16] Megi
He has bushido on the brain to the point
where he'll force it into anything.
SIGN Bushido
[11:20] Soma
Bushido on the brain?
[11:21] Mima
I thank you.
[11:23] Mima
Now min Trace is even closer to perfection!
[11:32] Somei
Now that we are both done with
filleting, the real battle begins.
[11:37] Somei
Follow me!
[11:38] Mima
Of course!
[11:39] Mima
Flash!
[11:40] Mima
I'll soak the akami in a marinade
of mirin, soy sauce, and red wine.
[11:45] Mima
Flash!
[11:47] Mima
I sear just one side of the tuna cheeks
in butter to enhance their aroma!
[11:51] Pink
Wait, he's preparing each part of the
fish in completely different ways?
[11:55] Niku
What kind of sushi is he trying to make?
[11:57] Mima
Flash!
[12:00] Shun
That's...
[12:00] Buns
Straw? Why straw, though?
[12:03] Niku
That's...
[12:03] Sec
A shichirin!
[12:04] Niku
They lit it up and started
grilling the meat!
[12:07] Taku
Just like Kuga-senpai, Mimasaka is
doing whatever he needs to do to win.
[12:20] Mima
To think that doing image training
[12:22] Mima
to copy all of them would
wear me out this much.
[12:25] Mima
But...
[12:26] (Flashback) Taku
I won't lose next time!
[12:28] (Flashback) Soma
That's what it means to be a chef.
[12:30] Mima
Takumi Aldini and Yukihira Soma...
[12:35] Mima
The only reason I'm still able to stand
in the kitchen is thanks to you two.
[12:40] Mima
And in order to pay you back...
[12:43] (Flashback) Mima
Min name is Saito Somei.
[12:46] (Flashback) Mima
To know rightness without
doing it makes you a coward.
[12:48] (Flashback) Mima
Hey, hey!
[12:49] (Flashback) Mima
I'm Rindo-senpai! Did you
hear me? I'm Rindo-senpai!
[12:53] (Flashback) Mima
I offer my all to gourmet.
That's Tsukasa Eishi's cuisine.
[12:58] (Flashback) Mima
I'm going to crush you, Yukihira.
[13:01] (Flashback) Mima
Hey, Bucchi, let's have a chat.
[13:04] (Flashback) Mima
Bucchi's such a cute meow-meow.
[13:07] (Flashback) Mima
Die.
[13:08] (Flashback) Mima
D-Don't get the wrong idea.
[13:10] (Flashback) Mima
It's not like I did this for you.
[13:13] (Flashback) Mima
Wh-Who are you calling cute? Dummy!
[13:16] Mima
Deeper... Trace them even deeper!
[13:19] Mima
More and more...
[13:23] Mima
And now for the arrangement!
[13:30] Somei
I apologize for keeping you waiting.
[13:31] Megu
They prepared everything
the same exact way,
[13:34] Megu
but Saito-senpai finished first?
[13:37] Taku
It's so unbelievably beautiful.
[13:39] Taku
There are so many intensely
different shades
[13:41] Taku
of red sparkling radiantly on the plate.
[13:43] Niku
So pretty...
[13:44] Alice
Those are even smaller than the temari
sushi I made at the Autumn Elections.
[13:48] Buns
So cute!
[13:50] Somei
Ten Bite-size Maguro-sushi Rubies!
[13:53] Somei
Now, please enjoy.
[13:56] Blonde
So this is the maguro sushi prepared
by Totsuki's best sushi chef.
[14:01] Anne
They say in Kyoto, they have tiny
sushi that the maiko can eat
[14:05] Anne
without smearing their makeup.
[14:08] Shade
A dish that truly seems to
encapsulate the beauty of Japan.
[14:12] Momo
"Maguro" starts with "ma," so it's cute.
[14:15] Eizan
Maybe.
[14:16] Mima
I also apologize for keeping you waiting.
[14:19] Buns
A perfect trace!
[14:21] Guy
They're the same! Their sushi
looks exactly the same!
[14:24] Guy
No, wait! There's just one
that's totally different!
[14:28] Guy
You're right!
[14:29] Guy
There's a gunkanmaki that
Saito-senpai didn't have!
[14:33] Taku
So that's the arrangement Mimasaka
decided to go into battle with.
[14:36] Taku
That's where their tastes differ.
[14:38] Girl
Shut your mouths!
[14:41] Girl
Like he stands a chance against Saito-senpai!
[14:45] Girl
The skills of a true sushi chef are empyreal!
[14:49] Girl
A day isn't even enough to set
foot on the treacherous path
[14:51] Girl
they have to walk to become one!
[14:53] Girl
There's no way a copycat bastard
could actually make good sushi!
[14:58] Mima
Then try one.
[15:02] Mima
Eat up.
[15:07] Girl
Bring it on!
[15:16] Girl
Ec-sta-sy!
[15:19] Girl
Wait, what?
[15:26] Girl
That bastard has perfectly brought out
the full flavor of each part of the tuna!
[15:31] Girl
And this rice... It's not
just normal sushi rice!
[15:34] Mima
Correct. I used red vinegar.
[15:37] [SONG] Sign
Red Vinegar
[15:38] Mima
Red vinegar is made from sake lees that
have been aged for a long period of time.
[15:42] Mima
It's a high-end vinegar that
takes five to six years to make.
[15:45] Mima
Isn't that right, Senpai?
[15:47] Somei
Indeed.
[15:48] Sec
Because it has low sugar
content and a mellow flavor,
[15:52] Sec
the rice becomes fluffier and softer.
[15:55] Haya
But that also makes it harder to strengthen
the harmony of flavors between
[15:59] Haya
the rice and the topping,
so it requires extra care.
[16:01] Kuro
Mimasaka was actually able
to copy him that far?
[16:05] Girl
Damn it!
[16:07] Girl
The flavor is sadly on par with the
skills of the top members of the Elite Ten!
[16:13] Girl
His passion that sparkles like a ruby
[16:15] Girl
in the middle of craftsmanship
that's as careful as a snake...
[16:19] Girl
My body is so hot! I feel
like I'm going to burn up!
[16:22] Girl
All this time, I'd managed
to avoid doing reactions...
[16:27] Girl
No! No! I can't!
[16:32] Girl
I might never be able to get married now...
[16:38] Blonde
I think that's enough of a
detour, Miss Cute Little MC.
[16:43] Anne
Sushi is best when it's freshly prepared.
[16:46] Anne
I'll just...
[16:48] Rindo
Hold up a sec!
[16:49] Rindo
Rindo-senpai's comin' through!
[16:55] Rindo
I'd prefer if you'd eat my dish
before it gets cold, too.
[16:59] Guy
What the?
[17:00] Guy
The meat is buried in cayenne peppers!
[17:02] Rindo
I call it Laziji Caiman.
SIGN Laziji Caiman
[17:07] Megi
I'm finished, too.
[17:08] Megi
Here's my African Ramen!
SIGN African Ramen
[17:10] Pink
Megishima-senpai's ramen isn't that red.
[17:13] Glasses
Where'd all the peppers go?
[17:15] Anne
Then let's just have both
sets of dishes at once!
[17:19] Buns
A-All at once?
[17:21] Guy
The flavors will get all jumbled together.
[17:23] Guy
Is that even possible?
[17:24] Shades
Of course it is!
SIGN Anne
SIGN Histoire
SIGN Charme
[17:26] Blonde
We are the guardians of gourmet,
the Bookmen of the WGO.
[17:31] Girl
Let the deliberations begin!
[17:36] Charme
I will begin with this beautiful sushi.
[17:40] Histoire
This red paste must be the cayenne pepper.
[17:49] Both
The energy from the ingredients is
hitting our mouths like a barrage!
[17:59] Both
We'll gladly take every hit!
SIGN We'll gladly take every hit
[18:02] Guy
There it is!
[18:03] Guy
A full-body reaction!
[18:07] Blonde
Both chefs' sushi is unparalleled!
[18:09] Blonde
The most dangerous piece is the
straw-grilled noten sushi!
[18:15] Alice
Noten?
[18:16] Kuro
The cut of meat from the
top of the tuna's head,
[18:19] Kuro
and also one of the priciest
cuts. The tsunotoro.
[18:22] Hayama
Because it was grilled with straw,
all of the fishiness is burnt away,
[18:25] Haya
leaving only pure savory flavor behind.
[18:28] Glasses
The trace is complete!
[18:30] Shun
So the battle's going to
come down to that gunkan.
[18:33] Blonde
There's meringue on top of this negitoro.
[18:36] Blonde
The fragrant aroma of the
fermented soy sauce...
[18:38] Blonde
He supported his teammate and used
it for his own arrangement...
[18:41] Blonde
So he calculated both.
[18:43] Une
The mellow aroma of the smoked soy sauce...
[18:46] Une
It brings out the contrast in texture
[18:48] Une
between the meringue and
the negitoro even more!
[18:50] Une
This is definitely the Ultimate
Negitoro Eggs-Over-Rice Gunkan Sushi!
[18:55] Buns
What about Megishima-senpai's ramen?
[18:58] Megi
That's harissa.
[19:00] Megi
A seasoning blend that's said to have
originated in northern Africa.
[19:03] Megi
The ingredients include paprika,
caraway seeds,
[19:06] Megi
lemon juice, garlic, and
a lot of cayenne pepper.
[19:10] Megi
Then they're all mashed together into a paste.
[19:13] Soma
Harissa's the paste that my
dad made back at the dorm.
[19:17] Soma
I guess he did mention something about Africa.
[19:19] Megi
The ramen's broth is based on chicken muamba,
[19:22] Megi
an African stew of chicken,
nuts, and tomatoes.
[19:27] Megi
It's the perfect detonator to amplify
the spiciness of the super-spicy harissa.
[19:32] shades
Extra-thick cuts of char siu pork rubbed with
homemade peanut butter before simmering...
[19:36] shades
The noodles soak up the broth and
the spiciness from the harissa.
[19:39] shades
I can't stop eating it!
[19:42] Une
Its deliciousness is making
my body cry out from the heat!
[19:46] Une
Ecstasy...
[19:48] Pink
The African Ramen is a hit, too!
[19:51] Buns
Heck yeah! You've got this!
[19:54] Buns
We're gonna take down the top seats
of the Elite Ten all at once!
SIGN 2nd Match
Kobayashi Rindo vs. Megishima Tosuke
3rd Match
Saito Somei vs. Mimasaka Subaru
[20:00] Une
These are the results for
the 2nd and 3rd bouts.
[20:05] Girl
How do you like that, rebel scum?
[20:07] Girl
You don't stand a chance
against the Elite Ten!
[20:13] Mima
Why?! The arrangement on that
gunkan should've been perfect!
[20:17] Blonde
The gunkanmaki wasn't the deciding factor.
[20:20] Blonde
It was the invisible cuts.
[20:21] Mima
I traced the invisible cuts
and included them myself!
[20:26] Mima
By adding cuts to the meat, the tuna
immediately melts in your mouth,
[20:29] Mima
spreading the flavor throughout.
[20:33] Somei
Yes. Your tracing was splendid.
[20:37] Somei
But what we made were miniature
ruby beads of bite-size sushi.
[20:41] Somei
So you figured it out.
[20:43] Somei
You added a few too many invisible cuts.
[20:47] Somei
If you add in the same amount of
cuts as you would for normal sushi,
[20:50] Somei
the tuna will melt too quickly.
[20:53] Somei
In order for the flavor to linger long enough,
[20:55] Somei
it's necessary to use fewer invisible cuts.
[20:59] Somei
It appears as though you weren't
able to trace that minor detail.
[21:04] Somei
There is no need to blame yourself. This is
just the difference in our experience.
[21:09] Megu
B-But what about
Megishima-senpai's ramen?
[21:13] Megu
There was nothing but compliments!
[21:15] Shades
The African Ramen was indeed magnificent.
[21:18] Shades
But Kobayashi Rindo's dish surpassed that.
[21:22] Une
By using the Laziji method,
[21:24] Une
she was able to push the
[21:26] Une
mild alligator meat into a
fragrant and rich realm of flavor.
[21:39] Rindo
My bad, Megishima!
[21:40] Rindo
Looks like I win this round.
[21:44] Megi
This is a competition.
[21:46] Megi
I have no regrets.
[21:47] Soma
Don't worry. We still have...
[21:50] Kuga
That's right!
[21:52] Kuga
Could you not end things
before they've even begun?
[21:55] Kuga
I, Kuga Terunori, still have my dish!
