    Here you go!
[00:11] Guys
    Hey, look at this!
[00:13] Guys
    Is Yukihira Soma for real?
[00:16] Mitsuru
    Yukihira-senpai, I put you
    right where you asked.
[00:20] Mitsuru
    I had the article about your booth set
SIGN    Totsuki Academy High School Division 1st Year, Yukihira Soma
[00:23] Mitsuru
    right on the next page after
    the Chinese Cuisine RS!
[00:26] Yuki
    He's setting up right in
    front of the Chinese Cuisine RS?!
[00:28] Yuki
    And he's going to serve Chinese food?!
[00:31] Ryoko
    And he had to get his booth listed
    right next to their page, too.
[00:34] I
    It doesn't surprise me one bit.
[00:36] Hayama
    I figured he'd start something
    up to stir the pot,
[00:39] Hayama
    but I didn't expect him to
    take them on head-on like this.
[00:43] Takumi
    Yukihira, damn you!
[00:46] Takumi
    You always fire me up!
[00:49] Isami
    Bro, you're crushing the guidebook!
[00:51] Takumi
    Oh, sorry.
[00:52] Alice
    This isn't fair!
[00:54] Alice
    Why does Yukihira-kun get all the attention?!
[00:56] Kuga
    Wow, Yukihira-chin!
[00:58] Kuga
    You look so chill, but you're so extreme.
[01:01] Kuga
    I hope you won't come to regret it.

[02:40] S
    When Nakiri said that,
    I did get kind of spooked,
[02:44] S
    but thinking about it, how can
    I end up with zero profit?
SIGN    "Ma" and "La"
[02:47] S
    I mean, it's a huge five-day festival
    that'll have 500,000 people coming.
[02:51] Konishi
    Well, sure.
[02:53] Ikumi
    Unless you decide to set up shop
    right in front of a powerful competitor!
[03:01] S
    Well, I'm sure it'll all work out.
[03:03] Ikumi
    That doesn't sound convincing at all!
[03:05] Ikumi
    I know how disorganized you are!

    Excuse me...

    Huh?

    Ikumi-senpai's so cool!
[03:19] S
    Wow, Don RS sure is booming these days.
[03:23] Konishi
    Yeah, we're getting a ton of applicants
    from the junior high division.
[03:27] Konishi
    Nikumi's gotten way more charismatic lately.

    Huh?
[03:39] Ikumi
    I'd like to help out at your booth,
[03:43] Ikumi
    but I have to take care of them.
[03:46] Ikumi
    So...
[03:48] S
    Oh, there's no need, Nikumi.
[03:50] S
    I'm the one who told you to
    give Don RS your best shot.
[03:53] Ikumi
    Right!
[03:54] Ikumi
    But if you run into any trouble,
    ask for help!
[03:56] S
    Okay!

    That's ridiculous, Alice!
[04:12] S
    Huh?
[04:13] Alice
    You don't have to get so mad at me!
[04:15] E
    The booth application deadline
    was a long time ago.
[04:19] E
    You decide now that you want
     to join the Moon Festival?
[04:22] E
    I may be one of the Elite Ten,
    but even I can't help you.
[04:25] Alice
    Hmph.
[04:26] Alice
    I can grab someone else's booth
    location using a Shokugeki.
[04:30] Alice
    There are other ways, I'm sure.
[04:31] E
    You said it was too much trouble
    to even bother last year!
[04:34] S
    Hey, what are you Nakiris fighting about?
[04:37] Alice
    Oh, Yukihira-kun.
[04:38] E
    Don't call us that!
[04:40] Hisako
    Erina-sama!
[04:42] Hisako
    Due to traffic,
[04:43] Hisako
    the contractors handling interior
    construction will be an hour late.
[04:47] E
    I see. I suppose we can't do much about that.
[04:48] S
    Oh!
[04:48] S
    I guess you guys time to spare, then.
[04:50] E
    Huh?
[04:51] S
    I've been thinking that I'm gonna make
    some dishes I used to serve back home.
[04:54] S
    Can you be taste testers?
[04:56] E
    What?!
[04:57] E
    Why would I do something like that?!
[04:59] Hisako
    Just for an hour, Yukihira!
[05:02] Hisako
    Erina-sama is very busy.
[05:03] E
    Hisako isn't vetoing it?!
[05:06] Alice
    I can chip in, too.
[05:07] S
    Thanks!
[05:13] Hisako
    I've sliced the green onions.
[05:16] Hisako
    That's as far as I'll go in terms of help.
[05:17] S
    Sure, thanks!
[05:19] E
    Hisako...
[05:20] E
    I'm not wrong. I think she's friendlier
    with Yukihira-kun lately.
[05:25] E
    Hisako...
[05:26] Hisako
    Yes?
[05:29] E
    N-Nothing. Never mind.
[05:32] S
    Here's the Yukihira-Style Mapo Tofu Set!
[05:35] S
    Dig in!
[05:36] Hisako
    From what I've seen,
[05:38] Hisako
    this appears to be a typical dish served
    at restaurants for the general public,
[05:41] Hisako
    Erina-sama.
[05:52] E
    Hm, I see.
[05:54] Alice
    So spicy!
[05:55] E
    But this won't let you beat Kuga-senpai.
[05:59] E
    That's because your dish lacks both
    ma and la by a significant margin.
[06:05] S
    "Ma" and "la"? What are
    you talking about, Nakiri?
[06:08] E
    You should be ashamed of your ignorance!
[06:10] E
    Listen, spiciness in Chinese
    cuisine rests upon two pillars.
[06:14] E
    The fiery spiciness associated
    with red chili peppers, la-wei,
SIGN    La-wei
[06:17] E
    and the numbing spiciness associated
    with Sichuan peppers, ma-wei.
SIGN    Ma-wei
[06:20] E
    The two combined are called ma-la-wei.
[06:24] S
    Huh.
[06:26] S
    Sichuan peppers...
[06:27] S
    Nikumi used them during the prelims.
[06:30] E
    Chinese cuisine encompasses
    a very broad range of dishes.
[06:35] E
    There are eight great regional
    cuisines across China,
SIGN    Anui
SIGN    Hunan
SIGN    Jiangsu
[06:38] E
    each of which developed in a specific
    climate and local customs.
SIGN    Fujian
SIGN    Zhejiang
SIGN    Shandong
[06:41] E
    The ma-la flavor is considered
    the distinctive characteristic
SIGN    Sichuan
[06:44] E
    of Sichuan cuisine,
     which is Kuga-senpai's forte—
SIGN    Sichuan
[06:50] S
    Hm, hm.
[06:51] E
    Crap!
[06:52] E
    I gave him useful information!
[06:54] S
    That was really helpful.
[06:56] S
    Thanks for explaining it to me.
[06:58] E
    F-Forget what I just said!
[07:00] E
    Forget everything!
[07:02] S
    That's impossible.
[07:03] Alice
    Yeah, no way.
[07:04] Hisako
    That's impossible, Erina-sama.
[07:08] S
    I see.
[07:09] S
    So Chinese Cuisine RS's mapo tofu has all that
[07:11] S
    lingering flavor despite
    the sheer spiciness of it
[07:13] S
    because Kuga-senpai is making
    good use of the ma-la flavor.
[07:17] Alice
    That sounds about right.
[07:18] Alice
    His culinary skills are
    quite advanced, of course,
[07:21] Alice
    but there can be yet another reason
    why his spiciness is so addictive.
[07:25] S
    Huh?
[07:26] Alice
    From a biological standpoint,
    spiciness is not about the sense of taste,
[07:30] Alice
    but about the sense of pain!
[07:32] S
    Huh, so it's about how much it hurts.
[07:35] Alice
    That's right.
[07:36] Alice
    Spiciness is not sensed by
    the same flavor receptors
[07:40] Alice
    that handle sweetness, bitterness,
    sourness, saltiness, and umami.
[07:42] Alice
    It's sensed by a separate
    class of vanilloid receptors.
[07:45] Alice
    Extra strong spiciness
[07:47] Alice
    also causes adrenaline and beta-endorphins
    to be released in the brain.
[07:50] Hisako
    Those neurotransmitters trigger
    feelings of excitement and happiness.
[07:54] Hisako
    That'd explain why spiciness is addictive.
[07:57] Alice
    Yes, it's only possible because
    spiciness is perceived as pain.
[08:01] Hisako
    In medicinal cuisine,
[08:03] Hisako
    spiciness is said to aid internal
    organs in their functions
[08:06] Hisako
    and also help reduce stress.
[08:09] S
    I see.
[08:10] Hisako
    That's why those who wield absolute control
    over spiciness are formidable foes.
[08:15] Hisako
    Kuga-san once said to me that...
[08:18] (Flashback) Kuga
    When anyone eats my food,
[08:20] (Flashback) Kuga
    they all sweat a ton and turn
    red in the face, you know?
[08:22] (Flashback) Kuga
    But they all keep eating anyway.
[08:25] (Flashback) Kuga
    Seeing that is the best.
[08:27] (Flashback) Kuga
    I love torturing people with my food.
[08:33] S
    I guess I can kind of relate to that.
[08:35] S
    When someone eats my food and
    smiles because it tastes good
[08:37] S
    or groans because it tastes awful, it's fun.
[08:40] S
    I guess that's part of why I cook.
[08:43] E
    I see he's plenty twisted enough on his own.
[08:45] E
    Anyway, spiciness can deliver a jolt
    of delicious flavor like lightning!
[08:49] E
    Kuga-senpai is well aware of how
    it can bring people to their knees.
[08:53] E
    That's how he was able to join the Elite Ten.
[08:57] E
    The overwhelming spiciness of Sichuan cuisine
[08:59] E
    and its underlying complex flavors—
[09:02] E
    if you do not have a
    means of countering that,
[09:05] E
    you will never be able to win!
[09:07] M
    I see.
[09:09] M
    Nakiri-san said that?
[09:13] M
    Is your mapo tofu so bad, though?
[09:17] S
    It's not "bad,"
[09:19] S
    but it's true that it can't stand
    up the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine.
[09:24] S
    It's a similar to back when
    I clashed with Mimasaka over beef stew.
[09:28] S
    I guess testing is the
    only way I'll find out.
[09:31] S
    First, I'm going to research
    the heck out of that spiciness,
[09:34] S
    then I'm going to figure out
    a recipe that'll let me win.
[09:36] M
    Oh, um...
[09:38] M
    I thought this might be useful.
[09:40] M
    I brought Chinese recipes and stuff.
[09:42] S
    Huh?
[09:43] S
    Didn't you get invited by
    Isshiki-senpai to join in
[09:46] S
    on the Polar Star Dormitory
    booth with the others?
[09:48] M
    Oh, yeah.
[09:49] M
    My Regional Cuisine RS is doing a booth, too.
[09:54] M
    But I turned both of them down.
[09:56] S
    Huh? Why?
[09:57] M
    Oh.
[09:58] M
    Well, I mean, I thought you
    didn't have enough staff.
[10:04] M
    Oh, um... Right!
[10:05] M
    I might hold you back, of course!
[10:08] M
    B-But back home, I'd help out with customers,
[10:12] M
    and I studied up some
    during the Stagiaire, too.
[10:14] M
    I guess I think I might
    be of some help, maybe!
[10:17] M
    So... if I can help you with your booth...
[10:21] M
    That is, if you're okay with that...
[10:25] S
    Tadokoro...
[10:27] S
    That'd seriously be a super big help!
[10:29] M
    Okay!
[10:29] S
    Okay, let's cook up something
    awesome, Tadokoro!
[10:33] M
    Yeah!

[10:37] Alice
    May I come in?
[10:39] Hayama
    What do you want?
[10:40] Alice
    I have a message.
[10:42] Alice
    I, Nakiri Alice, have decided to

[10:47] Hayama
    Oh, okay.

    But the booth application period has ended.
[10:53] Alice
    So let's put our best foot forward together.
[10:55] Hayama
    Huh?
[10:56] Alice
    Let's use the Shiomi Research Group's booth
    location together, with the three of us.
[11:01] Alice
    I have permission from Professor Shiomi.
[11:04] Hayama
    Huh?!
[11:05] (Flashback) Alice
    Please hear me out, Professor Shiomi.
[11:08] (Flashback) Alice
    He can continue his work at

    but he can only participate
    in the school festival

    You too, Erina!
[11:58] Alice
    I'm going to one-up you guys at the festival!
[12:01] Hayama
    I'll have you know that our booth
    location is in the Main Avenue area,

    First, saute ground pork over high heat.
[12:15] S
    Boil firm tofu for two
    minutes and let it drain.
[12:18] S
    Once the ground pork turns
    brown and fragrant,
[12:22] S
    add the spicy flavors!
[12:24] S
    Take chicken stock and add sweet bean sauce,
[12:26] S
    chili bean sauce, black bean sauce,
[12:27] S
    garlic, and chili powder.
[12:32] M
    How is it?
[12:33] S
    It's still not enough.

    This wasn't the spiciness I
    tasted at Chinese Cuisine RS.
[12:40] S
    Wow, so spicy!
[12:42] S
    But it's still not enough!
[12:44] S
    Not yet!
[12:45] S
    Spicy!
[12:46] S
    Not gonna let them beat me!
[12:47] S
    Damn, it's spicy!
[12:49] S
    I did it, Tadokoro!

[12:55] S
    Try it, please.
[12:56] M

[13:07] M
    Sh-Shpicy!
[13:10] S
    Yeah, it's ridiculously spicy.
[13:13] S
    Okay, let's try some other Chinese dishes.
[13:17] S
    Twice-cooked pork.
[13:18] S
    Pepper steak.
[13:20] S
    Oh, sorry, Tadokoro.
[13:23] S
    You can take a break.
[13:25] M
    No, I have to do the tasting!
[13:27] M
    Sh-Shpicy!
[13:31] M
    I ate it...
[13:32] M
    I managed to eat it, Soma-kun!
[13:34] S
    I knew it,
[13:36] S
    but it's still a complete failure.
[13:38] S
    They're just spicy, and that's it.
[13:42] S
    Beyond all that spiciness,
[13:44] S
    the Chinese Cuisine RS's mapo
    tofu had well-constructed umami.
[13:51] M
    Um, Soma-kun...
[13:53] M
    I heard this from Hojo-san,
[13:55] M
    but the seasonings used
    by the Chinese Cuisine RS
[13:58] M
    like chili bean sauce,
     sweet bean sauce, black bean sauce,
[14:01] M
    and oyster sauce are all
    specially-made by Kuga-senpai.
[14:06] S
    Specially-made?
[14:08] M
    I think that's why there's so much
    umami underlying the spiciness.
[14:13] S
    I see.
[14:14] S
    So one of Sichuan cuisine's signature dishes
[14:17] S
    has been infused with multiple expressions
[14:18] S
    of Kuga-senpai's culinary convictions.
[14:20] S
    It's really become a dish that
    represents who he is as a chef.
[14:24] S
    Spiciness, huh.

    We're hoping to look rustic and approachable.
[15:02] Yuki
    We already have a ton of advance reservations

    from ladies who attend
    Isshiki-senpai's cooking class!
[15:08] S
    I get that, but...
[15:10] S
    Why are you dressed like
    that, Isshiki-senpai?
[15:13] I
    Well, traditional taro stew gatherings
    are done on a river bank.

    You're doing it with Takumi?
[15:41] Isami
    With all of our classmates, actually.
[15:44] Takumi
    Yukihira!
[15:46] Takumi
    I heard you're going to
    challenge Kuga-senpai.
[15:48] S
    Oh, yeah.
[15:49] Takumi
    Let me say this.
[15:50] Takumi
    You're not the only one who's
    grown during the Stagiaire.
[15:54] Takumi
    Don't think I'm the same man
    I was during the prelims!
[15:57] Takumi
    I'm the one who'll defeat you!
[15:59] Isami
    We have to go shopping, Bro.
[16:01] Takumi
    You hear me, Yukihira?!

    You've got to be kidding me!

    Why?
[16:08] Alice
    Why does it have to be curry?
[16:09] Hayama
    We're inviting representatives from
    Shiomi Research Group's corporate partners!
[16:13] Hayama
    You can't just do whatever you want!
[16:14] Alice
    Then why am I even showing up?!
[16:17] Ryo
    I have a message from Professor Shiomi.
[16:20] Jun
    I'll manage our corporate partners somehow!
[16:23] Jun
    Hayama-kun, go enjoy student life!
[16:26] Hayama
    Jun...
[16:27] Alice
    Besides, Professor Shiomi told me to
    collaborate with you on the menu.
[16:28] S
    That's a fun trio.
[16:30] M
    I wonder if they'll actually
    be able to work together.
[16:32] S
    It's busy everywhere,
[16:33] S
    but I guess everyone's enjoying student life.
[16:35] M
    Yeah, it's really invigorating!
[16:39] Kuga
    Come on, march!
[16:41] S
    There's nothing invigorating about this.
[16:41] Kuga

[16:44] Kuga
    Oh, Yukihira-chin.
[16:45] S
    Hey.
[16:46] S
    Is that construction material for your booth?
[16:48] Kuga
    Yeah, it's such a production.
[16:50] Kuga
    Our booth's huge,
[16:52] Kuga
    and the storefront is an
    important factor, you know?
[16:54] S
    It kind of looks grim.
[16:56] Guys
    Not at all! We're having fun!
[16:59] S
    Well, that's good.
[17:01] Kuga
    Still, if your booth loses money,
    you'll be expelled!
[17:04] Kuga
    I couldn't possibly bear
    to see young talent like you
[17:07] Kuga
    forced to leave the academy!
[17:10] S
    You're definitely not thinking that at all.
[17:12] Kuga
    Well, try not to get expelled, at least.
[17:16] Kuga
    Come on, march!
[17:17] Kuga
    A one-two, a one-two!
[17:18] S
    The storefront's also an
    important factor, huh.
[17:22] S
    It's true that when I set up shop
    at a summer festival with Dad,
[17:25] S
    we got more customers when
    we were more creative.
[17:28] S
    Huh?

[17:52] Miyoko
    Sure.
[17:53] Miyoko
    I already got permission from the
    lead lecturer in Chinese cuisine.
[17:56] Miyoko
    I told you to hit me up if
    you needed help, remember?
[18:01] M
    Thanks!
[18:02] Miyoko
    I wish I could help you out
    during the festival, too,
[18:05] Miyoko
    but I'm supposed to help
    out at a different booth.
[18:07] M
    Oh, don't worry about it
    after all your help already!
[18:10] M
    Besides, you're still training for
    your family restaurant, right?
[18:14] Miyoko
    Yeah. It's all baby steps,
[18:16] Miyoko
    but I feel I'm building better relationships
    with the restaurant staff lately.
[18:20] Miyoko
    I hope I can be like you soon—
