SIGN    Dojima [00:09] Sen     Yukihira Soma, Nakiri Erina,     and Saiba Joichiro. [00:13] Sen     They will be Team Saiba. SIGN    Saiba [00:15] Sign 0015     As for the rules, you may not say a single     word to each other while cooking. SIGN    Food Wars SIGN    The Third Plate SIGN    Totsuki Train Arc SIGN    Erina's Diligent Studies [01:55] Tsukasa     As such, there will be a     Team Shokugeki on Rebun Island. [02:01] Tsukasa     What do you all think? [02:02] Tsukasa     Are you all right with this? [02:04] Nene     I'm fine with it. SIGN    Kinokuni Nene [02:05] Rindo     What about you guys? [02:07] Rindo     Are you game? [02:08] Saito     A Team Shokugeki! [02:10] Saito     How bold! [02:12] Saito     It's not a bad idea, though. [02:13] Saito     It is a good opportunity to annihilate     those who would oppose Central. [02:17] Momo     Yeah. [02:18] Momo     That's check again, So-myan. [02:21] Momo     I think it's a good idea, too. [02:23] Momo     We can beat up all the rebels in one go. [02:26] Momo     Right, Bucchi? [02:28] Eizan     Let me join the fight, too! [02:30] Eizan     I need to be the one who     crushes Yukihira Soma! [02:33] Tsukasa     But would you be okay, Eizan? [02:35] Eizan     Huh? [02:36] Eizan     What are you saying, Tsukasa-san? [02:37] Tsukasa     Well... [02:37] Tsukasa     I was just thinking it wouldn't      do to have you lose again. [02:41] Rindo     Tsukasa, you idiot! [02:43] Tsukasa     What, Rindo? [02:45] Rindo     Do you have no sympathy     for the underclassmen?! [02:48] Rindo     Eizan suffered a crushing     loss to a first-year brat! [02:53] Rindo     Feel sorry for him, okay?! Be nice to him! [02:56] Nene     Eizan, I feel for you. [02:59] Nene     Hey! [02:59] Nene     That's my cell! [03:04] Nene     I hate how barbaric you are. [03:07] Nene     So we'll have four opponents? SIGN    Kinokuni Nene [03:09] Nene     Should we just face them     with the same headcount? [03:12] Azami     Well, that is a valid strategy. [03:15] Azami     But given the occasion, let's go all out. [03:21] Train     Teamwork in the kitchen only happens     after many years of training. [03:26] Train     And yet here they are, without      speaking a word to each other. [03:28] Chef     Indeed. [03:29] Chef     I wonder if either team can     even complete the dish. [03:32] Takumi     We're to make hachis Parmentier, [03:35] Takumi     a dish made from layers of mashed potatoes,     cheese, and meat sauce, but... [03:39] M     Why has he put out anchovies,     basil, and a flat serving dish? [03:47] (Flashback) Takumi     Eventually, I'll challenge     you to a Shokugeki. [03:50] (Flashback) Takumi     I swear I'll settle the score [03:52] (Flashback) Takumi     from our match on the first day of camp     during the Autumn Elections! [03:56] Takumi     After all that talk, [03:58] Takumi     I lost before I could even face him again. [04:00] Takumi     He even got the knife that's more     important than my own life back to me. [04:04] (Flashback) Takumi     Shit, shit! [04:07] (Flashback) Takumi     Shit! [04:09] Takumi     I have to change! [04:12] (Flashback) T     I am Takumi Aldini, a first-year high     school student at Totsuki Academy. [04:16] (Flashback) T     I have come for the Stagiaire! [04:18] (Flashback) T     Thank you for having me. [04:21] (Flashback) Kitchen     Takumi! [04:22] (Flashback) Kitchen     Twenty servings plated, stat! [04:24] (Flashback) T     Got it! [04:24] (Flashback) Nakai     I'm shocked that the chief let a student     into the kitchen after the first day or two. [04:30] (Flashback) Fujii     He was done in by those eyes. [04:32] (Flashback) Fujii     There's a fiery resolution     in those blue eyes of his. [04:37] T     I have to destroy what I've come     to consider Aldini cooking. [04:41] T     I have to shatter who I've been! [04:45] Chef     White wine vinegar, olive oil, and a blender. [04:49] E     I see. [04:51] E     If it'll be served on a plate,     there will need to be a sauce! [04:53] E     Chef Dojima is requesting anchoyade sauce. [04:58] Staff     What is that, Chef? [05:00] Chef     Soffritto, [05:02] Chef     a paste used in Italian cuisine. [05:04] Chef     It's made by slowly sautéeing onions and [05:06] Chef     garlic with red and green     bell peppers in olive oil. [05:09] E     It's a close cousin to the onion, carrot, SIGN    Mirepoix SIGN    Soffritto [05:12] E     and celery-based mirepoix     used in French cuisine. [05:14] E     But the additional bell     peppers in Italian soffritto [05:18] E     results in a sweeter, richer paste     that goes well with the dish's sauce. [05:21] Chef     But soffritto is not used in     typical hachis Parmentier. [05:25] Staff     Why here, then? [05:27] Chef     Is he trying to extend his     response to Chef Dojima's improvisation [05:29] Chef     by improvising on his own     to further enhance the dish's taste? [05:34] Sen     He's grown. [05:36] Sen     I can sense a new determination that     is almost an obsession within him. [05:41] T     Why are you faltering, Yukihira? [05:44] T     Our goal is to get Isami and     the others back into Totsuki. [05:47] T     And yet you're going let     yourself stumble here? [05:50] T     So what if this is just a mock battle? [05:51] T     This is a kitchen— [05:52] T     The battleground for you and me! [05:54] S     You're right—that's the     Takumi Aldini I know. [06:00] S     You're getting me all fired up! [06:03] E     There's only one thing to do here. [06:05] E     Discern Saiba-sama's intentions and     respond to the best of my abilities! [06:09] E     Hachis Parmentier has three main components. [06:13] E     A rich meat sauce with     well-browned ground meat, [06:17] E     creamy mashed potatoes called pomme purée, [06:20] E     and cheese. [06:22] E     The components are layered,     then baked to form the final dish. [06:25] E     And yet, Saiba-sama is making... crêpes? [06:29] E     What am I supposed to do? [06:30] E     What does he want?! [06:32] Staff     Is he making dessert? [06:34] Train     It's no small wonder that his     support staff are confused. [06:42] Chef     Oh, the washcloth boy's doing something. [06:43] Chef     He's prepping potatoes and cheese. [06:46] Chef     Those ingredients are typical     for hachis Parmentier. [06:50] S     Uh, I think they're around here... [06:53] S     Oh, there it is! [06:54] [SONG] Sign 0656     Dried Young Sardines [06:57] Staff     What?! [06:58] Staff     Why dried young sardines?! [06:59] Staff     The fish's briny smell is good, [07:02] Staff     but I have no idea what     they're making any more. [07:06] E     There's no way this dish     will be even halfway decent. [07:09] E     I have no idea what these two are thinking. [07:14] E     No, you do actually know. [07:17] E     Remember, Nakiri Erina. [07:19] E     Remember what you experienced     at Polar Star Dormitory. [07:22] E     There, you found that unexpected     solutions would arise [07:25] E     from chaotic ideas clashing together. [07:30] E     What these two are doing must be the same. [07:33] E     By throwing their ideas     and egos at each other, [07:36] E     they're hoping to create something that     cannot be created through harmony. [07:39] E     That is the challenge     set before us by Saiba-sama. [07:43] E     It's an unthinkable way to cook,     from my perfectionist standpoint. [07:47] E     Fine, I get it. [07:49] E     I'll come along for the ride! [07:50] Chef     What?! [07:51] Chef     Erina-sama?! [07:56] Staff     She's cooking a steak! [07:59] Train     That's what the dish is supposed to be?! [08:01] Chef     No, hachis Parmentier is supposed to     use finely minced meat or ground meat. [08:06] Chef     I'm taken aback. [08:08] Chef     Erina-sama has always aimed to uphold     mainstream, elite gourmet food. [08:13] Chef     I can't imagine her doing     such avant garde cooking. [08:16] D     This may be the moment     when she truly begins... [08:23] D     her real serious training. [08:31] Sen     Time's up! [08:33] Sen     Both teams, serve your dish! [08:35] Sen     Now, we taste the hachis Parmentier! [08:41] Staff     Wow! [08:42] Staff     What's that? It's so cute! SIGN    Dojima [08:44] Staff     What are the green dots? [08:46] Staff     The browned cheese and rich meat sauce... [08:49] Staff     What a rich, sweet smell—so exciting! [08:52] Chef     Is this dish really hachis Parmentier?! SIGN    Saiba [08:55] Train     Crêpe, dried young sardines, and steak... [08:58] Train     I have no idea what it'll taste like. [09:00] Sen     Let us evaluate each dish— [09:05] Sen     or so I'd like to say. [09:08] Sen     But in this match, you four     will decide the outcome! [09:12] 4     What?! [09:13] Sen     This match will conclude with     both sides tasting their dishes! [09:19] S     What's going on here? [09:21] E     I guess we'll just have to do the tasting. [09:22] S     Right. [09:24] S     Wow! [09:25] S     What a smooth pommes purée. [09:27] S     It's like an impossibly fine     cotton candy made by magic. [09:33] E     What beautiful layers of pommes     purée and meat sauce. [09:36] E     There is a nice bulkiness to it. [09:38] E     The vivid design with the green sauce     adds visual interest as well. [09:48] T     There's cubed meat inside! [09:50] T     This is— [09:51] M     It's piping hot, but... [09:53] T     Yeah. It's impossible to resist eating it,     even though it almost burns the tongue. [09:58] E     That's one of hachis Parmentier's... [10:02] E     ...unshakable allures. [10:13] D     How about you all? [10:15] SDad     Please, have a taste. [10:21] Staff     Wow! [10:22] Staff     Such depth! [10:23] Train     How can it taste like this?! [10:25] Chef     So this is the power of Totsuki! [10:27] Sen     So, which team won? [10:30] Sen     Point at the victor! [10:37] Staff     Which one... [10:37] Staff     ...won? [10:41] Chef     Impossible! [10:43] Train     What's going on? [10:45] Chef     Both teams admitted their own defeat? [10:48] Staff     But even Erina-sama, with her god tongue... [10:51] Staff     ...is pointing to the other team? [10:54] E     In high-end restaurants, meat sauce     is basically ground beef stew. [10:58] E     In your dish, the meat sauce constitutes     a firm foundation of flavor. SIGN    Parmesan Cheese      SIGN    Meat Sauce      SIGN    Anchoyade Sauce      SIGN    Espagnole Sauce SIGN    Pommes Purée      [11:03] E     Aldini-kun's soffritto has given the     ground beef a deeper sweetness! [11:07] E     Also, the soffritto is used     in the Espagnole sauce. [11:12] E     This must be Tadokoro-san's     inspiration, correct? [11:14] E     Impressive. [11:16] E     Lastly, the anchoyade sauce     used to accent the dish [11:18] E     was placed in dots, creating     a varied flavor profile [11:21] E     as well as visual interest. [11:24] E     If I were to make a comparison... [11:25] E     It is like listening to an impeccable     jam session by a jazz band, [11:29] E     where harmony and symphony quietly     shine amidst all the improvisation, [11:31] E     and the band leader strikes a      pleasant rhythm on percussion. [11:34] T     I'm not convinced. [11:36] E     What? [11:37] T     What about the bold reinterpretation [11:39] T     of the three main components of     the hachis Parmentier in your dish, [11:41] T     which opened the door to an entirely     new realm of possibilities? [11:46] T     Yukihira guessed that Joichiro-san intended     to wrap the ingredients in a crêpe, [11:50] T     and thought to make a crunchy pommes galette      with cheese, potatoes, and dried sardines [11:51] [SONG] ---     Dried Young Sardines [11:54] T     to include in the crêpe     along with the pommes purée. SIGN    Cheese SIGN    Pommes Purée SIGN    Crêpe SIGN    Pommes Galette SIGN    Sardines [11:58] T     That allowed the dish to have     a chewy, crispy texture [12:03] T     and seafood flavor it     otherwise would not have. [12:05] T     And to think Nakiri-san would     add her own innovation as well! [12:07] M     Yeah, I was really surprised. [12:10] M     She cooked one of the best beef cuts,     the entrecôte, until it was well done, [12:14] M     then created a sauce made by simmering     down an entire bottle of Bordeaux wine [12:18] M     into a concentrated Bordelaise     sauce for the meat, [12:19] M     and had the whole thing go inside the crêpe! [12:21] T     Right, it's a specialized "meat sauce"     that has an undeniable meatiness to it! [12:25] T     Her response to the assigned topic was     to add even more texture to the dish! [12:28] T     If I were to make a comparison... [12:32] T     It's worthy of being called avant garde art,      a collaboration provoked [12:36] T     by the team lead calling for different     artists to bring their own ideas to the table! [12:42] E     But the sauce was way too left field. [12:45] E     The dish would have come together more [12:47] E     if I had leveraged the      sardines' flavor better. [12:48] T     What are you saying?! [12:49] T     It was a great idea! [12:51] S     Yeah, it sure was! [12:54] M     Nakiri-san, you had a big smile     on your face when you made it. [12:56] T     Yup. [12:56] S     You looked like you were     having real fun making it. [12:58] E     What now? Why are you all making fun of me?! [13:01] E     Aldini-kun and Tadokoro-san,     what you two did is more amazing! [13:04] E     I'm saying that as someone with the     god tongue, so there's no mistake! [13:06] E     Our dish barely qualifies     as the assigned topic! [13:08] T     What are you saying? [13:09] T     You should get more credit     for being able to bring [13:12] T     such strong components together! [13:13] E     If that's the case, [13:14] E     Tadokoro-san should get     the highest recognition [13:16] E     for providing such strong     support behind the scenes! [13:18] M     Th-Th-Th-That's not true! [13:20] S     That is true! [13:21] S     Tadokoro, you're impressive, too! Man! [13:24] Sen     In order to make teamwork     happen in a Team Shokugeki, [13:27] Sen     it's critical for each team member to     experience the others' abilities first-hand. [13:32] Sen     This match allowed them to realize     what challenges each of them overcame [13:33] T     You guys won. [13:34] E     You don't get to decide. [13:35] Sen     and what techniques and determination     they gained as a result. [13:36] T     Just accept it. [13:38] S     Well, let's say both dishes tasted great. [13:41] ---     Yeah! [13:41] Sen     The training has worked out well. [13:44] SDad     So it's a draw. [13:46] D     Yeah. [13:47] Sen     Erina, that was an interesting dish. [13:51] Sen     You looked like you were having fun. [13:53] E     Not you making fun of me, too, Grandfather! [13:56] E     I was just inspired by     Saiba-sama and Yukihira-kun. [13:59] E     If I were alone, I would     not have been able to— [14:00] Sen     Indeed, that is how they have     been galvanizing each other. [14:04] Sen     For that family, clashing the     way they did is typical. [14:10] Sen     That is why Yukihira Soma     was not cowed by this match SIGN    Ruffle [14:13] Sen     and made Joichiro accept his contribution. SIGN    Ruffle [14:18] E     But I couldn't dream of doing something     like that with my father. [14:24] E     I can't imagine asking him     for a favor like that. [14:26] Sen     Why not ask? [14:29] Sen     You're his daughter. [14:31] Sen     You should learn to be     selfish sometimes, Erina. [14:38] Azami     Saiba-senpai and the others     are on Tsukikage #4. [14:42] Azami     Here, their train's route     and a different route meet. [14:47] Azami     We will meet them here tomorrow [14:50] Azami     and specify the rules for the match. [14:56] Azami     Erina... [14:57] Azami     I wonder if you enjoyed     your playtime outside. [15:00] Azami     It's time to hear what you have to say. [15:16] S     So this is where we'll     convene to decide the rules. [15:18] S     Is it really here? It's in      the middle of nowhere. [15:21] S     So where are our opponents? [15:24] M     Oh, there! [15:34] Azami     This was a faster way to come. [15:37] Azami     The others should arrive soon, too. [15:49] Tsukasa     We're all here now. [15:51] Rindo     It's so cold. [15:53] Rindo     Let's get this over with. [15:55] T     All six turncoat Elite Ten     members are here, it seems. [15:59] S     Eizan-senpai, it's been a while     since the last Shokugeki— [16:01] Eizan     I'll crush you! [16:02] S     Um... [16:03] Eizan     Crush! [16:04] S     Uh... [16:04] Eizan     Crush! [16:05] S     Okay. [16:06] Eizan     Crush! [16:06] Eizan     Crush, crush, crush, crush... [16:07] Nene     His intentions are transparent. [16:10] Azami     Go on, Kinokuni. [16:11] Nene     Understood. [16:11] Nene     Once the final stage exams are complete, [16:14] Nene     a special examination hall will be set     on the southern tip of Rebun Island [16:16] Nene     to serve as the Team Shokugeki arena. [16:19] Nene     Students who are continuing to travel north     while clearing their advancement exams, [16:22] Nene     as well as any invited guests     are welcome to attend. [16:26] S     Nice. You're going to make     this into a spectacle. [16:29] T     Yeah, to show us rebels being defeated. [16:34] Sen     Very well. [16:35] Sen     Do we agree that the winning team     will take all Elite Ten seats? [16:40] Azami     I have no objections. [16:42] Azami     Let's not place specific limitations on     how many members can be on each team. [16:46] Azami     That is a unique characteristic     of a Team Shokugeki, [16:49] Azami     and Saiba-senpai has previously participated     in a one-on-fifty match, hasn't he? [16:52] S     Really? [16:55] Azami     If you have any other supporters, [16:57] Azami     I don't care if you were to     bring fifty or a hundred. [17:01] Azami     Now that almost all the     rebels have been expelled, [17:03] Azami     I imagine that would be difficult, however. [17:06] D     You're in quite a good mood, Azami. [17:09] D     But should Yukihira and the others     win and become Elite Ten members, [17:12] D     they can remove you     from your position as director. [17:15] D     Central will be disbanded, [17:16] D     and your so-called revolution     will be all for naught. [17:20] Azami     If we win, all the rebels will be expelled. [17:24] Azami     And Saiba-senpai will become my ally. [17:27] Azami     Nothing would make me happier. [17:30] SDad     You're right. [17:32] SDad     And if they lose, I will     also close Yukihira down. [17:35] T     If I may interrupt, [17:36] T     all we're thinking about here is how to     get our friends back in the academy. [17:41] T     This is why we're doing this Shokugeki! [17:43] S     That's right! [17:44] S     Don't you ever forget that. [17:46] Azami     I am aware. [17:48] S     Huh? SIGN    Totsuki Teahouse Culinary Academy     Totsuki [17:49] T     Student handbooks? [17:50] E     Could they be from our friends who were     defeated in the third exam stage? [17:54] Azami     They have no further need     of these, after all. SIGN    Totsuki Teahouse Culinary Academy Student I.D.      Yoshino Yuki [17:57] Azami     I had them hand theirs over. [17:59] Saito     This symbolizes our identity     as Totsuki students. [18:03] Momo     Hey, what do you think you're doing?! [18:05] Momo     Give Bucchi back, So-myan! [18:07] Saito     Let us treat ours equally, since they     represent our lives as the Elite Ten. [18:11] Momo     You suck! [18:12] Momo     How dare you use my Bucchi like      some kind of convenient bag? [18:16] Saito     I've seen you pinch and pull at it     all the time. Look who's talking. [18:20] Nene     Saito-senpai... [18:21] Saito     Always uphold a fair and just match. [18:24] Saito     Showing one's willingness to do     so is the spirit of a samurai! [18:29] Tsukasa     If you want them back, face us. [18:32] Tsukasa     We'll meet you head-on. [18:34] Tsukasa     We'll keep the student handbooks safe. [18:37] Azami     That reminds me, Erina. [18:39] Azami     Of course, you will be participating in the     Team Shokugeki as one of our team members. [18:45] S     Hey, now. What are you saying? [18:47] S     Why do you get to decide     that, Nakamura-senpai? [18:50] Azami     That's my line. [18:53] Azami     The director and the Elite Ten Council     constitute Central's leadership. [18:57] Azami     Which means that, as the tenth seat, [19:00] Azami     Erina is part of Central from     an org chart perspective. [19:03] Azami     It is only to be expected     that she face the rebels. [19:06] M     But... [19:07] Azami     Your time as a runaway is over, Erina. [19:09] Azami     Come back. [19:10] Azami     It's time to stop being so selfish. [19:14] M     Nakiri-san! [19:15] S     This is bad... [19:16] S     Nakiri is a doormat when it comes to her dad. [19:23] E     Father... [19:28] S     She took a deep breath? [19:32] S     Another one! [19:34] S     A third! [19:36] S     A fourth! [19:37] S     No, a lot of deep breaths! [19:43] E     I understand your point of view, Father. [19:46] E     Then I will relinquish my responsibilities     as the Elite Ten's tenth seat! [19:51] E     From now on, I am just Nakiri Erina! [19:55] E     Otherwise, I will not be able to say that     I stand with them both body and soul. [20:00] Eizan     She's throwing her rank away?! [20:05] Azami     To think that you'd ever come to     oppose me with a different opinion... [20:09] Azami     Very well, Erina. [20:11] Azami     However, should your side lose... [20:14] Azami     Erina, you alone will have to     accept a different condition. [20:17] Azami     Expulsion is too easy a consequence. [20:19] Azami     You will have to aid Central     for the rest of your life. [20:23] Azami     You will do as your father tells you [20:26] Azami     and never disobey me again. [20:28] Azami     Understood? [20:31] E     Understood. [20:36] Rindo     Brr... [20:38] Rindo     Later, Yukihira Soma. [20:42] Tsukasa     The matter will be settled     at Rebun Island, then. [20:45] S     Got it. [20:53] S     Hey, Nakiri. [20:57] S     Whoa! [20:58] T     She's got a ton of adrenaline. [21:01] M     Are you okay, Nakiri-san? [21:03] E     Should we win the Team Shokugeki     and crush the current Elite Ten, [21:08] E     I will be enthroned as the     first seat of the Elite Ten! [21:11] E     I will be victorious in this battle to     become the true queen of fine dining! [21:16] E     You all are loyal attendants of the queen! [21:19] E     Consider it an honor! [21:21] T     How wonderful. [21:23] T     As I'd thought, it suits     you to act like a queen. [21:26] M     I'm glad you seem to be feeling better. [21:28] S     Boo... [21:30] S     I'm the one who'll be at the top! [21:32] E     Underlings should stay quiet! [21:34] S     Don't underestimate the diners      that serve the masses! [21:36] E     Are you saying you can't     respect the god tongue? [21:38] S     What?! [21:39] S     Dad! [21:40] S     Dad, say something! [21:41] E     Don't cheat! [21:42] E     Dragging Saiba-sama into     this is against the rules! [21:44] SDad     I'm proud of you. [21:46] SDad     I didn't think you'd stand     up to your pig-headed dad! [21:52] E     I may have been influenced     by a different family's ways. [21:55] D     Did you set the [21:57] D     practice teams as you did yesterday      because you saw even this coming? [22:00] Sen     Oh, I am not clairvoyant. [22:03] Sen     I just wanted her to learn     something from those two. [22:09] D     Always the educator. [22:11] S     Well, after hearing Nakiri say it like that, [22:14] S     I guess we all need to bet     our lives on this thing! [22:16] S     All right! [22:17] S     Guys, bring out your student handbooks! [22:20] S     Here! [22:23] S     You were the first one to rev us up [22:25] S     by telling us to survive     the advancement exams. [22:27] S     You're our rallying cry. [22:30] S     Our lives are in your hands, Nakiri. [22:38] E     Leave it to me!
