[00:34] Soma
    Glad you liked it.
[00:38] Soma
    So, hey...
[00:39] Soma
    Are any of you guys out there the ones
    who sent me the challenge letters?
SIGN    Challenge
[00:43] Girl
    Me.
[00:45] Guy
    Me, too.
[00:46] Soma
    Whoa, there're two of ya.
[00:47] Soma
    Sweet.
[00:49] Soma
    Perfect timing. Why don't we do it now?
[00:52] Soma
    You guys don't mind, right?
[00:53] Niku
    Hey, don't tell me...
[00:55] Soma
    Well?
[00:56] Girl
    My, aren't you a lively one.
[00:59] Guy
    Bring me my knife.
[01:01] Guy
    Yes, sir.
SIGN    Shokugeki
SIGN    Begin
[01:03] Niku
    He's doing multiple Shokugekis in a row?!
[01:04] Megu
    What?!
[01:08] Guy
    He's so fast!
[01:11] Girl
    What is this rich aroma?
[01:13] Niku
    He made two dishes at once?
[01:15] Megu
    Wow...
[01:16] Soma
    Well, dig in.
[01:18] Both
    They look so good...
[01:23] Soma
    Glad you liked it!
SIGN    Yukihira Soma
[01:27] Ryoko
    Megumi!
[01:28] Buns
    Did Yukihira win?
[01:29] Megu
    Oh.
[01:30] Megu
    Yes. It was over before we knew it.
[01:33] Soma
    I guess I'll give the rest to
    Fumio-san to enjoy with her drinks.
[01:36] Soma
    Or, well, I'm sure someone will eat it.
[01:38] Rindo
    Hey, that smells great!
[01:40] Soma
    Huh?
[01:41] Rindo
    Hey, this is awesome.
[01:45] Soma
    Who is this? I don't think
    I've seen her before.
[01:47] Soma
    Is she a second-year? Maybe a third-year...
[01:50] Rindo
    Oh, my bad. It looked so good,
    I couldn't help myself.
[01:53] Soma
    No, it's fine...
[01:56] Rindo
    Thanks, Yukihira Soma!
[02:00] Buns
    He did three Shokugekis in a row?!
[02:01] NIku
    He even did two of them at once!
[02:03] Ryoko
    I guess that's not surprising...
[02:06] Megu
    Huh? I guess Isshiki-senpai was here, too.
[02:09] Megu
    Is he here with someone?
SIGN    The Totsuki Elite Ten
SIGN    The Totsuki Elite Ten
[03:55] Gramps
    I assume everyone is here.
[03:58] Gramps
    I'm getting straight to the point.
[04:00] Gramps
    Every year, the students conduct
    the Momiji Meet and Greet.
[04:04] Gramps
    And now, the flyer for that event...
[04:07] Gramps
    has been finished!
SIGN    Super fun!
SIGN    Momiji Meet and Greet
     is happening
     Hosted by:
    Totsuki Tea House Culinary Academy
     Executive Committee
SIGN    Let's have fun!
SIGN    Who are the
     Elite Ten, woof?
[04:10] Gramps
    I was in charge of the illustration
    of this maple leaf right here.
[04:13] Gramps
    I'm rather pleased with how it
    came out. What do you think?
[04:17] Guy
    Yes. The colors are easy on
    the eye, and it's quite nice.
[04:20] Guy
    Personally, I would've
    preferred a jazzier font.
[04:24] Guy
    We don't want to get too poppy,
    or it'll have no dignity.
[04:31] Gramps
    This will be a very important
    event where those who will
[04:34] Gramps
    lead Totsuki in the future will be present.
[04:37] Erina
    "This Momiji Meet and Greet
    is a long-standing tradition.
[04:41] Erina
    The highest-ranking first-years and
    the current members of the Elite Ten
[04:46] Erina
    will be meeting for the first time.
[04:48] Erina
    Please take this event seriously."
[04:51] Erina
    That's the message I received
    from the director.
[04:56] Niku
    Wow.
[04:57] Niku
    That's some decent-looking saury.
[05:00] Buns
    I'm already drooling.
[05:01] Megu
    Apparently an acquaintance of
    Fumio-san sent her a bunch.
[05:05] Soma
    All right. Order up!
[05:08] Buns
    Whoo! That smells tasty!
[05:10] Ryoko
    The char on them is so pretty.
[05:12] Megu
    Don't be shy, Mito-san.
[05:14] Niku
    S-Sure...
[05:15] Guy
    Don't mind if we do!
[05:16] Guy
    Woohoo!
[05:18] All
    Let's eat!
[05:24] Ryoko
    So rich...
[05:26] Buns
    So juicy...
[05:28] Megu
    The umami only fresh saury can have!
[05:32] Niku
    My boobs won't stop bouncing
    from the intensity!
[05:39] Soma
    Oh, yeah.
[05:40] Soma
    That's saury with maple syrup.
[05:42] Both
    Stop ruining things!
[05:46] Ryoko
    You even have momiji oroshi.
[05:48] Soma
    Yup.
[05:49] Soma
    Help yourselves to as much as
    you'd like. There's also...
[05:51] Soma
    Chocolate sauce, condensed milk,
    habanero sauce, and ramune powder.
[05:54] Buns
    Right. We can get rid of these immediately.
[05:57] Isshiki
    I thought I smelled something tasty.
    I guess it's saury.
[06:01] Soma
    Isshiki-senpai!
[06:03] Isshi
    I'd like to talk to you,
    Soma-kun and Tadokoro-chan.
[06:07] Isshi
    You got a sec?
[06:08] Megu
    Huh?
[06:09] Megu
    What?!
[06:10] Megu
    With the Elite Ten?!
[06:12] Soma
    The Momiji Meet and Greet?
[06:14] Isshi
    Yup.
[06:15] Isshi
    The current Elite Ten and the eight
    first-years chosen for the elections
[06:19] Isshi
    have been invited.
[06:20] Megu
    Um... Is this like the training
    camp or Stagiaire where if we fail,
[06:25] Megu
    we get kicked out?
[06:27] Isshi
    It's not, Tadokoro-chan.
[06:29] Isshi
    The point of this is for you to meet the
    upperclassmen and get to know them better.
[06:34] Megu
    So we're really just going to
    admire the autumn leaves?
[06:38] Megu
    But I'm not sure if I'll be
    able to talk very well with
[06:40] Megu
    upperclassmen I'm meeting
    for the first time.
[06:43] Isshi
    Don't worry. You can take it easy.
[06:45] Soma
    We get to personally meet the Elite Ten...
[06:47] Soma
    Smirk...
[06:49] Megu
    S-S-S-Soma-kun?!
[06:51] Megu
    You've got sumthin' bad
    on yer mind, don't ya?
[06:53] Soma
    Well, I figured one of them might be
    willing to do a Shokugeki with me.
SIGN    Shokugeki
[06:57] Megu
    I knew it! You can't do that!
[06:59] Soma
    I'm just gonna ask. What's the harm in that?
[07:04] Guy
    You're willing to be kicked out if you lose?
[07:06] Soma
    Yeah, sure.
[07:07] Megu
    All I see is harm and more harm!
[07:11] Soma
    There are, like, six others
    above Isshiki-senpai, too.
[07:15] Soma
    I can't wait to see what they're like!
[07:17] Megu
    Oh, jeez! Soma-kun!
SIGN    Super fun!
SIGN    Momiji Meet and Greet

SIGN    Let's have fun!
SIGN    Who are the
     Elite Ten, woof?
[07:47] Soma
    Wow, we've got a great view of the
    autumn leaves, huh, Tadokoro?
[07:53] Soma
    What's wrong?
[07:54] Megu
    I'm starting to get nervous.
[07:56] Megu
    I'm not sure if I can talk to upperclassmen
    I'm meeting for the first time.
[08:01] Ryo
    Why are you sitting next to me?
[08:03] Akira
    That's my line.
[08:05] Akira
    I don't want to be next to those
    who placed second and third.
[08:09] Ryo
    What?!
[08:10] Mima
    You're not coming for revenge yet, Aldini?
[08:14] Taku
    You're so huge. You're making it
    hard to admire the autumn leaves.
[08:18] Megu
    Oh, right.
[08:20] Megu
    Before I even worry about the upperclassmen,
[08:20] Alice
    Oh, come on, Little Miss Secretary.
[08:22] Megu
    the other first-years here
    don't even get along.
[08:23] Hisa
    Stop calling me that!
[08:25] Taku
    Yukihira, what's with your hair?
    It's at an unruly length!
[08:30] Soma
    Oh, yeah. I guess I'll cut it soon.
[08:33] Soma
    I was so wrapped up with
    Master Shinomiya's Stagiaire...
[08:37] Taku
    Chef Shinomiya? You mean SHINO's Tokyo?
[08:40] Soma
    Yup.
[08:40] Taku
    You continue to surpass my expectations.
[08:44] Taku
    To think you'd end up at the
    restaurant of a former first seat.
[08:47] Taku
    Excellent! I'm getting fired up, Yukihira!
[08:50] Soma
    Your hair style's pretty simple, Takumi.
[08:53] Taku
    Of course it is! I'm a chef! And chefs
    should always keep their hair shor—
[08:57] Mima
    Jeez, you're so rigid.
[08:59] Mima
    We're just here to admire
    the autumn leaves today.
[09:01] Taku
    Not only does your hair violate a chef's
    dress code, but you're just sloppy!
[09:05] Mima
    Is that so?
[09:07] Mima
    Believe it or not, I spend
    a lot of time on my hair!
[09:10] Soma
    Man, your hair's silky smooth, Mimasaka!
[09:14] Mima
    Right?
[09:14] Taku
    Oh, knock it off!
[09:16] Soma
    Hey, Nakiri.
[09:18] Soma
    It's been a while.
[09:21] Erina
    I'd appreciate it if you didn't
    talk to me so casually.
[09:23] Soma
    By the way, Nakiri,
[09:25] Soma
    you're not sitting over there even
    though you're in the Elite Ten?
[09:28] Erina
    The purpose of this is for the first-years to
[09:30] Erina
    get to know their upperclassmen better,
[09:31] Erina
    which is why I'm also on this side.
[09:33] Soma
    Ah, I see.
[09:36] Hisa
    You're not going to thank him, Erina-sama?
    For letting you borrow his manga.
[09:41] Hisa
    It's better if you don't
    put off things like that.
[09:44] Erina
    W-Well, those books were payment
    for me since I tasted his dish,
SIGN    With Heart
[09:49] Erina
    so I don't need to thank him!
[09:51] Erina
    Right, Yukihira-kun?
[09:53] Soma
    Uh, I guess so.
[09:55] Soma
    Also, I haven't seen you
    in a while either, Arato.
[09:58] Soma
    You seem well.
[09:59] Hisa
    Yes, thank you.
[10:01] Erina
    H-Huh? Hisako is acting
    friendly with Yukihira-kun?
[10:06] Lady
    The Totsuki Elite Ten have arrived.
[10:14] Soma
    So they're the culinary
    virtuosos who stand out
[10:17] Soma
    above all others at the pinnacle of Totsuki...

[10:41] Buns
    Autumn means eating a bunch of yummy foods.
[10:43] Ryoko
    We're going to gain weight.
[10:44] Niku
    Really?
[10:45] Buns
    We're gonna get nice and jiggly.
[10:47] Ryoko
    I'll probably become even more popular.
[10:49] Niku
    Really?!
[11:01] Soma
    So she's one of the Elite Ten...
[11:05] (Flashback) Rindo
    Oh, my bad.
[11:06] (Flashback) Rindo
    Thanks, Yukihira Soma!
[11:10] Soma
    She's the second seat?
[11:13] Kuga
    So, hey, hey.
[11:15] Kuga
    Why don't we call it a day?
[11:17] Kuga
    And let's just not do this next year.
[11:19] Soma
    Huh?
[11:21] Kuga
    This is such a pain in the ass and
    totally pointless, don't you think?
[11:25] Kuga
    So, well, well, well?
    What do you think, Miss Pigtails?
[11:28] Megu
    Huh?! Um, I, uh, er...
[11:30] Nene
    This was a direct order from the director.
[11:32] Nene
    We won't be able to get out of doing it,
[11:34] Nene
    much less get rid of it.
[11:36] Kuga
    You're not the Pigtails I was talking to.
    Could you not butt in?
[11:41] Kuga
    I'm talking to one of our juniors here.
[11:44] Nene
    You're so annoying.
[11:46] Kuga
    Wow, you're even more irritable
    than usual. You on your period?
[11:50] Nene
    Die.
[11:51] Kuga
    Too bad for you! I will not die!
[11:54] Eizan
    I see the thoughtless guy with the
    permanently annoying voice is here.
[11:59] Eizan
    Our budget from Totsuki is limitless
    thanks to Senzaemon-dono.
[12:04] Eizan
    Meaning I don't mind humoring
    the old man sometimes.
[12:08] Kuga
    Well, the only thing you
    ever think about is money.
[12:11] Kuga
    Man, you're boring.
[12:13] Kuga
    Hurry up and leave Totsuki,
    like today, or maybe even now.
[12:17] Kuga
    Go! Three, two, o—
[12:19] Eizan
    Shut up, shrimp.
[12:20] Kuga
    You bastard!
[12:22] Isshi
    Ah, you're all so lively and chipper today.
[12:26] Isshi
    Why don't we make a toast?
[12:28] Both
    Who the hell died and put
    you in charge, Isshiki?!
[12:32] Megu
    Th-They get along... like, 800
    times worse than the first-years!
[12:38] Gramps
    It appears they're having
    fun again this year.
[12:41] Gramps
    They are the future candidates
    of the Elite Ten.
[12:44] Gramps
    They will one day lead Totsuki.
[12:49] Gramps
    Interacting with the upperclassmen should
    give them the push they need as chefs.

    Huh... I guess you read her name as "Rindo."
[12:58] Soma
    So that's Kobayashi-senpai, the Second Seat.
[13:01] Soma
    And the guy sitting next to her is the
    First Seat of the Totsuki Elite Ten...
[13:06] Soma
    Tsukasa Eishi-senpai.
[13:08] Tsuka
    Yukihira Soma,
[13:10] Tsuka
    and Takumi Aldini,
[13:12] Tsuka
    as well as Mimasaka Subaru.
[13:15] Tsuka
    At the Autumn Elections, you three...
[13:24] Tsuka
    I really wish you hadn't done Shokugekis.
[13:27] Tsuka
    Sigh...
SIGN    Sigh...
[13:28] Both
    Huh?
[13:29] Tsuka
    I was slaving away to make sure the
    Election would end without a hitch,
[13:33] Tsuka
    but then there were two
    Shokugekis in a row...
[13:35] Tsuka
    The audience was huge,
    I had so much paperwork,
[13:39] Tsuka
    and I just kept staring at the timetable.
[13:41] Tsuka
    I was scared to death.
[13:43] Isshiki
    Again, if you let us handle
    things behind the scenes,
[13:46] Isshiki
    you can just do work at the venue—
[13:49] Tsuka
    I'm not meant to speak in front of people!
[13:51] Tsuka
    I told you I'd leave all that to you guys.
[13:55] Soma
    So I'm getting the sense that he's...
[13:58] Taku
    ...nothing like the other First Seats we've seen.
[14:00] Tsuka
    Cower, cower, cower, cower, cower, cower...
[14:01] Soma
    Um, so, uh...
[14:03] Soma/taku
    Sorry about that.
[14:04] Taku
    We're sorry for all the
    trouble we caused you.
[14:08] Taku
    Hey, Mimasaka. You should apologize, too.
[14:10] Taku
    You're the one who set
    up the first Shokugeki.
[14:12] Mima
    I guess.
[14:14] Mima
    We're sorry for all the
    trouble we caused you.
[14:17] Taku
    Don't mimic me!
[14:19] Tsuka
    I mean, it's in the past, so it's fine.
[14:22] Tsuka
    But it's such a hassle being the First Seat.
[14:25] Tsuka
    There are so many responsibilities
    and pressures.
[14:28] Tsuka
    It's honestly weighing on me.
[14:30] Kuga
    Yikes, Tsukassan's in his doom-and-gloom
    mode. Talk about a pain.
[14:35] Kuga
    Well, whatever. I'm gonna ignore him anyway.
[14:37] Nene
    Senpai, please learn to be more reliable.
[14:41] Tsuka
    Even I've noticed that
    I've been sighing a lot more.
[14:46] Rindo
    Come on, Tsukasa. Buck up, will ya?
[14:49] Rindo
    You're scaring the first-years.
[14:52] Rindo
    So yeah. He may be like this,
    but he makes some awesome food.
[14:58] Rindo
    I hope you guys will look out for him.
     I'll be counting on you.
[15:01] Rindo
    Anyway, Tsukasa, let's move this along.
[15:04] Tsuka
    Y-You're right.
[15:06] Tsuka
    Then we should get the tea and snacks...
[15:08] Soma
    Hey, uh, can I ask something first?
[15:11] Tsuka
    Sure, what is it?
[15:13] Soma
    I want to join the Elite Ten right now.
[15:16] Soma
    Would anyone be willing to accept
    a Shokugeki challenge from me?
[15:19] Taku
    Hey, Yukihira!
[15:20] Megu
    Eek!
[15:23] Soma
    So... if going up against third-years
    is asking for too much,
[15:26] Soma
    maybe some second-years...
[15:28] Eizan
    No.
[15:29] Nene
    No.
[15:30] Kuga
    I mean, why would we?
[15:32] Kuga
    No one in the Elite Ten has time
    to deal with a measly first-year.
[15:38] Kuga
    So yeah, sorry, dude.
[15:41] Kuga
    Hey, don't get mad. I apologize!
    For real, for real, for real.
[15:46] Kuga
    I mean, we second-years are also...
[15:49] Kuga
    super busy trying to take
    out the guys above us.
[15:58] Kuga
    Actually, Yukihira-chin.
[16:01] Soma
    "Chin"?
[16:02] Kuga
    You've already been at Totsuki
    for six months, right?
[16:05] Kuga
    Could you get a clue already about
    how important the Elite Ten are?
[16:08] Kuga
    It's not like you can just
    challenge us outta—
[16:10] Soma
    Then, if anything, you guys
    don't have to wager your seats.
[16:13] Kuga
    Huh?
[16:14] Soma
    Basically, I just wanna go
[16:15] Soma
    head-to-head with as many
    skilled people as I can right now.
[16:18] Soma
    So we can totally wager on one of
    the Elite Ten seats another time!
[16:22] Kuga
    See? You don't understand
    at all, Yukihira-chin!
[16:26] Kuga
    I'm saying that there's no way any
    of us would compete with you at all!
[16:30] Kuga
    The Elite Ten are way more
    important than that!
[16:33] Kuga
    We're totally different
    from normal students!
[16:35] Soma
    Ah...
[16:36] Kuga
    Listen up, Yukihira-chin!
[16:38] Kuga
    The Elite Ten has any and every
    authority that Totsuki has to offer!
[16:43] Kuga
    The ingredients that all the chefs
    around Japan would die for,
[16:47] Kuga
    and the culinary equipment, and the facilities!
[16:48] Kuga
    It doesn't matter how new or expensive!
    We can get our hands on all we want!
[16:52] Kuga
    Ancient culinary texts that
    were carefully preserved,
[16:54] Kuga
    super-rare recipes that only
    had a hundred copies printed...
[16:58] Kuga
    We have access to all of that!
[16:59] Kuga
    That's what it means to be in
    the Totsuki Elite Ten! Got it?!
[17:02] Soma
    Oh, I see. So it's that convenient
    to be in the Elite Ten.
[17:07] Kuga
    It's clear from your use
    of the word "convenient"
[17:09] Kuga
    that you still have no idea
    what I'm talking about!
[17:12] Isshi
    Here, I'll sum it up for you, Soma-kun.
[17:15] Isshi
    Once you're a member of the Elite Ten,
[17:16] Isshi
    you can devote as much time to your studies
[17:18] Isshi
    as you'd like by using the
    authority given to you.
[17:21] Isshi
    You can learn much more, and much faster,
     than with normal studies.
[17:26] Isshi
    And that authority grows the
    higher you go up in rank.
[17:29] Isshi
    Because at this school,
    cooking is everything.
[17:33] Soma
    Yeah, this school is messed up.
[17:37] Tsuka
    Life is too short,
    and culinary knowledge is vast.
[17:42] Tsuka
    You can't learn all of it even if
    you devote your whole life to it.
[17:46] Tsuka
    But in the Elite Ten, you can
    progress through it much faster.
[17:51] Tsuka
    Giving those powerful enough all of the
    authority and fortune they deserve...
[17:54] Tsuka
    That's what Totsuki does.
SIGN    Totsuki
[17:56] Tsuka
    And it's the Elite Ten that
    are given everything.
[18:04] Rindo
    Hey, come on. Let's all have fun today.
[18:08] Rindo
    We've even got a surprise for you guys.
[18:11] Rindo
    Right, Momo?
[18:12] Momo
    Don't drag me into this.
[18:16] Rindo
    Akanegakubo Momo,
    the Fourth Seat of the Elite Ten,
[18:20] Rindo
    made us some tea snacks today.
[18:22] Momo
    It was honestly a huge pain in the butt,
[18:26] Momo
    but I made them because
    you wouldn't shut up.
[18:29] Momo
    Even though it was a huge pain in the butt.
[18:31] Rindo
    Aw, you didn't need to say that
    twice. You're making me blush!
[18:36] Rindo
    All right! If you'd set us up, please!
[18:41] Hisa
    Did you know about this, Erina-sama?
[18:43] Erina
    No, I wasn't informed.
[18:45] Megu
    Um, what kind of cuisine does
    the Fourth Seat specialize in?
[18:48] Erina
    Well, the cuisine Akanegakubo-senpai
    specializes in is Western sweets.
[18:55] Erina
    Her exquisite technique and her keen eye
    for elegance and beauty are unmatched.
[19:01] Erina
    She is the greatest pâtissier
    of this generation at Totsuki.
[19:04] Rindo
    Yeah, pretty much.
[19:07] Rindo
    Don't you wanna taste something that
    the Fourth Seat made for real?
[19:22] Soma
    A maple leaf cake!
[19:24] Taku
    It's absolutely necessary for sweets
    to be pleasing to the eye, too.
[19:27] Taku
    They're so exquisitely clear
    that they resemble glass.
[19:31] Taku
    Those are magnificently prepared candies.
[19:32] Ryo
    So the outside is cranberry.
[19:34] Akira
    This aroma...
[19:36] Akira
    The inside of the cake is cheese mousse.
[19:38] Alice
    Let's eat!
[19:40] Alice
    This is a low-calorie dessert in which
    she had the sugar react with enzymes.
[19:46] Alice
    Oh, it's so vividly delicious.
[19:51] Hisa
    Below the cranberry gelatin
    is cheese mousse,
[19:53] Hisa
    and under that is an apple layer.
[19:55] Erina
    And the hidden ingredients are...
[19:57] Megu
    Blue cheese and walnuts.
[20:00] All
    I've never had a cake like this before!
[20:04] Rindo
    I can never get enough of Momo's sweets.
[20:11] Akira
    The cranberry sauce is the link that brings
    out the best in every ingredient.
[20:15] Ryo
    The sponge cake is being held
    up securely by the walnut base.
[20:20] Mima
    The perfect balance given by the cheese...
[20:23] Mima
    I can't trace it!
[20:25] Soma
    This isn't just some tea confection!
[20:28] Taku
    Within that tiny little cake...
[20:31] Taku
    is a whole new world!
[20:35] Soma
    So this is a dish created by someone who
    fought their way up the ranks at Totsuki...
[20:40] Soma
    This is truly the Elite Ten.
[20:41] Tsuka
    I hope we've helped you understand.
[20:44] Tsuka
    There is a profound difference
    between the abilities of
[20:46] Tsuka
    those who are the Elite
    Ten and those who are not.
[20:48] Tsuka
    This is the undeniable truth.
[20:58] Kuga
    So yeah, that's how it is.
[21:01] Kuga
    I think you've figured out the nuances
    of things, at least a little,
[21:04] Kuga
    but we really, seriously, and absolutely
    don't have any time to waste on you guys.
[21:07] Kuga
    So all of you small fry can keep
    butting heads with each other.
[21:14] Kuga
    But, well, I guess...
[21:16] Kuga
    If, for example, you guys have anything—
    anything at all—
[21:19] Kuga
    cooking-wise that would
    let you guys win over me,
[21:22] Kuga
    I guess I could accept
    a Shokugeki challenge.
[21:24] Nene
    Their height.
[21:25] Kuga
    I said "cooking-wise," bitch!
[21:28] Soma
    Do you mean what you just said, Kuga-senpai?
[21:31] Kuga
    Yup, yup, yup, yup, trust me!
[21:34] Kuga
    I mean, it's never going to happen, but...
[21:37] Kuga
    Anyway, we had our tea,
    so let's get outta here!
[21:41] Eizan
    It's me. Did you get the materials?
[21:43] Eizan
    Good. I'm heading over now.
[21:45] Momo
    I feel like I'm the only one who had to
    work for free, and it really pisses me off.
[21:49] Tsuka
    Oh, thank goodness it's over early.
[21:59] Kuga
    Yeah, I still say we should
    scrap this next year!
[22:05] Gramps
    Continue improving.
[22:07] Gramps
    The more you improve,
[22:09] Gramps
    the more you will shine!
[23:22] Megu
    Soma-kun!
[23:24] Megu
    Were you thinking about the
    Momiji Meet and Greet?
[23:27] Soma
    Yeah.
[23:29] Megu
    Me, too. I was really floored by how
    amazing everyone in the Elite Ten is.
[23:34] Megu
    There's no way I'd ever stand a cha—
[23:36] Soma
    I'm pretty sure that's not true.
[23:39] Soma
    It's true that I'm nowhere near as good
    as the guys in the Elite Ten right now.
[23:44] Soma
    But that doesn't mean I'll never
    be able to win against them.
[23:49] Soma
    Let's keep climbing one step at a time
    up these stairs to get to the Elite Ten.
[23:55] Megu
    Yeah, you're right!
[23:57] Megu
    Though I might only be able to
    take a half-step at a time.
[24:00] Soma
    First, I'm gonna tackle the
    requirements Kuga-senpai gave us.
[24:04] Soma
    I'm gonna find something I can beat him at!
