[00:11] S
A speech broadcast?
[00:12] T
Yeah, I hear Nakiri Azami's doing that today.
[00:16] I
It's going to be broadcast
live throughout campus.
[00:19] S
Huh.
[00:20] T
I have to say, running away from home
[00:22] T
is a pretty drastic move
on Nakiri Erina-san's part.
[00:25] I
But is it going to work out?
[00:27] I
If they figure out that Polar
Star Dormitory is hiding her...
[00:30] S
Well, I dunno.
[00:33] S
For now, Arato's coming here every day to
drop off stuff like changes of clothes,
[00:37] S
and the other Nakiri and
Kurokiba come visit sometimes,
[00:41] S
but it doesn't look like
they've figured it out.
[00:43] T
That sure sounds like
they've figured it all out!

I-I'm reporting live!

SIGN The Crumbling Academy
[02:52] Sato
Yeah, her shithead father!
[02:54] Marui
He was a former Elite Ten member, too.
[02:57] Azami
I will now speak with you
[02:59] Azami
about the revolution I have planned to
achieve my ideal vision for Totsuki Academy.
[03:05] Azami
First, with regard to our culinary courses,
[03:08] Azami
research groups,
research societies, and clubs,
[03:12] Azami
all such autonomous entities
will be disbanded.
[03:19] Ikumi
What?!
[03:20] Ikumi
Disbanded?!
[03:21] Azami
They will all cease to
exist with no exceptions.
[03:25] Students
What?!
[03:26] Students
Wh-Wh-What is going on?!
[03:29] Azami
Second, I will establish
a new entity on campus.
[03:34] Azami
With the director and the
Elite Ten Council as its leaders,
[03:37] Azami
and my handpicked students as its members,
[03:40] Azami
it will be an organization of elites that
pursue a new vision of gourmet dining.
[03:43] Azami
It will be a divine world where all
gourmet dining will be shared.
[03:49] Azami
Its name shall be Central.
[03:54] M
Central...
[03:55] Azami
All of your cooking will be
determined by Central members.
[04:01] Azami
You will no longer have
to create your own dishes.
[04:05] Azami
It is most unfortunate,
but anyone who disobeys
[04:08] Azami
this edict will have to leave the academy.
[04:12] Stu
That's ridiculous!
[04:13] Stu
Who'd go along with something like this?!
[04:15] Stu
It makes no sense!
[04:17] Azami
Think about it.
[04:19] Azami
There is far greater injustice
in the existing system.
[04:23] Azami
With meritocracy as an excuse,
[04:25] Azami
those who fail are cast aside
[04:27] Azami
despite the fact that different individuals
will learn at different speeds.
[04:31] Azami
Don't you find that barbaric?
[04:34] Azami
All culinary classes will become a
means of conveying Central's teachings.
[04:39] Azami
All students will benefit equally from them.
[04:42] Azami
By that, I mean the skills, ideas,
and recipes worthy of the Elite Ten
[04:47] Azami
will eventually be acquired
by all of you here.
[04:50] Stu
Cooking worthy of the Elite Ten...
[04:52] Azami
What I propose is a world where unnecessary
conflict will no longer be necessary.
[04:56] Azami
No more unnecessary expulsions!
[04:58] Azami
No more unnecessary selections!
[04:59] Azami
No more unnecessary competitions!
[05:01] Azami
You will all be free of them.
[05:04] Azami
Listen, you are not cannon fodder.
[05:08] Azami
You are an important force who
will build Totsuki's future.
[05:13] Azami
Work with me to advance this
nation's gourmet dining.
[05:19] Kabuto
This is preposterous!
SIGN Kabutoyama Tetsuji
Chief of Skewer Research Society
[05:21] Kabuto
We cannot condone such tyranny!
[05:23] Stu
B-But it'd mean we can get a small
piece of what the Elite Ten's got.
[05:28] Stu
Won't that definitely benefit us later on?
[05:32] Kabuto
What're you saying?!
[05:33] Kabuto
We must not bend the knee!
[05:36] Agents
You are Kabutoyama Tetsuji, the chief
of Skewer Research Society, are you not?
[05:39] Agents
We have a message from Central.
SIGN Regional Cooking Research Society
[05:41] Agents
From this day forth, the Regional Cooking
Research Society has been disbanded.
[05:45] Agents
Vacate these premises.
SIGN Don RS
[05:49] Ikumi
Y-You bastards!
[05:51] Ikumi
Get the hell out if you
don't want to get beaten up!
[05:54] Agents
This matter has already been decided.
[05:56] Agents
Professor Miyazato, it would be preferred
if you consider this matter nonnegotiable.
[06:01] Madoka
Oh, no!
[06:03] Madoka
Professor, is Miyazato Research
Group really shutting down?
[06:13] Eizan
Polar Star Dormitory—
the academy's sole housing facility.
SIGN Polar Star Dormitory
[06:18] Eizan
It has always been self-sufficient.
[06:21] Eizan
There is no doubt that it is
also subject to the purge.
[06:25] Eizan
This dormitory will be shut down.
[06:27] Eizan
There is no need for it at Totsuki.
[06:30] Yuki
"No need"?!
[06:32] Marui
Shut Polar Star Dormitory down?
[06:34] Eizan
The buildings and the property
will be confiscated by Central.
[06:39] Eizan
That basically means none of
this will be yours any longer.
[06:42] Aoki
No way in hell!
[06:43] Sato
Assholes!
[06:45] Yuki
What, what?
[06:46] Yuki
Wanna fight?
[06:47] Yuki
Huh, huh?
[06:47] M
Y-Y-Y-Yuki-chan!
[06:48] Ryoko
Hey, where's Isshiki-senpai?
[06:48] M
You can't face them alone.
[06:51] Ryoko
If there's an Elite Ten member here,
[06:53] Ryoko
the academy shouldn't be
able to just run over us—
[06:56] Ibu
Well, he hasn't been back here for a while.
[06:59] Marui
Could Miyazato Research Group
also have been...
[07:01] S
Well, it's a shame to just
stand around talking like this.
[07:04] S
Have some tea before you go, won't you?
[07:08] Ibu
Have?
[07:08] Ryoko
Some?
[07:09] Aoki
Tea?
[07:10] Sato
Before?
[07:10] Marui
You?
[07:11] Yuki
Go?
[07:11] M
Won't you?
[07:15] S
So why does this dorm
gotta get shut down, too?
[07:19] S
I've heard we're basically
like our own little country.
[07:22] S
Does the academy have any
right to interfere with us?
[07:26] Eizen
That's the reason right there.
[07:28] Eizen
It's highly problematic to have autonomous
bodies other than Central at the academy.
[07:33] Eizen
There only needs to be one
decision-making entity.
[07:35] Eizen
Hence our decision.
[07:37] Eizen
These documents specify the timeline
for vacating the premises.
[07:40] Eizen
Anyway, don't worry.
[07:42] Eizen
As long as you toe the line,
[07:44] Eizen
you can keep attending as students here.
[07:46] S
Can I ask you something?
[07:47] S
The decision to shut the dorm down...
[07:50] S
Isn't it still reversible?
[07:53] S
Through a Shokugeki, that is.
[07:55] M
Soma-kun...
[07:57] Eizan
You're right.
[07:59] Eizan
If you initiate and win a Shokugeki,
[08:02] Eizan
you can overturn any decision.
[08:04] Eizan
However, that's if the opponent
accepts the challenge.
[08:08] Eizan
I have zero obligation to
accept a Shokugeki challenge.
[08:11] Eizan
And yet I'm getting flooded by challenges
from almost every organization
[08:17] Eizan
to put a stop to their disbandment.
[08:19] Eizan
What a piece of work.
[08:21] Eizan
I could just ignore them and they'd
all shut down on their own.
[08:25] Eizan
But in consideration of their feelings,
[08:28] Eizan
I decided to accept their challenge.
[08:31] S
Huh.
[08:32] S
You're being real generous,
[08:35] S
accepting challenges you don't have to.
[08:36] Eizan
The opponents will have to take on
a significant risk, too.
[08:40] Eizan
Well, it'll serve as a good
warning to the others.
[08:44] Eizan
I already have one scheduled today.
[08:47] Eizan
If seeing the results won't
discourage you from challenging me,
[08:50] Eizan
you can challenge me all you want, Yukihira.

[09:00] Kabuto
Eizan, I won't let you shut down Skewer RS!
[09:04] Kabuto
The topic is cutlass fish—
[09:06] Eizan
Yeah, I know.
[09:08] Eizan
We must grill the ingredient on a
[09:10] Eizan
skewer at some point in the process.
[09:12] Eizan
Right?
[09:13] Eizan
If you lose, you'll be expelled.
[09:15] Eizan
No objections?
[09:17] Kabuto
Very well.
[09:18] Kabuto
I'll show you the full scope of the
skills I've been honing until this day—
[09:22] Eizan
Stop talking already.
[09:24] Eizan
I'll crush the best dish you've got!
[09:27] Eizan
Just give it your all.
[09:30] Host
Then let the Shokugeki...
[09:32] Eizan
...begin!
[09:36] Ryoko
It's begun.
[09:37] Sato
Don't lose, Skewer RS!
[09:39] Aoki
It's not over!
[09:40] Yuki
Yeah, it's not over yet!

As long as they win...
[09:44] Madoka

We're not gonna give up!
[09:48] Ikumi
We still have...
SIGN Shokugeki

Eizan-senpai doesn't look
focused on his cooking at all.
[09:59] S
Something's off.
[10:01] S
I doubt the other research societies
and research groups will back down
[10:05] S
even if Eizan-senpai wins
this match by a huge margin.
[10:09] S
Why'd Eizan-senpai say it'd be
a good "warning," then?

though neither dish has been tried.
[10:37] Kabuto

[10:38] Kabuto
You... You can't have...

[10:43] Eizan
Too bad for you!
[10:47] Host
It's been decided!
[10:49] Host
Skewer RS will be disbanded!
[10:51] Kabuto
Wait a second, Eizan!
[10:53] Kabuto
You bought the judges?!
[10:55] Kabuto
You can't be serious!
[10:56] Kabuto
This Shokugeki can't be legitimate!
[10:58] Kabuto
Who'd accept that?!
[10:59] Eizan
Farewell, Kabutoyama!
[11:05] Eizan
You are being expelled!
[11:08] Kabuto
Impossible...
[11:11] Eizan
Totsuki is not what it used to be.
[11:15] Yuki
What the hell?! That's cheating!
[11:16] Sato
So the judges are all in on it?
[11:18] Ryoko
Even our last resort, the Shokugeki is now...
[11:20] Aoki
That Eizan's rotten to the core!
[11:23] Chief
Even the judges have all turned on us.
[11:27] Madoko
They won't even judge us on taste.
[11:29] Ikumi
If the match won't be fair, then...
[11:32] Ibu
The outcome is the same whether
you have a Shokugeki or not.
[11:36] Marui
Either way,
Polar Star Dormitory is finished?!
[11:41] Sato
N-N-N-No way!
[11:43] Aoki
Our home's gonna be shut down!

What should we do?

[12:29] Kage
What do you want?
[12:30] Eizan
Oh, I'm just here to confirm something.
[12:34] Eizan
I'd heard more than a hundred Shokugeki
challenges had been submitted against me.
[12:39] Eizan
How are things now?
[12:44] Kage
They were all... canceled!
[12:49] Eizan

I was fine accepting any

[13:45] Marui
Yeah.

The other organizations
have received notices, too.

Unfortunately, it's impossible
to make them rescind the order.

Are we really losing the dorm?

Sounds like it...

Yeah. Thinking back, so much stuff happened.

Fumio-san's dormitory entrance exam!
[14:57] Yuki
I was so surprised at first.

It took me three months to get in here,
[15:02] M
but Fumio-san let me stay
in the storage shed.

Seriously?!
[15:07] S
That's a shocker.
[15:09] Yuki
Megumi, you're tougher than

[15:14] Yuki
Then I guess Yukihira transferred
in when we got to high school.

You still don't grasp the situation or what?

All the judges are on my side.
[17:37] Eizan
Forget about winning or losing—they won't
even taste a single bite of your food.
[17:41] Eizan
It's a guaranteed expulsion the moment
you climb into the ring, okay?
[17:45] Eizan
Despite all that, did you just say
you're challenging me to a Shokugeki?
[17:49] S
Yeah.

What, did your dorm buddies
come crying to you for help?

I can get that you might want to
play the good Samaritan,

but I wouldn't recommend it.

It's not for my dorm mates or anything.

Well, you know, it's been real hectic.

thanks to Nakiri Azami's revolution,

so the Elite Ten are swamped with
paperwork and administrative duties.
[20:19] Rindo
We've been working nonstop!
[20:21] S
Huh.
[20:22] Rindo
Well, I gave all my work to Tsukasa.
[20:25] S
Huh?
[20:26] Rindo
Huh?
[20:31] S
Well, I'm going to go prep.
[20:32] S
I'll borrow the back kitchen.
[20:45] Judge
I didn't think anyone'd still issue a
[20:47] Judge
Shokugeki challenge after seeing
what happened yesterday.
[20:50] Judge
Whoever it is must be quite the fool.
[20:53] Judge
Let's just taste Eizan-dono's
cooking and call it a day.
[20:57] Eizan
Do as you wish.
[20:58] Eizan
I'm counting on you all
for today's "evaluation."
[21:01] Judge
Of course.
[21:02] Judge
See you later.
[21:03] Rindo
Too bad, eh, Eizan?
[21:07] Rindo
What you were really trying to
do with that "example" yesterday
[21:10] Rindo
was crush Yukihira Soma's spirit, right?
[21:14] Rindo
Instead, Yukihira is rising to the challenge.
[21:18] Eizan
Hmph.
[21:20] Rindo
Well, don't let it get to you.
[21:21] Rindo
It just means he's that tough.
[21:26] Eizan
Are the preparations complete?
[21:28] Eizan
Good, follow instructions.
[21:33] Host
Both opponents to your
respective cooking counters!
[21:45] Ibu
What's that?
[21:48] Eizan
By the way, I neglected to mention
[21:50] Eizan
that my subordinates are headed to
Polar Star Dormitory this second
[21:55] S
Huh.
[21:57] S
Did you need something there?
[21:59] Eizan
I'd informed you all that the deadline for
vacating the dorm is ten days from now,
[22:03] Eizan
but the schedule got sped up just a tiny bit.
[22:06] Eizan
It's quite unfortunate, really.
[22:09] Eizan
But there's going to be an eviction
at the Polar Star Dormitory.
[22:12] Eizan
We will be doing that today.
[22:17] Eizan
Now, on to the Shokugeki.
[22:20] Eizan
You have three hours to finish cooking.
[22:22] Eizan
By the time this match is over,
[22:24] Eizan
the dormitory will be empty.
[22:26] Eizan
All that will be waiting when you get back
[22:28] Eizan
are your friends' crestfallen faces.
[22:31] Eizan
Let's make this a good match, eh?
