These are the terms

that the Bookmaster has sent us.
[00:17] Don
I've gathered plenty of supporters.
[00:22] Don
What about you?
[00:24] Taku
I only have one supporter.
My younger brother, Isami Aldini.
[00:31] Old
The Aldini Brothers have been making a name
[00:33] Old
for themselves as the ultimate tag team lately.
[00:36] Glasses
Yes. They even beat the Toro Tuna
Brothers in a Shokugeki.

Grazie!
[00:43] Don
Ah, such wonderful brotherly love.
[00:46] Don
But I wonder if that cute
wittle brother of yours
[00:48] Don
is going to make it.
[00:50] Taku
What?
[00:51] Don
I have a lot of very generous friends, you see...
SIGN No Trespassing
[00:57] Don
Why, they'll do almost anything for me.

[02:36] Megu
We can't seem to find Nakiri-san anywhere.
[02:39] Niku
Yeah.
[02:40] Niku
I'll keep looking. Let's meet
back at Aldini's match venue.
[02:44] Megu
Okay.
[02:45] Kuga
Hey, come on now, Yukihira-chin.
[02:48] Kuga
This is totally a dead end.
[02:49] Soma
Huh? Well, that's weird.
SIGN Danger!!

[02:52] Soma
I followed all the arrows.

This Way
[02:55] Isshi
Well, this is rather suspicious.
[02:57] Soma
I wonder if it's supposed
to be some kind of maze.
[03:00] Kuga
You're way too lax about this, Yukihira-chin.
SIGN Isami Aldini
SIGN I'll go~~
SIGN Today's your
favorite chicken
nanban bento
SIGN Yay~~
SIGN Are you ready?
SIGN How's the venue setup~?
SIGN Don't worry,
I checked everything
SIGN Isami, it's about to start.
Where are you?
SIGN Mm~~
[03:04] Taku
Something's wrong. He hasn't responded.
[03:07] Taku
It's not even marked as read.
[03:13] Taku
Don't tell me...
[03:14] Asahi
That Don Kama... Always pulling
that funny business.
[03:18] Sarge
This match is a team match.
[03:21] Sarge
I'm sure his friends just did it on their own.
[03:24] Don
Well, I guess I should call my supporters.
[03:29] Don
Girls, come on out!
[03:36] Girls
Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting!
[03:40] Guy
Whoa, a whole herd of 'em showed up.
[03:42] Girl
Say, Mama! Can I go shopping
in Ginza tomorrow?
[03:46] Girl
I want some cosmetics.
[03:47] Girl
Oh, my. You'll be even prettier.
[03:51] Don
Oh, I'm sorry they're so rowdy.
[03:53] Don
But they're all really good girls.

Amuse-Bouche Created Through Teamwork
[03:56] Guy
The theme of this match will be an
amuse-bouche created through teamwork.
SIGN Dynamis
[04:02] Guy
The judges will be the WGO adjudicators

SIGN Historie
[04:07] Guy
It appears your support isn't here yet,
but it's now time to begin cooking!
SIGN Tranchant
[04:14] Don
Okay, ladies! Shape up!
It's time to get to work.
[04:18] Girls
Okay, Mama!
[04:20] Don
Now shake that shaker with your body and soul!
[04:25] Girls
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...
[04:29] Girls
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...
[04:33] Sarge
Don Kama... He's as coordinated as ever.
[04:36] Sarge
He's more suited to the theme
of teamwork than anyone.
[04:40] Old
What are they trying to do?
[04:41] Old
This isn't a bar. This is a kitchen.
[04:44] Glasses
Those shakers...
[04:46] Don
The first stage of prep is complete.
[04:49] Don
I'm counting on you girls
to do the next step.
[04:52] Girl
Of course, Mama. Leave it to us.
[04:54] Old
Don't tell me they're trying to
make a sauce with those shakers!
[04:59] Don
What's this? Your wittle brother's not here yet.
[05:03] Don
Do you think he hung you out to dry?
Does that mean I win by default, then?
[05:10] Don
Oh, my. That means my amuse-bouche
is just going to go to waste.
[05:14] Megu
Wha?! How the heck did this happen?!
[05:18] Sarge
This is a rather difficult theme.
[05:21] Sarge
An amuse-bouche is a small dish
served before an appetizer.
[05:25] Sarge
It's normally prepared as a simple little dish.
[05:28] Sarge
But they want it to be something far
more complicated, created as a team.
[05:33] Asahi
True. Usually, it'd be hard
to call that an amuse-bouche.
[05:38] Asahi
I wonder what we're going to see from them.
[05:41] Girls
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...
[05:48] Megu
What should we do?
[05:49] Don
Please, enjoy.
[05:52] His
Is this a verrine?
[05:54] Glasses
A verrine is a kind of small glass.
[05:58] Old
Thus, any savory or sweet dish served
in one is also called a verrine.
[06:03] Sarge
It's particularly well-suited to
layered mousses and sauces,
[06:06] Sarge
to show off their beautiful visuals.
[06:08] Sarge
But their verrine is...
[06:11] Ran
How are there so many layers?!
[06:13] Dyna
There are almost a hundred colors
stacked up in these three glasses!
[06:18] Don
Remember, this is just an amuse-bouche.
[06:21] Don
I'd like you to enjoy these quickly.
[06:23] Don
This glass within ten seconds!
[06:25] Don
This next glass within twenty seconds!
[06:28] Don
And I recommend you finish the
third one within thirty seconds.
[06:32] His
What? How did they even make these?
[06:36] Dyn
It's so beautiful...
[06:38] Dyn
It retains its shape even when
you scoop it with a spoon.
[06:40] Dyn
The layers are all still intact!
[06:47] His
It's raining fruits!
[06:49] Ran
A concerto of fish and herbs!
[06:52] Dyna
And finally, fragrant lamb mousse
and root vegetables in harmony!
[06:57] His
This vibrant and colorful display...
[07:00] Ran
Each glass is making its presence known!
[07:04] Dyna
Raw sea urchin and smoked scallop mousse...
[07:06] Dyna
The perfect accenting layer is always
slipped into the perfect spot.
[07:09] His
It's like this richly colored show of mousses...
[07:12] Girls
...is dancing in our mouths!
[07:16] Don
Yes. I call this dish Onee's Greedy
Little Girl Three-Verrine Set.
[07:21] Don
It manages to charm anyone who eats it.
[07:24] His
It's like I'm experiencing
a glimpse of a show!
[07:26] His
The flavors dance and twirl with both charm
and muscle in a richly seductive show!
[07:31] Ran
And how is this even possible?!
[07:33] Ran
It was so impactful, but as soon as
I swallowed, it was so light!
[07:38] Don
The secret lies within this shaker!
[07:42] His
The inside walls are covered
with deep grooves!
[07:45] Don
Yes. With every shake,
this shaker produces delicate foam.
[07:51] Dyn
That thick, smooth foam coats the tongue
and then melts away in your mouth.
[07:55] Ran
There's impact and satisfaction...
[07:57] Ran
But the aftertaste...
[07:59] Ran
is oh-so-fluffy!
[08:02] Don
Yes! We can't have you getting
full from just the amuse-bouche!
[08:08] Don
That's why I wanted you to taste it
immediately, before the foam melted away,
[08:12] Don
while these verrines were
at their most delicious.
[08:16] Dyn
They've managed to flawlessly
complete the Bookmaster's task!
[08:20] Ran
An amuse-bouche that surpasses the
very concept of an amuse-bouche!
[08:23] His
They managed to make verrines
that could never be created in such
[08:27] His
a short amount of time a reality!
[08:30] His
With absolutely perfect teamwork!
[08:33] Don
So... how could you possibly beat my teamwork?
[08:37] Don
Aldini-kyun!
[08:40] Don
Aw, I'm so sowwy.
[08:42] Don
I forgot you didn't even have any
supporters to teamwork with!
[08:46] Don
Though I don't think you would've stood a chance
[08:48] Don
even if your wittle brother was here.
[08:50] Don
Nothing can defeat the
sauce we create together.
[08:53] Don
There's no way you could
possibly beat our teamwork.
[08:57] Girls
No way! No way!
[08:59] Girls
No way! No way!
[09:01] Girls
No way! No way!
[09:03] Girls
No way! No way!
[09:05] Girls
No way!
SIGN No Trespassing
[09:07] Isami
There were always people who tried
underhanded things at Shokugekis,
[09:12] Isami
but this is the lowest of the low.
[09:15] Isami
Still...
[09:17] Isami
I'm pretty sure this is pointless.
[09:21] Isami
I'm the one who brings out
the best in my big bro,
[09:25] Isami
but the one who comes in second
happens to be at that venue already.
[09:33] Soma
Heya, Takumi.
[09:35] Soma
You seem a bit troubled.
[09:38] Taku
I had no intention of calling you.
SIGN Yukihira Diner
[09:44] Taku
But let's get going.
[09:47] Guy
It's the Yukihira boy!
[09:49] Guy
Who's he?
[09:50] Guy
I think he's the one who
defeated Sarge from Noir.
[09:53] Sarge
Yukihira Soma...
[09:56] Megu
Thank goodness you made it in time.
[09:58] Don
Hang on a second!
[10:00] Don
Did you call him here, ponytail girl?!
[10:05] Don
How dare you interfere like that?!
[10:08] Don
Also, why is your skin so smooth?
With no makeup? And your hair is silky!
[10:12] Don
Who do you think you are, little girl?!
[10:15] Don
Listen up! The Bookmaster sent us here!
[10:20] Don
We were to report our support members before
[10:22] Don
the match began and create
the dish as a team!
[10:24] Don
If you're using a different support
member than the one you reported,
[10:27] Don
I'm pretty sure that's immediate
grounds for disqualification!
[10:31] Girls
Disqualification! Disqualification!
Disqualification! Disqualification!
[10:35] Girls
Disqualification! Disqualification!
Disqualification! Disqualification!
[10:40] Anne
Then let us deliberate.
[10:43] Soma
Oh, hey, Anne-san.
[10:45] Anne
The Bookmaster is observing
everything going on.
[10:50] Mom
Well...
[10:52] Mom
The reason I ordered a teamwork match
[10:55] Mom
was so each contestant could
bring out their full potential.
[10:59] Mom
If that's still possible, the change
in support is a trivial matter.
[11:06] Mom
Therefore, I will allow Takumi Aldini
to change his support member.
[11:14] Anne
That is all.
[11:16] Anne
Adjudicator Tranchant, the floor is yours.

[11:33] Tran
I see... If you're calling this unfair,
[11:36] Tran
we'll have to look into why Isami Aldini
failed to make it to the venue.
[11:41] Girls
So...
[11:43] Don
Blush!
[11:44] Tran
Blush?
[11:45] Don
Hmph! It's not like I'm backing down
because you're so gorgeous or anything.
[11:50] Girls
Oh, I knew it.
[11:52] Girls
He's totally Mama's type.
[11:54] Don
Oh, fine, then!
[11:55] Don
It's not like this little boy acting as
support is going to change anything.
[11:59] Don
Because I know your wittle secret!
[12:02] Don
Any Aldini tag team dish
needs that mezzaluna, and...
[12:07] Don
The only way to bring out the
mezzaluna's full potential is to
[12:11] Don
have both the Aldini Brothers.
[12:15] Meg
That's right, Mimasaka-kun
mentioned before...
[12:18] (Flashback) Mia
Big Bro, Big Bro, Big Bro!
[12:21] (Flashback) Mima
Forno! Accendere! Tritare! Grazie!
[12:25] (Flashback) Mim
Buon appetito!
[12:27] (Flashback) Mima
It's no use... Even my Perfect Trace is
no match for their teamwork right now.
[12:34] (Flashback) Mima
They're at a level that I can't
copy within a day anymore.
[12:37] Megu
That's how strong Takumi-kun
and Isami-kun's bond is.
[12:43] Megu
But I'm sure Soma-kun can...
[12:46] Soma
Hey, you're in my space!
[12:48] Taku
Shut up! We've got limited space!
Quit freaking out over everything!
[12:52] Soma
This line marks my space!
[12:54] Taku
Get real! This is my space!
[12:57] Megu
Maybe I did something I shouldn't have!
[13:01] Taku
No, it's okay. Thanks for
your help, Tadokoro-san.
[13:12] (Flashback) Taku
I'll crush you.
[13:14] (Flashback) Taku
Tritare!
[13:16] (Flashback) Soma
He had hands that looked like
they knew an actual kitchen.
[13:19] (Flashback) Megu
Like Soma-kun...
[13:29] Don
Nope! Not happening!

You'll never make it in time!

You're out of time! You're out of time!
You're out of time! You're out of time!
[13:36] Taku
I don't like the fact that
you'll be using this knife,
[13:39] Taku
but at least try not to hold me back.
[13:41] Soma
Ya jerk! Who else would agree to
use this huge knife of yours?
[13:46] Taku
What did you say?
[13:47] Soma
You got a problem?!
[13:49] Soma
Well, whatever. You know what to do, right?
[13:52] Taku
Of course. We're also...
[13:54] Both
...going to make verrines!
[13:57] Taku
We'll amaze and excite the crowd even
more than your amuse-bouche did!
[14:02] Megu
Right, of course. Those two have...
[14:05] Megu
all those days they spent training!
[14:12] Guy
Look at them go!
[14:14] Woman
My eyes can't keep up!
[14:16] Guy
They're just stuck in top gear!
[14:19] Hist
It's almost like they're dancing!
[14:20] Hist
Their flow shows off their beautiful teamwork!
[14:24] Megu
That's... the Danza Sparda!
SIGN Danza Sparda
[14:28] Megu
That's what Takumi-kun learned
back at his training at Totsuki!
[14:32] Old
It's almost like baton twirling!
[14:34] Old
He's spinning the mezzaluna
at incredible speeds,
[14:36] Old
but precisely chopping the ingredients!
[14:39] Asahi
I see. That's allowing him to cook at
speeds most people could never achieve.
[14:46] Megu
As Takumi-kun is right now,
[14:48] Megu
he can sharply, deeply turbo-charge
his dish's deliciousness!
[14:53] Soma
Tritare!
[14:55] Don
How can he work so well with Yukihira Soma?!
[15:01] Taku
Of course I can.
[15:05] (Flashback) Megu

I think he has another Shokugeki
with Takumi-kun tomorrow.

If you're taking that again, why not
just let Yukihira-kun hold on to it?

Yes, they had Shokugekis over and over.
[16:14] Megu
Takumi-kun and Soma-kun have got this!
[16:16] Taku
Buon appetito!
[16:18] Old
What? Only a single color?
[16:20] Guy
Can that actually be called a verrine?
[16:22] Hist
No, this is...
[16:24] Hist
It's black and white. It's yin and yang.
[16:27] Girl
A verrine split vertically?
[16:30] Girl
It's a complete contrast to his
opponent's dish, but just as beautiful!
[16:33] Ran
I guess I'll try the white side first.
[16:38] Ran
This is an Italian dish that
resembles chawanmushi...
[16:41] Ran
It uses sformato as its base!
[16:43] Taku
Indeed. I sliced up some
onions, then sautéed them,
[16:47] Taku
then blended in fresh
cream and Parmesan cheese,
[16:49] Taku
then added eggs and melted butter,
and then steamed it up into a souffle.
[16:53] Taku
It's a cheese-flavored white sformato.
[16:55] Hist
And the black sformato...
[16:59] Hist
This is... softshell turtle?!
[17:02] Taku
Yes... It's cheese...
[17:03] Soma
...and softshell turtle verrine.
[17:07] Old
Softshell turtle?!
[17:14] Don
How stupid can you two be?
[17:15] Don
Dairy and freshwater turtle meat?
[17:18] Don
You actually combined two completely
different foods with such distinct smells?
[17:21] Don
The most important thing with a verrine
is to savor the various layers together!
[17:28] Don
You're not going to suggest they
eat each layer separately, are you?
[17:32] Taku
Why not taste it for yourself,
[17:35] Taku
Don Kama?
[17:37] Taku
Mix it up all you'd like...
[17:38] Soma
...and have a taste!
[17:48] Don
What?! It tastes so refined!
[17:54] Don
The turtle broth seeps
through and melds together
[17:57] Don
perfectly with the melted butter and cheese!
[18:01] Don
Then they deliciously lap at your tongue!
[18:04] Hist
How could this be?! How do softshell
turtle and cheese go so well together?!
[18:08] Girl
There's something sprinkled on the surface.
[18:10] Taku
Those would be walnuts, sesame,
peanuts and other nuts...
SIGN Kaki-no-Tane
[18:14] Taku
And then...
[18:16] Don
Kaki-no-tane?
[18:18] Meg
That's...
[18:19] Megu
from when Soma-kun battled
Takumi-kun for the first time.
SIGN Kaki-no-Tane
SIGN Kaki-no-Tane
[18:23] Taku
After lightly roasting them to enhance
their aroma, I mixed them into the sformato
[18:28] Taku
and then used the mezzaluna to
[18:30] Taku
chop up all the ingredients to
the perfect length of 0.1mm each.
[18:34] Soma
Way to go, human food processor!
[18:37] Ran
I see. The slight bitterness and
spiciness of the roasted kaki-no-tane
[18:41] Ran
got rid of the pungent smell,
[18:43] Ran
and also brought the two flavors together.
[18:47] Hist
The crunchy texture is so fun that you can
slurp it all down, yet it feels so light.
[18:52] Girl
I've never had such an amuse-bouche before...
[18:54] Rantabi
...in my life!
[18:59] Old
I'm so curious to know how it tastes!
[19:04] Girls
I want to try some!
[19:07] Don
Inconceivable! To bring together flavors
that were never meant to be combined!
[19:13] Don
How could those two pull off
something like that?!
SIGN Takumi Aldini Yukihira Soma
[19:28] (Flashback) Soma
Guess I win, Takumi.
[19:30] (Flashback) Soma
At least for today.
[19:33] (Flashback) Taku
Yeah... I guess you did, Yukihira.
[19:38] Taku
Well, I guess it wasn't a total waste...
[19:41] Taku
All the time we've spent together
since we met, that is.
[19:43] Soma
Huh? Did you say something?
[19:46] Taku
No, don't mind me.
[19:49] Tran
And now, for the deliberation.

Isami! Are you all right?!

Yeah, I'm fine.
[20:05] Kuga
Welp, it's all thanks to me.

I'm glad I brought the martial artists
from the Chinese Cuisine RS with me.
[20:14] Meg
Thank goodness.
[20:16] Soma
Hey, Isami. It was tiring as hell
being on a team with your bro.
[20:20] Isami
Thanks for helping, Yukihira-kun.
[20:22] Soma
But the best partner for
Takumi Aldini is Isami Aldini.
[20:28] Both
Yeah.

You can never break the bond between siblings.

Am I right, Little Sister?

Indeed, Big Brother.
[20:39] Soma
Wait, you guys are siblings?
[20:41] Don
Asahi-sama, please take this.

My work is done.

Please think of me when you use this.
[20:50] Asahi
How admirable.

There's trouble, guys!
[20:59] Niku
It's Erina-sama!
[21:00] Mgu
Huh?
[21:12] Girl
Oh, no!
[21:24] Soma
So the lone chef fighting against all
the losers in the revenge match...
[21:27] Soma
was Nakiri?
[21:29] Taku
She defeated all of them herself?
[21:31] Megu
But why is Nakiri-san the
only one who has to do this?
[21:36] Anne
We just received a report.
[21:38] Anne
Miss Nakiri Erina has defeated all of
the challengers in the revenge match.
[21:43] Anne
I assume you are willing to let her
proceed to the main event now,
[21:46] Anne
Bookmaster.
[21:49] Mom
You're all so disappointing.
[21:52] Mom
You all let a little girl defeat you.
[21:57] Mom
There's no need for the
God Tongue in this tournament.
SIGN Food Wars
SIGN The Fifth Plate
SIGN The God Tongue's Despair
[23:35] Megu
You bad wittle boy!
