So the lone chef fighting against all

was Nakiri?

Erina-sama!
[00:14] Megu
Nakiri-san, are you okay?
[00:16] Erina
I'm fine.
[00:18] Anne
Next, Miss Nakiri Erina, please head to
the first match venue for the main event.
[00:24] Niku
Erina-sama...
[00:27] Asahi
Looks like most of the outside chefs are out.
[00:30] Asahi
You guys will be participating
in the main event.

[02:26] Lady
The winner is Nakiri Erina-sama.
[02:29] Asahi
He didn't even stand a chance.
[02:32] Asahi
Well done, Princess Erina.
[02:34] Megu
Nakiri-san!
[02:37] Erina
You need to concentrate on winning yourselves!
[02:40] Erina
Understood?
[02:45] Taku
Something's wrong.
[02:47] Taku
Though I guess I can't blame her
after what she just went through.

SIGN Tadokoro Megumi-sama,
SIGN This is a notification of your
1st match at the main event
[02:53] Megu
It's my turn.
[02:57] Ran
And now, this will be the final
match held in this venue today.
[03:03] Ran
Allow me to introduce our chefs.
[03:05] Ran
The tenth seat from the Totsuki Elite Ten,
[03:08] Ran
Tadokoro Megumi!
[03:11] Ran
And her opponent...
[03:13] Ran
One of the elite from Noir... Huang Zuiwang.
SIGN Huang Zuiwang
vs
Tadokoro Megumi
[03:18] Niku
According to Eizan-senpai's intel,
[03:20] Niku
he's one of the most
menacing chefs from Noir.
SIGN Huang Zuiwang
[03:24] Asahi
Hey, Tadokoro-san.
[03:26] Asahi
I'm almost surprised you
made it to the main event.
[03:28] Asahi
But I guess you did place first
at the BLUE preliminaries.
[03:31] Asahi
Hey, Huang Zuiwang.
You're up against a girl here.
[03:33] Asahi
Make sure you're not too rough with her.
[03:36] Mask
As you wish.
[03:38] Soma
The hell's up with those claws?
[03:40] Taku
So those are the masked guy's cooking utensils?
[03:43] Ran
The theme is "meals in a flash."
SIGN Meals in a Flash
[03:46] Ran
You'll have fifteen minutes
to complete your dish.
[03:49] Ran
And now... begin!
[03:52] Mask
And now I will show you the
Huang Clan technique...
[03:55] Mask
The ultimate dish prepared
by the Claws of Black Death!
[03:59] Issh
The deciding factor will be how much
they can enhance flavors in 15 minutes.
[04:04] Soma
He's got some talent.
[04:06] Soma
He's cutting the tendons in
the meat with those claws?
[04:08] Niku
That's not the half of it.
[04:10] Tran
He is from a long line of assassins in China,
[04:14] Tran
stretching back to the Nanboku-chou period.
[04:17] Ran
What?! Assassins?
[04:18] Tran
Using the toxic components of plants, fish,
[04:22] Tran
and bugs in their assassination techniques,
[04:24] Tran
his family influenced Chinese
history from the shadows.

Well, damn, that was over in an instant.
[05:28] Taku
Excellent work, Tadokoro-san.
[05:30] Asahi
Well, well. I guess she's not half bad.
[05:36] Megu
Nakiri-san...
SIGN The Next Morning
[05:41] Isa
So you weren't able to see
Nakiri-san after that?
[05:46] Niku
No.
[05:46] Megu
I was hoping to talk to her
at least a little bit.
[05:49] Taku
I'm worried.
[05:50] Taku
Arato-san, who's always been there to
support her, doesn't seem to be here, either.
[05:54] Soma
Why the heck does Nakiri get to fight so much?
[05:57] Soma
I wanna compete more, too!
[06:00] Megu
Ah, so that's what's bugging you.
[06:02] Soma
The most important person in the WGO
is that Bookmaster person, right?
[06:06] Soma
They're up in the castle keep?
[06:08] Soma
I'm gonna go have a word or two with them!
[06:10] Taku
Yukihira, wait!
[06:24] Megu
Soma-kun, let's head back!
[06:27] Soma
Ooh, is that it?
[06:31] Erina
It appears that you've failed
[06:33] Erina
in your attempts to eliminate me.
[06:37] Erina
Grandfather told me you disapproved
of my entering this tournament.
[06:42] Mom
Why are you complaining when you
clearly won the revenge matches?
[06:49] Erina
I cannot make your wish come true.
[06:52] Erina
You have no use for the
God Tongue... Is that it,
[06:56] Erina
Mother?
[07:00] Mom
Raise the bamboo blinds.
[07:01] Anne
Yes, ma'am.
SIGN WGO Bookmaster
Nakiri Mana
[07:10] Mom
It's been a while, Erina.
[07:14] Niku
That's Erina-sama's...
[07:15] Megu
...mother?!
[07:18] Mom
I see that you've hit your prime.
[07:21] Erina
You just sit there and watch
[07:23] Erina
as I win the BLUE.
[07:26] Mom
Oho?
[07:28] Erina
I, Erina, will show you the
true power of my God Tongue!
[07:34] Erina
Farewell, Mother.
[07:37] Erina
No, Lady Bookmaster.
[07:47] Erina
You were here?
[07:51] Anne
All of you! You're not allowed to
be in here without permission!
[07:55] Mom
What's the harm? Invite them in.
[08:01] Mom
Anne... I am out of nutrients.
[08:04] Mom
Hurry... Hurry and bring me the usual...
[08:06] Anne
Y-Yes, immediately!
[08:08] Mom
Remember... Make sure it doesn't hurt!
[08:11] Mom
Do this properly!
[08:12] Anne
Yes, don't worry.
[08:16] Anne
Glucose, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes...
[08:20] Anne
I can feel the nutrients flowing through me.
[08:23] Mom
There's definitely something about
domestic IVs that makes them better.
[08:27] Taku
What... What exactly are we watching?
[08:29] Soma
No clue. I did figure out
that she's a weirdo, though.
[08:33] Megu
Um... Are you not feeling well?
[08:36] Mom
This is my meal. There's nothing to worry about.
[08:40] Soma
Your meal?
[08:41] Mom
But I will still get some rest.
[08:44] Mom
I am pleased that I got to see
Erina's school friends up close.
[08:49] Mom
Have them take their leave, Anne.
[08:50] Anne
As you wish.
[08:52] Mom
Ah, and you, the young man with the blue eyes.
[08:56] Mom
Takumi Aldini, was it?
[08:58] Mom
Your next opponent shall be Erina.
[09:04] Mom
If you and your younger
brother would both like
[09:06] Mom
to go up against her, I would not oppose it.
[09:08] Taku
What?
[09:09] Mom
Do whatever it takes to defeat the God Tongue.
[09:11] Mom
She's unnecessary to me.
[09:18] Megu
Why did Nakiri-san's mother
say something like that?
[09:21] Anne
The public doesn't know that
they're mother and daughter.
[09:25] Anne
The reason Mana-sama has
kept her identity secret
[09:28] Anne
is because she also possesses
the God Tongue.
[09:34] Anne
Her God Tongue made her
desire gourmet to no end
[09:37] Anne
until she came to completely despair at flavor.
[09:40] Anne
And because of that,
she became unable to eat food,
[09:43] Anne
and has been taking her nutrients through an IV.
[09:48] Anne
That is also why she left the Nakiri family.
[09:51] Anne
I heard that she left Erina-sama
when she was still quite young.
[09:56] Sarge
Asahi-sama, the next match
cards have been revealed.
[10:00] Asahi
Yes, I've been notified.
[10:03] Asahi
I'll be going up against the one who took
first place at the BLUE preliminaries...
[10:08] Asahi
Tadokoro Megumi.
[10:13] Lady
Please wait as we finish our preparations.
[10:17] Lady
The second round is about to begin.

We'll be holding two matches
simultaneously in this venue.

SIGN Tadokoro Megumi
[10:24] Isshi
I know who to cheer on for
Tadokoro-chan's match,
[10:27] Isshi
but I'm sort of conflicted about
Takumi-kun and Nakiri-kun.
[10:33] Niku
That's not funny!
[10:35] Isshi
Sorry, my bad.
[10:36] Isami
Big Bro...
[10:39] Taku
To uphold the Aldini name,
I'm going to have to...
[10:46] Megu
What I have to do...
[10:48] Megu
Something only I can do...
[10:52] Asahi
Well, well. You look like you're
in a foul mood, Princess Erina.
[10:56] Asahi
You're ruining your beautiful face.
[10:58] Asahi
You're making your future husband sad.
[11:01] Erina
Are you done with your nonsense?
[11:03] Asahi
Hey, now. Are you sure you want
to be that cold toward me?
[11:08] Asahi
The only one who can make your wish
come true is me, Saiba Asahi.
[11:13] Erina
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[11:16] Asahi
A hero with powers beyond the God Tongue.
[11:19] Asahi
That's what you and your
mother both want, isn't it?
[11:23] Erina
How do you know about my mother?
[11:25] Asahi
I did my research. That's exactly
why I need to win the BLUE.
[11:30] Asahi
What the Bookmaster desires
isn't the God Tongue.
[11:33] Asahi
She wants my cooking.
[11:34] Erina
Don't be ridiculous! I'm going
to come out on top at this BLUE!
[11:38] Erina
And I'm going to be the one who creates
a dish for my mother unlike any before!
[11:43] Erina
This isn't your place!
[11:45] Erina
Now if you'll excuse me!
[11:48] Asahi
You should be more honest with yourself.
[11:51] Asahi
What's this?
[11:52] Asahi
Eavesdropping on our private conversation?
[11:56] Asahi
You seemed so tame,
but that's pretty bold of you!
[11:59] Megu
Huh? Well, I, uh...
[12:02] Megu
I do apologize for eavesdropping.
[12:04] Megu
But please stop hurting Nakiri-san like that.
[12:07] Asahi
That's between the princess and me.
[12:09] Asahi
It's none of your concern.
[12:13] Asahi
Come on. The match is about the start.

SIGN Megumi
[12:26] (Flashback) Erina

Understood?

Compete in a Shokugeki with me!
[12:33] Megu
If I win, please stop hurting Nakiri-san!
[12:37] Asahi
Oh?
[12:39] Asahi
I forgot. Are we allowed to
just randomly hold Shokugekis?
[12:42] Asahi
Wasn't there some management
involved or something?
[12:44] Megu
Huh? Well, I...
[12:46] Asahi
But sure. That's fine.
[12:48] Asahi
I'll accept your challenge.
[12:50] Asahi
But if you lose, you stop being
Princess Erina's friend.
[12:56] Asahi
Got it?
[12:58] Taku
I'm honored that I get to have an
official match with you, Nakiri-san.
[13:01] Erina
Are you sure you don't need your brother?
[13:04] Taku
That's unnecessary.

[13:11] Taku
That's exactly why I'm honored to take you on.

Do you remember the chef you
defeated back at the hot springs?
[13:38] Megu
I'm pretty sure he was from
the southern part of the US...
[13:41] Asahi
I have the knife he was using right
here... Let's see, where is it?
[13:46] Asahi
Oh, here it is!
[13:48] Asahi
He's actually a member of Noir, too.
SIGN Noir
Monarch
[13:51] Asahi
His name is Monarch.
[13:52] Asahi
He used super expensive ingredients.
SIGN Southern-Style Lunch Plate
[13:55] Asahi
Though I guess Monarch was no match for you.
[14:00] Soma
He was a member of Noir, too?
[14:02] Asahi
And this is Huang Zuiwang's
Claw of Black Death.
[14:08] Asahi
I'm going to use these two blades
that were clearly no match for you
[14:12] Asahi
and put on a little show...
[14:17] Lady
And in Hall A, your ingredient will be lamb.
[14:21] Lady
And now...
[14:22] Rantab
...both Halls...
[14:23] Both
...begin cooking!
[14:34] Soma
Tadokoro's theme reminds me of the
convenience store theme in the prelims.
[14:38] Niku
Turning super saver meat into a gourmet
dish... That's perfect for Megumi!
[14:43] Megumi
I learned a lot about local cuisine and
homestyle cuisine from around the world,
[14:47] Megu
and I learned techniques to make even
cheap ingredients into a gourmet dish.
[14:51] Megu
I can make the most out of my
experience with this theme.
[14:55] Megu
I have to win, no matter what,
so I can stay friends with Nakiri-san.

Erina-sama...
[15:36] Taku
She looks so serious and stern.
[15:40] Taku
It's like she's a completely different person.
[15:43] Taku
We need to get her back to normal.
And the perfect dish to do that is...
[15:55] Isami
Amazing...
[15:57] Isami
As soon as they ate Nakiri-san's dish...

All the judges were knocked out!

If you want to know how powerless you are,
[16:05] Erina

SIGN Nakiri Erina Takumi Aldini
[17:22] Guy
She's terrifying...

Absolutely amazing.

She's definitely the God Tongue...
[17:32] Erina
My dish...
[17:34] Erina
True, it's well-made gourmet...
[17:36] Erina
But I cannot call it something
that hasn't been tasted before.
[17:41] Erina
I can't live up to my title
of God Tongue like this.

She won, but she doesn't seem happy at all.
[17:48] Niku
Yeah...
SIGN Nakiri Erina Takumi Aldini
[17:53] Ran
No way, this can't be...

You can actually make super saver
meat this fragrant?
[17:58] Ran
The meat looks so hearty!
[18:00] Lady
This roast beef looks absolutely amazing.
[18:02] Asahi
Go ahead. Dig in.
[18:10] Lady
The sweet fragrance of herbs
and scorched straw...
[18:14] Lady
The flavors are so complex,
I can't help but squirm!
[18:17] Guy
The more I chew...

This umami... It's like he somehow
raised the quality of the beef itself.

Yes. It's like a premium cut
of the highest-quality beef
[18:38] Lady
that's been delicately aged to perfection.
[18:40] Asahi
The Claws of Black Death.
[18:43] Asahi
When you age beef, the protein
in the red meat breaks down
[18:47] Asahi
into umami flavor components,
such as amino acids.
[18:51] Asahi
These claws are laced with all
kinds of secret umami components.
[18:56] Asahi
Of course, in order to
raise the quality of the beef
SIGN Salty

SIGN Umami
[18:59] Asahi
as if it had been aged for two months,
SIGN Bitter
[19:01] Asahi
I need the perfect combination.
SIGN Sweet
[19:05] Asahi
And then, I perfectly prepared the meat
that I had turned into a luxury ingredient,
[19:10] Asahi
using my Crossed Knives!
[19:13] Niku
I-Is that even possible?
[19:15] Isami
Really?
[19:17] Asahi
I think I sort of remember some duo
panicking to make a verrine the other day.
[19:23] Asahi
But if it were me, I could use the
mezzaluna even closer to perfection.
[19:27] Asahi
I can make a dish that can
far surpass that one.
[19:30] Asahi
I wouldn't even have to waste
blood, sweat, and tears on it.
[19:35] Guy
And now, we have Tadokoro Megumi's dish.
[19:39] Megu
Please enjoy...
[19:44] Lady
It's so amazingly delicious!
[19:46] Ran
It's so gentle!
[19:48] Guy
And it's filled with such hospitality!
[19:52] Guy
She raised the flavor of this
super saver beef as high as it can go!
[20:02] Asahi
But due to the Crossed Knives, I was able
to double the quality of the meat itself!
[20:08] Asahi
Which means I basically shattered the
highest level it could've gone to before!
[20:12] Guy
Her dish cannot compete with
such an explosion of flavor.
SIGN Tadokoro Megumi Saiba Asahi
[20:18] Sign
The winner is Saiba Asahi!
SIGN Tadokoro Megumi Saiba Asahi
[20:22] Guy

He might actually surpass Nakiri Erina.
[20:26] Lady
He's absolutely the best.
[20:28] Guy
He may just win the whole thing.
[20:30] Asahi
I'm sure you're watching
somewhere, Bookmaster.
[20:33] Asahi
So what'd you think of my powers?
[20:36] Asahi
The knife combination
possibilities are infinite.
[20:38] Asahi
I have the full potential to make
something you've never tasted before!
[20:42] Asahi
I'm the perfect candidate to
take the top at the BLUE!
[20:46] Ran
Hey! Watch how you speak to her!
[20:48] Ran
She's the top of WGO!
[20:50] Asahi
By the way, there's something
I want when I win.
[20:54] Asahi
I figured I should get your permission.
[20:58] Asahi
I think you know what I'm saying.
[21:01] Ranta
Hey! Stop that!
[21:02] Mom
It was this chef, wasn't it?
The one who was pursuing Erina.
[21:08] Anne
Yes.
[21:09] Mom
Do as you please.
[21:11] Mom
Whoever has the potential to
produce the dish I desire
[21:14] Mom
shall be rewarded graciously.
[21:22] Mom
Saiba Asahi, I have high hopes for you.
[22:48] Asahi
Well? That was a great demonstration, wasn't it?
[22:52] Asahi
Looks like your mom took a liking to me.
[22:55] Erina
I told you. That's all going to
be pointless as soon as I win.
[23:00] Asahi
And this is what broke Nakiri Mana.
[23:04] Asahi
What she needs is a different power.
[23:07] Asahi
Otherwise, you can't make
the dish that she desires!
[23:11] Asahi
Didn't you hear the crowd out there?
[23:13] Asahi
Everyone's certain that I'll win!
[23:15] Asahi
If you think someone objects,
I'd love to meet them.
[23:19] Asahi
You will not be the chef
who becomes her savior.
[23:23] Asahi
It's me.
[23:26] Soma
Hey, yeah, so...
[23:28] Soma
I'd like to object.
SIGN Food Wars
SIGN The Fifth Plate
SIGN Surpassing Dad
[23:35] Soma
You won't be able to make Nakiri happy.
[23:38] Megu
Surpassing Dad!
