So the lone chef fighting against all
the losers in the revenge match...
**[00:06] Soma**
was Nakiri?
**[00:11] Niku**
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.
**[00:33] Asahi**
Be sure to make things exciting.
**[00:38] Erina**
I will get to you...
**[00:40] Erina**
No matter what.

And now for the tasting.
***SIGN*** Nakiri Erina
**[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.

of seasonings, one for each
of the five basic flavors.

A little girl like you stands no chance.
**[05:05] Mask**
Now, come taste your defeat!
Squeal like the pig you are!

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

**[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.
**[10:20] Ran**
We'll be holding two matches
simultaneously in this venue.

**[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**

**[12:28] (Flashback) Erina**
Understood?
**[12:30] Megu**
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.

* I'm pretty sure he was from*

I have the knife he was using right

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.

**[18:19] Ran**
*The rain of meat juices and umami...*
**[18:22] All**
*...comes pouring down on me!*
**[18:28] Ran**
But how can this be?

This umami... It's like he somehow
raised the quality of the beef itself.
**[18:34] Lady**
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*** Sour
***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.

The winner is Saiba Asahi!
***SIGN*** Tadokoro Megumi Saiba Asahi
**[20:22] Guy**
That was brutal...
**[20:24] 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.

You won't be able to make Nakiri happy.
