Just read the new chapter!!! That Erina/Hisako fanservice!!!

Hmmm....certainly an intereesting development, this would have to be Souma's loss right? And a ploy to get him in with the Elite ten. The mangaka knows no one will buy him willingly joining so it has to be a forced issue. However at the same time this could be a ploy to get the first seat to change his views, and be more open to other peoples cooking.
I can't see the number one seat losing, it just wouldn't make sense for Souma to get enough of a power-up to be capable of winning.
Well either way it's interesting to see how this pans out. On a side note it was good to see Erina back to her old self again, I was getting annoyed with her behaviour this past few weeks if i'm honest, to a point I was starting to root for Megumi more than her, though I will say Hisako, Alice and Rindo have surpassed her as my favourite female charactors.
Its an interesting twist of events for sure but depending of how its gonna go I'm not so sure its a good development if Soma joins central bc as everyone said there is just no way in hell he beats Tsukasa. I feel if that happens it will go against the plot which is Soma being the leader of the resistance and saving Tootsuki and Erina, also I don't see him progress in central as most say as it would also go against his views on them and what they're fighting for but if it does that means Azami was right and the manga will be in a huge mess, I think it will create just an unnecessary drama.
The way I see it there's only two options in here : 1. Soma loses but somehow doesn't join central (which it might be an asspull) or 2. Someone like (Erina & Hisako) interrupting the Shokugeki . I have no problem with Soma losing and getting some necessary development as well as Eishi from this fight (like you said maybe for Soma to change his views with his way of cooking and see more of Eishi's cooking with this fight) but joining central is a big NO NO for me.
Yeah seeing more of the Old Erina and getting some development that she desperately needed was a breath of fresh air, she's finally starting to think with her own head and finding her own way what she really wants do so that was good, its a slow buildup but I don't mind that much , Alice is definitely one of my favorites though I just love her character XD.
