Soy sauce in a dessert, dead.

 

Momo is such an uninteresting character I gotta say. Her background was completely unnecessary.

 

Which is strange when you think that she looked like the more interesting characters when she was first introduced, but it felt like they decided to do a full 180 with her character when she was properly introduced and gone was the possibly shy introvert, who maybe had a interesting story behind her choose sweets as a path, and in her place was pretty much a spoilt brat who has the cute eye version of Erina's Gods Tongue. I think maybe someone got the bright idea of making her one of those twitter/instagram celebs and they didn't quite get the appeal of these celebs and the character fell flat. (or maybe she is popular and it's just I don't understand these Twitter/Instagram celebs and instantly dislike her for it.)

 

Well this weeks chapter was interesting, specially interesting was Erina's dish, she took Megumi's dish and made it better, and correct me if I'm wrong didn't Souma make Souffle during the egg breakfast challenge? Coincident? I think not.

So Erina combine her western style dishes with Megumi hiding a secret taste in the dish, and Souma homemade Japanese food with a twist.

 

So Momo went into cook because she feels that she her cutest when she baking.

While we wait for a better translation and higher quality upload. This will make Souma/Erina fans smile, I guess the Erina/Megumi fans if there are any will also enjoy the chapter, The Yukihira family motto has gotten the seal of approval, now we just need to know if the Original Souma version or the tweaked Erina version will be passed on to the future generations.

Nene/Ishiki vibes are strong in this weeks chapter, straight laced serious by the book girl who gives it her all and walks around naked, easy going genius who doesn't get out of second gear most of the time, should make for an interesting couple. Don't know who'd have a more difficult time Erina keeping Souma in line or Nene keeping Ishiki in line.

 

Ishiki is still going to lose though.

He is fated to lose since he up against the first seat, and the final round will either be next round between Souma & Erina vs the top two seats, or Souma vs first seat the round after. This is part of what makes this arc so boring is that it is completely predictable.

 

Tsukasa specialty is french cooking, because if the food isn't Japanese in this manga there is 99% chance that it will be french cooking or have french elements in it. Can they find another culture's food to start using in this manga?... Beside the Italian cooking of Takumi.

Not surprised that Isshiki used Nene as his motivation for cooking. I suspect that since he was young, he was already better than cooks twice his age and Isshiki held a lot of contempt against those who gave up so easily against him. Not to mention that he took to cooking high-level dishes so easily, which eventually bored him. This is why Isshiki held Nene in high regard because she was the only one who never gave up. She might be a slow learner, but that's why he envied her of sorts.

Thanks to the prodigy label pushed on him, he had to live up to high expectations, like Saiba did. This is probably why he's so laid-back and never gets serious about showing his skills. I think Isshiki also knew Nene would be his equal someday, even if it was far in the future. This is likely the main reason why he broke off ties with his family. I'm definitely guessing that an arranged marriage between those two were underway, but given how much he appreciates Nene, he knows that this would be detrimental to her growth.

I imagine that some people would've heard these rumors except Nene. Erina might've heard about it, and Kuga seems to be someone who would know from a casual conversation between him and Isshiki. I could imagine him accidentally spilling the truth to Kuga.

The family that couldn't be.

Yeah I think it's safe to say the consultant they use specialises in French Cuisine, We are supposed to believe that the main ingredients are randomly picked out, yet every battle has suited the Elite 10, Nene just so happens pick Soba noodles, Momo managed to get a desert ingredient in both her matches and now  Eishi just so happens to pick Rabbit a game meat, something we know he is a master in, and happens to favour french cuisine.

 

Also notice that Souma's past experience will help him in his no doubt upcoming battle with Eishi, he's been taught french techniques from his father and also spent time doing his exams at a French restaurant, he's had to learn how to cook game meat in his rematch with Hayama, and he's not only tried Eishi's dish before he's also had a battle with him before...Souma would be going into the battle better armed than he has ever been.

Sad how predictable the outcome is. Oh well, I've learned to just appreciate the backstories more in these battles. None of the Elite 10 ones really were compelling though besides Nene's.

Yeah that's what I mean. We know the out come so just enjoy how the characters are fleshed out. But not all characters (the elite 10 in particular) are going to have interesting, heartbreaking or complex back stories. Not all of the MCs or PSD members have that either do they? And does that make them bad characters? Not at all. So it is the same thing with the elite 10

That's a good point I haven't considered. I personally expected more interesting back stories b/c I expected them to justify why they chose the rebel side... I still don't really know why, but I just realized it was plot convenience, lol.

I expect this week will include a complete drumming of Ishiki (last weeks wasn't even interesting enough to comment on, was expecting more from how Ishiki was inspired by Nene) and maybe if we are lucky Rindou will destroy Takumi offscreen and we can get ready for (the lets be honest here) the main reason we've endured this bleedin arc so far, and that is finally seeing Souma and Erina tag-teaming the current power couple.

Pretty much what this arc is, lmfao. Only good thing for me in this arc was Erina.

And crap, I completely forgot Takumi. Good gosh, we've been having these battles since last year or so.

Well this weeks chapter went as expected, though it does make me think we'll be seeing another flashback with the first seat and maybe how Rindou joined him when the battle between Souma and/or Erina takes place.

 

On a bit of a side note, anyone who has watched the anime is it worth watching? I just saw clips of the last episode in season three, and saw Megumi with Erina and Hisako, and having not watched the rest of the season, this does has me worried J.C Staff are at their usual antics and are trying to push Megumi/Souma onto us, and trying to influence the direction of the manga like they did with Naruto. also any news if Risa Tanade returning to voice Erina or if it will remain the current VA,

imo the anime adaptation is pretty faithful to the manga storyline

Watched a few more parts of it, and feels like they've rushed through the content (I think the covered something like 50 chapters),  the animation is subpar for allot of scenes, and I just can't get used to the new VA for Erina, I like the her other roles, but they got the perfect VA to voice Erina that it's hard to imagine anyone else.

 

Well atleast it's heck of allot better than Season 2, I'm surprised a third and fourth season got green lit after the mess they made of that season.

Yeah but Erina's new VA can't be helped. I think Risa Taneda was still on treatment when season 3 aired. Hopefully it will be Taneda again for  the second half of season 3 since want to hear her voice when Erina starts to be warmer towards Soma lol.

Yeah I know, Though Risa has made a return to VA she didn't make it back in time for season three , and I'm not sure if her health is good enough to manage a full season as the MAin female lead.

 

Well this weeks chapter just went as screwed everything up, unless it's a bid to skip over whatever the direction the story will take to show Azami how he is wrong about his way of thinking....though I don't like how it's done. Pretty much just pissed me off, it hasn't raised the stakes in my opinion, as the reaction would not be great if Souma and crew lost due to this after enduring a painfully dull arc for over two year.

 

My biggest issue right now is that I have once this arc is over, the manga will have Azami be all buddy buddy  with Jouchirou and act like he's a great father and a good portion of the reader base will eat it up, Naruto has shown us a absent father, multiple mass murderers are all treated as heroes, because they changed their views slightly, but not really earned it, and a good portion of the reader base end up singing heir praises.
