(L) Shokugeki no Soma [Manga]

[Diluc]

At this point i don't care now if Souma lose in his next match, as long Isshiki, Takumi, Megumi, Erina able to survive thoroughly to the end then that is fine for me.
For competition sake it's not undeniable this matches will require several rebels to lose. I don't mind if Souma to lose after this, at least him get rekt by stronger opponents (Isshiki or Rindou) so nobody going to bitchin. Souma has served his mission to defeat of elite members so there are no any harm if him being sacrifical shield for his teammate survival in the future alongside with Kuga, Mimasaka and Megishima.
I feel sorry for Takumi and Megumi if get rekt too early after that training there should be some development for them, Isshiki no question there i want him to stay survive and Erina because this is her arc.
also FYI i am not mean to want Megishima to defeated by new members but to be defeated by stronger member or his equal (Eishi, or Rindou or Saotome) in a honor fight when him fight another match. Sorry Momo but i fail to see to have honor fight against him..
I don't see a worth buck on Mimasaka and Kuga will get rekt by Eishi because him demand it.

You expect the MC to lose right at the clinax of the arc in a Shonen manga?

And favoring Megumi and Takumi survive through it all

Climax? this manga not reaching the end yet, Azami arc nothing more than one of arc in Soma saga which happened under high tension.

I admit there are my biass favor there
Think here Souma has defeated a member of E10, he has served this match main purpose after this his continuation of fighting being central member aside of that he is vulnerable to lose at this point.
Someone must be defeated from every sides, central and rebels members, Souma is vulnerable to this now of course Takumi actually possible in that position if him defeat someone and fight someone again but i am not fan for MC will solve everything so i don't hesitate to put Souma into elimination list.

Well, it will be a stupid move from the author to let Soma lose at the start. He start the plan, he challenges Azami. So you know, plot wise, let him lose in the next battle, is pretty silly.
Also, Takumi and Megumi indeed are better than before, but put them on Soma level...I don´t think so.
And as you say, it is just one of the Arc in Soma saga, but it is still Soma saga, so you know... This is not some Arc where Soma is going to lose for the sake of his development, this is all out battle.

Please notice my post him defeated by stronger opponent likes Eishi and RIndou, if him defeated by them that not mean silly that proven the difficulty of opponent level and Souma not necessary to be defeated right after this match he could defeated right before final match or when him having final match. Where Souma fight against Rindou but got defeated by her surprising strength while his other teammates that is Isshiki and Erina win against the others opponent which result gain victory despite one loss of one member.

And as you say, it is just one of the Arc in Soma saga, but it is still Soma saga, so you know... This is not some Arc where Soma is going to lose for sake of his development, this is all out battle.

And this is team battle i remind you.

Ohh indeed it is a team battle. But you know, to expect that Soma will be not in the final team is a bit silly ... you know. Also, based on their past, we can expect Eishi vs Soma at the end. But that will be far from now, because there is a lot of matches front of us.
Ofc that matching is just a theory. But still, I think that author will not go for such development as to let Soma lose before the end.
And btw, that what you write to last part of my comment, it still don´t change fact that it is a Soma saga... even when it is a team battle. It is Shokugeki no Soma, no Shokugeki no team
But hmm, I would like in final 3 - Erina,Soma,Megumi

@Roxis: By it being close to the climax, what was really meant was that it's close to end of the current arc. In a Shounen manga, the MC has to beat the arc's boss. There are exceptions, of course, and one such exception would be a team battle. But that doesn't mean Souma has to or will lose in the team battle (as in, it's not set in stone).

It's depend really, I'm on the mind that Souma might lose along the lines, Tsukasa and Rindou is both way too overlevel compare to Souma, it's will be probably Isshiki or the 3rd seat to took them down

[sparhawk1610]

Indeed Rindou and Tsukasa will be a hardcore opponents. And is not necessary that Soma will beat them. But I think it will be at the end or close to the end. But if Soma will beat one of them, I am really curious in what way it will happen and how author will write it, because they are pretty OP.
But for now, I can´t wait to see Rindou cooking.

[DragonOsman]

Agreed, actually. Those two I can see him losing to unless it's at or near the end of the series.

I think that you mean Arc

[DragonOsman]

No, in this case I do mean the series - though there also has to be the last Souma vs. Jouichirou match before the series ends.

In my opinion, when we will see the end of the series, there will bo no Tsukasa or Rindou challenge. But we will see.

[~Yami~]

this shokugeki actually made me wonder that Souma would probably lose if the theme is not Soba

Soba theme is actually a big trap for Nene to do something predictable due to her family pride and background

I refer to the climax of the current arc. By no means are we close to the end of the manga. But as one poster said, in Shonen the MC is expected to be right at the thick of the conflict in the climax of an arc.

Souma is an integral part of this arc due to Azami's connection with his dad. Him and Erina are the important characters in this arc. Compared to them Megumi and Takumi are not so important other than being members of the rebel group. I'd expect Megumi and Takumi to win at least one bout before losing to an even stronger opponent cause let's face it, Megumi and Takumi are the weakest in the rebel group.

Thry call it a team battle but the matches mainly consist of 1v1 matches. There's no teamwork at play here. I think it's more appropriate to call it a Faction vs Faction battle.

Spoiler:

Souma still probably would have won, under most circumstances.

I would say different. The results might still on the side of Souma, but it will be a much harder shot than Soba. Since Nene will have to think and probably reacted to new dishes that is accompanying the theme. But in the end, Nene chance still smaller than Souma, since Souma was known for his creativity to begin with

P.S: you are Ayase fan as well ???

Well yes, I don't think Souma can easily defeat her every time they Shokugeki either, that's why I said he'll win under most circumstances but it'll be tough and he might lose as well depending on the theme/compatibility

P.S: you are Ayase fan as well ???

YES! Seeing eromanga Anime ended up reminding me of how much I love Ayase

[BladeMancer]

When I see the name Ayase I see red. I remember that confession scene so vividly, holy shit I legit still feel rage
