Yet, it can still send good messages to its child/young audience to "give it your all" and "never stop improving yourself". So far, Soma seem to posses less champion-titles on his belt compared to his chef-MC predecessors (Youichi Ajiyoshi, Liu Mao Xing, Azuma Kazuma, etc) IIRC. I wonder if the mangaka took some notes from Pokemon as the approach of Soma's journey  . |
Yeah, but in terms of what he's accomplished, he far outweighs any of his competition. Dueling with Shinomiya and taking back the 99 kitchen utensils(basically everything Itsuki was telling that other guy) is what cements himself differently amongst his peers.
