(L) Shokugeki no Soma [Manga]

[Key Board]

oh this is nice

previously, I had hoped that Souma joining central would push Erina taking up leadership position in Polar Dome

but she did this on her own.

Yes, this is how it should be. She's not just the mere heroine. That's a powerless narrative position in shounen titles

She's the rival. And that's where it matters.

[n0m@n]

We all know what Souma is like.
People from Pollar star dorm will use Erina's support to make sure their cooking would allow them to pass. Souma most likely wont rely on her support and try to tackle the test on his own. Dont wanna see Souma changing his style lol. Hoping Erina tsundere mode will play well from now.

[Shlugo]

Erina, the savior of the resistance. Now that she knows what she wants to do, she's really coming into her role as the leader of the first years. Azami is in for a surprise.

[ImperialFlameGod8190]

So Erina keeps the tsundere wall oh well

[Sixth]

It is time to rename the manga to: Rebellion of Erina or Counter Attack of Ice Queen.

By the way, where is Isshiki again? He seems always missing when PSD needs him in dire time.

I can see this happening. I just hope Erina will encourage him, even if it's just in her own way, rather than rejecting him just to reject like she has been until now. And hopefully, the "tsun" wall will crumble sooner rather than later.

@Sixth (on that renaming): Code Geass?

Yup. Code Geass.

[DragonOsman]

No, I'm asking if you want to turn this into Code Geass or something along those lines.

Of course. Erina is always Elite Zero in my heart.

[Kanon]

Erina is finally back in form. It was a pleasure to watch.

[NAJ P. Jackson]

I'd rather Souma be the leader of the revolution. It's a bit abrupt for Erina taking charge like this. It's a bit strange that the PSD members were on the verge of giving just like that. Clearly a contrive way for the Author to make a scene where Erina stands up and encourages the others to fight back. Eh I suppose it's cool to see and all but honestly it didn't really move me or anything. It's not like Souma would just give up without a fight anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Klashikari]

^ I agree. It is a bit funny to have Erina being accepted this way despite she was just under Azami's clutch not too long ago. Not like it has to take a while for her to have free reins, but it is still convulated how she became their leader considering how their interactions were more or less one sided so far.

If anything, the way how PSD members honed their skills so far was mostly due to Souma and, to some extent, Ishiki's meddling. It makes more sense for any of them to take the initiative.

[NeutralZero]

True it would be nice if Souma would lead them but as far as I remember,
Souma do things on his own pace than lead others
and this way, with Erina leading, it would be Azami vs Erina while Souma can have a rematch to the first seat...

Well, it may seem forced (understandable) but at least it is better than having Erina sulking for every chapters.

In the end, PSD just have to do what Soma did against bribed judges. Force their dishes onto the judges and make them doubt the Central's selections.

[Hakai]

Souma naturally inspires people around him but I think Erina would make a better leader, she's shown her leadership skills in stagiaire.

Souma's too.. uhm Souma for this job.

Right. Ignoring a superior's order and taking over his job. A real leader material yup.

Exactly what I had in mind.

That's true I guess.

Yes?
She's shown leadership skills , however her method was(which is going to change drastically from now on)


___________
(I can't believe I'm actually defending Erina )

[Wandering Soul]

Even if it would feel more natural to have Souma rally everyone, at least this way Erina is done moping and can finally take action.

[Homura7]

One more push before Erina goes completely -dere.

Souma is to flighty and individualistic to be a leader of a movement. I can't imagine him rallying people, giving a speech or organizing things. That's just not his style. Erina is much better suited for the role.
