Sure. Souma played that trick already, and I don't even think he's the only one.

But there are two things to consider:
- it's not a case of "the first bite is great, and the second is even greater". It's a case of "the first plate isn't "get naked good".
- who's supposed to eat that dish? If the answer isn't "sumo looking to get his carbs and protein", it's a bit much to ask them to eat two servings.

You realize he basically did exactly this in his match against Alice, right? It isn't really anything new.

If the judges superlove whatever else Soma feeds them then all bets are off...

Every contest has involved levels of subjectivity...They will be the judge of that...They will have to judge whether or not the taste (imagination or creativity) is so phenomenal that it grants victory...

Just like Alice, her mom is such a delight.

Stark700 · 2016-09-03, 09:38

Episode 10:

So the finals concluded. Akira came out on top as the victory but honestly, I think it was a close match and all three competitors did well.

I like how they showed some of Akira's background/past as well. Anyways, it was a good tournament overall, felt like the first few episodes were rushed but the latter ones quite well done in terms of performance and colorful expressions. Oh and I always love it when Alice's mom speaks in unbroken Japanese

Only thing I don't like about the flashback is the placement. Would've been better AFTER the announced winner.

I think putting it BEFORE made it clear about his motivation and how he is seriously desperate to win.

IceHism · 2016-09-03, 12:12

Yes it's time for my favorite arc. Stagiaire. I hope they can finish it.

Also uh, I guess people who want souma to lose got their wish granted

You read the manga? You think finishing this is feasible? The show should be one cour so it's only two-three episodes left.

RDNexus · 2016-09-03, 14:48

Are 3 episodes enough for the Stagiaire arc?
According to this site, it's to be 13 episodes.

It's a short arc, so it's possible, but it'll be rushed. They'll need to fit about a dozen chapters into 3 episodes.

aohige · 2016-09-03, 16:42

So uh
Erina's voice actress had to quit her job temporarily due to illness.

I wonder who's going to replace her.

RDNexus · 2016-09-03, 17:00

You guys think Erina will have another voice in these last few episodes? I sure hope not

Does she have any appearances in this Stagiaire arc?

If we assume that the last 3 episodes will be Stagiaire, then her appearance would only be in episode 11 and probably ( depends on how they would end it) the last episode. But if you ask me it won't matter for this anime anyway.

RDNexus · 2016-09-03, 17:08

Her work in Souma may have been finished for a while, I guess.

I don't think there will be a change for the final episodes of this series.

IceHism · 2016-09-03, 17:45

She probably finished all her roles for every show in this season that she is in already.

Episode 10

So a second helping of Soma's dish rips old man Nakiri's clothes instantly. Isshiki explains why no one likes Soma. Apart from him publicly insulting Totsuki by calling it a stepping stone, they don't want to admit that they're not trying hard enough. Soma isn't naturally talented like Hayama or Erina but that never stops him from getting better and continuously challenging those stronger than him. Most people would give up or not try hard enough because it would be pointless anyway once faced with a naturally talented super strong opponent. Soma would give it his all and reflect on his mistakes and make things right.

And Soma places second, losing to Hayama. Ryo coming in third was expected since he easily lost to Hayama and obviously they wouldn't be so cruel with Soma to place him third. Hayama's dream to make things up to Jun by becoming the very best that no one ever was is coming true as he's second only to Erina among the first years. And Soma and Ryo aren't over the loss. They want to get better and want to learn stuff from Hayama's winning dish. They continue to compare their dishes at Hayama's place like a couple of freeloaders lol. And now the kids will be sent to the practical world to work in restaurants and Soma probably goes to France for the pink haired dude since he gets focus in the ED despite him not having shown up so far.

It's not actually official that Soma came second. No ratings were given. They just squabbled over it, though it seems likely that's his actual rank.

Chosen_Hero · 2016-09-03, 22:56

Sheesh, just watched the latest episode of the anime and Hayama winning still feels forced, especially the flashbacks. Now before you say anything I'm ok with Souma losing, but the reason they gave was and still feels cheap in my opinion amd the flashbacks were just there to force you to like Hayama, why not show them earlier instead of shoehorning them at that moment? All I felt was disconnected from him and his story since I barely knew anything or cared outside of Soumas next opponent, heck, Ryos' worked well and made me like the guy, so why wait until now to show it?

Well at least the next few arcs are good and then the edge will be revealed.
