so I dont think Asura's wife will be a chef who cooks better than Asura but s.o who tastes his food and somehow her character made him fell in love with sound similar?

I really want to know their love story than the current ships Fumio said Jouichirou became kinder, its all thanks to mama mama must be great

Besides, is it confirmed that Yukihira is mama's family name?

Spoiler for if not:

Because there are many cases like when u live in Japan, your parents divorce and u follow your mother's old family name or when your mama marry new husbando, u will follow your new dad's family name. Its Souma's grandma

English Scan 122 is out.

My mother and her family are from the Szechuan (or Sichuan) region and I've eaten plenty of the spicy dishes that originate from there. A personal favorite is double cooked pork.

Spoiler:

I think I see how Soma is going to face Kuga. Soma's going to cook Chinese dishes from other regions and let the mild ones compliment the spicy ones.

Spoiler for 122:

Gee all those people coming to Don RS. I wonder what could be the reason? Boing Boing

Very wise of Souma to ask Erina for help. He's the only one who would even think of asking the God Tongue for help.

Props to Hisako for being a great wingman.

Erina must feel really confused right now. Not only does she keeps running into Souma but somehow ends up helping him. She didn't even notice when she got on such good terms with him.

Btw, I wonder what she'll prepare for the festival. We know relatively little about the specifics of her cooking after all.

It's awfully nice of Megumi to help Souma and I mean it but I feel it's such a loss for her. She'll never become a first class chef if she won't become more ambitious.


Lol Alice does whatever she wants. Hayama just got romped into her new plan. With those three working together they'll dominate the main street area.

Spoiler for 122:

It's funny how Hisako is suddenly calling the shots in her relationship with Erina.

As for Megumi, working with Souma this time around is probably a good thing for her as a chef. She avoided the easy and safe options of working with her club and dorm, and is going with the near impossible option instead. She can gain a lot more that way.

[ImperialFlameGod8190]

Well the chapters out and i must admit im disappointed by it. Erina did help Soma but she's reluctant to do it. megumi is the opposite she wants to help Soma despite herself but again i'm asking the question i wanna ask. How will Soma handle this challenge i have a theory which is if Soma's is to counter kuga he makes a cool chinese food to counteract the spiciness

[Fairy Water]

^ What did u expected to happen?

Im also kind of disappointed, I dont like how Erina appears a little bit like that every chapter to support Souma.

Except that, everything else is good. Glad to see Megumi's development, she seems to have more confidence now, I can really see the future which Megumi is a member of elite 10.

Its not that i didnt expect anything different my problem is this.

Soma has proven himself to be a brilliant cook but he has 2 fatal weaknesses.
1. His understanding of the school that he goes to is sad. The fact he's constantly reminded at the stakes at hand proves he's gonna have trouble
2. his Shokugeki's have with the exception of Mimisaka all been one because his opponent didnt understand the theme. Ikumi and Alice are notable examples. The fact he nearly got KOed in the breakfast challenge is to me a sign that he's skilled but a large amount of luck has helped him too.

I know for a fact that Soma wont be expelled but im almost afraid they're gonna find a reason for him to win this when he doesnt really deserve it. Its one of those it would be better for him to lose but im almost afraid he's gonna win.

Spoiler for Erina x Soma gripe (not trying to start a conversation just venting):

As for the Erina x Soma situation everybody can use their interactions as signs they're softening but the reality is her position hasnt significantly changed from the first chapter and the fans who defend the couple drive me nuts.
Its similar to my annoyance of the Chitoge fans in Nisekoi who all say she'll eventually win even though zero evidence suggests it thus far.
But im gonna leave this section alone.

Megumi is never an ambitious person. Even if she didn't helped Soma, she will ended up helping others. But look at other side, Megumi is selecting a HARD mode when she can scrolling in the EZ mode, especially in Polar Star Dorm's stand since Isshiki was there. I guess we are going to see how Megumi's waitress lesson going to help Soma's stand.

But seriously, I think Soma aced this so-called festival match with Kuga.

I mean, when there are 2 chinese food stalls selling in the same spot, the first thing that customers, especially male customers would have choose Soma's stand over Kuga's stand because who is in the right mind want to eat at the restaurant that run by a bunch of sweaty bald guys over 1 sweet waitress and well-endowed female chef who are wearing Cheongsam? In fact, I think Soma would get Honjou to his side in upcoming chapters.

Frankly speaking, I am more interested with Alice's stall than Soma/Kuga's stalls at this moment. Alice has all the powerhouse at her side, and it would be hilarious if her stall ended up taking all the customers from Soma and Kuga.

As for Hisoko, it was almost too scary that Hisoko felt nothing unusual and perfectly normal with Soma's requests. It is almost like talking to Soma is like breathing to her now.

And for Erina, I guess she always love to do things in exaggerate manners. Want to run a stall, let's vacate the entire building and make it a "stall, no I mean, a full-fledged restaurant. So I assume that she was at the 3rd section of the festival where she most likely won't bump with Soma/Kuga's fight after all.

She is not in their area iirc, she will be facing Isshiki(which will be awesome).

Well, they were at first section, so the customers will have to pass through them in order to get to mid- section...so I was under the impression that they will steal all the customers away before the customers reached the mid-section.

Its a 5 days event, at some point the customers will go to another location.

[Fairy Water]

Souma has the protagonist charm which is the infamous plot shield. It is used to prevent Souma from expelling.

1. His understanding of the school that he goes to is sad. The fact he's constantly reminded at the stakes at hand proves he's gonna have trouble

This, I totally agree!

At least there IS time Souma lost, but I also feel he didnt lose enough to call his way of learning is collecting experience.
Thus, I really hope Souma cant beat Kugo in school festival :/ it is too unrealistic with his current state.

[Sixth]

^Soma still haven't recover from Hayama, and you want him to lose again?

Fair enough. Completely forgot that it is more than 1 day event.

Yep, it seems Erina is gonna have her own restaurent in moutain view area.
But I disagree with u saying that she loves exaggerate things. With her reputation, there is no doubt she will have a large amount of customer, it is normal to have a big restaurant to serve them. Besides, VIP guests and high-class people might not want to join the main street area, so they would want to spend most of their time in a formal luxury restaurant.

I can now understand why Erina needs more buildings and rooms. And the advantage of being her underling like Nikumi used to, with a large festival in Tottsuki, it would be a big help if u have a spare room or place to contain people.

Soma still haven't recover from Hayama, and you want him to lose again?

Souma isn't a fighter, loosing can't haunt him either, why did u used the word 'recover'?

More than recover or sad, he is lucky enough to be in Shinomiya's care, he defeated some second year later. There were too much wins.

Fodders doesn't count, he need to make up for his lost at the Autumn Election. Against Kuga's minions, I expect Soma to win pretty easily.

Since when fodders win ever meant something? I am talking about major win. Hayama was an arc boss, and Soma lost to him. Fine, because it is normal for a main character to lose once in the blue moon for the sake of the plot.

But this time, Kuga is an arc boss who Soma really need to take it down. It would leave a bad taste to a reader if the main character consecutive failed against arc bosses. Plus, Soma needs a real opponent to show his power that he gained from Shinomiya-sifu. Kuga is the best and perfect opponent for this kind of setting.

IMO it would leave a worse taste if Soma who didnt even beat Hayama all of the sudden has the ability to beat Kuga whose not the 10th seat but the 8th seat. Unfortunately Kuga is the worst type of opponent. Soma is clever and unfortunately for him clever isnt good enough.

I gotta admit i kinda hope he loses because he needs a reality check that he's not good enough and if he all of the sudden beats Kuga then there's really nothing left for him.

To me its a whole lot of idiocy. Dont have him win this because we really havent seen him win a major shokugeki yet. Soma's victories have all been because his opponent screwed up. Mimisaka is the exception but lets face it what Soma did ONLY would've worked with beef stew. There are very few themes that Soma's trick would've worked for and we shall see.

I would agree with you if the Soma you were talking was the same Soma that Hayama beat, but this is the Soma who had been trained under Shinomiya for a week.

So, it is not completely far-fetched if Soma really beat Kuga whether thru skill or luck. Kuga had been underestimated Soma a lot, so it is not surprised if he screwed up.
