If you mean Kuga's club then I doubt tha would happen.

That's provided Nikumi's match hasn't ended, yet.

I doubt she'd want to rely on Souma to fight in her place, though, given her pride and all.

Even if the Chinese rs meant tol lose, the fight will not go off-panel because of Kuga.

[DragonOsman]

Yeah, that's true.

And yeah, Nikumi would most likely win anyway, but I was just talking about the off-chance that she ends up losing.

How can you be so sure?
I think the possibility she win against a member of Central is even lower than Megumi vs one

[DragonOsman]

Nikumi's skill level is close to Souma's. That's why.

Somehow I have my doubts on that. The only one we can definitively say that is on par with Souma is Hayama and Ryou.

That's quite a bold (and in a way, fallacious) statement to make there.

Meat failed to finish in the top 8 in the AE, lest we forget.

Can we for sure say she's even on par with the PSD residents (Marui, Ibusaki, Ryouko, Yuuki, etc) now?

Granted, she has improved since the Stagiaire, but so have the rest, as well.

[DragonOsman]

That's why I said her skill level is "close to" Souma's. I'm not necessarily saying that she's at his level. But she might still be able to win.

Edit: One post late.

@PSY: Yeah, there's that. Well, shucks. If Nikumi loses, and Souma doesn't help out at all, then the RS Don goes bye-bye. Hopefully Souma will help if Nikumi loses.

Nikumi might be pretty strong.. but I think people never consider her to be one of the golden generation
after all, she used to hide behind Erina.. and now she already outshined by Souma
I'm afraid she is on back row at harem race as well

[DragonOsman]

Yeah, and PSY said that because this manga in Shonen Jump, it won't ever get a True Harem ending. It's going to either have an open ending (bad) or a one-girl-only ending (still okay). If it's one-girl-only, it has to be either Erina or Megumi, and that's already set in stone (that it'll be one of those two or no one). So Nikumi's already doomed to not be able to win at all.

And yeah, I guess you're right about her skill level, too. She could still win, but it'll probably be tough. I just hope Souma is allowed to fight for them on account of him being an honorary member of the Don RS, if Nikumi loses.

Fixed that for you.

I don't think there are no do overs. One shokugeki. If Nikumi loses then the Don RS is done.

[beast 666]

I would say that Nikumi could be at the same height as Megumi, since taking into account Nikumi can not be in the semifinals of the selection of autumn by what you can argue that Meguimi is a better cook than Nikumi, I doubt that Souma defend Nikumi in case the Don S.I this danger now that Souma knows Nikumi can defend itself alone only if it is life or death Souma will defend Nikumi.

[DragonOsman]

There's no life or death struggle in this manga, though, so that's a moot point.

@NAP: Well, maybe Souma could say he's an honorary member and that he demands to be allowed to go.

I just don't think that him having said he might have to fight for the Don RS because he's an honorary member there will amount to nothing.

As for Megumi or Hisako on the pairing thing: Megumi is good wife material and her cooking has a mother's touch. Hisako's also great with her medicinal cooking, but she doesn't have a mother's touch like Megumi does. Plus, Megumi also did that hanging fish cutting, which is probably something Hisako can't do. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses and so I can't really say that one is really all that better than the other.

He can demand all he wants doesn't mean Central would agree

Hisako is great aide. She can help Souma when he finally establish a business.

There is an error in your post. I fixed it for you.

Why would you assumed that Azami or anyone would allow a do-over? Requesting a do-over is only making Soma and his friends look like a bunch of sore loser. Didn't see Central request a do-over when the clown lost.

Sorry, Megumi has nothing on Hisako. What she can do, Hisako can do it even better. Hisako is a perfect waifu package. She is pretty and she can cook, capable to run and handle the business, capable to do all household chore and know how to cook a nutritious soup for Soma every day. Even if Erina and Megumi combined, they will still fall short compare to Hisako when it comes to perfect waifu.

All hail to Hisako!~

Not at all. When Souma beat Nikumi it was pretty clear that it wasn't close and Souma was playing into Nikumi's strengths and still won. Souma's feats/improvements since beating Nikumi has eclipsed her completely and it's pretty clear from a storyline perspective that it'll continue to be this way.

Nikumi did have some hype from the stagiaire but it would be a really big stretch to say that she's even came close to Souma's level.

Didn't shounen jump run To Love Ru which ended in a harem ending or does that not count since the MC couldn't decide on anything.

As for the pairings idk, I don't really feel like Souma as he is now is really romance material. He hasn't shown any interest at all in the opposite sex and most of his interactions with females have been friendly (Megumi, Nikimu etc.) or in the competitive nature (Erina). He's like Luffy in the sense that it's hard to see him partner up with anyone and you (or a least I) can't really imagine it.

I do prefer Hisako over the other girls tho.

Big deal. They just have to get rid of Aizen to get things back to status quo.

I think the prominent first years will have the plot-armor bestowed upon them, but not to ridiculous levels, of course.

Yup. People need to get this drilled into their head (again, no open end, since Souma will end up with someone).

Said this already gazillion times, Erina is by far the clear favorite to win it all.

Megumi will probably end up with the poor man's Souma.

So we are return to shipping wars again?
Reminder for mad shippers in this thread there is going be two harem ending will happen in this manga : Souma harem and Alice harem
Okay enough joking
Sorry for ruin but Soumax soneone or harem ending will not happen, because :
1.This is cooking manga
2. Despite in high school setting SnS not focus on romance like Nisekoi or TLR
3. according the author SnS will cover Souma story in tootsuki with possible sequel, very unlikely in the ending we will see Souma get end girl maybe we will see bit romance development later but not they will date, Souma personality himself not encourage for romance with any girls.
4. If you guys want end girl so badly then predict that will happen in SnS sequel after Souma graduation, High school Souma does not care for girls and loves

What shipping wars?

It's just your usual talk of who's the best girl and all.

If you want to see such stuff, go to the Rakudai and Bahamut threads.
