(L) Shokugeki no Soma [Manga]

[Calca]

All this for Asami is for senpai to notice him.

Or he got kicked out because of his abomination dishes

Indeed. This route is a lot better and exciting than simply removing 3 elite chefs away because of so-called majority votes by other elite members who were clearly Azami's pets. Fairness? Hahaha

But at least the writer accomplished something in this chapter. He successfully made me loathe at those Azami's pets.

Elite 10? More like lapdog. Central? More like Corrupt.

Wait a minute...maybe this is the "revenge" that the Fumio meant. He wants to destroy Tootsuki by making it a rubbish academy and then he abandoned them and go to see his beloved senpai. #SenpaiIdestroyedTootsuki4UNoticeMePLz.

Exactly. Tootsuki is nothing but a corporate now, and those 5 (save for Rindou who is doing it for the evulz) have all agreed to serve Central interests no matter what. Those 3 would have been removed anyway, as the director has the last word on this matter now he has changed the rules.

Whenever you think the decisions that have been made lately are lacking any common sense, think how corrupt governments operate. Laws, rules... anything that is in the way of a corrupt ruler, that may be used to thwart his ambitions, will be disposed of or modified, and any individual that dares to steadily oppose him will be kicked out of his castle.

slowly but steadily this elite ten + headmaster start to remind me on aizen and the espada

either way, the reaction of fake-aizen was ok, i wish he would be more shken like erina but this wouldnt fit his image

Yep.

And the whole "Senpai, notice me!" thing is indeed creepy, and Azami's reaction in this chapter was also creepy as all hell, but at least the author gave him a reason.

I wonder if Souma will want to actually support Azami's plan if he finds out about it and likes it (which he might). But if it's really to completely ruin Tootsuki, then I hope Souma either won't support him at all, or will at least subtly influence it to change it into something he himself thinks is better than what it was before (the input of the other members of the Polar Storm Dorm included as well, of course, since I don't think just his own input would be enough to make Tootsuki better).

But I hope Hayama doesn't support Azami at all. Especially if Azami's plan is to ruin Tootsuki.

Edit: One post late.
@LevelSeven: Yeah, there are even ten elites under Azami here. The only thing missing is two right-hand men, one being someone who'd maybe betray him later like Gin did in Bleach. And Tousen was also a bit different than just outright evil, plus he also died. I don't think it needs to be an exact copy, but there could be similarities like how there already are some between Azami and Aizen.

Just wait until Erina reveals her real seat; Elite 0. The forum will explode.

[Homura7]

These jokes are getting a bit old IMO

[AC-Phoenix]

I kinda don't get how Azami could discharge the Elite 10.
He argued it out by the other Elite 10 agreeing to it too, but 3 of them were discharged, Erina didn't even get to vote on it and Rindou was against it so unless Erina is in favor of it its 5:5 :P

[Homura7]

Probably when it ends in a draw, the director has got the last word.

But this stinks of corruption, so it doesn't matter the result. Azami wanted to get rid of all the hindrances and ge got that.

[Xero8420]

I was somehow right about Azami, after all. To him, he did all of that was to mourn of the loss of his dear senpai, or rather - an act of revenge against Tootsuki and anyone who "ruined" Jouichiro-senpai.

To transform Tootsuki into a corporate-like system like right now, he thought that is his senpai's will. But I suspect he never understood what Jou actually wanted or stood for. He also never understand the meaning of cuisine and cooking either. Jou is yet to reveal the true self to him to blow him away.

Dang, I feel like this is playing along with the MGS parody.

So that would make Jou the Boss and Azami would be Big Boss. The way this story is going Souma will probably be Solid Snake. If we has a "Zero" this would be the perfect parody.

[DragonOsman]

Just like PSY said, guys, do you really think the three guys who were being voted out would also be given the chance to cast their votes? I seriously doubt it. Think about it. It does make sense to think of it this way, doesn't it? And not only that, but it really seemed like Isshiki hadn't voted at all - in fact, it seemed to be news to him that they'd already voted. The voting was probably done unbeknownst to him and the other two members who were being voted out. So it was really 5 out of 7, which is a majority vote since Isshiki and the others' votes weren't included. Easy, right?

@Xero: Yeah, I also think Azami doesn't know what Jouichirou really stood for. I'm waiting for the part where he finds out that his dear senpai doesn't like what he's doing. He'll probably have a similar mental breakdown to Erina's one when she found out that Souma is Jouichirou's son.

[DOmus]

10 members, lets say Asami call them in order to eliminate one(hmmm Isshiki). Even if we consider that Kuga, Rindou and Alpaca say no, the majority is going to say "yes".

Guess the elimination was done one by one and not for the three of them altogether. In that way there would be no problems like the ones being debated in the thread.

[DragonOsman]

Isshiki really didn't seem to know it was happening already, though. He even said that it's happening sooner than he'd thought it would. Even if Azami had had the others members vote for or against each of them one by one, news of it would still have reached Isshiki and the others. But it seems like it didn't. So it was most likely done 5 to 7 instead of 5 to 10 or something.

[Homura7]

Isshiki's first line after Azami requires his presence at his office says it all: the voting was done at his back.

Isshiki's expected next maneuver is for him to call in the other two former E10 members and plan their next move.

So why do you seem incredulous to the events that recently took place?

Basically, the reason why i said it was BS because that was clearly nonsense and unnecessary. I take it the author wanted to display the true strength of E10 but he could done this after the announcement for Central plan.
If Senzaemon demoted was triggered by the demand of mass students in whole Tootsuki, i could have tolerance that, It represented the form how democracy work.

Think about, when you heard something like this would happened in real life most people would thoughts how stupid the school to implemented such power for their students.

Roxis, it's not as if the groundwork hasn't been laid for such an event to happen, which a few over here felt to be a D.E.M moment.

Under the power hierarchy chart, they're only below the director, and I'm sure you've noticed they seem to be the de facto "government body", rather than be categorized under the student population.

So when such a power has already been previously bestowed upon them, for ages, and Sen didn't even object to it, nor put up a fight, why do you sound surprised?

Your personal feelings are clouding your judgment, it seems.

If that it so then I have to said you lack comprehensive and analysis skill. It's like you can only take word from the manga as actually prove and can't use the evident around show in the manga to make judgement like seriously do the the manga have to spell out who saiba can beat out loud to you in order for you to actually realize it. You seem like one of those guy that would make claim like oh the manga never said jouchiro can beat shinomiya so he can't or oh it never said the lesbian girl who was a former e10 will lose to jou so jou is not a better cook then her. Geez dude, everything don't have to be spell out to you do they.

Isshiki already mentioned to Souma earlier on on what grounds you can get an E10 to challenge you, so again, I'm really not sure if you have read the manga properly, or not.

The rest of your points are pretty much red herring and irrelevant, dude.

Yup. It's pretty straightforward. I've noticed people here tend not to read between the lines, and not fall back on manga evidence, but bring in their own interpretation of events, instead.

[M.A.D]

Wow, I don't remember who, but somebody already called this. Azami getting revenge on the school because of Saiba.

Yup, it didn't matter anyway, since the 3 of them weren't expected to take Azami's side from the beginning. Be it 3/10 or 2/7, they would still end up in the minority and be ousted. Rather, the vote's purpose was for Azami to show that he takes his E10 into consideration, otherwise it'd be just him deciding who stays and who goes.

As for the Survivor Elimination, I think it's not aimed towards the recently-departed E3, but the survived cooking societies and groups. Basically, the new E10 is subjugating any and all societies that have survived through shokugekis.

Where's 1st seat senpai at?
