^That and it's not like Souma will definitely lose. Besides, to avoid expulsion, he has no choice but to win. Period.

That was i thought when Soma has to win vs Eishi in the cooking match or else he will be Central dog but somehow the writer managed to find bs way to prevent Soma become Central dog despite that he lost the match.

[DragonOsman]

Yeah, but with Hayama it's different because he's already fought him twice already and didn't win even once. Don't bring Satoshi into this, but still, it's looking bad for Souma so he has to win.

Spoiler for New Spoiler chapter:

Color page shows Hayama, Alice, Kurokiba getting along well at 月響祭*

Souma told Alice over the phone about Hayama joining central. Alice has a burst of displeasure over Hayama’s sudden change. Souma asks if there is anything she wants him to pass on to Hayama. Alice proposes that everyone pass the examination and object to Hayama.

Kuga hears about the commotion and says that they don’t even know if Souma can win (against Hayama), so how could everyone passing even be possible. Souma confronts Kuga’s words, telling him that he is thinking only about himself right now and the scene changes to Souma facing towards the showdown.

This time Doujima introduces the judges for the showdown. One is Alice’s father who is the international founder of Nakiri International. The other two girls are twins who are subordinates from the Nakiri sect, Beruta and Shiira (15 years old). They appear to be strict but they take out a family photo showing lovestruck parents in a foolish manner. However, it is announced that even if Alice were to lose, the judging would serve to be a fair one.

So the cooking begins.

Hayama is using roast bear meat to make fried chicken. As for Souma, it seems like he is also going to be using fried stuff for this contest. The scene changes to Tadokoro and Takumi at the examination. Worrying about Souma, bellflowers are showed infront of Tadokoro. This is not the time to be worrying about Souma. The both of the say at the same time (in the manga panel) that our opponents are our own.

Spoiler for comment:

Finally Alice father appear!
But he is on Judge side? hopefuly the chapter will explain his reason, after all Alice father is rightfully heir to Tootsuki academy legacy.

The only and last parent I want to see in this series is Erina's mother. Hope she is still alive.

I want to know what happened to Souma's mother.

If she is she's a terrible mother for abandoning her child to her insane husband. Not to mention her taste of men is questionable for marrying someone like Azami in the first place.

I'm kinda with Jackson in hoping that Erina's mother is dead. Erina's mother being alive meant abandonment perhaps even when Erina is a baby. That and the fact that Erina is the heir meant that those pressure that are on Erina's shoulder should be rightfully on Erina's mother if she didn't ran away (that is if she's alive). Which meant we can also blame Erina's lack of childhood on her.

Better be dead than the runner-up for irresponsible parenting award.

I dont know, but I think she being dead is better for the series...or else we will have to wonder why would a mother abandoned and neglected her child for so long.

Flashback or side-story is the only place that she can appear. In main manga? She will be demonized by me.

Soma strikes back! Plot armor - On. Also Rindou senpai, super sexy vampire as always! Can´t wait to see how Soma will beat Hayama.

[GDB]

So Megumi and Takumi are both facing Rindou...

Wonder how that works. Combination attack (judges compare Rindou's versus both dishes combined), one try each to save the team (judges compare Rindou's versus both dishes individually, if either beat her then they both pass), Rindou has to make a dish to compete against each of them at the same time, or consecutive battles with no real handicap at all?

[DragonOsman]

I'm with Sixth and Jackson on Erina's mother. She should stay dead unless she's a bad parent who abandoned her daughter.

@GDB: Yeah, I'm also wondering about that. Can't wait to see how it goes. But I also want to see how Souma will beat Hayama (if he will - but I want to believe he will).

[NAJ P. Jackson]

Now I'm wondering why Erina is the heir of the Nakiri empire. Shouldn't it be Alice since her father is the Son of Sanzaemon (who by the way looks an awful lot like Phoenix Wright). While Erina is the offspring of Sanzaemon's daughter...

Kuga is being cavalier and not worrying about his own test. And he's playing around with the two girls in the background lol.

[GDB]

Kuga's already a second year. He doesn't have a test (presumably, or at least not at the moment).

He probably through different kind of test, since him technically on rebellion side i wonder what central test on him or Azami being lenient to ex-elites because don't see any threat from them?

Poor Takumi he will suffer a humiliate defeat once again after autumn tournament, there is no way Tagumi can defeat Rindou the second seat

The twins are cute i mean interesting new characters, they are 15 years old so they are on same age with Alice and Ryou.
Wonder they are not on highschool.

[NAJ P. Jackson]

Rindou going up against Takumi and Megumi. They probably don't have a chance if it was one on one but if they combine both of their specialty in one dish they may have a chance against vampire girl. That is assuming they are aloud to work together against her.

[Sixth]

I feel refreshed when I saw the Alice in the cover of the chapter but the happy feeling was quickly became disgusted when I read the final page of the chapter. Rindo is disgusting as usual. "your favorite senpai?" /vomit.

Seriously, I hope Takumi punched her face and delinquent Megumi broke her arm when the exam is over.

My impression towards Alice's strict father was quickly went to the drain out when he fancied his own daughter in the public. Potential rule 34 material.

Those 2 new girls were alright although I'm slightly prefer the long hair one. Too bad that they already jumped into Hayama's bandwagon before the match even started. Soma should have kept his wet hair style from the previous chapter. It was hilarious to see both of the girls pulling Kuga's face. I guess in the end, those girls were still a child.

As for the bear meat, I don't know whether the writer doesn't know there are other way to preparation to cook the bear existed or fried bear meat is actually the best way to cook the bear meat. Either way, I am looking forward for the next chapter.

It does sound grim for the rebels as they are facing elite 10 now. Maybe this time there will be a lot of casualties. It is just sad when to think about it. Do you guys think that Isshiki and other ex-elite member will go around to guide/help those rebels just like Kuga did with Soma? I hope that Kuga would at least visit Takumi and Megumi and help both of them off-screen. Will 2 major character with plot armor will pull this off against Rindo, the demon? I kinda tired with Rindo's character and I wish that Takumi and Megumi will exorcise her away from the manga for good.

Frankly speaking, I don't like Megumi Vs Rindo here. I would prefer Megumi Vs Momo. I have the feeling that Megumi is good in making Japenese Sweet though and it would be a blast to see both of them clashing.

[IceHism]

Alice's father knows what up. Alice is indeed very cute.

I wonder if the umis will lose to rindou. I have a feeling souma will win though. Also, I want more panels of cute and blushing erina

[Skaddix]

Rindou should win. I guess Megumi and Aldini might be the 2nd Best Tag Team for the Rebels. Megumi and Aldini are Top 8. Ryou is Top 3 (kinda implied he was Top 2) at that point I rate Alice as 4th.

Still this means he had to send the number one seat against Alice and Ryou. If he is burning his second on Megumi and Aldini. Although he does seem to not really pressuring Alice all that hard and things seem still professional with her father so the Nakari family seems to be playing it nice.

One night Azami, Erina-mama and Joichiro were have a sleepover when Erina-mama said "I'm hungry. Let's see who can cook me a good meal." And so Azami and Joichiro have a cooking battle, and in the end Joichiro wins, infatuating Erina-mama. Soon Erina-mama and Joichiro eloped, which produced Soma. Erina x Soma shipped sunked

*runs*

[DragonOsman]

I'd hate that. Please don't sink the ship after having it set sail so well just recently, author.

@Skaddix: Takumi and Megumi will hopefully win. I don't really have much against Rindou, but the fact that she's helping Azami for the lulz means she has to lose.

But yeah, I love how Rindou's face totally looks like a vampire's. She really looks like a sexy vampire even though she's really human.

@Sixth: Actually, Rindou might be right about her being their favorite senpai. It's wrong for her to actually say it out loud like that, but it still could be true if you think about it.
