[Flashback]
Erina: Do you get it? There is no value in throwing away your captain. (This expression means it’s meaningless to make people go against an opponent that is too overwhelming)
Erina: There is chance for us to win against the strong opponent if we don’t counter them back with strong fighters.
Soma: What do you mean with”throwing away your captain?”
Takumi: It means to make weka fighters go against strong fighters and to ensure to win more probably battles.
Erina: Such defeat is as pointless as it gets.
Aoki: Y…Yeah you’re right.
Yoshino: We need to get rid off the first and second seats or we have not chance of winning.
Erina: Yes…Right…But…
Soma: ?
[Flashback over]
Mimasaka: Why? My trace was perfect! And the arranging too!
Sharm: The difference between you was “hidden cuts”
Mimasaka insists that he followed exact procedures to make his sushi but Saitou objects by saying.
Saitou: That’s right. Your trace was wonderful…But what we made isn’t a normal Edo Mae Sushi!
Saitou: But it’s “Kodama Sushi”.
Mimasaka realizes something.
Saitou: You seem to understand now! Yes, you made too many “hidden cuts!”
Saitou further explains that there needs to be a delicate control when you do “hidden cuts”.
Saitou: The difference was the experience I pursued to master the Sushi way! There is no need to blame yourself!
Mimasaka: …!
Ann: But the most amazing item was Mr. Tsukasa’s “Gradation puree soup with 4 different leaves”
Tsukasa managed to get the best out of all the 4 leaves, and Ryoko can’t believe it.
