> “95 points” >Before trying Eina’s dish, Momo grades it. >Momo says if Erina had made a soufflé pancake then she would have given it 100 points, but her decision to make it a Dorayaki instead, ended up blurring the delicate texture and flavor. >Erina maintains a calm expression and tells Momo that once she tastes it, she will understand why she was irritated. >Reluctantly, Momo tastes the Dorayaki, and with the first bite, she gets captivated by the dish. >Erina used a special Yoghurt for the Dorayaki. That special Yoghurt was mixed in the pancake, creating an even richer flavor. And this further complemented the brown sugar bean paste. >She explains that if she hadn’t seen Tadokoro’s Doyaki, then she wouldn’t have been able to create it. >According to Erina, Momo’s unique talent lead her to create 100points worth dishes one after another. She then saw an unknown light that doesn’t exist in the world she rules, so she wasn’t able to acknowledge that bright light. >Even if it meant to abandon the likelihood to get 100 points, Tadoko’s fighting style to aim for 120 points is what caused Momo to get irritated. >And this is the exact same experience Erina tasted with Soma. >Erina then declares that she isn’t some Queen that just sits on her throne. >Erina wins this battle 3-0. >The remaining battles in the 4th Bout are, card 2 Tsukasa vs Isshiki, and card 3 Rindou vs Takumi.

Not that guy, but in your scenario I can only assume you're saying Rindou was secretly much stronger than Tsukasa.

Elijah Martinez
What? Where the hell does that come from?
Evan Allen
I think the last round will be a tag match between the last two from each side. >gives Soma & Erina more interaction >gives the rebels a way to win against Central (because Tsukasa and Rindou’s teamwork could be terrible, or just worse than Soma and Erina’s) >since Soma and Erina will both win, it is left ambiguous who is better, which can lead into Soma vs Erina shokugeki for the first seat right after
Asher Barnes
There hasn't actually been much ambiguity about that over the course of the entire series to be honest.
my thoughts exactly, it's too shounen a trope to have soma beat tsukasa
Ethan Richardson
I dunno, I mean, Erina just beat the 3rd seat which is a greater feat than anything Soma has done yet, so there’s still a competition to be had there. Soma would obviously win from our perspective but not from in-universe I don’t think.
Ian Long
I'm not even sure what you're arguing since my point was the manga has never suggested Souma is better than Erina, and has suggested otherwise more often than not. It really hasn't been ambiguous.
Lincoln Ross
Megurina is confirmed!!!
Noah Nguyen
Oh ok, I thought you were saying Soma was obviously better. I don’t agree with Erina being straight-up better either though, and I definitely don’t think she would win if she battled Soma just for plot reasons.
James Edwards
Erina deserves better.
Isaac Gomez
Why is there literally no tension in this manga?
Eli Bailey
Megumi or Erina?
Kayden Parker
She is and she would. For straight up plot reasons Erina will always win whatever their first match it. Souma can only win on a rematch.
Eli Cooper
>card 3 Rindou vs Takumi
Justin Walker
I guess that would make sense if the manga is going to cover the next two years as much as it’s covered the first, but I’m not sure that will happen and I’m expecting all the main plots of this first year “saga” to be resolved before the second year starts.
Like if anything I’m expecting the elite 10 to be revealed as no more than big fish in a small pond so I don’t think they’ll spend too much time on that after this arc. But we’ll have to see

Julian Brown
>it's too shounen a trope to have soma beat tsukasa It's not shonen enough That's why Erina will job to Tsukasa and then Soma vs Tsukasa will be the final match where Soma wins
Hunter Diaz
Tsukuda doesn't want to diminish Megumi's efforts.
Eli Cooper
Yet he has no problem diminishing Hayama's and Dog's prowess Fuck this biased cunt of an author
Jaxon Adams
Soma will win against her and then Tsukasa will say that he will take both of them on at the same time if they want to
Hudson Gray
She's one of the main characters. But keep in mind Erina didn't had to use Megumi's use of dorayaki to overcome Momo's dish. She used the dorayaki to fullfill Megumi's win against Momo, otherwise she'd make a completely different dish.
Nicholas Turner
Erina will beat Tsukasa Rindou will beat Soma
Rindou vs Erina will be the finale
John Wilson
Swap Erina and Soma's matchup. The finale will be Erina vs. Tsukasa, not Rindou
James Adams
>final match >2v2 battle between Tsukasa+Rindou and Souma+Erina >Tsukuda pulls another Autumn Election and they end up with a tie >Charme votes for Central, Historie votes for the rebels, Anne can't decide >Jouichirou suddenly shows up and challenges Azami to a 1v1 battle to decide who's the winner >Azami accepts >Azami tastes Jouichirou's dish and reevaluates his life, admitting defeat before they are even judged >The End
Nolan Powell
That sounds gay. I hope nothing like that happens.
Austin Gomez
I don't understand what made many people think Azami vs Jou was a possibility.

The match was boring and predictable as fuck. Glad its over and we can move on the other 2 more interesting matches.
Dylan Wood
What kind of interactions between Soma and Erina you anticipate/ want to see in the final bout?
Landon Kelly
Rindou-senpai gonna be medieval in his ass >RIP
Jason Hall
I don't give a fuck, I just wish it was Erina the one who gets Eishi but it's not happening.
Sebastian Baker
You guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment. Souma vs Tsukasa has already been set-up. It will happen, and it's unlikely anyone will beat Tsukasa before the MC does.
If Erina faces Tsukasa before Souma does, chances are she'll lose that match.
And don't say "MUH CLICHES". This is a shounen manga. They run on clichés, because that's what most of its readers demand.
Ryder Ortiz
What if Isshiki defeats Tsukasa and is then revealed to be the true final boss of the Regiment
Nathan Bell
why are they doing this bout separately? wasn't the rebels' strong point teamwork and helping each other while cooking?
Wyatt Green
Erina can take care of the pastry midget by herself, and there's no amount of teamwork that's gonna save Isshiki and Aldini
Ian Sanders
Because Erina helping the other two or the other two helping each other can end with all of them winning. You can't have that a in a predictable shonen manga, can you?
Lucas Wilson
Isshiki vs Tsukasa feels so pointless. They've been hyping up Isshiki as this godly cook for years but now the first time he fights anyone seriously and has a shot to show off his skills and specialty he's just going to get fucked up hard because Soma needs to have a rematch with Tsukasa. I would have honestly preferred if he went up against Rindo, but I guess then we'd miss out on Aldini becoming flustered when she gobbles up his Italian salami and that wouldn't be any fun either. The entire setup is just shit to be honest, it blows.
Evan Jenkins
>Tsukasa vs Isshiki RIP Isshiki ;-;
Tyler Bailey
Nah, he's that cool and really talented senpai who acknowledges the MC, and serves to prop him up by the time a strong rival/antagonist shows up.
Anyway, even if he loses to Tsukasa, he's the one with the most options to take the First seat of the Elite 10, by the time this is over.
Carson Russell
The outcome would still be the same but the other possibility that is Eishi/Takumi and Rindou/Isshiki is so much fucking better it's not even funny.
Charles Fisher
At least he's being treated better than Megishima. Dude is mysterious as fuck for most of the series and when he does show up, he loses his one real match ever. Yeah he beat Shoko but that shit was offscreened and no one cared about her. Isshiki had a decent fight against Julio at the very least.
Parker Gomez
when will this shit arc be over already?
Jonathan Kelly
No way, Eishi and Satoshi are the best chefs in school (that we know). Them having a shokugeki is the best matchup we could get.
Anyhow, I'm really hoping the finals involve pairs working on a single dish, rather than these 1-on-1s. That way Souma would get his match against Eishi, but Erina would get to shine just as much.
Grayson Baker
I'd rather they tie and get double KO'd and the final is Souma+Erina against Rindou who's secretly the Jou of her generation.
Brandon Hill
>Rindou who's secretly the Jou of her generation.
This shit again.
Easton Martinez
No, fuck you.
Leo Williams
I don't worry about Isshiki's match, but what do you guys think of Takumi's match, like is it getting offscreened or what? Takumi vs Rindo is fucking predictable and Tsukuda spent 4 chapters on his match against Eizan so I don't see this match getting much focus.
Aaron Moore
Nah, Takumi will receive some modicum of respect, like Megumi did.
Austin Wilson
Don't think it'll be offscreened but it will most likely get the less coverage. Isshiki still has as backstory that needs to be told, so that most likely take up a chapter or two on its own.
Jonathan Perez
We still need to see his training with Doujima, so yeah.
Luis Anderson
I don't think it will be offscreen, probably just a single chapter though. Enough to drive home just how powerful Rindou really is while giving Takumi a modicum of respect when she foodgasms for him.
Aiden Thompson

Owen Watson
What are the chances Eishi and Rindou will take the jabrumis' place as the side protags of turn, after this arc is over?

Camden Collins
I wish Saito would get at least a VA.
Charles Turner
Yes? I mean he is the head of a rich chef household for a reason. That's like asking if Gordon Ramsay's kids can cook
Wyatt Turner
How does this makes sense? Takumi vs Eizan was expected, but what relation does Takumi have with Rindou? They literally send him as fodder.
William Powell
Since when you are supposed to have a relation to go fight an opponent.
Thomas Myers
there's 2 central members left to the rebels' 4. Soma's on break this round, Erina took out Momo. So Takumi has to take either Eishi or Rindou. And their strategy is that even if they can't measure up exactly, they have to try and wear down their opponent so the next round can win. So what exactly were you expecting Takumi to do otherwise?
Ryan Lopez
They have to finish that exam that started 50 chapters ago.
Isaiah Perez
Only Eishi, Soma, Rindo and Erina are allowed to have more than one win in the RDC. Everyone else either gets just one or in some cases none at all.
Aiden Wilson
Takumi should have gone for Eishi to prove his worth, Souma's rival is Takumi's rival so the most logical thing would have been Takumi trying to beat the dude that beat Souma. And Isshiki would have made much more sense against Rindou, watching a Eshi vs Isshiki would be as interesting as seen a snails race.
1. Alice Nakiri 2. Erina Nakiri 3. Megumi Tadokoro
Anthony Johnson
>Alice Nakiri Who?
Carter Wilson
I could see that being in his character, but his cockiness has been reigned in ever since his loss to Mimaska- plus it's Erina leading the team and deciding strategies. Isshiki and Takumi are probably going in to this knowing they're just there to wear down their opponents- but what would be the better play here? Sending your highest ranking soldier to take a big chunk of stamina out of the lesser boss, and your lesser soldier to take a small chunk out of the main boss, or setting it up to try and take a sizable chunk of stamina out of both?
Oliver Lopez
>grammar nazi
Bentley Edwards
>better play
Sending Souma instead of Isshiki.
Josiah Myers

Dominic Stewart
Who the fuck are these people voting for Alice? She hasn't had any character development, nor has she done anything impressive since that one breakfast part. She's lost every single on-screen match she's been in.
