I had to read this manga once again because I got very lazy so here I am, back to business.
I'm really loving the chemistry between Soma and Erina. This is confirmed by now that they will end up together. She's accepting soma's food, and what Joichiro said in early chapters that he has to find a girl that he wants to cook for, I can't wait to see how it develops from now on! EXCITED as hell.
Yeah buddy, they did it right too. You have the two side chicks on the side where they belong and you have wifu in the middle with that face "come on in, back door is open."
God this made up for the rest of the chapter. Cali don't demod me for this >.>
I'm telling you guys, they need to put the rebels against each other in Shokugeki's making the losers go home. Odd number of judges, unless they all conclude it's a draw, somebody going home. You don't isolate your problem and attack them with weak tactics, you make them take each other out one by one and reduce your own energy. These people lack Sun Tzu's philosophies, that's why they lose. They assert their victory without knowing their opponents. if there is dismay within the enemy's own camp that is when you tear them down.
Problem with that plan is that Azami will look bad if that happens. He wants to prove them and everyone that his teaching and ways are 100% correct and that the rebels are just some wanna be chefs. There's also another way to eliminate them by including one of the rebels with 2 fodders so they won't have any chemistry and will fail but that won't happen because it also shows weaknesses in azami's speech.
If they truly want to get rid of them, they will have to put one of the 10 elites against soma's team or something along those lines. I don't really see them losing in this arc at all, maybe nikumi's team but overall, soma and his friends are expected to survive, easy? I doubt it but they won't lose.
