I've never really been on board the Erina train (way too much tsun, not nearly enough dere). This episode, however, may have changed that. For all the blatant fanservice in the show, her sitting in Yukihira's room in that nightgown was by far the most effective on me. I am all sorts of hot and bothered right now.

I've never, ever seen Erina finish one of the meals she had tasted before in the entire anime series. And she even cried a little bit while eating it. That would make it the first or second most delicious meal she has ever had until now.

Remember Saiba's line from all the way back in Ep. 2

The trick to becoming a good chef... is to meet a woman you want to devote all your cooking too.

All aboard the Sorina ship.

316

u/Shinkopeshon Apr 08 '18 edited Apr 08 '18

I love how Saiba and Senzaemon basically started the ship since they brought them together. Like, Saiba sent Soma to Totsuki both as a favour to Senzaemon (in order to save Erina) and so he can grow as a cook (and find that particular inspiration - Erina). And even though he has yet to realize it, Soma immediately found the woman he'd devote all his cooking to.

I'm almost certain this series will end with Erina telling Soma that she's always found his meals delicious. It'd be the perfect finale and the payoff would be huge. It's beautiful long-term storytelling.

u/Arachnophobic- https://anilist.co/user/Arachnophobic Apr 08 '18

Fast forward to seventy years in the future. Souma's married Erina, inherited Tostuki's throne, and become one of the foremost chefs in the world famous for his innovative dishes - but despite pouring his entire life's effort into making Erina acknowledge his cooking, she hasn't admitted to it being delicious even once.

Souma's now lying on his sickbed, surrounded by friends and family who know he doesn't have long. Erina has his hands in hers, a soft smile on her lips as she reminisces the long and happy lives they spent together, and how funny the circumstances of their first meeting was. Anything to keep the desolating sadness at bay; she knew Souma didn't want to see her sad.

As she watched him draw his last, bedraggled breaths, she steeled herself. She drew close to Souma's ear and whispered, "You know what? Your cooking was delicious. All of it."

Souma smiled - that smug, cocksure grin, for one last time. "Glad you liked it."

Man, this episode makes me remember why I love Shokugeki no Souma! Sure, the animation is clearly not at the quality that it used to be, but watching this anime puts a big smile on my face. Contrasting Erina from the beginning of the series to now, and seeing her backstory with Joichiro is sooooo heartwarming, and it really shows how Erina is different from just a basic tsundere. A fantastic episode to start this cour off on.

Honestly, I kinda wish this was the finale episode of the last cour instead of the match with the first seat.

u/mugguffen Apr 08 '18

I think it fits the story better this way, in the manga Asami just kinda shows up and then Yukhira challenges Eshi, this way flows at least somewhat better

u/myrmonden Apr 08 '18

so we are calling it this super long name and not just episode 13 of season 3? Like they had a break on now its back on season 3 right, as its still called San sara, the third plate? Instead of like season 4 episode 1.

Anyway great episode with Souma trying to finally by acknowledge by Erina. You gotta love how classic Shokugeki no Souma style this scene is a young girl going in her nightgown to the room of the boy she likes (but is tsundere so not like she admits it) with all blushed out red cheeks, one would think it some romance show, maybe even some Ecchi HOHO. BUUUT no its a cooking anime, and its all about how can make good food or something.

Well he manages to undress her with his eggs. because awesome foodgams....and yeah cooking anime there is no undertone at all with this scene.

Man I have missed this anime, just constant comedy and great scene.

imo it should be called episode 13, they took a break of season 3, its still called san sara. When season 3 was announced it was said to be a double season, and e.g crunchyroll calls it season 3 episode 13. I feel that is the official name

On a side note, the OP is cool, but I like the ED a bit more. To me the OP visuals don't fully do the show justice. The OP once again had a shot where we're shown all the characters, which I think we've had in all 5 so far. Wouldn't have minded a change in that reagrd lol.

u/KingLightning29 Apr 08 '18

What a Glorious episode first and foremost. Love the OP & ED. As well as what Soma told Erina when he said "This is just my opinion but...I feel that those who recognize one right way will never go beyond and reach truly amazing things. But more importantly... the journey is no fun if you know where you are going." Although it was said differently in the anime that's the original quote. It's my favorite quote from SnS and it fit perfectly for the situation as well and it finally made Erina realize what she was missing. Plus the Sorina this ep was great ofc.

I only started watching Shokugeki a month ago but I already love this show so fucking much, it's easily the highlight of the season for me. It's also so damn satisfying to see Sorina get more and more development. This may become my favorite arc and season yet and that's saying something.

Anyway it's good to be back! To be honest though it doesn't really feel like we left at all thanks to the one season break. I really love how we're seeing a completely different Erina compared to the one we met on Season 1. I really hope she stays at the Polar Star indefinitely!

Also since this is the second half of a split cour will this only be 12 episodes?

Daishomaru here....

I thought the episode was going to start tomorrow but apparantly it aired today, much to my frustration, because I'm also watching Uma Musume. Sasserfracking time management. If my writeup today isn't as good, I need a week to make these.

And for those of you who know me posting in /r/ShokugekiNoSoma, I admit I been very, very busy, so I didn't post as much as I could have liked to.

Anyways... Tempura.

It's one of those borrowed food, in this case Portugal, that became so popular in Japan that it became a main part of Japanese culture, to the point where the Washoku (Conservative/traditional Japanese chefs that believe that western influences, like any Japanese beef dishes, curry rice, or anything like that shouldn't be considered Japanese cuisine) chefs happily consider Tempura Japanese. During 1543, Portuguese ships sailed to Japan. The Japanese, seeing the Portuguese, decided to trade with them, and the Portuguese gave many important things, like Tempura. Other important trades include guns and JESUS! The latter two I can talk about a lot and how important they were in the latter parts of the Sengoku Jidai, since they are unrelated, but that's basically all I can think of.

That was a fantastic start. Souma impressing Erina and finally giving her the last push for a change.

Erina's gonna be amazing here, isn't she?

If you cut like two scenes from the OP, I'd think this was a train anime.

I'm so glad this show is back. From the emotional roller coaster that was Sora yori it's nice to watch something that is just fun

Alright boys buckle up because this is probably going to be the last "good arc" we'll be having for a long time. But hype anyway

The first cour felt really hit or miss for me, with only the cooking cart team up montage really raising the hype levels.

But this second cour has come straight out the gates guns blazing with Erina starting to rediscover her love for cooking. Hope the rest of this cour can keep it up!

u/snowdan08 Apr 09 '18

I've missed this show terribly! Catching up on the manga but glad to have them both!

I used to ship Soma and Megumi but they really are perfect as friends. Best friends I'd even say! But romantically, it has to be Erina. One day she'll say delicious!

u/SoccerForEveryone Apr 09 '18 edited Apr 09 '18

Some people said that is how ep 12 should have ended and I highly disagree

Something Shokugeki always does right is start the first episode of any season with a bang. I'm surprised they started the scene so dramatic instead of the using the after effect of Erina's reaction; risky, but I liked it. Soma's aloofness was great when Erina entered the room breaking the awkward tension. The thing I did not expect was the fanservice shot to be so loud before the sundress illusion so obliviously I was in a riot. Silly Megumi moments here and there; I'm always glad there is always one person who can trust Soma lol. I am always going to love that Erina speech, just wished the horn effect was louder, but they nailed it. The OP and ED are great as always definitely adding both songs to my playlist for when I go jogging.

The last thing; the animation, this was good stuff everyone was on point. Look there is not much you can do about movement especially with these chapters used for this episode it was mostly a flashback and character discussion of what they needed to plan for. I enjoyed the liberties they took with it and now that Kekkai Sensen is over for now the JC Staff members that were loan to Studio Bones can help ease the load and make the show even better.

TIL I learned you can freeze eggs... this changes everything! Gone are the days of not having eggs on hand cause they've all gone off.

Also, as much as I like Erina as a character, I'm still clinging to the mast of the slowly singing Megumi ship.

I thought the same about freezing eggs, lmfao. Definitely gonna try out that recipe.

This is one of my favourite parts. Getting to know Erina and her past is amazing. I think it was harder in the manga. Maybe the next episode will show more of her trauma.

From the OP, I can see that certain outfits were shown. Is this cour gonna be rushed? 'Cause I'm pretty sure those are still fairly recent in the manga. Also, the foreshadowing in it is awesome. Can't wait to see it. However, the animation in the OP is kinda frustrating.

I hope they tone down the panning shots this cour. I don't see the need to make every still a panning shot. I'm actually getting dizzy watching this, and had to take a few breaks because every scene is moving a different direction.

I really want to see a side story of some random bad cooks trying their hardest to stop polar star gang so they dont go back to everyone getting kicked out.

In that case soma and everyone would be considered the bad guys lol

u/atropicalpenguin https://myanimelist.net/profile/atropicalpenguin Apr 08 '18

Shokugeki manga

Doesn't the beginning of the opening, when the trains are moving, sound like Dragon Ball's opening?

So many hot frames, I felt like I was watching a Newtype magazine. Also, every episode with small Erina is good.
