Episode 04
----------------
Hah, so much for finding Kuga's weakness. Souma might have lost due to long waiting times too had surprise help not turned up. Megumi's customer service was top notch, but in the end it was the donation of manpower that helped him out.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
i wouldnt said that mimasaka was donating manpower, more like it was a deliberated move on souma's part.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
the rest of the group? yes indeed it wasnt planned...
regardless this was a nice way to introduce mimasaka into the main cast
He probably would've lost without extra help, but this is Souma we are talking about. Despite being proud, he is a really great guy with tons of charisma. It was inevitable his friends will show up to help him, even if he doesn't think so himself. That's his edge over a little prick like Mapo-boy.
Peace.
Personally this was the first episode I've enjoyed in the series in quite some time.
Ep5-6
------------------------------------------------------------
The reason why the directer has changed is absolute garbage, but at least things are somewhat interesting now.
I like the Souma - Erina action too.
While I agree with you about the director change, the whole premise of an elite 10 is garbage, so that's nothing new.
I like the "beating the stuck up bitch into submission" route. Now all that remains is Erina using her God's Tongue on Souma's meat.
Peace.
The "eat meat until she finds it delicious" route?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
But she already thinks his meat is delicious. She just has to learn to admit that and enjoy the juice dribbling down her throat.
Peace.
What about it in particular?
I think the elite 10 is fairly reasonable
The 10 best studens get special rights and privelege, I'm fine with that.
What's stupid about it is that they are basically on top of the chain when it comes to decisions that affect the whole school/university.
Since their position is never secure and can be challenged at any time, it's ridicilous to give them any right of co-determination or something like workers' participation....
"they want a new director" -> director changed -> 3 guys fall out of the top 10 and get replaced the next day "we want a different director" -> director will change again.
It's like letting Ronaldo/Messi decide who gets to train the team, but even worse.
This. It has always been like this. This is just the first time they exercised that power to such a degree.
You gotta remember these are teenagers. That makes no sense.
Peace.
I don't remember them saying anything like that in the past. (that they can change rules etc.)
All I can recall is that they get super special kitchen and training grounds and can basically order any ingredient they want and the school will buy it for them etc.
This is from the wiki. Everything listed below supposedly happened before this director change thing.
The Elite Ten is an illustrious group of students in Tōtsuki comprised of the ten best students in the entire academy each year. This organization is responsible for handling the academy's internal evaluations, including judging the achievements based on the student presentations in the academy grounds as well as helping organize events including the Tōtsuki Autumn Election. Because of their status in the academy, they have certain freedoms when carrying out personal projects such as Erina Nakiri's kitchen expansion project, which resulted in the demolition and disbanding of many Tōtsuki clubs with famed history. They are also given a large budget by Tōtsuki Culinary Academy for them to utilize in any conceivable reason as long as the purchases are related to cooking and food research. The extent is shown through Rindō Kobayashi, who has used the funds from her position to go on numerous global expeditions to some of the most remote locations around in her search for quality ingredients. Their authority in the academy is second only to the director, Senzaemon Nakiri. That being said, even the lecturers have less authority than they do and must obey anything they say.
All of that is pretty ridiculous for students to be able to do.
If you have more authority, knowledge, and skill than your teachers, why even attend school..?
Peace.
So their authority is second only to the director, but they can replace the director? lol?
Also if I was in the Elite 10, I'd totally vote that I can delegate all of my shitty tasks to other people.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Only second to the director for each of them. A majority of them clearly surpasses even that.
I don't think they need a vote to delegate any task... Erina has buildings torn down and built for her...
Peace.
That's not how it "normally" works though.
A boss with 10 people under him is still the boss.
A general is still a general etc.
Well, anyway the idea is stupid indeed, can't really say the idea of them having a say in anything related to school affairs was shown in the anime before the replacement.
I always thought they were the "elite", but not the boss.

The building tear down and construction is a good example. Do you know any high schools in any country that do that as part of the system?
Peace.
She won the places by defeating the owners.
After all, that's what Shokugekis are all about.
Not sure how this is related.Do you know any high schools in any country that do that as part of the system?
I'm basically saying that they made up a new rule with that director replacement. And a very unbelievable one, not only by real worlds standards - which would be completely irrelevant, but also in the Food-wars universe itself.
The school decides on things, if students are unhappy, they can challenge it with a battle.
That's how it has been so far.

Oh I was comparing it to the real world from the start.
If you mean this director change is unbelievable in a world where people rip off their clothes in public while foodgasming, well, okay.
Peace.
Episode 8.
Ownage.
I totally agree with this judgment. Sure, Hainanese Chicken Rice is great and all and preserves the chicken flavor or whatever. But it is fucking boring. And mostly tasteless without the sauces... Simple is best doesn't cut it in high level cooking. It's like this Eizan dude didn't watch the competition last season...
Peace.
Ketchup!!!
