THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It was an alright episode, wish they didn't recap though as they used quite bit of footage from the previous episodes.

Akira has the most intimidating presence out of all competitors imo from that three way match. However, I did like how they focused a little more background story (8 years ago) including her history with Jun. Grats to Akira on the win. Souma and Ryou did pretty well too though imo.

Mehhh, Hayama. But Ryo is even more annoying so I guess it's ok.
I like how they mentioned the idea of 'cooking the way only you can cook'.
This episode seemed too short for some reason.

Well just like I said when I first read the manga, I always felt Hayama was probably the best chef out of the three of them stylistically especially in terms of uniqueness so I was pretty happy with this outcome. Felt the most believable to me at least (plus the MC always winning everything because #plotarmor in competitive anime/manga is pretty lame)

Not even surprised soma lost. When he presented his dish even with the porridge it was underwhelming and I could just feel he'd lose. The other two had more of an impact honestly. Oh well. (I was hoping for him to win in the back of my mind though)

It's only fair Hayama won, Souma's soy milk wasn't as creative. The last bit with the taste testing was so fun to watch, and I absolutely loved the phone call with Joichiro the show needs much more of him.

Two things I'm definetly excited about is the Signature Style of Cooking that was mentioned in this episode, and that this will be what Souma will pursue from now on. Secondly the Stagiaire, could be a good opportunity to introduce some new chefs.

It was like 12 chapters in the manga so they'll have to do 4 chapters per episode if so. Might be doable but it'll be kinda rushed

Great episode, Souma lost. :((( While I always appreciate the protagonists learning their losses and moving forward I still really wanted Souma to win. XD

They actually dealt with the reasoning behind why the crowd never acknowledges Souma and that was quite interesting as well, To not accept him simply because doing so would mean putting themselves down.
I really loved what Isshiki and his Dad in the flashback said about Souma. Souma might not be a genius cook but he certainly does work harder than everyone else and never lets himself be intimidated against overwhelming talent. The strength to accept and move forward no matter the odds, Well said Souma's Dad.

Hayama's flashback was nice, Always nice to see the relationship between him and Jun.

Ryo and Souma hanging out at Hayama's place and asking for comparisons was funny. xD

Souma's quest to find his own style of cooking, The Stagiaire should prove very interesting.

I actually getting tired of MC being weak. and when I found out this anime and the MC always win but not with his dad, I got the feeling that this anime/manga would be interesting.
this match is an exceptional for me as I look that Souma need some development to master his speciality, and I glad Souma didn't look so depressing even though he's trying so hard to compare the dish.

lol this is because Hayama has a woman to cook for, Ryo has Alice but he doesn't love her yet. Yukihira needs to pick himself a woman as well and he's got plenty of options to choose from so he should hurry it up.
It would probably be best if that woman was Erina even though I like Nikumi and Megumin more.

So the dishes were equally good, but because Akira has limited himself to only being able to do a specific kind of cooking, he wins? For being the worst chef? Okay.

Fuck Hayama, I feel like the chef who reflect his speciality in his dish was Ryo, thousand time more than Hayama. I was hoping:

1.Ryo
2.Soma
3.Hayama

Well, At least Soma didnt cry or something like that, i was waiting for it, specially when hi was talking with his father.

So 3 episodes for a entire Arc? manga readers, is this going to be fast pace as hell?

I'm surprised at how many dislike Hayama. As Gin said, his arrogance is basicly a way to push himself. I like how he's a lot less sure of himself than he seems.
I feel that conflicted characters are too often 'broken' people. Hayama is way more realistic in that regard.

In fact, the way people see themselfs is kinda a running theme in this show. You can only grow by pushing yourself.

Three episodes left huh..
With 'The Stagiaire' they probably mean an internship. They'll likely set the arc up in the next few episodes, but I think the full arc wil have to wait untill the next season.

I liked it.

Didn't throw an unreasonable curveball as to why Hayama won/soma lost.

Even in the real world, cooking with your own unique specialty and making it taste superior to other dishes, is pretty standard to a good chef.


I liked how Soma didn't reach a peak in his skills yet. I hope he figures out soon that the answer to his lack of specialty is the lack of anyone to dedicate it to. Competitive nature (ex: Soma v Jinchiro, Ryo vs Alice) can only get you so far, and its what Hayama has (ex: Hayama x Jun) that really drive him to be stronger.

WHEN WILL ERINA ACKNOWLEDGE SOMA SO HE CAN BECOME EVEN BETTER

Who's bright idea was that to put the flashback before Hayama's name was called? Simply switching the order of him being announced and the flashback would have made way more sense. Felt like the director dropped the ball there.

It's no surprise Hayama won because he already has a woman to cook for just as Jouichirou stated about his secret earlier. Souma was fighting for himself and has yet to realize that he needs to find the right woman (Erina) to dedicate his cooking to in order become a better chef.

I'm very excited to see my favorite arc finally getting animated next week.

Woman to cook for + Speciality = gg Hayama, he's also obviously a tier above the other 2 with his spices mastery, it's good that Soma doesn't win all the time.
I like how they showed Erina there when Joichirou was talking, perhaps a very subtle foreshadowing of what's to come.

Doesn't Soma already have Erina to cook for? All this time he wants to get into the elite 10 to beat Erina-sama and show her the D.....ishes he can make.
Anyways, great episode 10/10.

Congratulations to the three finalist who get into the finals, and a special congrats to Hayama who have won the Autumn Main Tournament!! ^.^
Besides Kyou-kun and Souma-kun had finish it in second, both of them don't feel down of their lost.. They keep on gauge their motivations and studying their plates. I feel it's amazing, cause since they didn't show their looser's face to Hayama!

EVERYONE though Souma was going to win, myself included, I'm so glad the series manages to rid itself of plot armor. Loved the arc, but this episode in particular felt a little meh. I actually really liked the part where the three of them where testing Hayama's food, maybe that was just a temporary thing, but I wish we got to see them together more.

It's kind of nice that Souma lost, it would be frustrating and boring to see the MC win all the time because of MC reasons. I'm glad to see that Souma is still in good spirits though, and he's using this loss as a way to help himself improve as a cook.

Cannot say I was surprised seeing Hayama's winning after all the hints about him being the most advanced of the three and after that flashback.

I liked the result, however, since Hayama is my favourite character and this time the plot armor of Souma was broken. Was refreshing to see the MC not winning for once.
It's also was interesting because that way Souma has finally found someone who is above him and can develop the motivation he needs to improve.

Btw, did anyone notice Isshiki talked with Souma's father in his usual apron without wearing nothing? What a man.
And, talking about Souma's father, the scene when he mocks Souma for losing was hillarious xD

I liked how the three finalists has became some short of buddies. Now they will do an stagiare period... Probably the last three episodes will treat about that.

Mimasaka watching Hayama's victory this time with a(n apparent) non malicious smile makes me happy. Wonder if he will appear in this season later.

with everything they've been doing with Hayama, i'm not surprised at all that he won. i did feel that Soma was gonna break down or something or beat himself up over it more, but i'm glad at how he didn't do that :P

seriously tho, there's only 3 episodes left and they introduce this new stagiare thing. wonder what they'll be doing with that ._.

I always thought that it was apron senpai's signature style? Nvm

>three buddies

Heh well........... I will just say what gin said to hayama "your talent will bare the fangs for you".

Anyway Stagaire was one of my fav arc, just hope it won't be too rushed. I am also hyped for the last ep for a certain someone to show up.

Also lol at the hate towards hayama, his natural talent with his style, his motivation to be at the top earns him the prize and puts him above the rest, rightfully so.

Abt whether mimasaka will appear this season

I don't think its cliché. That the MC loses to elevate the moment he finaly wins is something that happens quite a lot, and in a sport anime for example it's the real ciché.
