What even was that? Oh, I can't believe it. This end suppressed my expectations! I thought it would be bad, but it was really awful.

I'll give it 1 point for all the good days, another one for Yukihira as a character who stayed true to himself till the very end. Can't think of anything else, so it's 2/10.

What a let down. Even though this has been bad for a quite a few dozens of chapters, it's always frustrating to see an unfinished manga to end. Jump always do this. Uses an author for years and then, in the end, don't even let him finish his story properly.

WTF was this?!? Such a bs ending to a once good manga

And the fact this even got a 4th season is mindblowing. IF they even plan on adapting the full series end, I'm honest to god praying they go original at this point cuz I've seen fans from the West and Japan want this

So did this series just surpass Nisekoi and Bleach for worst ending ever of all time in a manga? Because HOLY SHIT this was beyond fucking terrible. I'm still sitting yelling "what the fuck was that?"

This author can fuck himself into a brick wall. And fuck the fourth season tbh. Yes I totally want to see this trash animated. GTFO.

8/10 series plummeted to a 6/10 and now it's a fucking 3.
Don't believe the hype.

Abominable Last 2 arcs killed this manga. It's a real shame. It was such a blast back in the day.

I hope the epilogue is at least average.

I actually want to lie down and cry, how could they destroy such a good manga? This makes Bleachs ending feel like Code Geass ending.

All I want from the last 3 chapters now is full on hentai or just fluff.

Well, it was predictable to Erina rejecting Souma's dish. But I did not think that they would leave a final TOO open just to make sure to sell something from the epilogue chapters.

I guess I still like the characters because I can not put less than 7/10, but this final arc killed everything I liked about this story: characters and shokugekis.

I think the most impressive thing about this mangaka is how once his story hit a certain point *cough* the Central Arc *cough* he literally demonstrated with perfection how to send a story on a consistent downward spiral. I'm just amazed at how lackluster this ending was. I know there's still going to be a little more but wow....this was beyond bad.

I'm still not even sure what score to give this. I want to say 3/10 but I feel like that might be immediate post-chapter hate lol, and maybe I'll wanna give it a 4 once I cool down later. Either way, it's amazing that a manga that showcased so much delicious food left such a bad taste in all of our mouths.

First two thirds were like an 8/10. Last third's a 4/10. More specifically, this final arc was a 2/10, while Central's more like a 5-6/10. I guess it's overall a 6/10. Idk, it feels weird to think about this series. When I look back at the last several chapters, I think a 6 is too generous. But when I think about early SnS, it's saddening to give it something like a 6. First 150-200 chapters will always be very memorable, and one of WSJ's best. But damn, nothing about this final arc worked well, minus a couple of flashback chapters.

So is chap 315 the actual ending or is there going to be an epilogue of some sort? OORR are they going to take a "To-Love Ru" Route and create a whole other set of mangas dedicating it to another arce? I mean we still have to deal with Soma actually surpassing his dad, graduation from school, seeing Erina's mom acknowledge her (Since they built that up so much), and having to witness the final resolution of soma returning back to his family dinner... the cliff hanger just seems too big to actually be the ending...

Should've ended with Central arc, the final arc was a complete shitshow rushed mess as it is tradition among WSJ manga for the most part, that weekly grind takes it's toll on the mangaka and they just want out.
5/10 for the good times before that last arc.

I'm late today because I already knew about the spoilers and didn't have the will to read it but now that I've done it I have to say that.............hahahahahahah back to the status quo, fck great Tsukuda, bravo.


Yeah i know that there are other 3 chapters but that will be an epilogue,something that is effective if the story is well constructed and the characters are present and active in the plot, but all these has been thrown into the trash 100 chapters ago (maybe even less).

This arc did so much damage to EVERY character that nobody came out from it well, take for example souma the "1 seat", well he doesnt need character grown because he has the "dinner wisdom" and nothing more.
Where is the Souma who defended Megumi at the beginning, who was angry with shinomiya where did that person go?

Erina went from a good female character to a victim to good female character and again to a NTR bait/ my mother doesnt accept me so I will leave this (personal)problem to other people.
It pains me to say this but erina is one of the biggest mary sue i had the displesure to see after this arc.....oh god what a shitty end.

The story between Joe and his wife was something that should have been put into the main story. Having it as one of the epilogue chapters seems to me pretty useless at this point but at least they did make the effort to put it for the fans who were expecting it.
I also want to say that if people are expecting some kind of closure between erina and souma i will say that after this chapter they must try to keep expectations low.
I am more than sure that the writer will only mentions the possibility of such things, a bit like the end of nurariyo no mago's manga.
I will read the extra chapters but only for shinomiya and hayato (who had a really shitty treatment as a character)

Hopefully these three epilogue chapters can somewhat salvage this series.


Salvage is a big word you know.
To heal this series serves much more than 3 chapters of 40 pages, not to mention the now lost confidence and involvement of the reader.

That was quite abrupt. It was like it was there and then not. Similar to a lot of people, this final arc really lost my interest. Hoping we can get more of a real ending from those extra chapters, but eh, I don't care that much either way.

Fun ride overall, especially when I quickly recount the beginning to mid of the series. All the absurd foodgasms and references made me laugh a ton! But yeah, started losing more and more interest once we got to the later arcs and that last arc truly left a bad taste in my mouth... ironically, lol.

Shokugeki was the first airing shounen that hooked me in back when I started with anime in 2015, it's such a hardhitting feeling to see it reaching its end even if that had to happen sooner or later.

Honestly I'm glad to say that I can't relate to the hate the series eventually got over time, excluding the start of this final arc, which honestly was pretty terrible IMO, everything has been consistently amazing to me. I will agree that early Shokugeki was it's best moment, but even now I still had an absolute blast and I'm quite satisfied with its conclusion.

9/10 from my part, thanks a lot for the years of fun and more fun that this work gave me, foodgasms FTW!

Greatest ending ever of my favorite series, bit rushed but can overlook it because of quality in last two arcs. What a journey this has been. Asahi is such a tragic villain, too bad that he lost to plot armour of Souma. Azami backstory was great too.

Last arc of shokugeki is my favorite arc ever along with Tokyo Ghoul re last arc.

The final 3 chapters were just as good as those before the whole Blue BS. I can see the author already had planned the ending of the series so he decided to rush the arc and give it a peculiar spin (the weapon-related cooking skills) so that the manga wouldn't be cancelled before reaching this sweet finale. Given that I think I can forgive him for how horrible and illogical the Blue arc was.

From the start of the manga until the end of the Azami arc I had given this manga a 10. From the start of Blue my scored kept falling and reached 2 where it stayed until today (I binged the last 4 chapters just now). Given the proper ending and how much I used to enjoy the series before the stupid super powers, fake loss of Joichiro to his fake son, gimmicky new characters, total erasure of Souma's character progress, the turning of the stripping phenomena into an actual special ability and.... ooops, trailed off with the plot holes. Anyway, given how good the manga used to be and how the ending made sense and was actually delivered epicly I'm setting my final score to 8.

And this arc is over. And so is the end of the Shonen Jump serialization but that gives 2 chapters for an epilogue. And hopefully a bonus one about Shinomiya and Hinako
And the last dumb thing Blue brought was a tower stripping. but that was funny
I rate the Blue Arc a 2/10. There was good moments at the begging with the death row and the 100$ dish but after when they introduce the abilities and rush dragged the arc down.
On another good note, Erina is back at the level of the character developpement she had before her regression. It underwhelms the ending that the one who grow most in this arc only did so because the growth of the previous arc was ignored

This arc was very disappointed. Like I thought they would add more struggle and hardships for Soma when he went against Asahi especially in thr final fight but they just used the same logic and plot armor he has done throughout this entire series. Very underwhelming and just no suspense at all. I also hate this wasn't a proper conclusion and I don't know why the manga ended like that. It was worse than bleach's ending

I am sad it ended this way... It was really rushed, did it got axed? This reminds me of Beelzebub which did awesomely but was ruined by a single uninspired arc. I don't know what was the author thinking when he comes up with the last arc... Sure it got on a quite ridiculous route with the Azami arc, pushing the gags to a whole different level. But at least the Azami arc was good and was saved by interesting characters and narrative. I would have been better if they kept things between students and their competitions thou... Anyway, this crap with the underworld cooks and their abilities was simply ridiculous. They should have taken a break after the end of Azami arc and think well about what they should do next. He should have gone on something a little more classic instead, like a competition between schools. At the beginning of the series, if I remember right, it was said that Totsuki was one of the most prestigious cooking school in Japan. I waited since the beginning of the series to see the other schools. It could have been much more interesting that way. Lot's of things could have been done instead with it. And this new guy, whatever his name may be, could have been introduced in a way more realist way as the ace of another school. They could have kept it up another 200 hundred chapters with such an arc, and finish the manga in glory instead of disgrace. Or they could have even ended it, and come up with a sequel post graduation... a kind of Shokugeki no Souma Shippuden. Something like Azami arc, for example, was far more suited for a post-graduation sequel.
To bad... This had been one of, if not my favorite manga since 2013-2014. And for all the years that followed, I never missed a chapter the day it was launched... I remember that in the first half, each chapter was ended in a cliffhanger, which was unique to this manga... the waiting was torture. Yet, in the past year, I lost my drive to follow it weekly... To bad... I won't shit on it for an arc, like others did, ignoring so much good material that exists in it. It will remain an exceptional manga for me, but it could have been a masterpiece.
