Heh, 1 entre with 1 main dish. That's actually a tough challenge if you consider the stakes. Can't say I'm surprised to see Erina and Souma have some tough time cooperating. Teamwork is pretty much an essential to victory here.

This was a pretty tense episode despite the usual Shokugeki comedy. The meat foodgasm kinda reminds me of the very first episode of season 1...

This was actually better than all the previous episodes.

The gifting, I totally forgot about the Nakiri's family ability.
Souma's evil face lol and Azami's face when Souma presented his dish.

Well, that was a nice way to motivate Erina. Hopefully they will win the match.
Seeing Azami suffering a foodgasm was honestly hilarious. It doesn't fits his character at all.

Azami having foodgasm is so funny to watch especially with his gift. Teamwork is essential and ofc Soma presented a main dish.

90% of the scenes were just still images with only the mouths being animated. I had heard people complain about this before but never really noticed how bad it was...

Great episode!

Rindou and Tsukasa had presented their dishes, and what a rare ingredient Rindou used always, and also Tsukasa made an incredible dish with the same ingredient he used in that unnoficial shokugeki against Souma!

Souma evil face with the idea of using Erina God Tongue was glorious, and he using it really well!

Obvious Souma still done a main dish, with a lot of surprises, even activated Azami's gift!

Obvious awesome to see judges foodgasms, specially when judges stayed in underwear, they are gorgeous!

Well done Souma, you managed to provoke Erina for her to surpass her limits, in also a shokugeki between Souma and Erina!

Looking forward next episode!

Definitely the best episode till date.

Souma going head to head against Tsukasa with his main but appetizer dish was awesome. I also liked how he took Erina's help for it.

Azami with them abilities though. XD

Loved the final scene where Souma tells Erina this fight is really a Shokugeki between him and her.

For Souma to make a main-dish-looking dish as his appetizer, I mean there must be more behind it, but I guess it will have to wait till next week. What a way to get Erina fired up though, can't wait to see what kind of dish she will present to the judges and most importantly, her dad!

Finally a good episode, that’s what I want to see from this series. However, it’s the episode 10, until now it has been very disappointing from my point of view.

Not bad but why I feel the pace is still wrong especially for a last bout both of Ridno and Tsukasa took less than 10min to finish with the testing as well.

Let's see what Nakiri's specialty is in the next episode.

This is probably the first good episode in a while. Good pacing and a lot of its original style is starting to show back up. Hopefully the next few episodes can wrap up the arc nicely without getting boring again.

Wow, Yukihira is probably the only one who can provoke Erina and elevate her cooking to the top level, and it's exactly their rivalry that forces her to step of out her comfort zone and create the best dish she ever made.

Now I really hope her cooking undresses whole hall, otherwise this element wouldn't be even introduced. This gonna be epic.

The way I see it those may be as well as the last episodes of whole series so I hope the next two episodes are be even better.

How can something be so boring even though the pacing is so fast ?

It's really sad how a anime I really enjoyed became one of my biggest deception... and for what I understood it won't get any better quite the opposite actually

I also thought this episode was really fast, even more so when I remember how much time the manga took in comparison. But I actually don't mind since this bout is still a blast to watch.

Azami's gifting power is over the top, but I really like it, since it gave us some fanservice moments with the two WGO judges close to him being effected by it. Nice....

Only Soma could make an appetiser dish not only look like a main dish, but one that must've took a lot if inspiration from The Flintstones. It looks super yummy that I want to have a bite of it, too. =3

But overall, this episode was great. Along with the nice fanservice moments, both Rindo and Tsukasa's dishes looked really nice and the way that Soma threw the gauntlet at Erina at the end of the episode, challenging her to a shokugeki at a time like this was pretty hype.

The next episode is going to be awesome. =D

This was the best episode of the season so far, that doesn't say much though. This entire cour has been a terribly written tournament arc, not to mention that every episode was just a 20 minute slide-show, i at least expected them to go over their 30 dollar budget for this final shokugeki, hopefully the next cour is better.

ROFL, Soma going back to his roots and combined 2 random dishes he made into a Yukihira specialty

Not only that, but he declared Shokugeki against Erina in a partner match, LOL

So the final bout is finally here. Compared to Erina and Soma Rindo and Tsukasa's teamwork was far more in sync. Still the usage of Erina's god tongue to adjust the taste of the dish by Soma sure was a interesting move. Still that's one hell of an appetiser that Yukihira created though. Still to think that such a gamble would actually cause the gifting to happen. How entertaining indeed. Still its interesting in that the bout also turned into a mini contest between Erina and Soma. Though a tad arrogant Soma is correct in saying that without a top tiered dish that showcases all of Erina's skill that there's no way that her dish can beat Tsukasa and Rindo's dish. Looking forward to seeing what she will unleash next ep.

Love how this comes down to just Erina's dish, and not a head-on battle between another chef. It's more tense and entertaining for me this way. (Especially since three dishes were served in one episode, for once!)

Souma's audacity this episode really had me cracking up. He's so worthy of a main character I can't even express it. The caveman pate? Certainly didn't expect that to be an appetizer. The characters' reactions to it made the scene even better haha

what a strategy! Souma provoked Erina so that she'll be pumped-up and make her specialty because Souma knew Tsukasa's main dish is already a winner for all of those dish that Erina is planning!

It's brilliant because it forced her to carry the full brunt of their battle against the Elite 10 and prove herself in a way to Souma. She has to beat him in order to beat Tsukasa.

First episode in a while to get me pumped for the next episode.

I love everything about this season. The foodgasms never get old, and I gotta admit they help balance the thematic concerns and complex character philosophies perfectly.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?
