It's pretty clear what Tsukuda is trying to do. This shit is ending after this arc.

Yep, but user it is obvious that this is the plot armor of the protagonist, not of the bastard of Asahi... And I hope this shit is over soon too

I leave this as reminder.

Also again with b*itch Erina??? 2 years went down the drain because she have mommy issues.
We need a title change for this manga like Shokugeki no familia because everthing in the story is caused by a bad or evil parent.

She deserves a good slap ... I would enjoy it so much if Soma does it and says a few truths to her face. The comeback of the badass Soma would fix this shit a bit at least.

Well his is fault that the story is rushed.
Instead of introducing superpowers and other competitions he could very well concentrate on other things like the other characters or add other schools yes is cliche ,but much better than this shit we have now.
Sales speak clear, people dont like this arc and now this manga is rushing to the end because of this.

>Erina is troubled by something and becomes harsh
>This is BS
So people can't have bad moments? What you are saying is ridiculous.

I would like to see some good slap on Erina face, she deserves it.
Also erina from the start of this arc to now she's behaving like a 12-year-old girl.
To think that this person is also the headmaster of Japan's most prestigious cooking school while being a student in the same school, good lord.

wasted cute

No they are right.
This isnt a bad moment for her , she is regressing in what she was under the influence of her father (throwing in the trash dishes that are not good), do everything alone because she believe to be above the rest etc., these are all problems that have come out and resolved (we thought) in the last arc.
All this happens because the writer is recycling what he has done in the past because he broke the narrative with the entrance of Azami in the story

can the nakiri family just fuck off already? alice and her parents can stay but fuck every other nakiri

Are you implying that Erina and Souma are half sibkings?

Another arc with Erina's problem and about her fucking shit family? This is BS and if you do not see it you are blind. Another time the same shit about Soma saving the princess. And no, this is not just a bad moment, she destroy all the progress of the last arc where she learn the lesson of loving her cooking, did you really read the manga user?

>why Erina is such a bitch again?
again?she is always like that since the chapter 1

>>Asahi says that he’s the only one who can make Erina’s wish a reality.
Megumi is the only one who can make Erina's wish a reality

Any theory of what is the deal that the retard of Asahi wants to do with Erina?
I dont think it is only about the marriage shit, maybe he will promise her that he will destroy the organization of the BLUE and her mother

Why did the arc become about Erina again?

Its seems that this retard is saying that only he can make her wish reality.
Dont ask me what this wish is because until now we didnt even know about this aspect, again.
Probably something related to her mom issues bla bla.

Which begs the eternal question
was it the editor
or was it tsukuda?

tsukuda

Editor probably thought that the decline of Souma during rdc could be fixed by giving spotlight to the most popular character.

Destroying* the most popular character, what a wonderful idea!!

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS ERINA BULLSHIT

Haven't read anything for months, does is still have ntr shit?

Not enough, sadly.

Wait WHAT? I dropped the manga. What happened?

Both

Well, the development of Erina in the previous arc where she learned to love her cooking and love what she is doing was for nothing (2 fucking years of this shit). Now in 1 chapter she is crazy and throws her plate in the trash even though she has destroyed Takumi in the shokugeki... It's like Joichiro before, she does not agree with anything she's doing and does not enjoy cooking.
And yes, you did well dropping this shit.

God fucking dammit, seriously? Fuck you Tsukuda, and fuck you whoever's the editor.

>O MY LA GRANDE MADRE
Really, Tsukuda?
>O MY QUALITY DRAWING
Not you too, Tosh.

Tosh probably dreams of going back to drawing porn

Even after the manga ends, please let Megumi still exist in future works. Naked Megumi would be very nice.

Central and RdC in especial were gradually changing that.

Unironically this.

I always like Takumi/Erina interactions but certainly not like this.

The birth of Dark Erina.

what happened in volume 14?

Best arc Stagiaire.

It covered the Stagiaire Arc with Shinomiya and the intro to the E10/Moon Banquet festival. Peak Shokugeki, basically.

So what are the chances the mom seeks "the best dish" so her beloved daughter won't have to endure the same hardship as she did with her god tongue. Her shit dad OTOH chose to try to train her that she can make "the best dish that can please the god tongue" by herself. Cue to "we all did this because we wuv you so much, Erina, darling!" Then probably followed by her and Souma cooking together to achieve the ultimate dish that'll cure Erina's mom. But hold! They learn from this that love was the ultimate ingredient all along and Souma will have a flashback to what his Dad told him, with a profound look on his face.

The End It was fucking nothing.

based tsukuda
he already ruined his own manga with azami, now he's bringing in azami 2.0 to ensure it gets axed for good

Damn, it had so much potential. Everything went tumbling down the second Azami appeared and we focused on Erina's daddy issues.

The editor should rightfully be blamed because he's the one that has the final say in how things should develop.
If I was the editor and Tsukuda told me that the next arc would focus on light and dark chefs, ridiculous tools and superpowers, I would slap his shit.

It just makes me sad lads

It was never my favourite series, but I enjoyed it a lot and it made me happy, and now it's fucking horrid and makes me want to kill myself while wondering where did everything go so wrong. Like seeing your kid turn into a junkie and eventually die from an OD.

Nope. You clearly know nothing about how the industry works.

Let’s gather around the dinner table,
Setting spaces for,
Yesterday’s mistakes,
And uncertain tomorrows.
Y’know, I don’t need a thing;
I don’t need,
Exquisite flavors,
Or fancy presentation.
Even if the taste of tears,
Is salty –
In the end,
If you can still smile,
That’s spice.

What the fuck happened man this used to be so good. It used to be so fun.

>Souma vs spice
You mean the 12 chapter battle that was so long and bad, that Tsukada personally had to apologize on twitter for it?

What does a manga editor do?

i dont believe you

He doesn't have the final say. That's for sure. It's clear that no one really gives a fuck anymore. Tsukuda doesn't going by the writing, Tosh doesn't going by the dwindling art, and the higher ups for not doing anything to salvage the manga that's been going downhill in not only rankings, but sales as well. Soma going to complete shit isn't even a surprise since a lot of series running in WSJ go bad since mangaka write themselves into a corner.

There's a documentary about the manga industry that covers that topic. It's called Bakuman

I read Bakuman a very long time ago but as far as I remember the editors had a lot of saying in the manga.
Just tell me what does a manga editor do?

Can someone give me a summary on what happened I only finished half of the central arc

>soma's bother

I really thought the central arc was like the last arc

jou got BTFO by el hermano, el hermano wants to marry erina for her tongue, NTR shit where he carries her like a bride and literally throws souma in a garbage can, kidnaps erina as well, new villains are even more ridiculous, COOKING WITH A CHAINSAW, evil mommy nakiri, erina regresses to her cold self out of nowhere even though one of the main points of the last arc was to defrost her once and for all

Judging by the end of the chapter, it's going to get worse before it gets better. On the plus side, they're clearly rushing through this arc so there isn't much padding or filler to sit through.

Poor Tosh, what did he do to deserve his art getting used on this bullshit?

Tosh will be fine. He'll land back on his feet and team up with a better writer. Tsukuda's career is dead however.

Motherfucking STROMBOLO!

I dropped this series so long ago I had no idea it had passed 300 chapters.

What was the big reveal/twist in 300?

Why, yes, dirt looks good compared to literal excrement.

Erina's mom.

Erina is Souma's mom

Souma cooks a dish so good that it sends her back in time. It's why Jouichiro wanted Souma to cook for her

>Erina's mom
Did anyone even care or wonder about her mom aside from memeing about her being Souma's mom? I didn't even care about Erina's dad until he dragged the manga down. What sort of woman married Azami in the first place and then just left her kid with him?

Apparently she is worse than him or something.

This is cringe as fuck. Literally "O MY RUBBER NEN"-tier bullshit.

What if Tsukuda was aiming for this plot from the start? All the time, wanted to write about nen cooks, light vs dark, and our hero saving the day and getting the girl. All the usual stuff. But he kept himself in check and wrote a compromise of a battle shonen manga instead. And he didn't like what he got himself into, having created a simple, relaxed cooking manga with comedy and neat characters. So at some point he started leaning to the other side with Azami, but that really didn't fit the former tone, rather it sucked, he realized it. So he said "fuck it, I'm doing this shit. I hate it anyway, so at least I'll write what I want".

Then he's an idiot.

Hell's Kitchen was a way better shounen cooking battle manga than this, and I'm sad the author gave it up for Nobunaga no Chef.

>What if Tsukuda was aiming for this plot from the start? All the time, wanted to write about nen cooks, light vs dark, and our hero saving the day and getting the girl. All the usual stuff.
Reminds me of Negima, kinda.

>erina beats el hermano
>however, el hermano has managed to corrupt her into the ultimate dark chef
I can already feel some garbage like this coming just to get a Dark Erina vs Soma ending.

>el hermano is coughing up blood
>"you are too late. I have already won"

>What if Tsukuda was aiming for this plot from the start?
Then he's a shit writer who used up his best ideas before the series hit 100 chapters.

youtube.com/watch?v=1LbWWx80ZPA

The manga does need to do Souma vs Erina once before it ends, and Asahi beating Erina and her needing to be saved from marriage by Souma would be retarded but I can't put it past Tsukuda. But no, Souma's definitely going to face the guy who beat Jou and has all the superpowers. So best case scenario is he faces Asahi with the winner facing Erina or something. Then Souma can beat her and teach Mana to love food again with diner dishes or whatever.

Fuck this shit, seriously he threw erina's development through the window, 60 fucking central chapters. Hope this faggot Tsukuda gets a horrible death or at least doesn't have other work serialized

>Hope this faggot Tsukuda gets a horrible death

At least the winners of cooking battles are pretty arbitary to begin with, so there is little room for asspulls.

I don't even dislike the superhuman abilities themselves. You can just see them as the chuuni version of specific talents, similarly to Saki abilities or how Medaka Box handled it. What's really dumb about it is that el hermano can copy those under specific conditions, cause that actually makes them certain things that can be transfered somehow instead of just being chuuni shit. And chuuni perfectly fits SnS' over the top setting.

Don't.

Asahi is Gil, and Souma is Shirou. Asahi is the collector of the originals, while Souma is copying. I don't know but it's probably the case.
>asahi multiplies with the abilities he stole
>souma is EXPONENTIAL with the abilities
Regardless this whole thing is a shitstorm and a waste of time trying to make sense of. A cooking battle-shonen never makes much sense at the top level. Assuming everything is prepared at the highest level, it's hard to explain how something can be objectively better in taste, hence the asspulls in "muh themes" and of course, the God Tongue.

seething sorina faggot

So, Erina went Ashura? What a crappy development. What was the point behind all that retarded Central storyline? I mean, why does she even care if her mum is being a bitch. She had already moved on from Azami, why didn't she do the same with Mana?
Can't Tsukuda write a decent plot, for once? The story didn't need Erina regressing in character, only to add more plot contrivances, when the whole El Hermano thing was already extremely stupid.

It doesn't have any sense, that theory is bs. And it is impossible that something like that happen in a shonen (even Tsukuda and the editor aren't that crazy), and more being the main villain and the protagonist of the series...

I just want this to end so Tosh either goes back to his doujins or puts his ecchi skills to better use.

He suggests you ideas and where to go with the story. Sometimes the editor or the author are hotheads and there are disagreements on how to continue the manga, but in the end the editor is the one ultimately in charge of what gets sent to the magazine, so he has an important degree of power over the contents. Some editors are infamous(like Dragon Ball's, where Toriyama was forced to continue the manga after Freeza, and was forced to change the main villain of the next arc 2 times before settling on Cell. All that bullshit was all the editor.)

If the author is fucking up, it's the editor's job to call out his bad ideas and suggest him better ones. He's a safety valve.

There are Dozens of us, brother.

None of them would have ruined this manga under a competent author.
If it wasn't them who ruined this, it would have been something else. Hell, the MC is probably one of the worst developed I've seen in a shounen manga. Naruto and Ichigo are well-written characters next to Souma, who's little more than a walking gimmick.
Seriously, the only good thing about this manga, right now, are the designs, and I would dare say Tosh's art has probably even degraded a bit.

This manga has had like 3-4 editors by now, and none of them seem to have been able to exert any meaningful authority on Tsukuda. The guy clearly came up with a fun concept, but it's obvious he's got close to no writing skills. It should have been the job of the editors to guide him into write a decent story. Instead, it seems they've given him free rein, considering how atrocious the writing became once he decided to add plot to this once sports-like shounen manga.

>Destroying* the most popular character, what a wonderful idea!!
It'll gonna end like Prison School.

What are some of the theories regarding what Souma’a superpower will be? If any.

At this point I’d rather read wishful thinking from kindred niggers than expect anything from this.

It turns out that Souma has his own dormant version of the God Tongue for poorly contrived reasons.

Wow this is really getting rushed.

Whatever it is, it’s gonna have the word “diner” somewhere in its name.

You call that interaction worth remembering? Soma's and Erina's interactions are the ones anyone would care about since their reactions are actually entertaining, not that once in a lifetime bullshit.

that will be the last time takumi ever cooks in this manga right

I tried looking up videos of food getting cut with chainsaws to see if the tool had even a tiny bit of merit being in that panel. All I found was footage of large slabs of meat getting hacked up, and little chunks would fly out every time the chainsaw made contact with it.
So yeah, the author isn’t even trying anymore.

at this point i think it has actually surpassed prison school at how low a story can fall

it's like soma actually regressed. Stagiare was about him growing out of that idea but since then it was all about him falling back to that

Tosh really had a lot of pull on this being succesful in the first place, and i think he now realizes how much this shit is done and not puting any more effort.

>This manga has had like 3-4 editors by now, and none of them seem to have been able to exert any meaningful authority on Tsukuda. The guy clearly came up with a fun concept, but it's obvious he's got close to no writing skills.
I would say the saddest part here is that Tsukuda actually has some skills but zero self-awareness on where his strength lies. Story was great when it relied on the interaction between quirky, lovable characters, yet he mostly threw those away to just keep pining for plot relying on higher power levels and stakes.

I remember when I tried telling Erina faggots that Erina threw away food all the time and it made no fucking sense why she was having mental breakdowns over throwing away food in the Asami arc.

Fuck Erinafags. This is what you get for defending this shit.

She was never a good character. Just because she has the most cancerous fags fawning over doesn't mean the story should've ever focused on her.

It's crazy how even a perfect artist like Murata got a downgrade in art but guys like Hori are only improving.

takumi and megumi deserve to be in a better manga

To be fair thats what they are supposed to do with regular teeth to ensure you dont get jams.
With straight instead of curved ones you could do it without shit flying everywhere.

The bigger issue is a fucking knife does the same thing a million times better.

I miss the good times back when Megumi was our heroine

the only way i can see this shit somewhat redeeming itself is by throwing all predictable outcomes to the trash.
Have the story end by 1- battle between hermano and Megumi. Megumi wins.
2- battle between Soma and Erina. Soma wins. All machiavellian plans are undone, Erina regains her sunny demeanor.
3- with all dramatic plots solved, and almost as an epilogue, finishing battle between Soma and Megumi.

I miss the good times when we had mor than 3 characters.

Is this really Tosh? The art looks like ass

Tsukuda's writing is shit and barely makes foodgasms, and the foodgasms he does make have recently been more male than female. He's just as sick of this shit as we are.

That's weekly serialized manga for you. There's no shortage of artists whose work end up deteriorating over the course of their respective series.

The manga is so shit tosh stop giving a fuck about it.

Don't believe his lies.

Yeah, I did realized that he was trolling me but thanks anyway

I assume that this is a fanart from one of those three fangirl, right?

No

Yes, is from doromame i think.
She ship these two but at the same time Erina and souma. I can undestrand the second one but the first one? I think the 5 pages of BS flashback of El hermano did their job on someone.

I stopped after erina got kidnapped and we were introduced to asahi's gang of dark chefs, give me the full rundown

> hermano vs megumi
O MY MOTHERLY COOKING

Soma,megumi,takumi and Eishi are invited at BLUE, el hermano came but its seems that he had a special pass, so he can go direct to the 3rd round without doing nothing.Erina obviously is there as well, tsundere behavior with her kidnapper, BS backstory of El hermano. The "Dark chefs" are invited, the big theme of this BLUE is "Light" chefs vs "Dark" chefs who possess superpowers ,someone is even cooking with a chainsaw or Baking a cake with a clusterbomb. Asahi vs Eishi ,7 pages after, Eishi lose 3-0 without showing his dish, asahi has a nen ability that permit him (with some condition)to steal the opponent ability............ Tag team Souma and Takumi vs Gay Dark chef, some flashback, they win. Suprise suprise mommy nakiri appear + Nakiri drama again, Erina regresses to her cold self in the span of ONE SINGLE chapter even though one of the main points of the last arc was to defrost her once and for all.

You are so annoying with that retard fanarts of that girls bros... It isnt even funny.

>erina mom somehow worse than azami
What the fuck, what is wrong this family

This is still going?

Please end it with NTR. I want maximum ass pain.

Yeah and it’s currently a pile of shit.

I will add something more than the guy above.
Her mother is another owner of the god tongue, but she has eaten so much gourmet food that she has now lost her appetite so because of this she left erina when she were a child.
I dont know if there are other reason to doing so but still a shitty move.To be honest isnt even a suprise because to marry a man like azami you have to be another asshole.
In short, the writer is trying to make us believe that the god tongue is a curse and not a talent...too bad that werent hint or foreshadowing before the last chapter of this thing, as usual Tsukuda writing.
Probably he is using the nakiri drama button(again) to try to keep the manga alive but in my opinion he did nothing but damage it.

>soma not only has to bring erina back but also her mom
>yfw we get oyakadon

Tosh's art hadn't degraded. He's still good at drawing. Tosh's problem is that Tsukuda is no longer giving him the proper motivation to work his hardest when Tsukuda's writing has gone so far down the shitter.

It's literally just Shirou and Archer's Projection Magic from Fate where they analyze the properties of each Noble Phantasm/cooking tool and figure out the best way to effectively use them based on the fighting style/cooking style of each Servant/chef.

Except in Fate it works since it's magic whereas in Soma, El Hermano's abilities are total bullshit and make no fucking sense for him to have, making him a total Gary Stu rather than a proper antagonist.

I honestly don't even care anymore.

I thought Erina was supposed to be the main rival of the series

why is she a damsel in distress now ?

What pisses me off is that Tsukuda didn't have to keep doing fucking tournaments or Erina drama to keep his sales. He could have given us something like the comfy train stuff in Hokkaido or Kuraage. We could have everyone outside of Soma, Erina, and others interact. Actually use his fucking characters instead of adding more. There's so much potential with what he could do with the series, but he acts like he has completely ran out of ideas. Adding filler is fine by then until you come up with another arc but Tsukuda just jumped right on to BLUE with no rush.

*no warning

I'm going to vomit

I kinda liked the guillotine because at least it sort of reminded me of those meat slicers at the deli. Too bad there was an insane bunny girl with a roided out arm operating it that made it look so stupid.
