I have the impression that he really thinks that this is a good arc.
He's putting all his energy into making the manga as bad as possible, I don't know if he's a genius or an idiot.
Well...I can't deny that I'm interested in seeing how much you can ruin a story.

The thing that worries me the most is that he refers this as an arc. Does it mean that it will not end here, there will be more? Please no.
Probably the worst turn around I've ever seen in a story.
Even my normalfag friends who thinks that Naruto is a masterpiece has realized that Shokugeki no Soma has gone to shit
>I'm giving it my all every week
My sides are in orbit.
Spoiler me.What happened? I just watched the anime 2nd season.Is it turning like your anime originals?
>there will be more?
I don't think so since sales have fallen to a new low. With how rushed everything is, it seems like he's gotten canceled and needs to meet the deadline given to him. Central arc was shit as well, but I don't remember Tsukuda skipping the cooking. He was someone that really loved to draw the matches out for a few chapters.
giving it all to not give up?
Can't wait for the reveal that Erina is used goods.
Keep watching until Erina's father shows up. Just remember the anime ending before her dad appears.
If you are mad and go past this, just treat Souma's victory as the end.
I fucking loved this manga and seeing it die like this was horrible.
Fuck. Alright.
Erina's dad comes to cuck the academy and the only way they can write themselves out of the shitshow they created was to defeat the entire Elite 10, have Souma take #1 spot, and make Erina the Headmaster.
Now in the Blue Arc they've added a not real brother of Souma here to cuck him out of Erina and the academy as well as his dads inheritance. They've introduced literal superpowers, not even "I smell real good" but "I can hold a Knife and like Rogue steal the powers of their previous wielder." They've had people cooking with a Chainsword and TNT and have basically bent over backwards to do everything wrong.
Pic related, the main villain.
Remember when the other Polar Star members were relevant to the story and not total jobbers? Remember how that group was on the group that Souma had for himself but even that place had to get fucking Erina.
God I hate that bitch. Her presence ruined the entire series as it went on. She was in the elite 10 and very solid cook but now we find out she is better than the elite 10. What a sick joke.
Not the user who asked but you made me laugh like a retard.
He's probably having fun writing nonsense
>Remember when the other Polar Star members were relevant to the story and not total jobbers
This actually never really happened.
I mean it was always pretty obvious that Erina was going to go above and beyond the other Elite 10 members due to her special one of a kind tongue, but I do agree that the story took a deep plunge the moment she officially stepped into the heroine role.
You forgot how Erina's character development just gets completely reset for no reason, it's like Central never happened.
Holy shit I haven't read this series but I remember pictures of the chainsaw shit. That's not how fucking chainsaws work you can't whisk anything with them god damn.
Are those holsters just photoshopped in with a filter what the fuck
Good. Now maybe Tosh can get paired up with an ecchi writer instead.
So he was making stuff up as he went along this whole time?
I really don't see how we'll be able to get a decent ending after all this shit. Should have dropped it after the Stagiaire arc finished up.
>Ecchi
Porn all the way, lightweight.
He is simply in damage control, silly OP.
Super secret never before mentioned eevul brother shows up and is going to steal Erina and takeover the world of cooking with his DARK CHEFS who compete in the life or death world of underground cooking (and cook with shit like guillotines and chainsaws) and he has the ability to steal and improve other peoples cooking techniques by holding their knives.
I've never seen a manga jump the shark this hard in one arc.
Too late for that at this point
he should just come out and admit that he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing anymore
Do you know how hard it is to out-Kubo Kubo? This guy has to work HARD every week figuring out how to make his manga more ridiculous. I mean seriously "i have the magical power to steal cooking techniques by touching other chef's instruments" and "whoever said the Elite 10 were numbered 1-10?" this doesn't come easily.
>They didn't like dad arc?
>Fine!
>I'll write an arc so fucking terrible that dad arc will look like a masterpiece in comparison!
I mean to be fair it's not like he can just write that he's half assing the shit out of it there
Biggest breaking point of this manga. Jou jobbed to a random nobody that pop out of nowhere.
It's easy to literally ripoff Kubo (0th Espada, Aizen) and make it look more ridiculous because the original plot wasn't supernatural in the first place and was just literally cooking.
>Remember when the other Polar Star members were relevant to the story and not total jobbers?
You mean never?
>Do you know how hard it is to out-Kubo Kubo?
kubos asspulls asspulls were entertaining at least. this is just a dumpster fire.
A lot of nonsense
They might as well go full supernatural and put in the Shadow Realm at this point.
But how could souma jump the shark even harder? Lets list the ways.
1: Souma loses an arm, and gets a super precise robot arm that can chop super good.
2: A cooking AI appears that has an unlimited database of every internet cooking resource.
3: Erina dies.
4: Aizen cooks something so good that Kim jong un declares war on japan so that he can get the recipe.
5: The series ends on a cliffhanger before the judges take a bite, and a sequel series begins with Souma in jail, where he becomes good friends with everyone because of his food.
6: Souma must construct food using nothing but powdered chemicals and enzymes in order to feed and heal his disabled dad who was poisoned by an evil chef.
7: Megumi is abducted by an American food trainer, and she returns with a new goal of chasing on flavor and nothing else, creating dishes that literally sicken those that enjoy them.
8: Alice activates her sharingan
9: Literally alien ingredients are shipped in from space that will kill the whole world if not cooked.
He'll also regrow his arm after having some insane healing food cooked by some buddhist monk chef
>out-Kubo Kubo
This has the insane stupidity and bullshit of Kubo's work without the weirdness that made Bleach intriguing enough to suffer through, Tsukuda is fucking bush league in comparison.
In which chapter was his ability revealed?
I thought Shokugeki no Souma was a cooking manga.
Chapter 296
The manga has been quite bad for some time, but some people are just to cynical about it.
>chainsaw
>delicate
Pick one
GIVE
TOSH
BACK
>but some people are just to cynical about it.
Nah, it's pure shit at this point. No one, but shipfags defend this and even they're quiet.
What the fuck i'm reading.
This manga has gone into full battle shonen mode.
Oh god I sincerely hope 2 happens holy hell that would be hilarious
>Getting all the chain's grease/oil in the food.
That's gross.
>super special evil brother that is stronger than previously established characters coming out of fucking nowhere.
It was terrible from the start. This is plot twist 101 in the most contrived manner. Like reading a fanfic from a kid who has their MC/villain surviving by saying bullshit like, "It was a clone". The superpower aspect is just the cherry on top. What makes it worse is the fact that none of this was ever allude from the beginning.
This might as well go full Toriko and have Soma ingest some Gourmet cells to cook better.
I don't read the manga but
>niggerstream
No they are probably just fine on a decent scan
>2: A cooking AI appears that has an unlimited database of every internet cooking resource.
domo aligato user-kun taking this I am
Is this the new Medaka Box?
>ruin a story
implying that Soma wasn't always trash from chapter 1
Bruh don't give Tsukuda any ideas. I'm fully expecting a robot chef now.
Fuck you
Never compare medaka box to this gutter trash again
I havn't watched/read Soma. The concept itself of a cooking manga with that being all that's going on in it, sounds boring as fuck as a premise. Its a wonder retards with such awful taste(pun not intended) as yourself have been reading and keeping up with this manga for over 300 chapters without dropping it. Must feel good right now having your life wasted for trash.
With 300 chapters of such a boring premise it was bound to turn to shit and not be appealing eventually. I would say I'm not sure how you didn't see it coming, but to be so retarded that you enjoy reading a cooking manga for 300+ chapters i can't even say that
Medaka box was at least mostly upfront about it's ridiculousness.
>9: Literally alien ingredients are shipped in from space that will kill the whole world if not cooked.
SPACE RECIPES
So...kind of like Mimasaka? But without any research?
>pic related but with cooking
I can't wait.
Shame too because season one was pretty good.
What was wrong with the formula of good food turning people into strippers?
Also damn it sounds like Erina went full Mary Sue by this point. Always liked Megumi better anyways.
Its the anti-Medaka. Medaka looked like shit but turned out to be great. Souma looked great but turned out to be shit.
For the love of god axe this trash already
Shokugeki died over a year ago
>STOP STOP HE'S ALREADY DEAD!
>Must feel good right now having your life wasted for trash.
says the one roaming Yea Forums like the rest of us
Nah, Some was really good at the start.
>Toriko died for this
Souma time travels into the past when it good.
And ruins it.
Wasn't this Tosh's manga? What happened to him?
But Medaka Box knew what it was from the beginning
I used to love Iron Chef as a kid. This manga recaptured that enjoyment while adding a colorful cast, reasonable stakes, and creative fanservice to the mix.
This most recent arc has taken literally everything I used to love about this manga and dumped it into the trash.
>world food Olympics on Japan and Souma has to participate AND take first to avoid expulsion
>Food World War happens and Souma has to defend Japan against all the presidential chiefs, special collab with cory in the house
>Souma discover he has a sister this time and his brother is the "Index" of the food world, with all the 103,000 forbidden food recipes sealed on her mind and he need to defeat her in a new shokugeki to avoid her taking the academy
>LGBTBBQ+ the new westerner special food force enter Japan trying to change the food world and Souma has to defeat them using a new and unexpected ingredient that is Semen?!?!?
>Azami fakkatsu no A
>Kin Jong Un goes to war with Japan and the only way to avoid Japan destruction is to put all the best chiefs to fight Kin Jong Un speciality that is cooking
Could you imagine if an author hated what he wrote so much that he ended up playing the "it was all just a dream" and retconning half the story? If there's any situation where I would welcome it, its now.
>good at the start
thats the thing, the premise of a cooking manga by itself was never meant to expand for over 300+ chapters. You can make a weak premise appear good for only so long.
spent less time on Yea Forums than you have on soma,
I've read fanfics that aren't this shitty.
>and his sister
fix'ed
There's nothing wrong with the premise. Tsukuda is just a hack. You can't tell me there aren't mangaka out there who could make a compelling 500 or 600 chapter story with Tsukuda's setting and characters.
>thats the thing, the premise of a cooking manga by itself was never meant to expand for over 300+ chapters. You can make a weak premise appear good for only so long.
We've had Iron Chef on some iteration for nearly 30 years by now.
Tsukuda has gone MAD!!! I dunno if he has yes-men around him telling him how "good" the arc is, or he's faking it (he knows its a shit arc but he keeps on going)
Someone has to STOP THIS MAN asap!!!
But when you put it that way, it looks and sounds fucking hilarious.
>thats the thing, the premise of a cooking manga by itself was never meant to expand for over 300+ chapters. You can make a weak premise appear good for only so long.
Yakitate!! Japan went for 242 chapters with JUST BREAD. Food as a subject is more vast than most. There's almost no limit to what you can do with it, if you're willing to put in the work.
And Professional Basketball has existed for over 50 years. It doesn't mean it deserves 300+ chapters to tell a simple sports story. Both Slam Dunk and Kuroko stop short of 300 for a reason.
no. tosh just does the art
10: Souma loses a shokugeki being held in a temple and god punishes his disgrace by sending him to actual hell, where he must fight against the greatest chefs of old. The romans who invented cheesecake, the first sushi chef, etc.
11: Ikumi gets a taste for human meat.
12: The Nakiri family is revealed to be a genetic experiment to create the perfect chefs.
13: Souma must cook music.
14: A man with a tail is introduced, he stands on the tail and cooks with all 4 limbs.
15: Cannibal island arc.
16: Megumi is revealed to have a prearranged marriage with a circus chef.
17: A pervert chef feeds Erina something that gets her pregnant.
18: bodyswap arc.
>It doesn't mean it deserves 300+ chapters to tell a simple sports story. Both Slam Dunk and Kuroko stop short of 300 for a reason.
Slam Dunk is perfect. Kuroko is shit.
>the peak
>I'm glad it's over.jpg
I watched the first season and was like "I enjoyed it, but I think I've had enough". Now I feel like a wiseman.
I had similar, except I also watched S2 and thought "I've definitely watched too much".
Season 1 felt much more self aware on how goofy the general idea for the show is.
What was Shun's purpose in the story? I was pretty sure that Tsukuda was setting him up for a sub-plot.
>has the ability to steal and improve other people's technique
When was the last time a shounen story didn't have a guy like that?
i know that hair style, in spanish they know it as el peinado follador.
Reminder.
>3: Erina dies.
But Souma or Megumi use their super secret bloodline technique that they just discovered to soul-bind her to their soul thus gaining a spirit companion that can spirit sample their food and give them their turbo cooking skills
As Erina becomes a ghost her tongue also evolves, it is no longer God Tongue but Shinigami Tongue, fuck, she gets promoted into a Shinigami after sending enough Evil Chefs and her killer to the shadow cooking realm where all chefs are eternally tortured by disgusting cooking made by El Diablo De Cocina
Speaking of El Diablo De Cocina, Souma's father and Souma are a descendants of the cooking devil hence their love for disgusting recipes and their red hair
Dou di bloodline activation, i like it.
Also at some point Megumi is mind-broken by evil scent magic during a shokugeki so Erina possesses her body at the last minute to turn the dish into a turbocharged version of the original that embodies Megumi's purification abilities and enhances them using Erina's Shinigami tongue
also during a breather arc Souma realized just how fragile life is and that he shouldn't hold back on his feeling and then there's a double confession where he confesses to Ghost Erina and Medium Megumi and they have a happy ménage à trois...
...but Megumi and Erina have a spirit shokugeki to settle who is the first wife and who is the concubine. And Souma is the judge.
>1: Souma loses an arm, and gets a super precise robot arm that can chop super good.
But will Jou call him dead weight?

>wins
yeah, I'd read that
Tosh goes back to porn.
Gordon Ramsay appears.
Fucking hell. How come the editors just let shit like this pass? What is the nip reaction so far?
Souma loses and is revealed to be "cook drunk" like punch drunk but with cooking so he can't cut things straight anymore so he retires from cooking but meets a promising young man to train him in cooking, meanwhile his friends and rivals continuously try to get him back to the kitchen but his "girlfriend" prevents them.
And then Jamie Oliver saves the day.
They did take the situation very well
/s
Hmm it's still selling more than a lot of current wsj manga
That's not jumping the shark, that's redeeming the series by taking it so far over the line that it becomes great again.
Let me think up some actual bullshit
The cast has to compete in a generic fantasy themed computer simulation where they cook food from monster parts
All of the shittiest isekai/vidya tropes like damage numbers, crafting menus, ranks, leveling up are present
"If you lose in the simulation, you lose your real life cooking skills!"
This is a 80-chapter arc
What does WSJ even have left, if Souma ends?
Of course, One Piece, but in that case it feels like people would leave it at the tanks.
Not pictured: the bowl flying out of the room at Mach 10 because a goddamn chainsaw was stuck in it
What happened with this spin off?
Aside one piece they have Boku no hero , the promised neverland and haikyuu. Every one of these series sell 300k copies more than SnS.
SnS is like the number 5/6 now on WSJ in terms of sale.
if you told me this a year ago I would've said nice fanfic bro
Should I start reading this? It seems like fun.
kubo's asspulls worked because he would vaguely explain how something works and then do his thing later on
4, 5 & 6 legit sound interesting
DON´T DO IT
I hate this
there's bad and then there's complete garbage. guess where it is now?
>/s
You have to go back.
Hopefully he forgot about it so he cant ruin Kojiro aswell
That and they were entertaining. Kubo could later come with elaborate explanations to how the characters had planned everything in advance or were something all along, Tsukuda asspulls Erina's mommy issues out of nowhere and pretends she had them all along with no explanations or foreshadowing.
This crap makes Narutos clusterfucked last years good by comparison
I knew it was bad from chapter 10.
What's your excuse for realising it so late anons?
The writer had his first manga axed.
His manga wouldn't survive without the art.
>Implying Gordon wouldnt destroy Jamie culinarily and verbally.
I don't think an artist has ever returned from SJW back to hentai since decades ago.
>Devil May Cry but its about cooking.
>Dante bullshits his way through it with Pizza and strawberry sundae.
Fund it.
The last chapters are just sad. Even Yakitate Japan at its worst when they were fighting literal bread people who shoot bread lasers from their bread eyes they still show the bread making with believable methods
Hopefully this
He already made Joe a massive jobber, let Kojiro keep his status
The funniest thing about Souma is going to be Souma and Erina hooking up despite there being almost no chemistry between them for something like 90% of the manga, and them canonically having only really spent maybe the equivalent of a month interacting since the start of the series.
Meanwhile Megumi's final contribution to the manga is instantly jobbing to the worst villain in the series. They didn't even discuss what she did with the food or how she cooked it.
This manga is a piece of shit. It always has been. The only redeemable thing about it has been the art, and we lost Tosh to this piece of shit manga, instead of getting the follow up to his last lewd series.
I don't even read this series at all but holy shit, this just plain ridiculous
There's no Kumagawa who's gonna save this series, no Zenkichi who's actually going to be good later on, so no.
maybe, but the judges would let Jamie win because of THE HEART
Jamie is like the asspull character
dunno, man, I imagine he'd use shit like Cerberus to make perfect shave ice and shit
Erina's dad comes back and has a final showdown with Souma, Souma wins of course but as Erina approaches Souma to hug him Azami cuts her in half with his knife, he asks Souma if he was day dreaming of a carefree life as the background shatters to reveal Karakura Town, Souma looks down in terror as his knife transforms into Zangetsu and the manga ends with Souma's terrified face reflecting in a pair of glasses
chances of it getting axed?
it already was, the author was given some more volumes to wrap it up
I bet it already is.
It probably already got the soft axe meaning they told him to end it within the next couple months.
Not Shonen Jump but Inazuma never stopped making hentai, to say one
oh fuck, time to resell my SnS mangas
giving it his all? the work says otherwise
That's not much of an accomplishment, given that nearly every title not part of the current big three is completely ignored by their customers. Those anchor titles are the only thing selling weekly magazines. Japs just read the same shit manga over and over, without putting any work into discovering something newer. And they don't have any friends to recommend them anything else either. Look at Iruma, it should have quickly become a chart topper, but it took well over a year to build enough interest to coax all of the readers that passed on it.
No, it was good fun at an earlier point but has now gone to complete, unbelievable shit and before this it also had a fairly long and boring arc. Not worth it.
Only I liked the Azami arc and the beginning of this arc? Only began to get horrible when it started that shit of chefs of light and darkness and superpowers.
Story got retarded with the Asami saga, once that ended the author had a chance to go back to less high stakes storylines and cut back on the retarded soap opera tier family drama, instead he chose to double down on those aspects.
Shoji Sato also draws some pin-ups for hentai magazines from time to time.
Looked like it might've been a fun and less tense arc when Souma and Megumi were playing cooking detectives for a few chapters, but it all went to complete shit when the not-brother was introduced and when Saiba fucking lost off-screen to a literally who new character when he was the one who was the closest to being Souma's 'final boss'.
>13: Souma must cook music.
My fucking sides
You should become a mangaka.
>Tosh stopped drawing porn for this shit
>Souma must cook music
I just remembered that dinner scene from "Marvelous Musical Mansion." That'd be fucking amazing.
Unlike the aizen arc, the blue arc is rushed as hell.
It will probably end this year.
Guess I'll say it, the Azami arc was good.
Even the beginning of the current arc was good until the jou lost and dark chefs had super powers.
Not manga, but didn't the director of key the metal idol, go back to doing hentai after making that Ova?
Always go for the body swap arc, unironically.
To be fair, it seems Tosh is not even trying anymore with this manga, maybe one of the many reasons everything seems so underwhelming. Say whatever you want about Central, but that's where Tosh really put all his soul into the manga.
>the Azami arc was good.
>Even the beginning of the current arc was good until the jou lost and dark chefs had super powers.
Peak delusion
>but that's where Tosh really put all his soul into the manga.
Nope.
Except it became a meme how damn handsome Souma got at the Central Arc at comparison to the rest of the series, everyone was better looking during the arc.
>everyone was better looking during the arc.
I disagree. Erina and the others were a lot more detailed, especially Erina, in the arcs before Central. There are certain panels that look great, but I don't think the art was best during Central.
the guy clearly wants to make a shonen manga with power levels but he's stuck making a cooking manga.
axed arc incoming
>implying it hasnt been axed already
hes clearly rushing to the ending. in a few chapters, we'll get the "HEADING TO THE CLIMAX" editors note which is probably happen when its soma vs el hermano or soma vs erina though the former makes more sense since el hermano defeated jou. unless jou pops up and reveals that he went easy on him.
>paired up with an ecchi writer
bonerXboner
Sometimes you have a good premise but you lack the brainpower to keep making interesting things with it. He doesn't know how to raise the stakes organically so it's suffering from serious serial escalation.
I didn't know how much I wanted this.
Probably because Erina was designed to be made attractive to garner a fanbase so her win wouldn't cause and uproar
Now that she's pretty much cemented her breasts shrank.
>so her win wouldn't cause and uproar
wasnt she always the most female character? in the first poll, i think she landed 2nd to soma and that was back when she was a bitch.
Yes but he had to prepare for when she wasn't a bitch.
>But then decides to turn her back into a bitch.
this is great
before he went full silly the manga was near cancellation
(around the election arc)
Viewership is actually up
>Viewership is actually up
sales are declining though. the latest one couldnt even pass the sales of the 3rd volume.
>Long-running manga sell less over time
wow
are you seriously trying to act as if low sales dont mean anything?
If Shokugeki actually went full Legend of Koizumi, would it become good again?
Like if after the end of this arc Hitler the gas cooker showed up to conquer the planet, with moon ingredients
Basically, but not exactly.
Giganigga is just another japanese Benkei reference, but his copy needed proper time and study and practice.
Hermano's skill is literally "I hold onto it, I'VE MASTERED IT"
>final battle
>cook with your own knife
>asahi has a mental breakdown and serves garbage
Erina was never really a good character, just eye candy. Tsukuda left her in the background for a long time in the beginning as well as made her unlikable which didn't sit well with the fanbase meanwhile everyone else like Soma and others had their own goals of getting into E10, mini arcs, etc. Tsukuda had to give something to Erina to get her involved with everyone else, so he did the Azami arc for that and to give her a goal of standing up to her father, which it was just Tsukuda making up an excuse for Erina's bad behavior by having you pin the blame on daddy. The nail on the coffin was that she was made headmaster because Tsukuda knows that he made her OP. Not only that, she has never at least apologized for her actions. Everyone suddenly just kissed her ass. Her ship with Soma is also shallow as Soma has never shown any romantic development with her or anyone he's ship teased with. Now it's the Azami arc all over again but worse since it's with her mother and she's regressed as if her defrosting never existed. And it's a shame cause it's wasted potential.
This is why Hell's kitchen is better.
Is it anything like the show?
Please, this manga has been awful ever since Azami was introduced.
>which didn't sit well with the fanbase
But that's not true. Check the first and second popularity polls. She came in second then first in the 3rd one. Though I do agree that she was just eye candy.
If Gordan and Sebastian had a baby, perhaps. Well yeah, there is alot of abuse.
Isn't this like ace attorney?
Just look how tsukuda pulls a KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! and reverts back to his intended endgame. Megumi has still xhances of ending up with Soma.
>soma vs el hermano or soma vs erina
It's gonna be Megumi vs Erina (Megu loses, but takes Erina out of her bullshit and makes her stand up against La Grande Madre) and Soma vs El Hermano.
>reverts back to his intended endgame.
which is sorina as we can see in the original pilot
Megumi was already eliminated
>It's gonna be Megumi vs Erina
How is this even possible when Megumi just lost to EL HERMANO? Plus it's obvious that Soma will be the one to rescue her and snap her out of it as we saw in the latest chapter where he raises his hand after Erina gets all shaken up by EL HERMANO so Tsukuda can give Sorina more shippy moments since the pairing basically has none.
El Hermano's power is basically Shirou and Archer's Projection magic from Fate. He's literally able to replicate all of the cooking techniques of the chefs by just touching their knives/cooking utensils. Except in Shirou and Archer's case it's reasonable for them to have that ability since the Nasuverse is a world of magic while SnS takes place in the real world, so for El Hermano to be able to do this is completely fucking stupid.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Stop giving Tsukuda ideas.
we going against marvel supervillains now and there is barely any actual cooking nor even drawings of food
Kubo at least asspulled with finesse and charm and still keep Bleach interesting and entertaining, and was at least able to write explanations to contextualize his asspulls to make it really seem like they were foreshadowed to make it work.
Tsukuda is just doing shit without any rhyme or reason. Kubo wrote Bleach with style and grace. Tsukuda has a funny face.
Are you actually retarded?
I liked this, basically Neuro but with cooking. Shame it got axed. Also, it had the same evil villains with super cooking shit like in Souma, but at least it kinda made sense due to starting out supernatural.
WHY HASN'T JUMP CANCELLED THIS SHIT YET?
>4: Aizen cooks something so good that Kim jong un declares war on japan so that he can get the recipe.
this is based
Why things always have to go DARK and EDGY with these shonen manga? It's just a fucking cooking series, damn.
It didn't go overboard with enjoying the food. Or as completely stupid like using a chainsaw or bombs as kitchen tools.
Why do so many cooking manga jump the shark?
Last time I read Yakitate Japan, shit was incredibly stupid near the end (eating bread to turn into a Street Fighter character to save global warming).
Will Soma get to that level?
Hell Kitchen is also ridiculous but it's already ridiculous in the premise so it's acceptable.
Picked up.
I hope tosh gets set free to make his own lewd manga after this series dies.
Hell's kitchen was ridiculous from the beginning. That's why it stayed consistent with the wacky nature of the cooking and never went too far by never using stuff for a friggen zombie apocalypse as tools.
Hence consistency is important.
To be honest, the cooking in Hell's kitchen near the end is far more sensible than the shit we are getting right now in Soma.
I have the feeling they already did, that's why it seems that there's missing like10 chapters between each new chapter.
It's pretty gay how in every Shokugeki no soma thread that I've visited lately there's always people who claim they haven't read SnS in a while and want to know/get spoiled on what has transpired in the last hundred chapters.
>lose interest
>see people losing their shit and bitching
>get curious to know what happened
That's why
People bitching like this also makes you want to make a summary more than go put up with the chapters
Gotta say this is going full retard.
I mean, I went to spoil myself and they even made Souma's dad job to this retarded evil brother. What?
Worse. He jobbed without them even showing the Shokugeki go down. It happened after Jou nonchalantly told Soma that El Hermano was his adopted son over the phone, only for the next page to be this shit. This page single-handedly killed the series. Sarge baking a cake with a chainsaw and dynamite just buttfucked its rotting corpse.
Why is he bleeding from the mouth?
Tuberculosis from the AIDS that Tsukuda gave him from his shitty writing.
19: Jaxa discovers an asteroid made of food that's going to destroy earth, Souma and his crew are send to destroy it, by cooking it? Soundtrack by Aerosmith.
20: Clon saga: multiple Soumas suddenly appears. Who's the real one will be decided through a battle royale Shokugeki between them. Romantic antics between the clones and the girls ensues.
21: Souma roams the oceans hunting down the last whale on earth, obsessed with the idea of cooking it.
22: Souma discovers he has a lost little sister and they fall in love. Now he has to create a recipe that can solve the declining birth rates in Japan so the Prime Minister can accept to legalice incest and they can marry, He only has 6 months for that.
Why is Erina considered more attractive than the rest of the female cast in Japan?
Megumi is probably the most attractive of the main female cast to me, and the rest of the girls are at least equally cute as Erina IMO.
I know Nikumi is probably at the bottom of the list because Nips no rike brown girls because they have utterly shit taste.
>Why is Erina considered more attractive than the rest of the female cast in Japan?
big tits and blonde hair i guess. alice and ryoko were always the prettiest of the girls to me.
It's been axed, but he obviously can't say it here.
Of course, the wedding arc.
>the wedding arc.
Thanks for the chuckle.
The problem is, SnS itself had that character already. Except it was done in a way where it still made sense instead of literal superhuman powers. By having the guy be a creepy stalker to get the feel of his opponent, really getting deep into the personality, and copying it that way.
It's kind of stupid, but the character itself is fun, and it still attempts to make sense.
This asshole downloads your cooking skills from your tools and is everything wrong with the series.
Maybe its because you take the series seriously? Isn't the premise is that everything is absurd and how much cooking is pretty much involved in everything, i wouldn't be surprised if the hitler of the universe is an pineapple pizza
Medaka box was flopping from the start before it went full super power shit. This is the anti Medaka box though.
I still don't get people who think erina was unlikable at the beginning. she was obviously tsundere and completely fallen for souma from the moment he made her eat all the eggs.
This series should have just had Souma hook up with this tart after the internship in a professional restaurant arc and ended there.
23: Souma must compete with Area 51 in order to gain the secrets of UMA cooking. Megumi jobs to Sasquatch with a jetpack.
24: A bomb will explode the school within 24 hours unless Souma "feeds" it a meal befitting a king. Runs on an AI modeled off of Erina's personality.
25: Cooking competition with a volcano god, Souma wins with pineapple on pizza.
26: A race to find the Apple of Eden for a dessert dish.
>Megumi jobs to Sasquatch with a jetpack.
Kek. I want this.
There's a certain limit to how ridiculous a series can get. And how much can be tolerated. When you deviate too far, there's no consistency. That's why Hell's kitchen is valued more because it established the crazy shit while being reasonably consistent with its plot.
24. In a crossover with a better cooking manga that got cancelled, Souma and crew have a group Shokugeki against the cast of Hell's Kitchen, including Dogma himself. Dogma effortlessly defeats Erina and eats her soul, declaring it "average".
25. Souma challenges death to a Shokugeki to bring his dead mom back to life. He wins but his mom refuses to come back since the land of wind and ghosts is better than being around his dad.
26. The cooking stands from earlier in the manga become real and the series doesn't suck ass anymore.
27. Tsukuda and TOSH appeal to get moved to a different magazine and the series just becomes Tampopo but with more actual sex happening between the characters.
Soma began at a ridiculous premise too though. It also helped that it had a lot of down moments (for the series) to balance the more high concept parts. Except we've just had high concept shit recently, closest to something small and calm was when Soma and Megumi go to check out the inn but that was just an introduction to the current arc. Scrapping the dorm gang entirely fucking killed this book.
El Hermano is literally a fanfiction character. As in he is TOTALLY not supposed to be from the world of Shokugeki no Souma and somehow has broken the fourth wall and crossed(GET IT? CROSS? GET IT? HIS SKILL IS CROSS KNIFE?) over into the world of SnS
Haven't you all noticed how it is an actual plot point that El Hermano makes up this ridiculous backstory and like a beeline makes his way to Erina, saying he is the only one who can alter her destiny?
He's right, of course. He's a fanfiction character so he is the only one who can alter her destiny. Problem is, "destiny" isn't always a bad thing. We have these stories about fighting fate and denying destiny, but those stories presuppose a bad destiny.
> high concept
Using a damn chainsaw and bombs to cook is next level idiocy. If you call that high concept, it's the opposite.
God...how did we go from plausible abilities like super taste, super smell, ability to copy and improve dishes after intense study...to magic battle shonen bullshit?
I could probably come up with some shit better than literal "el hermano" in 5 minutes.
>Souma and other elite 10 undergo a few more challenges/tests in school
>Perform an exchange programme with other international culinary academies
>Use the exchange programme to introduce other equally skilled chefs from other countries like France, Italy, India, UK etc, each of these countries have their own equivalent of "Totsuki".
>Establish some rivalries with these other chefs. Have Elite 10 lose or draw some shokugekis
>Have a couple chapters showing off Tsukasa and the former 3rd years prepping for the BLUE.
>BLUE arc, all these international chefs/students go to BLUE to settle their rivalries and win the competition.
Took me 5 minutes...
>3: Erina dies.
You're supposed to post ways the series would jump the shark, not improve.
>"whoever said the Elite 10 were numbered 1-10?"
I don't read this manga, but this actually made me laugh.
All they had to do was this while not bumping Souma and Erina up to #1 and head master. Wonder if sales were dropping at the end of the arc though and I will he author thought, "Fuck, I gotta up the stakes BUT HOW?!?!?"
Blue arc ??? not it's Erina shitty drama arc again
literally the most realistic thing in comedy mangas fuck
PROBLEM is the series as a typical Japanese power wank with Totsuki being THE most prestigious culinary school in the world and then not utilizing the premise at all
Always thought Souma should have been rank 3 or 4 behind Erina and Isshiki at the least. Would give him at least a few to compete against in school.
I approve this version
Dropped
Could always have the ranking drop because of Azami's bullshit leading to teachers leaving and 3rd years graduating. However, that would be too humiliating for the Japanese to not be THE BEST.
>shit is gonna get axed before they even get to 3rd year
WAKE ME UP
Brace yourself, because I'm about to tell you that it actually happened.
>no chinese cooking cultivation
>no souma and the gang get isekaid to another world
>>BLUE arc, all these international chefs/students go to BLUE to settle their rivalries and win the competition.
Tsukuda turn this Blue arc in Erina damsel in distress arc that needs to be save, it's all about Erina drama
Genius.
>I still don't get people who think erina was unlikable at the beginning
did you forget her treatment of nikumi? i dont care for her character either but it wasnt just tsundere. she was a straight bitch. many panels in the beginning back this statement up. she also wasnt tsundere for soma, she genuinely disliked him for awhile.
>wedding arc

>they get married and everyone is there
>timeskip showing the main characters with their partners
KUUUUUUUUUBOOOOOOOOOOOOO
antagonists can still be likable, especially when they are cute girls.
>she genuinely disliked him for awhile
that was just part of the tsundere
I hope Tosh back to doujins after this bs
You should absolutely read his older stuff on the sad panda.
His former name was "tosh".
If you read Souma, you will inevitably end up disappointed.
I hope he releases SnS doujins under an alias
I wonder what an arc in this series would look like without Souma or Erina
> alien ingredients
Cant wait for Souma to become the new Toriko
STOP READING WSJ TRASH HOLY SHIT
Any fucking series that gets above, like, 15 or 20 volumes turns to shit because WSJ has some of the shittiest editors around who exist to do nothing more but meddle with everything and turn every series into a cash cow that goes on for eternity despite it being long past the point where it should've ended.
KINO
Could be possible that the series would move to Jump + or possibly another magazine in Shueisha's backlog. However from looking at the dismal sales from the series they may just axe it and Tsukuda is just going crazy and lying to himself about getting another chance.
Tell me about Week 0! Why does it not appear?!
>The Nakiri family is revealed to be a genetic experiment to create the perfect chefs.

So this thread is telling me that things got worse?
I had hope that with Aizen gone, we'd go back to normal cooking shit pre-moon festival
It got worse. Unimaginably worse.
This is what happens when you focus your manga around a mary sue tsundere.
So many good girls like Alice,Nikumi,Megumi, and red head from polar dorm and Souma picks the shitty blonde bimbo.
>as expected of her!!, this turns me on
this guy
This series is notably much more tame by this point.
>yikes
I forgive you. At least it ended up being the best page in a chapter full of even stupider developments
Look on the bright side. Once this gets AX'D, TOSH will go back to drawing porn.
I would be okay with this.
I can't believe it got so fucking bad. It's almost unbelievable.
10/10
>that dude that cooks meat perfectly by putting it in some heated ball and juggling it
>the guillotine rabbit girl's cooking tool was more practical than this sideshow clown
There's like 1 chapter in the entire manga that doesn't have Souma in it. One of Jou's flashback chapters iirc.
One of the best chapters too. Really makes you think.
wow
That really is just wow
The biggest issue with the Azami arc was the fuckup in the powerlevels that ended with Tsukuda writing himself into a corner that could only be escaped through powercreep.
Rindou should've done a last minute side flip (add some lines calling Azami and/or his plan no fun) and beating Eishi in a 1v1, a possibility that had been hinted at before.
I look at these again with the chainsaw and can't help but laugh so hard.
>All these brain dead retards saying so much dumbshit about based Kubo
You're either Togashitfags or speedreading as much as this manga is dogshit.
>thought it had gone to absolute shit with the Azami arc
>suddenly my nigga Takumi becomes Giganigga 2.0
>stupidedly assume that'd be the turning point and the series was once again uphill from there
>goes to absolute shit instead
Kill me
I haven't read this in months since the old edgy man with the revolvers. Is this blue shit even close to finishing?
Don't remind me
Only Soma vs. Erina and Asahi are left so hopefully we're in the final stretch.
Just to put things into perspective, that old dude with the gun was easily the best noir chef in the entire arc.
I realize this is an unpopular opinion now but I still don't think Erina is to blame for the current state of this manga aside from her mom being a crazy old bird, but it was well on its way down the drain before she appeared
Think about it, this arc is bad chiefly because of three things: Midnight Chefs, BLUE, and Asahi. I had a sinking feeling when BLUE came up during Jouichirou's backstory, right then I expected something like this madness to happen because of the power creep. With Midnight Chefs I don't know what Tsukuda was thinking, I guess hammy evil chefs are more satisfying (?) to take down.
And finally there's Asahi. He's introduced as wanting to get in Erina's panties but he is mainly there to be the rival to the MC, the anti-Souma that literally puts Souma in the bin. He is a surrogate brother who for a bullshit reason wants to put Souma down in every way and the shortlived romance triangle was only a small part of it. You may as well blame Jouichirou for adopting the faggot in the first place
See after RdC this manga could have gone interesting places. Like Souma traveling the world, or low key romcom shenanigans at school, or even (if Tsukuda has such a hard on for tournaments) alumni coming back to Tootsuki to challenge Erina because they don't like a 16 y/o girl being the Director. Any of those could have had Erina front and center and it would have been perfectly fine, because people loved her and Souma doing things together in previous arcs. It's not so much the heroine's fault as the author doing retarded things that kinda sorta has her involved
Imagine pic related but the Star Destroyer is some massive space whale they're cooking.
I also forgot to mention, it probably doesn't help that Morisaki took maternity leave for her new baby. With her no longer involved it makes sense that the cooking becomes more and more retarded and the explanation of how the food was made getting replaced by CHAINSAWS
The fuck is this
I mean, if you could use the force to extend your lightsaber that looks very viable, assuming you could breath in space.
TFA concept art too stupid to make it into Mouse Wars. Yes. Too stupid to make it into all the stupidity of Mouse Wars.
I still think launching spaceships at warp speed to destroy your enemies was worse
Of course it is, Last Jedi was full retard.
Erina was the least interesting of all the female characters and probably the most irritating of all of them, but she got inordinate amounts of focus because Nips have really shit taste and think she's super hot for some godawful reason.
She's utterly unlikable for the first half of the manga and only gets a "well she was abused you see" excuse for her shitty behavior when the reality is that she's still a complete bougie snob. The Stagiaire Arc was the worst example of this where she basically refused to do the kind of work a stagiaire/student would do. The bitch wouldn't even scrub pans; I'd have overhand dunked her into a fucking dumpster outside my restaurant if I was that chef. Like it matters she's a better chef- it's still not her restaurant.
And after all that I'm supposed to care her dad slapped her around trying to make her this stupid food god? And now in the 11th hour after basically still barely interacting with Souma, and Souma being this weird asexual nutjob they're obviously going to end up together because it was foreshadowed from the beginning.
Azami and El Hermano are the biggest problems that hurt the manga moreso than Erina but she fucking sucks as a female lead.
Hey man, some of that concept art was kino. Han Solo with a beard and duster would've been awesome.
>The Stagiaire Arc was the worst example of this where she basically refused to do the kind of work a stagiaire/student would do
Well she completed the assignment and made the restaurant better in her fashion - if she did the ordinary thing it wouldn't have been any different than what Souma and Hisako did
>Erina was the least interesting of all the female characters and probably the most irritating of all of them, but she got inordinate amounts of focus because Nips have really shit taste and think she's super hot for some godawful reason
I think you have a slight bias there user
Erina harbors a lot of the blame because so much of the manga revolves around her. We keep getting trash characters to make her look better, either to give her a victim complex or to remind readers that she's super attractive and great. Erina would have been a much better character if they weren't trying so hard to stick her constantly to being a tsundere and instead letting her grow, but as is, they keep on keeping on with her bad character and introducting other bad characters to make her look better
>if they weren't trying so hard to stick her constantly to being a tsundere and instead letting her grow
Isn't that what RdC did? Part of why BLUE sucks is because it undid all of her character development
And while we're on the topic I don't think the Elites as a whole were bad characters, though some were rushed
>Part of why BLUE sucks is because it undid all her character development
That's what I meant with them not letting her grow. Any development Erina gets is backtracked
Do people finally see Erina for the godawful character she is? I hated her before I lost interest in the manga but for some reason Yea Forums was completely up her asshole. She was insufferable then, so I can't imagine what she's like now.
>it becomes the prequel to toriko
OH MY GOURMET CELLS
jesus fucking christ
tsukuda WHAT ARE YOU DOING
>27. Tsukuda and TOSH appeal to get moved to a different magazine
But that magazine is Comic Yuri Hime and we finally get to see glorious Ikumi x Megumi.
Only if it Ford wasn't so old and haggered. He wasn't really Han anymore by the time TFA actually came to be.
>but for some reason Yea Forums was completely up her asshole
Because the majority of the waifufags and shipperfags jumped ship a while ago.
I didn't mind her when she was still an antagonist. Central arc made Erina's personality improve quite a bit but did so by forcing her to defrost too fast and unnaturally for my liking. But now the current Erina is all over the place and acts like the Central arc never existed.
Add all the recent Nakiri drama that nobody likes heaped up on top of that and it's clear to see why she's lost a lot of fans over the past several months.
This is the definition of delusional. Holy fuck how embarrassing.
Hey, I was defending Kubo.
Well no shit. Since Tsukuda's writing has gone down the toilet, Tosh no longer has the motivation to do his best.
Miss me yet?
Have you noticed he said we're getting to the peak of the BLUE arc, not to the climax of the manga, right?
That means this shit might not getting axed after all. WHY!?
I just wanted to be free from this shit.
How are you taking this fellow otters?
I miss Pajeet. As long and obnoxious as his rematch against Soma was at least it still had cooking in it.
I loved this manga. I really did.
We all did.
Its almost as stupid as that manga that got a house pregnant
I would say that Erina's been all over the place the entire series. She started as a bitchy antagonist, falsely failing Soma on his entrance exam, then going on to use her position on the elite ten to cut funding for clubs whose cuisine she didn't like to force them into shokugekis to shut them down and demolish them in favor of redundant personal facilities for herself, even banishing minions who failed her from her presence for their failure. Then we had the training camp and she was dialed back to a mere haughty tsundere for a while, who didn't like Soma, but would deal with him fairly with the right bribe. Then her father showed up and she turned into a meek doll as he took over her life and schedule, and kept her friends away, until Alice hauled her ass away from her father and dumped her at Polestar. Which of course brings us to Central and the stuff you mention like the too fast defrosting. So her personality has bounced around quite a bit as the plot demanded it.
Will tosh go back to doujins once all is said and done?
#NotMyAizen
How funny would it be that Souma's mom wasn't actually dead but she was the mastermind behind everything or something retarded like that? I can see this moment being completely botched.
kind of feel like I need to watch ace attorney now
Fair points, but as rocky as it was there was at least some semblance of progression up until BLUE started.
I almost forgot about what she did to all those clubs at the beginning of the story. What made her stop doing that, some sort of begrudging respect for the cast that also slipped my mind or did she just drop it altogether?
Souma's mom was just being possessed by the spirit of cooking.
It’s actually ketchup from Asahi’s dish
But Souma's mom is Erina
That's not ridiculous enough. She's actual the loli from the training camp arc, put there as foreshadowing to build up to the reveal that she's been testing Souma's skills this entire time from behind the scenes, in order to prepare him for the greatest threat yet: Time traveling chefs from the future sent back in time to rule Totsuki
At this point the only hope left for this manga is for Tsukuda to just go all out with the ridiculousness.
My favorite nonsensical theory was them being siblings.
You know, I feel like if this series had always been a comedy, this shit with evil clown chefs cooking by juggling and not-Esdeath cooking with a chainsword would have been great and everyone would love it.
But the fact that it tried to be at least somewhat serious and grounded during the early parts ruins that. He actually expects us to take that seriously, or at least that's the explanation the rest of the manga has given everyone, and now we can only laugh at it rather than with it.
>this shit with evil clown chefs cooking by juggling and not-Esdeath cooking with a chainsword would have been great and everyone would love it.
toriko already exists
It just kind of got dropped altogether around the time of the training camp. I think the feedback after the Don arc made Tsukuda realize that he'd made Erina way too villainous and he started to dial her back and take steps to make her sympathetic during the training camp arc, and possibly dialed her back more after the feedback of the Karaage arc. I don't think it ever got directly addressed again, nor do I recall Nikumi ever getting an apology from Erina.
I think with the way the story is progressing, it's safe to say that Tsukuda never gave a shit about feedback from others
Judging by Tsukuda's general standard of writing, I highly doubt that changing the female lead to Megumi or even Meat would have done anything for the quality of the manga. He clearly just wants to be the next Kubo.
I suspect he cared more about it when the series was struggling to survive near the start. Especially when it told him that a favored character of his was disliked for being the villain of the manga to that point.
Ia there any reason they don't have magic in Soma universe?
There's no Magical Element (until someone cooks it, that is).
>nor do I recall Nikumi ever getting an apology from Erina
They talked in Hokkaido for a bit, if I remember correctly. Or maybe it was some time at the dorm.
>completely skips how that bullshit is supposed to form into a cake
Seeing this shit just makes me want to rewatch Cooking Master Boy.
There's a remake/continuation anime coming soon by the way.
It was Soumegu. Tsukuda had preferences towards Megumi until editors took over the mango.
from which chapter on does it get really bad?
O MY UMAMI NEN
Why the fuck did you mention me in your shitpost you tard? I was saying Tsukada literally ripped off Bleach because Erina is the 0TH SEAT xddd but it's just ridiculous because it's also a cooking manga
Chapter 1
was it ever actually good? in hindsight, it was mostly average at best
What do you want him to say in the comments? "Sorry, I suck"? They're just comments for brats. Of course he said that.
That is exactly what i would want him to say.
Well it's either "ganbarimasu" or "my door has been squeaking lately" tier shit
I fucking hate shōnen jump and their axe meme. Too bad normalfags wont stop buying from them
I wish translators would just translate some more Mister Ajikko rather than waste their time with this garbage
The weapons shitrou and shicher create are powerless empty pieces of metal just to say "lol i have your weapon xd" then 3 seconds later is broken by the original one, this nigga can copy and improve what he steals so is even worse.
will get the axe soon anyways
Cooking Master Boy is better than this on handling its Underground Cooking Society and Legendary Utensils story plot.
Brings me back. Isn't it considered sub-2000s or was it 90s?
you probably mean re-airing. They did that with DNA^2 and TTGL last year
Soma's mom is revealed to be a former dark chef and was a better cook then Jouichirou before she died and Soma only ends up beating El Hermano because of her influence through a secrete recipe, cooking technique, or some other asspull
hxh?
I wish someone would help typeset cooking papa
>Thinking a Shonen about cooking could be good.
It makes me sad not many people took the time to actually read and comprehend some of the more linguistic humor Medaka Box had. I miss it. Nisio had a lot of fun detangling all the tropes he had seen and used over the years.
>Spent less time on Yea Forums than you did on soma
Unbased and redditer tier post. Please work on yourself and your flawed standards.

This
Sad but true
Y'know, this wouldn't even be so bad if this was the tone shokugeki no soma always had. If it just had gone full CUH-RAYZEE from the start.
Thie issue is that it always remained grounded in actual cooking (though with some creative license all around) and then throws this shit in our face.

Great shit user.
are all food manga destined to fail?

That's basically Paddington 2, an actually good movie.
Fucking hell, I want to say that the trainwreck was worth it because these threads are some of the most fun on Yea Forums these days.
cookingmaster-anime.jp
It's the new planned anime by Production I.G
At least this had an amazing final arc.
Noice
Aizen became a character in Soma too? What the fuck?
What could possibly be left after BLUE? It looks like he’s going all out on this arc and there’s nowhere left to go from it.
Fuck that would be amazing

Axe soon
I've only watched the anime up until the end of s2, and it was great so far. How exactly is the story fucked? Why is it suddenly so lowly rated?
Souma awakens real superpowers and it stops being a cooking manga altogether.
As if they would let him write that he is tired of this serialization, given that is how he feels.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I will take any amount of knocking over what has become of SnS.
>Megumi managed to job herself out of the series.
This is next level jobbing.
I still can't believe that BLUE is literally supposed to be the best chefs in the world under 35. None of the Totsuki alumni are in it at all, thank god for the sake of their characters, and apparently every fucking "light" chef in the world under 35 is a massive jobber not worth looking at, since apparently Tsukasa was supposed to be the peak of the light chefs What a fucking joke
read
This went out with an explosive bang.
Shokugeki is just smoldering with what was left of its already-spent flares.
Now that Shokugeki no Soma's cancellation is inevitable, I'm looking back at the scene in chapter 141 where the Polar Star Dorm is doomed to be shut down by Central, and I'm imagining the characters instead talking about Soma doomed to be cancelled. Them talking about their memories equates to reminiscing on the times Soma was good, and finally Yoshino starts crying that she doesn't want Soma to be cancelled and they all start crying together, then I get sad.
Tsukuda finally broke us
Man, I forgot there was a time where I was actually invested in Shokugeki. I didn't want it to lose me, but there you go.
>cook music
There was a chapter where Sunny hires a DJ chef to play appropriate music for a harmonious dining experience. Can you imagine a cooking match where chefs are given a musical cue and must cook something appropriate to the theme?
19: The Polar Star crew is transported to a fantasy dungeon with nothing except the clothes on their backs and their cooking equipment. They must now hunt and cook monsters to survive.
She really deserved better.
Picked up.
"Soma you have come as far as you can with your father's technique, to defeat Asahi you must unlock your mother's true power that lie in your blood."
You know its coming.
Man, seeing this panel and Tosh's older art style made me genuinely depressed now. It all had that comfy atmosphere to it. Fuck you, Tsukuda
>Wasn't Soma's "special talent" supposed to be that he refuses to give up, even when he constantly gets his ass beat, as emphasized by his 0:500+ track record against his dad? Please don't make this some "your mother died sealing the spirit of Auguste Escoffier inside of you" bullshit.
Hearing how it's become a dumpster fire makes me want to pick it up again.
I think I ended up forgetting about it like 140 chapters in.
Oh geez, I forgot the win/loss record. That makes Jouchiro jobbing to El Hermano even more retarded.
Anyone know exactly what chapter that was revealed? I want to find Yea Forums's reaction.
Wow he's really shilling the superpower angle this hard huh? I guess he won't win doing some insane off the cuff shit but is instead going to unlock his timestop cooking power or some garbage like that.
