Shokugeki no Soma

Damn, actual cooking, with normal cooking utensils.

It is amazing how normal cooking is what saves the manga

If Morisaki still is absent I seriously doubt Tsukuda's absility to pull that off, this kind of challenge is almost impossible due to how contradictory the cooking styles are.

If that's all that happens this chapter, it may be confirmation we're in for 12 more chapters instead of just 3 more. If they're planning to end it with volume 35, they could do 2 chapters for Asashi, and 2 chapters for Erina and her mother, but if they were going to rush that much, I'd expect them to already be into the judging this chapter. If they're ending with volume 36 however, it'd let them spend at least the rest of volume 35 on Asahi vs Soma, and leave a full volume for Soma to beat Erina and deal with her mother.

I doubt the series will go beyond volume 36 though, they literally have nothing left to do after BLUE.

SQUID WITH PEANUT BUTTER AND KETCHUP SAVES THE DAY

Well, if you look next to Soe's leg on the cover of 34, you'll spot Mana's hair there. Essentially, it looks like the covers of 34 and 35 will combine, with 35 having Mana, Azami, and little Erina. I'd be amused if it had the never before seen grandma Nakiri mirroring Senzaemon, but I doubt that.
It's beyond unlikely that the final cover won't have Souma, so yeah, I don't think it's going to end on vol 35.

>I don't think it's going to end on vol 35.
How unfortunate that I'll have to witness Tsukuda run his series into the ground longer.

It’ll be a power of friendship victory, combined with the reveal that Soma’s mom loved Turkish food and one of the Turkish inspired Yukihara Secret Menu items dedicated to her memory will save the day.

The final cover will be Soma, Erina and their daughter. Jou will be behind as the dad.

>The final cover will be Soma, Erina and their daughter
this delusion

Based diner has the solution to all problems.

Yeah. And now that I think to check, the plot started rushing on chapter 292 when they skipped how Soma passed the third gate to get straight to his first match. That's presumably when they gave him a deadline and he started rushing through the arc to get to the ending. If there are 12 more chapters after this one, the series would be ending on chapter 317. That's more or less right on the mark for them telling him "You have half a year to finish it up." while he was working on chapter 292.

>Mana’s hair
Oh I thought that was the edge of a wooden chair, good catch.

You just know he's going to pull some shit like how Souma was keeping his superhuman ability secret, or how he awakens it last minute

Can someone tell me what happened to this series?

Did the editor change harm it?

He stalked his victims mercilessly and then took away their stuff as a trophy. He actually worked towards that copy no Jutsu.
Now Hermano comes along and suddenly knives are fucking magic shit.

>Combine like every cuisine into one mush
Absolute revolting.

I'm pissed off they're pretending Takumi has the superpower of a brotherly bond of cooking and Megumi has "hospitality", to elaborate, there's a page where Erina is surprised that Souma made it so far in the competition "without a superhuman ability" and I was like what? Hasn't he always been doing insane turducken tier shit out of the ass? Wouldn't that at least count?
So now in addition to that retroactive superpower shit they're also pretending as if Souma in this fantasy cooking universe didn't even have a superpower equivalent so they could do that garbage isekai tier trope where the guy shows up all the people who thought he wouldn't have a cool ability.

If there was a stereotypical American soldier chef who made amazing hamburgers by shooting at a cow carcass on a meat hook from 500000 meters away with his M16 and Asahi beat him then Asahi would instantly become a master sharpshooter if he took his gun according to this retard cooking logic.

So Souma can remember all his gay lovers

Or channeling his anger and deception towards Erina's cowardice and lack of backbone in a perfect, yet sad dish. Soma wins, but leaves sending a hurtful and furious glare towards Erina and telling El Hermano to get lost.

Western cuisines are all bland and shit, especially UK. Asian foods = the best. Even the western foods here are superior than in western countries because it's hybrids with the local flavors and variations.

This is the stupidest manga on earth

But don't you see, he can't lose to anyone after winning because he has literal magic. In a mostly down-to-earth cooking manga. Sorry, what WAS that. Now it's a clownshow.

that's a compliment

>manga about cooking has to have stupidass elements like an evil organization
>evil organization gets introduced and gets defeated faster than an actual important for the school cooking competition
I wonder what this manga is gonna come up with next, they've already blown through the school competition, a beach competition, a shadow organization. All thats left that I can think of is him actually facing his father after some "wait, this means you didn't actually beat my father correctly!" bullshit

Why is Mexico so high up? Their food is revolting. Everything besides tacos looks like scooped out of a toilet.

I bet that fucker would've jobbed to Jou if he didn't have his knives. Kid probably can't cook for shit without them.

yeah I meant the reason he beat joichiro that one time was for a life lesson or some plan and not joichiro actually jobbing to el hermano because that is absolutely fucking retarded. joichiro has pretty much been shown to be some unbeatable monster then he just jobs to el hermano offscreen who was using his old student knife. I'm gonna drop this if el hermano somehow channels joichiro when he was called the asura

I said this during a previous chapter. Giganigga was stupid in his own way, but his personality was built around his gimmick, and he was just downright fun. He was also used for the standard trope of how copying isn't true strength. And most importantly, as you said, it still at least tried to make sense.
Nah, I can download skills from cooking tools.

i hate this. i fucking HATE this. i fuck hate how a manga i use to really love and look forward to reading every week has turned into this absolute garbage. the last arc was a bore to read through and it was shit as well, but this is just a whole new fucking level. im convinced that tsukuda is trying to run his manga into the ground cause he lost his shit or something because its just too fucking much.

This manga is now pants on head dumb.

To Tsukuda this makes perfect sense because he beat Jou with the power of Jou + some other dude
The basic math obviously checks out

how the fuck is soma even supposed to beat this faggot? he has joichiro's and eishi's knives along with god knows what else. soma couldn't beat either of those people 1v1 is he just gonna pop bankai now?

Italian food is so fucking overrated. Its just noodles in different shapes and sizes with some fucking sauce. Usually overpriced too.

>eishi's knives
fuck i forgot tsukuda made him job as well. im so glad shinomiya didnt appear or i would have raged even harder. dont wanna see best boy job to such a faggot character.

Wait, what's the deal with Chinese disliking Japanese food? That seems completely out of place with every other pattern this chart suggests.

Dinner wisdom

I think it's because they hate the Japanese more than they actually hate their food

>Dinner wisdom
fucking joichiro OWNS the diner whom soma could never defeat and el hermano was supposedly better than him before even "absorbing" his abilities, nothing but an "O MY" ass pull is gonna save his shit now.

i swear to god soma is one of the only characters where his upbringing doesn't match his power spikes, take the fight thats about to happen

jou was the god of dinner wisdom and soma could never beat him. soma beating el hermano is going to be the biggest asspull in the manga.

It’s going to be a Turkish doner filled with all the other cuisines. Calling it now.

VIZ has tried to make it sound less stupid by translating it as "freakish talent", while MS has gone for "superhuman ability". Thing is, while everyone else's ability is really just a peculiar trait that they have which makes their cooking unique, Asahi's techinque is literally a Hatsu.
Essentially, he can replicate another person's
"ability" by defeating them and taking their knife away. He can also use multiple knives at the same time, making multiplying their individual "power".
It's really hard to describe without making it sound idiotic, but that's basically what it is.

that IS idiotic

so why did this turn into a battle shonen all of a sudden?

>viz has tried to alter the content of the manga
of course.

Are they actually going to cook now or is Souma going to get some zany superpower that has shit to do with cooking?

I legit want this manga to just end

After all that superhuman garbage, we cannot possibly revert back to what the manga used to be

So might as well end it

why are hero academia and this both so fucking bad at sudden powers

Well, I haven't seen the Japanese raws, but I assume that it wasn't made in bad faith, at first. "Freakish" and "superhuman" are somewhat similar, after all, so it might just be two translators translating an ambiguous term in different ways.
After all, everyone else's superhuman ability isn't really a superpower. Megumi's hospitality isn't exactly supernatural, and neither is Takumi's talent for teamwork.
Asahi throws a wrench in all of this, obviously, but in the beginning, before Cross Knives was revealed, there wasn't really a reason to think that one of these "abilities" was going to be an actual superpower.

Would it be possible to get a little cooking in between superpowers and dumbshit?

The only way to salvage this is to have Souma lose, but still come close enough that Erina regains her desire to not be some guy's onahole, then have her win.

No no no no, what we need is to introduce the aliens and their sci-fi cooking techniques, humanity must beat them in a cooking showdown to save the world, however, in the end it turns out that the Aliens had ulterior motives, they've been traveling from one world to the next to pilfer cooking techniques from other species to perfect their cooking, for without perfect cooking they cannot defeat Satan and his army of demon chefs, of course the twist in the end is that the reason the aliens failed to defeat Satan is because they lacked what mattered most. Humanity and Friendship.

>The only way to salvage this is to have Souma lose, but still come close enough that Erina regains her desire to not be some guy's onahole, then have her win.
it wont. at the end of the day, souma needs to come out on top cause he is the mc. even if erina is the one to beat el hermano, souma will have to beat her and through beating erina he's going to defeat jou/el hermano/eishi too cause el hermano beat jou and eishi and erina beat him so hes killing four birds with one stone. no matter what the outcome is, its going to shit cause souma shouldnt win with MUH DINER WISDOM/MAGIC cause jou was the incarnate of diner wisdom and souma could never beat him. this manga was suppose to go down completely different for us readers to feel good about souma coming out on top in the end. he should of had another showdown with eishi, asahi shouldnt even be a thing, erina should have stayed more of an antagonist and jou was suppose to lose when it came down the final showdown between him and souma.

did this get cancelled or is tsukuda trying to get it cancelled?
I can't tell anymore.

That's Indian cuisine.

How basic.

I mean, user, China has like 9 major very different cuisines. The manga itself pointed that out a long time ago.

Not happening. Remember, Soma isn't participating in BLUE to save Erina from her pride, her idiocy, or from Asahi's dick. He's there to win it for himself to live up to that bet/boast he made with his father when he got the invitation. He'll beat Asahi, beat Erina and make her say his food is delicious, then decline to be Mana's personal chef and if he wants, he can leave it to Mana, Erina, and Asahi to sort out the whole "saving Mana" thing, assuming one taste of Soma's food doesn't outright cure Mana.

>Soma isn't participating in BLUE to save Erina from her pride, her idiocy, or from Asahi's dick.
yea but thats what it turned to now. the nakiri family drama overshadowed his original goal.

Of course, but it's gonna happen anyways.

I think harems would be better if they had a clear end goal in mind, a set number of chapters, and didn't add too many girls. Three girls is all you need, just three and you don't really need more than 60 chapters, 110 if you actually has something interesting to do.

Haven't read the chapter, did only Polar Star jobbers arrive? I hoped to see the entire Elite Ten.

dios mio...el comida abominacion...

>did only Polar Star jobbers arrive?
yea. no alice or hisako or ryo or hayama or previous elite 10 members.

El platillo de las tinieblas...

I think harems would be better if they would stop the harem crap. It's obvious from the beginning which girl will win so just stick with her. Add in a bit of tension with a new girl for drama, but let that shit be resolved quickly. Nisekoi was just a circle, a Chitoge arc then Kosaki arc then Tsugumi arc then Marika arc and then repeated over again with some special chapters focusing on other characters in between. It's ridiculous.

>I think harems would be better if they weren't harems.

Jeez, it kinda makes sense for them to stay back and run the school while the headmaster and first seat are away. But the series is such a trainwreck currently, that a little suspension of disbelief won't hurt it at all and I'd love to see Isshiki and Kuga. Alice, too.

I probably wouldn't mind something like that. Thing is that the last harem romcom I read made me realize that I don't give a damn about ship wars and "will they or won't they" antics. If I get invested in a romance series then I'd prefer to read something about two characters having to deal with an established relationship in progress.
Same goes for this manga. My money's on Sorina being the endgame but as it stands now I have zero investment in that ship.

That's what I've been saying since before the central bullshit got too far off the rails. Souma should have faced consequences for losing but never did. After his dad came into the mix it was clearly Souma couldn't lose story wise. He should have joined Central under Tsukasa for a while. That would have been an interesting twist. And maybe have their ideals be somewhat sympathetic somehow. Not this shove everyone on a train to job shit. The central arc could have been redeemed until they got on that stupid fucking train. That was the point of no return.

Chinese hate Japanese people

It did have the same premise. The gang shit was always an excuse for Raku and Chitoge to play nice. The premise is mainly about Raku and Chitoge's "fake" relationship. Which is why I don't know why people thought there was room for other girls to win in the first place. The story literally revolves around Chitoge. It's the fucking title. It would be weirder if she didn't win.

Its hard to describe without making it sound it sound idiotic because its absolutely fucking idiotic.

You mean with contamination. He didn't clean those weird ass claws after he took them.

those Kid Cuisine chicken nugget tv dinners

Yes and if he uses two knifes the powers get multiplied.

I honestly wished this Cross Knives would had been Giga Nigga's power-up. he already copied and then improved on other's cooking, of course it would be better if he used another's cooking style with the one he traced, of course he would still have to stalk the target, not just learn to cook from the utensil alone

didn't he also win his newer knife not too long ago?

Pretty much just various BBQ and things that can be made on a grill. And maybe, MAYBE chili.

>mix French, Chinese, Turkish, Indian and Italian food into one dish.

Some sort of meat curry over top a mix of Orzo and rice?

>>Erina: "You truly are the Shokugeki no Soma"
*roll credits*

>The theme that Mana chose is to mix French, Chinese, Turkish, Indian and Italian food into one dish.
They are not going to show the result, aren't they.
>What's his answer to THIS?
>Oh my god, he's cooking THAT

That honestly doesn't sound too bad, so it's probably not what we're getting

In the premise they were already established as knowing each other and it focused more on the two and not some other chicks that serve no purpose whatsoever.

Yeah but it looks like he's using the old knife for this match.

Oh shit, there was a pool chapter?
Post the boys

>Cooking advisor goes on maternity leave.
>Cooking was the main premise of your series and you don't know how to cook more than the basics.
>It falls to your writing skills to carry the series but it turns out you can't write for shit and you were actually being carried yourself by the art and cooking ideas.
>Story now so bad it demotivates the artist and the art drops off noticably in quality.

I'd say it's pretty clear at this point that the series got the axe right around chapter 292. All the rushing since then has been to get to the final matches with Asahi and Erina with enough time left to do a decent job with them.

So basically at this point its Bleach all over again but with food?

but with SUPER POWER

The correct way to fix harems is to specifically not make it obvious who will win. Of course, this would require effort, and we can't have that.
The main issue is that almost certainly whichever harem member is given the main plot focus, which is generally established immediately, will win.
Instead, what needs to be done is establish plot lines for all the girls, but to avoid the initial preferential treatment, you'd have to introduce all the members immediately. You can't add to them very easily, and you need to handle them very carefully, so as to not make one the obvious focus.
By the time that starts to happen, both for the readers and the MC, it's time to just wrap it up, instead of pretending he won't end up with the chosen harem member.

Except bleach was more entertaining and had better art and fight scenes. This shit doesn't have decent foodgasms anymore.

But this doesn't have a smug asshole with glasses just floating in the air talking shit to people.

I was more referring to the ending part of Bleach.

The ending of Bleach gave us a cocktease with Aizen coming back and fucking with Yhwach. SnS has nothing to emulate that feeling. The only thing to look forward to is watching that piece of shit Asahi fuck off and this series getting put out of its misery. Even shipperfags don't care about this shit anymore, and that speaks volumes.

>Even shipperfags don't care about this shit anymore, and that speaks volumes.
this. i remember when sorinafags would shit up threads about how their romance would play out and how their child would be the beautiful thing and now look at the threads. tsukuda went with the worst way to make it canon.

>with food

I'm an animeonli and I still feel betrayed for sticking with the series for 2 and a half seasons.
I can't imagine what you all have been going through after keeping up with the manga for years.
I'll be very happy to see the final chapter drop and everyone spitting on it's grave with satisfaction.

comme on Yea Forumsnons, invent your French, Chinese, Turkish, Indian and Italian dish

I'd wager for a kebab made of chicken tandoori, some parmagianno and mozarella with some wine sauce poured over and a touch of szechuan spice

What the fuck is even Turkish dish?

Turkey stuffed with curry risotto but the turkey is cooked Peking style
>oh turkey the country? i thought you meant the turkey meat!

Is tosh going back to porn bros?

WHEN YOU WALK AWAY

YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY

Where is English Cuisine

You know your graph is wrong as fuck if american cuisine is so high up and argentinian cuisine is above peruvian cuisine.

the fuck is American cuisine?
deep-fried butter?

Wow, this is a confirmation then, japanese have literal shit taste.

Damn, Philippines really love all food, good for them.

idk but according to this manga it's in the top 5 greatest cuisines

Doner Kebab is a huge thing here in Europe, maybe it is in Japan as well. Not in America, as far as I know.

>so whats the big thing that made your cuisine big???
>flesh on a metal stick
>uhmmm... ok and what else?
>... the stick rotates?

Like it or not, siphoning actually stopped turtling and build autism because there was an incentive to actually getting a kill. Now that they got rid of it everyone is turtling and building like faggots. Fuck builders and fuck epic for removing a feature that forced people to fight instead of turtle.

OH NO NO NO NO NO
LOOK AT JOUICHIROU'S FACE
LOOK AT HIS EYES
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
TOSH IS LITERALLY DRAWING WITH HIS FEET AT THIS POINT

Its hard to describe without sounding idiotic because every aspect of it is the dumbest thing I've ever read. Thank fucking god its ending

Kebab, baklava, Turkish delight, pide (sort of pizza with filling instead of topping), tzatziki (yogurt-based dip for flatbread), gozleme (thin savoury pancakes), kofte (spiced meatballs).

Don't forget katmer. I've never had turk food but damn at the very least they look nice.

>souma is going to win with friendship recipes
>el hermano is going to bitch that he should have won because he has the most bestest power

that explains a lot

>the madman who impregnated morisucci ended up destroying this manga
I'd shake his hand

Yeah I prefer pretty much anything over most Filipino foods. Can't blame everyone for disliking this stuff because most of it is an acquired taste.
Hell I just had dried squid for lunch.

Yea Forums, you know what pisses me off about this arc the most?

It's not just the fact Tsukada has rammed all hope of improvement down under, it's not the fact that a potentially interesting tournament arc is sabotaged with more Erina drama, it's not just the fact that every character except Souma and Erina are sidelined. Hell, it's NOT JUST El Hermano and all of this dark chef bullshit or Jouchirou losing. It's not just that Souma will pull the biggest bullshit writing to defeat Asahi.

It's the fact that after all of this, WHEN he defeats Asahi, Asahi is probably going to have a 2-second character inflection after losing and eating Souma's dish, and he's going to be forgiven in the most half-baked way after causing all of this bullshit. He won't be even recognized for leading the series into ruin.

I'm SEETHING.

>implying when Asahi "loses" isnt going to go "did you really think I would lose like this?" and then he reveals the second release stage of Cross Knives

>>>Tsukada writes some bullshit about Asahi making "dishes evolving"
>A never before seen dish: Food that continuously becomes tastier and tastier
>Basically Hayama vs Souma on steroids
>Souma wins but actually still loses

TSUKADAAAAAAA

>Asahi uses Joichiro's knife
>Souma wins
>Proves he surpassed his father's skill level
>but if Asahi had used "cross knives" and multiplied Joichiro's power Souma would have lost for sure so it's meaningless

I want to knock up Shokugeki's life support so bad.

>Time to activate Cross Spoons

>I can now exponate powers!

>He won't be even recognized for leading the series into ruin.
Azami and Central did that.

I thought people love our rendang.

user, Azami and Central may have driven the series quality, but Asahi was what made us realize it wasn't going to go up.

>Tfw the last good chapter was the beach chapter
>Tfw the last good Shokugeki was Eizan versus Takumi

This is the final arc right?

Shokugekis were a mistake. They should have been kept in reserve for appropriately dramatic parts, with other competitions and Totsuki challenges making up the bulk of cooking in the series.

1v1 duels being the primary means of conflict resolution in the manga made them seem formulaic very quickly.

God hear you.

Literally Nen powers. It has the same stupid non-sense explanations.

>O MY OW THE EDGE
Really, Tsukuda?

>asians has shit taste regarding mexican food
Plebs.

This makes sense because when you taste the peruvian food you just go live there forever hence the lack of people with good taste in the rest of the world.

Aliens

All the votes came from the Indonesians themselves. But to be honest i was hoping there will be a character with Indonesian cuisine specialty. All we got is tempe, i don't even like tempe. Mendoan is fucking good though

Not anymore.

This is Tsukuda's biggest mistake. He should keep Erina as the antagonist. A boss that Souma must defeat before Jou. Their interactions in the Moon Festival were great.
