History Fanfic / Nouvelle

* TheDitz: Subverted. She ''acts'' like this, but is clearly [[ObfuscatingStupidity a lot sharper than she let's on]].

** Of the several Midnight Chefs that make up Asahi's army, a duo who cooks in a pair are straight up cosplaying as [[Manga/Yu-Gi-Oh! The Paradox Brothers]].

--> '''Isshiki:'''“If Soma fails and is unable to right this wrong, and if word gets out and I'm to blame [for trying to help him], then so be it. Getting kicked out of Tootsuki because I attempted to help a friend, well, I'd leave those walls without a single regret.”

--> '''Senzaemon''': Goodness, this isn't even a normal [[Manga/FoodWars Shokugeki, no Soma]], this is something bigger.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Happens twice:

* AscendedExtra: Characters who only appear in one scene in the manga are given more roles within the manga. Some more prominent than others.

*** Yoshiaki Nikaido, the snob who mocked Soma’s diner background is coincidently is on the cruise ship Erina and Soma are on because he’s meeting his girlfriend for the first time.

*** Urara Kawashima is Erina’s partner for the Stagiare.

*** Shoko Kaburagi Central's Fifth seat is given more prominence as a villian, and her love for Eizan.
*** During the second year, the Polaris Dorm gets new members: Nao Sadatsukura, Mitsuru Sōtsuda, and Cilla & Berta.
*** Riko Ebisawa, the Fourth Seat while Gin and Jouichiro were students shows up to help protect her daughter Nao, and stop her son Ashitaro.
* GottaShipEmAll: Almost Everyone of note is teased with someone or other. Whether it be with OCs or other canon characters; almost all characters get a significant other.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Some obscure characters become related to each other. Reference Ascended Extra as needed

** Riko Ebisawa is Nao Sadatsuka's mother.

** In ''Classique'' chapter 12, after Azami's abuse of Erina comes to light, one of the online conspiracy theories is that everything was a plot started by Asahi in order to enter the Nakiri family and marry his sister. Megumi finds it gross.

* ShoutOut:
** In chapter 18, Hinako has her employee Diogo say the infamous [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure "But it was me, Dio!"]] line.
** Multiple during Chapter 27 alone.
*** During Mea's ImagineSpot brought on by Soma's Taco Ramen, she is surrounded by music-playing skeletons. [[Manga/OnePiece One of them has an afro and asks to see her panties]].
*** Etsuya's dish during the Sudden Death Shokugeki causes the judges to imagine themselves in front of the [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Gate of Truth]], while the taste of Soma's is compared to being slapped across the face by an [[Manga/DragonBall Ultra Instinct Son Goku]].
*** Near the end of the chapter, the cast of ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'' are shown watching the match on TV.
** One of the new characters introduced in ''Classique'' is a CasanovaWannabe named [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Gautier]].

* TakeThat: Chapter 24 features one towards the rather absurd cooking methods shown in the final arc of the manga.
-->'''Soma:''' How do I inject more flavor into a dish without ruining its composition? Maybe with a claw filled with... no, that's just stupid.

* ContinuityNod: Combined with BreakingTheFourthWall, Chapter 30 has one all the way back to the very first chapter of ''Nouvelle''. As everyone is preparing for the Grand Ball, Daigo and Shoji are finally given descriptions of their outfits after not getting them during the closing ceremonies of the Autumn Election, causing the two to shed ManlyTears. Cue the rest of the Polar Stars being utterly confused on what they're talking about.

[[folder: Tropes pertaining to ''Nouvelle'']]

* AscendedExtra: A few.

* GottaShipEmAll: Almost Everyone of note is teased with someone or other. Whether it be with OCs or other canon characters; almost all characters get a significant other.

* Rankup: With the 90th generation graduating from Totsuki, a new line up for the Elite Ten needed to be decided with the remaining members being promoted to the top ranks. The Promotions are as follows:

* MasterOfAll: What Isshiki trained to become after the course meal round, fully embracing his talent to learn things easily and using it to it’s full potential by training himself in his teammates’ styles to absolute mastery in such a short time.

* RealityEnsues: Soma may be the first student to ever be readmitted into Totsuki, but that comes with its own problems. Ultimately it’s agreed that he needs to catch up on everything he missed while he was gone. ''Everything.'' From the tests, to the seminars and going through a Stagiare since he wasn’t officially being evaluated while he was helping Erina with her Stagiare. The sheer scale of the workload he now has to do turns Soma pale.

* WorthyOpponent: Aside from Soma and Ryou, it becomes obvious that Akira considers Erina to be one given the way he splits Soma and Ryou between them, even though it is technically within his right to use both of them as his assistants, to make their Shokugeki fair on the grounds that she would lose if she only used Hisako as her assistant.

* SelfDeprecation: After Soma chickens out from kissing Erina during the dance on the cruise, the backlash was somewhat fierce. Said backlash was referenced through Kazune Nishizono who’s reading a novel going through a similar event.

* MistakenforJunkie: Played for Drama. Eizan has Subaru plant meth in Soma’s room. Senzaemon believes the “evidence” has merit on account of Soma 1. Going through round 1 of the restaurant Shokugeki, 2. Dropping erina off at her house at 4 am, 3. going on a jog instead of sleeping, and 4. playing a 15 minute basketball game the next day, all without a wink of sleep and not even the slightest signs of exhaustion. Eventually Soma is given a urine test but a paid goon under Eizan’s payroll falsifies his urine test.
