* {{Pride}}: Erina instantly rejects Soma after just looking at him and what he planned as his entry dish.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unknown to everyone, Senzaemon Nakiri himself was hiding behind a door to watch Soma's test. Thanks to this and a taste of his dish, Senzaemon overrode Erina's veredict and admitted Soma to the school.

* OnlyTheWorthyMayPass: Totsuki Academy already has a low graduation rate, but it's a challenge getting ''in'' due to an entrance exam that only involves making a good dish from a specific ingredient theme. Erina's reputation makes this exam a lot more difficult (if not impossible), because of her overly-refined palette.



* SeriousBusiness: Your reputation as a chef rides on how successful you are if attending Totsuki. A rating from the "God Tongue" Erina is an even bigger version of this, since a bad rating from her is said to kill your rep in an instant. This is why most of the applicants bail when they learn she will host the entrance exam.

'''Original Air Date''': April 10, 2015

After Jouchirou leaves overseas to cook at high-class restaurants, Soma must face his Tranfer Admission test for Tootsuki Academy. Said test is being supervised by the Principal's granddaughter, Erina Nakiri, who is also known in the business as "God's Tongue".

----
!!This episode provides examples of:

* AdaptationExpansion: Senzaemon Nakiri is briefly seen hiding in the dark watching Soma's test. Also in this version, Senzaemon ''does strip partially'' after tasting Soma's dish, while in the manga he just smiled.
* AlphaBitch: Erina dismisses quickly any cook who can't bring her a dignified dish for her palate and has a disdain for lower class cooking.
* CharacterTitle: "God's Tongue" refers to Erina.
* ChildProdigy: According to the rumours, Erina's first words as a baby was when she was ''three months old'' to criticize her mother's breast milk. Also she has been serving as a consultant for High-Class Restaurants since early age.
* TheDreaded: Only with the revelation that Erina Nakiri was the examiner, everyone but Soma ran away from the test immediately, preferring to flee than have her rejection haunt them for the rest of their careers.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: During TheStinger, Senzaemon Nakiri's very first scene shows him sampling Soma's dish quietly, disrobing only the left side of his yukata (which for the ones who had read the manga knows that's his Seal of Approval) and destroying the rejection signed by his own granddaughter.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Averted. According to Erina, the soup she had was so bad that it was like having a bath in a hotspring with a gorilla.
* EvolvingCredits: The rotating dish in the opening changed. For the ending "Spice", the foodgasm reaction is from Erina.
* FuroScene: In her Imaginary Spot, Erina is seen in a Hot Spring with a gorilla in it.
* {{Fangirl}}: Hisako's reaction is of pure joy when Erina offers her to test some of her new dishes after the examination. Also she gets very aprehensive regarding Erina, since she got enraged when Soma just touched her shoulder.
* GratuitousEnglish: "Hey, Jo!" Makes sense seeing how Soma's father is in New York.
* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood:
** Jouchirou's cooking in New York is so popular that big important people are desperate for eating it. An obese doctor with high-blood-pressure is loudly praising him, a politician recovers his ambition with just eating his food, ''and a priest rips off his clothes and declares that he would throw away his vows if his religion prohibits him from eating Jouichirou's food''.
** Erina, who at that point was shown to be a PickyEater with high standards and a very sophisticated sense of taste, got weak on the knees with just tasting Soma's Furikake Rice, to the point she felt like "Angels caressed her with their feathers". Too bad her pride didn't let her admit it.
** Out of sight, Senzaemon ''disrobed'' when tasting that same dish and decided to admit Soma into Tootsuki.
* MaleGaze: Once again, in both Erina's Imaginary Spots has her focusing on her naked body (in the FuroScene the shots are of her boobs and legs, while in the second one, little angels are trying to undress her from her very small toga).
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: A fasting monk tears off his robe after discovering that Soma's father is cooking in New York City.
* NoBadassToHisValet: Soma is the only person in the room who didn't care about [[TheDreaded Erina's reputation]] even after being told about it, repeatedly ignoring her attempts to scare him away from taking the trial.
* NoNameGiven: Averted in Hisako's case. In the manga, her name wasn't revealed until chapter 52, while in this episode, Erina addresses her by her first name.
* {{Pride}}: Even thought Erina enjoyed Soma's Furikake Rice enough to give it three bites, she still rejected his application out of spite, because giving him an approval was against her reputation and high standards.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unknown to everyone, Senzaemon Nakiri himself was hiding behind a door to watch Soma's test. Thanks to this and a taste of his dish, Senzaemon overrode Erina's veredict and admitted Soma to the school.
* RedBaron: Erina is known in the culinary world as "God's Tongue" because of her extraordinary sense of taste.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Erina gave an Intimidation Speech, almost everyone (except for Soma) opted to run away very fast, as they feared more Erina's rejection.
* ShipTease: Aside from the BelligerentSexualTension from Erina towards Soma, there's also a bit of Hisako towards Erina, where Erina is tempting her with the chance of tasting her dishes, and Hisako's delighted reaction to her.
* SpoiledBrat: Many of the rich kids that intend to study at Tootsuki, Nikaido snubs Soma as soon as he learns his origins and starts crying to his parents over the phone once Erina was revealed as his examiner. Also Erina herself, who is so used to high-class cuisine that she dismissed Soma's talent without even tasting them.
* UpperClassTwit: Yoshiaki Nikaido's first scene shows him drinking a cup of tea on a bench while waiting for his entrance examination. When meeting Soma, he immediately assumes Soma's restaurant must be a High-Class one like his, only to reject him immediately once he is told it's just a middle-class business.
