Shokugeki No Soma

Is it really that convoluted? She's supporting her best friend.

Is it gender related that you take an issue with?

All that tells me is that Megishima is the Sacrificial Lion who gets stomped to hype Rindou further so when she's beaten eventually it's even more impressive.

A bit, but even without that I'd say there would probably be easier ways to try to get the point across if this is going to end up being for the sake of some lesson. I say that when Soma being in the school in the first place is partly because Senzaemon sort of had a similar idea so it's not like it's out of the realm of possibility.

And if it's just because they're friends, well, they'd probably still be friends without her going along with these plans to destroy what the school stands for and trying to take over all the food of Japan. Which is Central's ultimate goal, remember?

I agree with that, I just don't agree that it should be a Curb-Stomp Battle. A Curb Stomp Cushion maybe. Every vote in this series has been unanimous, I don't think there's ever been a single 2-1 vote yet.

That's why I said a Heel–Face Turn is likely. Somebody (Likely Soma) is going to convince her what Central is doing isn't right, and that if she cares about Tsukasa, she'll help the Rebels stop Central's plans.

Souma vs Hayama was 2v1.

I want to say a heel face turn seems likely once she finally decides she has to do the right thing for the honor of cooking or whatever nonsense the manga comes up with, but I'm not sure what opportunity there really is. She can't even cast a tie breaking vote because if the rebels win the Elite Ten all get kicked out out of their positions.

Oh yea, I forgot about that...

I mean she's graduating this year, so what does it matter to her?

I didn't think it was possible for me to love Rindou even more than I already do but this chapter proved me wrong. We got so much Rindou goodness, and her being a rare ingredient master is super cool. It's so dang fitting for her but I somehow didn't even consider it.

On Megishima being their best guy: I'd only be half surprised if it's revealed that Isshiki was better than several of the third-years as well and is the real best guy on their team. Of course, he'd still eventually lose to Tsukasa or Rindo for tension, but I can still see the reveal happening.

Their actual best chef is Erina, you plebs.

I mean, yeah, pretty sure that Central third years are gonna beat everyone but Erina so she's the best by default.

Souma will probably survive to the end too.

Oh yeah, he too.

In reality, Soma and Erina are best chefs bar none.

EDIT: WRONG THREAD

HAHAHA

?

That's because they have the most important quality of all: love being main characters.

Wrong thread.

Wrong thread bruh.

Plot Armor is indeed the strongest ingredient of all.

Now I want to know exactly what you originally said.

It was just comments on the newly-released chapter of some other series.

Something something Kaguya something something Miyuki.

Oh.

I was hoping for something cooler. That's what I get for having faith in humanity.

No Power of Friendship?

Friendship power is for the weak! World of strength!

Assuming Megishima loses here (which I think we all assume he will) I'm wondering what's the point of keeping his motivations here so vague.
