I’m yet again strongly reminded of something from YGO GX, specifically the pro duelists from the second season, who all of played the parts of odd characters while dueling, like a Kabuki actor, Sadist Teacher, and escaped mental patient, for instance.

In turn inspired by wrestling, I’d imagine.

GX was also one of the least popular Yugioh's for a bit...and even then, nobody ever talks about the first two seasons.

OH WOW, the ultimate big baddie is Erina’s mom! I actually enjoyed the resolution to Takumi and Soma’s rivalry. The flaming stereotype Gayngster chefs, not so much.

15 chapters remain.

Aaaaaaaaand dunzo! Honestly? Loved it all the way through! Yes, there were some bad parts, particularly the matches with Asahi's henchmen and Asahi's own weird Power Copying ability (even for a born great chef I... don't think that's how cooking works), but much like Naruto the actual final showdown was great.

And to those disappointed by the ending: if you didn't know there are three epilogue chapters that I think were released via different platform that provide a lot more resolution, and they're on the Viz website.

I'll give some more thorough reasons as to why I think this series is highly underrated here later, but I'm winded now, both from finally finishing my binge here and learning that I finally got a job today after months of trying!

Happy to serve!

You're not done yet, read the epilogue.

I wasn’t disappointed by the ending since I thought it’s been downhill since the Central arc.

I can't even remember the epilogue changing anything

@Hamburger: Well, I didn't like the last two arcs, but I'm glad you did! Even if I didn't like the story as a whole, there were lots of pretty good moments along the way.

Honestly the whole thing was so underwhelming I didn't even read the epilogue chapters.

It just kinda devolved into nothing and I couldn't muster any interest.

Oh don’t get me wrong, the final arc was by far the weakest; the fact that they didn’t have an actual chef on the team anymore being quite obvious and getting the remaining Nakiri backstory being the best part because Erina is the best real main character.

It’s just that I was expecting something like, Star Wars Holiday Special level bad hearing people talk about it here.

Most people don't have your tastes and sensibilities coming into this series, is all.

[up] Totally get it, I just make myself curious as to why I’m such an outlier among this crowd.

Keep in mind, we read this weekly along with breaks too, so frustration was mounting with each passing week.

It's like with the OG clone saga. The delays and it being weekly made it much worse then it is now if you have the whole thing

I kind of felt like it would be a hard series to read week to week too, yeah. Entire chapters of nothing but exposition and all that. If you have time and interest I’d definitely recommend an all-in-one binge, if you thought you might want to see if your opinions would change.

No need, watching the anime adaptation hasn't really improved my opinion.

I've gone from disappointment to apathy when it comes to this series.

So out of boredom, I’ll ask this.

What would a hypothetical crossover with Dragon Ball involving Beerus be like?
