So, I've been thinking, and anyone else curious who the ten seats will be by the time Soma graduates? I mean, Soma will obviously get one, and I'm sure Erina will keep hers (probably Alice will get one as well). But I feel like a few more currently introduced characters will probably end up with a seat. Takumi seems likely, and I'm sure we'll have more ideas by the time this arc is over, but the number of seats just feels really small, especially considering it's split up between all 3 years (Although it feels like the only first year to have one right now is Erina, and she might be a special case). I'm curious what'll go on with the characters who don't get seats, or if any will get them for a time and then lose them. Also, will the final 10 seats have any losers from this tournament? I really doubt all the 8 who get through will get seats by the end given the previously mentioned limit, but can we really rule out the people who do well, but don't make it? Like, if the spread really was the winners and Tadakoro doesn't make it through, should we assume she'll never get there, or will the loss act as a catalyst for growth?

Doujima told us she is the youngest person ever to get a seat, so yeah she's a special case.
It seems Tootsuki is pretty cutthroat. Nakiri's grandfather told us that one hand will be enough to count the number of graduates per generation.
When the alumni are introduced it's stated again that they are the people who made it through the 1 digit passing rate.
So it kind of does make the impression that if your one of the few people that do make it through that having a seat is a given.As for the chances of people not winning in the election well I think you'll still have a good shot at it if you're making an impression. So all the poor lads getting under 50 points in the first round are out.
I also think the reason why it's important to make an impression is that you may need to acquire backing from the right influential people. I can see acquiring a sponsor to cover the wage in a shokugeki with a seat on the line being integral. Or in the case of the election acquiring the judges assuming that not just anyone can do as a judge for a seat.In any case the one person aside Soma that I really cheer for making it through is Megumi. I want to see that even that type of person can make it through with effort, some help and courage. And I'm going to stop here before people start looking at me weird :P.

About the Elite Ten, I've been thinking about it and there's something that bothers me : the fact that Erina is only the 10th seat.
Let me explain :
- She got the seat while in middle school.
- It's likely that there are always some 3rd year in the Elite Ten. If they survived that far, they're supposed to be very skilled.
- What bothers me is that she's still 10th when she entered the high school section
I would expect that with the 3rd year graduating, they would leave their seats and every Elite Ten still in school would rank up.
For example, if there were two 3Y in the Elite Ten before entering high school, she would automatically start with the 8th seat.
She would only stay 10th if there were no 3Y in the Elite Ten but that's hard to believe.I can't wait to have more details on how the ranking system works.
-
Do you remember the chapter where it's stated that she took the 10th seat when she was still in middle school?
As for her not being higher because of vacant third year sets it just might be that there were other second years that got their hands on those.

Chapter 2 (the rank is not revealed until chapter 7).
I've thought about your explaination but that sounds strange to me. When did that happen ? I hope it's explained later.
-
Reading through chapter 2 it doesn't state that she got her seat in middle school, only that she was the top student in the middle school division.
-
There might be vacant seats. The impression I get from what Miyoko said that getting to 1st seat is prestigious and it's more likely that seat (and perhaps all others) would be vacant rather than anyone moving up.

The raw is in the hands of the translator of Casanova's scans, who is Eru13. He uses to upload his translations to Mangahelpers before the release.

Its a manga. Every seat will be filled with some intimidating opponent. No empties.

http://manga.casanovascans.com/read/shokugeki_no_soma/en/0/52/page/1 chapter is out pretty fast this week.
Jesus what an awesome week of content, the OP chapter and now a rock solid Soma chapter.
I hope that nobody manages to get a 100(actually 98 would be already cutting it that's ~3 world gourmets deeming it perfect). I mean I get that they are all insanely talented but I want to feel like they all still have a lot of room to grow.
If these world gourmets would deem a dish perfect that would cause some power/skill creep for me.I'm really eager to see how Soma and Megumi and the rest of the polar dorm will do.
-
Holy fucking shit, that last page is badass and manly as fuck…!
-
Oh man, if just the aides managed to score 92-93, then I'm predicting that Alice, Soma and the other top major players might score even higher than 100.
-
Ah I'm so glad I discovered this manga! I'm going to cook all the recipes, can't wait to taste the mackarel burgers.
-

They won't read chapter 51…
At most if it happens at all it will be in vein that Chapelle did it, merely an acknowledgement.
And even that would kind of cheapen further development. Cooking skill going constantly over 9000 does not lay groundwork for a balanced cast. -
The best author's get the little details right. I like how the impact of the previous dish was brought up.
Loved Nao's reaction to Hisako's (we have her name!) dish. Best one since… well the best one period (imo). Nice and elegant.
And then Hisako scolds Nao and Nao... reacts accordingly. Heh.
93 and Alice's aide might not even make it; although, that colour spread might be a red herring.

Seriously, how likely is it that the author was spoiling the results with that spread?
I'm in camp "You have to be nuts to be thinking that".
But that perspective might be mirrored if you're standing on the other side of it. -
See guys told you witch girl would lose. It's never good to go first. Block A is stacked though if we're already getting a 93. I wouldn't be surprised if someone either gets close to or a 100 in that Block.
-
Being scarred by the likes of Naruto it feels so refreshing to see "a mere secretary" kick some serious ass. Whatever this manga does, it always does it right. Great chapter yet again.

Anyone ever try "medicinal cooking" before?
I've had those herbal soups and stuff but honestly I wasn't fond of the taste.

This isn't some bleach bullshit
-

Yeah, I can see how the flavour might be off-putting to some. It's definitely an acquired taste.
It's pretty popular amongst orientals, and I see a lot of Chinese moms cooking it at home. I'm not sure if I can describe the flavour in a way that explains its merits but there's a light bitterness that's somehow pleasing to the palette. Kinda like bitter gourd, except less bitter.
Of course, I assume the flavour depends on the herbs being used. People who aren't too fond of the bitterness usually cook it with more salt, so the saltiness is more prevalent in the after taste.
It's almost always a soup. I have trouble imagining how this taste could be incorporated into curry. -

It had alot of red seeds/beans in it with some sort of root. It did have a bitter aftertaste most of the time. Also can't really see it in curry either, the tastes seem too different :/

Oh I see. Well thank you. It seems it's a tad too early for an anime adaption yet, and frankly, I wouldn't want it to be half-assed due to not enough material anyway.
Nice colour page though. I really enjoy the amount of development that's happening during this elections arc. Makes you feel that certain connection to a lot of the cast.
-
Ahhhh~ finally remembered to catch up with Souma. I'm liking that the preliminaries are showcasing characters pretty much chapter by chapter, giving everyone a bit of the spotlight.
Little bit annoyed at the high scores in this last chapter in particular … I guess it makes sense, but it bothers me that the first years should be able to pull such high marks.
Also ... that colour spread with eight contestants some time ago ... that wasn't a give away of who gets through, was it?
-
With regards to the high scores didn't one of the judges say that they were taking into account the fact that the contestants are all high school kids. So the scores the judges are giving out might not be the same for what they would give a professional chef were they to serve the same dish in a restaurant.

By the same respects, the author showed most of the main characters in the 4th chapter:

Just because there's a spread, doesn't mean they'll all get in. I'm sure there will be some curve balls here and there.

http://casanovascans.com/read/shokugeki_no_soma/en/0/52/5/page/2 The Erina chapter's been released by Casanova scans.
-
Regarding the newest chapter
! Despite it being chock full of fan service I liked it. It's just a little bit but Erina got another layer going on or rather the Nakiri family it seems.
That whole insane genius in one thing while being a inept in most other matters helps making her more human. That strong drive and obsession with the field she has chosen, her interest being so focused on it to the exclusion of everything else makes her more interesting. So although I'm still not a fan of her she got slightly better with that chapter in my eyes which is kind of funny, I guess you can have fan service and have a chapter not feeling pointless. -
The Erina special was fantastic, I love me some Alice and some fan service. It was also nice to see Erina not just being a tsun-tsun bitch for once.
-
Alice was the best part of the chapter and has quickly become one of my favorite characters in the series. The scene I liked the most with Erina was how involved she wanted to be with her secretary because she was bored. I thought the rest was just okay.
-
Good job, Erina! Soon no one will be able to notice you are a robot incapable of feeling and expressing human emotion.
Ahhahaha, and I didn't notice Isshiki on the cover of volume 3 before.
