Erina just needs to relax when she takes in Soma's meat. That way, she'll enjoy it better.
Okay, I'll stop… For now...

All that talk of meat and no mention of the beefcake?
Well we'd have to get Doujima Gin on the scene first, but he's busy getting washed while Soma shares his beef with Erina
Say what you want but neither Erina nor Soma himself can handle the steaming beef of Gin's.
its seems that Shokugeki no Soma is a shameless 「cooking」 manga
Thinking about it, Subaru has yet to have Soma's chapter 3 with Erina. He still has some way to go before fully getting into Soma's food r@%* mode!
Do you really think Subaru hasn't been practicing giving Erina his "transforming Gohan?"
I have no inclination to believe Erina has interacted with Subaru.:ninja:
Well, Subaru hasn't met any of Soma's customers, presumably, but he's still practicing his image training. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Subaru could have given Kurase his Karaage roll in his mind.
Man it's actually too fucking bad that the match isn't Hisako vs Subaru. I totally would love to see his stalking antics for that character. He can even form an alliance with Nao.
This issue's jump cover.
Sweet cover. if i didn't read SnS, i would have thought it's a battle manga.

and Eru posted spoilers on mangahelpers.
The chinese scans are up for the new chapter.
And here's pictures of the volume 9 cover and the alternate cover.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Those color pages this chapter and the magazine cover...I want Shokugeki no Soma to last a long time as long as its quality keeps up, but I hope he ends up doing an actual battle manga in the future.
Well obviously the alternate cover was better cause it showed more food.
And the color scheme as well as the detail of the ocean and the beach
The alternative cover has a background?
Yea, everything just seems bigger you know?
Did people notice how nice the foliage is colored?
Just read the chapter on baidu. HQ Source link.
! Soma steps onto the battlefield without a plan. Welp, Subaru's screwed.
! The answer was so obvious!
! Even we westerners have no idea what we're doing!

I read this thread from latest post up, so when I actually got to the alternate cover I deadpanned extra hard
http://jump-netabare.seesaa.net/article/404790821.html spoilers and they aren't fake it seems. They seem to line up with this one picture we got.

Have some other stuff to do but if there's no summary out I'll try to do it today.
! Ok I don't have much time so I'll make it quick and skip over most of the less important stuff.
The two girls in the picture are 2 judges and with Mizuhara, Doujima and Hinako they make up the judging panel.
I don't have the correct readings for their names so I can only guess.
Tsunosaki Taki is the one with the black hair, she specializes in Spanish cuisine.
Kikuchi Sonoka is the other one and she's a chef that focuses on Western cuisine.
Both of them didn't graduate from Tootsuki and instead went independent in their second year and build their shops up from nothing competing against veteran chefs. They also were both former second seats. Tsunosaki was a 88th generation student while Kikuchi was a 89th generation student.
! We get to know these two a little, we get their perspective on the match and they're just judging by the data provided by the school and they both think Soma doesn't have a chance. Same goes for Erina.
The cooking starts and the chapter ends with Mimasaka seemingly being prepared for whatever Soma has.
! Hmm, so yet again some other independent dropouts like Soma's dad, huh. Seems you can make it big without going the full way through school here
@Purple:

! Interestingly enough, it seems that first seats get to not drop out and get succesful. Like Dojima and Shinomiya.
To add to that summary,
! Soma goes first in the match. Erina is taken back by how adaptable Soma is. Screw the miso; he's making beef tail stew with matignon.
! When I mentioned that he stepped onto the battlefield without a plan, it was more in the way that he was going completely improv. And yet, Subaru somehow has anticipated this.
! Guys, what does this mean? We can't use the "he's going first so he's going to lose" tactic.
! And for those wondering, yes, Erina does actually like Soma's beef stew. She won't admit it out loud.

Wait, what?
! He went out of his way to point out that changing the miso alters the soup almost entirely in a previous chapter so this is a very odd development… unless the chapter points out explicitly that miso is seen as not western (guessing that's why?) or the miso's still part of it and he's just doing something else to it too.
! Guess my prediction is Subaru predicts everything Soma does until he does something that was influenced by Erina which would seem to go against his fundamental philosophy of cuisine, showing that Soma's actually growing while at school.
! Subaru went first against Takumi so it's not exactly that much of a surprise that he's going to lose
! It just means Subaru's gonna come up with some other wack improvement but suck at improv compared to Soma because, well, Subaru's all about the trace rather than the innovation which is why 9th seat said his skills as a chef suck

! Could be improv from taking other things he knows, but Miso is a bit strange for a "western dish" which may be what Erina was pointing out

Feel like that should be in spoiler tags too because
! I honestly believed her when she said it was no good. Guess she's getting better at handling Soma's meat than I thought, or maybe I'm just bad at telling when women are faking, and that would be unfortunate :sad:
Will do.

! The previous chapter showed Soma's moment of "WTF am I doing, he's just gonna walk all over me if I stick with this." And yes, the miso would detract from the subject: western cuisine. It was a dangerous road to follow.
! But it still slightly concerns me that Subaru's going to "copy" him anyway, despite the very little time Soma gave himself to prepare. I mean, he's not fazed at all.
Chapter 84's scan is out: http://casanovascans.com/read/shokugeki_no_soma/en/0/84/page/1
As expected, it seems 1) Soma needs to focus on more western sorta theme as hinted by Erina and 2) there may be a focus on Soma's sheer enjoyment of cooking versus Mimisaka's sheer tracing of cooking rather than actual cooking.
Good chapter. An amazing color spread.
As expected, if Takumi wasn't the Yoshitsune of the story, it would be Souma.
I'm more curious about the Takumi situation than the match itself with an obvious result.
I doubt Souma wants him to see his match just to give him his knife back, or to watch him avenge his loss.

That would be chapter 84. Nonetheless, the spoilers for 85 seem to follow up, granted that they are indeed legit.
And regarding Takumi, Soma knows how torn up he feels. A good honest cooking match may be just what the doctor ordered.

Pretty sure he just wants to show Takumi where he went wrong: Ie, panicking rather than enjoying the cooking as he did it

Ah yeah, that was a typo on my part.
Yeah I think Soma was just looking for a good fun cooking match with Takumi, so this is just his way of showing what cookin's all about
The key to Soma's victory should be that he doesn't know what he's going to cook.
Btw spoilers of ch 85 are available in mangabird.
reads the chapter and goes to check out thread
oh rubia posted a spoiler. let's see- oh fuck that's the next chapter already
Nearly spoiled myself there for not realizing that Casanova are a bit behind on their releases.
Titty Tsundere lives up to her name, Italian Yamcha is being himself, and Souma knows he is going to win so badly it's palpable.
! Couldn't get much from the spoilers except the judges are playing with each others titties
! uhh Soma's doing something special with his meat (I think its spare ribs), not sure what, but it looks like Subuaru somehow predicted it though.
Wasn't he gonna make an ox-tail stew? Anyway, I think that whoever said he's winging it was right. He'll just listen to the voice of ingredients. :komatsu:
I just thought about this but the judges are 80% female and 20% Doujima. Let your imaginations run wild for what this will mean for the foodgasm scene…

Well, in many things, there is the 80/20 rule where 80% of outputs are from 20% of the inputs…
85 scans are out + the first 2 jump next mini stories.
Fingers crossed that they have the third one, couldn't find raws for that one only chinese scans.
Early spoilers are out too from the same source as last week but I'm going to wait until we some pics for them to check out before I post anything.
! The chapter didn't indicate Soma's no longer using the miso as a base. He's just enhancing it with different ingredients to fully bring out it's full effect, right? The spoiler probably didn't make that nuance clear, but at least it fits with what Soma said about not changing the stew completely even if miso isn't western
So yeah, the key will be whatever trick SOma came up with while locked away. Even if Mimisaka knows all the ingredients, if Soma has a technique he's unaware of he won't be able to take it into account. And given how much experimentation Soma does, I'm guessing it's a trick related to something he did long before going to tootsuki
The trick will be doing absolutely nothing
I think Souma will use something inspired by Takumi to win and that's why he wants him to watch the match.
As for Mimasaka, if the parallel with Benkei/Yoshitsune continues, a "face turn" should follow his loss. I hope it's handled well.
Soma's trick will actually be that he's actually tracing Mimisaka while Mimisaka is tracing Soma.
Link to the Chinese scans. The last few pics are wonderful.
Be right back with a summary.
