He did just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn.

Come on, Ryou! Don't lose! Use your trap card!

Alice's powers of being Best Girl no know bounds. Even in a manga with Tadokoro and Nikumi, she's still far and away the best girl.

Thanks. Didn't realize chapter 90 is out. And kinda agree to the extent that Alice is pretty awesome.
Still enamored with that color page.
-
Yeah, starting to feel like Ryou will win
-
So hard to tell who will move on. I feel Spice Boy probably will…But. Usually when I try to guess I'm way off.
-
I'd like Ryou to win. Ch 90 out: [http://casanovascans.com/read/shokugeki_no_soma/en/0/90/page/1
E](http://casanovascans.com/read/shokugeki_no_soma/en/0/90/page/1)dit: But it gives me the impression that Hayama will win. While Ryou is focused on winning, Hayama is focused on cooking.
-
Alice is so best girl, all the other girls are lucky she's not participating in the Somabowl.
I'm hoping Ryou wins this round and goes to the final because I really want to see what his opinion on Soma is. We've all seen that Soma always takes competition seriously, like when he lost to Nishinoya, so I want to see if Ryou dislikes Soma like he does the rest of his opponents.
-
Ryou could so something to mess up Hayama's smell sense, like cook something really stinky.
-
Or punch him in the face, maybe that's why he's doing all that training.

Ryou wants to win badly, but he doesn't seem like the type who'd accept a win that only came about through sabotage. His desire to win is a desire to prove his own worth, so undermining the opponent kind of defeats the point
-
A punch in the nose would be strategic!

If Hayama makes it to finals, Soma will utilize his peanut butter octopus tentacles as his trump card against him

Which is why I want Ryou to win and Hyama be all like "but, but, but my god's nose… WHY DID YOU FAIL ME; NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE???". XD
Then again the judges and audience have made it pretty clear that Hayama is considered the champion and sure winner of this match as has Hayama demonstrated with his answer he is sure of his victory as well. The only one who seems to believe that Ryou has a chance to win is Alice. :c
I'm hoping for a surprise victory by the "underdog" of this match thrimuphing over talent (nose) with skill (hard work), but that doesn't seem to be the case... -
He just needs to draw Exodia ezy win.

This is arguably the best match of the main tournament. I must give credit to hayama, the guy is a very dangerous chef and right now he's humiliating kurokiba. I'm still confident that kurokiba is going to win this match, he who laughs last laughs the best and hayama already got his laugh. Now it's kurokiba turn and I know that hidden card will be a game changer.
-
I miss yugioh. And it looks like kurokiba will pull a god card
-
Hayama versus Souma has been promised. Where as Kurokiba doesn't care who he's up against. For that reason alone, it makes sense him coming third/fourth in this tournament.
-
That is the best dinosaur claws I've ever seen
-
Well, the claws weren't effective on Beeffy guy, Ryuwhatever is the underdog. And Hayama is just too meh.
-
anybody have the summary for ch 91?

This post is deleted!

! HA, it getting yugioh references now?
-
Chapter 91 is out (though not on their site). Even with the ending, still sticking with my predicted winner.

If the new spoilers are true I call so much bullshit on this series. People cry fucking asspull for the dumbest shit in some threads but if the new spoiler is true that's some true lame asspull.
! Basically it's a tie because one of the judges turned in a white paper and it was 2 vs 2 votes making the finals a three way battle.
Yeah don't know hope it's fake but if true this is really fucking stupid. This makes the whole point of having an uneven number of judges pointless and breaks the internal logic the series has setup for itself. You don't break your own rules without a veeeeeeery good reason and I'd argue just to have Soma face off against 2 interchangable goons instead of one ain't one. -
I agree this is rather lame, if it is true.
Here's a spoiler pic.
http://www.mangabird.com/shokugeki-no-soma-92! this would be a very poor compromise indeed.
! The series should've either set up the foreshadowed Hayama/Soma rematch and then built that up for the final as an opponent that's likely to enter the top 10 or just went completely ballsy and had the Dark Horse try to take it all. That match might have not had as much personal stakes, but they've been building up his character match by match and could have, though I don't know how, led to an emotional matchup between Kurokiba and Soma. Plus, Kurokiba had the coolest imagery in the tournament.
! A bummer indeed. -

! A bummer indeed.Sigh the pic does seem to confirm the spoiler
! (same sentence appears something something about "a first in the history of the autumn election"), well that's pretty disappointing to be honest. Said it multiple times that I disliked how Ryou was hyped up out of nowhere just to raise his profile after Alice's loss but that + this now sets up a bad precedent.
I really really dislike series that don't have a problem breaking their internal rules just have more "excitement". The effect if any at all wears off fast and the feeling that no rules have significance stays and can make a lot of things that come after less impact full. Like who is to say that any future Shokugeki with super high stakes can't have a draw now it's dumb…
! And to be honest how is a three way battle more exciting any way. The author has done very little to make me give a fuck about Ryou nor Hayama. Hayama's motivation of doing this for Jun is so vague and Ryou's motivation of being a competition junkie because his life was harsh... well not quite something I can connect with he just comes of as that character that all the kids will say is "cool" but feels rather superficial right now.
! I think with how this went it shows why people had a certain mindset about what the best opponent order would have been for clean flow with the buildup and a proper climax. The author did break expectations but I can't say the way it turned out it was well done.
There's a reason why these narrative conventions exist they work well. Breaking them for short term surprise ain't the way to go about building suspense. It's been pretty messy.
! Also we didn't even get anything after Subaru's defeat regarding Eizan that subplot has yet to do anything. His man failed no reaction what is his damn role in this election. Will we get some bullshit interference in the finals now? Just to make it "Soma only lost because Eizan"? Urgh...
! Let's just hope we'll at least that characters will stay enjoyable despite it all. At least on that front it has yet to disappoint me, despite my scepticism I enjoyed Subaru. I'm just antsy about when we get these bits. I kind of understand why we got Subaru's flashback only at the end and despite not being fond of that I see how it might have been awkward to insert it before that. -

Any idea what '二人とも上げてしま之ばいい ' means, though?
! Its pretty confusing to me, the way the sentence was structured. -
! I never had the disdain for Hayama you do. I felt like he was the actual first rival for Soma (Sorry Takumi, but you had rival turned ally early on that might never catch up from your first appearance. Still hoping the series does more with you down the line and fleshes you out more but we'll see). He wasn't a jerk or any more cockier than other chefs here, which I guess might make him less distinct from the cast, but makes him much more refreshingin the general shonen genre to me as an opponent that Soma wants to beat but not be a type like the 7th seat currently is.
! Hayama should have gotten more of what Kurokiba got, at least during his first match. I'm more favorable of his relationship with Jun, but learning more about him as a person would have been nice. That's why I would have been ok with Kurokiba winning. He's been building momentum with each match, and while simplistic, we know him fairly personally now.
! I doubt the 9th seat is going to do something for the final match, but the lack of reaction to Subaru getting defeated is kinda unsettling since that was set up at the beginning.
! Huh. With all the negativity and warning signs maybe I should just drop the series now instead of getting crushed by storytelling down the line like how Toriko ended up for me… -

! Its pretty confusing to me, the way the sentence was structured.! I'm not experienced enough to say for sure I do make a lot of mistakes when I don't have a lot of context so take this with a grain of salt.
But with what I'm given here my guess it's something along the lines "It's fine to let them both advance."! I never had the disdain for Hayama you do.

Any character that's just there to strike cool poses or being pretty is somewhat boring to me.
Like we only have to see a bit more about Hayama's connection to Jun for it to be fine.
Like was he picked up by her, does he genuinely have a crush for Jun or is it more a gratitude thing.
There's just so little we know. Kurokiba is arguably fine we actually got to know a fair bit it just feels all very unsubstantial to me so if anything I probably have personal bias on that front, his character bores me.I mean I can get behind the boy whose view on the cooking world is just opening up while trying to chase his father, I can get behind the girl that just has confidence issues, I can get behind the guy having father complex and the girl that has a complex about her genius cousin. With Kurokiba I'm not sure what I should connect with.
The hardass boy because his childhood was kill or be killed for me personally there's not a lot of humanity in that. I mean it's not even grave enough to get a pity reaction out of me. It's just kay you had a hardlife kudos to your for going through that but if that's the only thing you have going for you bye, I'm out.
-
That's fair. Kurokiba's personality isn't exactly my favorite either, which is why his match with Tadokoro didn't grab me as much as I would have wanted, but he's growing on me, particularly after these last few chapters. And, I guess in a sentence, his complex is he was raised in a world where winning was the key to his self-preservation as a kid, and that stuck with him when attending the school. There's less attachment to his plight, but it's an understandable complex given his past.
Plus like I said, stands and card games. Kurokiba's been getting fun imagery to play with.
-
! I'm not averse to this development. Hayama has the personality of a brick but he has a more of a personal rivalry with Soma. Kurokiba is more fun and interesting but he doesn't really have any personal beef with Soma. A three way battle where Soma manages to surpass the both of them would make for a very interesting and exciting battle. A little lolwut that the super duper judging panel couldn't come to a consensus on the better dish but whatever, maybe the translations will paint that in a better light.

! I agree, the three way battle could be interesting. Is changing the rule something bad to the story? As DarhtAsthma said it'll depend on what will bring us. To me it wont be a big issue, if that battle gifts us with some nice scenes. After all, sometimes, something nice with the traditions is breaking them down.
-
I don't care what anybody says kurokiba is one of the more interesting character in this series. He's a badass chef who isn't arrogant like every other chef in the series and he doesn't brag about his skill outside the cooking arena. He's a two dimensional character with one side being nonchalant and the other being an aggressive cook. I must admit that this outcome is pretty lame/disappointing and I'm tired of seeing hayama getting into a tie. Also what's the point of a shokugeki if one of the judges can choose not to vote? Anyway I still think kurokiba is going to win this competition. I rather have him or souma winning this competition, instead of the arrogant hayama.
-
A shokugeki has uneven numbers so a tie does not happen but this is not a shokugeki.
According to this:
http://casanovascans.com/read/shokugeki_no_soma/en/0/76/page/15
they need to reach an agreement so a tie actually can happen if they are not able to reach one but it still feels like cheating -

Yes, because characters are defined in terms of how "badass" they are and that dimensions are purely how many facets we can name that are otherwise one dimensional
That said I do agree that I think Kurokiba's more interesting than Hayama, but not for the reasons you outlined. Also spoiler tag your comment because it contains info that hasn't been scanlated

! The 5 judges don't need to reach an agreement one can win just by gaining the majority of votes or else we wouldn't have to make a point of one of the judges not voting at all because she can't decide. Because if it were the agreement thing we could just have 3 vote for one 2 for the other and still have an impasse on deciding the winner.
! Also you're showcasing round 1 of the main tournament which was different in many ways, for one I don't think we ever saw any of the judges during the first round write their own votes it was always the director that announced the winner after what I assume where discussion (on and off screen). This time we saw each of the judges write their own vote after Soma's match.
! It's a major cop out no matter what anyone says, with that this will hang over every shokugeki we're going to see. What's to stop one of the judges to not vote at all again? Nothing as far as we know there's no penalty for not doing your friggin job as a judge.
! Doesn't make it better that this is the first incident in election history of having this happen. I mean sure more power to all the people that find this exciting. I don't want to take that away. But this possibility should have had a better setup, to me it just feels cheap.
Every time you break one of your own set up rules as a writer the significance has to be felt and understood.
Like with One Piece where people can't gain more than one devil fruit power, everyone understood the significance behind Blackbeard not abiding by this.
! Here I don't get it, things that don't help this are the fact that we don't know what's the reward for winning the whole damn thing.
Right now it's only the difference in prestige, but only being in the main tournament to begin with, was set up as something very prestigious.
So that doesn't seem that huge. We can assume stuff that maybe it's something like the right to challenge a seat or whatever but that ain't the point.
! Also who's to say that this can't repeat for the finals, yay first autumn election with 3 winners, we'll probably need to make it clear that there can't be ties in the finals because we just broke our own rule….Ok ok I think I'm done complaining
