Prediction: By at least her 3rd year, Erina becomes 1st seat, and Soma challenges her for 1st seat.
Has anyone predicted this already?

I love how menacingly happy-go-lucky Grandpa Nakiri's fliers are.
Soma's goal now is: Defeat they and get their abilities.
Where did I see that before?

Soma is actually a cooking megaman.
Or Sylar from Heroes.
Or any other power absorber
Great chapter. So hyped for this Momiji arc.
I personally hope for a glorious return of Takumi. I enjoy seeing Souma being all badass and I don't want to see Takumi left behind for too long.
Random prediction: the first seat will be revealed to be Doujima's son, 2nd year.
For those subscribe to Viz's translation, what's the event with the Elite Ten called? Thanks in advance.
Readmanga uses "red leaf hunt convention" which doesn't make much sense.
Personally, I think the event will consist of team battles, not 1vs 1. We had a lot of that in the election arc already.
Souma, Ryou and Hayama are all excellent chef but to go one on one against the top members is an overkill for them.
Team battles give side characters time to shine and allow for amusing interaction between the characters if they are partnered together.

It's called the "Momiji Meet and Greet"
Momiji is the japanese maple leaf/tree. I'm suprised they left that untranslated.
Meet and Greet? The old mans are a bunch of liars.lol
Liars? I have no idea what you're talking about. Why, what about the training camp?

Just like you don't replace sushi with "misc. Japanese stuff on rice with vinegar" or tanuki with "Japanese raccoon dog".
If something is uniquely native to the land you often just use the local name. It happens like all the time.

Haha. True.
I only learn what momiji means today. So, it make no sense to me initially.Pardon my ignorance.
Yeah but Sylar had no respect for leftovers.
Stupid simplified analogy
Soma is Peter (just a sponge for cooking techniques)
Subaru is Syler (Taking their techniques and kind of killing chefs in the process by taking their tools and confidence)
I wonder where the Subaru character is going to go cooking wise. Like how do you spin him to be different from what Soma is attempting.
Maybe a different cuisine at it's core? Soma centers most of his stuff around japanese dishes.

But Peter is sooo dull lol. I'd rather see it as Soma eviscerating his opponents and taking their techniques afterwards.
As for Subaru, I'd say maybe start fusing the cuisines of different opponents together? That'd at least spice up his style a bit. Soma as you said tends to center everything around his own Japanese cuisine, so someone who doesn't really have a central type could do that much I guess? idk
Difference between Soma and Subaru is, Soma learns new techniques to improve his own recipe.
Subaru on the other hand, takes someone else's recipe whole, and improvise on it with his own touch.
The difference is that Soma has a solid foundation as a chef, while Subaru is rather hollow.
Yeah. It's just a question of where Subaru will go now that he got beat, because I'm hoping he'll evolve beyond his character being a one trick pony.
It could end in Subaru being the alter ego of Soma. Like Superman and Bizarro. :ninja:
Question for the Viz translators on this site.
The headmaster says "the annual momiji maple meet and greet is nigh…" then on the next page the flier just says "momiji meet and greet". Does this difference mean anything or is it a typo?
Damn. I just realized how cool Volume 12's cover is. That majorly badass. You would NEVER think it's a cooking manga.

Yeah, its totally not about teenage boys with awesome swords.
Chapter 118 spoilers
!
! Why isn't Erina?
! From what I've seen she is grouped with the first years(Soma, Megumi, Takumi, Hayama, etc) for this thing.
I'm not quite clear yet on the specifics on why that is so we'll have to wait for more complete spoilers.

From what Yugioh guy (2 year) implies, it seem like this 5 are third years and most likely the top 5 of Elite Ten (Dude with sword, huge dude wearing earflap cap, loli girl, black hair girl that dresses rather casually and handsome dude). Yugioh mention they are busy competing with them. Handsome dude with the coat over his shoulder is definitely the first seat. My assumption. I love how Souma just go straight to the question.
! Well this is my guess on the position of the rankings, anyone else got other guesses?

! The same as a my guess. I was kinda hoping that guy wasn't no.1 because it seem too obvious. He gave off such a first seat vibe.

! Wasn't it implied by Doujima that Isshiki is the best second year male? Also the yugioh kid really gives off a jobber feel. Anyways, here is my guess:
!
! The pretty boy is obviously number one. I hope the token Loli is not above the big guys.
Anime Nikumi did not dissapoint

I had to go and heat some pork from the fridge after watching this episode, this show is too good.
! It's the top eight from the Autumn Election with Erina joining the first years. Then the nine remaining from the Elite 10. Oddly satisfying how the numbers evened out. I don't know what they're saying but Erina's expression was funny when Soma and Hisako exchanged words. They changed Takumi's hair. Maybe because they didn't want him to look too similar to the cool guy from the elite 10? I NEED NUMBERS NOW, though it seems pretty obvious which one is top dog. The guy with the large sword looks straight out of Bleach, never expected to be in a cooking manga.
Read Manga Today released the English scan hours ago. It's a good chapter. It's nice to see that the second years are just as dysfunctional as the first years.
Who said the Elite Ten went from 1 to 10?:ninja:
We all know Erina is #0
Only after releasing her Bankai
I wish the first thing Soma asked was "Which one of you is the first seat?" It would have been more badass.
All this time, the Elite Ten has been cooking the Tootsuki Academy in order to release the food goddess that resides within Erina gourmet taste-bud cells and eat the world. :ninja:
I'd kinda hoped the Elite 10 would have revealed bit by bit, and not just dumped on us all at once. We've only seen three out of 10 for forever, and then we get all at once. Of course, they'll be introduced bit by bit, and there'll be short/long arcs featuring each of them, but I still would have preferred a bit by bit reveal, with maybe a max of three at a time, I guess.

I do agree with you on that. It takes away the mysteriousness around them.
But I prefer this way than waiting forever for all the members to be shown. Oda took 500+ chapters to show all the Shichibukai.
i dont see the series taking it in to third year. more like he beat everyone in his second year and than goes in to the world to learn even more different coocing styles
Alright, Chaliapin Steak Don time!
It was pretty good! I forgot to put negi topping on it, and when I realized I was halfway through the don. :heh:
The usual cooking pics:
! First, making of the neri-ume (the plum paste)
I was just going to buy one, but couldn't find any. So I made my own, just like Soma.
It's a little hard to tell from the pic above, but plum paste is mixed in the rice.
Using a wooden spoon mash umeboshi with seeds already taken out.
Mix a few spoons of mirin and sugar, and mix them well over low heat.
!
! Tenderize an appropriate sized sirloin steak.
Chop up finely diced onions and place them on the meat.
I used a ziplock bag as shown to rub it on the meat. Store in fridge for 30 min.
! Take the meat out, and cook the onions in butter on a frying pan. Set the onions aside.
Cook the meat on both sides in butter, then leave the meat juice in the pan and set the meat aside.
Pour a half a cup of red wine in the pan, and let it mix with the juice.
Place the onions back in the pan, and pour some soy sauce on the side of the pan without the sauce. Let the soy sauce get burnt a little before adding to the mix.
Get a teaspoon of flour and mix with water, then add to the sauce.
! Now add the plum paste in hot steamed rice, cut the steak and place it on the rice, and pour the onion sauce over it. Done!

If it's popularity lasts, I don't see why it wouldn't last over the course of 3 years.

its not because of its popularity. At this point he is in the top 4 of the first years. and can beat most of de 2th years. Next year he is a second year and the only people above him are in the elite 10. he might be a seat himself by the start of the next year. there are not enough oponents on the school to beat. Unless there is some international coocking contest i think it will end at the end of second year.

We don't know anything about how the 3rd year and 2nd year at tootsuki works. It may well be that alumni and shokugeki with chefs all over the world is a big thing in the upper years. This would give the author a chance to expand the game, throwing alumni and chefs at the students to make up for the loss in competition from the upper years. Eventually it could all lead up to the big 1 v 1 with Daddy following graduation.
There's no reason why they can't just get inventive and have the manga progress through the school years. It may not be super straightforward, but that's what makes manga great ;)
Do we know how Erina got her seat among the elite ten? Did she already had a duel with one the them? Or how was it?

She is the Director's Granddaughter and has that God Tongue.
Do we need any more proof?

Yes. It's not a kingdom but an academy.
Well, I don't think wee need to know how every member got a spot on the Elite 10.
It's not a matter of necesity. I only wonder about it, and hope it will be shown later since the premisa seems to be you advances according to your own merits, not to you blood privilagies. And it would be nice to see how Erina did it- .
There's probably a Totsuki Junior High, and Erina's grades/skills were so good that she was garanteed a position.
