Something tells me Daddy is just pissed that he was #3 despite his "blood and education".
Food Wars - It's In the Trash

I don't get what is that bad about papa's philosophy. The school uses most of it's students as stepping stones, so what just teach the elite 10?
-
Well, folks like Megumi wouldn't have survived a more directly elitist setup. I'm guessing their going to contrast Soma's Jewel Generation with whatever Azami's gonna do to the next first years.
I'm hoping Senzaemon will stick around at least until the end of Soma's first year, since it wouldn't make much sense to have a director shift mid-semester.
-
Tbh megumi wouldn't have survived the filters after soma showed up without his influence.
-
Yeah, but that did happen and that's the point.
There's probably gonna be a big theme of seeing the worth in every one since it's been hinted that Soma would make the students around him bloom, something Azami probably wouldn't have the patience for. Granted it's not Senzaemon's style that encourages it, but it does allow it.

First act as Chairman: Polar Star Dorm's Demolition.
Soma and co. to rescue! The task: A 5 Man Team Shokugeki against the top 5 of Elite 10. -
-
I have a feeling this arc might last a bit longer than the Autumn election, just a hunch.
Some of the 'traitors' were quite surprising.
First act as Chairman: Polar Star Dorm's Demolition.
Wouldn't be surprised if this were to happen.
-
Why would anyone target Polar Star dorm? out of the top 16, 6 were from there and a elite 10 lives there.

And petty vengance? That's how you want to deal with your final villian?
-

Probably what is in Azami's mind: "People who cannot afford their own houses aren't suitable for Tootsuki."
-
They are already affording the super expensive school. I guess that polar star is in the expenses. They even grow their own food.
-
This storyline is so completely uninteresting. Let me guess, the guys who helped out Souma are all going to challenge the Elite guys who voted for this to a shokugeki(with Erina included).
Meh just feels uninspired and by the numbers now.

It was said in chapter 6 that most of the students lives in apartment complexes near the academy, that are afforded houses in a way.

I bet it's not going to be the shokugeki between the elite and the first generation students. Beginning with the fact that it wouldn't be believable at all if the first generation defeats the elite ten. And following with the fact that sure it would be uninteresting. I guess it will be much more painful and drammatic. The relationship between Erina and his father is in the middle and sure Saiba has a connection there. So now SnS takes a little turn to the dramatic, and involves not only cooking battles but also development of relatinoships.
Sure there will be no other way to solve the tension between the characters than cooking. But it will take time and tears.
-
Well, the new elite 10 is going to come from the top 8 or top 16 of the autum election.
-
If he's responsible for teaching Erina her God-tongue, then doesn't that mean her backstory as it was explained to us before was a lie? Also she was already quite happy and spoilt by the time she was hating on Alice's birthday cake.

Actually she was already spoiled as a baby:
http://bato.to/read/_/182841/shokugeki-no-soma_by_utopia/2Anyway he didn't say he taught he the tongue, he helped her to "develop it"
-
When I think of Nakiri "developing" her god tongue, I just imagine her dad shoving food down her mouth…
The fact that her entire reputation and ego are based on her god tongue, the fact that she's traumatized by it is just stupid.
-
Eh just because you've got some talent doesn't mean you necessarily aren't traumatized by the whole ordeal of being raised in that sort of lifestyle.
-
I hope the series don't stay too long in the "serious and dramatic territory". I seen too many manga that tried to be too "serious" and the fun of reading it drain away quickly.
I fear Azami's seriousness could really dampen the tone of the series. Food politic can get really boring after a while. Honestly, Azami's ideology will end up destroying Tootsuki financially. His 'evil' plan seem really stupid. At least, in yakitate japan, the final villain plan seem to make more sense.
Fortunately, Soma is the protagonist and he gives zero shit about the politics.SnS is really at its peak when it mainly a light hearted series with occasional drama [[I]eg:characters' backstory], hilarious over the top moment [eg foodgasm] and some serious moment. Like a typical shounen manga should be.
While highly debatable, I think One Piece is the manga that's really able to balance the light hearted tone and serious moment. -
Funny Azami calling himself King, when the elite 10 could banish his ass the next day if they wished.
-
Funny Azami calling himself King, when the elite 10 could banish his ass the next day if they wished.
He who controls the majority of the elite 10 is the king fo the school and that for now is Azami because for whatever reason those 6 wanted him as director rather than the grandpa and I doubt they gonna change that coup d'etat next day. Though this means Azami needs to recruits some new elite 10 supporters soon as in 6 months 4 of his 6 supporters will be gone and the anti Azami faction might grow.
So I see this next arc being about how the first years try to get themselves good enough to battle for the elite ten spots when they get into their 2nd year and where they willl fight the past 2nd and now 3rd years for those 4 spots. Erina and Isshki obviously will try to lead their supporters to get enough elite 10 places to have Azami replaced whereas Azami and his supporters will do the opposite. This could very well end with some of our top8 of the autuum tournament to end in the elite 10. I wonder if Erina will manage to get one of the top5 spots as 2nd year given those spots seems to be reserved for 3rd years only.
-
Now that i think about it, can't Senzaemon just called up the parents of the 6 Elite Ten members??
They are technically teenagers and I think their parents should know that their child just remove their academy's director! Their parent should ground them for pulling such a stunt!
I think this is literally the easiest way to get any of 6 members just change their mind.lol -
Okay this was an amazing chapter, gives a lot of food for thought. (Pun) The Elite Ten having the power to decide shit like that is to be expected, since it was established early on how powerful the Elite 10 are.
[hide][/hide]
"Even Lecturers must obey the Elite 10"
So if enough members vote to change the director, it would be fair. Really hypes up Azami strength and credibility as a villain. Now I guess the Elite Ten are set up as potential opponents as well, which is a really interesting take on their characters. By having each of them make this decision, it adds a little depths to their character. It says something that they would agree to this. Which makes 3rd seat all the more interesting, why didn't he go with Azami? Indifference? The 6 in favour of Azami are ripe for Shokugekis, so I'm looking forward to Soma dueling Rindou-sempai. Or maybe that's Megumi's job, that would be interesting in it's own way. I have this feeling she'll be a warm-up match before the boss if Souma takes her though, kinda like Yugi vs Mai Kujaku in the Duelist Kingdom (But better of course)Anyway, I don't think Totsuki is inherently elitist, even though Azami plans for it to be. Totsuki was just very very very stringent with the quality and skill required of it's students. Most of the elitism came really from it's haughty students, actually, namely Erina. The different seems to be who to cater to. Simple folk aren't even allowed to eat and give opinions on food in Totsuki, so it'll become a 'by cooks, for cooks' thing. You'll need God's Tongue to even appreciate food. If Totsuki was run by Azami, Soma wouldn't have been allowed entry due to such simple, and easily accessible food. I'm betting that this Moon Banquet festival will either be discontinued or restricted to only a select few deemed high class and worthy enough to appreciate this. Basically Azami food is 2deep4u. Surface level enjoyment is not allowed now. I suppose this will be elaborated on in time.
@kevo_koma This is an incredibly simple story, but to me this actually works out in SnS's favour. It's charmingly "cliched". It's not new, but it's done well and it works just like it should. Probably my fav ongoing Jump series right now, despite how simple it is.

-
These kids are given tooooo much power.They are yet to even finish school…meh...
-
If they were cover ops soldiers or pirates no one would bat an eye at their age . but If they are up started business people everyone complains about how precocious they are

the world here is a real world with no 'magical' power or people,that's why it seems out of place.
-
But it seems there's no mystery about how it will develop: a bunch of people puts a villain in the head of the ship and another bunch of people will remove him and possibly restore the title to the previous captain. That's about the cooking. And on the other hand, there are some side related to relationships between the cooks: soma-saiba-erina-azami. All of that has to go somewhere. And the author will create connections between both sides: the cooking and the drama.
-
I wonder if the fake abusive dad takeover is all part of Senzaemon's elaborate plan to make iron chefs out of little kids.
Maybe the kids are going to use the skills they've developed through their time at Tootsuki to effectively cook and eat Azami.
-
not really digging the new development…i suppose now the focus will be on reclaim at least 2 of the seats from the "rogue" council members so that they have the majority again..one being sora and another being someone else.
also don't like the turn heel of part of the elite ten..i prefer when they were not straightly "evil" but just great chefs -

Probably all according to keikaku for Azami. Dude is probably looking forward to get a taste of himself and nurturing a cook worthy of preparing him.:ninja:
-
Ok now things are interesting finally. I'm curious to see where this goes and whether this change means any of the cast will actually be kicked out (you know, living up to that 10% only graduate thing) or if Souma is gonna ass pull his way out of another jam.
Either way, there is some good kindling for a story here, hope it isn't wasted
-
seems legit http://jump-netabare.seesaa.net/article/426069280.html
! Seems like Senzaemon was the impetus for Jouichirou leaving Soma at Tootsuki. He suggested that Soma should take the entrance exam.
He has something he wants to talk with Soma about. -
Chapter 135 spoiler img from baidu.
!
! Apparently Hisako was relieved of her duties also(again).
-
It's revealed:
! that Sensaemon goes to Soma's room to show him his muscles :ninja::
!
! And other pic:
!
! A translation:
Azami:From now on, I will always be by your side。
Azami: I will decide who your clients will be
Azami: I intend to assist Erina in making the best of her talents
Azami: Let's join hands and work hard -
! Wait, so he's taking over Hisako's role?
I feel really bad for Hisako… We saw her determination to adequately assist Erina in earlier arcs,
and we saw just how much she values being able to do so. And now this guy comes along and rips it away.
But then again, Soma did tell her that she should aim to walk BESIDE Erina instead of always being behind her,
so perhaps this is her time to come out of her shell and advance further as a chef?
! Expecting her to join Soma's group, building upon the friendly terms they've already established with each other.
Wouldn't it be adorable if she suddenly started acting like Soma's secretary, wanting to fulfil some of the need to organize and assist someone?
It could also cause comical awkwardness in Megumi, who has been the main assistant of Soma until now. -
! It makes sense though. Erina's dad is a control freak. He wouldn't want anyone around Erina aside from him. So getting rid of her aid would be the first thing that he would want to do.
-
Soma!
Look at my muscles.
Hrnnnnngh!!! -
Casanova changed their front page to Rindou.
Awwwww yeeeaaaaaaa

His Grandpa probably.

I kinda hope not if the author was trying to create a Soma x Erina relationship lol.
-
Aahh. I see. Of course the problem is not "WHY IS THERE AN OLD MAN POSING TOPLESS IN MY ROOM!?!?!"
-
I kinda hope not if the author was trying to create a Soma x Erina relationship lol.
manga could be going the Negima route where the first girl (Asuma) is related to Soma.
-
While it would be funny if Senzaemon is Soma's grandfather, it would effectively kill Soma x Erina.
Erina having a "crush" on Soma's dad is a bit weird as it is.Imagine dating a girl who kinda have a crush on your dad! -

Wouldn't they be cousins? Not half brother half sister….Unless their mother is the same person...Which makes everything a bit weirder.
But I don't mind if they are related. I'm not one for the SxE romance. It'd open up doors for better girls.

So the plot is open to be developed in any direction in regards to romance. Anyway, right now there're more reasons to think Erina has a strong relationship with Saiba than with Soma. The poor girl has a non solved Electra's complex.

Chapter 136 spoiler
! Confirmed Azami was the third seat during Joichirou and Gin's time. But he was still a first year then!
! Also, Senzaemon asked Soma to save Erina from her dad.
