I demand votation through Hunter x Hunter rules, the bottom half is scrapped, and everyone votes again, without being able to pick any of the scrapped parts!!!
But there is kinda of a triple tie in the 9th place.

That is an interesting proposition. I'm all for it if enough members agree to it.
Tie breakers will probably be decided by coin flip or other similar methods.
Saiba is in the bottom half though
They literally have this in the chapter. He lost 101 times out of 121 matches.
The earlier version said otherwise which cause some confusion.
Am I the only one who dislike the fact that Gin was so much more inferior than Joichirou? The 20 win could have been just Joichirou throwing the match…
Wasn't the whole point of the AE arc about rivals pushing each other to improve? If you don't have rivals, you will stagnate like Erina. Soma has Hayama, Ryou and Takumi as his rivals. Joichirou was literally god-tier.
Unless the author intention was to show Joichirou stagnating in the past because he had no rivals in his generation, I don't really like it. The author could have potray Gin & Joichirou to be roughly the same level.
This reek of "The espada 0 crap".
I'm afraid he's gonna pull the same shit with Eishi & Rindou because we haven't seen Rindou cook at all while eishi's skills has been put on display many times.:getlost:

The issue of course is that most folks - like me - only check in every now and again. This forum isn't Life Itself, right? So we have to assume that some reasonable proportion of the populace are unable, unwilling, or uninterested in the most specific details of voting. Even if they give a shit in a general sense.
I'm open to discussion on the details of Best Girl Decision, obviously. There's a lot of gold in this here mine.

Certainly, hence the prerequisite that enough members voice their agreement for it.
I don't actually know how many that would be but I guess it'd be somewhere around 10 people?
In comparison, a Best Girl competition would be more feasible. I'll think about how to work that one out.
I was wondering how it's going to handle the ridiculous notion of these guys defeating the 10.
It now all makes sense, bringing Souma's dad - possibly the finest chef in the entire series - as the trainer is a convincing plot point.
The training will probably give them a temporary power boost to barely edge their opponent and win.
I'm hoping the author will include Isshiki, Kuga, former 3 seat (& perhaps Rindou) into the rebel side. It makes no sense to NOT include them.
I can see Soma & co. taking down 2nd years E.10. I don't have issue with that.
But the 3rd years E.10? Only Erina can feasibly do it. Any 1st year defeating Tsukasa will be a complete asspull. If they can defeat the 3rd years, there will be no more challenge left in Tootsuki…
The author has been pretty careful with the power balance. Soma managed to beat Eizan because Eizan was an idiot. Soma barely edged over Hayama. Soma lost to Tsukasa completely. I hope he doesn't screw it up.
I'm expecting "villains underestimate protagonist/villain makes a mistake" trope for most of the matches...
Azami, Kurokiba's Ebi Stand, Erina
(C'mon, Azami just wants to Make Tootsuki Great Again! :ninja:)
If it's allowed, I'll happily switch my joke vote for Azami into a Megumi vote….

Nothing wrong with that.
…I'm amused that Azami is the joke vote in that trio.

There's no way Soup de Poisson could ever be a joke vote.
As for Erina… what can I say, I have bad taste when it comes to girls
Screw the popularity poll. All that matters is which girl is best girl. That's the only reason I read this silly manga anyway. Whose with me?

I read it for best boys mostly.
I read it because I think it is good.
You should have learnt that generalizations never work. Everyone reads this for the food.
Also, is that fan poll still on? If so, please add Alice, Ryou and Subaru some votes for me.

You certainly got that right. I mean this manga as a lot of appealing factors I guess, so I guess it makes sense.
Yeah, the food is def the best part, and still fun no matter how much I shit on it.
I'm also still intrigued by just how bad the plot will get, and how many spiders Azami will be forced to eat when it's all over.
Fool, then Azami will realize how much Umami a tarantula has!!!
Zero.

Well, I'd forgotten that it was supposed to end on Dec 4th (not 7th) and mistakenly announced that there'd be more time so, I guess I'll count your votes.
Right then, if no one else wishes to add more votes to this, the final results are as follows:
Arlong Park's Shokugeki no Soma Character Popularity Poll Results
1st Place (14 votes) and the tentative title of Best Girl goes to Nakiri Alice!
2nd Place (12 votes) and vying for another chance at being Best Girl is Tadokoro Megumi!
3rd Place (9 votes), which isn't too bad for a main character, is Yukihira Souma!
Everyone else can be found below:

Congratulations, Nakiri Alice! I'm sorry I'm not as festive as Present Mic but here's a little gift for being so popular:
!
That was pretty fun guys! It's always nice to see where our shared interests lie. :happy:
I'm still rooting for you Megumi…

An okay chapter with some fun character interactions. If my theory on why Jouchiro quit is true, I can get behind the idea of him quitting and just being a wanderer.
I really hope Azami doesn't have any past beyond being an inherently creepy asshole
Saiba just wanted to serve food to people that would appreciate it. But his rebellion created the monster that is Azami.
So Rindou is best chef. She's lazy just like her daddy.

I thought this was worthy sharing it.

What manga is that?
! It became a regular occurence that Saiba served the students at the dormitory his failed dishes.
! Even though Jun joined the dormitory very recently, she already became a prey of Saiba's failed dishes
! Saiba apparently is going to participate in the next year's World Young Cooking Competition, known as the "THE BLUE"
! As Dojima and Azami are excited to hear the news, Saiba challenges them to a battle
! Saiba wins the battle with ease. Dojima and Azami are frustrated that they lost.
! Saiba: "This dormitory is the best place"
! The next day, the students at Totsuki have assembled to celebrate Saiba's participatin in "THE BLUE"
! But there are around 50 students that accuse Saiba of having bribed the officials from "THE BLUE" and that's the only reason why he is allowed to participate
! Dojima tells Saiba to ingore them but Saiba ignores Dojima's advice and suggets to the 50 students to do a 50 vs 1 Régiment de Cuisine and the one who wins will win the price to participate in "THE BLUE"
! The 50 cooks get defeated one by one as Saiba demonstrates his overwhelming talent. As Saiba is getting bored, he tells 10 of them to come at him all at once. They say that there was no way to defeat the prodigy and seem to have given up but Saiba grabs them by the neck.
! Saiba: It must be pretty easy to call someone a prodigy despite not knowing how difficult and challening it is to keep pushing the way forward huh?!!
! Saiba: If you don't have any intentions to present your dishes, then stop it now!
! Saiba: I will finish you off then!
! Dojima: (When I think of it, it was since this time that Joichiro started to not show his smile anymore while cooking)
! Azami: …Wonderful
! Dojima: People like to call him with different names
! Dojima: A true Genius! A Pioneer! A Revolutionary! A Pioneer of Taste!
! Dojima: But since this day…. Joichiro obtained one more name
! Dojima: Demon (Ashura)
! End

Geez. Chill out Saiba. It just a Cooking Match.
Oh look, teasers of a World Championship. Guess we saw a glimpse of how the manga could continur after this arc.
Yah, I was coming to say that.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Nice Joichiro, it's like the iceberg of success, you only see the part that crushes you, but the whole effort and crazy training that went into coming up and refining the ideas, with halfassed determination and training of course that you aren't going to even be in the same league as him.
I'm asuming that he's doing it the Soma way.
Also, if it's 10 dishes vs 1, doing it group-wise is less challenging than 1v1, as you have to cook just once, and that dish just has to be better than the rest of them, it's not like they are adding the flavor, it's not impresive at all, it's just time saving.
See, is it weird/incredibly wrong that I took that to mean that he cooked 10 separate dishes at the same time?
It's pretty obvious how this arc is gonna conclude… Saiba isn't a genius, he just tries every possible combination and learns through experience. People don't see the work he puts into his craft. Soma does the same thing, which is why he'll win against the Elite Ten's first seat. Nakiri will learn that there's no one method of cooking. The Polar Star dorm will be reinstated. Pretty formulaic; but gimme more recipes.
See, is it weird/incredibly wrong that I took that to mean that he cooked 10 separate dishes at the same time?
same. I mean, cooks make multiple meals at once all the time.
And does anyone see Saiba train?
Two ways this flashback ends
Soma's dad meets his mom who teaches him the "better way" of cooking
Soma's dad was bullshitting the entire to make a point.
Either way, this BLUE thing seems like an avenue for the story to continue after this is done. We'll see if it makes it that far.
The pile of chef corpses kinda cracks me up.
Like okay. You beat these guys in cooking but did you round house kick them in the face too? Why are they on the floor?
After reading this chapter, Azami's motives and his overall view of the cooking world now make so much sense.
Well this B.L.U.E. tournament could very well be the basis for continuing this series after this arc
And after B.L.U.E we go to space.
Well, seeing as the B is for "Bishoku", can we see the localization use G.L.U.E.?
Chap out….
Seems like Souma's mum will soon come to story,about time.
ebisawa is soma mommy 95% confirmed
you heard it here first, folks
edit: second
I can use my single star powers to claim the FIRST.
But yeah, she has the right aura.
I always thought Souma's mom would be called Yukihira, but kay.
I tought that what burned Jouchiro was going to be the elite wankering, but it seems now that he's actually getting overwhelmed about moving forward, the trailblazer methaphor made him seem gaunt and hurt with it.

I'm always bored when the foodgasm are just clothes exploding. If you aren't going to do what made your manga cool, just don't do it.

It would be bit anti-climatic,i expect more 'homely' vibe for Souma's mom.Ebisawa,so far,seems to represent same system that Jouichiro wanted to leave so desperately.
Soma's mom will be just some "no name" that Azami cannot fathom why his beloved senpai will ever hook up with it.
I will really laugh if Ebizawa as the same function and role as the other alumni. I'm not sure why some are thinking that Ebizawa will be an crucial character just because she's part of the PSD golden age. Jun was a member of the PSD and her main role is being Hayama's waifu. Gin serve as a judge most of the time.
There's this user on reddit that keep insisting Ebizawa is Megumi's mother. That user even put out comparison pic between Megumi's mum and Ebisawa. Since Soma and Erina have awesome parent, Megumi should have one too! Funny thing, people actually believed it…
