And finally we have the truly best girl again. Hopefully she will make the arc interesting again.
We have to wait for the next chapter to say anything about the nature of the combat against the E10, but doesnt it mean the end of the arc? They cant beat the E10 and then just go back to random challenges. Honestly the whole arc would so much better without the stupid Azami plot and just being light hearted quests and character interaction, with some fun battle against a handycapped E10 at the final.
.
And lastly, what will be the stages in the coming fight against the E10. Being expelled? But that doesnt make sense (okay, nothing of the stuff in the last fights made any sense at all), everyone not able to beat the very best have failed?
And if they beat one or two of the E10, what then? Isnt the whole Azami strategy centered on the E10 being the undisputed top and anyone should follow them? Seeing even just a single one of them defeated completely undermine his whole preaching. And even without it being a Shokugeki and the victors (especially if its team fights) not taking the E10 spot, Azami would have to kick the losers out, because they obviously are not the very best anymore. He already only has a shaky grip on them, so losing more of them couldnt be in his interest.
It.just.doesnt.make.sense.
