Souma just gave her the B and she went jelly. Next on the list...Erina.

I really like Alice. She is like the most agreeable Ojou-sama character. She is confident, but not deluded, and her cooking really is very interesting. If it were not a bento battle, Souma might be the one packing up.
Peace.
Just caught up.
...I've had some good bacon... but none so good that I felt I would be calling Trojan man by meal's end. Very entertaining and well done.
I note that the overall pervyness of the series has declined since the first volume, as if it was there to keep the audience around long enough to vest in the idea of competitive cooking.
That might be true, but I think it also goes for the author; as the story went forward, he probably got more and more interested in the "serious" setting he had created and the emphasis on the ecchi lessened. Let's hope this development also suits the hentai artist drawing the manga, as it's highly probable he was hired precisely because the original idea required those hot scenes very regularly.Originally Posted by neflight86
Yeah, guess he had to make an impact with the first couple of chapters with the foodgasms and general artstyle ( which is great )
I'd argue the curry sisters' foodgasms are the most perverted in the series. By far. The one sister is literally clenching her thighs to keep from squirting (chapter 54). I don't care how graphic that sounds, it's true. She also has three or four full-on orgasm faces in chapter 53.
The ecchi hasn't lessened, it's just gotten more focused.
New chap is out.....I am totally in camp Alice now. And RIP Megumi
Having her attending be stronger than Alice seems a little forced but it's not like they had to retcon anything so i guess that's fine, that's why the guy was involved in mystery from the get go.
But damn, poor Megumi. Every time she walks into a challenge with even a shred of confidence she gets screwed.

Poor girl indeed. Sure we are all rooting for her but come on....Alice's aide says she hasn't beaten him often so in terms of cooking skill he'd be better. Ahh maybe she will win with her warm home cooking feels. But how much effect would that have on a guy picked up from the streets?
I'd expect her to lose. I don't think it particularly matters who the opponent is, though, so saying she's screwed by facing any particular one is incorrect. In this sort of tournament they should be able to beat anybody. After all, if there was somebody they couldn't beat, they would have already lost because ultimately they would have to face the person anyway in the final match if not before. Or a person who was able to beat the one they couldn't have beaten, and was thus even more dangerous an opponent. So, they need to have the confidence to beat anybody. It's not good enough to merely aim to be within the top 10 or something.
Souma could have said some nicer words to Alice. I don't think she would have taken them as condescending if they weren't overly obviously so. Maybe he would have, had he known more about her not so warm past. It's not like Souma would have been her real enemy, it's the sister and the rest of the family. That much she has made evident, though, by associating with Souma so freely. But then again, she was always looking down on him, not really seriously considering him a rival, so who knows what will happen in the future. I hope her relationship with Souma won't turn sour.
The real twist would be Megumi still winning, though I really doubt they'd do it.
I wouldn't mind seeing a Souma vs Megumi bout though. If he needed a lesson about losing again, I could think of no better. He just beat Alice in a showy vs warmth fight, and Megumi could probably beat him in a simplicity (but perfection of flavor) vs complexity.
I see that they tried that little cliché bit of Erina being jealous that Alice can be so free, but it was hard to take it sincerely when Erina is such a bitch consistently to everyone but her Second. Instead it came off catty.
Daww....I secretly hoped for an anime adaption. But still, it looked good.

I find it a bit interesting Alice's second is a man like that. Alice was always lacking a warm family, so why did she take in a dude who's as friendly as a wild beast and thinks cooking is war? Was it because Alice wants to beat Erina and thus having around somebody who only thinks of crushing everybody else is inspiring? That seems to clash slightly with Alice's general attitude that's much more relaxed and jolly than Erina's queen of the (cooking) world attitude.
Megumi isn't having much luck withstanding his stare.

As expected, Megumi didn't make it. This was more realistic, considering she had no interest in contests before now. She still needs to train and get mentally stronger before she can stand next to people who even thrive in battle. I'd guess that attitude would also be essential in having the courage to invent new, victorious dishes and combinations of tastes. Without courage, one would be conservative, sticking to old ways and methods, and clearly that wouldn't take anybody far with these guys. But it seems she's changing fast.
I do hope Kurokiba will drop soon, though. He's annoying and has zero respect for customers.
Dude undressed his undies. That's worth a shitload of points in his book. That's all that matters in the end.
Is it? I very much believe that old man gives absolutely and utterly no freebies to anybody at all. So, it's irrelevant if she impressed him or not, as long as she didn't win. He might remember her name, but she still needs to do everything by herself to get forward.
He doesn't give freebies, that's true. But it seemed like all the judges opinions don't really matter when he judges. They even take his stripping as a judging standard.

Oh my god, this chapter was funny. Also a spices specialist and medicinal herb specialist making hamburgers...? That doesn't seem too appealing.

I don't care about the girl's turtle blood burger, but I certainly would love to taste what the dude was making! Even if it wasn't even a hamburger no matter how you look at it. But I guess from a Japanese point of view it was close enough. The right man won this fight, no doubt about it. Even if we ignore the dude's highly correct words of somebody who's satisfied with being number 2 having no chance against someone aiming for the top, the health food girl had already lost when hamburger was announced to be the dish. A hamburger and healthy have nothing to do with each other. This was even more pointed than Alice failing to understand what a bento is and thus dooming herself.
