Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma (食戟のソーマ)

Disgusting!

These were never meant to go together...

I'm like a genius!

Squid tentacles and peanut butter...

This is so nasty!

Soma!

Your friend's here.

'Kay!

Well, let's do this!

Please enjoy.

Whoo. Bon appetite, my lady!

Thank you very much!

Dude...

Those two are battling it out again!

Oh! Look. Mayu's the judge this time.

Ahh...

Here we go...

You think today's the day?

Shh! Mayu's trying to think, okay?

Hm.

This one here.

Well there it is!

Daddy Yukihira wins again!

Ah!

Soma...

Looks like you still have some learnin' to do, don'tcha?

Well, I guess I'll take the loss today...

Y'know to say something like that,

you have to beat me at least ONCE!

You're sittin' at almost 500 losses, that about right?

Huh?!

Don't even, that's only 489!

Well don't worry, you'll be there before you know it.

Whatever, Dad! You don't know!

Ahhh...

Mmm. Gah!

Ah! Ohhh!

The old man's fried rice is freakin' ridiculous!

I, like, can't believe I can totally get something like this

right in our neighborhood!

I'm losing my freakin' mind!

But still! Um, Soma, yours was really tasty, too!

I'd just never had fried rice anything like this before!

Yeah... Thanks... Uh?

Would you care to try a brand new dish I created earlier today?

I think you'll really like it.

Huh? Are you sure? I would love to try it!

It's fried peanut‐butter squid tentacles.

Huh?

Mayu!

He's not doing this again!

He may be taking it too far this time!

Why don't you take a little bite?

It's so putrid, you're gonna freak.

No...

Ah! Mmmf.

Ah!

NO! PLEASE!

"The squid and the peanut butter combination is so offensive

in so many ways, it's as if my entire body is being violated."

The young lady gave a very... detailed account.

The art of cooking is indeed a vast and stupefying spectrum...

A wasteland dotted with endless examples

of the "delectable" and the "repulsive."

And that is where I want to be.

Walking the reaches of the food universe.

Walk it on your own, you stupid nitwit!

You just hang in there, Mayu, you're going to be okay.

Peanut butter squid... the absolute horror!

He takes strange pride in people eating even his worst dishes.

If it weren't for him pulling crap like that,

he would be a pretty awesome chef...

Nice try, but I've made worse.

Remember that dried sardine concoction with the pureed strawberry jam?

How could I forget?

That one should have been banned.

I know, right?

But my peanut butter squid is way more gross!

Please! Sardines‐and‐jam!

Peanut butter squid is so much worse!

Yep. He is definitely his father's son.

Not as bad as mine. Mine was worse!

Okay, here's your liver and onions!

Can I get a meat‐and‐tofu plate, please?

Say, uh... And I'd like to have the daily special.

Right, you got it!

One meat‐and‐tofu! One daily!

Comin' right up.

Man, I'm stuffed! That was incredible!

Really great, guys. Thanks alot!

See ya next time!

Soma.

When you're done with that,

could you put out the charcoal?

Huh?

I could've done better today.

I should've given that rice another three flips.

Well, the year will be over soon and I'll be able to devote more time

to perfecting my techniques.

I gotta pass up the old man as soon as possible.

Then, I will be the one carrying the restaurant!

Oh! Wel‐

Pardon us for the intrusion.

It would appear you're preparing to close for the night.

I hope you don't mind the late hour.

My apologies.

Hello, good to see you again...

You remember me?

Can I get you something?

Today's specials are the Kinmedai sashimi plate and then a...

Oh, no thanks, the reason I'm here today...

...is to further explain the plan that we discussed.

I would be happy to go over it again with you if you like.

We would love to follow the Garden Residence concept

and bring to the area a "comfortable and luxurious" high‐rise to this‐ Oh!

Yeah... I know.

You want to drive us out of here, correct?

Trust me. I've heard it all before, lady.

Go on home. We have no intention of closing up shop.

So you've said.

I'll leave you my card.

In case you change your mind.

I know things aren't easy.

I mean small businesses are having it harder and harder these days.

It's pretty rough out there.

I've heard a lot of folks are having trouble

just getting by each day.

Yeah, well, that's not the case with this place.

Oh, is that so?

Here at Yukihira,

we do whatever it takes

to give the customer what they want.

It sounds like you are just the picture‐perfect little restaurant, aren't you?

However, what if you

COULDN'T give your customers what they want?

How exactly would you handle a situation like that?

If that were to happen...

We would gracefully shut our doors...

and go out of business for all eternity.

Can I take your word on that?

Yep.

Very well.

I'll be back.

Dad! Scatter some salt! Unsully this place!

Nah. That'd be a waste. Don't worry about it.

Hey, what are you doing later?

Wanna do some karaoke?

Yeah. What're you gonna sing?

Anime songs, duh.

Mayu! C'mon!

Oh! Don't you know anything else.

Like, some glam rock, maybe?

Hm?

Hey, Dad. What's up?

You back already?

No, I was buying some stuff for breakfast. Why?

I need to go on a little errand today.

Huh? Oh yeah?

I won't be back till tomorrow, so don't bother opening up the shop.

Okay...

Son... Huh?

What are your plans after this school year?

Uh...

What else? Practice cooking with you at the shop.

I see.

That was weird.

Wait a minute...

What "errand" could make my dad close the shop?

I can't imagine what it would be.

I guess when it comes down to it,

I don't really know all that much about my Dad's life outside the kitchen.

Or his past for that matter.

Ah!

The meat!

It's all ruined!

And everything in the fridge...

Did we get robbed?

No, it doesn't look like it.

AH!

Oh, you poor thing.

But you know, it does look much nicer out here than it did yesterday.

Perhaps it's because that eyesore of a sign has been covered up.

Ah, I'm in the mood to indulge in a big thick juicy steak...

I always like to have one while in Roppongi.
