Don't believe in Kurokiba. Believe in Alice who believes in Kurokiba.

I think Kurokiba is gonna get owned unfortunately. The judges will say (paraphrased) "Your dish is a good dish but the opponent's dish is even more good" and then Kurokiba will turn around, look the audience in the eye, and violently slit his own throat with one of his knives. Alice will then inherit his knives, techniques, and headscarf and defeat dumb-face-tattoo guy in a future rematch. After defeating him, a translucent image of a smiling Kurokiba will appear in the sky and Alice and the other characters will cry with happiness now that Kurokiba has been avenged. Seriously tho I really hope Kurokiba wins because this is kind of being set up as his loss; usually the character whose meal is talked up a bunch first is the one who ends up losing, though this comic has defied that pattern a few times. Part of me is wondering where all these non-Elite 10 central guys came from. While it makes sense for there to be other really good (or at least better than the "elite" freshmen) cooks in the 2nd and 3rd years, I'm pretty sure they explicitly stated at some point that this freshman class was shaping up to be significantly better than previous classes. Like, it seems funny for these characters to be like "heh you're a loser who sucks at cooking" when people like Kurokiba are probably better than all non-Elite 10 2nd and 3rd years were when they were freshman. While this doesn't mean that the best non-Elite 10 2nd/3rd years won't still be better than the protagonist and his posse, it is kind of strange that apparently there aren't any other non-evil good cooks in the 2nd and 3rd years (other than Isshiki, Szechuan elite 10 guy, and the other non-Central elite 10 guy). I guess my point is that it is kind of bizarre that literally every good 2nd and 3rd year other than the 3 people I mentioned is an active follower of Central/Azami. Even in the worst case scenario that almost all good 2nd and 3rd year cooks are also assholes, it seems like the power balance would be upset as the current freshman class grows up (since it seems like every single talented freshman cook at the very least isn't pro-Central).

This chapter doubled down so hard on the loss flags I'm starting to think it's all a trick and Kurokiba may actually win. He won't, though.

I spent most of the chapter thinking it was building for him to lose until it ended with tattoo man pulling out his secret weapon and smugly proclaiming his superiority and victory. Which is pretty telling on who's got the narrative advantage right now.

I had a bit of faith, but after Alice basically said "I don't care about our society", I think he's going down.

I bet he loses but it'll be a 2-1 score, compared to the rest of the societies who lost 3-0.

If it's following typical presentation tropes, Kurokiba will win because he's presenting second. Otoh, we've seen this manga ignore that pattern and give the victory to the first presenter

That is one of the tastiest meals I've seen in the series so far, but I'm biased since I really love salmon.

I'm really happy Kurokiba's getting a match because Seafood is delicious and i'm really looking forward to seeing more seafood dishes. Also, Kurokiba's got this in the bag. He's got experience against people who use cutting edge food technology, and Alice is clearly way smarter than this guy.

I dunno if I'm just being a snob 'cause I'm used to the sous vide scene, but the characters oozing over tattoo-face guy's use of fancy appliances is just...

If you don't love overdramatic posturing about simple techniques and skills then there's something wrong with you imo. It's an integral part of sports shonen, and of this manga as well! And I for one would hate to be rid of it.  Edit: BlitzBlast posted:I'm still waiting for someone to dramatically announce they used salt and pepper. Soma's use of tomato sauce was pretty close to that.

The average person has never heard of a sous vide and some of the cool new kitchen appliances so it makes sense for them to hype it up. My mom bought a new oven a while ago and I had to explain the whole concept of a convection oven to her.

I'm sad there's not one where the bad guy is delivering his monologue with one card in his hand and interrupted by the protagonist looking smug and saying "Uno"
