Yo, real talk, this timeskip has not looked good on Souma lmfao.
Megumi's unexpected and frankly astonishing character development from shy little port town girl to confident globetrotter who drops the "who's your mommy?" on cooking mafia mfers automatically served as Souma hype by train of logic since Megumi's like, a beast on her own right now, and she's only the tenth fucking seat. We saw the tenth seat reduce a megalomaniac to tears by going all Freud up in this shit. We saw this girl serve up his regional cuisine by analysing the inflection of his accent. The Megumi hype was real as hell with the mini arc, even if the noir storyline was dumb af. And our first seat?
4 months of Elite ten privileges and this boy legit served up a CUTLET. A goddamn cutlet. Put some garlic in some cheese and called it a day y'all. This just makes me madder on my boy Takumi's behalf-- if this kinda clowning gets you the first seat, why's he only 7th? Lmao, I was one of the people who thought the new elite ten rankings could not be more perfect, but Souma's absolute joke of a loss is making me re-think all this for real. He's out here literally in a trashcan? We shokugeki no asahi now, boys.
Rindou, Eishi, I'm so sorry lmfao. Y'all did not deserve the rdc loss disrespect, f.
