Shokugeki no soma manga 259
The determination of Erina was the real highlight of this chapter and how the whole shokugeki aspect from Soma was used a driving force was just done brilliantly. Overall, this chapter gets an amazing rating. From there, Erina gets a retrospective on how everyone has viewed her up until now as she rages on in making her new dish and presenting it to her father to eat all of it bringing an end to the chapter itself. Azami on the other hand, doesn’t not believe she can create a dish so successful after what Soma presented before him. That is something her grandfather thinks to himself regarding her speciality with how a speciality that surpasses deliciousness a dish that can only awaken Erina’s true self in reflection. Soma with much determination just grins getting to work on her command with the dish, and all the students present are amazed by Erina’s cooking style with how different it is in comparison to before. With only very little time remaining on the clock She asks Soma for assistance knowing how she was the one that had helped with his own in many ways a couple chapters ago. That’s when she explains that it’s thanks to him that her preparations have changed in which Erina needs to create a completely new dish altogether. Erina gives a brief pause calling Soma a fool, and immediately goes over all the ingredients once more leaving him confused at first. At the same time, Erina in a lot of ways is also surprised about the whole thing to, but Soma has an explanation that they can’t just work together because of the amount of arguing (which was amusing) they were both having during the red and white battles on the moonshadow. Then, the chapter continues off from where we left off previously when Soma declared the Shokugeki to Erina, and immediately everyone present is just absolutely taken aback to the entire thing. First off I got to say Erina as a child in the flashback scene on page one was adorable especially seeing her reaction to hearing her grandfather say she still needs work which does leave her with some disappointment to an extent.
