10 Second Anime - Shokugeki no Soma S4 - Episode 5


Megumi and Momo face the judges' decision in their apple-themed bout. Takumi seeks revenge against Eizan.

Episode 5 - "You're Through"

Hmm.

I still think Shokugeki should have kept going with the table tennis theme, but at least Megumi did something with her dish that could be called a surprise uppercut. The split decision the judges gave was more fitting with a boxing match too. Oh well, inconsistent story line, you're through! Even though Megumi lost, she won against Momo's heart, because she can't call her cute any more. A moral victory is still a bitter pill for Megumi to swallow, when she had tried so hard for the benefit of her friends. It's up to Takumi and Souma to make it through their bouts now.

Speaking of Takumi, his bout was delicious revenge served up cold and sweet. He took all of the nasty tricks that Eizan is known for, plus Mimasaka's tracing, to beat Eizan at his own game. This is a competition with food to be served for judges, so it's quite acceptable to target those people to the detriment of your opponent. Takumi just did it all better than Eizan did, cleverly manipulating him into make the dish he wanted for his own three course meal. Sweet, sweet revenge! Plus, we got so many Eizan rage faces out of this match, which is one of my most favorite things in this whole Shokugeki story. Takumi, you're through... to the next round. Nice play on context for the episode title.

Heh.

Megumi added apple jam with ginger in it for extra punch. But did the punch land a good enough hit? Not good enough. Megumi lost, 2 - 1. Anne gave her the vote.

Momo respects Megumi now. She's not cute. Not cute at all! Megumi put on a brave face, but she still wanted to win so bad.


Next up, Takumi vs Eizan using beef. Thank God we have something for Ikumi to talk about. Oh, her scene is over. Takumi gets Eizan by doing his own kind of manipulative trace. He made Eizan's dish the first course of his three course meal! Damn you, artichokes!

We finally got a good bunch of old-fashioned foodgasms too. Anne is much bigger than her modest dress shows.

That's the stuff. People just melting and going crazy over food. I think Shokugeki blew their animation budget and schedule on this one episode. I'm prepared for the return of the picture drama slide show starting next week.


Takumi's special pizza inspired so many Eizan rage faces. I love it! Takumi used Mimasaka's trace, which called back to how he lost his mezzaluna blade to him under Eizan's orders. And then he manipulated Eizan and the judges to treat both of their dishes as an Italian three course meal. Eizan got so played! And then he got so mad!

Erina was happy to get one win on the board with Takumi. Next time, Souma finishes up the round against Soumei.
