P3
Eizan: Who has a long face?
Eizan: Isshiki……
Star: It seems there's some turbulence…!?
Cutlery: The TV Anime "Shokugeki no Soma" will air on April!! Stay alert for news on it!!
Eizan: The hall is roaring with excitement…You could say this year's election ended being a great success.
Eizan: Is there anything else to ask as one of the organizers?
Satoshi: But…The scenario you wanted to create
Satoshi: Was pretty different, wasn't it?
Eizan: ……………Hmph

P4
Eizan: I don't understand what you want to say…Isshiki.
Souma: This is…
Voice: An earthenware pot…?
Souma: The end!

P5
Leonora: Ohoph…?
Leonora: Fwaaaah…(music note)
Gin: Fufu…This is…
Gin: Something I can't get enough of…!
Thought: A fragrant destructiveness
Thought: That makes all those whose diet consists mainly of rice smile reflexively!!
Yuuki: Wah……!

P6
Voice: It's takikomi gohan---!! //Rice seasoned cooked with various ingredients
Voice: Gyaaah!!
Voice: Damn it…! That looks incredibly good!
Souma: Ok, ok…It will be ready soon,
Souma: So wait for a bit more.

P7
Voice: …!
Leonora: Geez…! Yukihira-kun, you are a tease!
Leonora: Hurry…Hurry!
Ooizumi(thinks): The other two also prepared things to raise the expectations towards their dishes…
Ooizumi(thinks): Yukihira Souma did the same.
Ooizumi(thinks): He's aware he must create expectation on the customers!!
Thought: However, the difference in their judging skills is evident…! It's obvious he won't win easily!
Thought: Just what is the identity of that mysterious pacific saury…!?
Leonora: It's here (music note) It's finally here!

P8
Voice: Now!! It's time for the tasting!

P9
Leonora: Huuuuuuuff…!!
Gin: The pacific saury's blessings brought out by autumn
Gin: Are permeating…Throughout my body!

P10
Ryou/Akira: !!
Gin: What a tender flavor…!
Gin: The pacific saury-
Leonora: The pacific saury was cooked together with the rice after grilling it once on the shichirin, that kind of detailed work is what makes the rice become so fragrant.
Leonora: And the pacific saury is marvelous on itself!
Leonora: The deep taste among the saltiness and soft smell and flavor spread inside my mouth with every bite!
Leonora: The quality of this dish is not at all inferior to that of the previous two!!
Ryou(thinks): What…!?
Ryou(thinks): Damn it…! What's that dull sword…?
Ryou(thinks): Just what is it…!?

P11
Ryou: Rice bran…!?
Megumi: Nuka sanma! //Pacific saury pickled in rice bran
Ikumi: Nuka…Sanma?
Megumi: Yes! I've heard the fishermen talk about it.
Megumi: I think…It's an ingredient used mostly on Hokkaido!
Gin(thinks): Nuka sanma…It's a popular traditional dish made since ancient times mostly in Kushiro, Akkeshi, and Nemuro.
Gin(thinks): It serves to bring out the ingredient's flavor, remove the bad smell, and increase the nutritional value!
Gin(thinks): It's said some of the local fishermen groups consider it to be the most delicious way of eating Pacific saury…!

P12
Souma: It was an all or nothing battle against time…!
Souma: I bought as many of the best pacific sauries I could find,
Souma: And kept curing them…While testing new dishes.
Souma: Naturally, I did all this while improving curing methods other than nukazuke by trial and error. //nukazuke = pickling in rice bran
Arrows: Curing
Pointy bubbles: Complete!
Souma: I couldn't really get to the point where the flavor was equal to that of the best seasonal fish,
Souma: But just before the math…I finally could get a curing degree I was satisfied with and that's this one!
Souma: Fumio-san's words and the nukazuke she had in the dorm.
Souma: The know-how of curing I learned from everyone! The ABC of pickling in salt and removing moisture! All of it-

P13
Souma: Led to the idea I got that day…!
Thought: Nuka sanma…He's saying he got to that curing method by himself!?
Thought: The sword we thought to be blunt turned out to be an excellent one……!
Thought: Like a swordsmith forging iron to create a sword
Thought: He brought up this "Autumn Blade" by himself!!
Megumi: You did it!! Souma-kun!
Ryouko: That should get a great reception---
Ryouko's sd: Ah

P14
Voice: The director…
Voice: Didn't strip!!
Voice: Chef Doujima and Madame Leonora have already put their chopsticks down!
Voice: Which means…
Ryou's sd: *smirk*
Akira's sd: Hmph…
Ooizumi: Ngh…!
Ooizumi(thinks): It took you too much time to bridge the gap between your judging skills, Yukihira boy!
Ooizumi(thinks): Certainly, on terms of the idea for the dish you did…Not get to the same point those two did!

P15
Voice: A…As I thought, he didn't have a chance against those two.
Voice: Just as expected! The fight for the first place is between Kurokiba and Hayama!
Souma: ……I want you to eat seconds,
Souma: But is there anyone who wants more?
All: …………
Yuuki: Ugh…! None of them want to eat it!
Guy: Damn it, i…it's over!!
Gin: ……The judging
Gin: Is over…Huh.

P16
Satoshi: You're the one who made Souma-kun face Mimasaka Subaru, right?
Satoshi: I mean, you're the only one who can fiddle with the pairings for the matches.
Satoshi: The rivalry between Souma-kun and Takumi-kun…If you could make use of it
Satoshi: You could make Souma-kun accept the challenge, or so you thought.
Satoshi: Losing in front of such a huge audience while being unable to avenge your friend…There's no worse humiliation than that!
Satoshi: Moreover, you prepared all this without dirtying your hands on the slightest…
Satoshi: That is very like you, Eizan-kun.
Gin: As of this moment, the judging…
Gin: Is ove---

P17
Souma: If you had asked for seconds
Souma: I would have let you eat it after pouring this on it.
Senzaemon: Hmm!!?
All: ……?
Souma: My pacific saury dish isn't complete yet.

P18
Satoshi: But your scheme went off.
Satoshi: I guess you tried to get him through your plans…
Satoshi: But wasn't the one who got swallowed up by Souma-kun
Satoshi: None other than you?
Eizan: What did you say…!?
Satoshi: From this point
Satoshi: His dish's true dreadfulness will show.

P19
Souma: I'll show you…
Cutlery: The hidden possibilities of Souma's pacific saury dish…!! Will he be able to make a comeback…!!?
Souma: The true sharpness of this sword.
