1. same thing dealing with (nakiri family: mother , half brother) (again) and souma going to save erina (again).
2. villain out of nowhere that is too op and annoying and able to defeat (jouichiro 5-0 (should be the final boss (obstacle) that souma have to face , and also defeated both 3 - 0 eishi and megumi without analyzing or describe the dishes just straight up results)
3. after all of the building in erina's character development went waste why? just because the villain change her mood!? what is the point of building character development? (took takumis' dish and threw it in the TRASHCAN ,didn't TRUST souma and want souma to LOSE against the villain in the blue tournament)
4. the villain made proper advances towards Erina and wants to marry her and actually put his hands on her before. Soma hasn't even come close to doing the same (the villain keep flirting with erina and has more moments with erina (he carried her while she was unconscious, spending time with her in the office having some tea bring her roses bouquet , kidnapped her)
5. the villain kidnapped erina and let her go later and she didn't took any action like sue him or put him under arrest for what he did !?
6. the villain has one of superpower BS (the ability to gain the chef's skill when he takes their main chef tool, an example is if he takes saibas knife he gains all his years of experience as a chef and adds it to his skill).
7. the villain makes soma look like a TRASH in the TRASHCAN in the first challenge.
8. what erina did something useful in the blue arc? NOTHING
9. the power of the rice was too strong that able to defeat the OP villian and when erina ate the rice, half of the kitchen was destroyed (foodgasm)
10. yuki morosaki was not involved in the blue arc (Morisaki is the brains of all the recipes used in the series. The series officially lists her as a "collaborator").
11. removed 70% of cooking from the manga (entire cooking sequences skipped meaning showing only results)
12. evil dark chefs mafia and clowns and cooking with some kind of a weapon (making whipped cream with CHAINSAW and baking with DYNAMITE and more)
13. foodgasm and the art style (manga) was no longer interesting in the blue arc
14. the usage of the characters are not that emphasize so much compared to previous arcs.
the story just revolves on the protag and the antag.
15. Erina's mother finally who's the judge in BLUE. She's even colder than Azami towards Erina and she doesn't accept her food (dealing with nakiri family again and also with her tongue issue again)
the LAST 3 chapters of ( le dessert ):
16. erina who just woke up from her nightmare WON the blue tournament without any efforts.(showing only results )!!!? so who is the protagonist again of this series souma or erina??? soma travelled when he lost to erina in the blue tournament because of his mood
17. in (CH 315.2) the author be like: i can fix that, all of sudden it turns out that the annoying villain which is out of nowhere is actually half brother of erina (the one who WANTS TO MARRY ERINA (HIS SISTER) ) !!?
18. the annoying villain (asahi: half brother) became part of nakiri family (CANON) with more screen time and better ending than souma,while souma still friendzoned
19. in the final chapter the author decided to make some progress (souma x erina) in the epilogue !? which u didn't have time to make progress when u r at the final stage (epilogue) instead of ending up together like FMAB,Bleach ... , they skipped (9 YEARS) and showing us in ambiguous way that they (begin) to realize their feeling using (inner monologue instead of speaking) !?
20. not even showing souma's new skills after what he learned from travelling or the dish that he's about to serve in the end instead we got disgusting food like really what the point of travelling.
21. open ended cliffhanger without a proper closure, both in terms of cooking and romantic
relationship. (The End)
(ch 315.2) we only got little backstory about souma's mother. the only interesting thing in (le dessert) was the backstory of souma's mother .
with all nakiri family members including asahi sit down together and enjoy their meal, Happily ever after.
(blue arc and le dessert): was all about erinas mother,father,half brother and grandfather
(Shokugeki no Erina)
missing objectives:
1. i will make you say delicious? never said delicious (infront) of souma like she admitted
2. i will run the restaurant after the graduation?keep travelling instead of running his restaurant
3. taste of love (CH 52.5)? she still didn't taste it
4. i will surpass my father? author: but through asahi of course
so any good thing about next season? well imo the only good part was :
when souma said: she's mine (erina)
the scene in the balcony at night (shipping moment souma x erina but not that romantic)
finally souma's mother backstory which was the best of all
in the interview:
1. he added the villain to make some progress between (souma x erina) what progress ?? more like character regression . in the previous arcs he already made some progress between them without adding third party (villain).
2. he said “Soma has all these cute girls around him, and all he cares about is cooking—why can’t he act more like Asahi?” is Tsukuda seriously trying to justify Asahi's existence as something that Soma should be??
so what is souma's role again ?
ah yes to save erina again
