I went out of my way to find a Japanese source on Archive.org that had this chapter to spoil it for myself, and I'm still disappointed. What an absolute garbage result this was. Frankly, the only thing that makes it even slightly tolerable is that it was a tie rather than a complete loss, but...

Dude, where have you been? We found out what happened to her at towards the end of the original manga; her fate has been common knowledge in the fandom for decades. And I don't just mean speculation, I mean explicit common knowledge.

Totally valid, but the thing is, I still remember a time when they were likeable, so it's hard for me to hate them. When I see them as they are now, the only anger I feel is to the story and the writer that wrecked them. With President Dan, there isn't that buffer; he's introduced as an...

Please don't tell me we have to sit through six more of these Australia contests, I am literally begging you. I need a break from Kaibara Yuzan, and I need it now. Oh, and President Dan has now officially become my least favorite character in this manga. Compared to the Tozai staff, who by and...

Do we know that that's the format he plans to use? I just figured this was a tease to get the fans excited for the full serialization this winter.

I think this was always meant to be a short serialization. Just a teaser for the full Heaven Chapter that's apparently coming this winter.

...it's chapters like this that make me hate this manga sometimes. And it's not about Kaibara weasel-wording his way into a rematch to avoid losing face and managing to turn a straight loss into a draw, because Yamaoka's done the same thing, or had others do it in his behalf. (Granted, I still...

Take your time! Especially because I found the concluding chapter on one of the volumes saved on Archive.org. And while I can't read Japanese, I have a fairly good idea where this match is heading. Not 100% sure, obviously, but if the translation confirms what I think is happening, then I am...

Probably going to accuse them of colluding with Tokuichi and either stealing the tofu methods from him or sharing the tofu methods with him, purely in order to show him up. As if Yamaoka and the Ultimate Menu team are incapable of coming up with good ideas on their own. :cautious:

I think the problem is twofold. First, unlike basically every other character, Kaibara has gotten more developed as the series has gone on, not less. While everyone else has been Flanderized, Kaibara has had his rougher edges sanded down and has gotten increased development, which is frustrating...

Money really, really isn't everything. And as for being humble, Dan really doesn't have as much of that as you seem to think. He kept the Ultimate vs. Supreme challenges going purely because he wanted an opportunity to romance Kurita, and in the Salmon Showdown he used Yamaoka's mistake with the...

Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to have the patience to suffer through another 80 volumes of this. Kaibara was not playing fair here, and it just feels so obnoxious. You put in their heads that they need to find a hotpot that everyone will love and accept, and then you pull the rug out from...

Everyone's already ragging on Kaibara and the manga's constant shitting on the Ultimate Menu team, so I'm going to take this time and shit on President Dan instead. This asshole shouldn't even be a judge here! He has a vested interest in the Ultimate Menu losing so that he can get his date with...

God they're telegraphing this so obviously that it's ridiculous. They're going to present their thing, Kaibara's going to make fun of them and present his superior thing, which is going to take advantage of the hidden nuance in Hechikan's service that Kyogoku was trying to tell them here, it's...

Glad to know I'm not alone! And yeah, it is a serious issue, especially when the goal of any series should be to get us to care about its characters. Flanderization is an absolute curse, and this series has been majorly impacted by it. And I'm right there with you on the Salmon Showdown, but I...

God, I actually feel like screaming reading this chapter. It is literally the epitome of everything frustrating and draining about this stage of Oishinbo's development. Remember when Kaibara Yuzan wasn't being treated like an absolute god, when he was actually allowed to lose? When his arrogance...
