so what ive learned so far its that your series peaks when you defeat the main villain voiced by Sho Hayami, after that it starts to struggle and then it ends

 

[harryno5]

@Hollow7F Except for this manga it peaked the episode before the Villain voiced by him was introduced, his introduction was the start of the manga's struggle. It was doing so well before that with the introduction of the Elite 10 and Souma's challenge with the 8th seat during the festival.

300+ chapters and we didn't even manage some lewd hand holding.

 

[DarkFlame]

for a ending this wasn't much...

Le Dessert was better than the entirety of the Blue arc.

Was it anticlimatic?

Yes, absolutely.

But it could have been the Blue arc.

I don't get how this series tanked so badly, it was such a simple but fun series about crazy cooking scenarios and goofy interaction, why did it bother to go so off the rails.

I'm just...baffled. This is one of the worst endings I've ever seen. No resolution to anything AT ALL.

Souma never beat his father and Souma never got Erina to say his food is delicious. Two things that had been his goal since the very start of the manga. What was the point of this whole manga when there was no resolution to these core plot points? Imagine if Edward and Alphonse had just given up on restoring their bodies and resolving to live with their bodies the way they were when the core plot of the whole manga was them trying to find a way to restore their bodies and doing so with never-ending optimism and resilience. It'd have been as shit as this ending.

Asahi, a damn criminal, got a happy ending. Even worse, we got far too many pages dedicated to him and his happy ending. Was this Shokugeki no Souma or Shokugeki no Asahi? I don't even know anymore.

Not only that, but all that romantic build-up and tension between Erina and Souma and that love triangle drama, the ENTIRE LAST ARC of the main manga just to push Souma and Erina together, only for it to be an open ending in the 3 extra chapters despite them clearly being in love with each other? Tsukuda is the absolute worst.

The only one who got hitched was Hayama from the looks of it. It never says who he's married to, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Jun even though that would be weird and awkward as fuck considering the mother/son older sister/younger brother relationship they've been portrayed having (on Jun's end at least). Then there's the whole 16 year age gap thing to worry about. I cringe at the thought.

If Tsukuda ever gets to do another manga (I hope not) then I certainly won't be reading it. Don't care about his announcement either. Just...garbage ending.

 

[Baylord]

hated that ending

 

[bosbarret]

This ending seems better to me than a marriage

Disappointed.

It wasnt horrible i guess but like why? Why not just show us? Why the need to not just make it be Erina and Souma and have her say its delicious, have them close the deal and make it a good ending? Why not just give the readers a little satisfaction after that shit last arc?

I truly am just really disappointed sure say thats whats heavily implied will happen soon maybe even right there but why not show us after having us wait for so long and leave it as a mystery? Whats so wrong about ending their relationship in a done deal instead of this bullshit "dont worry guys they definitely love each other wink, wink no reason to show just look at how i make this awesome cocktease that has apparently been going on between them for 7 years".

Fucking stupid ending not the worst cuz at the very least they kind of love each other even if we never got to see it but still what a way to waste this extra 3 chapters and piss on the readers faces.

 

[Frozeneye]

Well, I dropped Food Wars around the time the Central Arc ended, read the first few chapters of that Chef Noir stuff and was like; this is going from bad to even worse and dropped it then and there.
Now I came back to see if it got better at some point and read this.
I feel perceptive for dropping it at the right time.

No wedding? Smh

 

[Soumyakoner1997]

Never understood the ending of this great manga. Could have been a fantastic ending
