Honesty, I like the fact that Tsukasa and Souma are working in the same team this time but this is getting more and more ridiculous. First of all, isn't Blue supposed to be under 30? What's with those oldass-looking Noirs. And juggling? A chainsaw? This author just keeps coming up with ridiculous and outlandish ways of cooking that couldn't possibly be real. I liked this manga because it was a different kind of shonen about a different kind of battlefield that could still offer the same fun and tension. But in trying to push the story beyond what it should've been it's dwindling point (Souma becoming first seat), the authors is destroying this. It wouldn't make sense for Souma to win BLUE. He still can't even win against Tsukasa, and yet if he doesn't win he can't inherit Yukihira? He's put such high stakes on this that we all pretty much already know how it's gonna end, even if it's absolutely unrealistic. I wished the author had just concentrated in the Souma vs Erina point (which we've all been waiting for) and ditched all this overblown nonsense (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
All S&M Yaoi should be like this
It is actually a very good example. The seme is a sadist and the uke is a self-proclaimed masochist, but unlike most relationships of this type (specially yaoi) there is no abuse or humiliation that borders in the unhealthy. They both have specific sexual needs and they managed to find someone that can satisfy those needs without hurting or degrading them. S&M can have a lot of levels and is usually pumped up to the max in every story, where it pretty much becomes abuse. I'm just glad to see another side of it that can tackle the proclivities while still being fairly fluffy.
Actually it's the very definition of S&M. Anyone that thinks that s&m is like Fifty Shades of Grey or the nonsense portrayed in movies and on tv has no business trying it out. There are specific rules and guidelines that you follow and s&m isn't always causing physical pain or humiliating someone or making them completely submissive. Instead it's a variety of things that fall under there. In this case one of the two enjoys being mildly verbally degraded and having his control taken away while the other gets off on bullying his partner. That type of s&m is brat and brat tamer.
This is crap! I just... I just don't know how I feel about it, but this is crap. I don't understand the author. If nothing was ever going to happen why go out of way and create the arc at all? We would've been better with the two of them having an open end, what's the point in making the declaration if it changes nothing? So now what? Kiki goes and marries this Hisame dude and never goes back to guarding Zen? Or even worse, she doesn't marry, goes back to being a guard and stagnates forever as Mitsuhide's "buddy"? I would've been fine with a "not for now" answer, I actually thought Chapter 92 incredibly tender and the awkward way he rejected her when it was obvious he was trying so hard not to hurt her. But then this chapter completely killed that fuzz because now the solidity of his rejection is like a rock that I don't see how it possibly helps the story.
Can there be a tie in this? That would be a nice plot-twist. And we would get Isshiki /Rindou and Souma-Erina/Tsukasa for round 4... I would like that more than Souma/Tsukasa and Erina/Rindou. It would make it more believable for Souma to win against Tsukasa if he has the God's tongue help. Also, it will be interesting to see a Souma-Erina collaboration since their cooking styles are so incredibly different.
This two are the ultimate baka-couple. Even their problems have to do with wanting to be more lovey-dovey than they already are. (⌒▽⌒)
