Yo, ok, let's step back and talk about Shokugeki.
So, due to impressions of the characters throughout the series, before going into the Autumn election I figured I could generally peg who would advance.
Now, aside from Souma and Hayama I have no fucking clue, literally everyone feels formidable in their own way, even Marui. I just have the idea of Ryo, the ferocious guy with the flame headband, going ham against with his dish only to be overcome by Marui, like a hare and the tortoise kinda thing if that makes sense.
Seriously, this show is so freaking good.
