The wildly popular anime "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" ended its run in Weekly Shonen Jump to great acclaim. The fifth season of the anime, "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma: Gou no Sara," is currently airing to rave reviews. The story has progressed significantly in Season 5, with several key characters making their appearance. The protagonist, Yukihira Soma, has also become a top figure at the school, and the story is only getting more exciting. In this article, we'll be revealing spoilers for Season 5 of the anime. Let's take a look at what kind of story will be depicted in Season 5.
Spoiler for Season 5 #1 ☆ Yukihira Soma becomes the number one of the elite ten!
Season 5 of the anime begins with protagonist Soma Yukihira becoming the No. 1 of the Elite Ten, and heroine Erina Nakiri becoming the school's leader. Incidentally, the first episode of the anime has already aired, but the story has been significantly altered from the original. This is likely to be to conclude the entire story in Season 5, but because it's a new story, even those who have read the original "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" may have enjoyed it. Incidentally, the opening of the anime shows Erina Nakiri wearing a wedding dress. However, what's intriguing is that the other person isn't Soma. We don't know who the other person is, but what will happen next?
Anime Season 5 Spoiler #2 ☆ Beach House Management!? Aiming for 3 Million Yen in Sales in 3 Days!
The exam for the second-year students at Totsuki Academy, one of the instrument classes, required them to "manage a beach house" and "achieve 3 Million Yen in sales in 3 days." It was quite a tough test, with groups of 10 second-year students having to manage a beach house and achieve sales. However, Totsuki Academy's students, as expected, completed the exam. And as the school's leader, Erina Nakiri, also had to patrol various exams. While Erina was away, instructor Asahi Suzuki was tasked with supervising the sea exam.
Anime Season 5 Spoiler #3 ☆ Instructor Asahi Suzuki Appears! Something seems fishy...
The instructor introduced here is Suzuki Asahi. He made a brief appearance in the epilogue of episode 12 of season 4. He seems a bit shady, but this character will play a major role in the story later on. We'll find out eventually, but roughly speaking, he's the final boss of season 5 of the anime. That said, there have been significant changes between the original manga and the anime, so it's unclear what will happen... Moreover, this character seems like a refreshing, good-natured young man at first glance (although he does seem a bit shady), but for some reason, he's cold towards Soma. The reason for this will become clear later.
Season 5 Spoiler #4☆The Totsuki Academy Elite Ten Exams Are Tough!
Naturally, Soma and the other second-year students of Totsuki Academy's Elite Ten also have to take the exam. However, as they are in the Elite Ten, the conditions are much stricter than those for the other students. While the other students are in teams of 10, the Elite Ten are in teams of 6. Also, while the beach hut used by the other students was in good condition to start, the one used by the Elite Ten was in pretty dilapidated condition, so they had to start by repairing it. However, it seems that these strict conditions are imposed on the Elite Ten every year. Naturally, the opinions of the Top Ten are divided. Their teamwork is quite poor, and it's hard to imagine they'll pass the exams like this.
Anime Season 5 Spoiler #5 ☆ Final Day of the Exams! What will happen to the Top Ten...?
And finally, the third and final day of the exams arrives. Soma and his team finally complete the beach house on the third day. It's quite difficult to achieve sales in just one day, but the Top Ten are truly impressive. With impressive division of labor, they managed to achieve sales of 3 million yen with just one dish of yakisoba. Realistically, it seems quite a stretch, but that's what you'd expect from the Top Ten. Thanks to Tadokoro's excellent customer service, it seems like a large crowd gathered.
Anime Season 5 Spoiler #6 ☆ BLUE is here!
Soma and his friends receive news that Chef Dojima will be hosting the BLUE competition. BLUE is one of the world's largest culinary competitions. Moreover, since it's the same competition that Soma's father, Joichiro, withdrew from due to pressure, it's a competition Soma is eager to participate in. And, unlike the original work, there will be a preliminary battle for a spot in BLUE. Even those who have read the original work will enjoy it. The result was a surprising one: Megumi Tadokoro took first place! It was quite surprising to see her take first place, beating out Soma and Takumi, but it was a moment that really showed how much Tadokoro has grown.
Season 5 Spoiler #7☆ Soma and Suzuki's battle for Erina begins!?
It turns out that Suzuki Asahi is after Erina. He's planning to make her his wife... Naturally, Soma resists. He does so because he needs Erina's divine tongue, but it's not clear whether he actually has feelings for her. In any case, a battle for Erina has broken out, and Erina seems quite confused.
Season 5 Spoiler Summary!
The above is a spoiler summary for "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma: The Fifth Plate." Unfortunately, only episodes 1 and 2 have aired so far. Due to the impact of the coronavirus, episodes 3 and beyond have been postponed. While this is unfortunate, this is the situation for most anime this season, and it's unclear when they will air. Because the plot differs significantly from the original, we can't wait to see what happens next. While we have no idea when the next episode will air, we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for Soma and his friends' battles from episode 3 onward.
