Plot Summary[]
Set after Sōma Yukihira's loss to Eishi Tsukasa, and the revelation about Sōma's father, Eishi announces that the Promotion Exams will be coming up. Eishi says that those who follow Central will not be expelled, whilst those who do will. Hearing this the Polar Star Dormitory frantically pens letters home, knowing they will be expelled for opposing Central. At a crossroad to decide who to follow- Central or the Rebels, Erina Nakiri tells Sōma how she met his father. When she was young, one of her clients had cancelled a tasting, so Erina was lonely. Suddenly, she saw her grandfather, Senzaemon Nakiri, being served by a man, Jōichirō Saiba. As she was hungry, Jōichirō made a dish for Erina, and after tasting it, she thought "it was fun". However, six months from that day, her father, Azami Nakiri, started his "training". After hearing this, Sōma made an Chicken Egg Tempura Don, hoping to make her join the Rebels side. Despite using eggs that were cheap and low-quality, Erina realized that cooking was what she always wanted to do, and promptly finished the dish. The next day, she announced to all the Rebels that she would be training them.
