When he hears her thoughts, he starts to cook a “Yukihira dish” and make her taste it…!

The students have been tasked with creating an egg-based breakfast menu item for a buffet, and they must persuade guests to consume 200 servings before two hours' time.

What kind of dish will they make using "green tea"? 2nd BOUT comes to an end! The rebels enjoy short break but Momo, 3rd seat of the Elite Ten, visits them...

Having completed the first challenge, Soma heads off to the second venue. There, he encounters someone unexpected.

Soma thinks upon the circumstance of Shiomi Seminar’s closure and the reason why Hayama joined the Central without a fight. Dojima, who knew why Hayama joined the Elite Ten, tells Soma it was because Azami has been pulling the wires from behind. With that knowledge, Soma heads to where Hayama is! Finally, the day of the 3rd exam is here! Soma’s revenge match begins!!

The advancement exam continues. In the 3rd exam, students are to battle Totsuki Elite Ten members! Soma is up against none other than Hayama, who joined the council recently.

As Soma tackles bear meat fruitlessly, an unexpected person comes to his aid…!

The season is summer! Soma and his friends have been through first semester of the second year and are now facing the final exams. The test is to run a "Beach House" on a beach packed with tourists and achieve sales of 3 million yen in 3 days! Soma and others of the Elite Ten felt confident, only until they found out about the downside of this exam… The restaurant prepared for them was almost nothing but an abandoned house! Will Soma and the others be able to pass the final exam?

The match between Takumi and Eizan comes to an end and there’s only one pair left: Soma is up against Saito, who overcame Mimasaka’s Perfect Trace! What will they cook, using the theme of their battle, “butter”?

The time has come to decide the winner for the FINAL BOUT! In the end, the rebel team wins the battle! Azami admits the defeat of the Central and leave the venue without a word. However, he is stopped by his old friends Joichiro and Dojima. At the same time, Soma and others have gathered to decide who will sit at the table of the Elite Ten council...

With Soma declared victor in the first match, it is now Megumi's turn to rise to the occasion. The theme is ramen, and her opponent is Kurokiba Ryo. What will these complete opposites in personalities and cooking styles choose for their ramen broth?

After passing the 1st exam, Soma and others are moving onto the 2nd exam! The next theme is “noodle dish”! However, they face another obstruction from the Central! When it's their time to cook, all the noodles were used up. Although the regulation is to “procure any missing ingredients yourself”, they are stranded in the rural mountain side venue and are also grounded with heavy snow! How will Soma and friends get through this!?

Though Polar Star Dormitory has won a narrow victory, the Azami administration is continuing its revolution. Isshiki (7th Seat), Megishima (3rd Seat), Kuga (8th Seat) are removed from the Elite Ten. Furthermore, the administration begins its "survivor hunt" to crush remaining organizations who seek to overturn the administration's decision to shut them all down...

Soma and Asahi’s battle begin! The theme of the battle is to cook a dish that has elements of the 5 cuisine of the world. The battle situation seems to be in favor of Asahi, who completed his dish first using his cross-knives technique. However, the dish Soma prepared was a “diner food”!? Will his dish match a plate that has been recognized by the “God’s Tongue”?

Not only will Yukihira face Mimasaka in the semi-finals, but the match will also be a shokugeki! Yukihira even tells Mimasaka what he'll prepare for the match--how does he plan to defeat Mimasaka's perfect profiling?

Azami Nakiri turns up to the battle venue and announces that he will be involved as a judge for this round! Rebels are outraged but even Senzaemon, who is supposed to be on their side, agrees to this change. With everyone confused, Takumi's and Rindo’s dishes are ready to be served!
