So yeah we say goodbye to Shokugeki no Soma. So let me talk about it for the last time.
Soueri/sorina isn't canon but given these panels... well, i mean
Calling her first to inform that he's coming home? Huh fishy.
Definitely went to Yukihira's a lot. For the cooking challenges, obviously.
She definitely went a lot that she is considered family. And the fact that Grandfather isn't even buying her bullshit is gold.
Finish your sentences, honey. BUT WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY.
Both of them are killing me. BUT THE PANEL PLACEMENT TELLS IT ALL.
They greet like the totally married couple good friends they are. Totally platonic? Yeah, not.
And they still flirt banter like this after 10 years? Riiiight.
Personally, the open-ending isn't really that bad. The author can obviously do better. But seeing the story regress, I'm not really surpised. I was still totally hoping for a canon soueri until the end, though with less expectations.
And maybe, for the others, this is a good thing? Everything after this is free land now. Anything could happen. Fanfics are going to save us.
But this right here pretty much screamed canon to me. That's just my opinion. I'm biased lol. Anyway, implied or not, soueri will always be endgame to me.
And also, HAYAMA'S RING?? Is he married?? To whom??? Or is that just a ploy to fend off students?? I mean I would totally be in love if he was my professor.
It's also nice to see the gang one last time. They're all professionals now and I am so proud of them.
This wasn't the best ending or even the best shounen manga but I still did enjoy it as whole. Made my life a little bit exciting week after week so that's gotta count for something. I've also met amazing and talented people in this fandom. Keep doing what you do best.
