Reasons I ship Soma and Megumi
Lots of hate in the Shokugeki fandom for this combo, but I stand by it forever and always. I’m not bashing on people who have other ideas, but this is my take on it:
-Megumi and Soma’s positive relationship trumps Erina and Soma’s negative one. M and S complement each other from the beginning, whereas Erina treats him like he is the scum of the Earth.
-Erina doesn’t really take anything from their relationship and doesn’t really care to. Megumi and Soma are constantly helping each other to be better in every sense even if they don’t notice.
-While Tsundere is endearing in other animes, Erina’s high class, controlling, godlike attitude and cold outward demeanor towards EVERYONE gets old. Eventually, you want her to just stop talking. Megumi is an absolutely adorable muffin that you don’t get tired of.
-Hisako and Erina makes so much more sense. The mutual respect between the two makes for a great relationship and they share a unique bond that’s hard to come by. Same with Megumi and Soma. Both came from humble beginnings and have a solid respect and humility that comes with their interactions. Their chemistry seems so much more positive and worthwhile to watch.
Like I said, THIS IS NOT A SHIPSHAMING POST! I am not here to create arguments or destroy anyone’s opinions. This is purely to present a different perspective and create another train of thought while protecting those who do ship these two. There need not be so much hate against people who enjoy the same show.
