I believe Erina is following the EPIC arc of character development which follows the mantra of slow and steady and every now and then you see glimpses of a true Tsundere which is perfect. What has Megumi done for Souma lately? Erina is feeding the MC's development through sheer talent alone making him rise to her pantheon. This also pulls Tadokoro using Souma as a proxy. Don't get me wrong, I like Tadokoro but she is not in the MC's pay grade... she's better off competing with Souma's childhood friend for first place in the unrequited love category. Erina has classic oujo tendencies and sure she doesn't get the screen time she deserves yet because Souma is still wallowing amongst the pigs but once he takes on the Elite ten which is (clearly the end-game here) then she'll shine.

Besides, I don't really see Tadokoro's body giving Souma the "support" he "needs" to help Souma realize his dream like the Father implied... she totally has one of those "die after the first kid" kinda bodies. She's no good man!

the last paragraph came out of no where

LMAO I am completely dead


just to piss the Haters I am going for #TEAMERINA

Wait, someone is finally translating this!?
 
Girls of the Wild's 178

Bah, knew we wouldn't see Miss Ina kill someone but good stuff Jaegu. I've been impressed with his growth this arc. He's finally growing balls and getting some excellent fighting experience.

Seeing Dal Dal body that dude in one kick was so satisfying.
 
In all honesty Erina is the endgame no matter what.... Therefore making it easy for me not to care for the other harem girls in a Soma relationship perspective....

But in all honesty Soma's harem girls aren't that great to begin with.... I mean the other females we've seen in this series who aren't part of it are on another league compared to those who are (excluding Erina as she isn't part of it yet).... I mean Megumi is the best one in there and unfortunitely she is a lower status compared to some girls we've seen who aren't in the Soma fan club IMHO.

I am guessing if Erina ever did join it, she would suffer too in popularity.


I hope when Soma does find that person he bluntly says it and saves us the effort of seeing these girls running around with believing they have hope.

I'll laugh so fuckin hard when Erina loses and the one who wins is someone no one ever suspected. The delicious tears would be glorious.

God do I want an ending like The World God Only Knows just for the endgame.
The tears because of Chihiro winning was amazing.

Anyways I don't understand why some like Erina because imho she just has a shitty personality and is irrelevant. Every girl in Soma is way superior to her, she's just a forgettable shit. Terrible ojou sama.

Erina's just not relevant yet since everyone has to catch up to her level first (in skills not character lol).
With all they've shown so far, I don't mind her. Hopefully when they do have an arc with her, she'll be interesting.

Also who did MangaGAF root for in TWGOK? Can't remember if I paid attention to these threads back then.

...This Shipping discussion y'all having has some shades of Naruto gaf prior to the release of the final 2 chapters...

Thankfully I don't read Soma. I've had enough of the shipping wars.

So, Kayano was never her real Name, but Yukimura Akari, and she is the little Sister of Class E's former Homeroom Teacher?



Is that the Woman Koro made the Promise to? It would make a lot of Sense if she was the former Teacher, and i could see why Akari would go so far to steal Tentacles from Shiros Lab if she is thinking that Koro killed her Sister >.>

Wasn't this a Manga about Conquering Dungeons when it began? When did this turn into a Batlle Manga of this Scale?

Girls of the Wilds 178 - Full of win that chapter was. maybe the only thing that would have made it better was maybe seeing Ina beat the shit of that guy. But even there we'd have missed the awesome that we did get. And bravo Jaegu.

Honestly, I don't care if Tadokoro not ended up with Soma or shit like that. The reason I like here is her character design and how she developed throughout the story up until now. My wish is that she still relevant and involved heavily with the plot, not relegated to cheering bench like Nikumi

Tadokoro the best, Erina is shit tier.

Speaking of:

Shokugeki no Soma 107
I have to admit, I kinda wanted Erina to be forced down to the trenches for a bit and get a little humility taught to her with the dish washing, but I can't say I'm surprised at how things wound up going. I'm actually really excited about the idea of Erina and Tadokoro having to team up. They're arguably the two most important female characters in the series, and it struck me that they've never really crossed streams before. Consider it a pair-up I didn't know I wanted. I expect a fair bit of character development, in any case. Erina will inspire Tadokoro to outdo herself, Tadokoro will probably teach Erina to be a little less conceited. And more likely than not, Tadokoro will wind up being Erina's in for Souma. Regardless, I'm just happy we're getting more Tadokoro after so long. Hopefully she stays relevant, even with Erina taking center spotlight.

EDIT: Oh, right. There was some stuff with Souma, too. That was still pretty good!

Prison School 155
If there ever comes a time when the question of 'is manga true art' must be answered, I would look towards Prison School. Every time I think Prison School's gone as far as it'll go, it just keeps soaring past the pale and far into the horizon and infinity. The greatest Rube Goldberg sequence there ever was. I fucking love this series.

I'd be cool with a Tadokoro-Erina yuri twist

Erina do still have one of top food reaction


We need more failed food reaction. Erina should test all those Soma food experiment

Yukimura Aguri is Akari older sister. which indeed Class-E teacher before Koro sensei. It was hinted that Koro sensei accidentally kill Aguri for some reason.

my speculation is that Koro sensei is one of the biological experiment test subject that conducted by Shiro organization. Experiment when wrong. He turn into tentacle monster . when berserk. kill surrounding people including Aguri which he then make promise with. The experiment of making tentacle obviously still going on. First set is been stolen by Akari then another set is been implemented by Itona.

Yeah, that makes sense. But i hope there is more behind that, although i would be okay with that explaination.

Well, it certainly made her popular.

Sudden family drama.

So easily forgiven. I hope they won't forget the business within the Soma familia.

THIS CHAPTER!
Man, i just can't hold all these feeling ;_;

I think I actually like this development more because the past 5 chapters has the MC been stubbornly reverting back to his own NEET's escapism ways. In the midst of that, we can tell even if he is a useless bum, he still loves his mother.

So, to me, everything falls into place nicely.

Agree.
The last few pages is so good. Especially the last narration
"In this age where everyone aims to be "bringer" this man..."

I find your post strangely compelling. It's like she's a final boss who doesn't have much to do until Soma manages to get past the trash bosses.

I bailed out during the second paragraph, though,
