Shokugeki No Soma or in English name known as Food Wars was one of my favorite shonen anime that I had watched. I like it because they bring flavor to the culinary world through anime, basically it is about cooking and the title also implies it is all about battle relating food. A shokugeki is a match/duel between two chefs that have conditions with 3 judges and the one who won will follow his/her condition on the battle. The extra spice and addition of this anime was of course for someone have seen you cannot deny that it has a lot of fan service, one good example was when a character taste a food that was amazing you will see what I mean if you have saw the series and the manga. It was sad when the anime series came to a conclusion and end last 2020, the fantastic cooking of Soma and his way to the top had finally achieved by him but for manga readers that have seen the three special chapters of Food Wars I know the anime lacks a lot. Anyway, what we will talk about right now was all the seasons of Food Wars, for others that have seen the anime I bet you have your favorite season but for others that didn’t watched Food Wars yet? Now let me tell every short intro on every season of it.
Season 01
The season 01 was basically the introduction of all characters of course our main protagonist “Yukihira Soma” where he enters the academy which is Totsuki and meet a lot of friends. Also we can see the introduction of other characters which help Soma to become the best and grow every aspect in cooking at the academy. The semi antagonist or the one who will future partner of Soma though it was not really shown in the end, “Nakiri Erina” which hold the title “GOD TONGUE” was the one of the reason why Soma will grow as the best chef. For me season 1 was one of the best season of the anime but there’s a lot more we can expect on the next seasons. In this season we can see the potential on Soma and in every episode you will see how he will grow as a chef.
Season 02
The season 2 was the continuation of the Autumn election that was cut in the season 01 also we can see in here that Soma lost in the Autumn election with Hayama but Soma didn’t just stay as he is, he further improved his cooking skills and learned a lot in the “Stagiarie” which is like the OJT (On the job training) for students. This season was good for me, not bad but not also my favorite.
Season 03
The season 3 was one of the greatest arc of all and one of my most favorite, it is the part where the current elite ten introduced and the coup d'etat was estrablised by father of Erina who is Nakiri Azami and take over Totsuki. Azami shown his dark side here and the new Totsuki was way too different from before, Soma and his friends need to pass on the exams but a lot had failed and expelled but Soma and Erina suggest a Team Shokugeki to get back the expelled student and the handling of Totsuki academy. This was one of best season so far but after I watched the next season this was only second to my favorite.
Season 04
The season 4 was my favorite season of all because it was the battle between the rebels which is Soma, Erina and friends versus the Elite Ten which is 6 only because the 3 was removed from the elite ten by Azami and Erina removed her title as Elite Ten. This season was the coolest battle of all because it is battle between the best and Soma, this shows how big was the growth of Soma from Season 1 to Season 3 and it was really epic. Though it may be a spoiler at the end of season 04 they won and a new Elite Ten was born where Soma take the number one spot & seat, First Seat of Elite Ten.
Season 05
The season 05 was also good but it was fast forward it is basically about the BLUE and the biological brother of Erina, which is Asahi and this is the part where Soma wants Erina to say delicious on the food he will serve, though it ends very fast it was still okay for me.
