Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Ice Queen and the Spring Storm - full transcript
Eager to join the Elite Ten, Soma challenges Isshiki Satoshi-the only other second-year student from the high school division-to a cook-off. But Soma quickly discovers there is more to the challenge than he anticipated.
This is too delicious!
It makes perfect use of
seasonal spring ingredients.
He made a delicate dish like this
in such a short amount of time?
This is on a whole different level
than the other dorm residents!
Allow me to re-introduce myself.
From the Tohtsuki Council of Ten...
I'm Chair No. 7,
Satoshi Isshiki.
You're one of the Ten?
Now then...
Next, I'd like to try your food.
Just what sort of dish will you make?
Go ahead, show me...
how you express yourself
through a plate of food.
I think I kinda understand
why my dad sent me here now.
Order in!
THE ICE QUEEN AND THE SPRING STORM
Isshiki-senpai's dish,
that peppered mackerel with puree...
Senpai, does your family run
a traditional fine dining restaurant?
Why would you think that?
Well, peppered mackerel
is a staple on that kind of menu.
Plus, you can't learn this kind of thing
at any old restaurant.
That mackerel, cooked up
flaky and delicate...
The surprising choice to make
spring cabbage the base of the puree...
Still, the silky smoothness of it
is a perfect match for the mackerel.
Mackerel's in season now,
and paired with spring cabbage,
the deliciousness of each
heightens the other.
It's just like a gorgeous spring day!
Mackerel, huh?
Okay!
I'll use No. 20 from
Yukihira's secret menu.
"Yukihira"?
That's the name of our family restaurant.
I'll use mackerel as the ingredient, too.
I'll use one of our popular menu items
that, like yours, has spring as a theme.
I fell asleep.
Oh, no! I drank too much
of that rice juice!
Huh? Yukihira's cooking?
Maybe he's still hungry.
It's a cooking battle.
Ibusaki, you're awake?
Wait! They're battling?
Why, why?
Beats me.
But it was Isshiki-senpai
who threw down the gauntlet.
Um, shouldn't we be talking about
what Senpai is wearing right now?
It'd be a shame to ruin the mood
of this cooking competition.
Yeah, true.
Finished!
Yukihira secret menu No. 20: revamped!
Mackerel onigiri chazuke!
It really should be done with salmon,
but I made a different version
today using mackerel.
There's enough for everyone, so eat up!
Ah! Thank you!
What's that on the side?
Salted seaweed tea.
Its bold but lightly salted flavor
should finish out the meal perfectly.
Jeez!
If you put out something like this,
of course it will make us hungry!
Indeed.
Still, it's just normal ochazuke.
This dish would be served
at any cheap restaurant.
Now then...
Don't mind if I do!
Let's eat!
Let's eat.
Delicious!
The mackerel is so juicy,
but the skin is crispy!
The flavor comes out with every bite!
This kind of texture
wouldn't be possible by just broiling it.
How did he do this?
Poele...
This mackerel was cooked
using the poele method.
Po-e-le?
Hey, why are you surprised, too?
Uh, I'm just not sure what "poele" is...
Poele is a French way of cooking.
It's a kind of sauté.
POELE
Olive oil or such is poured
on top of the protein,
giving it a consistent browning.
Would you mind telling me, Soma-kun?
How do you know French cooking techniques?
Uh, my dad taught me
how to cook like this.
He said it's perfect
for making fish nice and crispy.
The crunchiness goes
great on a bed of rice,
or you can add seaweed tea
to give it a whole different texture.
So, your father studied French cooking?
Nah, I couldn't really tell you.
It looks like he's studied cooking
in tons of different countries, though.
I see.
Who could have imagined onigiri
done in a French fashion?
He's not bound by genre or nationality.
This cooking is so free!
And poele was the perfect choice,
given the thickness of the fish's skin.
It's ideal for both salmon and mackerel.
Soma-kun determined that in an instant,
and arranged his menu accordingly.
The pure white of the rice is like snow!
Amidst that, the mackerel flavor
is so pronounced...
It's the essence of spring itself.
With this dish,
he's expressed the very moment
of spring's beginning!
Bl...
Bl...
Bloom!
You're welcome!
So beautiful...
Such a beautiful way to ring
in the new season, Soma-kun!
You too, Senpai.
I definitely felt that
refreshing spring breeze.
Thank you for a good competition.
What the hey? What's goin' on?
IT MOVES ONE TO TEARS,
THE SIGHT OF A HALF-NAKED MAN
SHAKING HANDS WITH A CLASSMATE.
Marui? Marui!
Marui!
He's not waking up, huh?
Yeah.
Okay, time to go!
I'll definitely clean up next time, Marui.
Yeah, next time for sure. For real.
Still, why did Isshiki-senpai
choose to do a cooking battle?
Who knows, he's pretty spontaneous.
There's no point in wondering
what a weirdo like him is thinking.
So sleepy!
Well, goodnight, Megumi.
Yeah, goodnight.
Soma-kun,
with this welcome party, you're officially
one of us here at Kyokusei.
If you have any concerns,
don't hesitate to ask.
In that case...
How does someone join the Ten?
That's right.
You're out to take the Academy's
top spot, aren't you?
Is there some reason for your resolve?
The truth is, my dad and I
are kind of fighting.
Unless I can at least join the Ten,
he won't acknowledge what I can do.
That battle just now was a draw, but...
If I beat you, will I be
the new Tohtsuki No. 7?
How wonderful!
Such wonderful ambition, Soma-kun!
I'm so ridiculously moved right now!
That's what it takes for a student
to live here at Kyokusei!
Uh...
But we'll have to postpone that for today.
It's late.
We should get some rest, Soma-kun.
Well, y-- you're right.
Take the top spot at Tohtsuki?
The true weight of those words
will soon become clear.
Um, my name's Soma Yukihira.
To be honest, I think of this school
as nothing but a stepping stone.
I'm takin' the top spot.
But you will come to learn...
at this school,
cooking is literally everything.
THIS IS TO INFORM YOU OF THE RESULTS
OF THE PREVIOUS FOOD WAR.
DEAR ACADEMY DIRECTOR,
THIS IS TO INFORM YOU
FOOD WAR
Your main ingredient will be eggs.
Make me one dish.
Only those whose dish impresses me
may transfer into Tohtsuki Academy.
Hurry up and give me that bowl!
It's disgusting!
I'll make myself clear.
I do not approve of this.
Not of you and not of your cooking!
"Take the top spot," will you?
Don't make me laugh.
All the students who've advanced
from the middle school division
have learned cutting-edge gastronomy!
Just keep your sights on the ground.
Some outside transfer student
could never beat them.
RYOKO SAKAKI
ROOM NO. 112
I'm gonna ferment!
Usako...
YUKI YOSHINO
ROOM NO. 116
Heavy!
MEGUMI TADOKORO
ROOM NO. 302
Good morning, everyone.
They always, always mess my room up!
Today I'm gonna say it like it
is and scold them...
ZENJI MARUI
ROOM NO. 205
...scold them, scold them!
'Sup?
Hey.
CAFETERIA
What? What's going on?
We put it off last night, right?
Now, with the Ten's No. 7
seat on the line...
I challenge you, Isshiki-senpai!
Huh?
Well, let's eat.
I'm starving.
Fumio-san, you done yet?
Stop complaining already!
Sit down and wait quietly.
I'm sorry, Soma-kun.
I didn't explain things very well...
About how challenges work at
Tohtsuki Academy, that is.
Godabayashi-sama!
Good luck!
Dosukoi!
We of the Chanko Stew Society
have a long and noble history, stretching
back to the Academy's very founding.
KIYOSHI GODABAYASHI 2ND-YEAR,
76TH CAPTAIN OF THE CHANKO STEW SOCIETY
CHANKO STEW SOCIETY
And yet, Nakiri-kun, you would
demolish our stable to build what?
A cooking annex for my personal use.
The fifth one has gotten a bit crowded,
so the sixth one--
Shut your mouth!
That building holds a history
and passion for eating fostered
by your senior students!
For you to trample on that...
Dammit, you call yourself a chef?
Yeah, that's right!
It's an outrage!
Erina-sama...
So, simply imitating the recipes
of those senior students
and squandering your budget...
Is that your "passion"?
These past few years,
you've contributed little of value.
A society that merely praises
its past accomplishments
isn't needed here at Tohtsuki, I'd say.
You always flaunt your authority.
Someone needs to put you in your place!
If I win, you'll step down
from the No. 10 seat!
I challenge you, Erina Nakiri!
And if I win,
construction continues as planned.
Let the game begin, Godabayashi-senpai.
Here at the Academy, there's a system
for resolving disputes between students.
And it involves a few different rules.
If you want to challenge me
for the No. 7 seat,
you have to offer something
of corresponding value.
Corresponding value? To the No. 7 seat?
Something on the level of my seat...
Even you being expelled
wouldn't be enough.
For real?
That's right.
That's how much weight the Ten carry.
After all, they're the highest
decision-making body on campus.
Not even the teachers can go against
a ruling made by the Council of Ten.
In the past, residents from this very dorm
would join the Ten almost every year.
It was truly the Golden Age of Kyokusei.
By comparison, you all are just pathetic.
Jeez, Fumio-san, you want
to talk about that again?
Well, that's that.
You could challenge me if I accepted,
but of course I don't want you
to leave our school.
Put simply...
this challenge isn't going to happen.
For real?
And I was up at 5:00
this morning ready to go.
In any case, going for the No. 7 seat...
It's too reckless!
They'd probably think he's an idiot.
Also, it's not like you can
just challenge people at will.
There are three things you need
to challenge someone.
One: Authorized officials
to declare the challenge valid.
Two: An odd number of judges.
Three: The agreement of both parties
as to the conditions of the challenge.
Only then can things
start to come together.
Man, what a friggin' pain.
But the other side of that is,
when all three conditions are met,
you can battle anyone at this school.
"Any and all challengers
must be put down through cooking."
That is Tohtsuki's traditional,
one-on-one cooking battle.
Its name:
FOOD WAR
"Food War"!
Judgment has been reached.
KIYOSHI GODABAYASHI
ERINA NAKIRI
In this Food War,
the victor is Erina Nakiri!
I-- it can't be!
I lost on all counts?
CHANKO STEW SOCIETY
Our Stew Society...
Just what's wrong with
this lobster hotpot?
Senpai, your dish...
it fails on 27 points.
First, there's the lobster.
You blanched it two seconds too long.
Next, the oysters produced a slight
off-flavor that affected the whole dish.
Shut up!
As for how the vegetables were treated--
Shut up!
And what about your food?
You're saying it's better than the dish I
worked so hard on specifically for today?
Resume!
Well, Senpai?
What do you say to my langoustine ravioli?
The ravioli has been
steamed fluffy and light,
while the langoustine inside is
plump and bursting with flavor.
The sheer delicacy of it is like being
at the mercy of a champion yokozuna!
This is a different dimension of flavor!
It's immaculate!
It's me.
Yes.
Please begin.
What are you...
Stop!
Stop it!
How cruel...
How heartless!
This...
This is...
the granddaughter of the Demon of Food?
Be seeing you.
"Food Wars," huh?
Man, and I really wanted
to challenge Nakiri.
Th-- there's no way you could beat her.
I'm looking forward to
how things play out.
SATOSHI ISSHIKI ROOM NO. 206
NO. 7 SEAT ON THE TEN
I'm sure he'll rack up
some impressive victories.
After all, he was able to get a draw
against me, the No. 7 seat.
You think so too, don't you, Ibusaki-kun?
Save it.
SHUN IBUSAKI
ROOM NO. 208
You're not taking this seriously at all.
You didn't even serve your specialty.
That dish you made went way
beyond just playing it safe.
What are you talking about?
I put my all into that dish.
You're a real handful.
Soma-kun...
When I ate your food, I had a revelation.
Rookie though you are...
you'll be the trigger that will bring
the academy's Food Wars to full bloom!
That was an excellent performance,
Erina-sama.
Beating someone like him
is nothing to brag about.
It would be safe to call
that a disappointment.
Tohtsuki has no need
for anything less than perfect.
Give me the list of the next targets.
M-- ma'am, here it is!
Erina-sama...
Won't you please let me go next?
There's no need for you
to go after these small fry yourself.
Please, let me handle them.
Indeed.
That sounds interesting.
But you know what that entails, yes?
They don't call me
the "Meat Master" for nothing.
And I'll protect that title...
Trust me, I'll offer up
a flawless victory.
