The fall tournament preliminaries are over, and despite losing to Hayama with 93 points to 94, Soma still makes it through to the next round. Although frustrated, he vows to get stronger as he faces the finals.

Soma, Megumi, Takumi, Hisako, Alice, Kurokiba, Hayama, Mimasaka. These eight must face each other in the final round. But who will Soma’s next opponent be? And who will take the number one spot?

Soma Yukihira

Voice Actor: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

A first year student at Tootsuki Culinary Academy. He was working hard training under his father at his restaurant, Yukihira, in order to become an even better chef than him, but he ended up transferring to famous culinary school Tootsuki Academy. Thanks to being raised in a cooking environment since the age of three, he has excellent skills, and his bold and daring personality means he causes quite the stir at school!

Erina Nakiri

Voice Actor: Risa Taneda

A first year student at Tootsuki Culinary Academy. She passed Tootsuki Middle School’s internal advancement test with top marks, and is one of the Tootsuki Elite Ten, the highest decision-making authority in the school. She is also the granddaughter of Senzaemon Nakiri, the director of the academy. Has a rare ability called ‘God’s Tongue’, and has been a professional taster for famous restaurants since she was young.

Megumi Tadokoro

Voice Actor: Minami Takahashi

A first year student at Tootsuki Culinary Academy. She came to Tokyo from a rural town in the northeast to enter the school. Although she progressed to the high school division from Tootsuki Middle School, she had quite bad grades on the entrance exam. Therefore, if she fails one more time or gets an E, she will be expelled. She is kind and gentle, and her cooking is comforting. It would be good if she could show off her skills without getting so nervous!

Ikumi Mito

Voice Actor: Shizuka Ishigami

A first year student at Tootsuki Culinary Academy. A meat specialist who has never got a grade other than A for her meat dishes. Contrary to her sexy appearance and wild behaviour, when it comes to meat she is surprisingly sensitive. Dislikes her nickname Nikumi, and will get angry at anyone other than Soma that calls her it.

Takumi Aldini

Voice Actor: Natsuki Hanae

A first year student at Tootsuki Culinary Academy. He is an exchange student from Italy, who transferred in his second year of middle school. Has helped out at his family restaurant (Trattoria) since he was younger, alongside his younger twin brother, Isami. Has on-the-job training, is excellent with Italian cuisine, and sees Soma as his rival. Is super popular with girls and has his own fan club at school.
