[@leonardofarias8843]

He would be a cooking speed demon

[@fortunasp5391]

Well Soma is a pretty generic shōnen protag.

[@KaiserAfini]

@@fortunasp5391 Pretty much. They say he doesn't have natural talent, but was trained his entire life in a restaurant by an elite chef. He maintains intense focus with little rest, like when he got almost no sleep in the stagiare. He maintains the tranquility of a Zen master amidst the most stressful duels. A cooking variation Charles Atlas superpowers, at least I think its that trope.

[@soradps]

KaiserAfini he doesn’t have natural talent, what he had instead was an insane work ethic and a borderline unhealthy obsession with his craft from a very young age. they made it pretty clear that young joichiro was a naturally much better chef than young soma

[@NarutoUzumaki-ko2te]

Lol yea the only person to blame is the author. The animation team and directors are only adapting so they can finish the finale arc he left. Truth be told they tried to make this arc an easier pill to swallow and will hopefully give an anime original based on the manga’s ending

[@ichmagreis69]

yeah i think overall it was a good idea for BLUE and Erinas Mother to be in the final arc, but this noir stuff is just a bit too farfetched, should have just brought in some cooking prodigies from around the world as the antagonists, maybe someone else who wants to marry Erina to push the SomaXErina relationship but thats it

[@spaguetus6188]

This anime is fire

[@Ravyllsia_Passion.438]

The title is “I’m the Protagonist Now!”, however much it looks like it from the outside it is not truly the case. Asahi doesn’t truly understand the essence of the cooking he has taken from the other chefs. He only takes and uses their knives and tools to further his own cooking to essentially hide the fact he has no “personal feelings or flavor” to his dish. Hence Asahi is literally empty or devoid of what it truly means to be a chef. Saiba Joichiro did say cooking a dish for a person you loved would bring out the best of your dish, as for Asahi, he claimed to love Erina and his cooking is meant for her, but it was really meant for himself in reality. He wanted to prove his dish is “the best of the best” and no one can match or be on par with Erina and her dishes besides himself, essentially looking down on chefs beneath him. He wanted to prove with his cooking that he was the only one for Erina and in that sense validating his self worth and cooking skills. Which is something a chef should not be doing. Edit: His lackeys, Sarge, Don Kama, and the rest in silent agreement definitely hit the nail on the head. They are literally saying he is the “Fake Protagonist Now!”
