Episode Title:
Hunting the Survivors.
Episode Description:
With Soma's victory, the Polar Star dorm is saved. The residents and Erina, Hisako, Takumi, and Isami celebrate the victory. Isshiki arrives and explains that thanks to Soma's victory, Central is now allowing school organizations to issue Shokugeki requests, which will be overseen by neutral judges. Several days later, Isshiki is dismissed from the Elite Ten, along with Kuga and 3rd seat Megishima, as they voted against Azami's installation. The rest of the Elite Ten and other Central members begin to "hunt the survivors" by defeating other school societies in their Shokugeki matches. Soma and his friends observe the matches to gain intelligence on their potential opponents. Alice and Kurokiba arrive for the final Shokugeki of the day, with all previous matches having resulted in a win for Central. Alice explains that she had inadvertently become the head of the Cutting Edge Cuisine RS, making her a target in the hunt. Kurokiba accepted the challenge on her behalf, and prepares to face off against Central member Kusunoki Rentaro, with the main ingredient of salmon.
