Episode Title:
The Last Supper.
Episode Description:
Soma, Megumi, and Takumi arrive at the site of the BLUE Tournament along with Saiba and the Noirs. The WGO Book Master explains that contestants will have to pass through three gates, each requiring completing a special culinary challenge to open, before reaching the main castle keep where they will compete in front of the Book Master herself. However, Asahi reveals that he has been seeded to the third gate. Erina then reveals that she will have to pass her own special set of trials separate from the rest of the contestants. Soma, Megumi, and Takumi are then separated into different groups. Soma's group is tasked with creating dishes that will satisfy Tokiyama Heigoro, an elderly Ex-Noir looking for a dish that will be a worthy last supper. The regular chefs are unable to satisfy Heigoro, while the Noirs easily pass. Asahi explains that only Noirs can understand the significance of a last meal thanks to their underworld experience. Soma serves Heigoro monaka with a monkfish liver filling. Soma then chastises Heigoro, pointing out he should stop looking for last suppers and instead take the opportunity to explore and eat new foods he's never seen before. This shocks Heigoro, who was planning on committing suicide after the tournament, and he resolves to keep on living to explore as many tastes as he can. Soma passes the first gate along with Megumi and Takumi. They express confusion that this BLUE does not seem to be focusing on gourmet like previous tournaments. Meanwhile, Erina is forced to face off against a gauntlet of chefs. As Soma, Megumi, and Takumi pass through the first gate, they are shocked to meet Tsukasa.
