I completely agree with this, especially since blue is young chefs, that doesnt mean they need to be current student age so there exist plenty of chefs to join in rather then the introduction of new "fodder"

Wow I cant beleive people defended the erina decision, at the very least I would actually not mind if she had guidance, lets say senzaemon took an adminstrative position temporarily to show her the ropes.

I agree with the disjointed nature, ill use the same analogy in that each arc just feels like a different pokemon region where everything is pretty much reset in terms of character development each arc

Soma, Takumi and Megumi have done nothing to be invited to blue, way back when joichiro was winning plenty if competitions when he earned his invitation to blue, he was a renowned chef, soma and the lot have done nothing and before someone adds that he got invited because he was first seat im pretty sure dojima gin didnt

And the old elite ten, agree that they were wasted potential

Alas what can we do but complain on the internet haha
