Episode Title:
The One Who Aims for the Summit.
Episode Description:
Soma creates a charcoal grilled venison thigh with sweet chestnut sauce, while Tsukasa makes roast venison back strap with peppercorn and berry sauce. Erina, Hisako, and Megumi judge the dishes and reluctantly declare Tsukasa the winner. However, Tsukasa decides not to force Soma into Central, saying that Soma's unorthodox and non-wavering cooking style would hinder his own cooking. The second Survivor Hunt begins a few days later, with Megumi, Ikumi, and Marui managing to save their respective clubs. That night, Azami pays a visit to Polar Star, where he is coldly received. As he leaves, Soma confronts Azami, who reveals that he was part of the Polar Star's Golden Generation, and that he revered Joichiro and his cooking. Soma tells Azami that Joichiro is his father, right as Erina arrives, shocking both Azami and Erina. Azami arrogantly declares that the revolution he is planning is meant to bring down the food culture that "ruined" Joichiro, leaving both Soma and Erina wondering what happened between Joichiro and Azami.
