The Fourth Plate

2nd BOUT of the Régiment du Cuisine is between Megishima & Rindo, Mimasaka & Saito and Kuga & Tsukasa! The theme of each team is "Chilli", "Tuna" and "Green Tea". Mimasaka shows off his new skill which he devised from working together in a team. The rebel team unite as one to defeat the new found Totsuki Elite Ten! Their dishes are both ready and judgement begins...!

2nd BOUT between the new and old members of the Elite Ten continues. Megishima and Mimasaka have lost only by a fraction. Why is Kuga so tanaciously persistant on Tsukasa? What kind of dish will they make using "green tea"? 2nd BOUT comes to an end! The rebels enjoy short break but Momo, 3rd seat of the Elite Ten, visits them...

The Régiment du Cuisine enters 3rd BOUT! Soma vs Saito, Takumi vs Eizan and Megumi vs Momo are the next round. The 3 members of the rebels study under famous chefs and Megumi is taken care by Shinomiya. However, her past experience with him bring back traumatic memories and she is unable to do her best. What made her come back to herself was... shojo comics!?

Between Megumi and Momo, who will concur over the 3rd BOUT of Régiment du Cuisine? Meanwhile, Takumi and Eizan prep for their "beef"-themed dish. While Takumi works on his version of Japanese traditional dish "shigureni", Eizan plays dirty behind his back in order to get advantage! Being cornered, what’s Takumi’s secret plan?

The match between Takumi and Eizan comes to an end and there’s only one pair left: Soma is up against Saito, who overcame Mimasaka’s Perfect Trace! What will they cook, using the theme of their battle, “butter”?

The heated battle enters 4th BOUT! The remaining 3 Central members are Tsukasa, Rindo and Momo. With stakes at the highest, the rebel team goes all-out with their best, too: Isshiki, Takumi and Erina! Erina finally joins the battle and she is up against Momo! The unlosable battle begins..!

Azami Nakiri turns up to the battle venue and announces that he will be involved as a judge for this round! Rebels are outraged but even Senzaemon, who is supposed to be on their side, agrees to this change. With everyone confused, Takumi's and Rindo’s dishes are ready to be served!

One win for the Central and one win for the rebels! The shokugeki between Isshiki and Tsukasa reaches its climax! The theme was a classical French ingredient, rabbit meat. Isshiki’s dish manage to impress the judges but Tsukasa seems to be unmoved. Will Tsukasa be able to surpass Isshiki’s super aggressive dish?

The last Régiment du Cuisine begins! For the FINAL BOUT, each member from the team must complete 1 entree and 1 main dish to complete a course meal. Although team work is crucial to this battle, Soma and Erina continue to bicker on. On the other hand, the invincible pair Tsukasa and Rindo are ready to present their dishes…!

During the FINAL BOUT, Soma challenges Erina to a Shokugeki. There is a hidden motive behind it: Soma wants Erina to put everything she’s got into her “Killer Dish”... As the time-limit draws nearer, Erina takes on Soma’s challenge and starts to prepare a new dish! What will Erina present as her “Killer Dish”?

The time has come to decide the winner for the FINAL BOUT! In the end, the rebel team wins the battle! Azami admits the defeat of the Central and leave the venue without a word. However, he is stopped by his old friends Joichiro and Dojima. At the same time, Soma and others have gathered to decide who will sit at the table of the Elite Ten council...
