Why? Let’s discuss that and more in Waifu Wars – where we take a look at the lovely leading ladies in popular anime and see what makes them the ideal partner. So, a romance would automatically be on the back burner instead of it being a fully developed focal point.īut hey, that didn’t stop the ships from emerging! Just like most Shonen, Shokugeki No Soma has a host of female cast members that could’ve ended up with Sōma. Even if it focuses on food, it follows the quintessential Shonen formula. It is, first and foremost, a Shonen anime. Like, as much as I like rivalries and bonds in an anime, that’s not what Shokugeki No Soma is about. Especially if said subplot doesn’t even get a proper conclusion by the end of things. Sometimes I feel like having a romance subplot in a show that was so clearly not about romance is wasted potential. Sōma and Erina definitely had more than a competitive spark between both of them, and it’s basically a done deal. And, surprise surprise, Erina seems to like him back too! After that, it’s your usual fade-to-black ending, leaving it up to interpretation by the audience, but it’s clear. While it isn’t apparent who Sōma Yukihira, the titular protagonist of the show, ends up with, we do see him admit that he likes his on-and-off rival, Erina Nakiri, in the epilogue. Like, who was even focusing on that when you had the Special Smoked Curry on screen? But clearly, fans care about the fate of Sōma’s heart. This is why I never understood why Food Wars!: Shokugeki No Soma had an entire romance subplot. I’m sure some anime is good, but when those anime have gorgeous food shots? That’s a personal indulgence. Like, my entire repertoire of cooking comes from whatever food was shown in a Studio Ghibli movie.

Okay, so I cannot be the only person who drools over food in anime.
