After 19 episodes of intense culinary battles, the 20th episode in the third season of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma is titled "Erina's Devotion." The show revolves around the culinary school, Totsuki, and Soma's quest to be the best chef in the world. The anime is an adaption of the manga "Shokugeki no Soma" written by Yūto Tsukuda.
In this episode, Erina Nakiri, the God Tongue, takes the center stage as she showcases her culinary skills and determination to be the culinary director. Erina's family background has always been a topic of interest in the series. She comes from a family of culinary elites and is considered a prodigy in her own right. Due to her family background, Erina has always been ostracized by her peers in the culinary world, and has a cold demeanor.
In the beginning of the episode, Erina enters the meeting room with the Elite Ten, who hold the highest positions in the Totsuki culinary school. She is determined to make a change and to prove her worth as the culinary director. The Elite Ten are not convinced and start questioning her culinary skills. Erina replies with great confidence, stating that she is willing to put her career on the line in a Shokugeki – a high-stakes culinary battle.
Erina's opponent in this battle is Terunori Kuga, a member of the Elite Ten and the leader of the Chinese Cuisine Research Society. Kuga and Erina have had a rocky relationship in the past, but this battle is not about personalities – it is about culinary skills. The judge for this Shokugeki is Etsuya Eizan, a member of the Central, a faction within Totsuki that is led by Azami Nakiri, Erina's father.
The battle between Erina and Kuga is one of the most intense culinary battles in the series. Their culinary styles clash, as Erina's French culinary techniques meet Kuga's mastery in Chinese cuisine. With every dish they create, the tension in the room rises, and every judge's expression becomes more and more serious.
The highlight of the episode is Erina's creativity and innovation in the dishes she creates. She uses her vast knowledge in culinary techniques and ingredients to create a dish that nobody has ever seen before, and leaves the judges in awe. Kuga's dishes are equally impressive, but in the end, it is Erina who wins the Shokugeki, stunning the Elite Ten and Eizan.
As Erina basks in her victory, she contemplates the challenges ahead. The Elite Ten and Central stand in her way, and Erina knows that her road to the top will be difficult. However, her victory in this Shokugeki is a symbol of her determination to be the best, and serves as a message to her opponents that she will not back down.
