## Synopsis

Souma Yukihira sharpened his cooking behind the counter of his family's little diner before talking his way into Totsuki, an elite academy where students settle scores with food. Seasons of brutal cook-offs later, he's climbed to the top table of the school's Ten Masters Council alongside the rivals and friends who pushed him there. Now a coveted invitation arrives: BLUE, a world-class competition where ambitious young chefs chase real fame, except this year the format has been turned on its head and the challenge themes are anything but ordinary. It's the last leg of Souma's run, plated for a finale.
