Tsukasa faces Soma and urges him to win at all costs. Now he's even stronger than ever, and that's the kind of monster Soma will have to defeat before long. Not even the White Knight can stand up to Saiba's crossed knives style, and as per the match's terms, Saiba claimed Tukasa's sword-like grater to add to his extensive arsenal. It doesn't take them long to deliberate and realize that Saiba's was indeed superior, and sure enough, Saiba is the match's winner. They give Tsukasa a few compliments, then turn their attention right back to Asahi Saiba's dish, suddenly torn between the two. Once again, the judges are dazzled, but something is wrong. He rubs the meat with herbs and recommended feijoa mousse, derived from a particular South American fruit. Tsukasa takes his turn with Poussin Chicken Rotir, an elegant flavor-packed dish that simply melts in the mouth. This is what the "crossed knives" style is capable of, and Saiba is imagined as standing atop a mountain studded with other chefs' knives and techniques. Now Tsukasa has to defend himself from that.Įven though Tsukasa and Saiba presented their chicken dishes at the same time, Tsukasa finds himself on the back foot, and he needs every ounce of his talents as the White Knight to face Saiba's multi-chef technique. He presents a dish that simply blows the judges away, combining chicken with blood sausage to create a dish whose flavor shouldn't even be possible, but it is. He even adds blood sausages with Claude de Ville's style, cuts the chicken with Sarge's chainsaw, then wraps it up with Marcanta's juggling style to cook the meat evenly. The results are clear: Saiba is borrowing the technique and tools of Marcanta, Sarge, Claude de Ville and Bunny Hare, using them all to create a unique and master-class chicken dish. Right after Sarge's loss to Soma, Saiba had met with his elite Noir chefs and asked them all for a certain favor. But Asahi Saiba isn't just using one fancy trick to cook he's using several on top of each other. As usual, Tsukasa is using his sword-like grater, living up to his reputation as the knight of the dining table. The cooking battle begins and chicken is the theme, and both chefs are getting to work.

This is a high-profile match, and everyone who's someone at the BLUE is watching Saiba go head to head with the esteemed Tsukasa Eishi, from Soma's group to WGO officials who fawn all over Tsukasa.
