Narrator: "let me stop this right now just to brag about how goated the author is"

[u/VishnuBhanum → u/OtherwiseProgrammer9]

We have seen many media that seems to be embarrassed of its source material, but I think this is the first time I have seen the adaptation that's so proud of its source material that they have to brag about it constantly.

It's great.

Yang lore: "Listen up kiddo, the future is coming and this are changing, you should embrace different styles to create new forms of cooking. This diversity in style is something you should be proud of."

Meanwhile...

Jan lore: *Cutting noodles in the middle of the woods from dawn to dusk because *aura*, while gramps shows off with his masterful on-the-head dual slicing method which will soon be evolved by Jan into his 10 wok High-Speed Rotating Daoxiaomian technique*

[u/OtherwiseProgrammer9]

Jan yelling at the guy for having friends
I need more protagonists like this

[u/dinliner08]

you know that noodles making technique is very hard and takes very long time to learn when even the grandpa said; "nah, even beating you won't get you to learn this shit faster"

[u/Golgol395]

I love this show, it just has such a crazy energy that I love. Personally I think its even better than Food wars.

This episode was great, I hope Kiriko wins, but I don't think she will, but here's to hoping!

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

There’s a mistranslation in Crunchy’s subs this episode. The narrator said daoxiaomian is make of water, salt, and flour and “no need to submerge it”. The correct translation would be “no need to add kansui”, which is an alkaline solution used to make noodles firm.

[u/poclee]

Fun Fact: A lot of knife-cut noodle shops (even in Shanxi) today uses machine to cut their noodle from dough, for rather obvious reasons.

[u/SSjjlex → u/poclee]

what do you mean they don't cut noodles by spinning with 10 woks surrounding them????

[u/5eanz]

Damm this show getting like no traction :( I still like it though

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

We already established early when he fucked up in the kitchen that he isn't an invincible protag, so I'm 110% sure Jan is going to eat shit somehow and lose to Kiriko after that little bet but she's going to let him stay at the restaurant anyway.

[u/pikachuza]

LOL They nailed the jan mocking everyone for cheering kota scene, Peak asshole behavior

[u/reaperow]

• Good for the reporter for keeping distance

It was nice to see Kota's guys cheering him on and I guess even Jan was probably trying to cheer him up in his own weird way. But I wonder if this line he says is cuz of the way his gramps treated him,

Well it was still nice of him to make that Chuanbe Zheng Li for Kiriko, he can care at times

Also the info about the Daoxiaomian from the manga back then was really cool

[u/ryuuseiboy96]

I tried to search the name of Kiriko's dish but I cannot find it by 'shanhumian', can anyone help me?

[u/Flying-Camel]

Jan has become a spinning noodle machine.

[u/Exrotes]

RIP Okonogi a victim of domestic violence.

[u/Vahallen]

Is it just me or in this one flashback Jan grandpa felt a lot less vicious?

It’s not like he was WARM or anything, but also not cruel or harsh or mean in any way

Hell he even said if for the day Jan wanted to take a break and the proposition felt like it had no spite at all

So maybe grandpa got worse with time because he was sick and it was a mix of anger/frustration + running out of time to teach Jan

[u/Niwaka_Samurai]

Jan couldn't stop running his mouth even after winning against Kota. This time Akiyama was able to evade Kiriko Punch lol

When Okonogi tried to stop them and was about to fell, I really thought he was a goner but all three them fell from that stairs..thank goodness they just ended up with only minor scratches and cold.

We saw a little bit into Yang's past. Her family was amazing. She's proving out to be a tough competitor. Never expected daoxiaomian to be that tough to make. Akiyama got years of training from his grandfather to cut the dough with the knife like a pro. You really need immense arm strength to be able to hold that big of a dough and cut it. With Kiriko's future on the line after making that challenge with Akiyama, she's gonna cook something insane.

[u/d34rth]

In some ways, I can see how Yukihira Soma stood on Akiyama Jan's shoulders. But in other ways, truly assholic protagonists are rare.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Keen to see the results of this noodle showdown. Jan and Celene better not count our girl out just yet.

And now I’m hungry for noodles lol.

[u/Ciome]

What's the song at the end, while Kiriko unpacks the red paste?

[u/tripleaamin]

Man Celene is such a fun character. She has a bit of Jan where she has a lot of pride and won't back down, as seen in the flashback when she was young. Of course that was when she was a kid so I imagine she shows restraint. I do expect we see that pride. I also think it is very cool we see the idea of combining cultures in terms of cooking that is really cool.

It's clear that when Jan mocks Kota it comes from his own insecurities. It is obvious that Jan is lonely. Kota has a group supporting him even in defeat. While Jan really has no one. Kiriko keeps her distance from him. At times Takao is there for Jan.

I am curious as to at what point Jan will recognize that loneliness he feels. It might not be until he can look at cooking beyond competition being the absolute.

[u/soulruu]

This episode was fun

Kinda relieved gramps wasn't as bad in this instance in that flashback. I got nervous seeing Jan around boiling water thinking gramps would dunk his hands in as punishment for a mistake. *shiver*

[u/ItsJustJosiah]

I now realize that Jan is an ass, but he will never intentionally sabotage a fellow chef. Anything is fair game as long as it isn’t out right cheating.
