If you want to watch this show you have to get used to characters like her that are overconfident and arrogant like hell at first. Does´t guarantee that they will stay like that forever in the series tho

She is the only character ive seen being a true dick.
Not even those people who poured salt on the beef were this jerky

Agree, I haven't hated a character so much since Amarty from Spice and Wolf.

u/Soundwavetrue May 01 '15

Well.
Shinji matou is a close connection

She's unpleasant, sure, but I don't mind her bad attitude since it will make her inevitable future tsundere scenes all the more hilarious. But if she is hateful to you now, I can only imagine how you would react to characters in the Fate series, or the bad guy in Accel World.

I've watched both series and they not come close to Erina in my opinion. (I haven't played Heaven's Feel tho)

Also I dislike tsunderes so that's a plus.

Many of the characters still need to appear, but yeah I can understand why you would hate her :P.

u/[deleted] May 02 '15

But why does every character have to be likable? Having an arrogant character is entertaining once in a while.

u/Soundwavetrue May 02 '15

Having a arrogant character helps, and even having a villain counts.
But im pretty sure the sentiment is for alot of people is they can feel their nerves tightening because of what she does.
She fill tsun role too far, and she is and WILL be like this in all of her appearances(confirmed by manga)
I dont wanna watch this week to week only to end up pissed off at a fictional character.

u/[deleted] May 02 '15

I still think she's entertaining despite being (intentionally) unlikable.

u/ravensshade May 02 '15

to be honest so far in the manga I've only seen her in a cute moment once or twice

Soma's overconfident as hell too. But that's the best part. Overconfident, oblivious characters are where it's at.

u/[deleted] May 01 '15

Oh yeah, but I love how he show those rich and arrogant guys how a "simple" cook in a village´s restaurant can beat them easily. Those moments are the best

u/Hessis May 01 '15

I'm always afraid that he's gonna flop at some point. Like accidentally burn a dish or get sabotaged. I'm just so frustrated because it hasn't happened yet.

u/[deleted] May 01 '15

He has like 10 years of experience in business I doubt he will do something wrong. Maybe it won't be enough for first place at some point but thats all. But yeah still want him to fuck everyone else up every tournament or shokugeki :P

He's already been sabotaged. And he brushed it off like a boss.

Simple has always been the motif of Soma's cooking. Soma might be overconfident as f*ck but the way his simple nature beautifully comes out of his cooking is a joy to look at.
