With Souma Yukihira, Erina Nakiri, and the insurgent forces that toppled Azami Nakiri—the former headmistress—and the erstwhile Elite Ten, Tootsuki Culinary Academy has returned to normalcy. Yet its pupils face another decisive duel: the BLUE, a contest where aspiring chefs vie for international renown. Confronted by fresh challenges and adversaries, Souma and his companions will battle to win the BLUE and overcome Asahi Saiba, commander of the clandestine chef syndicate Noir, who previously bested Souma and his father in a Shokugeki, in the bustling city of Tokyo, where culinary legends are forged for gastronomy and innovation of excellence.
