I actually hated it when it suddenly change but I kinda like it now. I wish they could have provided us 1 season about the elite 10 (maybe S4), since I was really excited on who they are, but their introduction sucked. 

 

But now, I do like how there is this massive plot

I think the problem is that the Elite 10 were an introduced in an OVA, which was a boneheaded move by the anime staff, but even then that was mostly Kuga, Rindou, and Tsukasa’s introductions, with some random banter and names for the others.

They do get some development later...though even in the manga that’s still happening so it’ll be a while still.

But where is this plot even going? It's going to end up in a Shokugeki of Souma vs bad guy. But I don't see the point here. Is that really more exciting than Souma climbing up the ladder? It feels like absolute filler because I am going to predict that once this issue is resolved everything is just going to be back exactly where we were in season 2.

Also the bad guy fails completely on all levels. He's not threatening, annoying, charismatic or even just crazy or evil. He's just some dude. Everything with that guy in it feels like filler.

Is child abuse not evil? :P

My issue with Azami is that he’s basically a real like antagonist thrown into a fantasy setting, and the more sympathetic he acts the more I cringe thinking how he fucked up his daughter’s life. The guy deserves to be in prison and he’s probably just gonna get a talk no jutsu or something.

Shokugeki is a very predictable story, but that’s honestly been the way since the Autumn Elections. Still, no idea how it feels like filler when this plot is basically used to propel Souma into fighting the Elite 10, who have been foreshadowed as villains since Erina’s introduction. I don’t think it’s much of a spoiler to realize Souma and co. will have to fight them before the arc is resolved. If anything, most fans seem to be worried about the opposite...once this arc is done, what ladder is left to climb?
