After overthrowing the former school director Azami Nakiri and his Elite Ten, Souma Yukihira, Erina Nakiri, and the rebellious faction of Tootsuki Culinary Academy anticipated a new challenge: the ultimate culinary competition, BLUE. This event would determine the world's top chefs and, therefore, marked a crucial moment in their journey. Nevertheless, Souma and his comrades were determined to win the BLUE despite the relentless obstacles and adversaries they faced. Their primary obstacle was Asahi Saiba, the leader of Noir, an underworld association of chefs. Asahi had previously defeated Souma and his father in a Shokugeki, making his defeat and conquest even more significant.
