Episode Title:The Banquet of Warriors.Episode Description:Akira's dish, which has a powerful fragrance and uses the power of holy basil and yogurt, earns a score of 94 from the judges. Finally, Soma presents his own dish, combining his past two failures into a fragrant curry risotto omurice containing a mango chutney. The dish earns Soma 93 points, landing him second place behind Akira. However, it is noted that although Akira received a higher score overall, three of the five judges ranked Soma's dish higher than Akira's, with the implication being that in a Shokugeki, this would have given Soma the victory. Later, during the Polar Star dorm afterparty, Soma becomes determined to improve his cooking finesse.
