The release of “Shokugeki no Soma” chapter 295 has apparently been affected by multiple weeks of hiatus. But once the manga series returns, the wait could be worth it considering the possible outcome of the current duel between Soma and Sarge.
It can be recalled that Soma and Sarge are currently fighting over who made the best Christmas cake perfect for a midsummer holiday. Based on the events from the latest available manga chapter, “Shokugeki no Soma” chapter 295 will most likely reveal who wins.
However, since “Shokugeki no Soma” chapter 295 is not expected to drop until next week, fans have started speculating on the duel’s result. It is not surprising that more manga readers are betting on Soma’s win. Aside from Soma being the main protagonist in the series, the chances of him winning this duel were somewhat foreshadowed by the previous events.
The judges were obviously impressed with the fact that Soma did not use any sugar on his cake so he can make the taste lighter, thus, matching the midsummer weather. Based on the presentation and the flavor, the judges agreed that Soma’s and Sarge’s cakes are equally great. However, Soma has another surprise that is possibly the tie-breaker in “Shokugeki no Soma” chapter 295.
Sarge was highly insulted when the judges commented that her cake and Soma’s are on the same level of greatness. However, amid Sarge’s whining, Soma corrected the judges and said they have not even tasted the firework balls yet. These were initially thought as simple decorations for Soma’s cake but it turns out that these edible decors can lead to Soma’s official win in “Shokugeki no Soma” chapter 295. The upcoming installment will also reveal how Soma made these firework balls and what emotions would these bring to the judges upon tasting it.
As mentioned, there have been several weeks of delay from the release of chapter 294 until “Shokugeki no Soma” chapter 295 is dropped. Fans noted that the latter will probably become available along with the next issue of Weekly Shonen Jump slated on Jan. 21.
