CATDOLL: Japanese media interprets the unique charm of Soma Yukihira, the protagonist of "Food Wars! Soma"

Among the popular new works, "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" is definitely the animation that attracts the attention of countless anime fans. The protagonist of the work, Soma Yukihira, has also left a deep impression on everyone. In this regard, a Japanese media recently interpreted the charm of this character.

1. Cooking experience accumulated since childhood

Soma has been helping out at the restaurant run by his father, Joichiro, since he was a child, and has had many cooking competitions with his father, but he has never won. However, the experience of failure has helped him grow little by little. After entering Totsuki Academy, whenever he encounters a cooking assignment or a food battle, he can flexibly apply the experience he has accumulated before and make unique and creative dishes. And every dish makes the eater feel satisfied.

In addition, since he only learned cooking from his father in a small restaurant, he did not understand the unique cooking methods of Italian and French cuisine. However, the cooking techniques he developed by himself were able to cater to the cooking styles of other countries, which was enough to shock the teachers and other students.

2. Outgoing and cheerful personality

Because he grew up in a restaurant on a shopping street, Soma often had to deal with customers. For this reason, he has very strong communication skills. Even when he just started school and didn't have many friends, as long as he talked to others for a few words, they would immediately become good friends. This is a character with incredible charm. Of course, like his father, he sometimes makes some dark dishes and forces others to eat them...

Even if he fails in a competition, he will not be depressed for a long time. Instead, he will think about the reasons for his failure, actively communicate with his opponent, and cheer up again. Of course, if his restaurant is insulted, Soma will immediately burst into anger. This sense of pride can also reflect the influence of the restaurant, a place that nurtures and trains himself, on Soma.

3. Promoting Common People’s Cuisine to the Elite

In the dishes he makes, there are very few so-called "high-end ingredients". Soma always uses some cheap eggs and meat bought from nearby supermarkets, and then defeats those who have strict requirements on the quality of ingredients in elite schools. Because he is in a small restaurant environment, he requires not only quality but also speed for cooking, so he can always instantly judge what to make, how to make it, and the types of ingredients, so he can effectively carry out appropriate operations.

Although Soma seemed to be the public enemy at school at the beginning, he is now enjoying campus life happily with his roommates and rivals. Let us continue to wait and see how "Soma Yukihira" will grow in the future.
