I already know that I'm going to be the one person with the unpopular opinion here, but as much as the story's narrative is telling me that I should be rooting for Youngjoon, I find myself preferring Sungyeon more.

maybe ur feeling compassion towards the "abandoned/neglected" child in him, but he isnt the good guy. especially if he (and it looks like he did) didnt only want to get rid of but tried to and almost succeeded in getting rid of his younger brother - all because he was jealous of him. not saying that i hate him cause he was a child and the feeling that ur over looked cause ur not good enough especially if the eldest is a blow in many ways, and he dealt with the situation as a child would (by trying to make the "problem" go away). even get why he hates his brother now that he's an adult, cause nothing has changed. but i would blame the parents not my younger brother. so yeah ur opinions is unpopular for a reason.

To begin, with the information presented so far, this is the current Elite 10:
Seat 1) Yukihira Soma
Seat 2) Isshiki Satoshi
Seat 3) Kuga Terunori
Seat 4) Hayama Akira
Seat 5) Kurokiba Ryô
Seat 6) Nakiri Alice
Seat 7) Takumi Aldini
Seat 8) Eizan Etsuya
Seat 9) Kinokuni Nene
Seat 10) Tadokoro Megumi
Secondly. With regard to the mystery chef calling themself, 'Saiba', we can deduce that its someone who knew Joichiro from his Tôtsuki days. Joichiro is a chef that's doing well for himself, and was opposed to Azami's reforms. Therefore its hard to imagine that he's responsible for all this. He went as far as to wager his principles in cooking and offered to become Azami's puppet if the Rebel faction lost after all. Therefore, I have a feeling that the chef in question is Azami himself. He's someone who had lofty ambitions and knew Joichiro from his Tôtsuki days. Also, the visual information presented tells us that the person claiming the name, Saiba is a man. So, I'm almost certain that Azami is the ringleader.

I thought they would have graduated already:
Seat 2) Isshiki Satoshi
Seat 8) Eizan Etsuya
Seat 9) Kinokuni Nene
Weren't they third years during the tournament, The desert girl and ramen guy aren't in school anymore, did they graduate. I guess I gotta read all the chapters from the beginning. My timeline is messed up.

The 3rd year students in the former Elite 10 were ranked from Seat 1-Seat 5. Just to clarify.
Former Elite 10. The people from the first seat to the fifth seat graduated from Totsuki after the Régiment de Cuisine.
Seat 1)Tsukasa Eishi (3rd year student upon introduction)
Seat 2)Kobayashi Rindou (3rd year student upon introduction)
Seat 3)Megishima Tousuke (3rd year student upon introduction)
Seat 4)Akanegakubo Momo (3rd year student upon introduction)
Seat 5)Saitou Soumei (3rd year student upon introduction)
Seat 6)Kinokuni Nene (2nd year upon introduction)
Seat 7)Isshiki Satoshi (2nd year upon introduction)
Seat 8)Kuga Terunori (2nd year upon introduction)
Seat 9)Eizan Etsuya (2nd year upon introduction)
Seat 10)Nakiri Erina (1st year upon introduction)
Therefore, the current 2nd seat (Satoshi), 3rd seat (Terunori), 8th seat (Etsuya) and 9th seat (Nene) are 3rd year students.

I'm so very happy for Megumi! She's grown considerably in skill and confidence! Its so good to watch her take the initiative and confidently challenge the Underground Chef! I feel like a proud dad marvelling at his daughter's new self-confident and mature self, capable of holding her own as a chef and member of the Elite Ten!!!
Daddy's so proud of ya! (≧∀≦)

I would have liked the story to end with them ending up together, to make me feel better about reading this damn story. Unfortunately, no such luck. Dong-hyuk is a really good guy. I'd never let a guy like him go. I'd give him all the love he deserves. Best wishes Dong-hyuk! May you find a good guy and a happy life!
╥﹏╥

Stop torturing my Dong-hyuk like this, you damn author!!!! (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

Kyungsoo is not better than yule. I hate him for making Dong-hyuk madly in love with him and for rejecting him after he slept with him. And the I hate yule but can’t leave him gets on my nerves.

A part of me can't blame him because of his Stockholm Syndrome and the fact that the jackass was his first love. What I can't stomach is the author trying to make Yule sympathetic and hurting Dong-hyuk, even though he's such a good kid. He's much better than Yule and the asshole author is hurting poor Dong-hyuk. I used to feel bad for Kyung-soo, still do, but his behaviour is irritating me now. I don't care much for him anymore. I just want Dong-hyuk to be happy. ( ̄へ ̄)
1) I really dislike Asahi. I don't know why he's there
2) Erina's parents are a real piece of work. Its no wonder she's the way she is. Smh
