At first, Azami’s character was greyed out in the OP for the Third Plate anime, but showed up in Episode 5 and was voiced by Sho Hayami of Assassination Classroom and Bleach fame.

The third season covered both the Moon Banquet Festival and the most of the Central story arc from the manga series. The story of the Third Plate anime rushed through the available source material with only 12 episodes. Shokugeki no Soma Manga Enough For Food Wars! Season 4? Anime fans can go read the English translation of Food Wars! Volume 15 to find out what they missed. Unfortunately, none of the legal English sub streaming sites like Crunchyroll carry the OVA episode. The reason for this is because the Elite Council of Ten was already introduced during the Food Wars! OVA called “Totsuki’s Elite Ten,” which was sold with the limited edition of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Volume 25. Yes, Terunori Kuga and Rindo Kobayashi were shown in the initial episodes, but the flashback felt rushed in comparison to how other foes of Soma were handled. The one issue that jumped out at fans of the manga is that the Third Plate opened up without providing a lengthy introduction of the Elite Council of Ten members. Without getting into major spoilers, Totsuki Academy will see many changes and the school will be divided into factions fighting for the soul of the culinary industry. The plot of the Third Plate started simmering with the introduction of the Elite Council of Ten characters during the Moon Banquet Festival, but events will come to a boil quickly when Erina’s father, Azami Nakiri, enters the scene. Called Shokugeki no Soma: San no Sara – Toutsuki Ressha-hen, or Food Wars! The Third Plate – Totsuki Express, the official announcement at Jump Festa 2018 confirmed that the fourth season will continue the story of Soma Yukihira, Erina Nakiri, and other characters during the Promotion Exams story arc. The Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Season 4 release date will definitely be on the calendar for any anime fan desiring a visual feast.
