"Shokugeki No Soma" chapter 207 is finally here, and it finally shows the beginning of the ultimate battle for the control of Totsuki Academy. Many fans of the manga may be thinking that the match between the rebels and the Elite are not fair, considering that there are eight in the side of the academy and only four for Soma's side.

But in the latest chapter at Mangatown, readers found out that they will be helped by really talented students, namely former elite members Satoshi Isshiki, Terunori Kuga, Tosuke Megishima and Subaru Mimasaka. In the first three on three battle, Soma is joined by Isshiki and Megishima against sixth seat Kinokuni Nene and two more.

The rebels are clearly the underdogs in the battle, with the emcee even asking the expelled students to watch the food war inside what looks like a prison cell. Soma's foe, Kinokuni, is considered an expert in cooking soba noodle. She was raised in a traditional restaurant and everyone claims no one in the academy is more superior over her when it comes to cooking the noodles.

Just his luck, Soma draws soba as the theme of the battle. Everyone is amazed at Nene's skills in making soba the traditional way, and most are convinced that there is no way Soma could beat her. Especially when Soma announced that he would be making instant yakisoba. "Shokugeki No Soma" chapter 207 ends with Kinokuni noticing that Isshiki is smirking and looking confident despite the odds being in her favor. There is also the appearance of some new characters that will surely bring more drama to the regiment de cuisine.

Meanwhile, Anime News Network reports that a new anime DVD for "Food Wars! Shokugeki No Soma" will be released, this time with a new cast. It will be released on July 4 and will be included in the 25th manga volume.
