Food Wars:The Third Plate Headed To Toonami

 

Crunchyroll is bringing the exciting culinary competition show “Food Wars! The Third Plate” to Toonami, the iconic television programming block on Adult Swim, later this month. The third season of Food Wars!: anime television serie was produced by J.C.Staff and directed by Yoshitomo Yonetani.

The linear television premiere of the series will bring all 24 Englishd-dubbed episodes to Toonami, with new episodes airing every Saturday starting on February 27 at 1 AM EST.  “Food Wars!” follows the young Soma Yukihira as he battles to the top of the elite Totsuki Academy.

The third season is broken into two parts. The first covers the Moon Festival when Soma Yukihira challenges Council of Ten Masters member Terunori Kuga to a challenge to see who can raise the most money during the three day event. At the end of the event, Erina Nakiri’s father, Azami Nakiri, appears and takes over the school. He institutes a series of reforms, including the establishment of a new ruling body called the Central Gourmet Institute, and the elimination of all independent groups within Totsuki, including Polaris Dorm. The second part continues with the promotional exams where everyone is guaranteed to pass if they stick to the curriculum and follow Central’s orders. However, Soma’s group is targeted for expulsion because of their successful defense of Polaris Dorm and a few other independent groups. At the end of the second part, Soma’s group of rebels challenges Azami’s group to a Shokugeki, attempting to overthrow Azami.

The news follows the recent announcement that HBO MAX will stream Food Wars: The Fourth Plate on February 15th with an English dubbed adaptation to be made available.
