Shokugeki no Soma Season 4 is surrounded by a lot of theories. Fans know the new season will continue the adventure Erina Nakiri, Soma Yukihira, and other characters during the Promotion Exams story arc.
According to TV Overmind, Shokugeki no Soma Season 4 will feature the development of other characters aside from Soma and Erina. Fans are about to learn more things about the others to put a wider depth into the series.
Surely, Soma will continue to face a lot of challenges on Shokugeki no Soma Season 4. His skill development will probably improve. But just like any other games, he is set to win and lose. As J.C. Staff remains mum about the new season's details, it is not yet revealed if there is anyone who will come or leave the show.
Also, Shokugeki no Soma Season 4 will also feature the gradually evolving relationship of Soma and Erina. However, it may cause trouble to Tadokor and Soma. But, there are theories the show's writers may put a surprising twist to this storyline that may shock everyone. People behind the series are said to be building big anticipation on the new installment by keeping the translation process slow.
Meanwhile, Empire Movies reported Shokugeki no Soma Season 4 has a lot of source materials to use to tell its story. Fans felt the previous season was rushed by featuring only 12 episodes, which already covered two story arcs from the manga series - the Moon Banquet Festival and Central Story arc.
Season 1 covered the first 60 chapters in eight volumes, while Season 2 featured 61 chapters through 117 in six volumes and ended with Volume 14. So, there are theories Shokugeki no Soma Season 4 will have 24 episodes by featuring the Third Plate that has 54 chapters.
