The "Totsuki Train" arc will send the first year students of the Totsuki Culinary Academy to Hokkaido for their promotion exams. However, the rebellious students who opposed Central will be given some handicaps to set them up for failure. They will, unsurprisingly enough, make it through the first stage.

The students will then be split into different trains, and this time the rebellious students will be forced into a train that will make pit them against the Elite 10 Council. Will Soma and his friends be able to advance further from this point?

On the other hand, the final episode of the first half has also just revealed that Erina Nakiri's father and Soma's father were both part of the Polar Star's Golden Generation in the past. Moreover, Azami Nakiri revered Joichiro Yukihira, formerly known as Joichiro Saiba, and his cooking above everyone else.

What happened between Joichiro and Azami back then? Will this revelation lead to more significant developments in the upcoming new arc?

Fans will be able to find out the answers when "Food Wars! The Third Plate" returns in April 2018.
