Episode 4 showed how Subaru was able to defeat Takumi with his improvised fried egg and lemon curd. It may not have been a surprise for avid viewers and manga readers as the former is known for scrutinizing his opponent before the face-off begins. This strategy led Subaru to victory in his match with Takumi.

In light of the previous event, some shed interest on how Soma would fare with the dangerous opponent once they face each other in battle. The last episode already started the match between the said characters.

If the succeeding events would be patterned after manga, there is a possibility Soma would be asking reinforcement from Erina in preparing his famous Beef Stew. The latter has been awarded with God's Tongue, a recognition given to those who have the best palate in the world.

Several predictions for the upcoming events in episode 6 were given by some followers. User andreyumeftw hinted in a discussion thread at Reddit that a "creepy" scene will be featured where Subaru is seen stalking Mitsuru. In reply to the comment, user UnAwkwardMango added another spoiler suggesting there will be a conversation between Subaru and another character which goes like, "I'm ahead of you by 10 years Senpai!"

On the other hand, a separate discussion at Manga Helpers hinted a possible collaboration between Erika and Soma may happen in preparing the latter's Beef Stew dish. The said dish, already improvised by Erika, will be prepared by Soma during his face-off with Subaru. Users from the said forum are very much looking forward for the team-up to happen.

Other details will be revealed once episode 6 of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" season 2 airs. For other speculations surrounding the upcoming installment, watch its preview's video clip below.
