Drop In
You have stepped foot into the world of high class cooking, a world filled with delicious morsels and
dishes of every variety. Each and every bit of food here has been painstakingly studied, created,
recreated, and improved, all using a set process and all for the purpose of creating the best dishes in the
world. You however, like Yukihia Soma, are an unknown factor, transferring into the academy as a firstyear student after passing youe cooking exam.
Elite Gourmet
In the world of gourmet cooking, there is an order to things. A line, separating the extravagant and
refined from the puerile mish-mash of the masses, has been set, and you come from the former. Drilled
into you from childhood, you have learned that true food is borne from order, precision, class, and a
finely tuned taste for the exquisite only available to the elites of society. You have been within Tōtsuki
walls since middle school and have learned the skills necessary to begin your venture towards the
epitome of haute cooking.
Family Restaurant
The quality of food is barely the beginning of cooking. When people are hungry, they expect food to be
abundant and they expect to have it now. A family restaurant is the perfect breeding ground for a chef
that can do this, requiring its members to cook as much food as possible as quickly as possible. You, who
have been born in the midst of the kitchen, exemplify these skills, working together with those around
you to provide quality food in desirable quantities. However, here at Tōtsuki your position is often
looked down upon, even during middle school, which has created an urge to prove yourself amongst
your peers.
Hard Life Chef
The life of a chef is fraught with difficulty and harsh critics, no more so than at Tōtsuki Academy where
even a single failed dish could mean expulsion. But you have lived through an even harsher life, one
filled with criticism of your entire self and your meaning. Beaten and ignored, and finally given a chance
to excel at something, you pour all of yourself into your cooking, intent on perfecting yourself alongside
your skill. Finally, having been brought to Tōtsuki Academy, you hope to discover all there is to your own
cooking, as well as youself.

Visualization: In this world cooking has reach a new level. A level where the food itself brings about a
sensation similar to a visualization of the food, its ingredients, and even the chef’s intention when
making said food. A simple spring roll might bring about the visage of spring itself, a hamburger might
bring about the sensation of riding a bull. All this and more are possible, with exceptional chefs being
able to define the images and sensations experience by their customers. The power of these images also
increases with the pleasure of eating your food, and food that is of high enough level will even give
them (figurative) orgasms that seem to encompass their entire body with your cooking. Also comes with
cooking skills necessary to attend Tōtsuki Academy High School.

Regional Specialty 100cp: Cooking across the globe has been sectioned off by region, with each culture
partaking in its own style of food. The French, the Chinese, the Italians, and far more all have their own
food, each made in their own way, each bringing to the surface a different quality or flavor. You, too,
have your own style inherited from a region of the world. Choose a single region of the world, and the
skill to make that regions food will be yours. You will know how to create a variety of their foods and will
find your skill in that area seems to grow faster than others, truly making it into your specialty. May be
purchased more than once.
Impactful Taste 200cp: A meal without taste can barely be called a meal at all. The priority of a chef is to
create food that is, in essence, palatable, with more overwhelmingly delicious food often considered the
best. With your cooking, this essence of intense taste can be felt from the first bite. You understand the
impact of taste, and within each of the dishes you make you can force the taste to the surface. This
doesn’t necessarily mean that your food is heavy or overwhelming, but rather that it has a sort of
pleasant impact that signifies just how tasty and flavorful it really is.
Shokugeki Learner 400cp: The basis for Tōtsuki Academy is none other than the infamous Shokugeki.
The term is derived from the Japanese kanji 食, meaning food, and 戟, meaning Ji, which is a specific
Chinese polearm. The two combined, in essence, mean Food Wars, a staple event of the academy
necessary to further one’s skills and to join the Elite 10. While the event is often prefaced with
difficulties between the participants, each intent on settling a score, for you it is something greater. Your
ability to learn through these battles is tremendous, allowing you to learn from your opponent and
expand your own skills far faster than you would be able to on your own just by cooking against them.
The Young Asura 600cp: Yukihira Soma’s father, Saiba Jōichirō, was nicknamed the Demon due to his
skill in cooking, as well as his unusual penchant for creating new and untested dishes during Shokugeki’s.
His son has followed closely in his footsteps, and many of Jōichirō’s former friends and acquaintances
could see the resemblance in features and personality, not to mention skill in the kitchen. With this, you
too shall be seen as a Young Asura on par with Yukihira Soma. You skill in cooking is bolstered to a
tremendous degree, allowing you to create dish after dish of near indescribably tasty morsels. More
than that, however, is that your cooking will forever continue to evolve through your experiences,
becoming newer and better as you experience new food and adventures. Truly, one day you may earn
the full title of Demon.
Elite Gourmet
Tools Make the Chef 100cp: A chef is nothing without his tools. Rather, a tool is nothing without a skilled
chef to wield it. In the world of high-end cooking there exists innumerable ways to prepare and create
food, ranging from smoking food to bring out its flavor, using a convection oven properly to bring out its
juiciness, or even using a fire to bring about a nice, crunchy surface to the food. Even outside of heating
there exists a multitude of methods, such as using a centrifuge to separate the glutamate from a tomato
or using a mezzaluna to chop vegetables. There is a variety of tools to be used by a chef, and each one
must specialize. Choose any tool to specialize in, whether it be a type of knife or type of freezer or oven
does not matter as long as it is beyond the norm. You will be especially skilled in the use of said tool and
will, in time, become a master of its use to such a degree as to be mind boggling. May be purchased
more than once.
Picky Eater 200cp: While a decent meal can be made from subpar ingredients, and in some cases they
may be required, it is generally optimal to use the freshest ingredients available. After all, the crispy
crunch of fresh lettuce combined with the juicy, umami taste of a tomato is splendid. But in order to
create optimal meals with optimal ingredients requires a vast degree of knowledge of said ingredients.
Knowledge you happen to have. You know of nearly every variety of vegetable, fruit, or root available,
when they are fresh, where to get them, and even the proper way to prepare them and a nigh-perfect
sense for which ingredients go well with each other.
Gastronomy 400cp: At Tōtsuki Academy during the middle school years the students are taught the very
beginnings of gastronomy, a topic so vast it would be ill spoken to give only a single definition. However,
to put it simply gastronomy is the study of food and its interactions with the world, on both a cultural
and scientific level. Where the food comes from, how it gets its taste, what effects it has on the body,
and so many more complicated topics are contained underneath this singe word. For you, your
education of the gastronomical from Tōtsuki Academy has given you a great deal of knowledge about all
of the listed traits. More than that, you have also learned the art of medicinal food to an extent,
allowing you to create dishes that ease the stomach and rejuvenate the energy of the body, making
even the deathly ill or the elderly feel young and healthy. There are even rumors that such techniques,
when mastered, can truly heal the body as well, but whether this is truth or mere superstition is for you
to find out.
God’s Tongue 600cp: Nakiri Erina, possessor of the famous God’s Tongue, said to have come from God
himself. With it, she was capable of discerning not only every ingredient within a dish, but also how
fresh they were, the method used to cook it, for how long, and more. The side effect of this, however,
was that she not only had zero preferences for the type of food, but also that her standard for food
began at a level unreachable for the average chef and, in fact, most skilled chefs as well. You, too, have
been born with God’s Tongue, allowing you to discern nearly everything there is that composes a meal.
What’s more, you will always know how to improve upon the dish in some way, to make it greater than
it was before. Should this be combined with sufficient knowledge of cooking methods and ingredients,
you would truly have the perfect method of improvement. After all, only the finest of meals will satisfy.
Family Restaurant
Kitchen Basics 100cp: A chef needs experience in the kitchen. However, it isn’t as simple as that. A chef
at your average diner, even if he had the basic cooking skills, wouldn’t be able to work at a high-class
French restaurant and vice versa. The same is also true for chefs that cook at a hibachi not being able to
translate their skills to other locations, as each one has its own set of skills necessary to succeed. In a
diner speed is key, while in a French restaurant skill is king, and a hibachi chef needs to remain
entertaining. Choose any type of restaurant. You have the necessary skills to work efficiently at said
restaurant without issue, and can more easily train yourself to cook in a manner similar to what you
have picked. May be purchased more than once.
Chopping Speed 200cp: Working at a restaurant requires the ability to prepare ingredients for cooking
quickly and precisely. The vegetables need to cut and chopped in a certain manner, and within a certain
time, so as to be ready for the grill, oven, or whatever else. Thankfully, your years of experience have
given you the speed and skill necessary to prepare your ingredients incredibly quickly and precisely,
allowing you to chop up onions, peel carrots or potatoes, shred cheese, or anything else that needs to
be done in preparation.
Perfect Trace 400cp: Psychological warfare has made its way to the table with Mimasaka Subaru’s
ability. By sufficiently analyzing his opponents, Mimasaka was capable of entering a state of mind where
he “became” his opponent, allowing him to predict what they were going to cook during a Shokugeki
and even create the same dish as them in the same exact way. He beat them, however, by taking the
duplicated dish and improving upon it in some way, bringing out more of the dish’s strengths while
extinguishing its weaknesses. You, too, now have this ability, allowing you, after studying your opponent
and learning enough about them, to enter a state where you “become” them, giving you access to their
knowledge and allowing you to predict their next move. Whether you capitalize on improving their meal
or not, or whether you can improve it enough, is up to you.
Style Fusion 600cp: Takumi Aldini, as well as his brother Isami, were an Italian and Japanese mix, and on
several occasions used their Italian and Japanese ethnic and cooking roots to create a fusion between
the two. During the Autumn Election they both made use of this ability to create different fusion dishes,
a curry bread calzone that fused together the idea of curry and that of a calzone, as well as a napolitan
curry fettucine, a dish that fused the ideas of napolitan and fettucine pasta together with curry. Each
instance was a near perfect example of crossing different cultural foods, a skill you have also acquired.
Whatever your chosen regional specialty, you have the ability to fuse it with a different cultural base,
such as French and Chinses or Russian and Latin American, all without losing that special bit that makes
each variant unique from one another. With this, the dishes you make will show true skill and
understanding of your cooking heritage as well as your own versatility as a cook.
Hard Life Chef
I’ll Order a Pizza 100cp: Food comes in many varieties. There are soups and noodles, steaks and burgers,
cake and fish, the list goes on. But usually a chef has a best dish that they can make. Maybe they can
bring out the tenderness and umami of a steak, or make a cake that is soft and sweet with a spongy in
texture. Regardless, it is what they excel at, more than any other kind of food. Choose a type of food as
your specialty. Your skill with the chosen specialty is a cut above the rest of your skills, being more easily
made, improvised, improved, and what have you. In time, expect to be known as a master of your
specialty, and possibly even a moniker such as Master of Noodles.
Choice Cuts 200cp: Slicing and dicing apart meat is customary for a great deal of dishes in order to make
easily handled and cooked bite-sized pieces. This is especially done for things like fish, which can tend to
have a great number of tiny bones that can create choking hazards when consumed. As such, the ability
to cut the meat from the source with speed and proficiency is a highly desired trait, one that has
manifested within you. You are able to cut meat and select the best parts of it for a specific dish in an
incredibly short time, with enough skill to butcher animals such as the goosefish near flawlessly, a fish
known for its difficulty during butchering due to the requirement that it must be hanging.
Images of Jumper 400cp: The food of a chef, especially at Tōtsuki, must be unique. More than that,
however, it must have a taste that is uniquely “you”. When eaten, those eating it must be able to
envision the chef in question, as if the food itself was made from their own essence and qualities as a
chef. While many have difficulty achieving this, there are some who have little difficulty at all, such
Hayama Akira, who was able to put as much of himself into his meals as he could due to his past history
and how much cooking meant to him as a person. You, like him, are able to put yourself into your
cooking, making it uniquely you and identifiable to all who eat it. More than that, you are able to
innovate with your meals in such a way that they can only be described as novel, and are
overwhelmingly only meals that you alone could make.
Godly Fragrance 600cp: Taste is not the end all, be all of food. In fact, one of the most important aspects
of food is also its smell and fragrance, as the concept of flavor is a combination between the two.
Although many are unaware of this simple fact, people like Hayama utilize this concept to the extreme,
making it as much a part of their cooking as the taste and texture. While seemingly unique in this
manner, Hayama is now rivaled by another. You. Like him, you have not only a godlike nose capable of
picking out the best fish from a fish market but also the ability to bring out the fragrance of your dishes,
making them so fragrant as to set an entire crowd’s mouths watering with desire. This fragrance, while
nice, will have the added effect of enhancing the flavor of your cooking, accentuating whatever taste it
has and skyrocketing it to a new level of deliciousness.

Drawbacks:
No limits of drawbacks, take as many as you like
Entrance Exam +100cp: Normally you would start after the entrance exam to Tōtsuki Academy and
begin as a high school student. Things have changed. You must now test your skills during an entrance
exam making a meal for the esteemed Nakiri Erina, the holder of God’s Tongue. She doesn’t have to like
it, it just needs to be acceptable. Of course, her standards for acceptable are higher than most. If you fail
you will be forbidden from entering Tōtsuki Academy at all, even as a guest.
Not Enough Spices +100cp: Anyone who tastes your food will always have incredibly harsh criticism
about its taste, texture, appearance, and more, regardless of how good it is, though they will still vote
for it during Shokugeki’s as normal. This criticism will never be helpful or positive, and it will hurt you
emotionally a small bit each time.
Rising to Perfection +100cp: You will be obsessed with attaining a spot in the Elite 10 of Tōtsuki,
specifically the first spot. You will constantly badger its members for Shokugeki’s, even when you know
you aren’t capable of winning, and each loss will hurt you emotionally a great deal. If you do reach the
top spot, you’ll be challenged to a Shokugeki for the position daily and you’ll accept a challenge every
time, even if it hurts your schedule.
I Taste Nothing +200cp: Your time as a chef is over. Any food you cook will be absolutely flavorless and
have a bad texture, regardless of appearance. Expect to flunk out almost immediately.
Battle for Your Home +200cp: Every month you will be challenged to a Shokugeki with your attendance
at Tōtsuki on the line. You must accept each time, and for each one you beat the next one will be
significantly better. In order to remain at this academy you must improve yourself continuously, but in
your case you must also do it quickly, or else the new chefs will quickly outpace you. You also receive
nothing for winning these Shokugekis.
The Ultimate Shokugeki +300cp: At the end of your 10 years you will face Saiba Jōichirō to a Shokugeki.
This isn’t the normal Saiba Jōichirō, however, as he has since completely mastered the art of cooking,
having incorporated nearly every regional cooking style, food type, tools, and more into his repertoire,
and he will present to the judge his greatest dish, the greatest dish ever made. In order to win, you will
need to do the same as he and incorporate nearly every human cooking skill into a single dish, and then
make it better than before. Should you fail at this final test your chain is over, and you’re going home.
