Earlier today, fans flocked to the annual Jump Festa event, which was hosting (among many other things) a stage presentation for Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma. During the show, the event staff revealed that the second half of the current season, Food Wars! The Third Plate (Food Wars! San no Sara) will hit Japanese TV in April 2018.
The new season will follow the “Tōtsuki Train” (Tōtsuki Ressha) arc. A visual and trailer for the cour were also unveiled. The trailer cuts between the major players at this point, with bits of teaser text spread between the shots.
