In the upcoming episode titled "A New Prodigy" of anime series "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" Season 2, also known as "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma: The Second Plate," the judges at the finals of the 43rd Annual Totsuki Autumn Election will begin analysing and grading Soma's recipe.

It is also rumoured that Soma's secret weapon will be revealed in the upcoming episode that Soma had been saving for the finals. Whether this secret weapon will help him win the Shokugeki tournament will be seen once the episode goes on air.

In the previous episode, titled "A Sword that Signals Autumn," the finals of the 43rd Annual Totsuki Autumn Election continued where Ryo Kurokiba presented his dish named Autumn Pacific Saury Cartoccio to the judges.

Afterwards, it was Akira Hayama's turn who prepared a Scorched Pacific Saury Carpaccio. He used Allspice to enhance the powerful aroma of the dish and it seemed that the judges liked Akira's dish over Ryo's Autumn Pacific Saury Cartoccio.

The episode ended with Soma finishing his dish, Salted Rice Brain Pacific Saury Rice, and used his Autumn Blade to improve its presentation. He learnt the recipe from observing Fumio Daimido's pickles. However, much to his disappointment, the judges didn't like his preparation much.

Determined not to give up, Soma then presented the judges with a pot, telling them that they should pause the judging procedure until they taste the contents of the pot. It was revealed that the pot contained soy milk, which Soma added to his dish and came out with a new preparation, called Oja-Style Pacific Curry Takikomi Gohan.

"A New Prodigy" will live stream on Sept. 4 on Crunchyroll. Several rumours have stated that there will be only four more episodes in "Food Wars" Season 2.
