While the dorm residents lament their fate, Soma obstinately issues a Shokugeki challenge to Eizan for the survival of the dorm . As their Shokugeki begins, Eizan secretly directs his men to forcibly vacate the dorm, aggravating Soma . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 45 </Th> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> "The Alchemist" "Arukimisuta" (錬金術 師 (アルキミスタ)) </Td> <Td> November 22, 2017 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="4"> Soma refuses to be intimidated by Eizan's tactics and continues cooking, infuriating Eizan .
