The new anime seems to be trying to catch up with the manga so we can expect to see some new content including Soma and Erina getting closer to each other. Erina’s father also takes over as headmaster of the school which pushes Erina towards making an alliance with Soma to resist her father’s new rules. The Polar Star Dormitory is also threatened by Eizan Etsuya who wants to shut it down and we see Soma challenge him to a battle in order to protect their dorm. In any case, this will be an exciting third season!
