Dear admin and king julian 13th. I'm terribly sorry if I had offended you but the truth is it's not canon it is a fanon. I have nothing against the ship and my factual observation seems to offend you're die hard love for the ship but allow me to explain why this is a fanon and not a canon ship. 1. We are not shown in the manga the ship culminating in a relationship, they aren't dating/ married/ or even admitting their in love ( I love this person I want to cook with them forever or for them, etc. something along those lines). 2. We only have 1 confirmed relationship which is hayama who is married in the manga ( wedding ring scene) and confirmed in the fanbook. 3. As someone who owns a translated copy of the fanbook again the only romantic relationship the author stated was hayama who is married. And that erina and soma may start feeling something for each other. 4. The author had 315.5 chapters and a fanbook to make it canon ( married, dating, I love you, something) but he didn't because it was never something he focused on instead he was inspired by the Macross ending and incorporated some elements from that anime/ manga. 5. Tsukada also said in a previous interview was that he initially wanted soma with megumi which is why they were in many scenes and such together before central and only later started to grow interested in Erina ( we don't see much of erina prior to central ark) and Soma has had many romantic interest in him from obvious characters prior ( megumi - especially in manga, ikumi, and mayumi). 6. The interview before or around the time of le dessert tsukada said he wanted them marry but didn't include that in any of his written works and the last interview when the fanbook was published he then said he mainly intended for duos for shokugeki purposes not romantic partners and that he was interested in a Macross like ending...be happy to find and post the links for interviews if you don't believe me. So you see unless its inked on paper or in a work it's not canon because perceptions can always change, I can say I want to fly to the moon and breathe in space all I want but it won't happen will it. Also the series is based in shounen, humor, and slice of life so romance was never really a priority.
