It is but you can also call someone who is beautiful beautiful no love attached ( Erina is acknowledged to be beautiful by everyone so people have called her beautiful other than Soma and Asahi it doesn't mean they are in love with her). You've never called someone beautiful without being in love with them? A friend, a family member, even an acquaintance. Your argument makes no sense. I'm not pretending anything, I'm citing sources and references, you are getting too defensive for no reason. Yes he cares about her we see in manga and anime he cares about her as his rival and his friend. He is a caring person by nature always willing to help out everyone he stuck out his neck to save polar star vs. Previous elite ten, etc. There is no difference in treatment here shown that can indicate 'in love' or ' romantic affection'. I'm not eliminating anything ( again go sort your issues with the author). What proof do you have there was romatic implications when he said it to Erina vs. Megumi he just made a statement? There's no difference, he was shocked since she always scowled at him, he saw her happy for the first time since meeting her and said she looks prettier happy just like he was suprised when he discovered megumi's hospitality and complimented her on it. Yes Erina and her god tongue were his to do what? Love, marry, date, no...because it was useful and she is his rival who he wants to beat and use to enhance his cooking ( enforced in anime). Yes Erina fainted because two boys were arguing over her mostly over the one wanting to marry her that's typical anime girl behavior and she caught the last part of the conversation not the whole part of it, even megumi was blushing shocked by Asahi. I'm not dragging anything down go argue with the author I'm stating facts backed by sources, I do not have any ships in the series and like all the characters Erina is my fav other than Rindo kindly stop making assumptions about me especially since you don't know me. I've been nothing but polite so far the one who's getting disgruntled is you. I didn't say Erina wasn't on his mind I'm saying he doesn't really view her in a romatic light the kind that refers to romantic couple affection. Yes I have said from the beginning if you paid attention that Soma is contemplating that ' I think ' and the next panel is Erina which means there's a possibility I never said there wasn't I said I said he wasn't sure he is taking a guess and in the end the future is up to imagination, he is musing to himself thinking to himself but it doesn't mean he's in love with her, it's not like he said I think I love her, miss her, etc. You can cook for someone without being in love too you know Ryu cooks for Alice, Shinomiya for his mother, there are different kinds of love in the series and he is still considering if Erina is that special someone still considering how he feels or can feel about her. And instead of looking only subjectively at the manga ( because you love the ship so much that you refuse to acknowledge the overall plot and context of the series, take a look at the sources I told you about before and come back to me).
