* [[Boring Invincible Hero]]: Averted. Souma not only loses one of his earliest matches (though it's technically a tie, but only because several of the judges were very generous due to his team being students going up against an accomplished professional chef), but he's lost almost 500 cooking competitions to his father. His confidence and drive are actually ''built on failure'' rather than cruising through life succeeding at everything he tries.

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: While he was never shown to be a moron, per se, Isami Aldini is introduced as [[The Rival|Takumi Aldini's]] tagalong [[The Big Guy|fat brother]] and [[Sidekick]]. When he shows up for the Autumn Election, he's lost a ton of weight (which he apparently does every summer due to heat exhaustion) and gotten quite serious about showing his brother just what a great chef he is. {{spoiler|He surpasses not only his brother, but most of the other competitors.}}

* [[Dramatic Irony]]: Erina, [[Rich Bitch]] that she is, absolutely refuses to acknowledge Souma's talent because he's a "commoner" who doesn't come from a pedigree she considers worthy enough. Except we the audience know that Souma is the son of the man she has [[Hero Worship]] and [[Puppy Love]] feelings towards, and is in fact one of the finest chefs in the world.
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Never let it be said that the fanservice in this manga is one-sided. While some of the male near-nudity is obviously meant as [[Fan Disservice]], there's also plenty of shots of very attractive men wearing little to nothing.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Some of the food reactions are this and [[Fanservice]] simultaneously.
