The chosen secret ingredient for their match is Apples .
The episode highlights Megumi's significant character development, specifically her training under the "master" and her ability to stand toe-to-toe with a high-ranking Elite Ten member.
Momo, a master of desserts and "cuteness," prepares an elaborate apple-based dish that focuses heavily on scent and visual presentation.
Viewers on platforms like Reddit and GameFAQs noted that the pacing felt faster than previous seasons, with a heavy emphasis on "foodgasms" and flashbacks rather than the full cooking process. However, many praised Megumi's "sports manga"-style training arc and the creative presentation of the dessert dishes.
