Fermat's source manga has a rather odd serialisation, since it was a side project for mangaka Kobayashi Yuugo while they worked on their mainline series, soccer manga Ao Aoshi.
There were pretty long gaps between some chapters at time (longest was about 1 year and several months) although now that Ao Aoshi is over, it looks like the mangaka has gone back to doing Fermat. https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/title/00691/episode/283361 Fermat is still ongoing as of this post, with no end in sight just yet. So I do wonder if the anime will only cover up to a certain point of the manga, or come up with it's own ending. |

Chef 
My take is that he failed as a mathlete because the competition stifled him, and the expectations placed on him in school derailed his creativity. He sees math as fun, not a means of proving one's superiority, or keeping a scholarship. In the kitchen, while it appears to be a very competitive atmosphere, he's not approaching it that way. He just wants people to like his food, and math is his path to that, the kitchen his opportunity to be creative and learn new things that he can use in new ways. The pressure isn't about being the best (to him at least) but not to get sent home and lose that opportunity. It's not pressure per se that's his block, but what the pressure is being applied to do. In school, it was pressure to conform, to perform, to beat everyone else, something that wasn't fun for him. In the kitchen, it's pressure to create and give people the pleasure of amazing food, which is very much fun for him. Even if some anxiety is involved, the end result is worth it to him, where it wasn't in the academic math challenges. |
