Thankfully, Erina is on the way of redeeming herself. Her backstory already explained why she's so bitchy. Though, I like her since the beginning of the story. Her dynamic with Souma is just hilarious. But I hope she retains her rival role.

Allow me to translate Erina's body language. "Let them eat cake! Oh Ho Ho!"

The royal outfit seems to fit Erina's fiery personality as well as her upper-class standing.

To think the figure articles from yesterday would empty my wallet, but nope. Stop giving me reasons to spend my money.

Interesting timing, considering currently in the manga Soma's spoiler[serving her a slice of humble pie only a chef of his caliber can cook].

I wouldn't really say Soma is serving her that pie, it's more like spoiler[ things out of her control came back to hurt her, Soma has done nothing lately to humble Erina, she is meek now due to situations created by her "abusive" father. I'd humble up real quick if my best friend/ "only" friend was taken away and my cousin had to come save me from being trapped in my room.]

Best Girl Cough Cough!

She's popular by the manga readers, but the anime didn't reach the point where she would become popular by the anime-only viewers. It's funny that Arato beat Alice in popularity by one vote.

If they ever go back and wrap up that arc in the Anime she'll get what she deserves.

Yeah, you're right. It's spoiler[her father] who's doing all this to her, in the end.

Still, no one who sees the state she's in now will see her the way that figurine depicts. Maybe except that man.
