Fermat's Cuisine Episode 7

Surpassing perfection

Gaku was totally freaked out at presenting his food to his classmate idol. He had the typical nightmare where he was seen as a failure in math and cooking. His friends helped him along to regain his confidence and plan the perfect menu for the event. His sports friend was also dealing with a challenge. She was offered a place in Australia to train as a professional swimmer. Her coach wanted to know why she would pass up such an opportunity to stay in Japan. One word….Gaku. She had always crushed on him and was hoping he would return those feelings. She surprised him with a visit to let him know about the opportunity and he wished her well and rejoiced for her. He asked to swap hoodies, she could only say…Kitada…you are so…Kitada…and laugh and shake hands farewell. He will be her fondest memory and she will be his dearest friend. We meet his HS idol who is a genius for sure, but also an arrogant ass. He chats with girl math genius and proposes most unromantically over the phone because it is most rational.😝 He is surely a piece of work. He is so pompous he doesn’t even realize how absurd he appears. He truly doesn’t care. He has visions of marrying the girl and having Gaku as his assistant to bring math to the world. He truly expects Gaku to follow him to Princeton and be his disciple. 😝 The girl genius sees her fate, and like swimmer girl wished Gaku saw her as a girl.😅She already recognizes his gift for food via math but Mr obtuse is too busy eating gummies. I don’t eat superfluous food when I’m traveling. He was in a five star hotel eating gummies and had the audacity to give his plate to Gaku because he didn’t have time for his dalliance with cooking and fully expected Gaku to leave with him on a big math quest. Gaku is overwhelmed and ready to give up. The entire kitchen rallies and encourages him to go down swinging. Magoroku tells him to figure it out the way he always does. What could he personally create to show idol his new form of math and get him to eat it? He uses the painting on swimmer girl’s hoodie to inspire him. Even Kai rolls up his sleeves to help him. Let’s surpass perfection.😁 The dish he creates wakes up his narcissistic friend. He literally sees and recognizes the math on his plate and sees the potential. He acknowledges that his friend is an equal genius with cooking and that he must master this for the good of the world. It was interesting to see that Gaku saw no math answer from his colleagues. The numbers just piled and disappeared leaving him alone. He shares this with Kai who definitely understands. Kai did not share his own collapse and chat with doc telling him to stop cooking. He did not share this with Ranna either but did inform her that Gaku would be his successor. Kai tells Gaku he will be in charge of restaurant for two weeks while he goes to Paris to open a new location. Gaku said it was all a lie and that it was the last time he saw Kai as the episode ends.
