The newcomers’ battle finals have begun. Kuroyanagi explains that the candidates will be divided into two blocks (block A and block B). Each block will have sixteen candidates. The thirty-two candidates will compete against each other in a tournament system. Since fifty-eight candidates have passed the preliminaries, another preliminaries will be held until there are only thirty-two candidates left.
Then four disqualified candidates appeared at the door. They were not satisfied with the results of the preliminaries. Kuroyanagi only gave them a note with the sentence “You’ve failed, garbage!” written on it. Kuroyanagi replied that he’d show the trash (he was referring to the disqualified candidates) the disqualified results of the trash they have produced. Two men dressed in black took out three garbage cans filled with moldy bread. Kuroyanagi continued his “lecture” (insults) and said to one of the disqualified candidates (Umino Katsuo of the Tsugaru branch) that he remembers his bread really well. Because, at the grading stage of the bread, it was his bread that left him with the memory of the most unpleasant bread he had ever tasted. Kuroyanagi said to Umino Katsuo he is trash, because he only thought of clearing the topic and didn’t consider the taste. Kazuma asked Kuroyanagi to give them a second chance, but Kuroyanagi refused. Umino admits he is trash and begged Kuroyanagi to give him another chance. He said he’ll do anything, but Kuroyanagi finds him annoying and ordered his men to throw him out. Umino was very persistent and refused to leave. Kuroyanagi told him to quiet down and said to him and the three other candidates to show him their determination. If one of them is willing to eat their own “trashy” bread, Kuroyanagi will think about giving them a second chance.
The three others refused, but Umino was willing to eat the bread. He walked to the garbage cans and was able to identify his own bread by its smell. The manager noticed that Umino has an incredible nose. Umino was about to eat the moldy bread, but was stopped by Kazuma. He said to Kuroyanagi that this should be enough, because Umino already showed his determination. The manager pretended to be Meister Kirisaki and told Kuroyanagi to give Umino another chance. He couldn’t fool Kuroyanagi though. Then the manager reminded Kuroyanagi that he too was once in a situation like Umino’s. Two years ago Kuroyanagi begged the manager to make him a student of his. The manager blackmailed Kuroyanagi a bit, so Kuroyanagi had to give in. When Umino asked Kazuma why he helped him, Kazuma replied that he reminded him of the pig, Sanpi, they keep at home.
The topic for the second preliminary is butter rolls. Kuroyanagi’s assistants pushed out a table with eight different varieties of butter (A-H). It ranges from the world’s best butter to regular home consumption butter. The candidates are not allowed to taste the butter and have a time limit of three hours to make the butter roll. Kazuma can’t tell the difference between the butter so he decided to just go with the C butter. The other candidates recognised Kazuma as the boy who came to a draw with St. Pierre’s manager, Mokoyama, and decided to follow his decision. Kuroyanagi is disappointed with Kazuma’s decision, because C butter is trash it can’t be even called butter.
Umino used his nose to sniff the butter and decided to go with the A butter. Kuroyanagi is impressed with Umino’s decision, because A butter is Echire butter --> the best butter in the world. Kawachi still hasn’t decided which butter he should use. He saw how Umino picked the A butter, but was still a bit hesitant. Then he noticed that all the butter has melted except for the G butter. Kawachi realised something and decided to go with the G butter. According to Kuroyanagi, the G butter is even more suitable for the butter roll than the A butter, because G butter has a low water content. The taste of the bread will not be overpowered by it and it reduces the weak point of the butter roll, it’s stickiness. Kazuma surprised everyone by finishing his butter roll in three minutes. After all the candidates finished their butter roll, Kuroyanagi announced the results. The candidates who chose the G butter and the A butter have all passed, which comes to a total of twenty-nine candidates plus Suwabara, who was exempted from the preliminaries because he is an employee of the main store, comes to a total of thirty candidates. The thirteen candidates who chose the C butter are all disqualified, because C butter is margarine and not butter. The candidates were mad at Kazuma and wanted him to apologize. Suwabara stood up for Kazuma and told the candidates to stand back. Suwabara was disgusted by them, because they only depend on other people’s choice instead of their own strength. Suwabara then told Kuroyanagi that an artisan of his level didn’t even notice Kazuma’s “Ultra C”. 
Kuroyanagi then realised what Kazuma did and told him to hand over his bread. After tasting it, Kuroyanagi let Kazuma pass the preliminaries. Apparently Kazuma reversed the handicap of the C butter by applying “vapor action”. The butter roll is normally baked for about fifteen minutes at a temperature less than 200 °C. But if you expose it to a super high temperature of over 300 °C for the short period of three minutes, it would make the water content within the bread dough explode instantly, causing the bread to puff up and be done. Timing is crucial, because if you go over the time period the bread will burn. After eating Kazuma’s tasty margarine roll Kuroyanagi didn’t want to sully his mouth by tasting the other candidates “trash” breads and decided to have the remaining twenty-seven candidates use rock-paper-scissors to decide who the last person will be to enter the finals. The finals will start tomorrow at noon.
The manager seemed a bit worried, because Tsukino’s little sister, Mizuno, passed the preliminaries as well. Mizuno approached Kazuma and tried be become friendly with him. She went to Tsukino and called her Tsukino-san instead of sister. When she tried to be friendly with Kazuma again, Tsukino asked her not to stick to her employee for every little thing and even called her “thieving cat“. Mizuno replied that Tsukino’s mother is the thieving cat. Tsukino got mad after hearing this and wanted to hit Mizuno in the face. Kazuma however was the one who got hit, because Mizuno used him as a shield. Kazuma was pissed and called Tsukino an idiot. Tsukino couldn’t take it anymore and left the room. The manager told Mizuno to go back to her station and asked Kawachi and Kazuma to follow him. The manager explained to Kawachi and Kazuma that Tsukino is actually an illegitimate child. She has a different mother than Mizuno and her older sister Yukino. Tsukino’s grandfather is partial towards Yukino and Tsukino’s father is partial towards Mizuno. Tsukino basically has no one to support her except for the manager, who left the main store because he wanted to support Tsukino. Kazuma and Kawachi were touched after hearing this and decided to win the newcomers' battle finals for Tsukino. Back at the main store, Kuroyanagi has already divided the candidates in block A and block B. Kazuma, Mizuno and Suwabara are in block A and Kawachi in block B. Meanwhile the manager warns Kawachi and Kazuma about a newcomer who wears a koala mask and calls himself Koala, because he carries himself in a way that makes it hard to believe he is a newcomer.
The theme of the finals is melon bread. Kazuma first opponent is Mizuno. Kazuma asked her to promise him to call Tsukino “nee-chan” if Kazuma wins. Mizuno agreed on one condition, if Kazuma loses he has to become an employee of the New Tokyo Branch.
Kuroyanagi is so funny. I like his expressions and I like it when he calls people trash. He truly deserves to be the winner of the 2004 Best Expression Award.
Kazuma is still adorable naive. I laughed out loud when he told Umino the reason he helped him. The manager's impersonation of Meister Kirisaki was priceless.
Mizuno is very annoying and a real tomboy. I hope Kazuma will win from her very easily in the next round. The Koala man resembles St. Pierre’s Mokoyama. If he is Mokoyama, I wonder what his motives are for entering the newcomers’ battle finals.
I can’t wait for the next episode! I want to see, I want to see………..
