Kawachi and Kazuma continue their training with Ryuu-san. Both of them have improved a lot, though Kawachi’s skills are still better than Kazuma’s. Ryuu-san worries that Kazuma’s noodle-making skills might not be good enough to defeat Shachihoko. In order to stand a chance against Shachihoko, Kazuma must prepare a good scheme. Meanwhile Kawachi has already thought of a scheme to use against his opponent in the second round. He tells Ryuu-san about it, who seems to like Kawachi’s scheme. Though according to Ryuu-san, Kawachi could win his match without having to use a scheme. Kawachi replies that the manager taught him not to let his guard down.
As expected, Kawachi won his match of the second round very easily. He made a yakisoba bread in the shape of a hotdog. After Kuroyanagi tasted Kawachi’s bread, he immediately declared Kawachi the winner of the match.
Kawachi wonders why Kazuma is strong in making bread, but weak in cooking food. If they were to compete in bread, Kazuma would definitely win from Shachihoko. Then Kawachi thought of something and went to Kuroyanagi to discuss it with him.
Back at Ryuu-san’s store, Kazuma was feeling depressed because he has no confidence in the match against Shachihoko. Kawachi walks in the store holding a bag with French rolls. He dislikes seeing Kazuma so depressed and pretends to be angry with him. He crushes the bag with French rolls onto Kazuma’s face and tells him he deserves to be crushed. Kazuma doesn’t understand what Kawachi was trying to do and wants him to stop. The manager understands Kawachi’s intention and tells Kazuma, Kawachi is right – he deserves to be crushed. Kazuma finally seems to understand what Kawachi and the manager were trying to tell him.
At the day of second round, Kazuma surprised everyone when he uses his cooking pan to crush the French rolls. Shachihoko thinks Kazuma is taking out his anger on the bread, because he couldn’t make delicious yakisoba. Then it was time for Kuroyanagi to taste the yakisoba bread. He starts with Shachihoko’s bread. After he took a bite, Kuroyanagi had the sudden urge to take of his clothes. Fortunately for him, Kawachi stopped him before he took of his pants. To make sure Kuroyanagi wouldn’t take of his pants anymore, Kawachi called in a few men dressed in suits to hold up Kuroyanagi’s pants. Next is the tasting of Kazuma’s yakisoba bread. As usual Kuroyanagi asks Kazuma: “What’s this thing?”. Kazuma replies it’s Yakisoba-Japan #59 “okonomiyaki sandwich”. Kuroyanagi asks himself: “To eat….or not to eat…..”, because the bread gives off the smell of danger. Then he realized he doesn’t have much of a choice, because he is the examiner. After he took a bite of Kazuma’s creation, he started to recite a poem written by a famous poet from the Heian period. Apparently the name of the poet can be used as a pun for okonomiyaki sandwich. Kazuma is declared the winner, but Shachihoko objects to it. He thinks Kazuma violated the rules by flattening his bread. He also thinks that (just) flattened bread couldn’t be so delicious. Kuroyanagi yells at Shachihoko and tells him not to make up rules by himself. Though the bread for the second round is provided by Pantasia’s main store, it’s not against the rules to change the shape/ taste of the bread. Besides, Kawachi already asked him for permission the other day.
Kuroyanagi tells Shachihoko he has been influenced by Nagoya for too long and lost pride of his own people. An Italian-trained American like him should know that Kazuma’s creation is actually closer to a panini than to okonomiyaki (typically Italian food --> flattened grilled bread). Shachihoko realized that Kuroyanagi was right and admited his defeats. Kazuma was glad he won the match and thanked Kawachi for his help. Kawachi tells him he should thank the manager. The manager says to Kazuma he can thank him by giving him the prize money.
After the second round ended, Kuroyanagi announces the winner of the prize money for best yakisoba bread. To everyone’s surprise, Koala was declared the winner.
I enjoyed watching this episode, though I didn’t understand most of the puns. The pose Kuroyanagi made, after he tasted Kawachi’s bread, was a bit lame and not very funny. I liked it when Kuroyanagi undressed himself, though I don’t understand why he did it. I think it’s another pun I don’t understand. Ryuu-san is quite funny. I laughed out loud when he asked the manager if he wanted him to assassinate the animal (referring to Koala) and steal the prize money. He really is an assassin, huh?
Anime-Empire scared me with their little joke. They have either too much free time or they just want to scare the leechers ^_^
