Yakitate!! Japan (Original Japanese Version)

Mr. Kirisaki has bought out Pantasia and merged it with St. Pierre!

The first opponent that Kazuma and the others face is the enigmatic Takumi Tsubozuka.

Will Tsubozuka win with his charred tuna, or will Kazuma come from behind with his chawanmushi bread made with sea urchin?

After an accident, Kuroyanagi lost all sense of taste. Will he have to retire from being a judge forever?

Tsubozuka has become a friend of Kazuma and the others. But the other members of CMAP aren’t so forgiving.

CMAP not only has incredible knowledge and unbeatable talent, but one of their members even has the Arms of Flame.

Kazuma, Kawachi, and Kanmuri must do battle with a duo of ninjas using the local specialty of Omagari.

Kai makes a shocking declaration. If he can’t defeat Kazuma, he’ll commit suicide!

Kanmuri’s past is brought to light and he may have to retire from his life as a baker!

It’s a showdown between estranged brothers. Neither wants to succeed, because both love cooking.

Kazuma is up against his most powerful foe yet, the famous TV celebrity and comedian Norihei Miki!

It’s time for Kuroyanagi to decide who will win: Kazuma or Norihei.

Mokoyama has returned. Though he doesn’t wish to assist Yukino or Mr. Kirisaki in any way, he desperately wants to prove his worth.

Panda’s bread explodes… three times! How can this possibly be? Has Mokoyama made the bread he’s always dreamed of making?

Tsukino’s sister steps in to challenge Kazuma and the others in the semi-finals, in a match she is well-suited for: making tarts.

Kazuma has been thrust into a fantasy world, and most take the “loquat” to the fires of a volcano and destroy it.

The final showdown. Kazuma faces off against Yuichi Kirisaki’s son in a legendary battle in Kazuma’s own hometown.
