Yakitate!! 9!
The bread of the first opponent, Tsubodzuka from CMAP, was...
Super Toro Aburi.
The judge who tasted it couldn’t help but evolve because of its deliciousness.
Super Kuroyanagi!!
Kazuma, in reply to the challenge,
made his Ooma Japan,
sea urchin chawanmushi-bread made with Ooma’s specialty eggs and sea urchin.
The winner is Pantasia!
And I’ll know that immediately after eating this!
Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.
I’ve suddenly grown hair!
No!
I’ve suddenly been stabbed by hairs!
Could it be that...?
H-Hair needles?!
So delicious that it makes your hair fly out, huh?
I raise the white flag.
Yay.
And then, one clear morning...
Now, when I think about it, that was where it all began.
There’s English bread, German bread, and French bread,
but Japan’s bread, Japan, does not exist.
In that case, there’s no choice but to create it.
This story is a serious, biographical ballad of a boy who possesses Solar Hands,
Azuma Kazuma, who will create a Japanese bread made by and for the Japanese people,
which can be presented to the world proudly.
kono koe todoke tai yo, mada chiisana uta dakedo
I want this voice to reach you, even though it’s still a tiny song.
hajimaru yokan ga suru kara
That’s because I have the feeling that something’s gonna start.
Yakitate!! Japan

As I was cowering, muffling my voice, the tears that I shed
“shinjiru koto wasurekaketeru to” to

I’m going to fly as far as possible, shining like a marble,

Kuroyanagi in danger!!
The lost reactions!
Kuroyanagi in danger!!
The lost reactions!
And now, we’ll have St. Pierre, who lost in the previous round,
decide where the second round shall take place.
Say, Azuma...
This round’s opponent... is...?
It’s been a while.
To think that we’d meet again...
It’s Ryuu-san!
Wh-Why is Ryuu-san here...?
That’s simple.
I wanted to have an all-out battle with you guys, now that you’re #1 in the world.
What’s he doing all of a sudden?!
Let’s have a serious match.
Ryuuke Shinken Succession of Kicks! Prepare yourself!
What’s with this?!
Wh-What are you talking about?!
This is a cooking battle, not a kung-fu battle!
Cooking?
Is that so?
Of course!
Now shut up, will you!
Well, as long as I get paid, I don’t really care what the rules might be.
Doesn’t he know anything?
Moreover... Can this man make bread?
Well, then.
Would the St. Pierre team pick the next match venue.
All right.
We’ll go with panel #2.

M-May I ask something, Kuro-yan?
You’re trying to butt in while I’m talking again?
No, I have a question.
Why is Ookuchi written in red?
That’s because...
Kumamoto prefecture
Chinese Dumplings
Ch-Chinese dumplings?
That’s right.
For cities in which the item you’re supposed to make is predetermined,
their name is indicated in red.
So you mean,
we’re supposed to battle it out with Ryuu-san, who’s Chinese, by making Chinese dumplings?
Isn’t that kinda bad...?
You’re absolutely right, Kawachi.
M-Manager!
Where did you come in from?
In addition to noodles,
Ryuu-san is a master cook who has mastered various foods found in Chinese cuisine.
What was that?!
The taste of Chinese dumplings is decided by the filling found inside.
In that case...
For this round, we won’t find another opponent like Ryuu-san anywhere else.
City of Ookuchi
Boy, what a mess.
To think that we have Ryuu-san for an opponent...
Yeah, we didn’t learn about anything but yakisoba and assassination techniques from Ryuu-san...
We haven’t learned any assassination techniques!
And Kanmuri, have you come up with any countermeasures?
Yes, of course.
First, we need high-quality ingredients...
These are the Isa region’s black hogs,
considered to be of the highest quality, even among Kagoshima black hogs.
In the first place, the fillings used in Chinese dumplings and snacks
usually use ingredients that are rich in the flavor of pork fat.
So, these hogs are our best option.
Yeah, in Osaka, you actually call Chinese dumplings “pork dumplings.”
It would be the most suitable ingredient for this round.
Looks like you also came straight for the black hogs of Isa, eh?
Huh? Kuro-yan?
What are you doing at a place like this?
Since I’m a judge, it’s required for me to be more knowledgeable than you guys.
So, I’m inspecting the ingredients on my own.
Oh... it looks like being a judge is pretty rough.
I guess there’s more to it than simply eating bread and doing stupid reactions.
What was that?!
Sorry for calling your reactions stupid.
Well, that’s how it is.
Old Man Kuroyanagi seems really subdued today...
He’s not going to say anything?
To think that I even thought up a comeback gag for his comment...
Oh well, let’s leave Kuro-yan aside. Let’s continue, shall we, Kanmuri?
G-Give him an inch and he...
Oh, whatever.
For some reason, I can’t get worked up today.
Well then, let’s try some immediately.
Oink!
Oink, oink!
That was good.
Wh-What sweetness!
You wouldn’t think that it’s pork!
It’s so delicious, I think I’ll melt.
For our ingredients this time, it just has to be this.
Yeah.
But...
W-With Kuro-yan eating something as delicious as this, we can expect an extraordinary reaction...
N-No reaction?!
That’s shocking!
Wh-What’s wrong, Senpai?!
S-Something’s weird.
Could it be...?
No, it can’t be.
I’m going to leave now.
O-Okay. Take care.
Guys, I’ll tell you one thing.
For a cook, getting self-satisfied can be a fatal flaw.
Don’t forget to continue working diligently.
O-Okay.
Don’t you think that his words just now carried more a feel of a bad omen than that of advice?
A bad omen?
Like, his last words... Or a testament...
Now that you mention it...
Don’t be stupid!
You think something like that’s possible with Kuro-yan?!
More importantly,
if we use this meat,
we could probably make delicious Chinese dumplings without having to work hard at it.
Yeah, that’s true...
It’s just that this time, the opponent’s also going to be making Chinese dumplings.
I’m sure he’s thought of using black hog meat as well.
To top it off, he’s an expert in Chinese cuisine.
If we were to use the same ingredients to make the same thing, there’s no way we’d win.
Not unless we come up with a special strategy.
A special strategy, huh?
This is tough...
Want me to give you a ride?
Trouble! I’m in trouble!
I-It’s no good.
I can’t taste anything!
I can even eat this god-awful pigs’ feed like it was nothing.
I guess at that time...
I-I’ve lost my sense of taste...
Senpai.
Kuro-yan...
Your sense of taste has gotten messed up, right, Old Ma... I mean, Mister Kuroyanagi?
Guys...
But hey, cheer up!
I’m sure that if you eat something truly delicious,
your sense of taste and your crazy reactions will come back.
Something truly delicious, huh?
Right now, anything and everything feels nostalgic.
That’s not true!
I’ll make something.
I’ll make you something!
The most delicious Chinese dumpling.
The Japanese-Style Japan-dumpling.
Japanese-Style Japan-dumpling?
Are you an idiot, Azuma?!
What do you mean by Japanese-style?
This time, we’re supposed to make Chinese dumplings, not Japanese dumplings.
Oh, is that so?
No. As long as it’s a Chinese dumpling you make by steaming it in a basket,
it doesn’t matter whether the filling is pizza or curry.
In that case, it’s all right!
Just you wait, all right, Old Ma... I mean Mister Kuroyanagi?
I’ll be sure to make you the best Japanese-Style Japan-dumpling!
Damesou
Note: Damesou (打芽荘) is the name of the lodge where they’re staying, but “dame sou” (駄目そう) means “looks like it’s no good.”
Damesou
I’m beat.
Damesou
We really walked a lot today.
My feet are completely swollen.
But thanks to that, in addition to the black hog,
we got the kinzan leek, a specialty of Ookuchi.
As for bonito, we went a little farther to the Makurazaki area
to get satsumabushi, a specialty of Kagoshima prefecture.
With this, tomorrow’s match should be a piece of cake.
No, not yet.
What was that?!
With these ingredients, I’m sure that we could make quite a delicious dumpling.
However, unless the dough used to make the dumpling is delicious, it’s no good.
The dough used for the dumpling?
Well, in Chinese dumplings, the dough has a tendency to get soggy, right?
If it was merely moist like bread, I think it’d be more delicious.
I understand your feelings, Azuma-kun.
You use wheat for the dough of both bread and dumplings,
so I think you should be able to get similar tastes for both of them.
However, Chinese dumplings were made to be steamed.
The dough is 100% made from all-purpose flour.
So, the water content is low.
On the other hand, bread dough, which must be baked,
is made with bread flour, which has a higher water content.
So you can’t get the same taste, no matter what you do.
You see?
Now stop asking for the impossible.
But, if we don’t come up with a strategy for that part, we won’t be able to win against Ryuu-san,
and we won’t be able to make something delicious enough to satisfy the present Old Man Kuroyanagi.
So, do you have some kind of plan?
Nope.
You don’t?!
In that case, give up, will ya?
There isn’t even half a day left until the match.
How about mixing something into the all-purpose flour?
I guess that might be our only option...
It can’t be helped.
Shall we go looking for ingredients once again?
You want to go again?
I don’t want to...
Come on, let’s go, Kawachi-san.
If you were to rest here, your screen time would disappear altogether.
What do you mean, my screen time will disappear?!
Come on, stand up quickly.
It’s impossible, because in addition to my legs, my hips are tired, too.
Hips?
That’s it!
What happened?
The hips!
We just need to make the dough firmer.
Note: Koshi (腰) usually means “hips.” But in the context of flour, it refers to the firmness of the flour. That’s why Kawachi is confused.
The hips?
By “koshi,” you mean the firmness of the dough?
Yep.
But, the dough in Chinese dumplings is already hard and low in moisture, so how would you...?
It’s all right, Kanmuri.
With a firm Japan-dumpling, Old Man Kuroyanagi is sure to revive!
Well then, we’ll now start the second round of Yakitate!! 9!
Both teams, start your work.
In the end, this match has begun without my sense of taste having returned.
Should there be no miracle to return my taste to me here...
I must prepare myself to retire from being a judge.
I wonder what the matter is...
Kuroyanagi-san seems to be different from usual.
I wouldn’t know.
It appears to be a slump!
K-Kawachi-san!
Isn’t it a bit early for you to be here?
My role is complete with my having helped them look for ingredients.
There’s no need for a secret weapon like myself to come out anymore.
Looks like there really is no use for him.
None at all.
Either way, what do you mean by a slump?
It seems that...
For some reason, since yesterday,
Kuro-yan’s been unable to taste anything, no matter what he eats.
That Kuroyanagi-san has...?
Because his sense of taste is so much more developed,
it is more delicate than that of a normal person.
There’s the possibility that the slightest sickness can lead to him losing all sense of taste.
Then, today’s reactions might...
Yeah.
There may not be one.
That is...!
Wh-What is that?!
A technique handed down since ancient times
in the main family of the Ryuuke Shinken Assassination group.
A legendary technique!
Note: Chinjao Rosu (青椒肉絲) = Chinese stir-fried dish consisting of meat and green peppers
Homestyle Chinjao Rosu!
What was that?!
Looks like you pulled out a big technique from the very start, huh, Ryuu-san?
This can’t be beat with a little strategy here and there, Azuma!
What a nice smell.
This smell...
I see!
Azuma’s side is doing pretty good, too.
Manager, that is...?
It’s the local sweet potato wine.
Kinzan leek, Makurazaki’s bonito, and sweet potato wine.
With all of those, you could create the ultimate filling.
But... With just that, I don’t think they can win against Ryuu-san’s technique.
That’s not all they’ve got, Manager.
We won’t be finished at this point yet.
There’s a further strategy at this point.
What kind of strategy is that?
You see...
I don’t know!
There really is no meaning to him being here, huh?
None at all...
Amazing, Azuma-san!
Azuma.
Note: Tenobe noodles (手のべ麺) are vermicelli-like noodles made by manually stretching the noodle dough.
That’s tenobe noodles!
That manufacturing process makes noodles firm yet moist.
The ultimate technique to bring out the flavor of the noodles to the maximum...
This would be tenobe dumplings, and not tenobe noodles!
To think that he knew such a technique!
Just as expected of Azuma!
I’m done.
This is my Complete Family Register of Chinese Dumplings.
It looks like the time has arrived.
This time, in addition to myself, a special judge has been called upon.
Looks like he’s arranged for an alternate judge because of his lost sense of taste.
Pantasia General Manager Meister Kirisaki...
M-Meister is here?!
...his pet.
Coo-san, the peacock.
Wh-What does this mean?!
While he may be a peacock, he is Meister’s pet.
He can pass along a better judgment than the average judge that you’d find just anywhere.
But even then, having a bird as the judge is just...
Well then...
Oh. He displayed his feathers fully.
Wh-What do you mean?
He expresses dehciousness by opening his feathers at a certain angle.
Fully displaying his feathers means full points.
Wh-What was that?!
What about Kuro-yan...?
G-Guess it was no good...
To think that my sense of taste still hasn’t returned...
I am left with no choice but to make a decision right here, right now.
I, Kuroyanagi Ryou, as of today...
resign from my position of Judge of Yakitate!! 9, and that of taste judge!
What was that?!
Kuroyanagi-san!
Wait, Old Ma... I mean Mister Kuroyanagi!
Quit only after having tasted mine.
Azuma...
This is my Chinese dumpling,
the Japanese-Style, Japan-dumpling made using the tenobe technique!
You can always quit after having tasted mine.
Very well.
You’re right.
But...
Senpai...
Kuro-yan...
Don’t make such a scary face.
You just have to believe in me and eat it.
Oh, no!
This is no time to be having a reaction!
Shut up, Kawachi.
A topknot?
Did Kuro-yan get himself a topknot because the taste is Japanese-style?
No!
With that kind of wimpy reaction, you can’t say that Kuroyanagi had a complete recovery!
Look carefully!
Pafu Pafu. Pafu Pafu.
Wh-What the... What’s Kuro-yan doing?
Did he break?
Don’t you get it, Kawachi?
Note: Pafu Pafu (ぱふぱふ) is onomatopoeia for puffiness or fluffiness.
He’s doing a Pafu Pafu.
Pafu Pafu?
Pafu Pafu. Pafu Pafu.
Pafu Pafu
Wafu Pafu
Wafu Pafu.
Wafu Wafu
Wafu Wafu.
Note: Wafuu (和風) means “Japanese-style.”
Wafuu Wafuu
Wafuu Wafuu.
Japanese-Style Japan-dumpling!
All right!
We finally have the revival of the reactions!
But, it’s amazing that he can do something gross like that.
Even I would have preferred to do it with a woman!
Hi-His hands are stretching!
Note: Tenobi means “stretching hands.” The “man” is a pun on the Japanese word “man” (dumplings) and the English word “man.”
I’m no longer the Tenobe-dumpling. I’m now the tenobi man!
So, why’s he wearing a straw hat?
Tenobi Man
The tenobi... No, tenobe dumplings are delicious!
Azuma!
This satsumabushi you used in the Japanese-style soup stock...
Kagoshima Prefecture
The Kagoshima prefecture holds pride in the fact that they produce the best bonito in Japan.
And from those bonito, the satsumabushi is considered to be the best.
It’s no exaggeration to call the stock you make from that the “ultimate taste.”
And... This sweet potato wine!
Ookuchi is supposed to be the place from which sweet potato wine originated.
The weakness of the dumpling is that it gets hard when steamed for a long time.
You’ve overcome that by using Ookuchi’s liquor,
also creating a soft flavor that brings out the flavor of the meat perfectly.
And, and...
The biggest point to note is... This dough!
It has much more bread flour than a regular Chinese dumpling.
By making it more like bread, you’ve made it softer!
Th-That’s right...
And, on top of that...
By this tenobi... I mean tenobe technique, you’ve gotten it to be firm, yet moist.
The dough really matches the Japanese-style taste.
It’s truly delicious! The Japanese-Style Japan-dumpling!
The winner: Pantasia!
All right!
Yay!
I-I can’t accept that!
If your sense of taste is back, then you should rejudge mine.
There’s no need for that.
Wh-Why not?
Your Complete Family Register of Chinese Dumplings were delicious,
as shown by the peacock Coo.
But, however.
The filling only has one specialty of Ookuchi, the black hog.
At Yakitate!! 9, you get more points for using more specialties from the region assigned!
Also, Azuma’s Chinese dumplings were so delicious that they brought back my sense of taste,
something that yours couldn’t do.
So whatchuu shay ish that... It worksh out thish way...?
However, it’s true that your Chinese dumplings are the real thing.
Normally, peacocks are flightless birds.
But, Coo is expressing its deliciousness in that manner.
So, if you insist on my eating it once again, then...
I will be happy to oblige!
Well, I’m glad we won.
And, he returned to being normal Kuroyanagi-san.
I’m glad that Old Man Kuroyanagi was able to get back to normal.
We’ll be able to see his reactions as usual once again.
Oh boy...
Isn’t he even more excited than he usually is?
This shark fin dumpling is delicious!
This bear paw dumpling is delicious too!
No!
I want to eat that.
In this manner, I was able to get back to my normal self.
Wait!
That’s mine! Give it back to me!
Give it back! Give it back!
All’s well that ends well!
onna ji kao wo kurikaeshi te, sekai wa kyou mo mawarundarou
The world will probably go on today, with a repetition of the same faces,
demo wa sureteita koto hitotsu
but there was one thing that I’d forgotten.
ookiku iki wo suikondara, mawari ni michita ai no katachi
If I’m to take a deep breath,
then the shape of the love that permeates my surroundings
mabushii kurai ni kirakira to
will shine so much that it’s blinding.
tooku de dareka ga yondeiru
Someone is calling me from far away...

And that voice constantly echoes in my heart.
chiisana yorokobi wo nosete mawari dasu merry-go-round
So, riding on my small pleasures, the merry-go-round begins to turn...
yoake no konai hi demo kokoro ni akari tomo sou
And even on days when the morning doesn’t come, it shines a light in my heart.

CMAP’s gonna get serious.
What was that?!
The Cooking Meal Assemble People are going to...?
Looks like he just wanted to say that.
Next time, on Yakitate!! Japan,
Ooo, mango!!
CMAP’s big counterattack!
Be sure to watch.
Yakitate!! Seed of knowledge.
