The preliminary battle in this episode has a theme of Korokke (Croquette). Among the challengers is a 17 year-old student and a chef from Sakai's La Rochelle. The final is a French on French match-up. The theme is not a French theme, however, as the Chairman unveils Tofu. Ishinabe can only laugh while the challenger has a look of trepidation on his face.
