This episode is the latest casualty of the inconsistent character design problem that also struck this week's Gakuen Alice. Much to Sunrise's credit, however, the inconsistencies are less noticeable here. I'm also quite surprised to see the story in this episode being funnier than the way I remembered it. I guess it didn't feel that way to me before because the first thing that I remember about this particular plot is Yukino's cruel machination. Having said that, there's no denying that she is quite an effecitve and formidable enemy. To begin with, she has no redeeming quality whatsoever so it's very easy to hate her. There's no need to feel guilty here. :P Her presence also makes Azuma and his friends realise that they have to be careful when dealing with this monster.

Anyway, this episode begins with Kanmuri realising that Yukino has tampered with Kawachi's dough. Yukino herself doesn't make too much of an attempt to hide her happiness upon seeing Kawachi's misery. She continually repeating to herself that she could die from her happiness. On the other hand, Kawachi is confused with the whole situation. As a result, when he sees the hole on the wall where Deebu came from, he immediately assumes that the cold wind creates an unsuitable temperature for his dough. Because of this, he asks Kuroyan if they can rise the temperature in the room a little bit. Meister doesn't object to the request so Kuroyan orders his men to rise the temperature to 36 degrees. When that doesn't work, they increase it up to 39 degrees. Hmm, toasty!!

Meanwhile, Kanmuri has finally completed his bread and asks Kuroyan to taste it now since he can no longer stand the heat. Besides, he notices that Deebu also feels the same. Because of this, Kuroyan tells everyone that he'll now begin to taste Kanmuri's bread while Kawachi can continue his attempt to mold the dough. Upon seeing Kanmuri's bread, Kuroyan realises that the guy has succeeded in making a seaweed bread that uses yeast harvested from the ocean. Kuroyan is impressed by this since he was one of those people who failed to harvest such yeast from the ocean. He's even more impressed when he tastes the bread to the point that he begins to remember his time together with his blonde American girlfriend. Kuroyan becomes so engrossed in his imagination that he almost give Meister a big kiss on the lips.

Deebu is also equally impressed with Kanmuri's bread to the point that he regains his ability to stand up. Because of this, he awarded Kanmuri with a perfect score of 300 phon. Unfortunately, this means that Kawachi is in trouble. Not only he begins to lose his concentration, the spectators begins to throw items at him to show their unhappiness with the temperature. Kazuma tries his best to ask the crowd from throwing items at Kawachi but he ends up getting hit by the crowds as well. As he passed out into Tsukino's arm, Kawachi tells himself that he knows he is not as talented as Azuma but he refuses to lose in spirit. He wants to do things right for his family, himself, and for Tsukino. Kawachi then apologises to Tsukino as he slowly loses his consciousness.

The incident upsets Ken who suspect that Yukino has something to do with it. Upon inspecting the dough, Meister Kirisaki believes that there is a need to open an investigation to find out the cause behind the incident. Meanwhile, Kawachi is seen apologising to Tsukino for being unable to protect her. He then cries on Tsukino's chest and comments how she has such a strong muscle. Well, it turns out that the whole thing is just Kawachi's overactive imagination. The person that he's really hugging turns out to be Ken. LOL. Kawachi's horror quickly turns into sadness as he remembers that he lost the match to Kanmuri. He realises now that he can't fulfill his promise to fight Azuma in the final. Ken tries to make Kawachi feels better by telling the kid that his dough has probably been tampered by someone.

The knowledge, however, does not make Kawachi feel any less miserable. He realises that even if there is a rematch, he won't be able to defeat Kanmuri and his special yeast. Meanwhile Kanmuri himself is seen telling Yukino that if she tries a similar trick again, people will definitely be suspicious. Yukino, however, tells Kanmuri that she's not that stupid to do it twice and besides, she thinks Azuma already self-destruct himself anyway. True enough, Azuma is now seen looking miserable because of what happened to Kawachi. Suwabara then appears and tells Azuma that he refuses to accept that Azuma has lost his fighting spirit due to Kawachi's unfortunate incident. He tells Azuma that he became angry when he lost to Azuma and Kawachi during the recruitment process and actually sweared revenge.

However, his master reminded him that he will only be able to find out his true strength if he calms down. Suwabara tells Azuma that because of this, he is now capable of creating a super vapour croissant with more layers than what Azuma originally made. Azuma, however, can't care less, causing Suwabara to become angrier. He tells Azuma to withdraw if he does not intend to fight with all of his ability. Once Suwabara left, Azuma breaks down to Tsukino and tells her that he thinks he can't handle the emotion anymore. Tsukino tries to assure him that if it hurts too much, he can just stop the fight because she'll protect him. However, Kawachi then appears and reminds Azuma that they're the one who promised to protect Tsukino. He tells Azuma that he wants Azuma to continue to fight for him and Tsukino. Kawachi believes that Azuma can do anything because he's a genius.
