episode 26 starts off with Kawachi putting a bucket of water inside the stove in order to produce additional steam, which in turn causes his bread to produce sounds while being baked. Not wanting to be outdone, Suwabara produces a French bread that forms the shape of a snake. Meanwhile, Azuma has decided that he will not be working for the main Pantasia store. Having said that, he feels sad knowing that Kawachi will probably move there if he wins this round. Back to the competition, Kawachi's bread is finally completed and upon tasting it, Kuroyan begins having flashback of his best friend back in the US, Brad Kidd. For a reason that I will leave to your own imagination, Kawachi's double-crust bread reminds Kuroyan of Kidd. In the end, Kuroyan decides that Suwabara and Kawachi tie in this competition.
