The Pantasia team are challenged by Ryuu-san, the chef who trained Kawachi and Azuma in the arts of yakisoba and assassination back in episode 15.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, Kuroyanagi gets electrocuted and loses his sense of taste. Can Azuma create a dumpling so delicious that it restores balance to the delicate instrument that is Kuroyanagi&#8217;s tongue?!<\/p>\n<p>This episode was okay, but the script writer&#8217;s constant insistence that Kawachi is now a useless character should simply be beaten into submission and he should become a valued member of the team; really, I&#8217;m sick of this. In what parallel universe is this funny? The universe of the sadists, that&#8217;s where.<\/p>\n<p>Some anime is definitely better watched in big chunks; while I was deeply annoyed by the Kawachi bashing in the Monaco Cup, the amount of episodes I could power through managed to display some of the sourness with story. Not so here: at one episode every whenever, I&#8217;m much more attuned to the inadequacies of <i>Yakitate!! Japan<\/I>&#8216;s character treatment. This makes me sad.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/yakitate56-02.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"225\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\" title=\"Electrocution\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/yakitate56-03.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"225\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\" title=\"Kawachi needs assistance\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/yakitate56-04.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"225\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\" title=\"A reaction of their own\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/yakitate56-05.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"225\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\" title=\"Tenchou-san thinks that Kawachi is useless\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/yakitate56-06.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"225\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\" title=\"Invincible frying technique!\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/yakitate56-07.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"225\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\" title=\"Surprise\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Kuroyanagi in danger!!
