Yakitate Japan Ep 28

Now that the Pantasia Newcomer arc is over, I think the Monaco Cup arc should be starting soon since Kanmuri has made known his intentions to everyone. The thing is whether Kawachi will agree to making a fool of himself in that international competition so as to raise the odds against Azuma and Suwabara and earn enough money to overthrow Yukino who is planning to sell Pantasia to St Pierre's owner. It's a messy state of affairs since that owner should be the guy who inspired Azuma to make bread and Meister Kirisaki who holds great power in Pantasia is actually that owner's son. And Meister eavesdropped on Kanmuri and Kawachi's conversation about losing deliberately so what will he do? I really don't know if he's considered a friend or foe in this case. My only hope for the Monaco Cup is that they will make it harder for Azuma to win or else he would beat every single opponent who comes along and it would be rather boring and unconvincing. Of course, I recognise the fact that he's got to win the Monaco Cup but then, what's success without a few hitches along the way? ^__^
