Yakitate Japan Ep 42

Azuma and Kawachi are busy preparing for their creations in the semi-final where the latter has managed to come up with something which he is satisfied with. However, Azuma is troubled as he does not know how to improve his Ja-pan No.51 which according to him, is perfect. Just then, Suwabara returns from his stroll and shows them the masks of the Kaiser brothers which are given out for free on the streets. He warns that they would be surrounded by supporters wearing these masks and have to prepare themselves for this psychological pressure. Suwabara also encourages Azuma to think harder on how to improve his creation and is secretly happy at the chance to have a contest with Azuma again.

On the day of the semi-final, Azuma suddenly has an idea on how he wants to improve his creation and tells Kawachi that he will be late for the match since he has to go to the palace to get his ingredients. Kawachi and Suwabara are worried about Azuma not making it for the match.

Just then, the Kaiser brothers come to talk to them before the start of the match and reveal the truth on their bodies and arrangements under that huge cloak. This makes the duo more apprehensive over whether they can win the semi-final especially without Azuma's present.

During the match, Pierro tells them that it is alright for Azuma to be late provided that he can come up with his bread within the time limit. As Kawachi and Suwabara show off their creations, they are stunned to see the Kaiser brothers being levels above them...

The part about the Kaiser's brothers' body structure is simply exaggerated.Imagine a man having arms of 2.72m long! And I simply do not understand why they must be stacked together. Anyway, it seems that the Japanese team is up against a formidable opponent and where is Azuma again? He is always late but manages to save the day. I guess we can see his performance in the next episode.
