Iron Chef - Battle Bamboo Shoot (2 of 5)

[jyhluk]

CHEN IS THE MAN IN JAPAN!

[anwharri]

Touchdown!!! Bamboo shoots!

[rhindle2k2]

The pride and the honor...

[CapPicard]

Let's try imagining Kaga in a blue and orange outfit complete with a golden aura while doing those moves while announcing the theme there! :D

[zacefronandwiggles]

i remeber this

[daskoodaskoo]

i love the music in iron chef so theatrical and melodic

[CapPicard]

@daskoodaskoo gotta love the Backdraft sound track being used like this. :D

[CynicalGenius]

Chen was born in the Year of the Monkey. That's why he always uses bananas.

[xanos4225]

Eat the sound of bamboo shoots.

[deception1845]

why did he choose chen? he always lose. if it was me i'd choose michiba.

[daskoodaskoo]

@deception1845 always lose? are you out of your fucking mind?

[lonnie085]

I want the challengers knife... its epic

[DeepDeepSpace]

Touch Down !!!

[yukipham18]

oh man, that bamboo peeling technique is awesome

[christpunchers]

The American version sucks because the theme is NOT a secret. In fact, they give those guys WEEKS to prep and do test runs with the theme. That's absolute bullshit. There's no randomness to the matches. It's all scripted.

[prawnsalad]

I love Kaga!

[hideopalescent]

oh man... beautiful knifework from both sides.

[Yamaz29]

Memories of Michiba with the "broth of Vigor" @7:43

[BlueFox284]

Goddamn, Kaga is always dressed to perfection. . .O_O

[hotpinkdomani]

texchaaaahhh

[millennium]

the american iron chef sucks cuz they dont describe the secert ingredient like how the japan version does..

[kiminokami]

@millennium That is reason number 17 that ICA sucks.

[playingthehaegeum]

Meh. I never cared for bamboo shoots. My mom would try to feed me them when I was little.

[boredmonkee]

Fukui is so smooth

[lolihateliars]

I love the volcano footage during Kenichi's intro

[rabidninja]

sounds like these crackas want splinters down the gullet

[Bloodlovefreak]

0:33 He has really strange ears.

[partytime0]

i love kagas over voice on the babbo shoots short lol

[teleostomi]

My mother said bamboo shoot is best stewed with bonito broth. I loved her bamboo shoot with bonito flavor and still miss it.

but What's the point of putting a chopstick standing upright?

[ThePieIsFalse]

the point of using the chopsticks is to check the density of the broth, more dense=more flavor

[teleostomi]

Kaga's "Take noko" move is a reference to a gag by Senda Mitsuo, or a gag by Takeshi Kitano's "Comanechi".

[Makaristos]

Remember, eat the sound of bamboo shoots!

[watsupyo888]

the way he did the act for the bamboo was kinda hilarious but with a lot of energy

i like it so much

[watsupyo888]

I love the part when he says:

"I SUMMON THE IRON CHEFS!" in Japanese!!

[Schnabelhund]

What if the Kyoto guy had challenged the French Iron Chef? Bamboo shoots would have been quite a disadvantage for him.

[watsupyo888]

i agree

that's why the challenger decided to be fair and picked with the iron chef chinese which also plays the flavour well

its kinda a fair fight after all

[kiminokami]

Japan is about honor.

[Sgrubb1S]

Kaga's theme announcements are so hilarious!

[pedicabdr1ver]

i think this is my favorite theme ingredient announcement out of all of them

[specialjrocks]

mine's from battle cabbage

[Thracozaag]

Tough call, mine's probably natto, or mochi.

[screamingdean5]

You like natto? Do you know where I can get some in Southern California? I heard the health benefits from natto were tremendous!

[Thracozaag]

Can't say I ever have developed a taste for it, but many japanese obviously love it; I would assume any asian market in Cali would carry it. They usually come in these little white packets.

[kiminokami]

I also see it in small cans.

[mystiquemorocco]

oh you have to check out the theme asparagus.....a suuuu para GAS!!!! Best theme announcement EVER!!!!

[tennchuu]

repeat: eat the soundd of bamboo shoot!"

[blindwombat]

Kaga: TAKEI KOKO

Chen: Fuck that...

[nineballmk2]

LOL!

[LovelyYTRocks]

KAKKEI NOKO!!!

[manramen]

Maybe bamboo shoots are one of Kaga's favorite foods?

[jauntyniel]

michiba style broth..lol

[Songy]

I know.

[Songy]

I love when Kaga's fired up like this.

[DarkFireYoshi]

Ha ha like Kaga voice and arm motions when he said Bamboo Shoots.

[prawnsalad]

@DarkFireYoshi TAKENOKO!!!!
