I think it's funny how the epic boss music plays when the French chef comes in like it's a video game. "You beat the boss of the game, but that was the fake boss! THIS is the real one!"
Not to make this sound like a joke since it's an awesome thing, but that's the 1st thing that came to mind when he came out with that music.
I like how they want Sakai to take on Passard, but I don't like how they played up Sakai vs Chen as the FINAL BATTLE and Sakai sounded like he was mentally done at the end of his battle with Chen. He looked surprised when Chairman Kaga announced he would in fact be going against Passard. Imo, they should have just saved Passard for the 21st Century Battles Special, and had him go against Komei Nakamura to settle the tie from the World Cup.
Congrats to Chef Sakai..great battle by both men. The 2 chefs cooking skills are dwarfed by their humility and respect they have for one another..that is GREAT to see. Bobby Flay is a great chef, but he is a small boy when it comes to being a great person as these two have just demonstrated. The joy, love, respect and humility make these the GREATEST IRON CHEFS ever along with Michiba
Does that mean Sakai didn't have a chance to rest before battling against Passard? So first he did the battle against Chen and straught away against Passard?
I would sure hope that the magic of tv accounts for this; I think that perhaps a day or so passed in between. It would just not be fair to have Sakai battle Passard after going through the grueling battle against Chen.
HOLY SHIT. The best Iron Chef has to defend his home turf yet again! And I remember several challengers winning against the masters, so yeah... It's not rigged.
Well of course Passard was there, it was planned because obviously SOMEONE was going to win and be king of iron chefs, be it Chen or Sakai, and then Passard would go against that person.
Seems like the results were pretty much scripted. It seems strange that Alain Passard was at the location to unveal the next episode. Also the results seems almost expected, its like as if the producers are making results that appealed to the general public. It seems that the results of Iron Chef are more a popularity contest than anything else, which really brings me to question the results of a great many episodes in this show.
@Icarusmk2 Well, actually, Kaga said at the start of the King of Iron Chef tournament that the winner would go against the best in the world, so yea.. it was planned from the start. Go back and watch Tournament 1 Episode 1 to see.
I'm looking for the Iron Chef World Cup 1997 tournament, & any battles that took place in either Hong Kong or Shanghai. If you find any, let me know.
I wish that their is someone who will be part of Iron Chef who specialized in filipino cuisine. We call it the Iron Chef Philippines that can defeat all of the Iron Chef.
This is going to be a great one! Chicken is difficult, because of the time limit. It's also pretty boring, so sauces and presentation will make all the difference.
I wonder if they had a 3 star Chinese chef behind the curtain in the case that Chen Kenichi won.

You have that absolutely correct. Bobby Flay may have talent dripping from him, but he is still an arrogant ass.

Long-Gong Chicken is arguably the best chicken in the world.
Free range, and is fed well.
I thought it was a Gryphon in the emblem.
Sakai was like o_o, squinting at the flag.
