Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) | comment |
In the world of Yakitate!! Japan, bread is Serious Business. And no one takes it more seriously than Kazuma Azuma, a teenaged baker whose dream it is to create a national bread for his native country of Japan. It's an uphill battle however, as Japan is a land where rice has always ruled and where bread has never been held in very high regard. But all that is about to change thanks to the efforts of our gastronomically savant hero, who, with his "solar hands" and ten years of self-study, has become a master of his craft.The story begins with Kazuma heading to The Big City to apply for a position at Pantasia, one of Japan's biggest bakery franchises. Unfortunately, once he gets there he finds himself having to compete for the job with about thirty other applicants, most of whom have had some sort of formal training and education. Will a young, naive boy with pluck and determination be able to measure up in a Cooking Duel against Japan's finest up-and-coming bread makers?...Well duh. This is a Shōnen series, after all...During the course of the show, Kazuma gets to strut his stuff in several baking tournament arcs, as well as meet a cast of wacky characters, including: Kyousuke Kawachi - The Idiot from Osaka. Kazuma's co-worker and one of his more lighthearted rivals. Kai Suwabara - A grim-faced master swordsman who took up bread making for philosophical reasons. Rival to both Kazuma and Kyosuke and the series' Anti-Hero. Shigeru Kanmuri - Harvard-trained Teen Genius who looks to the cold hand of Science to create the world's next Big Bread Breakthrough. Tsukino Azusagawa - Outcast granddaughter of the Pantasia chain owner. Is vying to become his heir along with her stepsisters, the annoying Mizuno and the psychotic Devil in Plain Sight, Yukino. Kageto Kinoshita - (aka the "Mushroom-head" guy). Another of Kazuma's co-workers who usually gets stuck doing all of the work while everyone is off competing in tournaments. The series' Butt-Monkey. Ken Matsushiro - Kazuma's boss and mentor. Wears a funny Afro and has a thing for horses. (No, not that sort of a thing...) Is a MASSIVE Ham. Ryo Kuroyanagi - Hard-assed tournament judge with a talent for making overblown and very elaborate pun-based reactions to anything he tastes. A running gag has Kazuma frequently calling him an "old man" even though he's only 22. Spencer Henry Hokō - An Italian-American dude all the way from California and worked at the Nagoya branch of Pantasia. Thinks he is a true-blue Nagoya guy. He shows up during the first Tournament Arc and loses to Kazuma Azuma. He later returns in the second one as a member of Team America. Yuuichi Kirisaki- owner and Manipulative Bastard of St. Pierre's, rival of Pantasia. He looks like Gendō Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion and is voiced by the guy who did the voice of Gendō too. He tries sabotaging Team Japan during the Monaco Cup and hires the members of Team America to defeat them. He starts Yakitate 25!(9 in anime) as an attempt to humiliate Kazuma.Yakitate!! Japan is notable for being a parody of the shonen fighting anime genre, skewering many of the traditional shonen character archetypes, and the overblown way in which even the most mundane turns of the plot are depicted. It's a fun—and at times, educational—action series. Watch it, and you'll never again think bread is boring. A follow-up sequel, Yakitate!! Japan Super Real started in 2019, 12 years after the series ended. | |

Negated Moment of Awesome: Preparing for a match against Azuma, Kawaichi undergoes physical training under Meister Kirisaki to gain superhuman finger dexterity on top of his Solar Gauntlets, possibly giving him a chance to finally compete on equal terms with Azuma. Unfortunately, Azuma's bread transforms the judge into a giant butterfly, rendering him unable to eat bread, and since the entire goal of the competition (to convince the judge, Azuma's grand-uncle, to hand over his special wheat,) was accomplished, Kawaichi didn't even get to do anything. | |

Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Kai Suwabara is given a profile right off the bat that declares him one of the rising stars of the baking world, and his bread is shown to be so well-made that the first one he makes can take a punch and not lose its shape. His skill is repeatedly talked up for the first third of the manga, to make it seem all the more impressive when he gets taken down. And get taken down frequently, he does - see his record under Informed Ability. | |

The Sociopath | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Yukino Azusugawa, the eldest daughter of Sadamichi Azusugawa is by far the nastiest character in the series. She is a heartless woman who is implied to have murdered people to get her way. During the Rookie Tournament arc, she manipulates a Pantasia staff to sabotage Kawachi's bread and later murders the guy to cover up her involvement. A later bonus chapter flashback shows that she attempts to kill Tsukino by pushing her into a well, and Tsukino would have died if not for Azuma's bread. She is a skilled actor, and can act like a kind, if eccentric woman, in public. Yukino had horribly mistreated Tsukino in the past, and still loathes her half-sister in the present; but when they reunite, Yukino was able to put up a friendly facade in front of her friends, and even fakes tears of remorse when they call her out on her past abuse towards Tsukino. Later on, while talking to her grandfather—the current CEO of Pantasia—she manages to pretend giving her support for Tsukino to become the bakery's next successor, thus convincing the old man that she is a selfless and considerate woman. She is as sadistic and promiscuous as can be shown in a Shonen manga. She often walks around in public wearing Dominatrix outfit, and one Omake strip actually shows her walking around nude. Fittingly, when she is transformed into air particles after losing a baking battle against Azuma, she is temporarily placed inside an inflatable sex doll. She has no loyalty to anyone, and later betrays her own family to join forces with Pantasia's greatest rival, St. Pierre. She seems to have an intimate relationship with the Big Bad owner of St. Pierre, but it's clear that their relationship is not born out of love, but their shared lust for monopoly and power. | |

Self-Parody: One extra in the collected manga volumes is a parody of the series, centering around an American kid who wants to become an expert at making rice. It does a quick parody of the first story arc, complete with "Shiroyanagi" (whose name starts with "white", to contrast Kuroyanagi whose name starts with "black") eliminating Azuma and Kai from competition because they smell too much like bread. | |

Punch-Clock Villain: Kanmuri is introduced as this during the Pantasia rookie tournament arc. Yes, he is working for Yukino, but only because she's funding his scientific research into making the perfect bread. He doesn't get along with her at all, and the second she cuts him off (by destroying his research facility for failing to beat Azuma), he very quickly joins forces with Azuma and Tsukino. | |

Hurricane of Puns | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_2937826d | comment |
Hurricane of Puns: Barely a chapter goes by without some horrendous pun, many of which are lost entirely in the English translations. Even the series title is a pun: "pan" is Japanese for "bread", so "Ja-pan" can be read as "Japanese bread", which plays on the names of other varieties of bread like "furansu pan" (lit. "French bread"), etc. | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Kawachi - it's even specifically noted that he'll typically act lackadaisical if he's not expected to do the brunt of the work in a given task. However, when he's under the gun, he'll willingly undertake grueling measures and show off some inspired creations, some of which can even rival what Azuma does. | |

When the gang are sulking at the beach upon hearing the news that St. Pierre has successfully taken over Pantasia despite their victory at the Monaco Cup, rendering their victory pointless, Azuma goes up to Tsukino, [[who naturally takes the news the hardest]], and he gives her the ring he won as MVP of the Monaco Cup to both cheer her up and as payback for the headband she gave him. The catch? He puts it on her left ring finger and not only is he oblivious to what he just did, but she's the only one who even notices at all. Not even Kanmuri noticed. She decides not to point out he just made an Accidental Proposal, and happily accept the gift as is. In the manga, when the quartet leave the beach, she's happily got her hands on Azuma's shoulders. | |

Strictly Formula | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: The middle part of the Yakitate 25 arc starts falling into a strict formula after a while: Pantasia competes against someone who's the best in their field at a particular type of food, and both are tasked to make that exact type of food (because St. Pierre is cheating and manipulating the matches behind the scenes,) the Pantasia team ends up staying at a bizarre hotel, Azuma suddenly gets an inspiration for the match thanks to Kawachi, the story cuts to the competition, where Ken shows up late because of Yakuza business, Pantasia wins, and in later chapters their opponent is polymorphed, possibly permanently, while Azuma declares it a happy ending. There's an occasional variation in the formula, but it happens far and few between. | |

Power Copying | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_4c24a9ed | comment |
At the end of the Monaco Cup, Azuma manages to best Shadow in the Grand Finals to achieve victory for Team Japan, even though Shadow had used his Power Copying abilities to be able bake as well as Yuichi Kirisaki. When Shadow complains to Kirisaki about this loss, Kirisaki admits that Azuma has now surpassed his skill. He also mentions Azuma had made a lot of his own ingredients (including sugar) while Shadow uses store bought ones, citing the old "Handmade is better" dogma as part of his explanation. | |

You Are Too Late | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_4c3f14e0 | comment |
You Are Too Late: The goal of Azuma and Kawachi was to win the Monaco Cup and allow Tsukino to win over 10 billion yen, thereby allowing her to secure enough Pantasia stock to prevent a hostile takeover by St. Pierre. They win the cup and get the gambling winnings... only to discover that Kirisaki was already able to complete the takeover before the Monaco Cup ended. | |

Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: Once, when Azuma reacts after tasting an opponent's bread,he pulls out the manga to show Kawachi that his reaction was so profound it changed the title. Note that Volume 17 does technically have a different title (even on the spine) from the rest of the series. It's not uncommon to miss this until it's brought up in the series itself. | |

Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_5300b1de | comment |
Invincible Hero: Azuma, by far. There are only two times he "loses" - the first was in the Monaco Cup, when his bread to help a Formula One racer was not considered the best by said racer (however, the bread that was considered best was in a different bracket, so this had no bearing on Azuma's advancement in the tournament). The second was during the Yakitate 25 arc, when Miki Norihei (based on the Real Life comedian who also is the mascot for a brand of seaweed), which comes off more like parodied Product Placement more than anything else. | |

Karmic Transformation: Yukino is repeatedly shown to be a shallow, vain, and evil person that uses sex appeal and the power from her dad's money to get what she wants. She's eventually changed into a wisp of air that's inhabiting a sex doll - the manga sure isn't saying that's what she really was all along, but it's sure implying it. As for what happens when she no longer has power over anyone, see below. | |

Let's Get Dangerous! | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_562abd51 | comment |
Let's Get Dangerous!: After Suwabara loses to Monica in the Monaco Cup arc, Kawachi is informed that the matches in the Monaco Cup are best two-of-three, and that the US will defeat Japan without Azuma even getting a chance to bake if Kawachi loses. Kawachi doubles down on his preparations and experimentation for his match (to the extent that Suwabara tries to warn Kawachi to take it serious and is shocked that Kawachi already has taken it more seriously than Suwabara thought possible), and Kawachi even tones down his usual reaction antics because he's that focused on winning. He only goes back to his Catchphrase when it's pointed out that Pierrot is deliberately basing his reaction on said Catch Phrase. It's also, by far, Kawachi's most dominant win in the entire series. | |

What he does have is a solid grasp of the fundamentals of baking and unmatched determination. While it might not earn him any respect, it does make him one of the best bakers in the world outside of Kazuma. | |

Fighting from the Inside: Kirisaki's original personality manages to surface just long enough to reveal himself as the man who inspired Azuma to make bread in the first place and thank him to allowing him to be his true self again before the Devil Bread takes him over entirely. Also, Kawaichi manages to temporarily fight back the effects of Kirisaki's mind-control go-pan before he can force feed the bread to Azuma. | |

Accidental Proposal: Downplayed. Azuma gives his Monaco Cup MVP ring to Tsukino to cheer her up... but he doesn't realize he just put it on her left ring finger, or at least is even aware of what putting a ring on that finger means. In fact, neither Kawachi or even Kanmuri realize what Azuma just did either. Only she does, and, though embarrassed, she doesn't bring it up, just takes the gesture as how Azuma sees it, and ultimately accepts the gift regardless. | |

Serious Business | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: Apparently it's serious enough that a cooking duel between breadmakers from two competing bakery chains can warrant a stadium-sized audience and "Death of Anna Nicole Smith"-level media coverage. However, even more serious is the art of reacting to bread: Kuroyanagi has made it clear that he's willing to risk bodily harm and even death for the sake of a reaction. Most evident in the jam match between Kanmuri and Tsutsumi, where his reactions consist of shoving his face into a bowl of boiling hot, flaming jam and suffering serious burns, and then trying to climb into a large pot in order to smoke himself to death. Another reaction has him run off and marry a random Gonk woman with the last name Shima just so he can change his surname (he ends up divorcing her just in time to taste the competition's bread.) | |

Demoted to Comic Relief: Kawachi is introduced as a friend and rival to Azuma, and serves as both the Mr. Exposition and The Watson to the latter's eccentric naivete. He does have some Butt-Monkey tendencies due to his overreactions to Azuma's quirks, but he is still treated as a legitimate baker, and his motive of wanting to continue his late father's dream while making a living for his poor siblings gives him a more dramatic Character Arc than Azuma's simple To Be a Master goal. Until the end of the Pantasia Rookie Tournament Arc, that is, after which he is completely flanderized into The Load whose only purpose is to make a fool of himself by his ignorance and incompetence, and generally be the butt of Cringe Comedy jokes, to the point that his teammates and even his family (you know, his motivation for becoming a baker, and initially a source of drama in his character arc) see him more as an embarrassment than anything else. | |

World of Pun: The various reactions to the dish are based on puns. For example, in one of the earlier chapters someone tests their bread by offering it to a horse. The horse sniffs and blissfully goes ばく ("baku" a common eating onomatopoeia), written as 馬食 ("horse eats"). Guess it's a male horse. | |

Azuma reacted so strongly to a competitor's bread that the manga changed its name to It's Yakitate!! Japan. Azuma even hands Kawachi a copy of the manga to prove it. This happens in the anime too, and they rewind back to the opening credits to see it. | |

Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_8a07e085 | comment |
Denser and Wackier: While this is already a fairly comedic series out of the gate, went completely insane as the series went on. Originally, really good bread would just cause a comedic reaction from the taster, but over time, said reactions would become so extreme that it caused the entire fabric of reality to come unravelled, sending people on a round trip to the afterlife, turning them into animals, causing someone to go back in time and prevent the death of his mother, altering the real-life book the chapter is printed in and in the Big Bad's case, turning them into a monstrous human-bread hybrid. | |

No-Respect Guy: Kawachi is an excellent baker (his only losses in competition are either due to outside interference or to Azuma) and he's more than willing to do whatever it takes to ensure his victories, and even his worst moments have sympathetic motives (namely, to help support his family). He's even instrumental in Azuma and friends' victories in many of the arcs. The way everyone treats him, however, you'd think he was an incompetent bum that should count himself lucky to be tolerated by everyone else. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: In the manga, Yukino gets turned into a wisp of air, which is then forced to inhabit a sex doll and thus can no longer move under her own power, and she gets abandoned in the middle of nowhere during the climax of the Hu-Pan confrontation. The last chapter even makes a point of averting What Happened to the Mouse? to show that she's still stuck there after three years have passed. | |

Art Shift: The Flashback sequence where Kuroyanagi recalls being an exchange student in America. He's drawn in an anime style, yet his American classmates are all drawn in a more realistic "Western" style. The recurring character named "Kid" is also drawn in this style whenever he appears. Miki Norihei is drawn as a caricature that resembles his Momoya commercial persona. | |

Can't Catch Up: Kawachi is actually pretty good at baking bread overall: he did pull his own weight at various Pantasia branches, and he manages to win several matches on his own - in fact, his only outright loss to anyone other than Azuma was a result of sabotage. He's just not nearly as good as Azuma, who starts better and quickly surpasses pretty much the entire world of baking. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: After transforming into several pathetic forms due to reactions, Kawachi eventually became so good at reactions that he transformed into a muscular Chopin from eating Kazuma's bread. This allowed him to win a brawl with the devil bread. In the last chapters, his reaction even manages to save the world from flooding. | |

Foreshadowing: Exaggerated: There are plenty of hints that the baker with a beard but no mustache that taught Azuma about bread-making and Ja-pan is Yuichi Kirisaki, ruthless owner of Pantasia's rival St. Pierre well before The Reveal is officially made near the end of the series. Azuma not piecing this together despite his flashbacks showing that his teacher's bakery was ALSO called St. Pierre is practically a running gag. | |

Doppelgänger Spin: A variation, in that Kageto Kinoshita doesn't use it to attack, but rather to make "clones" of himself so he can get his and everybody else's work done. Tournament Judge Pierrot Bolnez also has this talent used to taste all of the submissions at once. Both characters learned this technique while working in the circus, surprisingly. The characters catch on to this, saying "Maybe all clowns can create clones of themselves these days." Or words to that effect. | |

Shout-Out | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Only in the anime, a 2 in 1 Shout-Out by the Egyptian representatives who introduced themselves as Blue Sphinx, Cleopatra Pink and Pyramid Red. One is a way of naming stands in the early parts of Stardust Crusaders, (e.g. Magician's Red, Hierophant Green) The other is a tribute to Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, with the blue and red rangers are associated with the sphinx and the pyramid respectively. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: Though he doesn't have any special innate abilities like Azuma has, Kawachi is eventually able to gain his own version of the Solar Hands (called Solar Gauntlets) as well as superhuman finger dexterity, though grueling physical training. | |

Informed Ability | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_ca3a6dbd | comment |
Informed Ability: Kai Suwabara is mentioned from the get-go as being one of the greatest young bread makers in a generation, having already won a major competition before even applying to work at Pantasia. He's then widely seen as the competitor to beat in the Pantasia rookie tournament. His actual victory count in-series? One. He only gets the job at the main Pantasia branch because both Kawachi and Azuma drop out. He gets to the semifinals of the rookie tournament because his opponents withdraw; he then loses to Azuma and ties Kawachi in the runner-up match. His bread in the Monaco Cup semifinals isn't tasted, and he loses to Monica in the finals. His final match, against Azuma in 'Yakitate! 25', is once again a loss. The only battle he wins is in the Monaco Cup second preliminary, where he's at a disadvantage due to having to use a huge number of ingredients, but he manages to produce a bread better than the French team's. | |

Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: It's safe to say that if most people reacted to tasting bread the way the people in this series do, bread would be immediately classified as a Schedule I Controlled Substance. It's not just bread. In this series, any type of food can produce astounding reactions as long as the chef is good enough. Let's put it like this; one of the first reactions we saw was a guy bending himself to look like a crescent moon. Fast-forward a few arcs and we have a guy travelling through time. Fast-forward some more and we have people actually entering "reaction worlds" and Shapeshifting. | |

Death by Childbirth: The former Queen of Monaco died shortly after giving birth. Zig-Zagged when Pierrot travels back in time and learns that his mother had gorged herself on extreme amounts of food during her pregnancy, erroneously believing it would provide more nutrients to her child, and more than likely died as a result of complications stemming from morbid obesity. | |

Handmade Is Better | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_d8dd1dc3 | comment |
Handmade Is Better: Alluded in the early chapters where Manager Ken Matsushiro mocks inferior bakers as "bread-making machines". Kawachi takes offense at this, and Ken challenges him and Azuma to put their heart and soul into their craft to make better bread. At the end of the Monaco Cup, Azuma manages to best Shadow in the Grand Finals to achieve victory for Team Japan, even though Shadow had used his Power Copying abilities to be able bake as well as Yuichi Kirisaki. When Shadow complains to Kirisaki about this loss, Kirisaki admits that Azuma has now surpassed his skill. He also mentions Azuma had made a lot of his own ingredients (including sugar) while Shadow uses store bought ones, citing the old "Handmade is better" dogma as part of his explanation. | |

Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_dc020791 | comment |
It's Been Done: A running gag in the series is that Azuma has very little knowledge of the breads of the world, and yet once a bread has been described to him, he will have a Ja-Pan prototype of it, meaning in his quest to create a bread for Japan, Azuma has independently "invented" most of the breads of the world on his own. | |

Ship Tease | |
Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Tsukino licks her lips while baking an Azuma shaped bread. She also licks her hand where Azuma touched her in the 3rd episode. The two are often seen together in manga and video covers. When the gang are sulking at the beach upon hearing the news that St. Pierre has successfully taken over Pantasia despite their victory at the Monaco Cup, rendering their victory pointless, Azuma goes up to Tsukino, [[who naturally takes the news the hardest]], and he gives her the ring he won as MVP of the Monaco Cup to both cheer her up and as payback for the headband she gave him. The catch? He puts it on her left ring finger and not only is he oblivious to what he just did, but she's the only one who even notices at all. Not even Kanmuri noticed. She decides not to point out he just made an Accidental Proposal, and happily accept the gift as is. In the manga, when the quartet leave the beach, she's happily got her hands on Azuma's shoulders. | |

Yakitate!! Japan (Manga) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Yukino Azusagawa, period. Yuuichi Kirisaki is also just as hateable, but then it's revealed that his actions were merely because of the Maou Go-Pan, which he ended up becoming so addicted to, the evil spirit from making that bread possessed him, and eventually makes a Heel–Face Turn once he's freed. Indeed, only Yukino is the most hated character in the series ever, which makes her Laser Guided Karmic Transformation all the more satisfying, as she can no longer act on her own, so she no longer has power over Pantasia, St. Pierre, and everything else. | |

Harsh Talent Show Judge: Ryo Kuroyanagi is Pantasia's go-to examiner for new recruits, and judge for the Newcomer's Battle. He's infamous for his almost sadistic habit of demeaning aspiring bakers who doesn't fit his high standards. His Establishing Character Moment has him kick out three recruits before the exam even starts because he doesn't like their physical appearance (rather than anything to do with their skills), and he'd frequently call bakers who produce inferior bread as "trash". | |

Conspicuous Trenchcoat: The Kaiser brothers are usually stacked on top of one another and covered by a wrap-around cloak. Normally more than one head protrudes from the cloak, but the cloak hides the actual way in which they're stacked (including their legs and feet), so when it finally gets revealed, it creates a great shock. | |
