Now, to France!! Aiming for the Monaco Cup!
With hope in their hearts, Kawachi, Azuma, Suwabara, and Kuroyanagi head to France. There, they not only meet their trainer and hostest for the next month, Sophie Balzac Kirisaki of the Gordon Blue Bakery, but they also find that the main competitors of Gordon Blue, the Mayson Kayser, have opened a new Main Branch right across the street from the Gordon Blue! In addition, the Mayson Kayser hosts the world's most elite of bakers! How can the Japanese Representitives survive the Monaco Cup with people like this in the running?!
Aired 17/05/2005EP 30 - Now, to France!! Aiming for the Monaco Cup!

Yakitate!! Japan
Kazuma Azuma wants to make bread. Not just any kind of bread, though. He wants to make a bread that represents Japan itself and can stand toe-to-toe with rice as a national food. Thanks to his legendary "Hands of the Sun," unnaturally warm hands that allow dough to ferment faster, Kazuma's bread is like a slice of Heaven.
And when the Pantasia Rookie Competition arrives, everyone will get a taste of his skill! Along with his friend Kawachi (who's only in it for the dough), he’ll go up against koala karate masters, Harvard bread scientists, samurai with rolling-pin swords, and more! Can Kazuma create bread like naan other and bake his way to glory, or should he quit before he's toast?
