Azuma and Kawachi are wondering why the store doesn't get more customers when the main store has lines dragging on and on. When they ask Ken, he points out that the main branch of St. Pierre, a rival bakery, is across the street. Soon, they meet the manager, a very effeminate man (it is strongly insinuated that he is gay) named Mokoyama, who is about to release St. Pierre's new line of bread. However, Ken tells Mokoyama Azuma is a much better baker, and he challenges the St. Pierre branch to a duel: Azuma's newest Japan against his new line. St. Pierre accepts, but the main Pantasia branch knows nothing about the challenge, or Azuma's new Japan, and their entire reputation is resting on their newest employee - especially since the duel will be broadcast on television.
パンタジア青山本店の盛況ぶりに比べ、パンタジア南東京支店の営業が振るわない。斜向かいに立つライバルベーカリーに客を奪われているせいだ。その店、サンピエール東京本店の店長・模糊山剛と初めて出会った和馬はジャぱんを思いっきりバカにされてしまう。更にあからさまな挑発を続ける模糊山に対し、テレビでの新作パン対決を挑む松代だが・・・。
Azuma y Kawachi se preguntan por qué la tienda no tiene más clientes cuando la tienda principal tiene filas que se prolongan. Cuando le preguntan a Ken, él señala que la sucursal principal de St. Pierre, una panadería rival, está al otro lado de la calle.
