Kazuma is devastated when he's disqualified from the Monaco Cup after losing a bagel-making contest to Meister Kirisaki. Feeling lost and unsure of what to do next, Kazuma visits the local bread museum and meets an eccentric baker named Ultra C. Ultra C takes Kazuma under his wing and introduces him to his crazy bread-making techniques, which include using a giant robot to knead dough. Kazuma is skeptical at first, but he soon realizes that Ultra C's methods might be just what he needs to beat Kirisaki and earn a spot in the final round of the Monaco Cup.
With Ultra C's help, Kazuma sets out to create the ultimate bread. He experiments with different ingredients, including tomatoes and potatoes, and even tries baking bread underwater. Meanwhile, Kirisaki continues to dominate the competition by creating innovative and delicious breads that impress the judges. Kazuma is determined to catch up, but his efforts are hampered by setbacks and failures.
As the deadline for the final round approaches, Kazuma begins to doubt his abilities. He starts to question his passion for bread-making and wonders if he should just give up. Ultra C reminds Kazuma of the importance of enjoying the process of creating and urges him to keep going.
In the final round of the Monaco Cup, Kazuma faces off against Kirisaki and his latest creation, a bread that incorporates a variety of exotic spices from around the world. Kazuma unveils his own creation, a bread that combines the flavors of Japan and France. The judges are blown away by both breads and declare the competition a tie. However, one of the judges reveals that he has a personal connection to Kazuma's bread, and he casts the deciding vote in Kazuma's favor.
Kazuma is declared the winner of the Monaco Cup and is hailed as a hero by his friends and fans. He realizes that his love for bread-making runs deep and that he's willing to do whatever it takes to create the best bread possible. As the episode ends, Kazuma reflects on his journey and looks forward to future challenges and adventures in the world of bread-making.
