Episode Title:
The Sun VS The Blizzard! The Ultimate Tart Showdown!.
Episode Description:
Kazuma vs Yukino in the semi-final of Yakitate!! 9. The theme is Tomiura and they must make a tart from the fruit grown there: either strawberries or loquats. After a look around town Kazuma sees Yukino beat an old man because of his poor loquat preservatives. Kazuma makes a promise to the old man to use his loquats in his tart during the match so he can prove to Yukino they truly are delicious. At the match itself, Yukino stuns the audience by folding her dough in butter rather than the other way round, but Kazuma shocks everyone by folding his dough so thin it is almost invisible...
