The first part of the quarter-finals in Monaco is to make bread in less than 60 minutes; only then will 8 teams be left. The Japanese team nearly didn't pass because of one fatal mistake made by Azuma, using a microwave; it is revealed that Pierrot has an utter disdain for microwaves. It flashes back to Pierrot's plane trip to America; the former ringmaster warns that Americans will sue over anything, in which he relays a story of an old woman microwaving her cat, which is the source of Pierrot's hatred. In order to save team Japan, Shachihoko explains to Pierrot that it was only an urban legend and it wasn't real. After hearing this, Pierrot passes team Japan.
