The fourth match of Yakitate!! 9 begins and the theme is ÅŒmagari, a place which is famous for curved things such as bent houses. Pantasia's opponents are two mysterious ninjas and using the region's specialty, bent scallions, Azuma must make a Japan that will surely defeat his fierce opponents. Ironically, during the course of the episode, both teams independently come up with the same idea, down to the ingredients and styles of preparation; however, the St. Pierre ninjas have a secret technique that they believe will give them the edge. This episode parodied the popular anime series Naruto.
