[Note: This review will discuss possible battle spoilers for the episode. If you are squeamish about spoilers, or you would rather wait for the HD version of the episode to be made available online, do not read the review.]
Everybody Gone? Okay.
About the battle:
After the victories by the new Iron Chef French and Chinese, it was the new Iron Chef Japanese Jun Kuroki's turn to do battle in the new Kitchen Stadium. The nominee this go around is a French chef supported by the ministry of agriculture, forestry and Fisheries and was presented by two men from the department(I assume). There was an Ota faction-like turnout for the nominee, but will the Iron Chef Japanese work around that?
The Dishes:
Each chef to my count presented five dishes, including a dessert by the nominee(not so sure about the Iron Chef). There was a mishap by the nominee as the herbs that he was cooking burned on the grill pan, but I am not sure if that was intentional.
Best Dish from the Nominee: Croquettes with a sauce.(presented as dish 2)
Best Dish from the Iron Chef: Meatball soup with mushroom(not sure when it was presented).
The Judges: We know of three that were on the panel, Rokusaburo Michiba, Yuki Uchida, and Ikuta Toma.
The Verdict: The Nominee Won 3-2.

I'm watching this now. I'm just through the video about the challenger at the beginning. When they were talking about the Ryori Masters group at the beginning of it, I said out loud, "I wonder if this will be the new Ota Faction."
And to everyone, I should have an HQ version up on the site by tonight. (I can't do much during the day today because I'm at work, but I'll get it uploaded as soon as I get home.)

I'm still impressed by the presentation of this series. It's very enjoyable to watch, even with the language barrier. There's a sense of reverence for the original series and all of those who participated in it, and the show moves the format forward into the modern TV era in such an elegant way.
Part of me wonders if Alton Brown has seen this yet. He's a noted fan of the original series, so I bet he'd enjoy this revival.
