Watching the New Year's Special between Kurogi and Michiba got me thinking...
We all know the original series ended with the four active Iron Chefs battling each other to determine the King of Iron Chefs...
But what if the Honorary Iron Chefs also competed in that kind of tournament? Would Sakai retain his crown, or would Michiba have something to say about that?
Of course, since there are only 7 Iron Chefs...who could fill the last slot to make the tournament structure all nice and neat?
Discuss.

To me, the eighth chef should be someone of HUGE stature in the cooking world, and/or perhaps someone who actually defeated one of the Iron Chefs during the course of the original series.

The eighth slot would have to go to Toshiro Kandagawa. He was the only man who defeated an Iron Chef in their respective cuisines(Chen, Nakamura and Sakai).
Or barring that, the current Iron Chef Chinese Yuji Wakiya since he was named an Iron Chef since the Millennium Cup.

I think we'd need to have a play-in to fill that 8th slot. Yuji "Mr. Perfect" Wakiya vs. Toshiro Kandagawa?
So what if, then, the match-ups were like this:
Slot 8 vs. Michiba Kobe vs. Ishinabe Chen vs. Morimoto Sakai vs. Nakamura
Semis: Winner of Michiba/Slot 8 vs. Winner of Kobe/Ishinabe Winner of Chen/Morimoto vs. Winner of Sakai/Nakamura
Finals: duh
