The theme is not revealed at the moment but the battle system is revealed. They say that the battle will be divided into 4 quarters with relay system for 4 battles. But it will be one hour on-air... I wonder how they would edit? The fans are commenting in FB page that the circumstances sound the very best but show-time is too short...

According to the TV program guide I got today, the air will be one hour... I wonder why? Tag-team match or...?
The guide says that American representatives are three chefs of the following restaurants:
CityZen Craigie on Main Palena

Actually I have been looking for this battle's video these days but I just could find only promo video due to their language... Thank you so much, okonomiyagi!
I wonder if maybe ICT would have someone from original ICJ as a guest challenger again in the future? How did you find this battle's video? Translated each video title one by one by google?
Anyway thanks!

I too found the article about that American Chef aggregation. It's on the US Embassy in Japan: japanese.japan.usembassy.gov/j/p/tpj-20121227a.htmlwww.myfood.jp/w_myfood/interview/2012/12/post.htmlIt says that a member from American Chef Aggregation did a cooking demonstration event with Alaska Salmon in Tokyo in December. Looks like they are doing cooking diplomacy by introducing their local ingredient. It leads me to remember that new ICJ got a collaboration from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan as a nominator in the episode #2. (Kurogi's debut battle) Thinking about it, I guess Iron Chef got government's cooperation about food culture? Anyway our guesses may be possible. Exciting.

Wow. Likely... I wonder if that's why they described "Iron Chef Presents...Culinary World Cup" in their video at 0:52.
If so, the challengers may not be from ICA. (and no, maybe we shouldn't call "challengers" in this case.)
Thank you, Tets, for this interesting article. I would share this info with other fans in JP.

My pleasure. I have no idea about the challengers but maybe it would be some hint that at 0:29 on the preview video, they say: ヒラリー・クリントンが設立したアメリカ政府トップシェフ集団が来日! The U.S. government top chef aggregation that Hilary Clinton established is coming to Japan! Is there such a group?

Thanks, HC, Mandy! Looks like I should get the second edition. Sounds very nice for me to be able to learn English more by reading something I have a great interest in. I would love to have both Japanese version and English version. ;D
I've been getting Iron Chef information only via internet so far but I'm sure I would have a further good time to know more about it and share the same information with everyone by reading the official book. I think it's a good opportunity because the new ICJ show is finished now...

Thank you, okonomiyagi, for your help! Yes, the challenger's attitude was "condescending". I don't have the official book (I wonder if I could buy Japanese version at Amazon?) but I, too, have read that Michiba referred to a certain rude challenger's attitude somewhere. Now I've just checked Amazon for the Ryouri no Tetsujin book in Japanese version and...there are a variety of books! (all used one...) Sadly (Fortunately?) they are all cheap.

Oh, my gosh!! Oh, my gosh!! I just found one of the most famous rumors among Japanese fans in this one! (Episode #210's challenger)
I just started to watch Ep#210. When the challenger chose the Iron Chef Sakai, he said, "Sakai, Kinasai!!". He NOT ONLY called Sakai's name without an honorific title BUT ALSO used very pompous expression, "Kinasai". Aha! That rumor was just about this episode! I finally found it! Thank you, Keith, for posting this!
Sorry, I'm excited. Please let me explain. "Sakai, Kinasai!!" means surely "Come on, Sakai." but it is very...what should I say...um...top-to-down expression in Japanese, like a teacher uses for students, parents say to their kids, a boss calls a staff or you call your pets!
As many of you know, we usually call other's name "---san" in Japan, especially definitely use "-san" with family name in a public scene, except pretty casual and close friend relationship among men. (I of course know other countries are different.) Also, the nuance of "Kinasai" is just a command from above.
You can hear other challengers say, "xxx-san (or xxx chef), Onegaishimasu!" (= Mr. xxx ( or Chef xxx), Please) even if the Iron Chef is younger than him/her.
