Thanks for the info, Neoblisseyx. No big deal. I'm just doing my civic duty as a long-time fan of Iron Chef.

FilmRise content update:
A new batch of 26 episodes has been added from the "Episode One" era (going back to the episodes which aired on Food Network from 2001 to around 2006).
This 26-episode batch includes both the "Legend of Michiba" and "Legend of Chen and Sakai" compilation episodes that, if memory serves me right, were produced exclusively for Food Network.
This batch is referred to as Season 4 on the FilmRise app.

It's unclear what, exactly, "Season 4" really consists of.

It's unclear what, exactly, "Season 4" really consists of. Tetsujin, FilmRise is apparently adding episodes to the app over time. As for the episodes "Season 4" consists of, (excluding the "Legend of" compilation episodes) they are (utilizing the episode list on ICF) episodes 214 (Battle Bamboo Shoots-Takahashi v. Chen) to 237 (Battle Yam-Fujii v. Sakai) from 1994.

Thanks for the info, Neoblisseyx. That would be the first 24 battles broadcast under the 60-minute format (during the original run on Fuji TV.

Two more batches of episodes ("Season 5" and "Season 6") have been posted, but they are so wildly out of order that it even isn't worth telling you which ones they are.
For example, they jump from the France Battles special (episodes 415 and 416), before jumping back to Battle Prawn-Saito v. Chen (episode 238) in the "Season 5" batch!

The "Season 1," "Season 2," "Season 3" and "Season 4" batches of episodes are also now available on Tubi, a free streaming service that features a section dedicated to FilmRise-distributed content. Tubi can be viewed directly from its website or on apps for Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, XBOX, PlayStation, Chromecast, iOS and Android devices. tubitv.com/series/300007945/iron-chef?start=true

That's why I'm advocating for the use of ICF downloads if one has them...or using Tubi's ad-supported presentations if in a pinch.

The France Battles special first aired in the United States on August 18th, 2002. FilmRise might simply be following the U.S. airing order in its streaming release of Iron Chef.

It is so great that these episodes are officially available for streaming and so very sad that it’s the gutted Fine Living broadcasts with the new music. The Backdraft music is an integral part of the experience, in my opinion. I wish Fuji would reach out to Universal/Hans Zimmer’s team and try to strike up a deal.

Pluto TV, a free streaming service owned by ViacomCBS and which has scheduled channels similar to regular cable TV, has launched a 24-7 "Iron Chef" channel, presumably based on the FilmRise releases. It can be viewed directly on the Pluto TV website at the link below, or on channel 603 if you access Pluto TV through its app on mobile and set-top devices. www.pluto.tv/live-tv/iron-chef-ptv2

In addition to the 24/7 "Iron Chef" channel, Pluto TV now has "Iron Chef" in its On Demand section, but only the first 3 "Season" blocks of episodes.

Just found this website via the Iron Chef Fans site, which I've had bookmarked for years, just never noticed the links section lol. So glad to see Iron Chef is on Tubi/Pluto TV. I was able to grab the episodes from ICF a few years back, I'm guessing that's the most complete any of us will have to a full set of episodes, regardless of episode language, music, dubbing, etc. Glad to be here and learn what others have and sharing information
