The [[Edible Theme Naming|Republic of Biscotti and the Kingdom of Galette]] are [[Good Republic, Evil Empire|at war]], a literal battle of cats and dogs. Biscotti needs to tip the odds in their favor, and so they decide to summon a hero. That hero turns out to be 13-year-old [[But Not Too Foreign|Japanese-British]] [[Ordinary High School Student|middle-school student]] Cinque Izumi. While trying to cut class and practice for an upcoming athletic meet, Cinque ends up somersaulting into a magic portal that takes him to the magical land of Fronaldo, where he is the hero. Now he has to learn to be one.

* [[Defeat by Modesty]]: Double-subverted -- after a Cinque/Eclair combo blows off her outer clothing, Leonmichelle simply shrugs it off. Given the nature of the war games, this may have happened to her before. She still however surrenders, but not out of any embarrassment on her part.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Eclair.

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: HERO KIIIIICK!

** Eclair does this to Cinque {{spoiler|in Episode 4 after he inadvertently accepts a declaration of war.}} [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You|In Biscotti]], [[Kick the Dog|dog kicks you]].

** Mixed with [[Gratuitous French]] and [[Colorful Theme Naming]]: Framboise (raspberry), Jaune (yellow) [[wikipedia:Clafoutis|Clafoutis]], [[wikipedia:Brioche|Brioche]] d'Arquien, Vert (green) [[wikipedia:Far Breton|Far Breton]]...

*** [[Bilingual Bonus|Making this show incredibly hilarious to anyone who can speak French, Italian, or both]]; since it always seems like everyone is talking about food all the time.
