Line 38:
* [[Celebrity Endorsement]]: Chairman Kaga (the character) was in some commercials for various Nissan cars. Granted, Nissan was ''Iron Chef'''s main sponsor, but still.
* [[Chef of Iron]]: Occasionally, chefs that have had some martial arts training come in. A notable example would be Lin Kunbi (Note: subject to [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]), who was a six-degree black belt in karate, and challenged both Michiba (initiating the first overtime battle) and Nakamura.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Sometimes the nature of the translation from Japanese to English imposes this on the result. For example:
{{quote|"It will be sweet, right? With the pineapples?"
"With the pineapples, yeah. Sweet and sour."
Line 86:
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Kandagawa and the Ohta Faction for Morimoto, Hei Chin Rou for Chen, Club Mistral for Ishinabe and Sakai and Serie A/"The Big Leaguers" for Kobe. Notable in that each declared the Iron Chefs Worthy Opponents to ''them''.
** Kandagawa to all the Iron Chefs in general, really, particularly Michiba. He's battled Iron Chefs a total of ''five'' times, and numerous apprentices of his did the same before the Ohta. His final tally was three wins, two losses.
