!!This episode contains examples of:
* BalloonBelly: This happened to Yuya's monsters due to the effect of Michio's monsters.
* LethalJokeCharacter: In grand ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' tradition, just because one acts silly and uses a ridiculous archetype like cooking, doesn't mean a thing if they can still beat you into the floor.
* SupremeChef: Michio is not only a powerful duelist; he's also a professional cook whose published a recipe book.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Mokota's Cookpals are weak individually, relying on each others' effects to make them stronger and launch a successful attack.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Mokota's mother dotes on him in public, and he's clearly a MamasBoy. His dad, not so much.
* AnthropomorphicFood: Michio's "Cookpal" monsters; the Action Duel simulates cooking them into stronger Royal Cookpals, including Knight Napolitan, Prince Curry, and Princess Pudding.

* ChefOfIron: Michio, sort of, seeing as the Solid Vision creates the illusion of it, but he does seem to subcribe to Emeril Lagasse's style of cooking.
* ForceFeeding: Michio's monsters use an effect that does this to Yuya's monsters, feeding them until they ''explode''.
* GiantFood: Not just food. The Action field is a giant kitchen with appliances to scale, used by Michio to "cook" AnthropomorphicFood.
* GrowlingGut: Poor Yuya; this is ''not'' the best opponent to duel in front of an audience after skipping breakfast.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Naturally, a ''lot'' of dialogue between the two duelists consists of gags using cooking, food, and eating puns, more notable in the dub.

* LostMyAppetite: Originalversion only, Yuya's reaction to the Cookpals. (In the dub version, he and his three supporters think they look delicious, [[LetsMeetTheMeat which is kind of disturbing.]])
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Most of Sora's duel (where his opponent is a Sumo) is offscreen.

* AnthropomorphicFood: Michio's "Cookpal" monsters; the Action Duel simulates cooking them into stronger Royal Cookpals, including Knight Napolitan, Prince Curry, King Hamburg, Queen Omelette and Princess Pudding.

* GiantFood: Not just food. The Action field is a giant kitchen with appliances to scale, used by Michio to "cook" AntropomorphicFood.
