* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Averted. Reachy completely fails to realize how stalemates work, which Nori has to explain to them. When they undo their move, they then put their queen right next to Nori's king, allowing them to take the queen and [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption enter another stalemate because neither's king can get near the other.]] Upon playing another game, Reachy makes a move very early on that immediately checks them.

Nori (Satomi) was walking down the sidewalk when they accidentally trip over a hand. The hand in question turns out to be a sentient one named Reachy (Pokey) and a GameShowHost looking for potential contestants which Nori eagerly participates. Since they are the only contestant, Nori automatically wins and receives the grand prize of.... a single grain of rice like the title suggests.
Understandably, Nori is extremely disappointed and complains about the prize but Reachy explains the catch, they can keep the grain or double it every time they win an episode. Liking those odds, Nori decides to continue and thus begins the ''Battle For Rice''.
Here is the [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL78DUwQjafNoPHklUVPJy4p9-hDj6sjYU playlist]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MftM9E7Xpog intro]].
!!Contains the following tropes:
* ADogNamedDog: A dried seaweed sheet named Nori to be exact.
* ALizardnamedLiz: Reachy is named after how hands (Their [[HelpingHands species]]) are able to reach things with the common "-y" suffix.
* AnimateInanimateObject: As one of many ObjectShows to date, the cast is all anthropomorphic objects and are [[ADogNamedDog named]] [[ALizardNamedLiz accordingly]].
* TheBlank: Reachy is only just a hand with no facial features and can only express by moving their fingers. They can still somehow talk [[NoMouth without a mouth]] though.
* ExtremelyShortIntroSequence: The intro is merely a two-second clip of a guitar riff while Reachy tosses the rice grain over the title card to Nori.
* FingerMuzzle: Reachy does this to shush and calm down a panicking Nori when they first met.
* HelpingHands: Reachy is a sentient hand who is both an affable and reasonable host to Nori.
* MinimalistCast: Officially the smallest {{Object Show|s}} to date with only one host and one contestant, putting the previous record holders of ''WebAnimation/BattleShowCoolYeah'' and ''[[WebAnimation/BattleForObjectDestination Earthquake]]'' to shame.
