Line 35:
** Former baseball player and sports commentator Kazushige Nagashima also would receive bigger portions when he judged. He was teased about it every time.
** Quite a number of judges have tasted a LOT of dishes. Shinichiro Kurimoto was shocked to find out just how much he's had. According to Kaga, over the course of the series run he consumed 2,389,995 calories, and had to undertake a strict exercise regimen.
* [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]]: well, about as close as a kitchen knife can get to becoming one anyway. Wielded by Takashi Mera in Battle Tuna against Iron Chef Michiba. The blade was long enough to be comparable to a samurai's short sword...naturally lampshaded throughout the entire battle.
* [[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.
