Toradora!: Bento Battle
とらドラ！ 弁当の極意An unaired episode included in the Blu-ray box set. Yuusaku brings an extravagant bento box to share with the class, which makes Ryuuji feel inferior about his own bento making skills. Desperate to beat his bentos, Ryuuji obsessively tries to compete against them to the point where he even brings a rice cooker to school. After Taiga brings him some salty onigiri, Ryuuji realises that the true meaning of bentos is not the taste, but the feelings that are put into it. (Source: Wikipedia)

Not as good as the main series but, just as funny. Trying to compete with someone who cooks for love.

Loved this episode! Made me wanna eat so much noodles and teriyaki chicken and steamed veggies in sow sauce...anyway, what was really interesting was the ending and how Taiga and Ryuuji acted at the end. Since this was an un-aired episode, I am wondering if this was meant to be released during the beginning of the show. I ask this because the chemistry between Taiga and Ryuuji seems to be closer and because the opening and closing titles are from the first part of the anime. I dunno, I could just be rambling @.@
Any who I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Hope you did too! Btw, Kitamura's laugh is the best thing ever. Besides Ryuuji's cooking skills of course ;) Or Kitamura's Grandma's...?
