Rachels Battlecry at the successful last slide was a thing of beauty!

[@stephen1r2]

A somewhat shy, but clearly epic background (for now) character

[@racheldolfi6533]

Lol!! That’s an amazing description, thank you so much ❤️😂

One Piece movie 6 is really underrated. A mix between horror and action, and one of the best cooking scenes from Sanji? I'm all in!

[@yantarypimplar]

👌

[@ryotanada]

I did a quick search and yep. The same One Piece movie that nearly scarred me for life when I was like 9. Glad to be reminded there's more to it, like this one!

[@Stipopedia]

Also the unique animation style

[@amitaikatz5929]

Especially when that animation came from the same director of Wolf Children

[@imaferretmaster]

Personally I think One Piece movie 6, Baron Omatsuri is an undisputed masterpiece. The unique animation style and visionary direction of Mamoru Hosoda easily makes it one of the best films in the entire One Piece cinematic catalog.

[@AntiTheory]

Alvin: "It is difficult to just make noodles on your own" Babish: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"

[@-Raylight]

I always thought the Bonito Flakes are alive as a child when eating Takoyaki or Okonomiyaki 🤣 That looked so delicious! Sanji would be proud if he can see it with both of his eyes!

[@Hawk7886]

the way they melt/move around with steam sure makes them look alive!

[@JantDarvus]

At the end, I did find it somewhat mesmerising the way they seemed to be waving around.

[@mon6745]

My heart skipped a beat everytime Alvin flipped it 😂😂😂 Alvin is the best lolol

[@ydalir]

In reality okonomiyaki is actually extremely, extremely battery (which is why I am not such a big fan---probably one of the heaviest Japanese foods) but your lighter version looks far more delicious. Also, okonomiyaki made with noodles is normally referred to as Hiroshima style okonomiyaki (whereas the version without is Osaka style). It seems the modān version you're referring to is differentiated from Hiroshima style by the fact that modān okonomiyaki mixes the noodles with the batter whereas Hiroshima style places it on top. But I've only really heard Japanese people refer to the two city types as the baseline!

[@solusprime1498]

fuuny enough i like the batteryness of it and i gasped when alvin didnt mix the cabbage into the batter

[@joshuaolmsted2865]

@@solusprime1498 This in a nutshell is the crux of the endless debate/fight between Osaka and Hiroshima style. @ydalir, I'm surprised that you find Hiroshima style okonomiyaki to also be battery, I've found that it typically is much lighter, though that may just be my recollection from the few okonomiyaki restaurants I visited in Hiroshima. I do love that Alvin went for this style, as I think that you see a lot more Osaka style made on English-speaking KZbin cooking channels on account of it being easier to make.

[@lucinae8510]

I prefer it without noodles because that's too much carbs for me, which I usually hear called Kansai style. Tokyo has a similar dish called Monjayaki, which more resembles pancakes since uses a different kind of batter and more varieties of toppings.

[@toryumau6798]

… Everybody’s always goin’ back and forth between Hiroshima and Ōsaka, but what about the fluffy glory of a *THICC* Kansai style okonomiyaki with extra super delux ōmori toppings, eh? >):^D

[@ydalir]

@@joshuaolmsted2865 I think because using noodles tends to mean a little less batter get's used, and also that that batter gets fully cooked. The thing that makes okonomiyaki hard for me is just the fact that its served in a sort of half-cooked state which makes it feel way heavier in my stomach. The noodles in Hiroshima style okonomiyaki break it up a bit for me in a way that makes it feel more digestible.

[@claytonrios1]

Never change Sanji. You're the best chef that the Straw Hats could ask for!

his name is Alvin

[@4rdency]

The next Anime with Alvin should be the giant meal in The Way of the Househusband that Tatsu makes for his wife. They even tell you what the dishes are as well!

[@alexandreribeirozanardo64]

Anime’s with Alvin is becoming my new obsession! Very nice to see how a dish would look like in real life! Awesome vid as always!

[@titangirl161]

I like that Sanji is featured a lot of this show. After all, his food always looks amazing

[@earthknight60]

With the okonomiyaki I've had the cabbage and fillings are mixed with some batter as well, they're not tossed on top of already cooked batter. There is a light bread-like aspect all through the dish.

[@cbrubbermanlol2120]

You're telling me the Babishverse didn't do all out and make a person sized Okonomiyaki to be show accurate? I'm shocked and appalled 😂

[@ampersand.8888]

And if anyone knows about making giant foods, it’s Alvin!

[@Flo-4513]

You've been absolutely nailing it lately, Alvin! 👏👏👏

[@fernandorivera9701]

Every time Alvin makes a One Piece dish, I fall more in love with this channel

[@diefty94]

Personally I think One Piece movie 6, Baron Omatsuri is an undisputed masterpiece. The unique animation style and visionary direction of Mamoru Hosoda easily makes it one of the best films in the entire One Piece cinematic catalog.

[@StevenPilkington]

Never imagined an Ooni pizza peel could work double time as an okonomiyaki flipper! 😮

[@emorydaniel9084]

I like this seems like a play on Hiroshima okonomiyaki complete with the thin crepe like use of the batter and the use of yakisoba noodles. Kansai and Hiroshima style are delicious in their own way and I’m thrilled that Babish culinary universe has now shown both!

[@dimmingstar]

you're a breath of fresh air every time Alvin, thank you so much for every episode

[@elcactus6229]

I like that every dish Alvin make he always share with the crew. It's nice.

[@bogosbinted1]

He quite literally, made the one piece real

[@NickSquaredTV]

Major, major props for successfully flipping that thing so many times. I’m stunned.

[@Shadowxx98]

One round of applause for Alvins flipping skills

[@paytonturner1421]

Nice recreation of this awesome one piece dish. 👍👌💯❤️

[@luukofzpoye2234]

ive just now realized Alvin is Alvin Zhou and this is a crossover i never knew i needed

[@sadiqjunaid920]

Loved the cooking the most in the movie

[@peterfrank3365]

I've been requesting this one. Thanks, Alvin.

[@williamreinhard]

This looks like an insane plate of food and I really want to try it. I have no concept of what it would taste like.

[@flammablewater1755]

It's an umami bomb. It's concentrated comfort food.

[@angelo686]

I just started following you about 2 days ago and one piece of my favorite anime of all time. I'm glad i found your channel for sure now

[@Lostinfantry868]

Would you guys ever try to do your take on a mythical dish from Toriko? What would Alvin's Century soup be like?

[@Mushting]

You guys did a great job...! Looks amazing!

[@Hawk7886]

Great stuff! I gotta say, watching the flour get dumped on top of the water got me to shout at the screen, haha. You're an animal, Alvin, and I love it.

[@Debshkylimit]

this is the best cooking video i had ever seen thank you

[@SirWonkotheSane]

Not an edible brush but a food safe brush, y'all.

[@captainskullkidd]

A dish chosen from Movie 6? Mad respect.

[@EternallyDoomed]

Honestly loved movie 6, personally loved how the movie showed how much Luffy really cares for his nakama

[@officescrub4932]

I gotta say... Anime with Alvin has been going on for a while now. And every episode is so satisfying.

[@confracto]

One of my favourite dishes. amazing.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love this anime and channel!😊😊😊

[@kyliequinn5592]

Great episode! Would love to see you do anything from the black butler universe honestly

[@cherishireland9194]

This is so crazy and pretty. You guys are super brave to tackle all that. I try to make kimchi pancakes like they do in Korea I think and I can't seem to nail the batter. I like the premade mix but I wish I knew how to do it on my own. It's amazing with all its veggies and spice for a great meal. I like it with just veggies but I'm sure the mayo and all that makes it better too. It's similar to the pancake you made before you added all the other stuff lol.

[@mrkitty5449]

Thanks for helping me calm down after a scene alvin!

[@hydratedpanda8518]

The fact that I saw this video just after I watched the movie is crazy

[@larissabrglum3856]

I tried making okonomiyaki in 2020 and learned the hard way that my skin doesn't like Japanese yam

[@davidwatt2875]

I love how big city people say "Your local *insert foreign country* store" as if everyone just has those right around the corner. The only grocery store in a 20 mike radius from my house is family-owned and employees half the people I went to high school with.

[@AlexMartinez-cu4dw]

This episode had more flips than your average SpongeBob episode, love to see more and more food of One Piece being made I'm really excited to see if you ever make One Piece' Oden

[@adisaxena1009]

Thanks for bringing our favourite anime dishes to life. ❤ Just one thing, when you’re tossing stuff in the wok, if the camera angle was just a smidge higher to show is the contents in the same shot, it would have been great. Love your work as always. ❤

[@KillerTacos54]

Another awesome episode

[@marvelousjefferson7272]

As someone that’s had okonomiyaki in Japan, this is made for youtube. Then again, the dish itself does mean “as you like” so it’s fine.

[@oneeyedpeet2056]

I mean his literal goal is to recreate the food named, showed, and a lot of ingredients given in a Japanese show, so it's kinda hard to match the show perfectly, but get it wrong

[@nathanzaslow5614]

That looked so tough to flip, great work alvin

[@terezar880]

Okonomiyaki is amaaazing, my local Japanese restaurant always goes HAM on the bonito flakes and makes it pretty fun to eat

[@taylorwoodcock7632]

"You can find this at your local asian market" I LIVE IN RURAL MICHIGAN I CANT

[@dayofthesnakes]

Hi Alvin, Please make the Bento Lunches including Binkan Salaryman Sausage from Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro Chan! Thanks Alvin.

[@estelaherrera5800]

Nunca comi una piza rellena con esa variedad de ingredientes, muy intetesante esta opcion que nos proponen

[@seijuruhiko]

I always love seeing what ridiculous thing Sanji makes for Luffy and crew next. Its certainly one of the highlights of the series.

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

Movie 6 has some of the best animation One Piece wouldn't approach until Wano

[@oe3phen]

man I feel like you chose the hardest possible ways of making this/dealing with it. To be fair, I usually make the style with no noodles and the crepe batter mixed in, so there's a lot more binder. Looks tasty!

[@TacTaxon]

amazing! i really loved the op movie and i'm so happy that you covered it, looks so tasty!!!

[@Theonlytahboi]

dude thats absolutely perfect. its amazing you nailed it so hard

[@roscothechampion5585]

I am beyond overjoyed you chose something from the most underrated one piece movie out there.

[@JaySay]

Dang, great work Alvin! I was worried for the first 8 times you had to transfer the okonomiyaki and/or flip it, just clenched the entire time waiting for the music to cut out!

[@AthenaKeatingThomas]

With this, Sanji is becoming my reason for taking the plunge and finally watching One Piece! Wow, this Okonomiyaki had so much more to it than any other ones I've seen!

[@aprilhardee2452]

I think a traditional thing is to make a dashi and use that liquid for your crepe batter. I make okonimiyaki at home often and have researched it a bunch but kuddos Alvin for picking some great dishes for the B uni!

[@gavinli1368]

Ooh! A revisit to another anime food! That reminds me that I need to watch sweetness and lightning.

[@yemieludoyin3593]

This looks amazing

[@mihajlo961x]

Alvin: "...that you can find at your local Japanese grocery store." Me: I'm just happy I can find soy sauce at my local non-Japanese grocery store 😂

[@HatashiLuvsU]

Ive always wanted to try this dish - I’ll have to look into some nearby restaurants to see if they have any! Looks delicious!!

[@AscendtionArc]

Thank for this. (That background beeping really put my teeth on edge though.)

[@toeshrimp]

*not me drooling the whole time.......that looks amazing...I wish I could make it*

[@sativaburns6705]

[@igorfernandomaster]

i like this show because if filled with stuff that i will never eat but would love to

[@Thollis1987]

Joyous and yummy anime inspired foods❤❤

[@MrShadow092]

One of my favorite One Piece movies

[@christophernugent8492]

This whole dish is a love letter to the concept of "excess".

[@jesseturner9865]

Never saw Okonomiyaki made that way. They usually mix the batter and the ingredients, then throw it all on the griddle. Even the yakisoba is mixed in.

[@jaywilliams7597]

fit for the king of the pirates, looks awesome

[@garibaldibritann1240]

I like how Sanji got offended and start to challenge that chef just because the cooking he saw as "mid" and Luffy praises him instead of Sanji so he can create giant Modanyaki just to flex out that chef while also trying to impress Nami only he got dissapointed that Nami isn't there

[@hlevi2718]

Finally an Movie 6 one piece food i need

[@flash453]

Man I remember seeing this in the movie and thought it looked delicious. I'd love to try this someday.

[@KingJovo]

Bro what are the odds that I just watched this movie today and now Alvin is making this beast of a cuisine

[@Namelessfornow34]

I once had Okonomiyaki in a small restaurant in central London and I swear to this day it was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

Looks amazing and delicious 😋 👍👍

[@DavidChong]

Oh if that tororu kombu stuff is what I think it is, it's the bomb. had it once as a garnish for ramen in Japan. Because it's in these fine shreds, it dissolves in your mouth like an instant dashi almost.

[@yappaplay]

The least you can do is name it One Piece Movie 6 so people don’t start digging through its over 1,000 episodes to find where the scene is from.

[@boitaho]

3:32 Nice bed of lettuce you got there Alvin! ^.^

[@ILikeNerdShit]

Oh, that's cool. This is from an obscure One Piece film called Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island. Watched this one on Halloween a couple of years ago with friends.

[@Spectrythium]

This guy can some how make any thing into a food I don't even know how.

[@DejaVuae86]

I'm not sure if you know this but...there are two one piece cookbooks the first one is called " One Piece: Pirate Recipes by Sanji" and the second one is called "One Piece Pirate Recipes: Sanji's Gut-Stuffers" they are both canon recipes.

[@WolfAngelRS]

Now that is a meal! I wouldn’t mind paying $20+ for that

[@KevinLopez-ht9br]

Ukyo kuonji will always be the original goat!
