Delicious? Disgusting? The Digimon Ramen Contest!

Synopsis
Orgemon and are busy in DigiQuartz trying to get Digimon customers into their ramen restaurant. Orgemon shows his red chili ramen, and Fugamon shows his green chili ramen. The two then blame each other for causing Digimon to avoid their ramen store, and decide to try each others. Fugamon says that Orgemon's noodles are excellent but the soup is bad. Orgemon says that Fugamon's is completely spicy. The two then decide that they need the help of a human to keep their business afloat.

In the Real World, wonders if he should play with  or go Digimon hunting. His stomach then growls, and he decides to eat since he can't do anything else on an empty stomach. Tagiru asks Masaru if he could eat at his place (since his family owns a restaurant), but Masaru is sad and tells them what they'll expect when they go to his place. Mikey comes and all of them go to Masaru's restaurant. They presume the one with the long line is his, but he tells them that it isn't and that it is his rival's restaurant.

Xros Heart then goes to Masaru's restaurant, and Masaru's father greets him. He serves them ramen, and Yuu doesn't seem to like it. Tagiru says that it is delicious, and Gumdramon speaks from his X Loader to have some. To cover up suspicion, Tagiru tells them they were just hearing something. Masaru's father tells them that he will have to close if no one comes to his place, and Xros Heart promises to make the place popular. At night, Masaru's father tries his ramen soup, and dislikes it, saying that it isn't the ramen people would line up for.

The microwave then digitizes and drags Masaru's father to DigiQuartz. Orgemon and Fugamon run out of their restaurant. Although he is scared, Masaru's father doesn't want to try their ramen. Orgemon and Fugamon force-feed him their ramen, and he explodes due to the amount of chili in the ramen. He then tells them that the noodles are excellent, but the soup is horrible, and asks if they made the dashi correctly. The two Digimon are confused at what it is, and the two beg for him to give them their soup in return for their hand-pounded noodles. Although he doesn't want to help them, the two Digimon know that he wants to have a restaurant to draw in lines of customers. Masaru's father then agrees to help the two Digimon out with their problem.

In school, Mikey asks Tagiru and Yuu if they come up with any ideas. They then ask for Masaru if it is good or not, but he is missing. Another student tells them that he left early to help out at the restaurant. The three run to the restaurant, and find that Masaru's restaurant is flourishing now. Masaru's father offers them a taste of his ramen, and they seem to like it. The three and Masaru find his father yelling at customers complaining on how the ramen was a little spicy. Masaru tells Xros Heart that he never yells at customers and takes their opinion into consideration. He also tells them that he has been disappearing at night, and that at day he gets hand-pounded noodles and spicy chilis.

At night, Masaru's father checks the soup and deems it good enough for Orgemon and Fugamon. Xros Heart hides and then a light glows, and Tagiru's suspicions become true. They pursue Masaru's father into DigiQuartz. When they arrive, they find a line of Digimon outside a ramen restaurant and hear something being pounded. They go up closer and find Orgemon and Fugamon pounding noodles and find Masaru's father making soup. Three Goblimon are served ramen, and although it is spicy, they enjoy the ramen, making Orgemon and Fugamon happy. The third Goblimon says it is a little spicy, so Orgemon and Fugamon make the Goblimon say that it is excellent.

Orgemon, Fugamon and Masaru's father have Xros Heart leave after they try to reason with Masaru's father. In the real World, they tell Masaru that his father is having noodles at DigiQuartz by the Digimon. Although Xros Heart knows that Orgemon and Fugamon aren't doing anything wrong, Masaru believes that they are because they have changed his father's personality greatly. Masaru's father then comes back from DigiQuartz, and Masaru challenges him to a ramen contest. Masaru tells him that if he wins, he is to cut all ties with the two Digimon, and if he wins, Masaru will not say anymore about it. Masaru's father takes on the challenge.

The next day, everyone meets at DigiQuartz to start the challenge. Masaru has his father be the judge since he knows that his father is a good cook. Orgemon and Fugamon are excited since it is their first time in a human ramen contest. Xros Heart's Digimon pound the noodles, while the others help Masaru with the ramen ingredients. Masaru thanks them after they are done and tells them he will do the rest by himself. Masaru's father watches him and wonders where he learned how to make noodles. Tagiru digivolves Gumdramon into Arresterdramon to cut up some ingredients, and gives the ingredients to Masaru. The ramen is then complete on both sides.

Masaru asks his father to judge the two ramen; Masaru's ramen and the Digimon's ramen. He judges Orgemon's and Fugamon's noodles, and deems them tasty, to their delight. He then tries Masaru's ramen, and the two Digimon laugh at his misshapen and uneven noodles. Masaru's father tries it, and is shocked when it was his original recipe, but Masaru also tells him that he added clams into it. Although it is the same ramen, Masaru tells him that he liked this ramen. Masaru's father decides that his son's ramen is the best, since it warmed his heart unlike Orgemon and Fugamon's.

Although Masaru won, Orgemon and Fugamon refuse to let him leave DigiQuartz. Shoutmon and Gumdramon attack them, but Orgemon and Fugamon are too strong for them. blinds them, allowing Shoutmon and Gumdramon to defeat them. Tagiru then collects their data. Back in the real world, Masaru's father apologizes to Masaru. Tagiru takes his X Loader out and takes out Orgemon and Fugamon, who apologize also and teach him how to make their hand-pounded noodles and with his soup to make an excellent ramen. Masaru's father tells them he will leave their spicy ramen on the menu, to their delight. A long crowd lines up at Masaru's restaurant. Mikey and Yuu then say that Orgemon and Fugamon were good Digimon, and that there are times when humans and Digimon can work together. Meanwhile, Tagiru and Gumdramon decide to challenge themselves to a ramen that they both will like.
