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.

Where it came from
Released in 2011, Toradora!: Bento Battle is an original video animation that serves as a standalone epilogue to the celebrated 2008 anime series Toradora!. Produced by J.C.Staff, the episode was bundled with the special edition of the original light novel series' tenth volume, providing fans with a concluding glimpse into the lives of protagonists Ryūji Takasu and Taiga Aisaka. The project was conceived as a lighthearted bonus, focusing on the domestic dynamics and culinary competition that define the series' charm.
The animation maintains the aesthetic established by the television series, overseen by the studio's character design team who aimed to capture the energetic, emotional interplay between the lead characters. The design choices prioritize familiar character archetypes—the 'tsundere' lead and the gentle protector—which were central to the series' enduring popularity. Upon release, it was warmly received by the fan base as a quintessential comfort piece that solidified the franchise's legacy as a staple of the romantic comedy genre.
