Well, it took three days, but behold! The noodles are as stiff as a board! The noodles are no longer straight, but are slightly wavy, adding more pizzazz!

With the basics now understood, ARuFa was able to try techniques like blowing air at the noodles to mold them into various shapes as they dried.

Armed with his custom-shaped noodles, all he needed was a bowl and some tsuyu sauce and he was ready for those dynamic action shots!
