He then activates the effect of "Knight Napolitan", which is the same as that of "Princess Pudding" ("Prince Curry": 600 → 1200/1000).

Trivia

 * The distinction between the "Cookmate" monsters and "Royal Cookmate" monsters is shown by the two sets being Levels from 1-5 and 6-10, respectively (though the two highest Levels of each set appear in the next episode). This is visualized by "Wonder Recipe" showing each "Cookmate" being used to Summon the "Royal Cookmate" that is 5 Levels higher (though "Prince Curry" and "Knight Napolitan" are switched since "Prince Curry" takes center stage).
