Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

The bright waves of Sayaka's charge (1x103)

Ausstrahlung: Apr 13, 1992

Tsurukame president wants Hagoromo’s head because he seems to have screwed the lucrative deal with Kato Chu in Hokkaido. If Yawara ends up losing, then Tsurukame Travels will lose both her as a celebrity draw and the Kato Chu deal. Hagoromo tries to apologize his way out of the debacle, but he is ignored by everyone; he also initially tries to cover up the televised judo broadcast. Matsuda breaks his leg in the bike crash. Yawara tells him she’s been wrong about him, that his writing moves a lot of people and has meaning. Shinnosuke prays for Sayaka to lose so that he doesn’t have to marry her right afterwards, but Sayaka shows great power & speed in defeating a giant opponent. She dispatches the next 2 to reach semifinals; the same goes for Yawara. They are to meet in the semifinals.
