Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

Disappear nuisance! (1x70)

Udgivelsesdato: Jun 03, 1991

Fujiko decides to give her out against Sayaka despite being afraid. Her parents also unexpectedly come to see her; her mom is very tall also, but the dad is short. They stand next to Hanazono without knowing who each other is, but they quickly identify Hanazono as the "bad influence" who introduced their daughter to the violent sport of judo. Hanazono instinctively and repeatedly calls them "mother" and "father," to which they object. Jigoro tells the Saikai College coach Yuutenji that he can have both Yawara and Fujiko as a package later when they graduate Mitsuba, which is only a 2-year college (Jigoro also calls Fujiko "the future of judo"). In the match, Fujiko quickly earns a waza ari with her signature move and would have won outright with an ippon on the second, only to have it called out of bounds. The crowd cheer for Sayaka, not for the unknown underdog Fujiko. Sayaka manages to tie the score but is unable to put the finishing touches for a pin, and the match is called a draw by the refs. Mitsuba wins as Sayaka's team has no one to fight further. Sayaka protests but has to leave in humiliation and disgust. It turns out that Fujiko has dislocated her should during the match, and Jigoro fixes her shoulder but tells her not to continue so as to safeguard her judo future (he enigmatically calls her "the future of judo"). Although she wants to continue despite the injury, the other team members tell Fujiko that they will fight for her. Matsuda tells them that the Saikai team has been crushed by the Tsubushi team, which is happy that they do not have to face Fujiko as well.
