Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

The letter from Kojirou (1x51)

Date de diffusion: Déc 10, 1990

After Jody's defeat, she is unable to bow and falls down from her injury and exhaustion. Yawara is angry that Teleshikova targeted Jody's injury, thinking it unsportsman-like and unfair and "mean." Jigoro states that Teleshikova was hiding her finishing move (throw) from Yawara. Jody tells her fiance that their wedding will need to be postponed until her leg is healed. Matsuda limps back into the arena, trying to retrieve Kojiro's letter from Kuniko to give to Yawara. Kuniko tries to give the "fan letter" to Yawara, but she ignores her as she is in a mental zone. Yawara enters the match energized by a desire for revenge. Although Yawara scores 2 quick yukos agaisnt Teleshikova using different moves, Jigoro is not happy and says if it keeps up, Yawara might lose. Matsude finally opens Kojiro's letter, which asks Yawara to watch out for Teleshikova's uranage (back throw), but is too late to warn Yawara, who is thrown by Teleshikova's uranage.
