Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

Destinies showdown! (1x104)

Date de diffusion: Avr 20, 1992

The four Mitsuba judo members finally arrive at the arena to cheer Fujiko and Yawara. In Hokkaido, the Kato Chu director turns out to be a big judo and Fujiko fan, and he hits it off with Hagoromo, who is now disinhibited because he figures he’s got nothing to lose and will be fired anyway. Fujiko wins her quarterfinals match against Shiraishi. Before Yawara fights Sayaka in the other semi, Shinnosuke almost has a breakdown as he experiences various nightmarish visions of being married to Sayaka; he meets his business rival, President Ohtaguro of Tsurukame Travel, and they do not realize that they actually both want Yawara to win, though for completely different reasons. In their match, Yawara scores a quick yuko, Sayaka is not at all afraid and remains confident, and Yawara expends a lot of energy fending off Sayaka’s attacks. Sayaka is waiting for her one opening to launch her secret weapon. Matsuda notices that Yawara has the same serious look as she shows in her match at home against Jody.
