Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

The determination of men! (1x108)

Date de diffusion: Mai 18, 1992

Yawara and Fujiko have coffee together and they end up discussing judo and Hanazono, who has not been in much touch with Fuchiko in the past 2 months, who calls him “sweet and handsome” and therefore might be popular with women. Both commiserate over how men can swee-talk and then betray them. Yawara decides to help by talking to Hanazono about why he is shutting out Fuchiko, but initially misinterprets his “I have no honor” (really meaning that he’s underachieved in judo compared to the 2 women) to mean that he’s cheating on Fujiko. In fact, Hanazono is unable to meet with Fuchiko because he thinks it’s his last chance to be a starter on the Ebitendo judo team and must block out all distractions, including Fujiko, until he makes good as a judoka. On seeing Hanazono taking Yawara home after the meeting, with her offering to train him, Jigoro misinterprets that she’s going out with the “apeman.” Later, the misunderstanding is cleared and Jigoro agrees to train him, along with Yawara’s help. Fujiko calls the Ebitendo judo dorms and is given the false impression that Hanazono is carrying around with women. Matsuda happens on Hanazono and he’s sworn in on keeping Hanazono’s training with the Inokumas.
