Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

Fujiko's shocking retirement announcement! (1x111)

Data di messa in onda: Giu 08, 1992

Fujiko wins the Fukuoka International Women’s Judo Tournament in the 61kg division, and Yawara wins the 48kg and under division. As the others are growing increasingly enthusiastic about their prospects of competing in the next All Japan and Barcelona Olympics, Fujiko fakes a cold and contemplates her judo future at a park, where she confides to Yawara that her period is late and may be pregnant, which is confirmed by a doctor’s visit. She makes up mind to quit Judo to prepare for her pregnancy, and is actually happy about it. The news makes Hanazono even more serious about training to “apologize,” and the news is taken very badly by Fujko’s parents. Sports Toyko’s reporter overhears at Saikai University that Fujiko is pregnant, so the news is out. Fujiko goes into hiding at the Inokumas as the media stakes out her apartment over the “scandal.” Fujiko tells the reporters that she is glad about everything—judo, Hanazono, the future baby, their future as parents of a Inokuma-like judo champion, which is like winning an ippon for Japan’s judo. Watching the news footage, Fujiko’s parents are reconciled to the affair. Fujiko and Hanazon are married. Yawara wins the All Japan over Tohdoh.
