Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl
Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl
Fujiko Mama Challenge! (1x115)
: 06, 1992
Fujiko is concerned about Yawara despite her impending birth. Kuniko wins a bonus for her Barcelona “coverage” (on the basis of some lucky photos). She meets Yawara and tells her more lies about “impending marriage” to Matsuda, and that her father would let him take over their family business Kaga Health and he would probably quit the newspaper. Yawara believes her and leaves depressed. Kojiro tries to deliver a message to Matsuda through Kuniko, to ask Matsuda to help Yawara come back to judo, but she throws it away. Jigoro and Matsuda independently comes up with the same plan of asking Fujiko to come back after giving birth and try for Barcelona Olympics, figuring this would motivate Yawara to come back to judo. Matsuda asks Fujiko and Hanazono right before the baby, Fukuko (a girl, who looks like Hanazono but has Fujiko’s downward eyebrows), is born, and they agree. Jigoro is surprised afterwards when he proposes the same idea to Fujiko that Matsuda had already proposed the same idea before.
