Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

That for so long (1x124)

:

With 15 seconds left, the 2 opponents rush each other, and Yawara delivers an ippon zeoi with her injured arm. Yawara retries her false tooth for Sayaka and tells her that she’s had fun and be glad to fight her again, and this time Sayaka doesn’t brush her off. Shinnosuke is happy because he thinks he does not have to marry Sayaka and can pursue Yawara without losing his position with the rich Honami family. Tamao tells Yawara that Kojiro came by and left, saying that he is taking a job in France as a judo coach and will send them his address soon, that he is “not hiding anymore.” At Sayaka’s 2000-person “victory” banquet, no one shows up, and Sayaka delusionally believes she actually won. She still believes that there’s nothing she wants that she can’t get. Only Shinnosuke is there to see her cry and being vulnerable for the first time, and he kisses her. Outside the Inokuma victory party, as Matsuda is about to tell Yawara how he has felt ever since he first met her, they are interrupted by the celebrating friends and family crashing through the door. The episode and show ends with Yawara walking through the Barcelona stadium tunnel and Matsuda yelling, “Now Yawara-san, ippon zeoi!”
