Ep. 91: Vorschlag für ein Abschluss-Spiel, um Yawaras berufliche Zukunft zu sichern

91

Tsurukame Travel Agency's president fails to convince Jigoro to let Yawara join his company. Yawara tells Fujiko the reasons for her choosing to work for Tsurukame rather than transferring to Saikai University. Fujiko attempts to help persuade Jigoro to allow Yawara to work for Tsurukame. The judo members hit on the idea of having a graduation match, which Jigoro schemes to adopt for his own purposes. He proposes that if the Mitsuba College can win its graduation match, then he will allow Yawara to work for Tsurukame. Through Matsuda, Jigoro scouts the Seine University judo team, best in France and run by Polnareff (a former coach of Sayaka's), as the graduation opponent for Mitsuba. The team have multiple champions and world cup contenders, and Jigoro does not believe that Mitsuba's team can defeat it, with the end result being that Yawara will be forced to attend Saikai rather than work for Tsurukame.
