Fujiko draws strength from baby Fuku-chan’s cries and her first word, "man-ma," to secure a winning score at the final moment. Meanwhile, Kuniko collides with Shinnosuke, who reveals his plan to propose to Yawara post-match. Kuniko realizes Shinnosuke is dating Sayaka solely for her wealth and social standing. Sayaka confidently tells the press she will win with a one-minute ippon, which worries Matsuda. He confronts Kuniko about what she witnessed during Sayaka’s secret training with Shinnosuke, learning they were seen hugging and grappling on the ground.
