Ep. 15: Yawara Faces Love Rivals and Black Belt Progress Amid Tournament Conflicts
Dozens of new judo club members quit after failing to endure Yawara’s rigorous training. Sayaka visits Musashiyama High School to warn Yawara away from Shinnosuke, insulting Hanazono and Sudoh before being instantly thrown by Sudoh. She accuses Yawara of delaying a tournament decision to attract Shinnosuke, but Yawara states she will compete once to test her judo potential. Yawara earns her first black belt, defeating another black belt easily, while Jigoro boasts she is at least a 6-dan. The club learns their tournament clashes with Yawara’s on the same Sunday, prompting her promise to finish quickly to coach them. Shinnosuke reflects on coaching Sayaka, who offered him a Ferrari and a Honami Group position. Matsuda considers his love for Yawara, fearing she will become unreachable as she rises to judo stardom.
