50

Kojiro explains to Matsuda that losing to Yamashita and being thrown by Yawara at 5 year old revealed his lack of genius talent, prompting years of training to compensate. He provides Matsuda with a letter containing crucial advice for Yawara’s upcoming final match before fleeing the scene. Matsuda is subsequently detained by arena police who suspect him of assault. Meanwhile, Jody leads against Teleshikova, puzzling Yamashita and Jigoro due to the opponent's restraint. With 1 minute left, Jody injures her foot, allowing Teleshikova to target it relentlessly. Despite severe pain, Jody attempts a desperate move that nearly succeeds. However, Teleshikova executes a powerful throw with 1 second remaining to secure victory by ippon.
