Matsuda deceives the judo team about media interest while Yawara notices Jigoro’s unusual training methods and mysterious absences. Suspicion grows when she sees students reading his autobiography and observes tatami-like marks on Fujiko’s arms. Jigoro arranges a match between Mitsuba and Tsukushi University’s top women’s judo team. The Tsukushi squad, holding multiple dan ranks, prepares intensely under the false belief that Mitsuba is coached by Jigoro. Meanwhile, the novice Mitsuba team struggles, though Fujiko displays skill by defeating Hanazono. Driven by curiosity, Yawara follows Fujiko to the gym, uncovering the truth about the club and the impending competition.
