Ep. 67: Fujiko faces confidence issues while Sayaka struggles against non-judo opponents

67

As the tournament starts, Fujiko suffers from nervousness despite eating 300 people for luck, though Yawara’s support helps her win. Sayaka faces a difficult challenge against Mitsuba College teammates who are fifth-degree calligraphers rather than judo practitioners, struggling to defeat five opponents alone. Wagadzuma College’s coach underestimates Mitsuba, claiming most members are white belts except Yawara. Paddy-field wins her debut using deashi barai after shouting at Kenji, but loses her next match. Marilyn’s physical attributes do not aid her, resulting in a loss. Sayuri uses her weight to submit an opponent but gives up later. Hanazono arrives to encourage Fujiko with her “un deux trois” chant, enabling Fujiko to relax and defeat her next adversary with a new technique.
