Matsuda’s father visits to evaluate his son’s romantic prospects, dismissing him as a third-rate reporter unworthy of Yawara. He demands proof of intimacy, prompting Matsuda to struggle while Yawara announces she is quitting judo to find work. Kuniko assists by feigning closeness, and the father later discovers Matsuda’s obsessive volumes. Attempting to confess on his son’s behalf, the father is mistaken for a peeping tom by the judo team. Meanwhile, Hanazono shares a tip for managing pre-match nerves. Shinnosuke tries to romance Yawara after lying about rejecting Sayaka, but Jigoro interrupts the moment by putting Shinnosuke in a headlock.
