Ep. 91: Graduation Match Proposal to Secure Yawara's Employment Future

91

The Tsurukame Travel Agency president fails to persuade Jigoro to hire Yawara, prompting her to explain her preference to Fujiko. Fujiko attempts to intervene, but Jigoro devises a plan involving a graduation match. He proposes that if Mitsuba College wins against Seine University, Yawara may join Tsurukame; otherwise, she must attend Saikai University. Jigoro recruits the Seine University judo team, led by Polnareff and featuring multiple champions and world cup contenders, as the opponent. He believes Mitsuba cannot defeat this formidable French squad, intending the likely loss to force Yawara into attending Saikai University instead of working for Tsurukame.
