Ep. 94: Sayuri secures victory through resilience while Fujiko faces intense psychological pressure

94

Trailing 1 to 2, Sayuri capitalizes on an opponent's inability to throw her due to her weight, executing an Osaekomi hold. Despite severe facial injuries, she endures the position to win by ippon. Fujiko competes next, burdened by extreme anxiety as Yawara's future hangs in the balance. Jigoro employs psychological tactics, encouraging the audience, including Mitsuba women and Tsurukame representatives, to cheer loudly while media personnel photograph her. This strategy intensifies Fujiko's stress, leaving her rigid and ill-prepared for her match.
