Ep. 95: Fujiko struggles with nerves but gains confidence through Shinnosuke's romantic encouragement during the match.
Aired on January 27, 1992
95
Fujiko begins the match stiff and nervous, falling behind in points. Shinnosuke suggests she say something romantic to relax, prompting Hanazono to invite her for tea after the match. This encouragement helps Fujiko fight better and take a lead. However, she loses the advantage by following Jigoro's advice to always aim for an ippon win rather than winning by points or decisions. Jigoro provides this guidance because he is touched by her fighting spirit and strict adherence to his "ippon only" victory philosophy.
