Ep. 121: Fujiko envía a sus padres a Barcelona tras la victoria en las semifinales

121

In their debut fights, both Sayaka and Yawara dispatch their opponents easily, and Shinnosuke is again experience great unease as he thinks Sayaka to be stronger. Fujiko’s parents come to visit her to encourage her, and the father is shown carrying a tourist booklet for Barcelona (being optimistic about her Olympic chances). Fujiko’s (now called “Mama-san” judoka by the media) nerves cause her to do badly in the beginning, but eventually wins with her un deux trois attack. Fujiko wins her 2nd contest with a decision, but is still having a hard time. She barely survives another showdown after being choked blue in her semifinal win. However, she is energized by her parents’ presence and tells them to get their passports, because she’s sending them to Barcelona. Her finals opponent is the topranked Mitsuhashi Yoshiko. Their match is a seesaw affair, and Yoshiko is able to counter most of Fujiko’s moves. Fujiko falls behind on points as the time winds down. As Tamao watches the tournament at home, Kojiro shows up announcing “I’m home.” He has dinner with Tamao and watches the matches with her, providing analysis. (Source: Wikipedia)
