She is introduced to her new boss, assistant manager Hagoromo, who seems to do no work other reading newspapers in an abandoned corner area of the office. Yawara drags her boss to make enter into a possible big account with Kato Chu company, at the extreme reluctance of Hagoromo. Kato Chu however demands Yawara’s presence at its Hokkaido event, which conflicts with the All Japan Judo Championships. Shinnosuke meets with Sayaka and her father, and they discuss their upcoming wedding (as soon as she defeats Yawara) to his surprise and discomfort. He’s asked to be the president of Honami Group, a competitor of Yawara’s new company Tsurukame, which has secured the rights to be the main sponsor of the upcoming All Japan Judo Championship. Shinnosuke observes that Sayaka has become overwhelmingly powerful after her training with Kojiro. Matsuda observes Saikai practice, and sees that “Beanpole” Fujiko has improved a lot. No one, including Jigoro, seems to know whether Yawara will enter the All Japan. (Source: Wikipedia)
