قسمت 73: کوجیرو ساکایا را به یک کلبه دورافتاده برای تمرینات شدید می‌برد

73

Marilyn and Paddy-field hog all the media attention from the victory, but the others do not care. Tsukushi coach is crushed to know that Mitsuba college would not be defending the cup because both Yawara and Fujiko will be graduating, thus denying his school the chance for redemption. Kojiro tells Sayaka that they are not geniuses like Jigoro or Yawara, and that the only way to beat them is through "luck." He takes Sayaka to a remote mountain cabin without electricity or bathroom or heat to train. Sayaka has trouble keeping up with the training once it starts. At a post-victory celebration, Shinnosuke tells Matsuda that he will be free of Sayaka for a while as Kojiro has agreed to train her, and Matsuda warns him not to let Yawara know. The team members try to think about what kind of jobs they will be holding after graduation. A funny dialogue-less sequence follows in which Fujiko spots some newspaper spreads that another passenger is reading on the train, and is ecstatic that they cover the team's victory as well as carry some pictures and headlines of herself being "a smashing debut" at the tournament. Kyon-kyon brings some employment notices and applications, and Yawara is surprised that she is the only person who does not get them (because Jigoro burns them and also rebuffs other employment offers, as he already has plans for Yawara and even Fujiko). Coach Yuutenji is already visiting Fujiko's parents about offering a scholarship at Saikai, and promising a chance of winning gold in Barcelona. Fujiko's father calls her to tell her about the Saikai offer. Matsuda tries to find out where Kojiro is training Sayaka. (Source: Wikipedia)
