Эп. 97: Последствия церемонии выпуска и публичный дзюдо-вызов от Саяки

97

Shinnosuke believes that Matsuda is out as his love rival for Yawara. The judo clubbers graduate Mitsuba and they all cry at parting. Both Marilyn and Paddy-field with new men (nineteenth for Paddy-field), which is not surprising, but even Sayuri and Kyon-Kyon turn out to have men as well. It is clear that the judo club members do not known each other as well as they think. Other graduating women have men in fancy sports cars waiting for them. Hanazono arrives on a beat-up bike bearing a single rose for Fujiko. Yawara waits more than one hour for Shinnosuke, who had promised to take her out to a graduation dinner, but he is a no-show. In fact, after rebuffing several women on the phone, Shinnosuke is now trapped by Sayaka, who he does not has come and arrived at his door. Matsuda arrives instead, but Yawara ignores her and they do not talk. Yawara has fallen into the same mental trap of thinking Matsuda only wants to write articles and scoops about her, and they each carry on futile mental monologues. They are interrupted by Sayaka who appears on multiple TV screens with Shinnosuke in the background; she apparently took over a TV program (Sports Spirits) to publicly challenge her to a match at the next All Japan Judo Championship.
