第 117 集: 平安夜，Yawara 直面 Matsuda 的支援，選擇了柔道而非約會。

117

Matsuda tries to set up a meeting with Yawara but she rebuffs him; one of her office friends takes a message from him to meet the next day, Christmas eve, the same time as her date with Shinnosuke. Jigoro’s scheme to motivate Yawara by pasting pictures of Sayaka winning at tournaments on her bedroom wall apparently backfires. However, eventually Yawara trips over volumes of Matsuda’s articles left behind by Jigoro, and when she reads them, she is moved by Matsuda’s passionate support for her. She stands up Shinnosuke at the last minute and goes to meet Matsuda at the café, but it is already closed. When she leaves there by bus, Matsuda spots her and runs after the bus, and she tells him she would pick up judo again and he tells her he won’t quit journalism. (Source: Wikipedia)
