第 83 集: 世界大賽陷入僵局，Jody 奪冠，Matsuda 追求 Yawara

83

Martinez is pitted against Jody in the heavyweight finals. Jigoro continues mental timing training with Fujiko on the sidelines. Jody struggles against Martinez at first but finally defeats her, with Fujiko trying to figure out when to unleash her un deux trois attack as if she is a contestant. Matsuda visits his father in the hospital, who is awake and goads him about being out of his league. His mother tells him that they do not need help running their family hotel, as he is useless as a housekeeper, and they want him to continue his budding career as a reporter. Khruschev is Russia's under 48kg contestant against Yawara. Jody instinctively does not believe the news that Matsuda is "tired of" Yawara, and tells her that Kristin Adams, who competed against Yawara in Canada, has also set Yawara as a "goal." But Yawara is spacing out due to the false news about Matsuda. With the cup almost over, Matsuda's mother springs the money for Matsuda to go to Yugoslavia to cover Yawara and gives him her blessings to pursue her, telling him whether a world champion or the world's strongest woman, Yawara is still a "normal girl." Yawara feels unexpectedly anxious about her upcoming match. (Source: Wikipedia)
