Kuniko sneaks into Sayaka’s secret training and is shocked by the “secret training” she sees there, which she claims is just Sayaka having sex with Shinnosuke. Jigoro tells Sayaka in public that Yawara and Fujiko will skip the All Japan Championship and only enter the All Japan Selected to get into the Olympics. Sayaka wins the All Japan unopposed. Jigoro tells the TV announcers that Sayaka is still hiding a new “secret weapon,” to which Hanazono replies that Sayaka is still only a “fart in the wind” compared to Yawara. Takabe Yoko defeats Tohdoh to face Sayaka, who is having a hard time against Takabe until she deploys a “tomoe nage,” built with her sandbag exercises. Sayaka brags that her move is just instinct, not a secret weapon designed to beast Yawara. Jigoro unintentionally reveals that Sayaka’s coach is his son Kojiro, stealing the media attention away from Sayaka. He then challenges Sayaka for the All Japan Selected. Matusda warns Yawara to expect a media frenzy over this “father vs. daughter” rivalry. When Tamao finds out, she is only upset that it’s kept from her, and is not otherwise bothered; she was only afraid that her husband might be not be alive, not by judo shenanigans. She tells Yawara to go all out in the upcoming competitions, and that she has a feeling Kojiro will be coming home soon if she tries her best.
