Before their quarterfinal match agaisnt Kuroyuri Sports College, Fujiko is intimidated by the hulking Tohdoh. Kuroyuri was last year's runner up and features an uniform lineup of huge scary-looking judokas. Paddy-field is no good against her opponent, and Marilyn is out in an instant as well. Sayuri gives up quickly as well. Fujiko's parents come to watch her match, with her likewise giraffe mom manhandling her husband as she cries that she should not have let Fujiko play such a violent sport. They stand next to Hanazono, whom they quickly realize is the man who got their daughter involved in judo because Hanazono's yelling of instructions to her. They want him to take responsibility if she becomes unmarriageable with "a damaged nubile body"; Hanazono subconsciously immediately calls them "father" and "mother." As they argue, Fujiko defeats a 2nd Kuroyuri College judoka. But her next opponent is one of the fearsome heavyweight Ohtawara twins, Miyoko. Fujiko escapes the initial attacks with her flexibility, and executes her signature move to defeat the younger twin. She then defeats the elder twin with the same combo of defensive flexibility and un deux trois attack. Fujiko almost defeats the behemoth Tohdoh as she gains more confidence, and wins over her parents as fans as well. Yawara finally enters her first match since the World Cup against Tohdoh. Fujiko's parents believe Hanazono has been two-timing Fujiko with Yawara as well.
