Hahahah. This episode was great. Everyone is all anxious about the Sayaka/Yawara match and...



I loved it. It was perfect. And it really showed which competition mattered more to her. She didn't even think all that much about Kazematsuri after the fight ended either.

Really though, they really hinted at such conclusion with Sayaka having troubles with Tohdoh and Yawara not even being able to lose on purpose to her just a few episodes earlier. Really shows the difference in skill.

Genius troll. I really loved the match. Yawara is clearly way better than Sayaka, so the only way to prolong the match would be for Yawara to worry about the guys and make mistakes, which would suck. I mean, Sayaka struggled in her fight because she lost her concentration because of Kazematsuri and Yawara. Doing that again would be a bad move.

Oh wow, that win was even more dominant than I expected. I guess she was in a hurry to see Hanazono's match so there was no time to hold back xD.
Also Sayaka is such a sore loser, but at least she gave us a short scene with Yawara's dad, so that was cool.
The best thing about the episode was Yawara finally realizing the joy of 'giving her best', which was what I've been hoping for for a while now. I still feel she lacks any real challengers/rivals though and with Sayaka being a pretty big focus but still more or less useless I'm not sure if that will change anytime soon.
I probably regret this post by now.

Best episode so far.

The match wasn't even close as it should and Yawara enjoying the judo club's victory in the end was great.

I loved seeing Sayaka's face after the match, the lame girl didn't even understand what happened to her.
The guys also won, with Yawara's help.

1 second, really. So far I think Jigoro is only one who really respect judo, rest are just joke or just playing around with feelings.

"My daughter will get stronger", is true in one point... maturing.

btw about Sayaka and similar character in somewhat similar anime called "Air Master", I'm surprised nobody has made recommendation:

This was a great episode! Yawara won the tournament and the judo team won! Just a lot of winning this episode!~ Yawara is a good, humble kid too! Just some feel good moments!

Oh, Sayaka was able to meet Yawara's father!

Perfection. A climax of initial arc done masterfully from start to finish especially that jaw dropping first five minutes of that effortlessly take down of Sayaka and the crowd, both those watching at the Budokan and here behind the 4th wall, left stunned in silent awe and amazement. Bravo Yawara- you are the champion of the tournament and the idol of this impressed viewer.
