Hearing baby Fuku-chan’s cries inspires Fujiko, but she is running out of gas. Fuku-chan speaks her first word “man-ma” and this provides a last gasp of energy for Fujiko to score enough points for the win at the last second. Kuniko bumps into Shinnosuke, who discloses that he will be proposing to Yawara after the match. Kuniko understands that Shinnouske is only with Sayaka for her money, prestige, and social status. Sayaka boldly predicts to the media that she’ll win in a one-minute ippon. This somehow alarms Matsuda, and he tracks down Kuniko to find out what she saw of Sayaka’s secret training with Shinnosuke; he is told that they were on the ground hugging and grappling.
