Paddy-field comes up with a "strategy" (she uses "jya" at the end of her sentences like Jigoro). Yawara will be the first judoka in order to take out as many opponents as they can, and the 2nd wave would consist of Paddy-field, Kyon-kyon and Sayuri to wear out the remainders, with Fujiko anchoring the team. At the competition they find out that it is not an elimination arrangement, but a points system, having been gamed by Jigoro. All team members will have to fight their own contests, whichever team gets 3 out of 5 matches wins. Shinnosuke accuses Matsuda to have been in on the rigged contest. Yawara wins her first match with ease. When Paddy-field is up, Matsuda tries to provide some tips against the French judoka Deneuve, a world cup veteran.
セーヌ大学の柔道部との練習試合に勝てば柔の就職が認められると聞いて喜ぶ部員たちだが、実は勝ち抜き戦ではなく、点取り試合だった。これは滋悟郎の策だとみんなが憤慨する中、柔を先鋒に試合が開始される。
