Yawara!

Deathmatch

Kojiro tells Tamao that if Yawara loses, she should despise him, but she says it is just part of competition. As the contest begins, Sayaka is able to fend off Yawara, and it turns out that her secret move is the ground level Newaza attack followed by the Osaekomi pin, not the previously revealed move. Moreover, Sayaka deploys a vicious arm-pulling jyuji gatame attack as a final “death trap,” which dislocates Yawra’s right elbow. Yawara only has her left hand to attack with, and Yawara hesitates with a counterattack because of her memory of using the same technique against her father when she was a child, being blocked psychologically. Matsuda’s cries of “winning the Barcelona gold” and “not crushing his dream” counters her inhibition, however, and she goes for the leg lift tomoe nage, which earns her a yuko. The match comes down to the final 15 seconds.
