I agree that she'll probably lose against the tailor. So far Ryuko's been after answers, but she knows nothing about her father's research and all. She's gotten pretty far with powering up and evolving but it would make sense to take a break now and learn something about Kamui and other uniforms to reach the next level.

Despite everything that's been said, the woman from the flashback still had a hairstyle that resembled Satsuki's the most.
