So who do you think will win the next basho?

So who do you think will win the next basho?
Will Takakeisho receive his well deserved promotion?
Will Tochinoshin be able to lift himself out of kadoban with all his injuries?
Will Takayasu ever get a yusho?
Will Kakuryu choose to show up this time?

Pretty stoked to finally see things get mixed up a little. One of my main complaints at the moment is that Tamawashi isn't younger, if he was younger him and Takakeisho could have a pretty sweet rivalry. I know Takakeisho and Mitakeumi already have a blossoming rivalry but I doubt Mitakeumi can keep up honestly, especially with his new leg injury.

Discuss, or Hakuho smugpost.

kaisei bootyblasts everyone

Been out of the mix for 6 months, what happend?

Kisenosato retired
Kakuryu getting close to retiring with a stop-and-go attendance record, at least it looks that way to me.
Tochinoshin sucking as an Ozeki because of leg injuries sustained to acquire the rank.
Mitakeumi injured his leg/knee pretty bad last basho.
Takakeisho on a major upswing, he'll secure his Ozeki promotion this coming basho
Takayasu still hasn't won a yusho
Hakuho still bodies practically everyone

Not much has changed the last 6 months

Are there any good american sumo wrestlers? I mean, they ARE fat! hahaha

Also everyone slept on Tamawashi and won the yusho in January

There has been about 4 American upper division wrestlers in the past. 2 of them reaching yokozuna

Kaisei is big succ

He's the only half decent rikishi in his stable, and even then he's not good. His oyakata should sudoku himself

Bump. Nobody in this shit town i live in watches sumo so I'm reduced to Yea Forums

Anyone else an ABJ when it comes to Sumo?

What's an ABJ?

Tochinoshin won't maintain his Ozeki rank for long.

Against belly jabs

Nobody in this town watches Gaelic Football, but I don't bitch about it because IT'S FUCKING WEIRD AND OF COURSE NO ONE WATCHES IT GODDAMN

Unfortunately I have to agree. Hopefully he just retires as an Ozeki instead of plummeting down the banzuke and becoming a has-been a la Kotoshogiku

ICHINOJO WINS THE WHOLE THING

Sad panda will never win a yusho, he's too lazy at the edge

Is the average American capable of competing in sumo?

/sumo/ has piqued my interest. What's the best way to get into this sport?

watch the digests on kintamayama's channel once the basho starts

See:

I usually watch Chris Gould for supplementary coverage, usually in between basho, and for the basho itself I watch Jason's All Sumo Channel. I also watch Grand Sumo Awesome for highlights and next day match-ups

Anyone But Japanese

They've totally dominated this sport for too long and things need shaking up.

they haven't dominated for 20 years. last japanese yokozuna before the total failure of kise was in 1998 and he only lasted 2 years.

The last 5 yokozuna promoted before Kisenosato are 4 Mongolians and 1 American, and Kise was a joke after that big injury. Not really sure what you're on about

>Japanese people dominate a Japanese sport
wow those fuckers how dare they
