Tochi vs T.Rex, sounds like the match of the whole basho.
Tochi’s gonna get creamed
Who has the best tits in this basho?
I wish they wouldnt face each other.
Tochi needs a victory and T.Rex could even win the basho.
I would say Ichinojo. But the Bulgarian lion has also decent ones.
Aoiyama for sure
Aoiyama has the biggest, but they have a poor shape to them. Tochi’s is the manliest and hairiest

how well do huge male judokas in sumo?
Tochi is going to lose to Taka tonight, as he has Tochi's number and will be looking out for the Henka.
Enho will lose to Shodai.
Asanoyama will win the basho when it's all over.
Ishiura did judo before becoming a rikishi. He doesn't do that great. But, he is in the top ~10%.
A lot of successful guys have judo backgrounds. It's also why Mongolians do well because most of them have mongolian wrestling backgrounds. The main issue is retaining their grappling ability as they build up their size.
For me, it's based ENHO (whether he loses or wins)
Can Mitakeumi pull it off or will he choke like last year?
Based and redpilled
>Enho is based
>Takakeisho is based and round
>Asanoyama will get his second yusho
>Goeido will fall to Sekiwake along with Tochi
It has been decreed.
I forgot Goeido was injured last basho. He just needs two wins anyway so he'll probably do what he always does and henka a couple fucks. Beat Chiyotairyu tomorrow, henka Ryuden, then take the rest of the tournament off while giving Tochinoshin or Takakeisho a fusen.
The fuck was that tachiai
It was too high level for you, you just couldn't understand it
He saw what happened to Ishiura and didn't want a repeat.
The whole match was pretty slow and heavy on technique, I enjoyed it.
TOCHI
Mita looks beat to shit, I really thought he would have pulled out by now but somehow he's still in contention
this is the song used by AbemaTV in their sumo intro
>/jp/ had a thread last basho.
I tried at least two times to get /jp/ more interested in sumo
terrible board and moderation
the only advantage over Yea Forums would be a more relaxed speed: here we have to bump every 2 hours or even less
we should make an effort to let other boards to notice that Yea Forums follows sumo; a couple of posts on /int/, Yea Forums, /ck/, /fit/ for example; or post a webm with audio on /wsg/ with a crosslink to came here
etc.
/jp/ isn't 'Japanese stuff', it's 'Otaku Culture'
Sumo isn't really on topic there
there are 100s different kinds of otaku
including "sumo otaku"
anyway, I just posted a reminder in the Japan General at /trv/; that'd be enough for me today :)
wtf are you smoking, this is the best he's looked since his yusho
another death at a relatively young age (58)
this didnt age well
fatpush
Apparently his stable was just him, Kakuryu, and two lower division guys? Wonder what happens to stables like that when the stablemaster just dies, will Kakuryu and his attendants just move to a different stable?
Sumo wrestling is the most rigged sport on Earth.
>5 way tie
I hope Asanoyama wins in a playoff with Takakeisho and Mitakeumi
the future of sumo all in a three way playoff on day 15
(You)
Where do you watch sumo? any good youtube channels or something?
NattoSumo uploads full top division highlights a few hours after the matches happen in japan, he does clutter the screen with stats but when you get more nuanced in the sport it's actually pretty nice to see
second natto. comes up at 1830 korean time, or 530 EST, so its up in the morning. The stats that
mentioned are nice, and disappears after a few seconds. Pic is the stats. No english commentary though, but will flash up the winning move at the end during the reply
I've posted Miselet links in the last thread; also at Sumoforum they usually post tons of videos, new or old; for the very old ones there are links everywhere inside the sumoDB
also NHK World shows the highlights with English commentary several times each day, then they upload them here:
>playoff
they usually do everything possible to avoid playoffs
>5 way tie
Okinoumi - Meisei already tomorrow
and Daieisho - Asanoyama: they are 6-1, so a really dangerous day tomorrow for Asanoyama
Myogiryu is back, missed 3 bouts
>3 bouts
*1 bout
tomorrow he is against Takakeisho: they are 0-6 so... a little push for Taka yusho?
>they usually do everything possible to avoid playoffs
They can't stop miracles from happening.
poll results:
Asanoyama 45%
Mitakeumi 27%
Takakeisho 27%
others 0%
He's nearly back lads
Holly shit!
Salt-guy very weak this basho!
Kounosuke's strong "SHOUBU ARI"s are what all gyouji need to sound like.
amazing Enho again
still very few envelopes compared to others
old folks sponsors are too slow desu
shamefur waste of salt indeed
>/ck/
Cheeky.
It had a disturbingly large amount of idol/waifu threads, come to think of it.
>will Kakuryu and his attendants just move to a different stable?
To a shit one where he belongs L M A O.
ENDOOOOO
it is now
Lol
>Tochi-match
>gyoji again down
WHITES BTFO!!!
ngl I could take all these guys (at the same time) (easy)
All sports are rigged genius
current Juryo leaders are ranked J11 and J12
jobbers trying to hang in Juryo must be axed this time: I want at least 9 demotions to Makushita
any update on Toyonoshima possible retirement? that would free another spot to be added to the one left by Yoshikaze, and so a nice number of promotions into the salaried ranks
Kaisei bout show on natto. 6-5 even woth injury
Chiyomaru makes an appearance, but loses to tochiozan. I missed his bulk
Meisei keeps in the race, and ishiura had better sumo than he's had the last couple days
Kotoyuki walks out of the ring
Takarafuji kachi-koshi
Okinoumi probably out of the running now Tsurugishio gets his kachikoshi.
Enho works kotoshogiku front mawashi very well. 1 from kachikoshi. might be able to get it against takarafuji tomorrow with how slow amd not very mobile looking he is
Salt man loses to an injured wrestler
Aoiyama just giving people wins this tournament
Hokutofuji gets under asanoyama, controls the whole match, and pushes him out
Endo with a good move. 1 more to kachikoshi too
Abi falls on his face. Good stability by tamawashi
mitakiumi was moving foward well till ryuden turned him around and pushed him out
Takakeisho decides that one person isn't enough to take out. eiffel towers tochinoshin with the goyji, and trust too hard and tumbles both. Decent belt work too. Tochi gets one more bogey. mitakiumi should be hungry for a win tomorrow after fighting hard today but getting out maneuver.
Goeido wins after a million false starts
Takakeisho for the yusho.
thats just cause taka is a powerhouse
While his knee is still obviously causing a problem, Tochi's problems seem 90% mental at this point. Took the tachiai really well (at least considering how Takakeisho's opponents normally end up) but then just floundered, weakly pawing at him until he was pushed over. No game plan, no aggression.
I imagine he's leveraging aggression against the continuing health of his right knee. For instance, he probably could use his full-strength patented lift-out in one match this basho, at the cost of a literal exploding knee. Since he doesn't want that, and doesn't want to retire, he's trying to split the difference by using the minimum strength necessary to have a chance to win.
Come to think of it, Tochi losing his right leg is a lot like Kise losing his left arm.
I dont think he could get his hands on takakeisho's mawashi. taka was able to slap his hands away pretty well and get inside. Its usually over when someone that much shorter stands you up while inside like that, removes any leverages
Hiro Morita is doing a public lecture in Tbilisi in a few days. What should I ask him?
aoiyama so half-hearted. happy to see tomokaze pick up the win though
lmao at tochinoshin taking out the gyoji
Very weak footwork by Ishiura, could've saved it otherwise. Ah well.
Okinoumi choking it. Not good.
Nice win for Enho. Love seeing him boss larger rikishi like that.
Terutsuyoshi in complete shambles. Sad!
Asanoyama got destroyed today. Couldn't do crap.
Endo won, Abi lost and my mood got improved just like that.
Mitakeumi jobbing to Ryuden, holy fr*ck. Are all "title contenders" doing this today? The hell is going on?
Thank gods for TakaBEAST. Just give him the cup already. Tochinoshin lost and I'm not even bothered. Man, what a great bout. Both went in with full force and delivered on the spectacle. And a flying gyoji too. Fantastic.
Okay, the replays have it as if Tochi's knee buckled, but still.
Takakeisho and Meisei up there challenging and another 5 rikishi on a 8-3, this is gonna be great.
Kindly don't agree with your view of the bout, but the mentality part is something I do, kinda. I believe he's more aware of the fact that he is not 100% healthy and can't go full force and this is what's hindering him.
Enho is a god
>Enho is a god
With his style of sumo, I wonder that nobody did brake his neck so far.
How wide open is this basho holy shit! 7 rikishi with a chance to take it. Takakeisho gotta be the favourite at this point, he's looking quite in form.
Ura was the sacrifice we suffered to gain a tiny makuuchi rikishi who will have a long career.
i dont think theres anyone left that can beat him unless he himeslf doesn't perform well. hes got myogiryu, and probably goeido and abi, and one lower rank guy that's pretty not in the running so they can set up a playoff if takakeisho loses one of those
ichinojo will happen next tournament if enho gets kachikoshi. it just has to.
>ichinojo will happen next tournament if enho gets kachikoshi. it just has to.
It's entirely possible. Ichinojo will get demoted enough to where they will be in match scheduling range next tournament.
i was hoping for it this tournament, but ichi needed his nap. its probably going to be one of the first few bouts. with hiw ranks should shake out
m8, you could punch a sumotori in the head with karate fists for 15 straight minutes and he would feel nothing and laugh them off. That's how strong they are. It's true, I saw it in an anime.
>will Kakuryu and his attendants just move to a different stable?
Pretty much, unless there's an on-hand replacement. That's one of the reasons the stables are all in groups.
>Sumoforum
I got kicked off of that forum for being a "nazi" because of pic related.
Bunch of pussies on that site.
It's a KISS logo, btw.
Why do so many Japanese get stomach and pancreas cancers?
>Tochi's problems seem 90% mental at this point
No way. The guy is covered with injection marks. He's full of painkillers. He probably can't even feel his feet.
because cancer is one of the last deseases you cant heal. nowadays you can even live with AIDS till the end, only cancer fucks around and thats why you read often cancer.
Cancer isn't a single disease.
>Cancer isn't a single disease.
Go smartassing with your mother, you stupid cocksucker!
Wouldn't that make him very prone to using his full strength and thus being more susceptible to re-injury? Given that we haven't seen him even attempt to use his old moves, I doubt that he's all that drugged-up.
Obesity and diabetes are heavy risk factors for both. Smoking is also a heavy risk factor which is why you see it so much in older guys. Heavy alcohol consumption can also exacerbate other conditions that in turn increase the risk for pancreatic cancer, although the direct link between alcohol and cancer is weak. Add that all up and simply being a sumo wrestler is a massive risk for developing those types of cancers.
Eating Fish, the sea around Japan is virtually nuclear green
Gyoji's are taking an ass whoopin' this basho.
Ahh Tony save me
bump
takakeisho's look of pure ecstasy found only through absolute primal domination.
Tochi wins the rematch
fucking kek
Takakeisho is the real deal lads. Probably the most consistent Japanese born rikishi since Kisenosato unless I'm missing someone
tomorrow
Okinoumi - Kagayaki
Shohozan - Meisei
Takakeisho - Goeido
Mitakeumi - Myogiryu
it looks like they want playoffs this time ah ah
Ikioi sole leader in Juryo
promotions to Makuuchi from J12 are very rare tho
Nah he tried to use his old moves. Check out his bout with Chiotaiyruu (or w.e). Tochinoshin typically steamrolls him and carries him outside the ring like a baby. This tournament he struggled to lift him at all.
His knee is basically fucked and at this point he's just accelerating the rate at which he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. It's been like this for the last two tournaments. Something is seriously wrong that he won't fix because the reconstructive surgery one hundred percent guarantees he will lose his ozeki rank.

>Takakeisho gotta be the favourite at this point, he's looking quite in form.
Looks like a beast and only legitimately lost one bout, but just because he was robbed in the previous one and didn't clear his mind.
>and abi
Gonna be a henka, innit.
>because the reconstructive surgery one hundred percent guarantees he will lose his ozeki rank
Losing bouts does that too, you know.
Neat.
>Daieisho - Asanoyama: they are 6-1, so a really dangerous day tomorrow for Asanoyama
told you
is that dude an american?
guy who just btfo'd the higher rank
the sheer size of the man tits.
do these guys slay nippon vagoo?
This gyoji should really give a try in the WWE.
>Takakeisho - Goeido
Goeido is 7-3 and won the last two
they both already achieved their main target of wins needed for the Ozeki status
OK, Tochi losing his rank ...
Yutakayama with a fabulous saving throw
while balancing on one foot on the roop. Kachikoshi for him
Tsurugishio with an easy win. he'll probably get ten.
Salt man takes a win. Will he get ten losses?
Shohozan gets beaten pretty bad and misses out on kachikoshi today
Okinoumi beats meisei both tied now, probably out of running.
Enho loses to takarafuji. I think he should have kept circling dark souls style and eventually get behind fuji and ride him out
Kotoeko with a powerful overarm throw on ishiura
Asanoyama shouldn't have gone downike that. Daieisho has his number like said
Hokutofuji looked in trouble for a second. good save and finish
Aoiyama actually looking good. he needs to fight like that all the time
Shodia looked like he just gave up against abi.
Tamawashi with a strong showing against endo, endo couldn't do anything. both are one away from kachikoshi
****OZEKI Takakeisho. Cap it off with the yusho too? will they promote him to yokozuna if he wins this and the next?****
The fucking goyjis this tournament. There was no reason to stop the goeido match either time. Goeido finally finishes it with a nice belt throw. Kachikoshi for him so he keeps his rank
Goyji wasn't happy just fucking up one match, had to double down on tochi's. Mitakeumi takes the win, tochi looked in better position on the first go that shouldnt have been stopped, might have won too. might be it for him. He should beat ryuden tomorrow, but goeido might be who he loses rank to.
is this the one who fell and stepped on taka's foot?
takakeisho has the yusho if he wins out. he'll be motivated by that for sure.
>is this the one who fell and stepped on taka's foot?
... and the one who was pushed out by Tochi yesterday.
Tochi looked like he was seething when that matta was called
I feel sorry for him but at the end of the day he's the one who decides what to do about that knee
>will they promote him to yokozuna if he wins this and the next?
unlikely
they waited one tournament to award him the Ozeki rank; they'll do the same; but there is a great need for a Japanese yokozuna: next year there are the Olympics, what if they want a jap to perform an entering ceremony there instead of the Mongolians? I'm not forgetting the rule of 2 consecutive yusho at ozeki, this time they may overlook that considering the current semi-ozeki stratus; also, what if he beats the 2 others yokozuna? what if it's a zensho yusho?
tl;dr probability > 0%
was for
I need another coffee (but eh I'm glad getting up early in the morning because of sumo)
the quasi ozeki status might not be enough for them, but a zensho yusho might do it, especially if hak and kak are still in it, and takayasus back healthy.
That rope dancing by Yutakayama lmao.
Looks like Takarafuji got Enho solved for this bout.
Ishiura v Kotoeko was a very interesting bout. Very similar "bodily conditions", but it seemed as Koto got the superior technique. Also, Ishiura is 29 years old WTF?
I believe one simply can not enjoy TakaBEAST's bouts. He is just this great. BTW what are yokozuna requirements?
What the fuck is this gyoji doing, what a moron.
This guy lmao.
>I believe one simply can not enjoy TakaBEAST's bouts.
Shouldn't it be "can not not enjoy"? Ah well.
biggest is back to back yusho, or equivalent record, is the way its described.
It's doable.
Especially with chumps like Kakuryu up there.
Absolutely pathetic performance by Chiyoshoma.
Webm user, can you post Terutsuyoshi vs Azumaryu? I need to save that disgusting henka.
how many refs committed sudoku this year?
Thank you.
It’s just 1 ref fucking up every time. Same guy tripped Taka, tripped and fell out of the ring, got knocked out of the ring by Tochi yesterday, and made like 4 bad matta calls today
Takakeisho has a good chance for yokozuna next year if he stays healthy. What's the youngest yokozuna ever? He's only just turned 23
Tochinoshin sucks.
He should just sudoku himself at the end. Thats why they have tanto on them.
At the very least retire in shame.
Whywas no Enho-Salt-man fight so far?
>Tochinoshin's knee sucks
>>Tochinoshin's knee sucks
wouldnt be surpriced if his career ends soon ...
really shame, 2bh!
I wish he won one more basho, and get a yokozuna rank just for retire.
Butsince he doesnt have his pick-up moves anymore ... he is kinda finished.
Cool doku. Should be in the OP for the new-fans!
youtube.com
Since no Yakuza arround ... who makes this evil-spirit-thing?
Its not the same guy. The one that triped Takakeishou and fell was Kimura Tamajiro and the one today with the matta calls was the Tate gyoji Shikimori Inouske
The shimpan and gyoji have been right on time with their shitty calls this basho. They must have been practicing.
I bet the TV ratings went up a bit because people expect another episode
you now remember Yokozuna
there is a difference of 25 IQ points between those two audiences
You can almost see Tochinoshins taint.
[spoiler]At what price would you lick it?[/spoiler]
I've only got $20 but I guess I could take out a loan.
>Whywas no Enho-Salt-man fight so far?
they tend to put rikishi with the same score against each other; if salt-bae was 3-1 like Enho at the beginning they'd have met on Day 5 or 6 probably
there are days in which they prefer to go by the "closest ranked" rule, while sometimes they chose 2 rikishi that never met before, and so on; this is for salaried ranks, lower divisions are more schematic
Died age 62. I wonder what sumo life expectancy is compared to the normal population
About 10 years shorter than average
10 years less, give or take. The sample size is too small though, you get outliers like 22 and 95 actually having an effect because of how few rikishi there are. It all comes down to how much damage you take to vital organs.
No mongoloians during that era doesn't count
en.wikipedia.org
>severe obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m2) reduces life expectancy by ten years
It's different for rikishi because their fat is subcutaneous, not visceral. They still have some of the circulation issues and all of the joint problems, but not most obesity related complications.
Sumo obesity is surely not the same as regular obesity though. Very active lifestyle and relatively healthy diet apart from the supersize meals.
Although I believe strongmen have poor life expectancy too. Might be all the steroids
>strongmen have poor life expectancy too.
Strongmen eat like shit compared to sumo wrestlers and live a much less healthy lifestyle. They are the regular kind of obese (plus muscle). Lots of visceral fat, heart health issues, etc.

>He may never get another chance to gain it back
OUR GAIJIN IS IN TROUBLE
He's going to beat Ryuuden tomorrow and some mid-maegashira guy day 14 and Goeido is going to fucking henka him last day.
Ryuden is today for us on this side of the world, a few hours really. i think goeido is the one who takes him out, but ryuden can do it to since he'll be fighting to try and squeak out kachikoshi
Chiyonokuni won
they'll be around Ms4 and Ms9 in November, fighting each other again over the Juryo promotion
Tsurugisho got 33 wins over the last 45 bouts
you know what I'm implying right?
You can do it Tochi
Wtf was that tachiai by Takakeisho
Goeido really does have Takakeisho's number ffs, wide open yusho race now though, I'm thinking a Taka/Mita playoff probably
Anyone else get turned on by their big arses?
but look at tomorrow schedule:
Mitakeumi - Goeido (5-9)
Ryuden - Takakeisho (0-2)
Okinoumi - Endo (4-8)
Tsurugisho - Kotoyuki (2-0)
it'is pointing to a Takakeisho-Tsurugisho showdown on the last day
Tsurugisho getting the yusho in his first tournament in the top division would be something
indeed
Enho up early in the tournament. Looked like he slipped while being pulled down. 9 for Yutakayama
Meisei and Shohozan are slow to start and another two unnecessary stop. Meisei messes up his own throw/footwork and Shohozan gets kachikoshi
Tochiozan looks like hes giving up against kotoyuki. turns his back too soon
Salt man henkaed and return to the dirt
Takarafuji gets tossed by tsurugishio. I thought fuji had the force out
Okinoumi gets to 10.
Chiyotairu's wost tournament in a while
Asanoyama slips tom
Aoiyama to little to late on the wins. resorting to slap down almost lost him this one too
Hokutofuji with great saves all around, including the one for the win
Endo good belt work and great use of the rope to keep himself in. kachikoshi
Abi with his usual disgusting to watch sumo, but a wins a win and he gets kachikoshi.
Mitakiumi almost lost that. 10 for him
Tochi walks ryuden out of the ring. two more
Takakeisho goes too low letting goeido get ahold of the back of his belt and cant do anything to regain balance. might have had a shot if he could have grabbed goeido's mawashi
4 man race now
>j10
>j6
goeido was good enough to get the belt over the shoulder. takakeisho usually starts like that and then powers through
mita might loses to goeido. goeido's got a shot at the tusho if he wins out with mita tomorrow and tochi on 15, and everyone else drops one. sumo association trying to rig him a yusho?
We're due Chokeido soon though, it might not be until senshuraku but he's starting to look good now which is usually when it happens, I think Mita wins tomorrow desu
keep in mind mitas had it rough the last few days besides brokenoshin. he almost lost today, did lose to ryuden, and was shoved around by tamawashi till tom got sloppy
Not much to say about Enho and Ishiura other than that the first one lost and the other went with a henka.
Shohozan v Meisei was another bout with crappy gyoji - the time he allowed them to duel was not any better than all the ones he ordered to restart. And having been slapped out of the title race like that must've hurt.
What a nice bout that Tsurugisho v Takarafuji was. Very strong tachi-ai and some nice clinch action. Great witn for Tsuru.
Solid win for Okinoumi, looked pretty evenly matched with Kagayaki, but good on his feet with a cheeky torso twist and pulled off a win.
Kotoeko looked like he was about to get thrown out of the dohyo, but managed to push out his rival in the end. Pretty darn impressive.
Hokutofuji v Tomokaze very exciting bout. So was Kotoshogiku v Endo. Endo showed he has potential for some top-tier sumo in him.
Tochinoshin v Ryuuden looked like they both expected the other one to henka lmao. Solid bout and important win for Tochi.
Takakeisho got defeated too easily, but it was a very good move by Goeido. Made use of his height advantage, good grip on the mawashi and just pushed Taka onto the clay. Still my favourite for the title.
>Not much to say about Enho and Ishiura other than that the first one lost and the other went with a henka.
We can say that he deserves it because of yesterday
>>j10
>>j6
sure, but still: 25 of the 33 wins were against past and present top division guys, while only 2 of the 12 defeats come from someone that has never been in the top division
There's also a large gulf between mid and lower maegashira, who are "top division", and actual sanyaku guys, especially yokozuna. It's why one of the conditions of ozeki promotion is already being sekiwake, because they face all the other sanyaku and top maegashira. 11 wins against that level of competition is much more impressive than 11 wins against juryo or lower maegashira.
total wins for an ozeki run don't even count until your rank is at sekiwake level
>Tochi walks ryuden out of the ring. two more
I hope she manages it!

The last 4 ozeki promotions all started their runs at komusubi or lower but anyway I don't think he's actually saying he should be promoted straight to ozeki my dudes
I know that, my point is that double digit wins in the lower ranks doesn't necessarily mean someone will do amazingly higher up, because the quality of competition is so different.
bring Yago and Kaisei back up please
I love when Tochi does that flex and then waddles quickly over to the salt before the tachiai, always gets me hyped up
Try to figure THIS shit out...
Ozeki-
Goeido and Takayasu, safe till next basho.
Takakeisho returns freeing up a sekiwake slot
Tochinoshin will likely lose his rank.
Sekiwake-
Mitaki is safe on the east side.
Taka will go freeing up the west, but for who?
Komosube-
Abi and Endo both made kashi koshi, so can rightfully be promoted.
If there's no room for promotion, I guess they'll just hold Abi and Endo in place again next basho.
Abi got an 8-7 last tournament at komusubi and stayed put because Takakeisho dropped to sekiwake like Tochinoshin might do this time. If Tochi is somehow able to keep his spot then the higher of Abi or Endo will get promoted, otherwise it's doubtful even with a 10-5 thanks to Mitakeumi having such a strong score. There might be an outside chance of one of them getting promoted if Asanoyama finishes strong enough that they want to promote him to komusubi, but even then they could just make him a third komusubi.
Day 15:
Takakeisho 11 -3
Tsurigisho 11 - 3
>third komusubi.
last time we had K2 was November 2006 (Aminishiki and Roho)
Ill be visiting Tokyo October 16-24th. Where is the best place to watch live matches?
It's September.
Yeah, so it's possible.
October is when they're on regional exhibition tours, the next tournament isn't until November.
>We're due Chokeido
he seems focused
if either Endo or Abi reach 10 wins, maybe they could promote them to a third Sekiwake spot and it would open up a spot for Asanoyama to go up to Komusubi
There are tours with slots open on viator to watch a practice, and theres others where you can fight a retired sumo wrestler and eat chanko if thats more your drift
Somebody step up for chrissake
Eagerly looking forward to Chokeido vs. Mitachokeumi.
Even if you don't like the guy you gotta admit watching Tochinoshin constantly walk the tightrope is pretty entertaining
>I say Asanoyama
>He chokes
>I say Takakeisho
>Gets BTFO by Goeido
Thats it, I'm a Tsurugichad now bros
How the fuck do so many of you know so much about wrestling
What's the point of watching a sport if you don't at least learn a bit about it?
Asashoryu's nephew is making a second visit to Juryo, but his promotion is still unlikely: the match is more about how many ranks Irodori will drop
second poll results:
Takakeisho 60%
Tsurugisho 30%
Mitakeumi 10%
others 0%
Based little shitter gets kachi koshi
Goodbye Tsurugisho we hardly knew ye
F U really
how hard is it to push a sumo for a normal man?
Tomokaze first ever makekoshi
arguably still a positive tournament with a kinboshi and 58 envelopes considering how hard the schedule can be for an M3
Endo just got ROBBED wtf
How can these retards be so incompetent
kek
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT
My fucking sides, didn't see that coming. Funny how stuff like henka and kotenage seems contagious sometimes
Tochi ;_;
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What a trainwreck day of sumo that was, RIP Tochi, really don't see him coming back without 10 henkas
tomorrow:
Mitakeumi - Endo
Okinoumi - Takakeisho
Wakatakakage gets his kachikoshi from ishiura. Ishiura has one more shot tomorrow
Shohozan keeps his balance. Azumaryu makekoshi
Onosho fights hard to get kachikoshi too
Enho kachikoshi. tochiozan tried to grip the rope with his toes lol
Salt mans match was fun to watch, but he had like 5 shots to push takagenji out, and he blew his shot
Tsurugishio goes down to kotoyuki, giving kachikoshi to him
Kotoeko a shot at kachikoshi tomorrow
Sadanoumi kachikoshi
Chiyotairu upset over his loss, and pounds the dirt with his fist. hope his sumo is better next tournament. Feel sorry for him
Meisei drops another. Disappointing last 3 days
Asanoyama with a strong throw, but props to tomokaze for even making it into a match.
Hokutofuji powers through tamawashi for kachikoshi. didnt think hed make it early on
Aoiyama with the henkas of all henkas. Might have been a hair pull if they caught it
Abi beats takarafuji his normal way. fuji is too slow to deal with him
The goyji fucks up another call, decides to stop watching the mach, no monoii called, okinoumi hit the ground first on that throw. rigged to keep a playoff. some bullshit. Endo robbed
Ryuden is just not strong enough or heavy enough to deal with the beast. didn't even look like he knew what to do against takakeisho
Mitakiumi didn't want any of goeido. Whats with all these top guys henkaing this tournament.
Chokenoshin. Bad ring awareness got him again. He looked like he was going to win that after he stepped out too. Myogiryu has a chance for kachikoshi even after coming back after missing a few days.
this was the worst call this tournament, and probably for a long time. cant undertand why they didn't review it unless they want to keep okinoumi's record
hed do it too lol
>cant undertand why they didn't review it unless they want to keep okinoumi's record
because the closest ringside judge is who called it
The video review room judge needs a lot more clout. It's ridiculous that they can just go "eh, nah" to anything he says.
The Shadow knows.
i rewatched to look at the judges. i cant see the side judge, but the front one is looking over and nodding his head. still think they just gave it to okinoumi
still air underneath, and theres no mark on the dirt. atleast in tochinoshin's heel gate match there was a mark
Aoiyama ffs, very lame against poor Kotoshogiku.
Also these racists godless yellow bugs stole from Tochinoshin yet again. How dare they?
> b-b-but he touched outside
SO??? Know your place, inferior nips. To hell with the association You need some """Opinion SHAPERS"""!!!!
On the other hand Endo, as much as I dislike him, he in fact didn't touch. Bad decision there.
The irrelevant gypsy crawls out of his mud hut to yell impotently at the world, eternally furious that he will forever be so irrelevant that he has to latch on vicariously to a culture he has nothing in common with on the other side of the world.
cringe inc.
Ask him whether he's all out of real estate. He'll have no answer and that'll be all she wrote
Losing Ura was not worth gaining Enho desu
there's a clear angle on NattoSumo's recap of the judge calling it
honestly i can't say he didn't touch, but it's pretty reminiscent of the time tochi copped similar
better yet, here's a webm of it
lost
The sand is there literally for this exact reason and it didn't even look like someone farted on it, let alone actually touched it. Hopefully Takakeisho blows him the fuck out.
Yes based Mitakeumi
Now if he beats Endo we are guaranteed a playoff. I think Takakeisho will win the playoff.
takakeisho beat him easily this tournament. mitakiumi couldn't do shit in that match. if he doesn't get henkaed that is. mita should have saved that for takakeisho since hes going to be on the lookout for it now, and mita doesn't have anything else to use on taka now. maybe endo gets him to after getting todays stolen from him
i use natto, and i missed that view completely. thanks
imagine actually watching this """""sport"""""" lmao
Wow thanks for your expertise Switzerland, gonna stop watching this now since someone from a country that's contributed absolutely nothing to sport in its entire history said I shouldn't
> mountainkike hates manly sport
If playoff, I call Mitakeumi win.
He might have sucked here against Takakeisho, but he was pretty dominant over him in the past.
he had a 5 bout run on him, but hes lost the last two. mitas been pushed around alot this tournament with some narrow wins, which doesn't bode well against takakeisho, whos probably the best at that style of sumo right now.
back before Jews, anime, and Americans ruined Japan
>Ishiura
Enho looked strong and a positive record is fully deserving.
Terutsuyoshi looked to be in control of the fight until he got pushed out. Really not his time, isn't it.
Good defence by Asanoyama there. It's nice to see him winning.
Didn't know how nimble Aoiyama can be LMAO.
Endo proves again that he has some good sumo under his belt, defending like that is not something just anyone could pull off. Not even a mono-ii for that bout, tho? Idiot refs robbed two guys this tournament, absolutely shamefur!
TakaBEAST looks strong as ever. Good to know that that loss yesterday didn't affect him at all. Yusho.
Henkakeumi going full Aoiyama? Not very impressive, you know.
>HEEL
Fuck!
BTW I'm now 100% positive it is the former rikishi Takamisakari out there on extra referee duty.
>heelgate 2.0 - now with even more doubts
>BTW I'm now 100% positive it is the former rikishi Takamisakari out there on extra referee duty.
yeah, the commentator said it too
They need to train people with better eyesight to replace these old fucks that can't see shit
>but there is a great need for a Japanese yokozuna: next year there are the Olympics
Is there isn't an active Japanese Yokozuna by the time of the Olympics they'll just drag an old fucker (or Kisenosato) out of the mothballs and drap him in one of these red bad boys.
Hakuho is Japanese now.
I dont get it, why is it so hard to defeat Enho? Dont you just keep him far away, maybe like a hand on his head, keep trusting until he just kinda topples, most guys that won against him did that to great results. Why do some insist in grappling him and letting their hips low where he has a competitive chance.
>Dont you just keep him far away, maybe like a hand on his head
He's just going to back away to try to maneuver around them if they do that. Do it again, he'll do the same thing. And they can't just stand there separate forever.
They won't promote him until he's been ozeki for at least a few tournaments but the whole 2 yusho in a row thing isn't real, more yokozuna in the modern period got promoted without it than with it, and the two most recent were Kakuryu and Kisenosato and neither of them did it
>that cheeky Aoiyama
What day was this from?
Cringe.
>What a trainwreck day of sumo that was,
let's remember Ikioi yusho in Juryo and forget the rest
vk
dot
com/video539040432_456241488
it was last basho
Did not like the way Tochiozan's ankle moved.
>that noticeable disappointment and "not this shit again" in both commentators' voices after another Aoyama henka
He's sure to win because his speed is superior.
What the hell happened to Chirotairyu?
Can't blame Aoiyama, Giku was begging for it with that tachiai.
Webm user please post the Aoiyama match.
>Can't blame Aoiyama
You don't henka the Geek. Not ever. That's an iron rule of sumo nowadays.
They made him shave his sideburns and they were about 30% of his power.
>Webm user please post the Aoiyama match.
honestly we need a henka compilation, there have been so many this basho
Takarafuji, Hokutofuji and Daieisho need a win tomorrow to enter a very limited club of guys with 48 wins in the last 6 tournaments; it's a little nice stat if you think about it: you get there for example by scoring 6 times a 8-7 (a full year of kachikoshi); unfortunately the first two will go against each other :(
how nuclear mad will the japs be when mitakeumi chokes again and okinoumi flukes his way to another win against takakeisho, giving him the basho especially with what happened today vs endo
good job Takamisakari, we still love you
Imagine if Okinoumi henkas Takakeisho.
that club is small because at every kachikoshi you'll get a promotion and so the following tournament will be more difficult; you also have to avoid injuries for a whole year of course
(explaining to the newbies, don't mind me)
Abi is the only guy eligible for a full top division calendar year kk run if he gets 8 next tournament.
He's also leading in total wins for 2019!
I have no idea how he manages to be so good and so shit at the same time
He's the definition of "good enough." He keeps up his winning scores but has never gotten more than 10 wins at the top division. He's also never lost more than 9 in the top division which means his losing scores aren't that damaging. All he needs is a solid ozeki run and he'll be the next Goeido.
and he's getting envelopes too
must be doing something right desu...
(thanks to Sumo Forum for the data)
Are those envelopes specifically for him or are they total envelopes in matches that he won? Because upper maegashira and komusubi will mean more of the latter simply by virtue of facing higher ranked guys on a regular basis.
bouts wins
he got 71 envelopes placed for him at the beginning of Aki
sumoforum.net
but you still have to win the bouts
some of those went to others on defeats, he got someone else kensho on the wins, hard to tell, also because envelopes placed can vary during the tournament, notably when a yokozuna retires
I hope Tochi wins today and takes a fat stack home as consolation.
Aight, so we can all agree that tochinoshin needs to retire right?
Only retards think that
He should take a tournament off though
Motobayashi form Naruto gets the Jonidan yusho
he's still undefeated since debut
talking tochi? he cant. hes got a shot to get ten and regain ozeki next tournament. if he gets it back, he should take two off like takakeisho, get surgery, and see if 5 months would be enough to heal it and try and get 10 again. would be crazy if he gets it back 3 times
Dr. Takasu is based
too many henka this tournament
it's time for an official statement against it form the NSK
I don't know a legit way to stop it conpletely, but a 5K dollars fine to the stable would probably be effective to reduce the occurrence
(You)
mumble mumble...
PLAYOFF TIME
First one in two years wow
This is what the sport has become now. Henka to secure a position at the yusho in the post Hakuho era. Fuck zoomers!
>Asanoyama 45%
>Takakeisho 60%
you guys are useless lmao
Mitakuemi - 2 yushos
Takayasu - still 0
Was he the Jannetty Flip all along?
based training pals
Ozeki run begins for Mitakeumi.
RIP to Tochi too, he probably has no knee left under those bandages.
First match, henka.
Yutakayama gets 10
Tsurugishio drops another. Not sure what that move was at the end, but onosho punishes him for it
Good belt move by Enho. 9 wins. Hes gunning for ichinojo. First day next tournament please
Salt man with an ugly fucking win. nishikigi should have been able to win that
Tochiozan fucks up a his henka. 2nd today
Kotoyuki has really suprised me this tournament with how good his balance is for his body type
Ishiura with a nice starting move. kachikoshi
Daieisho and kotoeko have a fun bout to watch. Daieisho kachikoshi
Meisei strong sumo, beats his losing streak, and takes out asanoyama. both 10-5
Aoiyama gets tossed
Takarafuji just to slow to finish hokutofuji when he had him
First good call by the judges this tournament. Nice to see Myogiryu come back from an injury and get kachikoshi, especially when its beating abi. others should take note of how he beat abi
Takakeisho doing what he does best
Endo ended by mitakiumi
Goeido adding insult to injury. Beats tochi easily. probably would have been the same even with tochis rank on the line if he won yesterday
Mitakiumi yusho. Takakeisho shouldn't have tried that pull down twice. not his style of sumo.
Welp, probably back to lolhakuhowins next tournament. its been a few so hes due for another
thanks for the (You)
have a macaron in return
based
>Funny how stuff like henka and kotenage seems contagious sometimes
There was a tournament not too long ago where in one day there were like four tottari. Now if feels like I haven't seen one for a year.
>a country that's contributed absolutely nothing to sport in its entire history
Don't say that, all the courts and shit that are forcing trannies into the women's Olympics are in Switzerland!
is the top right one before the mongolians pop up abi?
Will Kaisei be back next basho?
no, still in Juryo
around J3 or J4
I hope he stays there
Mitakeumi 2 (TWO) yushos. Already the most successful Jap of the last 15 years
Based PINO Mitakeumi tied with Yokozuna Kisenosato. Takayasu on suicide watch.
>it's possible.
yeah, but the field between M1 and M8 will look like Sendai after the tsunami; they'll have to drop one more guy to Juryo, starting a chain reaction that will go down to Makushita 10s since half Juryo is messed up, see
well... let's do it!!!
btw
1) it never happened that a M1e with 9 wins remained at M1e
2) the last K to be promoted to S2 after 9 wins was Dejima 20 years ago
Aww come on man, its nice to have some lardgod shitters in the division once in a while, also hes brazilian.
oh wait, they'll need more guys from Juryo, or they will get rid of M17 and M16... or... well, I give up; let's see first how many Ms will go up: that promotion will be announced next Wednesday
> If playoff, I call Mitakeumi win.
so, I was right afterall. Mitakeumi > Takakeisho
But the next one is crucial for Mitakeumi. If both Kakuryu and Hakuho are on and in shape, getting 12 again might be too much for him. And then there is Takayasu needing KK and Tochi needing 10. Mitakeumi has a tough ozeki run and he needs to be top shape. A 10 win might still be a partial success, but 9-6 will suck.
Demonstrating his style of sumo.
It's been fun, see you guys in November.
The absolute state of the top rankers. At least Goeido is always there, mediocre as ever.
Opening the final day with a henka? Come the fuck on.
Enho's win was solid. Love seeing him win over heavier rikishi.
Terutsuyoshi's was the sloppiest tachi-ai the whole tournament, yet he still managed to win, fucking lmao.
Ishiura finishing on a positive record is great news too.
>Abi trying to henka on a torinaoshi
Shamefur!
Okinoumi was pretty strong, but there was nothing he could do to overcome his oponent. Neither could Endo.
Tochinoshin went in strong on the tachi-ai, but got spun and pushed out. Too bad, but this was clearly not his tournament.
The play-off was good. Both rokishi evenly matched and strong all throughout the tournament. Sure I feel little down for Takakeisho not making it (maybe if it wasn't for the gyoji fuck-up...), but it's not like Mitakeumi wasn't deserving it. Good for him.
Cheers!
>Mitakeumi and Abi
>Asanoyama (?) and Who?
>Enho and Someguy
> Good belt move by Enho. 9 wins. Hes gunning for ichinojo. First day next tournament please
Yeah, I think Ichinojo will lose, because he's too tall and most rikishi have real problems against short ones. Tamawashi vs Ishiura was a prime example today. Mind you Takakeisho is short too and that's one of the strongest reasons for his success so far.
> Tochiozan fucks up a his henka. 2nd today
I feel bad for him. Shown he didn't practice that crap too much.
>Kotoyuki has really suprised me this tournament with how good his balance is for his body type
Oh man, Kotoyuki has those damn good tsuppari. Too bad he's not so young anymore.
>Meisei strong sumo, beats his losing streak, and takes out asanoyama. both 10-5
NO!!! Just NO! Meisei only won because that epitome of loose mawashi and I think was done on purpose. That was a disgrace. Asanoyama to pull that needs to get higher and that's why he lost. Gyoji should have interrupted the match or a monoi should have been called. I mean look at it, mawashi nearly reaches Meisei's shoulder. That is absolutely disgusting.
> Takarafuji just to slow to finish hokutofuji when he had him
He was out of balance too.
> Mitakiumi yusho. Takakeisho shouldn't have tried that pull down twice. not his style of sumo.
His style of sumo is just push forward and knows little else. Can;t do his style when he loses tachiai.
Sumo is not considered a sport so take this shit to /jp/
Tochiouzan deserved to get raped for trying to henka Kotoshougiku.
Absolutely agree regarding Meisei. It reminded me of last year when Tochi was lifting everybody out of the ring and suddenly people were wearing their mawashi suspiciously loose.
Seething English teacher
Sumo IS a sport, so shove it up your ass you slant eyed pencil dick.
>i dont like him
>must be english teacher
The cope is real.
Talk to any Japanese person. They will tell you sumo is not a sport you gigantic weeb
>NO!!! Just NO! Meisei only won because that epitome of loose mawashi
Yeah, noticed that too.
Are there any rules about that, that the refs could act on? If they weren't shit all throughout the tournament, that is.
Yea Forums crossover
youtube.com
As long as the mawashi doesn't fall off then they don't care, there's nothing against wearing it loose and it's just part of the sport.
Yeah, gyoji interrupts the bout while keeping them in position while he reties the loose belt and then lets them continue.
Some user posted webm of such thing done in some lower division last tournament thread if I'm not mistaken.
Tobizaru vs Azumaryu - Nagoya 2019
vk
dot
com/video539040432_456241205
Yeah in that case it's pretty clear it's because Azumaryu's knot had come undone and it was in danger of falling off completely. But Tobizaru was actually wearing his looser than Azumaryu was, just that his knot didn't come loose. Meisei's was in no danger of coming off, and it's personal preference how tight or loose they want to wear theirs as long as it doesn't fall off. So again, dumb gypsy barges in pretending he knows everything when he knows nothing.
cry more ken-sama
Yeah this dumb shitskin here is finally right for once, Knot has to unravel.
Doesn't make Meisei's win less disgusting. Tough if Asanoyama caught more belt strips, he wouldn't had that problem.
>ichinojo will happen next tournament if enho gets kachikoshi. it just has to.
>It's entirely possible.
>Enho. 9 wins. Hes gunning for ichinojo
Ichinojo will be around M12 while Enho will be around M7
they'll not met on the first days, and if Ichi will start posting wins and Enho losses (both really possible) they'll not met in the first week because the score will be too different; the only way to met is in the final days if they are tied in the virtual rankings, that is if they are both aiming to occupy M9 in January; we need Ichi 7-5 and Enho 5-7 with 3 days to go; it's possible, but not bet on it
It's literally been part of sumo from the very beginning, the only reason why you think it's "disgusting" is because you're fucking retarded taking a metaphorical shit everywhere you go.
hey fucking moron, ask how many are fine with it. Not nips, not anyone likes that crap. But I guess you are fine with it just because I'm not, you cocksucking faggot.
Yes Mr. Romanian, tell me more about what the opinions are of people you've never met from a country halfway across the world from you.
inb4 tu quoque
nice henka attempt Abi you fat bitch haahahahahaha
>Yes Mr. Romanian, tell me more about what the opinions are of people you've never met from a country halfway across the world from you.
If you insist. Here:
They think you are a faggot, I tend to agree.
Naruto stable had the best score of the tournament:
Naruto 46-31 - 60%
Musashigawa 70-50 - 58%
Onoe 56-41 - 58%
Ounomatsu 57-41 - 58%
Sakaigawa 100-76 - 57%
Dewanoumi 64-49 - 57%
Yamahibiki 55-43 - 56%
>foreign "opinion shaper" thinks he knows more about the people and the sport than the people who actually live there
>wants to get rid of an accepted part of sumo because he personally doesn't like it
If you hate sumo so much then go back to competitive shit-filled-cart pulling or whatever your national sport is and stop trying to ruin another country's sport.
faggot, no one likes loose mawashi just like no one likes henka (most of the time). Can I not like loose mawashi, faggot? Can I?
YES I CAN and you can't do shit about it, beside being a faggot.
And no, I don't tell nips what they should do with their national sport either. Despite loose mawashi and henka and sometimes wrong decisions, I still watch sumo and not other sport. Got it? Good, now fuck off, Tyrone.
>faggot, no one likes loose mawashi
Then why in the centuries long history of the sport have they never taken an extremely simple action to mandate a tight mawashi? Answer: because they don't actually give a shit and you're fucking retarded pretending you know anything about a culture on the other side fo the world from you. PROTIP: loose mawashi actually harms the person wearing it if their opponent is good at actual belt grappling, because it makes it easier to get a grip and throw them. If Asanoyama tried doing that instead of going for just lifts then he would've won, so the fault lies in him being a one-trick dipshit and not adjusting during that match.
Yes, he is. Jews are cancer and should be outcast for intentionally stirring up nazi shit.
Funny how the U.S. and Europe makes allies of our enemies while the Jew insists the world holds a grudge solely against THEIR enemies while running a concentration camp in Israel that the world seems to ignore.
FUCK the Jews and their incessant whining.
> Then why in the centuries long history of the sport have they never
> Thus people like loose mawashi and henkas
Proof you're an imbecile.
> If Asanoyama
Didn't I just say that earlier, you retard?
Most Jews around the world don't support Israel either, and Netanyahu happily hops in bed with anti-Jew right-wingers in America and Europe if it benefits him and the powers who rule Israel. You think it's an international Jewish conspiracy, but in reality Israel is a glorified Judenrat and has been ever since it was established.
If they hated them then they would be banned, simple as that. Their continued tolerance clearly shows that the sumo culture and audience accepts the place of both depending on the context. Mawashi tightness is an accepted part of typical sumo gamesmanship that only punishes one-trick idiots. Whining about it just highlights how brainless you are.
Mitakeumi is usually pretty healthy I think. Injuries seem to be biggest stumbling back to the top ranks. He could end up Ozeki by default while everyone else keeps getting hurt
So Mitakeumi needs 10-5 next basho and Ozeki?
You have your OWN faggot board. Use it.
Doubtful, that would give him 31 wins over the past three and nobody's gotten ozeki with 31 since Onokuni back in 1985. Goeido and Kisenosato both got ozeki with 32, but Goeido had two 12 win jun-yushos while Kisenosato had three straight double-digit scores, neither of which Mitakeumi have. Plus "9->yusho->11" is exactly what Takakeisho did in his failed ozeki run, he needed another 10 win performance to finally get it. I wouldn't expect Mitakeumi to get ozeki with anything less than 12 wins.
>9+13+10=32
Nah I don't think so.
I think they will not even count the 9 win basho as the start of the ozeki run.
> If they hated them then
> IF
Do you even watch sumo? With sound?
You mean the sound that let me hear all the fans cheering when Tochinoshin henkaed the fuck out of Kakuryu to get his 10th win and repromotion just a few tournaments ago? Again, context. Smaller wrestling taking on someone bigger, lower ranked wrestler taking on a higher ranked powerhouse, an injustice being righted, especially if a Japanese person is giving and/or a non-Japanese is receiving, henkas are not always hated out of principle, which is why they're not fouls. If they were hated in all situations they would be fouls.
The half-Filipino did it! Hopefully Takayasu also comes back next basho.
> #notall
retard, I already said "most of it". Means "generally". Do you not get even your native language, ffs?? Stop nitpicking like a worm.
Takakeisho might have got his left arm injured and apparently is quite serious.
OH NO NO NO NO that fat little doughball just can't catch a break.
>probably a left pectoral/bicep tear
ohboyherewegoagain.gif
pls no
I miss Harumafuji
i doubt they'll drop ichi to m12 from m2, but well just have to see
torn pec or something right
shades of kisenosato, but hopefully he gets surgery instead of toughing it out and forcing himself into retirement
WELP
NEW BANZUKE!!!
first draft, be gentle
enho aoiyama match day 1 then. way wrong about ichinojo dropping. was thinking like 9.
Just hope that everyone stays healthy, but doesn't look like it for takakeisho. i haven't seen anything reported yet about his arm
>ichinojo dropping. was thinking like 9.
last time was 13
he was m7 then missed the whole tournament as m3, different than s1, m4, m2.
they don't look at two basho scores in a row, except for special cases like the Ozeki run; also this:
>Nominal, or "by-the-numbers" rank is what rank they would have if they were moved exactly one rank up for each win and one rank down for each loss or absence.
*glasses you*
New video from the virgin Chris Gould youtube.com
an alternative is giving S2 to Abi (are you prepared for that?)
this would allow more room to avoid another clusterfuck in January
they also can deny K to Asanoyama: it never happened considering the Shukun-Sho; if they go this route, in my banzuke everyone would shift down half rank, so the M16 would be full and other generous promotions I did will look more balanced
in any case, with so many sanyaku fighting each other it's legit to expect a couple of losing records, so the banzuke will be back to normal in January
I miss Ura
en.wikipedia.org
>211 kilograms
>age 19
geee
>if Asanoyama caught more belt strips, he wouldn't had that problem.
It's this. I hated to see that shit too but fundamentally this is about getting only one or two loops of the mawashi as opposed to the entire belt. The fundamental issue for Asanoyama was inability to dig his fingers in and get a better grip, Meisei just didn't give him the time/opening to do it.
Hard same, most fun wrestler to watch for ages.
can we keep up the thread 2 more days please?
we'll know by then if Asashoryu's nephew landed in Juryo
aight
me too
way more exciting to watch than this enho shitter
Doubt it.
Is his ring name Asajuryo?
>According to stablemaster Chiganoura, Takakeisho suffered a strained left pectoral muscle on Sunday and will require six weeks of treatment.
-jpn times
So he can take off as ozeki next basho to heal, and then come back as a kadoban ozeki and get 8. That shouldn't be an issue..
Shitbitch McFucksalot, is he ever going to *actually wrestle* at ozeki rank?
Oh well, at least that might make it a bit easier for Tochinoknee to get back again again back to again the rank again from sekiwake in November.
Well I’ll be damned I had no idea there were sumo generals on here
Only during a basho and a few days after.
apparently a Ms5 with 4 wins has an advantage over Ms6 or Ms7 with 5 wins, especially in the last 5 years
don't ask me why, I'd prefer the extra win
anyway, they pause Makushita for the Juryo ring-entering ceremony, then they do the last bouts; maybe the subgroup Ms1-Ms5 has specific privileges; I can't find the info tho
Wasn't a very good basho but I hope to see you all again.
tochi fighting to keep rank, takakeisho to get it back, and enho being enho made it enjoyable enough. Im looking forward to having the ozeki who uses sweat as a defense back next tournament. Maybe evem clean shaven for extra slip
Watching gyojis fly was entertaining tho
>normal man gets lightly prodded by a rikishi
>goes flying off into the wings like a rubber band
It was a good reminder of how powerful these guys actually are.
The woman at the asian grocery store I like said she touched one of their arms and it was rock hard, unsurprisingly.
>one week old thread being kept alive
