Imagine being Nabatame
>You ignore your obvious injury
>You refuse to have surgery so as not to fall on the banzuke
>You're the only other sekitori in your stable, aside from Roga
>One day, one of your best friends, and one of your high school sumo rivals, joins your stable
>Mita sweeps his sumo debut and quickly rises
>Mita becomes a sekitori
>Even with your injury, you're still "ahead" of Mita
>Your injury worsens, your oyakata has "the talk" with you: surgery now or tears later
>You agree to have the surgery; juryo is very tough, and Mita won't advance much
>You can get your spot back after the surgery...

>First basho where you're absent
>Mita is going to win the juryo basho
>In no time, you'll be the one personally serving him rice...
>Everything will be recorded for posterity in the stable vlogs

Babutamebros...

Imagine being a middle-aged japanese woman having your womb being annihilated by Roga's BSC (Big Siberian Cock) in a filthy Love Hotel run by the Yakuza while Futagoyama oyakata watches you from the cuck chair with Koga on the phone asking if you're "going out for dinner" today.
It really makes you think...

>Sorry, Oyakata... but this is Shish we're talking about... I'll have to use it all.
>COLD BUKKAKE!

First for Nabatame and Mita play off in Juryo

The thing is, mentally, we have Nabatame in a sort of limbo where it's impossible for him to win, and then we discover the army of useless rikishi who are in juryo by chance.
Plus, Nabatame still has room for several powerups:
>Nabatame gets improved parry with his right arm
>Nabatame gets to solidify his weight, making him more muscular and less fat
>Nabatame gets a trans girlfriend who cheers him up and gives him something to fight for

Let the Futagoyama stable cook...
