I'm fine with the threads returning to a slower pace.
The shitposters have less incentive to be here.
Sure I enjoy a hype "storyline", but thats not what I'm here for.
Sumo is fascinating and engaging so much moreso than what is happening at the top.
That said.
Hosh is pretty beat up and trying to fight more from the front to lessen further injury. He is still a bit under sized and going against most of what he's done till now.
Onosato is clearly still fresh to pro sumo. He walked through univeristy sumo with his size and an exquisite signature weapon.
Judging by his stellar nodowa defense this basho kisenosato can definitely teach him. Another year and more defensive tools under his mawashi and Onosato will be even stronger.
Everyone loses in sumo, but it's about the grind.
