Onosato for the Y

And Im gonna go long and say Kotozakura JY

>Sasaki-hakase, ABEMA desu

I'm high on Kirishima knowing that he's probably gonna get injured and end this basho going 6-9

Pull up a chair.

Oh damn, new basho?

ONE
LAST
SLOP

>>149738652
enough with the slop, forever

yoko' ono' on the 'sho

Since Endou got surgery, that means we have a proper readout of the condition of his knee for the first time in like ten years.
Endou's diagnosis is:
>Torn ACL, torn MCL, medial and lateral meniscus tears, arthritis
The certificate recommends 2 months recovery in hospital, which is downright reasonable for a sumo certificate.

>>149739094
Clown basho incoming.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_QiVsf-WcY&ab_channel=TheTatsunamiStable-SumoFoods

Get your last sloppas in before the basho starts.

>>149739336
So basically, there was nothing left functioning in his knees. How was this man fighiting and doing okay? 2 months in the hospital sounds terrible as well.

THE ZENSHO IS REAL! ONOSATO IS GONNA OSHIDASHI HORSESHITRYU SO HARD HE WILL KYUJO FOR THREE BASHOS IN A ROW!

Was waiting for this.
How's our wee lad, the shin-yokozuna Onosato, gonna embarrass the sport? Or will he stand up to the task and deliver Great Sumo?

>>149740189
He's just gonna take it one day at a time and do his brand of sumo. Hopefully his body will move the way he wants it to. Sadly Hoshoryu has done more training bouts so is guaranteed to win the yusho.

>>149740189
DISGRACE TO THE UNIFORM
ONOSATO GOES 5-5-5 IN HISTORIC TRAGEDY
KISENOSATO QUOTED: "I HAVE NO REGRETS"

>KotoKEKura day 1

It's time for the KINO to come home...
Aonishiki ZENSHO YUSHO

>>149739582
>How was this man fighiting and doing okay?
The Spirit of Yamato made him do it.

The new IG Arena looks good, but kinda soulless without the giant portraits.

>>149740434
>Ya gotta stomp harder kid!

>2024
>Yusho and Ozeki
>Vowed to reach yokozuna on his grandfathers grave
>2025
>I am, forgotten

>>149741306
cursed himself by doing the shikona shuffle and all the yokozuna talk

>>149741574
How many zunas have actually been related to a previous zuna? The Hana brothers and Hoshoryu are easy answers, but there must be more.

Gunning wrote an article claiming that they needed a new arena for sumo in Nagoya because of global warming

>>149740359
Dan looks more and more like Gagamaru every day.

Hakuho league will make JSA obsolete.

>>149744409
I seriously doubt it. The reason amasumo is so bad to watch is because that's simply what it is- amateur. If they aren't professionals, they aren't going to invest the time and training needed to perform at a level that's entertaining to watch.

>>149744409
I can't wait for it to fail miserably. Hakuho doesn't seem to realise that just because he loves something doesn't mean the entire world loves it.

>>149739336
Endo will stay in the JSA after retiring from the ring, but if his elder stock were still salable he would do better for himself to sell it and open up a butler cafe.

>>149740359
Aonishiki looks ready to dominate, but he won't Z because Kinbo is on his 2nd week schedule. Probably another 11-4 from him, some guys with long reach seem to be able to beat him and theres a lot of those at the top of the chart.

Mongoru 'zunas gathered to receive the Nihonese emperor a few days ago back in Mongolia, I wonder if they talked about Hakuho's league.

>>149744425
>>149744436
The average new viewer has no idea what the difference between good and bad sumo looks like.

Just get some talent from olympic wrestling, judo, bökh, gay turkish oil wrestling, etc. It adds some 'battle of the martial arts' flavor, like early UFC.
Maybe add weight classes and definitely ban megafatties, normies just think it's gross or funny.
Remove all the rituals so it's bearable to watch live.
Poach Hoshoryu.
And actually sell and market it outside of Japan.


There. Hire me, Hakuho.

>>149744591
Hakuho and even fucking Harumafuji are still wearing official robes, damn. Asashoryu just doesn't give a fuck lmao.

>>149744966
I always thought about this too, but I think the biggest hurdle isn't about the sport itself but actually making it profitable, boxing and ufc which are other 1v1 sports are drenched in the most scummy sponsorships imaginable, if hakuho wants to have sumo sponsored by DUDE WIPES and have their salaries bankrolled by crypto and sports gambling then i'm sure it could be "profitable" but it wouldn't be sumo at that point

>>149744966
Terrible ideas. You're fired.

The only way to make sumo watchable to normies is for matches to be best of 5 or something. No one wants to watch a fight that ends in 3 seconds.

>>149745417
Another bad idea. The suddenness of it adds tension and significance to each movement.

odds for today's competitions

>>149745570
Do you idolise competitive coin flipping or something?

>>149745683
Do you not enjoy professional sumo or something?

>>149745716
I do, but I also acknowledge that sumo is heavily subsidised by the Japanese government for being a part of Japanese history, culture, and religion. Without that subsidisation, sumo wouldn't exist in any professional capacity because fans (especially gaijin) don't want to watch 5 second long fights; they want 5-10 minute long fights with multiple rounds since that's what they're used to watching. And that's before getting into the stigma about sumo wrestlers just being fatsos.

>>149744966
>ban megafatties
wtf?! isn't that half the appeal of sumo? watching landwhales go at it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loKAIPZvjf0

>>149745772
At that point you're just trying to recreate mma instead of focusing on sumo's unique areas, which you'd rather dilute in search of some nebulous, assumed audience somewhere. Should instead be looking for people that would be sumo fans, rather than try to be something it isnt.

>>149745859
If that were true then Dewanojo would be both the strongest and most popular rikishi.

>>149746027
And what exactly are sumo's "unique areas"? A big part of it is the tradition, which doesn't exist outside Japan.

>>149745950
I will investigate.

>>149746748
>The Mongols are allied with Russia
>The Japanese are allied with Ukraine

Aonishiki is going to defeat Hoshoryu and give him a career-destroying injury (he'll break his arm in three different places). It's time for patriots...

I miss Hokuseiho.

>>149746930
A MONGOLIAN HORDE NEDUHITO! ON AN OPEN UKRAINIAN FIELD!

>>149746930
If Aonishiki had the balls to fight for his country, he'd be at the front

>>149747145
Aonishiki is LITERALLY at the front... But what's smarter, attacking your enemy where they expect it or where they DON'T? Aonishiki has opened a front in eastern Russia; he's attacking his enemies from a blind spot.
First, Hoshoryu and its pathetic Mongolian steppe will fall, then Russia will fall.
Russia only has Roga to defend this front.

>>149744253
Oof. Rare but true insult
I say that as a danfan

>>149744966
You post an Asian man in fetish clothing trying to lend authority to your pathetic scrawl, and all it does is highlight that you're a total faggot, conflating your sexual degeneracy with sporting ideals.

>>149748316
you're posting in /sumo/, friend. all we do is post Asian men in fetish clothing

Kusano Ozeki in less than 2 years from now.

Screencap this post.

>>149748761
>promising newbie will do well
This is a lazy prediction. We'll take you seriously if you predict something nobody expects.

>>149748625
is fat hairy bastard going to be any good this time around?

HOPE YOU GOT YOUR PICKS IN LADS

>>149748761
After Onosato made Yokozuna 9 basho from Makuuchi debut I don't know how to feel about anything anymore.

LOL

Goddamnit I want to listen to the low rank guys file in and out IT NEEDS TO START NOW, I NEED MY DARK SPIRITS DRIVEN AWAY

>>149749560
Its 7:45am in Japan right now. First matches should begin around 8:30am.

45 minutes.
Makuuchi is still like 8 hours off though.

>>149749560
>I NEED MY DARK SPIRITS DRIVEN AWAY
Abi terrorizes every basho, they need new exorcism tech.

>>149749619
YOU FUCKING RANG???

>>149749591
I usually turn it on the second a stream goes live and just let the sounds echo through the house until juryo, sometimes catching shit like dewanojo(?) fucking flattening someone with his girth or rolling the dice on that inevitable broken ankle

Daiesho out surprised me, how many guys will benefit from a free win they otherwise wouldn't get?

>>149748810
I blush when my studies get reposted, thanks anon
>>149748909
>Komisubi
I doubt it, this is the injury phase of the cycle. This time it's taking two basho

>>149748316
While I agree that guy's idea are shit, the photo he posted doesn't have fetish clothing; it's traditional bökh (Mongolian wrestling) attire.

>>149750740
How many normies like the audience that guy wants to cater to are going to recognize it as traditional attire and not fetish clothing?

Drop those kachi klash picks
Onosato (praying promotion hangover doesn’t hit)
Ohsoma (don’t know about this pick but I don’t expect anyone else at those ranks to put up 10+)
Hakuoho ( I feel like Dan will get tested no way her gets 11+ right?)
Takerufuji (self explanatory he’s not high so he should feast on scrubs)
Kusano (these hot shot prospects always put up 10+ from these ranks so I think he’s the safest bet for 10+)

>>149750740
>While I agree that guy's idea are shit, the photo he posted doesn't have fetish clothing; it's traditional Roman Grecco wrestling attire.

>>149750908
is it too late to do Kashi Klash? never checked it out

>>149748261
Gaga was a massive chad, he just went a bit too far for his own good in putting on weight. Nobody remembers him from his early days when he was fairly average looking or maybe only slightly on the fat side, everyone only remembers the 220kg version of him.
Heres a pic when he was only on his way to becoming a ridiculous caricature, but hadn't reach full fatso yet.
>“The obesity that men do lives after them, the skinniness is oft interred with their bones.”

>>149750945
You will want to get your picks in before top division starts

>>149744591
Harumafuji post retirement looks like a classy bastard.

>>149745606
I'm not saying betting on Takayasu would be the most free 2x on your money ever, but it's certainly better odds than roulette.

>Kirishima zensho coming up

The basho has begun!

Oh sweet, time to ruin my sleep schedule once more.

>First day
>Kikuchi 0-1
>Koga 0-1

Futabros...

>>149752383
I thought you already are with the Koshien prefecturals kek... guess that's why Nabatame has that "leg injury" so he can watch Nihon Koku Ishikawa lel.

>koga lost
>kikuchi lost
>umeyama lost
shunta won.
what a chad, this kid is gonna be in sandanme before he turns 16, doesn't seem unrealistic for him to work his way up to juryo before he turns 18.

Has it started yet and where can I watch it? I used to watch sumo religiously, but after NattoSumo kept getting nuked I fell off. With 2 yokozuna on the field + the first Japanese yokozuna in a long ass time, I want to get back into it. Also interested in mister Dan from Ukraine.

>>149752501
>doesn't seem unrealistic for him to work his way up to juryo before he turns 18.
You're retarded. Kid wheezes like a pack a day smoker. If he touches makushita within 5 years I'll eat my hat.

>>149752517
VPN + ABEMA

>>149752597
>VPN
I'm a luddite, guess I'm just gonna have to watch the highlights on Youtube or something.

>>149752517
I would link you the twitch stream I use but it got banned last time I did that. Sorry chief.

>>149752626
There are Twitch re-streamers if you can stand the faggotry. Check the OP.

>>149752517
>>149752626
>Some sumo links and how to watch live:
https://rentry.org/uwbgc88d

^^^This is from the OP top post of this thread. Has some good suggestions for starters.

Also Jewt00b is your friend. type in "Sumo Stream" or "Leo Dickinson Sumo" (Leo also has a twitch feed as well... better than the jewt00b one imo) into the search bar there and you should be set.

>>149752626
you can watch abema live on youtub

>>149752666
Whoops, I'm retarded and didn't see that. My bad. I'll check it out.
>666

>>149752626

all it takes

>>149752664
>Kongou is joining Leo tonight
Sounds intriguing...

But
>Have to endure Leo bitch about his kid's first birthday a week ago and his, which hasn't come by yet, is right around the corner.

>>149752738
That worked.

>>149752517
Top division isn't for another five and a half hours.

>>149752626
I usually watch karla_sumoist on Twitch. No ads, no commentary, no visual pollution/overlay and it streams low division all the way to makuuchi. It's good to have backup streams though, cus Abema shut these restreams down from time to time.

>>149752230
Holy based

I'm out of the loop, is there a Twitch ad blocker that actually fucking works?

call me a bad person, but i always laugh at dewanojo losing

>>149754163
You're a bad person.

>>149753947
I think 30s ad/hour is the lower amount of ads the streamers can set to their stream. Maybe that's the case for the channel I watch. Also, Alternate Player for Twitch is the only Twitch extension I use and it bypass the ads to some extent by lowering the resolution to 360p while the ad is happening in the background. Yeah it's not perfect, but it just werks.

do we have an updated power ranking chart

Winning was never the objective

Ikazuchido's put on a few kilo.

>>149751065
He looks great today after losing all that weight he piled on.

H-h-h-h-henka

>>149754598
Meanwhile Yamato looks even thinner

Yamato noooooo

>>149754685
It's tough to find food when you share a stable with Dewanojo.

A reed in the wind
Yamato falls, a stick too
thin, a graceful bend

Alright, before the big guy hit the dohyo, post your prediction

Onosato JY, gets punked by ABI, a random maegashira and 1-2 sanyaku
Y one of the sekiwakes.
Takayasu will start strong then crater

>>149754868
Kinbozan Y, Hoshoryu JY, Takayasu will start strong then crater

>>149754868
Onosato 10 wins, Hosh 12 JY and someone else takes the cup (my bet is on either kirishima or a maegashira)

>>149754868
>>149754937
>>149755006
Crackpipe predictions
At least be serious

>>149755450
anyone can say onosato yusho, it takes a real crackhead to predict a clown basho

>>149755450
>thinking Onosato will be good

>>149755539
Then predict by name and score instead of just saying "a maegashira"

Thats like saying a rikishi is going to win the yusho

>>149752914
The beard honestly looks good on him.

>>149755583
Atamifuji 13-2 Y, Kotozakura 8-7, Takayasu 9-6, Aonishiki 7-8

>>149755656
Now this is a prediction with some chest hair on it

>>149755583
my first prediction is kirishima, if not him then i dont know, just said maegashira to indicate total clown territory
>>149755656
tomato yusho would be a dream come true

Gotta love the top makushita bouts
They always go hard

sumo

What the fuck just happened to avoidingthehenka's channel?

>>149755791
Couldnt avoid the henka I guess

Gyokuzan got more tape than hands

>people in the crowd fanning themselves

Wasnt the whole point of this new arena the air conditioning?

>>149755912
I imagine it needed a new everything, irregardlessly of the air conditioning.

Asanoyama on his way back to the top division. Mudoho almost had him for a moment there though.

I figured out how to get Abema directly from the tap thanks to /sumo/'s instructions a few basho back, but I have a question: Can I get a higher quality stream if I actually subscribe to Abema? I'd gladly pay the 980 yen for premium if it means a higher quality stream, but I want to know beforehand.

>>149755996
irrespective, not irregardless

>>149756018
Incorrect.

>>149756034
You wish.

Mita-chan time

Nearly matta I thought
Good win though
Nice head bonk on the tachi ai

>>149754602
What the fuck

>that one girl in full kimono and makeup
I see you qt
Everyone else is dressed like shit lol

I'm going to fly to Japan, go to Abema HQ, run past security, bust down the door to the nicest looking office, and demand in broken Japanese that they print themselves free money by hiring a couple of gaijin to do English commentary and let other gaijin pay to watch it

>>149756169
How bout the one in the loli-style white dress in the eastern corner of the front row?

>>149756187
hell I'll do the commentary if they give me a konbini and hotel stipend

>>149756196
Dregs. Give her to Mitoryu.

>>149756187
The hero we deserve

Tochitaikai was my sleeper pick last basho and he failed utterly, a huge disappointment.

>>149756220
Dishonorable nodowa

Cant even remember the last time poor Shirokuma got a break

First double Yokozuna entry in 4 years

>>149756169
love to see it

>>149756246
I want to unwrap them like presents

>>149756187
I'd rather have NHK upgrade Grand Sumo Highlights.
Remove the Highlights from the title, make it the Grand Sumo Show.
Have the show be one hour, cover interesting Juryo and other lower division fights, keep some of the ceremonial stuff in,
Have a live show for one hour every other day.
I'd have no need to fuck around with streams and streamers anymore.
One can dream.

>>149756246
potato
potato

>>149756278
Realistically, NHK will never do it. Even though they have English coverage, they're so up their own ass in the stereotypical Japanese way that it's more likely that God reaches down and touches his finger to an Abema executive's forehead, giving him a divine moment of clarity where he realizes that gaijin want to watch sumo.

>>149756280
Boil em
Mash em
Stick em in a stew

>>149756246
i wonder if they are wearing underwear (traditionally you aren't supposed to with kimono)

Alright, here we go.

>>149756400
YOU DON'T LIVE IN JAPAN.

Am ready.

The evil spirits fear not the fraud Yokozuna.

Good intensity from Hosh in his dohyo iri
A far cry from his first attempts

But now the one we've been waiting for
O N O S A T O

>>149756419
th-thank you?

Signs of improvement.

Its ugly

Now THAT is a dohyō-iri. I can literally feel the evil spirits leaving with each stamp.

The evil spirits have been vanquished.
For today.

Less polish but more POWER

Thunderous claps and stomps
Love it
Takayasu and Takanosho are cooler than Hiradoumi and Meisei too

Did that guy scream
>日本強ぇぇ
? Is that what anyone else heard?

Awkward, halting, and stumbling are the words for Onosato's dohyoiri.

>>149756448
Yeah, and don't you fucking forget it, gaijin.

>>149756448
no fucking clue how that third one is pronounced

>>149756457
Pretty rich coming from danfag island

>>149756459
It's a slurring of "tsuyoi". You'd say it like tsoo-ehh.

Remember Onosato is just giving his trophy back for safekeeping. He'll get it back in 14 days.

Is it just me or has Onosato's face become more manly after he became Yokozuna?

>>149756479
He'll never see it again.

>Day 1
>Hiro

>>149756524
Even watching Abema is better than listening to Hiro Morita

>Day 1

>>149756485
The only way that happens is Hosh pulling a Tonya Harding

>>149756542
Hire Tobizaru to do it, you mean?

Good finish.

No monoii?

Shishi shouldn't have won that.

>knocking over the salt
inauspicious

uhhh

The clash of meatballs

>>149756585

Shishi got it clean. You're blind.

Good Sumo.

That reversal was fucking nuts.

no monoii?

>>149756606
>>149756596
Kotoeihou's right foot is not in contact with the ground; Shishi is completely outside of the ring and is tondeiru

Abema has some unusually bad camera positioning in this arena. They frequently have people walking in front of the camera during the bouts.

kusano kinboshi, could it happen

I fucking love Abema

Anyone who pays for this should stop paying for this

>>149756638
Nonsense.

I can see Kusano getting 11-4.

>>149756645
What part of it is nonsense? Have you never heard the phrase
>先に飛んでおり
in a monoii explanation?

Manlet on manlet violence

I love manlet on malnet violence

>>149756665
Just watch the match. He got it easy.

God bless Tokihayate for making it to Makuuchi and having some good 'shos, but I'm sensing a 4-11.

>>149756786
SHINGURUPACKUMINI

Now THAT looked like Takerufuji.

Takeru the midrank menace, just don't give him sanyaku fights

>>149756917
There's only really 4 guys in the Sanyaku right now anyway so if he can get a win or two off them he might be in contention. Zak and the Komusubi aren't up to it, and Daieisho is fucking dead.

>>149756929
Can't count up to 7, mate?

>>149756940
There are multiple reasons why you should delete this post.

>>149756946
Name 4

Good reversal from Tamawashi.

>>149756949
1) There are 8 Sanyaku, not 7
2) My point was that only 4 of them are good enough to be considered auto-losses for rikishi who can't beat Sanyaku
3) You're gay
4) You're American

>>149756958
I just wanna see Hiradoumi back in the Sanyaku, man.

>>149756958
Hiradoumi got it clean. You're blind.

>>149756971
Did you even see the replay in slow-motion?

>>149756981
Just watch the match. He got it easy.

>>149756964
Daieisho is out, that's 7. That may have been your point, but you said it like a fucking retard.

I do not like Kinbozan one bit.

And just like everyone predicted, Hakuoho is a repeat of Takerufuji last basho. He isn't joi level yet.

Of course

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Post it.

Which one of you fucks said yesterday that Abi was a complex fighter?

henka on 1st day, what an idiot

I want to like Tobizaru but ever since it came out that like 7 assistants have quit working with him I don't like him anymore. I just want goofy monkeyman, not dickhead monkey that struggles to KK.

EVIL SPIRITGODS, WE'RE SO BACK

11 wins to go (I think)

>>149757063
Yup, though there's a chance they'd give it to him on 10 more since we're short on Ozeki right now.

>>149757070
But is Waka really Ozeki material?

He's more consistant than kotozakura. He jsut has a few terrible matchup he really need to solve, like Abi.

>>149757081
>In Makuuchi 207-127-56/332 (27 basho), 1 Yusho, 3 Jun-Yusho, 6 Gino-Sho, 1 Shukun-Sho
Yes.

>>149757053
jii, not zawa

>>149757081
Since his return he's been fairly dominant, and he has a yusho under his belt. I'd say he's a reasonable Ozeki. Better than Zak at least.

Kirishima Ozeki soon!

Kiri and WTK looking a cut above right now.

>>149757093
Abi, the eternal terrible matchup. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. There only to cause strife and chaos. Abi knows to live is to suffer and he ensures suffering is occurring.
There was not enough salt. The shiko were too weak. Abi prevails.

Oh shit, ACK is back on the green mawashi.

>why am I here

OH GOD

OH FUCKING GOD

OH GOD OH FUCK

Well, the green mawashi didn't help.

based and etcpilled

That's his third uchimuso. Really solid match too, I was a bit worried that it was going to slow down in Kotozakura's favour but the right-angle hold was strong enough.

if double yokozuna win, this tournament will be blessed

No chance

Hmm... Kitanoumi vibes. I don't care for it.

Already doing better than Horseshitryu

Holy fuck. Powerful.
You could hear the body slap at the tachi-ai.

Solid win.

Good Sumo this day 1.
Lets hope this doesn't turn into a clown basho half way through.

I'm heading to bed and hopefully I sleep for +12 hours, cus I can't fucking wait for this bout.

Does Natto still have his own website? anyone got the link and password?

Got back from Japan a few days ago.
Massive sad I couldn't stay for the tournament. But at least I got some sort of sumo.

>>149757483
The memory that sticks out most to me is when I was on a cruise and went to the buffet. The moment food was placed into the trays they scurried over like insects and took more food than they could ever eat all while pushing and shoving everyone including young girls. Watching them finish eating and leave with near full plates of food left on their tables made me seethe.
Multiple other offenses ive seen too like butting in line, touching art in museums, and jumping over guard rails/fences in botanical gardens to get better pictures. Very rude and self centred people. Please keep sending young chinese women to our colleges though <3.

>>149757963

I haven't paid a cent for anything, last I looked the only service I could find that streamed grand sumo live in america was strictly NHK and it was 28 dollars a month including taxes

>>149757963
>financially supporting the lifestyle
>unemployed
Anon, these two statements are incompatible. Restreaming sumo is, at the very least, a side job, and if it allows him to commission more furry porn then he is working for pay and thus employed.

You guys seem pretty angry today, and this isn't an dignified conduct to have in this blessed territory. That must be the work of evil spirits. Allow me to purify the sacred dohyo.

The American stereotype that I remember being completely accurate is Americans saying what city, and state they are from. Every other foreigner said the country they came from.
One was loud as fuck telling his stories in the cafe. Everyone in the building got to listen to this dude talking about how he got on the wrong shinkansen, and how noone in the history of the world has ever made that mistake before.

Americans I did hardly see, and not outside of Tokyo. other ones I met were decent.

Brits were fucking eeeverywhere tho. Damn near every white person I saw was British. I know it's a bit ridiculous to blame foreigners for not understanding customs, and Japan isn't some mystical place where everything is perfect, but fuck it seemed like any time someone wasn't respecting the norms, or even trying to respect the status quo it was a white Brit.
Loud. Wearing shoes indoors. Singing in public. etc.

Chinese, and jungle asians were really only annoying due to the volume, and their language grating on the ears.

Which honestly is probably why Brits(Murricans to a point) are annoying. Purely volume, and just sticking out due to look, and nature. Not like they were truly disruptive. Just gay tourist types.

No yokozuna.

So I'm getting back into sumo after not watching it for years
>hoshoryu made it to yokozuna
nice, amazing. I don't think he'll be the type of yokozuna to win lots of bashos, but from what i remember he was always a good fighter and entertaining to watch. Onosato is a surprise and I'm glad we got a strong japanese yoko after fucking decades

More importantly, so sad to see NattoSumo is dead, I followed the links in the OP but I really can't find a way to watch today's first day of the nagoya basho, any help?

>>149758677
I watch midnightsumo on twitch, I really miss when he didn't talk at all, but ofc twitch had to force him to keep talking nonstop.

>>149758713

That obviously broke the tos because he was just uploading NHK content as his own without adding anything

You're right about the Americans. I was at the May basho and a group of them from Atlanta were trying to stop locals outside the Kokugikan while the locals were excitedly waiting with cameras out to take photos and cheer on their favourite rikishi entering the arena. Just distracting them, laughing at their gay american jokes, being loud as fuck, and trying to get content for their youtube channel. God I fucking hated them. The trip was perfect beside that memory. Luckily I didn't bump into a lot of other tourists though.

wtf is this

>>149764604
A screenshot of Zak's last 3 tournament results from the NSK website

Had to leave for work before the Yokozuna bouts, god damn what an excellent day of sumo all round. Everyone that was expected to win got their wins, both Yokozuna looked incredible, and Aonishiki is still winning somehow. The spread of kimarite on day one is fucking hilarious.

Onosato is going to break Aonishiki in half tomorrow though. He's even gonna go in pre-bent over for him.

>>149764521
It's been really sad to see him tailspin after looking incredible in November. Only fortune kept him from falling out of Ozeki in March. He looked terrible and got bailed out then, and May wasn't much of an improvement.

>>149764752
>Onosato is going to break Aonishiki in half tomorrow though

>>149765127
I'd be surprised if Aonishiki lasts five seconds. AT the tachi-ai today, Oshoma - four inches taller and thirty kilos heavier than Aonishiki - effectively bounced off Onosato. I don't think Onosato himself was expecting it.

>>149765319
Either the same thing is going to happen, or Aonishiki will go in ultra low and find the belt and then maybe he'll have an outside shot of pulling off a weird throw or trip. I'd still say Onosato is much more likely to calmy walk him out even if he does get the belt.

>>149765425
Going in ultra low seems suicidal to me. Has anyone tried grappling Onosato from the side and trying to spin him around? It's a total clown technique usually only seen when a twig in Jonidan meets a superheavy, but it just might work if executed correctly. You'd only get one chance to get the right positioning, but you only get one chance against Onosato anyway.

>>149764557
wtf is this

>>149765548

>>149765548
Onosato is surprisingly agile for being a massive motherfucker, so going around is probably a wash too.

bros after watching that guy fucking bounce off of Onosato I think the only people that can realistically beat this guy are those who can outmaneuver and throw him, which at this point is pretty much just Hoshoryu. Who the hell is gonna survive this guy's charge and force out?

>>149766217
Your choices are henka or be Hoshoryu. Everything else has a 10% chance of working at best. Also henkas don't work against him.

>>149766252
Has anyone tested his chin?

Onosato-Aonishiki is the title match, whoever takes it will yusho.
Crazy to have it happen on day 2, but thats what you get when the two contenders are a 'zuna & an m1. When Onosato won his first he clinched it by beating Teru on day 1

>>149766331
Ura kicked him in the head back in March if that counts.

>>149766331
>Hakuho leaves

>>149766252
WTK beat him twice, then got made to look like a chump twice by him, then narrowly lost to him in May. I'D put him down as a 20-25% if everyone else besides Hoshoryu is a 5-10%.

>>149778716
>big win
>beating Kotozakura
whatever you need to tell yourself

>>149778844
Reminder that since winning in November, Zak's overall winrate is 45.6%. To put this into perspective, that comes out at 6.84 wins per basho. He's hanging onto Ozeki by the skin of his fucking teeth. Kadoban this basho is a certainty. Honestly he should just kyujo and spend this time recovering.

wtf happened to karla?

>>149778844
you seem to be irritated by the fact that dan beat an ozeki and wish to minimize the win, but beating ozekis & yokozunæ are the main criterion for the shukun-sho, so its a big win regardless your dissatisfaction.

Day one is complete,
The strong have begun to rise,
Zak is fucking dead.

The Jap press is making a big deal about which 'zuna will be the first to yusho, imagine the fallout if Dan starts taking all the cups and shutting out both the top dogs from their dishes.

>>149779040
It's expected that Onosato will yusho before Hoshoryu. Onosato has won 4 of the last 9, while Hoshoryu has only won 2 of the last 12. The hope is that the blood of Uncle is rising in Hoshoryu and we can bear witness to glorious violence once again.

Last thing Onosato sees tonight

When I think about Aonishiki as a wrestler, I think he's pretty entertaining and has good matches, but he's been entirely spoiled in my mind by this dumbass "Dan" poster in these threads. Now I usually think about it would be funny if he lost.

I am going to dine out on Onosato crushing this ukrainian retard for months

>>149778904
Kotogoeido

>>149779160
Aonishiki has shown himself to be weak against the Sanyaku. Beating Zak doesn't mean much because of how bad Zak has been since November. Tomorrow we get to see what this Hohol is truly made of.

>>149779061
>Onosato has won 4 of the last 9
4 of the last 7.
If you want to compare the entirety of their makuuchi careers then Onosato has won 4 of the last 9 and Horseryu 2 of the last 30.
Onosato also has more sansho prizes than Horseryu despite far fewer chances as well as more victories over yokozunas, something Horseryu has never achieved despite having had many more chances.

>>149779209
Goeido was a far better Ozeki than Zak. Did you know that Zak actually won the award for most wins of any rikishi in 2024, beating out Onosato? Of course you don't, why would you?

>>149779221
I thought of 9 because that's how long he's been in Makuuchi but yeah, you're right, it's 4 out of 7. God what a fucking ridiculous rikishi. It took Hakuho 13 basho in the top division to win his first Makuuchi yusho. We're in for an excellent decade of sumo with Onosato and Hoshoryu trying to out do and kill each other.

>>149779221
I'll say it again for the stupid people and the deaf people, Onosato is just Akebono who joined the Association at 23.
>wow omg this new guy must be the greatest rikishi of all time, he just started and is already winning da yusho1!
He's not that great.

>>149779303
Wow that's weird, your image JUST cuts off the point at which he got injured.

>>149779242
>Goeido was a far better Ozeki than Zak
Zak currently has the same number of double digit scores as an ozeki as Goeido did in his first four years as an ozeki. Zak's current three basho form was Goeido's normal.

>>149779471
I await Zak's 15-0.

>>149779303
You don't need to be a fan of every wrestler

>>149780257
I dont think anyone expects all that much from young chad
Musashimaru doesnt seem that great at training sadly

>>149780273
Either he isn't good at training or his recruiting can't get him anyone trainable, either way he has been at it a long time with very little success. I guess his stable is just going to cease to be when he turns 65, its pretty much too late for him to recruit anyone who could make it to the top ranks and retire before he turns 65 himself. That shouldn't help his ability to recruit talent.

There are always a surplus of guys looking for elder stock compared to available spots. If he can't get one of his disciples to take it, he'll either give it to a friend or sell it under the table.

On the training front, it makes sense that Musashimaru wouldn't have much insight to give people considering he's a humongous fucker that did humongous fucker things. When his strategy was "be absolutely ginormous and overpower people using my absurd size" he likely doesn't have much to teach people who aren't also humongous fuckers.

And on the recruiting front he didn't go to school in Japan and is probably completely in the dark about how to find talent before the other stables snap it up and apparently he never thought up Hakuho's idea of starting his own tournament to get the talent to come to him.

I still think he should target high school and university football players and play up how the Hawaiian yokozuna did football and how it helped them with sumo (even if Akebono did baseball instead of football and Musashimaru himself did greco-roman in addition to football). Try and recruit the linemen who have no future in pro football and try to convince them they can use their linemen skills to get a quick rise.

what the fuck are the rest of these goobers even doing

Nagoya has been culturally enriched. For unknown reason thats where all the Brazilian immigrants want to live.

It's also worth considering the possibility that raising sekitori is not his priority. Every oyakata has different motivations and expectations. Maybe Musashimaru just wants to chill.

>>149780770
They are the machine within which the top division wrestlers are formed

>>149780860
He does look extremely chill every time I've seen him in youtube videos

>>149780770
There's plenty of wrestlers that grind away in makushita for ages and then suddenly break through and have a decent career in the top division. Notably Takanosho, Wakamotoharu and Sadanoumi spent multiple years in makushita and the first two made sekiwake after that.

Man, Koto looks decent without his extra set of titties.
You think he cleans the creases between his tits thoroughly?
