>>149781450
There was a point where people thought he was going to be a serious prospect in the top division, then that shifted to "well he's just a late bloomer" to him struggling in the joi right now at 29 years old.

Sumo

Scrap Nagoya Basho so everyone takes summer off and rests up. Speed up the timetable so all 6 grand tourneys are between September - end of May with a mini 1 month break over winter. Tourney's become 10 matches instead of 15 which reduced banzuke shenanigans and reduces impact of injury. Only 1 yokozuna allowed, and stop promoting Ozeki-tier kadoban chimps to Y because there's a power vacuum. Did JSA learn nothing from Kisenosato? And finally, let the people throw the zabuton you no-fun fucks.

>>149781661
>Only 1 yokozuna allowed
Are you fucking retarded?

>>149781661
I was there in May when Kirishima beat nephew and got to watch the zabutons fly in person, it was beautiful. I hope I get to see sumo live again in Japan

Abi has lost a great sum of his power now that Onosato is vanquishing the evil spirits.

>>149782347

nice job wakamotoharu, deserved.

>>149782423
aahahahahaahaha I fucking did it

HORSESHITRYU RETURNS

KINBOSHI STATUS?
D I S P E N S E D

I always get nervous leading up to Hoshoryu fighting. I get nervous cuz there's a possibility he'll lose. I don't get like that with Onosato.

What a clumsy tachi-ai, that basically cost him the match.

Glorified kinboshi dispenser. Now let's see the real Yokozuna fight.

KINBOSHIE !!! FREE KINBOSHIE!!!

>>149782323
Cyka blyat! My boy Amuru dindu nuffin!

Why’d they promote this nigga again

I was so focused on Dan vs Ono. This is very unexpected.

HOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Man fuck Hoshoryu. Got into sumo around the time he became Yokozuna. His story was cool. But this is fucking disappointing. Losing within the first 5 days in three consecutive tournaments as a Yokozuna? Pathetic.

Danbros... Its our time to shine...?

I hate some of the Aonishiki dick riding here, but when Aonishiki goes up against Hoshoryu I'm hopping on as well.

TOTAL DOMINATION

As expected

That's how it's done.

Christ.

Kitanoumi 2.0. Sumo is dead. Fuck Onosato.

The inevitable result.
An Onosato victory.

Lmfao that was like an adult vs a child

Well, that's Day 2!

OBLITERATED

Welp, looks like a 3 in a row for now

Yokozuna sumo.

Hosh might have a positive record against Onosato, but Onosato is so much stronger against the field than him.

I fucking hate Onosato.

>huge guy that is insanely quick and athletic for his size
>has a rudimentary skillet but dominates his opponents mostly due to his size and athleticism
Is this what people felt watching Shaq in the early 00's?

Now the question is, if Aonishki makes Hosh print tomorrow, will /sumo/ be angry or happy about it?

>Hoshoryu reported a toe injury a week or so before the basho
Well, looks like we'll be seeing him pull out in a few days because his "injury" will aggregate again.

>>149782539
I enjoy the spectacle of watching kinboshi occur and while I think hosh is a cool guy and I like watching him win, I would rather watch him dole out the kinboshi than see onosato do it.

>>149782539
I'll happily join the circle jerk if that happens. If not I'll just do it on my own.

Dan is eating another loss tomorrow, but I think he will slowly recover after they stop throwing sanyaku at him.

>>149782528
As someone said last basho, I think Hoshoryu overlooks anyone who's not sanyaku. That's the only explanation that makes sense. That or he's a fraud.

>>149782375
Looks like. Both would-be ozeki looking really solid.

>>149782443
Just the fundamentals done right. Nice to see, but is kinda devalued by Hosh's kinboshi count.

>>149782506
God, I wish. He has the power, but not the technique and definitely not the confidence/hatefulness/aura (whatever you wanna call it).

That said, if time is indeed a flat circle, there might be a new Chiyonofuji grinding away in sandanme or makushita. That I'd like to see.

>>149782568
>Dan is eating another loss tomorrow
[X] Doubt

Man, that was good sumo today.

>>149782539
>if Aonishki makes Hosh print tomorrow
Would be kino

https://sumo.tokon-stream.com/
Uh? I don't remember it being a thing.

Hey guys I just got here when's the last fight? I can't wait to see how Aonishiki's scrappy, right angle style matches up with Onosato!

he never had the makings of a makuuchi athlete

>>149782568
another basho, another 11-4 run with a fighting spirit award

>>149783076
I don't know what the plan was here

>>149783111
I think he tried to go in low as usual but didn't know just how hard Onosato was going to hit him.

Clearly someone forgot to tell Wakamotoharu just how hard Hoshoryu trained. And that he was scowling at him.

>>149782449
I feel the same way when WTK steps up because he's my guy and I want him to succeed, but he's always significantly lighter and a good bit shorter than the other high level opposition. I hope he can keep pulling it off though, today was a vintage wakataka flip.

>>149783076
It's actually impressive how dominating Onosato is here. Dan had no chance in hell.

>>149783076
>>149783111
titty lift is overpowered

>>149783111
It played out exactly how I expected it would look in my head if Aonishiki tried to run forward and grab the belt like he always does. Onosato lifts the shoulder and routinely thrusts him back and out.

>>149783452
He should have gone for the chin.

>>149783528
Onosato is immune to the henka now.

>>149783528
He had to try something to work his way in other than bouncing off the biggest mountain in sumo.

DO THEY CALL HIM GOLDEN BOY BECAUSE HE'S GIVING OUT GOLD STARS LIKE IT'S HIS JOB WHILE GETTING TOSSED AROUND LIKE A BOY

do most sumo wrestlers slim down considerably once they're no longer actice or reach old age? or do they stay chubby all their lives?

>>149783886
Upon retiring, most grow so massive that they exhaust their fuel sources and implode like stars and die at 40

>>149783886
No. Most of them have spent their entire adult lives in and around sumo stables, eating vast amounts of food every day. When they retire and stop training, a lot of them fail to stop eating. Dramatic transformations like that of the former Takakeisho are uncommon - maybe 25% of retirees. Most of them stay fat and die relatively young.

>>149782592
>That said, if time is indeed a flat circle, there might be a new Chiyonofuji grinding away in sandanme or makushita. That I'd like to see.
When Onosato retires new Hakuho will be born somewhere in Mongolia

>>149784150
The Mongol Era is over, just as the Hawaiian Epoch ended before it. It's time for a new minor subgroup of Asians to have their day in the limelight. My money is on Siberian reindeer herders.

>>149784187
>a new minor subgroup of Asians
So Ukrainians again?

>>149784206
I begrudgingly accept Ukrainians as (Eastern) Europeans rather than Asians. I'll maintain an exception for any man who can prove he's actually a formerly exiled Tatar.

>>149784206
Taiho was the Ukraine era

>>149784295
Hafus don't count toward foreigner restrictions, so they can't count towards foreign eras. It's only fair.

>>149783076
The Lion was thinking that he could bring down an demonic descendant of Amaterasu in the sacred Dohyo... There is a reason why evil spirits fear the demon...

>>149784187
The next era will be INDIAN

>>149784669
The impetus to stay in the ring will never be greater than when every day starts with a designated shitting ceremony off the edge of the dohyo into the first row seating

>>149784669
Komusubi Kusomuso with his special technique; Jet Fart Curry Rocket! Even if the original thrust misses, the smell would be enough to make everyone passes out! Nurgle would be pleased!

>>149784669
You jest, but Indians are taking more and more notice of Japan and its opportunities, while also having their own ancient wrestling tradition. Be careful what you wish for, even if it's a joke.

>>149784669
consider the stench

I like the idea of an Indian making it to Yokozuna purely because his opponemts all pull out rather than fight him and face the stench

>>149783111
Onosato watched how Kinbo beats him and said "OK, I'll do that, but better".

>>149782539
Hoshboshis always make me happy.

>>149784230
Virtually all of Tatarstan is in Russian flagged regions south or east of the borders of statutory Ukraine. Crimean Khanate descendants are western Rogas, not azn Shishis.

>>149781418 (OP)
how was day 2 my fellow sumo fans

>>149786954
My point was that Tatars of all stripes are Asian Turco-Mongols, not European Slavs.

>>149787026
Mostly expected, non-clown results with one notable exception

>>149787033
It's all golden horde to me

>>149787026
Wakamotoharu says Kirishima>Hoshoryu. Kisenosato says Kotozakura is so boring that he put him to sleep.

>>149783076
Onosato is gonna ruin sumo for at least the next 5 years. Big, strong and agile, freak of nature.

>>149783076
Danfags been real quiet since last night lmao

>>149787687
How exactly is he going to "ruin Sumo"?

>>149787771
Perhaps he meant ruin more in the sense of "devastate" or "dominate"

>>149787771
Some people think that the only interesting aspect of a basho is the yusho race. If there's a strong favourite to win, a lot of the speculation is gone and the basho only "becomes good" when that favourite stumbles, and the race opens up.

Hoshoryu, over or under 10.5 wins this basho?

>>149787849
11.

How many kinboshi has Hosh given out so far anyway?

>>149787881
Six

>>149787881
6 in 19 fights against Maegashira.

>>149787899
Quite a bit in such a short time.

>>149787909
I wonder how the JSA feels about this.

Hoshoryu needs to hop on the roids ASAP, his slow physique buildup was the correct move when he had the time to do it, but now that he's a yokozuna he needs to start packing on the power as fast as he can or he's gonna get forced into an early retirement.

>>149787935
>implying they aren't all on roids already

>>149784654
>demonic
>descendant of amaterasu
Are you retarded or a Christfag? Wait, that's a redundant question.

>>149787771
Ruin In the sense that I'll be shocked if his resumée doesnt look like this by 2030. I find this kind of dominace boring desu

>>149787925
Kinboshi are decent enough for a maegashira's personal earnings, but don't add up to that much for the JSA's total expenditures.

>>149787935
Anon, look at Hoshoryu in 2020 and look at Hoshoryu in 2025. If you think that sort of progress is natural then I have a bridge to sell you.

>>149787971
Imagine if we had /sumo/ back then and it was 1979
>lmao what a fucking jobber, lost on the opening match
>haha fucking fraudzuna, lost 3 in a row, retirement announcement in a week

>>149787988
Don't be silly anon tons of people get progress like that, they're all over Instagram.

>>149787988
I said hop on the roids, I did not say his progress was natural. If he's on roids, he should get on more roids and do even more strength training and eat more. He needs more power.

>>149787971
>He was only 180cm and 160kg
>Meanwhile Onosato is 194cm and 190kg
Ozumo is so fucked lmao.

>>149787748
Did you finally take your medication and the voices went away?

>>149788010
Hoshoryu's already blasting as much as he can. He was always more lightly built than his uncle and had to grind hard just to get to the same fighting weight. Even then, he still looked far less thick and solid and had to go even further. If he puts on much more muscle he's going to be completely useless. Should have stayed much lighter.

>>149788138
Hey man, what would you do if a fat man walked up to you and grabbed your tits?

Finally watched day 2, happy for my lad Ura with the clutch win
Onosato pushed Aonishiki so hard I thought he was gonna be catapulted out of the dohyo
Hoshoryu having trouble and losing against WMH who's still not back in his top form was surprising

>>149788161
I would avert my eyes out of abject fear and humility

>>149788161
Perhaps he would accept a deep bow as a sign of my submission

>>149788192
The size difference is just ridiculous. Wild to think that Akebono would have dwarfed Onosato in the same way.

>>149788206
He's a big guy

>>149788240
For you.

bros i miss hakuho

>>149788498
Me too
Its still hard to believe he really quit

>>149788498
Well, I'm still waiting to see what his Sumo™(not Ozumo) project looks like.

>>149788479
Shiganosuke Nephilim confirmed?

>>149788573
Nonsense. That's just what sumo wrestlers looked like before they started eating Western slop.

>>149788479
Me on the left.

How many golden stars tommorow?

>>149788769
WMH beat Onosato in his zuna run back in March, so I'd only give Onosato a 70% chance of winning that one. WMH is such a weird fighter, he doesn't really seem to specialise in anything but gets wins by just being big and not bad.

I genuinely do not want to call Nephew v Dan. He doesn't have the size to do what Onosato did today, and Aonishiki is such a dogged technical fighter that I really wouldn't be surprised if Aonishiki found a way. Sotogake shouldn't work because Aonishiki is already mindful of it after day one. God that was such a good sotogake.

>>149788797
Motoharu is one of the best yotsu fighters around.

>>149788976
His March win against 'sato was oshidashi.

If Wakataka can somehow overcome the demon of chaos ABI I'll believe in his chances of making ozeki. ABI henka'd day one and looked utterly strange against Kirishima, so I have no read on his form this basho.

>>149789052
That sounds like Abi alright

>>149787112
That was mainly in whats now Kinbozanistan

>>149789286
As far as I'm concerned, it's the slitty eyes that matter the most. If you don't have those, can you really call yourself an Asian?

>>149789326
Can you imagine if Atamifuji or Shirokuma got that South Korean cosmetic surgery where they remove a piece of your eyelids so you can open your eyes fully?

>>149787748
The Kinbozan model of how to beat Dan is the only proven effective technique, keep him at arms length and get him out as quickly as possible before he has a chance to react, but you have to be a 190cm+ oshi pro to pull it off. It remains to be seen in Dan or Aminishiki can think up an effective counter.
Abi, Tamawashi, Oshoma & Kinbozan himself all remain on Dan's schedule, possibly Daieisho too if he makes an appearance.

>>149789374
Daieisho isn't dumb enough to show up with an injury, and he's in good favour with Hakkaku so I can't see him dropping below M5e and remaining in the joi come September.

Wonder what's going through Aminishiki's head right now.

>>149789369
Even Korean flesh-shapers couldn't get those eyes open.

>>149789400
Daieisho with an 0-15 followed by landing outside the joi and winning a cup farming mid maegashira seems like a fairly realistic potential plot.

I will watch the Sumo with you lads now.
How is my boy Asashoryu doing, is he still sumoing? :)

>>149789741
His nephew is a questionable Yokozuna. Asa himself is living his best life.

>>149789741

>>149787965
This is called 2nd degree humor, you dimwit. Please leave this sacred place on the shortest delays possible, because the sheer idiocy of your person, probably mental illness or untold childhood accident, diminishes the collective intelligence and civility among /sumo/.

I really enjoyed seeing WakamotoCHADu's clever cerebral manipulation of umanokusoryu yesterday.
Grabbing for a belt grip he knew he couldn't get in order to make the frightened dummy dance.

>>149790164
I should rewatch that one

>>149790164
It's an interesting fight. You can see Hoshoryu attempting some throws but I wonder that was his plan from the beginning and at that point he just tried to stick with it or maybe some kind of panic reaction to the slapdown attempt. Clearly it didn't work too well.

>>149790337
Thank you chap

>>149790337
Funny match. The very near slapdown caught me off guard and I thought Hosho was about to eat dirt quickly again. Then he held on and locked up and I thought Wakamoto was done with right arm out of the picture. Then I was wrong again and Wakamoto shoved him out.

>>149790522
but why

>>149790596
Being that shape is a disability.

>>149790596
Sitting down like that makes sense when your arms are so short compared to your massive rotund body and you have a bad neck. The real question is how does he get back up.

>>149790596
hambaga

>>149790337
Hoshoryu had him for a while but at 0:26 seems like he tried to go for a throw and got fucked.
>>149790522
for me it's 0:08

Abi < WTK
Oho < Kirishima
Kotozakura => Takayasu
WMH << Onosato
Hoshoryu => Aonishiki
Last match feels like the onus is on Hoshoryu to not fuck up like in the WMH match.

>>149790671
Hoshoryu be like
>omg i need to win im a yokozuna!!!
Onosato be like
>why the fuck would i lose lmao im a yokozuna

>>149790693
Onosato wrestles like the biggest kid in the middle school championships. God save us all if he actually learns some technique.

>>149790731
Techniques? Like what? So far he doesn't need any new techniques. I'm sure K*senosato is keeping an eye on him, don't worry.

>>149790731
His technique was great in the Aonishiki match. Onosato leverged him upright then tsupari'd until he was out. There's nothing to improve on when he can do that in 14/15 matches.

>>149790805
>technique

I like Aonishiki more than his fat-titted countryman but I'm glad this slav got humbled by superior strength

>>149790693
>Wait a minute, I'm yokozuna
https://youtu.be/XJ5Ha6l6lhE

>>149790731
Being much stronger than everyone else is a technique.
Trying to win via trickery is a cope for having not done the much more difficult job of spending a lifetime of molding yourself into being the biggest, strongest guy.

>>149790824
If you watched boxing would you say punching isnt a technique? You just want to be shitty but lack the intellect to actually critique sensibly

Onosato is lacking in belt fighting, but when it comes to just shoving a cunt he's #1 right now. Daieisho wishes he could.

>>149790910
If it can't be learned and taught, it isn't a technique. Onosato is blessed by the sumo gods, to such an extent he's made it to yokozuna by brute strength and fundamentals.
>>149790927
You've got to be trolling, but on the off-chance that you're just thick - if you watched boxing would you say that throwing random haymakers is a technique?

>>149791001
>would you say that throwing random haymakers is a technique?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donovan_Ruddock

>>149790664
>at 0:26 seems like he tried to go for a throw and got fucked.
He was trying to slip his right inside.

>>149791001
The fact that you think it's random is why you're an idiot. These men are the best in the world at what they do. Random. I suppose you think Ronaldo just runs up and kicks the ball and it just, like, goes in the goal? Is that what's going on in your tiny little brain?

>>149791075
All the technique in the world would not have put him where he is now if he had been 10cm shorter. Being big isn't a technique. It's a rocket propelled crutch.

>>149791075
If you think Onosato is a technical wrestler then there's no hope for you.

>>149791132
Knowing that Onosato blocks your left arm is like knowing that Teru clamps you. Or knowing that someone is going to shoot you. IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOU'RE DEAD ANYWAY.

The desperate cope of assblasted danfags lmao

>>149791132
Being able to use one's arms is not the qualification for being "technical". It's expected of all rikishi worth half a damn. I'll concede the point to you if Onosato does an amiuchi tomorrow.

>>149791182
Amiuchi is just a shitty katasukashi.

why the fuck would onosato do anything other than yorikiri when there's a grand total of like 1 guy that can stop him from doing it

the guy who won 3 technique prizes out of 5 eligible tournaments has no technique.

>>149791243
Thanks for admitting that you've not only missed the point, but gone in the complete opposite direction of the point.

>>149791243
Because me, a fan from the other side of the world who doesn't pay a single dime to watch him fight, want him to be some sort of Ura on even more steroids

>>149791255
The seething that Onosato causes is incredible. He wins and is Japanese, the fuck do you want?

>>149791243
He didn't do it last night, so you tell me.
>>149791273
For him to stop for a bit.

>>149791255
Do you know the criteria for awarding the gino-sho?

>>149791286
>He didn't do it last night, so you tell me.
Whoops, he did oshidashi, a huge difference my bad bro

If Aonishiki couldnt even put up a fight with all his zesty little "techniques", then what good are they, exactly?

>>149791273
I think Hakuho spoiled us all. Hakuho was a consummate master at every form and strategy of sumo, and so even when you knew he was going to win most or all of his bouts, you still wondered just how he was going to pull it off against the highly skilled and diverse set of opponents he was up against. You don't get that with Big O. He's just going to show up and shove the other guy out.

>>149791342
Gives him free wins against non-Onosato opponents?

>>149791293
Do you?

>>149791389
Yes. We might as well skip the explanations and you can just tell us why your interpretation is the only one that makes sense.

>>149791161
>>149791182
You both missed the point of the picture.
That was also my first post in the thread.

>>149791463
>But he's predictable!
Being predictable doesn't mean you can magically beat them.

>>149791001
height and strength are not things people get by random luck. height requires a lifetime of good nutritional habits and exercise starting from early childhood. a lot of the manlets out there ended up as shorties because instead of eating properly when they were children they chose to have power struggles with their mother and father to see if they could eat only candy and ice cream instead of healthy food. onosato didn't, he chose to do what was best for him instead.
DNA doesn't determine your height, it determines your potential. Takakeisho ended up shorter than his father because it was only later in life that he learned that you gotta eat big to get big.
People talk a lot about phenotype when discussing genetics, but the term "chemovar" rarely pops up. Chemovar refers to the specific expression of a DNA given specific outside inputs. Take two seeds from the same tree and grow one in perfect conditions (the Onosato tree) and you'll get a better result than the one that didn't get watered enough and was in partial shade (the Takakeisho tree).
Here is a pic of identical twins to illustrate the point, the both have the same genes, but its not hard to tell which one put more effort into leading a healthy life.

>>149791521
>height requires a lifetime of good nutritional habits and exercise
Nonsense. I have never willingly eaten green vegetables, and I'm 6'3 with heavy limbs and a deep chest.

>>149791580
>I have never willingly eaten green vegetables,
red, orange, purple and yellow vegetables are often just as healthy as the green ones.

>>149791620
I don't think I've ever actually seen a purple vegetable.

>>149791652
Aubergine you fucking inbred.

>>149791656
I know what an aubergine is. I've just never seen one, because as I pointed out, I don't eat vegetables.

>>149791474
The entire point of posting that image was to emphasis he does his form of sumo extremely well, and only that.
This is in context of the "technique" talk, but you can only see everything as an argument with someone seething.

>>149791661
At least you're not denying being inbred.

>>149791667
I'll tell Uncle Grandpa on you, if you're not careful!

>>149791684
Is he gonna aggressively post on twitter?

>>149791652
there's quite a few varieties other than eggplant

>>149791835
Don't forget that the head of my cock in his mouth is purple.

>>149791851
He said he doesnt eat vegetables

>>149791947
My dick is straight up four inches of meat.

>>149791580
>vegetables
vegetables being healthy is just a meme, they are 90% water and the remaining 10% is nearly all indigestible fiber and sugar/starch. not eating and focusing on better food instead is probably why you're tall.

>>149792017
Vegetables plus meat is the healthiest diet you can eat.

>>149791952
I'm 5.5 inches, 6 if I push my base in

There is a brit on both sides of this debate and they are both making retarded arguments. It’s time to filter out this flag.

>>149791952
>>149792123
my dick is 5 inches but the guy i suck off regularly has a 6.5 incher

>>149781954
Wasn't he the one who got wrist slapped for his horrible twerking?

>>149792349
yes the shishi ass bounce was carrying him that whole basho and since he doesn't do it anymore he has been slapped the fuck down constantly. Lost his mojo.

>>149793066
>>149792349
did he actually get in trouble for that lmao

>>149793158
In the thread around the time I remember someone posting that both he and Aonishiki got a talking to for the way they were acting before tachiai but I don't have any solid sources. I also don't recall Aonishiki doing anything as weird as Shishi's ass bounce. The grand sumo highlights guy even kept giggling about it and saying "no idea what that's about." on the recording so it was pretty funny.

>>149793066
shishi would be yokozuna right now or at least ozeki if the racist elements in the jsa didn't make the key to his success illegal.
the twerking tachiai could've revolutionized sumo too. instead of telling him knock it off they should've given him a gino-sho for his brilliant inventiveness

aonishiki kinboshi delivery occurs tonight

>>149793196
it's called "plyometric loading", he is a science rikishi

Shishi can't even speak Japanese, the guy is genuinely a giant bumbling child

Ryuden did the twerk tachiai and got told to stop doing it years ago.
It comes back every few years.

>>149781927
Everyone report MIDnight sumo

NHK's Aonishiki documentary is up

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/3025221/

The highlight for me was seeing Meisei's chagrin at having snatched defeat from the jaws of victory followed by the slow-mo closeup replay of his display of frustration, but seeing stuff like the training footage was pretty good too. Really make you wonder if somewhere back down the line Meisei did something to get on the wrong side of NHK's documentarians.
5/5 high quality entertainment.

what the fuck I didn't realize Dan was only 21

>>149794501
Weird age related realization I had recently, Tomokaze is only 30, dude looks 40.

>beansprout rikishi didn't bow and the ref had to get the guy leaving to come back so they could both bow
uh oh someone's getting a talking to

>>149794018
Thanks, my son loves him, he'll dig this

>>149794501
His birthday was senshuraku of the Osaka 'sho back in March.

What a rough basho for Dewanojo so far, he hasn't stopped anyone with his sheer mass.

>>149795395
He needs to lose 150kg

That was a high energy fight

I love makushita
Its so scrappy

Wakamiyabi needs to bulk up considerably

He looks like a gyotoku

I favor Kurohimeyama because he has such an enormous head

Well fought my lad
I expect him to show up in juryo at least

I have a strange dislike of seihakuho and no real reason for it

jfc, karla gets banned for real now, but that fuck midnight is still on

Its over

Ah shit nobehara down
Another futagoyama kyujo

>>149795999
They imported a custom-made one from Germany that can handle 1.6 Dewanojos, and it doesn't even get to be used for the one time it should.

>>149796018
I meant 1.16 Dewanojo, but anyways the point is that the JSA got a new fancy one.

did enho lose again I wasn't watching

>>149796064
Didn't fight today.

whats the best way to get tickets? i'm planning on going in march next year and very much dont want to miss getting tickets

>>149796068
oh yeah I forgot, only 7 fights below the salaried divisions, whoops

>>149796072
https://www.sumo.or.jp/EnTicket/

>>149796072
If I'm not mistaken tickets go on sale on their site and you just have to be quick, they sell out fast, on the order of 15 - 45 minutes. Take the time you have to look up the process. I once heard there were a handful of seats you could get at the door but I don't have first hand experience. Good luck and bring a camera, share pictures if you make it.

Day 4 makuuchi torikumi just got posted.
For me it's
Oshoma < Kirishima
Aonishiki < WTK
Kotozakura < WMH
Hoshoryu => Abi
Oho << Onosato
Abi would be my choice but he apparently got elbow surgery and undertrained in preparation for this basho. Still can't completely count him out considering his recent performance against Hoshoryu. Aonishiki v WTK will probably be the match of the day if no kinboshi get printed.

>>149796118
Oho upset.

anyone know what happened to Karla_sumoist's stream on twitch? it was the best one with just japanese Abema commentary and no stupid english commentary by retards. It looks like she got banned?

>>149796118
zak clears easy
I have faith
abi will use all of his built up chaotic energy to make oho win

>>149796127
oh god i'm retarded, saw the posts from above now - please sakujo my post

Schizos report it every time. It'll be back. Just use a VPN and get it at the source.

hes the one sending the takedown reports. hes a cunt who wants to be #1

>>149796146
any chance you have an invite to the disc?

Inami's career has been quite solid. No MK, no injuries, just steadily climbing up the banzuke and staying competitive against other makushita joi wrestlers.
>>149781933
It is just transformative enough with all of the window dressing and commentary to not be nuked.

What's next, get limb lengthening surgery?

Goddamn, Mita looks so small next to Mitoryu.

Nicely done.

>>149796118
>Abi
>maegashira
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS FOR JSA'S COFFERS?

The difference in crowd cheering from Hosh to Onsato is ridiculous.

why are the wind-up claps from onosato so fucking goofy?
who taught him to do his dohyo-iri?

>murray today
All is well.

I think Onosato still doesn't truly realize that he's a Yokozuna. His dohyo-iri is not that intense as it could be. He's still "just a guy", that happens to win everything.
Speaking of winning everything, the last 3-in a row was Hak himself, already like 10 years ago? The last japanese to do the same, was Takanohana himself, in the fucking 90s.

Day 3: Gagamaru
Nice fedora.

I like rooting for Shishi because when the giant retard wins, I laugh. Good for you, dopey.

every time I see Kayo fight I hear the sonic 2 boss theme in my head

Oh no, Kusa...no.

AAAh... his recovery was on point, but he tried something very risky.

Kusobros...

Reminder that Kotoshoho has never actually been bad, he's just injured all the time.

Manlet power!

>>149796630
I remember when he reached m2 once in his career, and already started yapping about taking tsuna.

Atamin for the love of god win.

>>149796681
I am channeling my energy for him

Fucking finally.

Luv Atami, simple as

Let’s fucking go

Good job. Road to KK.

I love Ichi winning I just don't know how he does it.

Ura 11-4JY with multiple special prizes.

This man's a wizard.

Ura looking pretty good.

>>149796716
It's a fucking travesty that a rikishi like Ura has only ever gotten ONE sansho. JSA should shower him in money, even when he MK's.

bulimia incomming

>>149796731
He's so thin and handsome.

Remember when people thought we were in for an Onosato v Takerufuji yokozuna rivalry?

>they once thought chicken-legs was sanyaku material
kek.

>>149796759
Taison era!

JUST

>>149796759
Surely they wouldn't, what kind of retard would throw out stuff like that
>Regarding his rivalry with Takerufuji, the president of the Yokozuna Deliberation Council, Masayuki Yamauchi, defined it, on the occasion of Takerufuji's historic title in March 2024, as that of the "ryūko" (龍虎), an expression drawing a parallel between the rivalry of the tiger and the dragon to designate two opponents of equal strength.
Oh

Takerufuji police officer in two years.

Lmao get slapped down idiot.

lol

Very dishonorable Sumo.

>>149796771
To their defence, Takeru's career start was truly unique. And his cup win was exceedingly dramatic.

>>149796771
These are the people who choose who gets the tsuna...

>>149796824
That's the guy who promoted Hoshoryu because he was desperate to promote someone before he retired, and Hakkaku went along with it because he wanted to ensure a Yokozuna for London.

The JSA are probably legit contemplating keeping Daieisho at Komusubi because no one can handle the rank.

>>149796844
No one?

Big Tom, let's keep it up

Come on Waka keep the wins coming, Ozeki is waiting for you.

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST

Very evil.

The most fucking obvious setup in history

evil spirit bros...we fucking won

Abi doing a henka after a matta is the most predictable thing in sumo.

2nd henka, i hope he gets hit by a truck

keep winning

THE DARK ONE LAUGHS

>>149796855
hoshoryu? he's a great rikishi, i'd love to face him

LOL. LMAO even, i like the wakas but that was funny as hell

>>149796871
abi henkas trucks for practice

I know we joke about it, but I think two yokozunas aren't enough to keep the Anti-Yokozuna in check: the evil spirits are giving him too much power...

This mf evil

Abi's loss yesterday was to a henka too. We're in for 15 days of straight henka action.

Abi is probably about to get a knock on his door in the middle of the night from the JSA for 2 henka wins in 3 days. Unfortunately he jumped out of the way of them too amd they broke their arms when they hit the ground.

Kirishima Ozeki soon.

>>149796866
>>149796868
Fucking hell. Has WTK ever not charged headfirst? He could try a standing tachi-ai against Abi at least. That said, the reach difference is likely to get him either way.

The return of Kiribayama.

>>149796892
KEK I remember the post from a while back about Abi henking a bullet in an assassination attempt.

luv abi simple as

gee zak why does the jsa let you have four tits

uhhh

KOTOZ- ACK!

He's going kadoban, lads.

>ACK
This is getting tiresome really. Shameful display for an Ozeki.

I guess the mawashi color doesn't matter after all.

I should have bought an Abi towel at the Kokugikan, I'm an idiot. They're 3x as much on bigsumofan than at the Kokugikan

Zak's winrate since November is now down to 45.8%. Absolutely disgraceful.

Koto really should’ve taken this tournament off neck soreness seems like a good enough reason to miss.

>>149796933
He's been dealing with injuries ever since his Yokozuna run. And he's been under-performing ever since.

GOD DAMNIT!

At least you didn't get pushed out

lol

Oh shit was that a super clean ashitori on Hosh's left leg? He straight up took that leg out.

Turns out giving Yokozuna to a guy for beating Kinbozan and Oho was not a good idea... Go figure.

>>149797006
Looked like Hoshoryu stepped on his own foot.

Even if it was a really nice legpick, I feel like I can’t defend hosh anymore

Two observations:
Dan is legit and he will not be denied his 11-4 finish even if you fuck him over with M1
Lmao Hosh

Aonishiki is on course to do what Oho did back in January where he beats all the tough guys in the first week then gets to free roll the second week against jobbers.

Welcome back futahagoro

let's fucking go boys

I dunno what is worst... The absolute state of Hoshoryu or the Dan dick riders going full cowgirl...

KEK!

He's coming for you, Hoshoryu. He wants his kinboshi too.

So when do the power levels chart get updated?

That was not a fluke he is already truly sanyaku tier at 21, I say he makes Ozeki in 2 years.

>>149797037
I called this dillema >>149782539

>>149796118
I change my mind about Hoshoryu, he is probably not winning vs Abi.

Dan v WTK has the potential to be fight of the tournament. Hell, Dan's fight today is up there.

>>149796118
Waka is very good against smaller dudes I think he takes it.

>>149797066
even sooner, in a year if he keeps it up

There's a non-zero chance that we're watching the start of Dan's Ozeki run desu. If he can make it through the first week at 5-2 he'll have nothing but Maegashira to eat. Dan v Abi should be a fun one.

If he loses tomorrow, he'll definitely kyujo and pull the "injured" card.

Also if you guys wanna watch an up and comer, keep an eye on Goshima in Makushita. He's an MS60TD guy in his third basho, he's gone 6-1 6-1 so far and is 2-0. Dude's huge and powerful, reminds me of Onosato on his way up.

>>149797070
Well, I'm happy for Aonishiki and the Hoshoryu (Héritier spirituel de Futahaguro) dispenser memes and banter are funny.

>>149796980
Uncle Dan, the sumo man...

>>149782471
I'm convinced that Hosho has that 90's action movie hero thing where he needs to get his ass handed to him for a bit before he gets a vision of Temujin and starts fighting back.

>>149797046
>Abi has a chance to do the funniest fucking shit ever
x several times, every single basho.

>>149797096
b-b-b-but his training score!

>>149797031
Nah, Futahaguro was promoted solely off of two jun-yūshō without having even won a yūshō previously, and then never even won a yūshō as a yokozuna; his disgrace to the license/rank purely on the sporting level is well and truly still unmatched.

I've never been one to consort with dark spirits before... I've... I've never done this sort of thing at all... But Abi... If you're listening? Claim a kinboshi and I owe you a debt... I swear it.

The fight only gets more impressive the more you watch it. Hoshoryu actually looked kinda panicked once he realised that there's nothing he could do to get Dan off him. I think the reason he's so immune to being pushed down because he's actually so close to his opponent that they simply don't have the leverage to push down on him with any real force. You either keep him out the way Onosato and Daieisho have done it, or you're basically done for because he IS going to take out one of your legs eventually.

>>149797206
Dan the Slayer of Manlets

>>149797206
we had JUST watched the aonishiki documentary linked earlier in the thread before juryo got going and then he did the exact thing they said he tried to do, getting his head in low, under the opponent. I love watching a kinboshi happen... But not from onosato, that is different, if that happens I'll shid and fard and cummed in protest

>>149797576

I wish to make jelly doughnuts so adeptly

>>149797046
If Hoshoyu falls for an Abi henka tomorrow, I hope the NSK tells him to intai. He can’t be that stupid.

>>149797893
WTK isn't dumb either, and yet

>>149797893
Hoshoryu is usually one to beat henkas, but I suspect Abi isn't fit for fighting squarely so he'll probably try anyway. I think he's just trying to steal as many wins as possible without effort.

>>149798065
>Abi isn't fit for fighting squarely
GUL'DAN CHEATED

HE SCORED A KINHOSHI WITH A LEG-GRAB!

I bet JSA is really relieved that Onosato is performing well
Imagine if hosh was still the only Y

Imagine losing to Tobizaru belt to belt lmao

What time of the day are the highlight videos usually uploaded on NHK?

>>149798291
I never understand how Tobizaru gets wins. Somehow Takerufuji was unable to push him back when nobody else has had trouble doing that recently.

>>149798291
>>149798378
yeah that was absolute trash sumo by takeru, no clue what the fuck is he doing. He should be yeeting him out the dohyou like a ragdol.. ,but also, tobizaru and ichiyamamoto - how these two clowns managed to be in upper maegashira is absolute magic to me.

>>149798431
Ichiyamamoto at least makes some sense to me. He's a pretty tall guy and has massively long gorilla arms that he thrusts with. Tobizaru is a manlet and tries to survive getting tossed around until he somehow finds a win. You would expect Takerufuji to turn him to paste but somehow Tobi steals wins.

Being a Hoshfag is suffering. When is he going to start fighting like a Yokozuna? He was promoted months ago

>>149797576
wtf was hoshoryu's plan here he should have went chest to chest with him and tried to outwrestle him, instead he tried to pushdown the guy whose entire style is getting low without being pushed down

>>149799231
>I'm a Yokozuna too, he'll just fly out of the ring like yesterday!

>>149799231
Either he's having some kind of mental block, or he's not doing his due diligence in studying how his opponents fight and thinking how to counter them.

>>149799231
Hosh simply doesn't take his matches seriously, especially against Maegashira. Unfortunately for him, his situation has become very serious because of this mindset.

>>149799303
When was it he started to do his le staredowns and not putting his fists down before his opponent? I think even before he was an Ozeki. Such an ego is unbecoming of a grand champion.

Just watched the Dan documentary that the NHK put up. Tamawashi giving him a push on to the dohyo to do some practice bouts was some good senior sportsmanship, even if he didn't end up doing any bouts. What a lad.

>>149799360
I love old Tom, he's the wrestler that makes me the happiest when he wins. It's really funny to me that I've heard before he got recognition as the ironman, he was known as a heel for doing brutal throws and launching people off the dohyo back before I started watching.

>>149799414
Old Tom? That's a strange way to refer to the Elbow Executioner.

hai
so desu ne (x3)

Japanese is easy.

>>149799414
My first real exposure to the sport was in An Idiot Abroad. Where Tamawashi terrorized and treats Karl Pilkington like an actual rag doll. Made me realise that these were not just fat guys in nappies, but actual monsters not to be messed with.

Hand placement, Tobi is constantly pawing at his opponent.
Mainly at his opponents hands and face, blocking their hands from going where they want. Combined with thrusts from a low angle to constantly destabalize his opponent.
Tobi's sumo's main goal is to break his opponents regular flow and not let them control the match.
Never underestimate the monkey, he retired Terunofuji after all.

>>149797576
>that cushion throw near the end
Absolute KINO.

>>149798099
he never had the makings of a varsity athlete

>>149799231
>wtf was hoshoryu's plan here
Honestly, I believe the problem is that Dan's gameplan is so atypical that everyone is struggling to deal with it. He's so low that you can't really throw him, and all the while he's just fishing for your legs. Watch the webm again, you see his left hand going for Hosh's right knee to pull it out. He misses, goes back to the belt, then tries again and manages to yank his knee out from under him.

Right now Dan is looking like the best belt fighter in Ozumo and I'm not even the dickrider.
