Previous thread >>149818391

Imagine saying reality is wrong because your favorite wrestler lost

>>149842039
the delusion of the danfag is really reaching the point of mental illness

Abi looked awful against Zak. Couldnt do a thing. Got wrapped up and walked out. Which just makes Hosh look even worse lol.

Onokatsu looked like a child against Onosato, but so many wrestlers do now. It feels like he stepped up one more level since May.

>>149841972 (OP)
ret𝒶rd

This thread look blessed.

>2 threads
please don't do this nonsense

This is the thread. Fuck the delusional "Dan" nigga.

>>149842140
Yeah, like he walked into a fucking wall and just got bounced back

Also I am happy to see mitakeumi doing well, after getting an 8-7 in juryo i was sure he is just going to go back down

>>149842140
I haven't seen any evidence of him stepping up a level yet. He's a one-trick pony at the moment because he's still so close to the beginning of his career, he's not yet learned how to think on his feet when the tachi-ai doesn't go to plan. We're still years away from peak Onosato.

>>149841972 (OP)
given that you're enraged at seeing aonishiki threads, why would you post an aonishki thread of you own?

>>149842749
I know you have been told multiple times, but the problem is not aonishiki, he is a nice guy. The problem is being a fag and making shopped pictures to fellate him

>>149842749
This is a Papayasu thread

>>149842425
I think he's improving noticeably every basho. The Oho match was pretty bad, I'll give you that, but he's looked extremely good otherwise. I also think he can grow even more.

I would love it if this basho came down to Onosato vs Takayasu again. Just look at this throw resistance.

>>149843409
I just think that Onosato has immense potential that he isn't yet living up to. He's already a fantastic rikishi and a cut above everyone else on the banzuke, and it's because of that I judge him more harshly than others. One day, we'll look back on these early bashos and marvel that Onosato was ever so green.

The makushita torikumi looks really good today. A lot of up-and-comers fighting today and matches that could let Ishizaki and Asahakuryu secure juryo promotions early into the basho.
Who are your favourite wrestlers in makushita right now?

>>149843812
I'm sadly kind of out of the loop on makushita, haven't been able to watch as much lower division lately.

I love Okaryu though.

>>149844146
>haven't been able to watch as much lower division lately.
Same, but I try my best to watch a few matches that feature wrestlers I like. I'm bummed out that Anosho is 0-3 but he's Ms8 so it's understandable. The other wrestlers I'm rooting for are generally doing well right now so I'm glad.
>I love Okaryu though.
He's cool.

>>149844383
I was really hoping Mudoho would step up lol. I always feel bad for the guys with successful brothers (third waka bro way down in sandanme or something).

I like Ishizaki too but like Asakoryu I dont think the muscle manlet gameplan works too well in makuuchi.

Really I like the Sakaigawa beya fighters, like Kurohimeyama, Yonezawaryu, and Shimizuumi. I think all three are going to appear in the top division eventually.

>>149842406
Mitakeumi ozeki re-run starts now

>>149844493
>I was really hoping Mudoho would step up lol.
I wasn't expecting much but 0-3 is not a very pretty start. I hope he can make a comeback by the end of the year.
>I always feel bad for the guys with successful brothers (third waka bro way down in sandanme or something).
He went kyujo for one basho after getting 1-6; it was some sort of spinal injury if I remember correctly. Message still doesn't change because it sucks to be only known for being a relative of someone who is successful while you're still in the trenches.
>Kurohimeyama, Yonezawaryu, and Shimizuumi
I imagine the makushita grind isn't going to be easy (it never is unless you are really talented) but I do imagine they'll become sekitori one day. I like Shimizuumi the most among the three and I watch their matches among others in makushita.

Has there been any news on Takerufuji? Hopefully that injury isn’t as severe as it looked, because it was pretty gruesome.

Back from my sleep and I see two threads, uh? I'll assume this one is the correct one, cus I don't like fags crying about their rikishi losing regardless if they're Danfags.

>>149844787
the other one was 1st

>>149844905
Who cares?

>>149844493
>I was really hoping Mudoho would step up lol.
Well, if he’s anything like his brother, every bit of forward progress will always be immediately followed by regression.

At least he isn’t the lowest-ranked brother. Naya (formerly Houzan, who took Naya after Ouhou took his current shikona) has struggled to stay out of sandanme, and he’s older than Ouhou.

>>149844909
that means it's the correct one

>>149844950
Nah.

>>149844905
Why choose a pic that implies Takayasu didn't deserve that win? Just accept the L and move on lmao. Takeru's torn bicep or Mitakeumi sole leader should be a better OP honestly.

>>149844977
why care what the OP is and why create 2 threads

>>149844988
Again, no one fucking cares. This thread is the active one so we use this one. Why are you like this?

fraudozunas could never

>>149844988
Why care about caring what the op is and why care about caring about 2 threads

>>149845002
you're splitting attention between two threads for no reason

>>149845029
We do what we must

>>149844938
Oh man I forgot about him

The Waka brothers case is particularly interesting since you'd think genetics and upbringing would produce similar results but it simply doesnt.

>>149845056
The oldest Naya brother, Yukio, got out of sumo and became a professional wrestler with instead. (He was the only one old enough to really understand their parents’ ugly divorce so he wanted nothing to do with sumo after that.)
He would have been incredible on the dohyo, though. He’s like 200cm tall.

Funny enough, he’s also the son closest to his father, since the other three can’t really be too open about having a relationship with the guy who regularly trashes the JSA.

>>149845110
Based Takatoriki
I hope he keeps talking shit forever

>>149844718
Cant find anything on it but yeah I saw that too and from all the webms I've seen on /fit/, it looked like a complete bicep tear. Donezo. He's out for 2 bashos most likely. But shouldnt have any permanent effect.

>>149845166
That’s assuming he actually lets himself heal and doesn’t come back too soon. He’s also 26, so he’s not exactly young.

If he only misses one basho, he’ll drop down to around J7 when he comes back, if he misses two basho, he’ll have to start from Ms5 or so.

>>149845279
I havent seen any bicep tears in sumo before. I was a bit surprised but I guess Takkers, with his upper body centric sumo, tried to curl Sadanoumi out of the dohyo. And succeeded I suppose. Its sad, I like Takerufujis sumo a lot.

Remember when people thought they would tear biceps during that curling competition they did for youtube?

>>149845370
To me, it looked like Speedonoumi had a partial elbow lock on Takerufuji when he fell unexpectedly and that sort of hyperextended the joint.

I know Fujinokawa is a shikona with a lot of history associated with it, but he's still Wakaikari to me.

>>149845443
I want to see his performance against upper makuuchi and sanyaku. It took 9 days for Takeru to finally face someone above his level.

>>149845527
When this happens, what do people do with old name towels and such? I noticed a lot of people had Fujinokawa towels already. I wonder if the supporters clubs do trade ins or something.

>>149845527
I'm with you, Wakaikari had a ring to it, even if Fujinokawa has more sumo soul.
Glad he has been performing well, that lift was sublime.

>>149845644
Towels are like 10 dollars it’s not a huge investment schlomo-san

>>149845719
Alright, well it's not like I've bought one before.
Someday.

>>149845110
>>149845137
Takatoriki saves dick picks on his computer.

>>149845804
Technically so do you

>>149845644
They’re collectors’ items. If you have one, it shows you’re an OG supporter.

>>149845819
Sure, but he’s exposing scandal in the sumo world. I’m just gooning. It’s completely different.

>>149845406
takeru sadly decided not to let go of the mawashi when he should've and got his arm yanked off as a result

Hakkeyoiiiiiii YOI

I missed Hikarumusashi getting his KK because of my Internet sharting during his match...
>>149847565
>polite clapping from the audience to encourage the rikishi

is takerufuji dead?

>>149847739
No but one of his biceps is

>>149847679
I missed Mitas match yesterday because the shitty stream froze

Another Dewanojo banger.

please forgive my ignorance, when the gyoji is going "AH-TA-RA-GA-TA-RA-GA-TA" frantically is that a word or just him making a sound? What does "ha kee yoi" mean for that matter? Thank you.

>>149848332
The gyojis are yelling two things usually
>Hakkeyoi
They shout this at the start of the match, and also when there's a pause or stalemate. It means like "put your spirit into it".
>Nokotta
They shout this during the match, it means like "still in", basically meaning the wrestlers haven't gone outside the ring, so they should keep going.

>>149848351
awesome, thank you

>>149848391
It can sound different at times because they sometimes try to stylize it, since one of the criteria for gyoji promotion is the quality of their shouting

When a wrestler retires is it considered rude to call them by their old ring name if you see them in public or would that be okay?

>>149848503
I hope not
I plan to befriend every rikishi I see when I visit Japan

I want to start following sumo

>>149848527
Never a better time than now
I find it's best to enjoy a wide selection of wrestlers and not get too attached to any particular one but some "people" like to obsess
You can watch highlights here from the current basho to catch up
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/

it's also live right now, just search sumo on youtube and filter to live results
top division, which is all most people watch, will start around 2 hours from now and last around 3 hours
Lots of people enjoy watching the sumo stable youtube channels, we have a list of them in our /xs/ thread >>>/xs/236193 which is where we post when tournaments aren't happening

>>149848503
If they're a currently serving elder then it's polite to refer to them by their elder name. If not you can say "ex-[name]" or "ex-[highest rank]." Since you're a foreigner they won't be annoyed if you just use their name though because they understand we don't know everything.

>>149848605
Thanks, ill check out the live even after I watch a quick documentary on the basics and culture

>>149848667
I actually got into myself by watching the show Sanctuary on netflix
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA2-DjbULiM

>>149848527
You picked a good time. There's a bunch of exciting up and comers, and we have two yokozuna for the first time in years (even though one is jobbing right now).

>>149848686
Can they bend a deck of cards?

>>149848527
beware the dark one

>>149848698
idk but Ura has a measured grip strength of like 230 pounds or something

>>149848731
He's doing so well this basho, its nice to see

Insane recovery from Ikarigata.

>>149848780
Poor Naya

>>149848749
got himself demoted low enough that he can handle the competition, kind of a pussy move.

>>149849002
He's not a pussy, he just isnt the strongest. But thats why he tries to be the most entertaining instead.

>get great tachiai
>push opponent to tawara

Yumitori-on-yumitori violence...

Nishinoryu just gave Inami the works to do that kirikaeshi. Inami will still manage to pull a 4-3 once again.

>>149849252
Akua is a hilarious being

>>149849204
https://hochi.news/articles/20250719-OHT1T51112.html

At least he still has 3 more shots at securing that very important KK.

Nice recovery by Shiden.

haha get henka'd

>>149845644
A towel in the Kokugikan cost me ¥720. If I had an old towel I'd just put it on my wall with my current ones

wtf is going on with shirokuma?

It's looking very grim for Shirokuma.

Shirokuma is so weak.

Takerufuji bros.. is he coming back?

>O MY SPORTS TAPE
After what happened to your bicep? Are you nuts?

Takeru is wrestling through it

So why are there two threads...

>>149850017
people had melties like retards, this is the real thread though.

>>149849966
>>149849968
apparently his right arm is taped up

>>149850029
This too is the evil spirit's fault.

>>149850048
What a fucking trooper. He's my new fave this tournie.

Hopefully he just want to go for 8-2-5 to guarantee his makuuchi slot, cus he needs more time to recover and ensure he'll be 100% for the next basho.

>>149849968
absolutely retarded decision depending on the actual severity of the injury, but also profoundly based

Day 7: Wakanohana

>>149849968
This has to be some kind of fucking statement to call hosh a bitch or something, no fucking way

It was only a matter of time really.

It's over...

>henka win for the first match of makuuchi
absolutely pissening portent

Kusano's Sumo is very legit.

kwabbed

Shishi got dumped.

you could see the gears turning in shishis head before he decided to throw that slap

Ever since they nerfed his weird twerking, Shishi hasn't been doing so well

>this meatball actually tried a henka
Jesus Christ.
Back to juryo with him.

lmao that was awful

Flying meatball

Shit, missed Mita's loss.
Wakaikari? Really?

Not today, manlet.

>>149850355

>>149850355

NEARLY RECOVERED

he was 'working security' aka standing buy a door at the march basho

>>149850496
Sybau

Wait, Takeru is trying to fight with this injury?

I guess it was not a full tear? Surely he would not fight with his right arm being totally fucked

wow

>>149850487
>>149850535
>>149850555
didn't really get a chance to use that arm lol

>>149850535
He could barely even toss the salt.
>>149850555
Don't underestimate how retarded these guys are when it comes to injuries.

It's not worth it Takeru, just bow out and start rehab

>>149850570
Just rewatched it, jesus he just turned his body to toss instead of lifting the arm. Guess he is trying to satch some wins to stay in juryo after skipping the next basho(s)

>Hoshoryu at the peak of his powers
>But his toe hurts a little
>"I'M OUT! I CAN'T COMPETE LIKE THIS!"

>Takerufuji with a disintegrated bicep
>All the doctors telling him to quit and start rehab
>"Takerufuji forma del brazo moribundo, sounds good..."

he nearly went fully lights out after that headbutt
looks like he's still seeing stars

>>149850621
One goes down in rankings if he doesn't force himself to wrestler injured, and the other does not. If Taker could pull out without dropping rank, I'm sure he'd be gone.

>destroy your body even more and try to secure your makuuchi slot at any cost
or
>kyujo twice and probably end up in makushita

Isn't that kind of bicep tear something you won't just heal? Doesn't he need to have a surgery for that?

>>oho
removes onosato, but loses to 1-5 onokatsu...

No katsu today...

>pulls
>starts losing
Yep, sure is Oho.

Would you eat her rotten rice /sumo/?

pretty ironic given that Terunofuji is his oyakata now

So tru. Taker is the real one.

>already through entire (alive) sanyaku

That's 3 more than I expected, and now nothing can stop him from reaching his destiny once again (11-4 Kanto-sho finish)

>>149850720
Shikihide got sick in 2020 and without a second coach, most of the daily operations of the stable was done by his wife. His wife was extremely oppressive, which led to most of the wrestlers running away from the stable in protest. One of the issues when she ran the stable was that rotten rice was being used to feed the wrestlers because all of the fresh rice, which is donated by Shikihide's supporters, was being used to feed supporters/visitors instead of the wrestlers.

Ahem, SHE is in the middle of a transitional stage in HER life and your snide remarks are not appreciated, chud.

Zak lookin' better today.

>>149850928
It's genetic.

Now THATS ozeki performance.

Welcome back, Kotozakura II.

Tomorrow's matches. Who is Nishkigi replacing?

Zak looking like prime teru out there

>>149850950
Takeru, they didn't expect him to be retarded

>>149850959
I wish you were right but he's scheduled for Ura

>>149850950
Ah, it's Shirokuma

>>149850950
it's because hidenoumi is coming back tomorrow

the onosato code gets cracked this basho

>>149850979
Christ your right, I've made a mess of this haven't I? I'll fuck off now

>>149850959
You can't *just* pull out. A sceduled oppo will get a kyujo win first.

>>>149850959
Get fucked Kinbozan.

god fuckin' DAMN dude

No chance

Dam, people llllove this motherfucka.
Cheering so damn loud.

the kinbozo error has been corrected

shrektangled

>>149851022
What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?
I don't want to eat babies, I'm not jewish. Terrible.

At this point the only one who can defeat Onosato is Onosato himself

Ohhhhhweeeee he’s strong this kids an oni

luv truck-kun Onosato simple as

Onosato family tradition: just push him out lmao

kinbozan was no opponent...for anyone this basho. that was an easy win for onosato.

kusano vs onosato for yusho

Well, time to purify the sacred dohyo for today lads. May your shitposting and memes stay pure and fun, and the evil spirits be buried six pages under.

I can see Onosato, Kirishima and Kusano taking the lead in the second week.

>>149851137
Is Tamawashi the worst rikishi to even win 2 cups?
>Career Record 867-844-2/1710

Literally a fucking negative record.

>>149850724
He's so based, I wish he continues to troll the sanyaku, joijin and yokozuna for as long as he can.

>>149851158
that would be hoshoryu

Surely, he has more makuuchi cups than Tamawashi.

>>149850908
If he yushos with a 13-2, that would put him at 32 wins. Maybe they could slot him into ozeki for that. I don't think a jun-yusho would move the needle though. I can only see him losing to Wakatakakage, who is doing badly, and the Yokozuna.

Get told, haters.

>>149853181
I dont think the commitee will give much leeway to him unless he yushos convincingly (ie 14-1), but if he can keep his form in september i can see ozeki Kirishima being a thing again

>>149853181
they are generally more strict on former ozeki trying to return to the rank

Kotozakura has looked like an entirely different man after day 3. It's like someone grabbed him and told him you can't just hold and lean on guys and expect to win at ozeki. You do need to go forward at some point.
Atami similarly has been much better since day 3.

>>149853729
No other rikishi possesses such raped fanbase.

Its his time once again

>>149855306
>he looks good when he wins and looks bad when he loses
brilliant observation. zak lost to Dan and kekayasu, both top tier talents who are in good form and he beat shitters because ozekis have their matches against lower ranked opponents in the earliest part of the basho.

>>149853181
>Wakatakakage, who is doing badly
WakatakaKOGA is "doing badly" because he sux. Dude is too small to consistently perform well at the highest levels.
>Manlets, when will they learn

Onosato is now immune to nodowa. The only thing that can defeat him is his own stupidity, and he's generally not stupid

>>149855902
lmao, saved.

>Tamashoho's oichonmage is awry before the match

Disgraceful
At least he channeled it into a henka lmao this fuckin guy

Is kayo a bigger retard than shishi? That henka was embarrassing.

Ryuden got spun right out
Like a record baby

I wonder if he lost his spot in Onosato's dohyo iri solely due to dropping down to juryo

>Mitakeumi so pissed about losing he only inclines an eyebrow instead of bowing
Lol
Well, I didnt seriously expect him to go unbeaten
The Fujinokawa name seems to have galvanized Wakaikari, he fights like a man possessed

Kotoeiho got manhandled by Kusano
Could not contest his power

Cant wait until Kusano starts taking on the sanyaku

Shodai wins the shi-sho showdown

Shishi managed to put up some resistance at least

>only managed to catch up to day 3
too much sumo

>Kayo unironically attempting a henka

Like watching a planet try to change its orbit

What was he thinking

Tokihayate lost
Forgive me if it sounds cruel but that just seems like his natural state

Roga showing some nice technique there as opposed to his usual "grab the belt and hang on for dear life" style

>>149856884
I am a retard, a couple of threads ago I confused Koya with Koga when I called one spherical, should I commit sudoku?

>>149855843
You're a retard who didn't read what I said. The first three days he's grabbed his opponent and stood still until he got taken down like a chump, except for having a 2 minute long standstill with Oho until Ohp got tired. After day 3 he's started going forward instead.

>>149857127
Nah just a simple mistake
Koga has the eyebrows
Kayo has the belly

ATF won one

My boy
I just want him to make Ozeki

Takanosho finally got a win
He's doing so bad this basho I expect him to compete for the yusho next time

>>149857127
You confused Kōga with a sekitori. Death would be too kind.

Ah Ura
Even when he loses he does it in an entertaining way

Takerufuji "the Terminator"

yes he lost but who the fuck thought he would even show up

>all this Kayo hate

I think it's pretty impressive that he can move around like that while being so rotund.
Too bad he just kind of sucks.

>>149857378
He's like an incompetent Takakeisho

>>149857378
His brand is pathetic.

Cool win by Hiradoumi
Meisei deflected straight into the clay

>>149857361
That's absolutely insane. That wouldn't be allowed in any other sport afak. He deserves a kanto-sho if he KK.

Tamawashi

what does he know that everyone else doesn't

>>149857507
he made a deal with da evil

*slaps mawashi*
*grunts at you*

Too bad, I would have liked to see Takayasu win
that's probably what did him in

Well done Zak
I would have liked Hakuoho to win, especially since I have him as one of my kc picks but it's also nice to see Zak looking like an Ozeki again

And Onosato won of course
there was no question

a good day of bouts

now I can go back and read the rest of the thread

>>149857304
no wonder, he lost again... same as Enho.. who limped away from dohyou... just shows how goddamn hard it is to climb back up

Just got back from work and finished watching the matches I couldn't catch this morning. Onosato's style of sumo really is just him briskly walking forwards lmaoooo. Today was another great day of Ozumo.

>The lone Yokozuna winning convincingly again
>Zak getting it done
>Kirishima's Ozeki run still alive (they'll probably give it to him on 32)
>Dan still keeping it entertaining

It's a shame WTK's Ozeki run just isn't happening. Hopefully he can get to at least 10 and keep his run alive for next basho. A MK would be devastating.

The granddaughter of a prime minister is fit to be a Yokozuna's wife

>>149858588
>Onosato's style of sumo really is just him briskly walking forwards lmaoooo
Skill and technique can only do so much against sheer size.

Aonishiki is going to marry a 1,70m Jap idol and she will birth the next Taiho.

>>149858588
>It's a shame WTK's Ozeki run just isn't happening
no it isn't, it would be too embarrassing to have a midget make ozeki, it would be pretty much like admitting that you're watching the weakest era of sumo. having him get shut out is reassuring

>>149858706
His size hasn't really increased all that much. He was 177kg on his debut at Ms10, and there are guys much heavier than Onosato in lower divisions. If you rewatch today's match you'll see that Onosato was intentionally parrying Bozo's left arm upwards. The second parry is when Onosato caught his arm well enough to really go in and exert force, at which point Bozo had no leverage to resist and got walked out.

You're seeing size AND technique at the same time.

>>149858780
You're retarded.

Dan has now fought all of the banzuke ranked above him and he is only 1 win off the lead. Nobody else can say that, nobody else is in that position, outside of the possibility of Onosato winning out (not really all too unlikely) Dan now has the inside lane to the championship.

>>149858998
He's basically Oho in January right now.

>>149859014
5-2 against sanyaku is impressive considering sanyaku blasted him 3-0 in May.

Oho being Oho, a guy who loses to everyone except the best, makes you half expect that he will show up against Dan.

>>149850856
Underrated

>>149859178
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume Daieisho would've made Dan look like a chump a third time. If in the next three basho Dan makes Ozeki, it'll be because Daieisho wasn't there.

>>149858998
There are at least 3 more guaranteed losses on his schedule

>>149859615
His fight against Abi will be hilarious. The king of "I'm gonna raise you up" versus the king of "I'm gonna fight you low".

New to the sport. Chances of Dan making komusubi?

>>149860159
some of the current sanyaku are likely to get losing scores, so if he gets even 8-7 he's probably gonna get promoted.

>>149860159
He's currently at the highest maegashira rank, so promotion to komusubi is guaranteed with any winning record. Komusubi is the last rank where that applies, after that they have to either wait for a sekiwake slot to open, or get a very strong score of 11+ wins to force an extra sekiwake slot.

>>149860210
>>149860212
Sweet thanks.

yeah komusubi is effectively guaranteed, but if any of the sekiwake drop and he gets 10+ wins he might go straight to sekiwake.

>>149860159
Oshoma is 100% losing his spot and Daieisho's 0-0-15 will slam him down miles, so there's gonna be a single Komusubi spot available out of the entire Sanyaku, and Dan is M1e with a good KK incoming. Abi and Tamawashi are ready to take the spot if Dan falters, but if the basho ended right now Dan would get the spot.

>>149860299
The reason extra Sekiwake spots open is because you need to be Sekiwake to jump to Ozeki. WTK was given Sekiwake because he can realistically get to 33 wins this basho and becomes Ozeki, thus he needs to be at Sekiwake. No result in September will make Dan Ozeki because you can't start a run at M9, so there's no need for Dan to be Sekiwake no matter what result he gets this basho. He can have Oshoma's Komusubi spot, then if he gets 10+ next basho can force open another Sekiwake spot, THEN he can shoot for Ozeki.

Gonna laugh when Dan finishes with a 10-5 and goes komusubi while Takayasu gets sekiwake with a 9-6, and redditors who don't know how things work claim more racism.

>>149860346
>The reason extra Sekiwake spots open is because you need to be Sekiwake to jump to Ozeki. WTK was given Sekiwake because he can realistically get to 33 wins this basho and becomes Ozeki, thus he needs to be at Sekiwake.
This is also why it takes 11+ wins to open an extra sekiwake spot. 33/3=11, so 11+ wins at komusubi means they're already on an ozeki run.

>>149860361
Takayasu is going to win the yusho in a playoff against Onosato

>>149860346
Actually when I wrote this I forgot that WTK has a losing record. But with Takayasu on course for a strong finish it looks like our Sekiwake next basho could well be Kirishima and Takayasu, meaning Dan can't go beyond Komusubi either way.

>>149860388
They'll open a slot when a rikishi could realistically get enough in the next basho to make Ozeki.

>>149860392
good one

Wakatakakage 10-5

>>149860419
>They'll open a slot when a rikishi could realistically get enough in the next basho to make Ozeki.
They've been consistent since pretty much forever: it will always take 11+ wins to open an overhang sekiwake, and 11+ wins will always do it. 10 is not enough if there isn't an open S1.

>>149860506
https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Banzuke.aspx?b=200111#M
https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Banzuke.aspx?b=200201#M

Asashoryu seems to have forced open a Sekiwake slot on 10-5 but what's with the 0-0-15 Sekiwake who didn't get demoted? Does Daieisho have a chance???

Remember

>>149860651
Public injury system was still in effect back then, so they likely made an exception since Tochiazuma got promoted and there weren't two healthy sekiwake.

>>149860744
DOES DAIEISHO

HAVE A CHANCE

PLEASE HAKKAKU-SAMA DON'T DO HIM DIRTY LIKE THIS ;________;

>>149860744
>>149860651
Yeah looking through examples of 8-10 wins, the only exceptions made were in cases of absences to at least one of the existing sekiwake. Public injury, covid, and suspension, they only made an exception in cases of "there would be an opening if it wasn't for this, so we're not going to punish the other guy who would have otherwise secured this position."

>>149860299
Dan will have to finish substantially better than Takayasu to get any sekiwake slot opened up either by KirSHITma getting promoted or Wakatakakoga MKing, you can go on sumodb to look up whatever historical precedents there are, seems like there is also an outside chance at having two S2s next banzuke if both Dan and Takyasu end up with high enough double digit scores.

>>149861521
You just used "historical precedent" and "Takayasu" in the same sentence.

Is Onosato our guy?

>>149861864
Never.

>>149861864
Always was.

>>149861864
Yeah buddy

>>149861864
Abi is our guy, but Onosato isn't bad

I'm just gonna say it. Onosato is the most soulless rikishi ever. He went through the college and university route, then got into pro sumo like it was just him finding a job with his degree. Meanwhile you've got kids slaving away from 16 in beyas trying to make it. Hakuho was 16 in his pro debut. Onosato was 22.

>>149861959
>Abi is our guy
This

>>149861960
how is it onosato's fault that he's this good lol

>>149862028
Why didn't he get into Ozumo at a younger age? It's because he doesn't care about Ozumo, it was simply the natural progression for him. Zero soul.

>>149861864
No. Too boring to even root against.

>>149862028
He's a salaryman, not a yokozuna.

The utterly impotent Onosato haters lmao

>>149862142
Show us your power then, oh wise one.

>>149862157
Careful, he's gonna post his Ichiyamamoto shrine.

>>149862087
no he's yokozuna because he's a yokozuna idk if you saw the rank and special white rope and everything but yeah he's one of the two current yokozuna

>>149862199
Do you need me to call someone?

>>149862199
>Hoshoryu is a yokozuna because he has the rank and a white rope SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

>>149862227
yes hoshoryu is one of the two current yokozuna

>>149861864
No.

>>149862235
Hoshoryu was an act of desperation by a pathetic YDC Chairman who wanted to promote someone before he retired, and a grouchy old fuck heading the JSA who wanted to make sure that someone was wearing a tsuna for this London bullshit no one will care about. God I hope they go anywhere near the outskirts of London, imagine the Paris Syndrome bubble bursting.

>>149862087
This isn't the 80s anymore, university grads are the majority of sekitori now and another university yokozuna was an inevitability.

Complete list of our guys:

Hoshoryu
Wakatakakage
Aonishiki
Abi
Tamawashi
Hiradoumi
Tobizaru
Ura

>>149862420
Fucking tourist.

>>149861960
>he’s winning wrong!

>>149862527
Onosato doesn't uphold the traditions of sumo because he's just a guy who got a job as a rikishi just before his 23rd birthday when he was basically guaranteed to be successful. Koga debuted in Jonokuchi at just 15 years old. Who really put their soul into sumo?

>>149862658
>Who really put their soul into sumo?
Onosato because he paid for a full university tenure to improve in sumo, when he could've joined at 16 and been a sekitori earlier.

>>149862822
>Koga because he gave up on everything so he could focus himself purely on sumo
I'm glad we agree.

>>149862335
No shit. And I reserve the right to be bitter about it.

>>149862822
>>149863043
Koga is the most soulful rikishi going. Onoshato can’t compete.

i have come to a conclusion that ass-hyrou was better than hakuho

>>149863496
Asashoryu won his first 20 yusho faster than Hakuho.

>>149863543
Yeah, but Asashoryu lost 5 bouts in a row once.

>>149863638
AAAIIIIIEEEE SAVE ME ULAANBAATAR!!!

https://english.kyodonews.net/articles/-/57591
During his fifth-day victory over sekiwake Kirishima, Aonishiki received a strong thrust that left him with bruising around his right eye.

Asked to comment on the wound, the wrestler, who belongs to the Ajigawa stable, quipped, "I don't care. I think I've become a more handsome man."

>>149865344
Reminds me of when Kirishima face planted the dohyo in May and lost a layer of skin around his eye.

What's the matter, don't like posting in your shitty little exile thread anymore? Haha

>>149865392
You have problems. Seek help.

>>149865602
You're just mad

>>149865715
No one is mad. You're just hateful.

>actually getting mad that someone is posting about a wrestler
why

Takyasu definitely touched the dohyo surface with his fingers, if you watch it in super slow mo you can even see the sand move when he touches down
https://youtu.be/DpRS3WuUPrQ?t=54
There was a match about two years ago when Ura got away with doing the same thing

>>149865832
maybe

>>149848780
>>149848819
Really unlucky. I was going to say that he got too greedy or too comfy but that big push was pretty good, it was just that Ikarigata was able to recover using the tawara.

>>149856771
>>149856771
>Mitakeumi so pissed about losing he only inclines an eyebrow instead of bowing
He does this shit all the time. Especially after his spectacular fall. From Japan's new hope, surging ozeki, winner of 3 cups, to... "you now remember: Mitakeumi", when you see him getting removed at the bottom of makunochi lists.

>>149856884
Every day I'm amazed that this "thing" is a sekitori. Div1, on top of that. Power to him.

Watch the slow motion. His hand doesn't touch.

Kotozakura bros we good this basho

>>149867393
Quintessential Canadian. Huge fag.

>>149867393
Yeah that was lame, Trump is pretty much the only major international political figure I can think of who has taken any substantial interest in sumo in recent years and his country doesn't even have anyone ranked high on the banzuke. Russia has one and it looks like Wakomotochina could be in makuuchi soon too, but Xi & Putin aren't interested.

>>149867300
>>149856771
as far as I remember, Mitakeumi really doesn't like losing against younger/rookie wrestlers. He has stated it a few times.

>>149867852
One of the spectators at the far right of the screen, the guy in the front row in the white shirt with the scarf, points right after Takayasu touches down and says "Takayasu touched" to his friend

>>149868694
I guess you better call a monoii and have it overturned then

sore ass loser

>>149865832
He didn't touch, even in your screenshot you can clearly see the shadow or his fingers above the clay.
Turn off your vpn.

>>149868694
>the guy in the front row in the white shirt with the scarf
Hey, that was me. When Takayasu touched down he said really loud "Oops! I touched the clay, you're not supposed to do that, hope I'm not in trouble" and when he swatted the sand the sand went flying and got all over my scarf. Later on after the matches were over I met Takayasu in the parking lot and complained to him about all the sand he got on my scarf and he told me to send him the dry cleaning bill.

>>149869923
this is true btw i was takayasu

Koga won again.
Whats the consensus on the possibility of Kyoda winning jonokuchi? Based yusho getter or cringe for being in your mid 20s and beating up on a bunch of 15 year old noobs?
Also there is a guy in Jonidan with the shikona Bigaznman

>>149870145
>Kyoda winning jonokuchi?
Kaki is probably the frontrunner this basho, Kyoda should at least get 6 wins though.

Watching the divisions below makushita reminds me that there are ex-sekitori where their chances of ever returning to their former glory have slipped away so long ago like Amakaze, Fujiazuma, Asanowaka , and Yoshiazuma.

Hidenoumi is back tonight. His wily veteran expertise will solve Kusano.

>>149867300
If Dewanoryu could just get his shit together Mitakeumi could retire.

>>149871415
>Dewanoryu
His performance in his last match last basho pissed me off. Not only did it let Daiamami get a win that staved off a potential demotion to makushita, but Dewanoryu showed basically no fighting spirit. Like dude, you are 3-3 and Ms2w and it's Daiamami, don't just give up when you're pushed to the tawara.

>>149867393
I don’t watch that degenerate loser because I’m not a lowlife scum sucker like you. I get my ABEMA stream right from the source without random twitch ads and filthy gaijin commentary.

>>149872085
the new mongolian kid looks big

How I feel if the current frontrunners were to win the basho.

>>149872124
>188 cm, 156kg
He's pretty large. Speaking of Mongolians, supposedly the JSA has made up their minds on Ochilsaikan; he's allowed to join Isegahama since they decided to not count Seihakuho as an Isegahama wrestler but a Miyagino wrestler under Isegahama's custody.
https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202507190001377.html
>>149872261
For me it's:
Takayasu, Ura, Fujinokawa
Atamifuji, Mitakeumi, Tamawashi
Aonishiki, Onosato, Kusano
Kirishima
Ichiyamamoto
Gonoyama, Kotoshoho
I don't mind any of them winning, but I prefer some of them more than others.

0-3 is the easiest road to KK

>>149872261
I'm an onosato diehard but honestly if Ura won somehow I'd be thrilled.

Hosh was robbed and we were robbed of a Onosato x Hoshoryu final.

>>149872261
I want Onosato to shine, but I don't mind seeing Kusano or Ura taking the spotlight.

>>149873497
the fuck you mean hosh was robbed he's the one who fucked off

>>149873809
Ref got it right in the abi fight Josh heel didn’t touch out

>>149873958
please post proof if you have it because it looked like a clear touchdown to me

>>149874001
takayasu also lost to aonishiki, refs have been terrible this basho

>>149874017
The refs have been great. Tak didn’t touch down and Josh didn’t either. Ref got it right both times, but the hosh decision was overturned.

>>149874095
no refs are bad they ruin everything i hate ref except for kimura kinosuke he has never made an incorrect call

this fucking shirt man ahah

>>149874602
chad shit

Sorry, what does this mean?

>>149874602
Imagine the same T-shirt but with Aonishiki's face and his signature raised eyebrow. The nuclear meltdown it would cause would be worse than Chernobyl.

>>149874785
Shonichi, first win after a losing streak.

what a bout goddamn

It's only a matter of time until Shimanoumi pulls just enough wins out of his ass to remain a sekitori. Congrats to Kitanowaka though, I think he just needs one more just to be sure.

this ref won't shut the fuck up

>>149875025
*pinches you*

has a gyoji ever smacked a rikishi with the gunbai?

>>149875138
I would be surprised if they did intentionally, but most likely has happened on accident when trying to get the fuck out of the way.

>>149875138
yeah there's a famous example of a gyoji spanking a wrestler over and over because he didn't like a call

It's bleak.

It's owari da for Onosato's friend.

I think Ross is absolutely fine, even Raja is bearable.
Hiro is pure hate.

What is the opinion of the "anti-hoshoryu" faction about Gonoyama (the first anti-hoshoryu)?

Is anyone uploading the basho like Natto did? I can't livestream, because I have to watch my 9 months old son and I want to watch this, when he is sleeping. The Russian bloke in the link in the OP is inactive since the last basho. I couldn't watch any sumo since they nuked Natto's discord.

>>149876340
If you're still wondering why Hiro uses "a" and "the" poorly, it's because only western European languages have those words, so Nips can't use them properly the same way we struggle with は and が.

Hiro sounds like a cowboy voicing a wrestling commercial, so I figure he has actually lived in the US or studied the language very well, only he focused on the wrong aspects, probably the aspects he thinks cool, like sounding like the guys in the movies.

We love a good katsu here.

Bitch got her utchari

Holy based

MOM GET THE FUCKING CAMERA!!!!!!

The matches today have been exceptional

She's gonna leave a wet patch on that chair.

>>149876483
the most soulful thing that could ever happen in sumo history

I can live in a world where either Kirishima or Wak are Ozeki's

not sure if Waka wasnt out at the 1st push-out-try

>>149876709
Kiri can get to 33 if he goes 14-1, but I wouldn't be shocked if they gave it to him on 32 because Onosato is a default loss and he's a former strong Ozeki.

wtf is going on with zak

ACK

JUST

Lost to that goofy ahhh mongol fuck

>>149876611
katsu pulled him down after he had already stepped out

kotozakura 'back to his best' glazing on comms gonna have to stop when he's 0-2 against sanyaku

I want to watch that Wak win over and over again today

Fucking clown basho.

The Beast of Reiwa strikes again

Tamawashi yusho is indeed happening

WHY DID HE EVEN GO BACKWARDS WHAT DID HE HOPE TO GAIN?

>my face
>my soul

KINBOSHI! FREE KINBOSHI!!!

Kusano, Ichiyamamoto, Tamawashi and Kirishima remain on top
choose your poison

APOLOGIZE

biggest guy in makuuchi pulls... dumbest idea ever. I'm ok with Onosato, but i don't think he is very skilled.

Nephew is regretting bowing out so early now

>>149876828
>Kisenosato: Onosato, you're very powerful, but if you think you're going to beat Hakuoho today, you're sorely mistaken... that traitorous Mongolian pig, Animal Sho, I can't even pronounce his name! He'll sneak up on you from behind while you're trying to push Hakuoho away, keep that in mind!
>Onosato tries to push an imaginary Hakuho away with his back
>loses

I can hear the circus approaching from the horizon...

My bet is still on kirishima, I believe. Altough I would have been happier if the 13-2 atamin Y prediction came true

Still gobsmacked at that wakatakakage bout.

Great match between Mita and Takarafuji
The old veteran couldnt stave off the fiery offense of the young phenom

>28% kinboshi rate
He's catching up to Nephew!

Any bets on the battle of the manlets tomorrow?
