>take a load of this guy cam

Tamawashi has a free win vs ACK tomorrow, and Kirishima can deliver another zabuton worthy performance as well against Onofraudo. the demon will henka Dan and Papayasu will gatekeep Ichiyamamoto... Tomorrow looks sexy

not a clown basho if tetsujin yusho

Reminder that Tamawashi has a 25% damage bonus against zoomers.

query gods
how many yokozunas would there be, if you'd need 3 consecutive wins

>>149901276 (OP)
how embarrassing

All the 8 and 9 win guys have tough match ups tomorrow. Things could get pretty interesting going into day 12. Perhaps a 3 or 4 way playoff to decide it sll?

>>149901314
Tamawashi dumping yokozoomer to his masters lap

>>149901326
it cannot get any better

>Back off, this is my yusho

>>149901303
Six*, if you maintain that only Ozeki wins count.
Amusingly enough, if you jacked the requirement to 4 consecutive, you'd only lose two of them

* Except that one of those in picrelated didn't even get the rope after 3 in a row. Tamanishiki in 1930 went JY-Y-Y-Y and was told to kick rocks at Ozeki, even though the sole Yokozuna retired in that last cup. So they went 2 more years without a Yokozuna, only to finally promote him after a fucking 7-4 in 1932. They just did things different back then

>>149901364
Actually, I'm retarded and didn't think about the fact that I just dropped out all three win streaks from zunas who wouldn't have been a zuna. Also nobody won exactly 3 starting from below O so the rank requirement doesn't matter, so then it's just picrelated at 14

>>149901442
nice list

>>149901326
>yokozoomer

>>149901351
>Last day kino incoming

>>149901679

>>149901679
Doesn't feel so good, does it?

The new meta for Yokozuna will be to start each basho with a pre-injury that you might (or might not) have during the basho: if things go well there is no injury, if things start to go badly you can abandon the basho with that excuse.

>M16 Mitakeumi in yusho contention? I know who can test him. We've got a man in juryo who's 6-3, that should do it.
>M15 Kotosho has been farming the bottomfeeders as well? Send in Churanoumi, we'll know if he deserves it then.
>M14 Kusano ALSO in yusho contention by size bullying manlets? Deploy URA.
I know the situation this basho is rough with so many kyujo and hurt rikishi, but surely you could give these guys at least someone in the joi at this point? Kusano and Mitakeumi have each other today at least which will filter one of them. I'd take Ichiyamayusho any day over double digit maegashira riding the likes of Tokihayate and Shishi to free yusho.

What the absolute fug is this basho? Spurdish basho!

>>149901679
Zoomerbros... It's over.

>>149901906
There's no need to worry about it, we have a dominant zuna now who will blast away shitters to an easy yusho

why are there no japanese posters in the sumo thread?
this may as well belong on the otaku board

>>149902039
I don't think any sane japanese would frequent /jp/ of all places

>>149902084
Nobody sane would go to /jp/.

>>149901276 (OP)
I still think Onosato is the favorite to win it all. It's going to be a three-way 12-3 playoff.

Onosato, Kirishima and Aonishiki. Onosato wins.

>>149902210
Bro... It's going to be a three-way playoff:
>Aonishiki vs Kusano
>Aonishiki wins

>Aonishiki vs Tamawashi
>Aonishiki wins (Tamawashi's heart explodes mid-match)

>>149902210
>I still think Onosato is the favorite to win it
I used to think that 3 days ago too

>>149902210
I really cannot wait to see the downfall of Kirishitma

Hey guys I just got here how was today's sumoAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA NATTO'S THUMBNAIL IS NOW FUCKING PERFECT LMAOOOO

So here's the official ranking of who has the highest chances to yusho.

1) Aonishiki
2) Kirishima
3) Ichiyamamoto
4) Tamawashi
5) Onosato

And I'm deadly serious. Before you call me a Dan dick rider remember, he's already faced the entire Sanyaku so is being fed shitters. Tomorrow he has Abi whose style feels like a poor matchup for someone as solidly grounded and strong on the belt as Aonishiki. The highest rank Kirishima has faced so far is Komusubi, and Onosato should be a default loss for him. Waka could go either way.

The problem with Ichi is there's only 5 days left and the Sanyaku are going to be too busy fighting each other to have much time for him. If he beats Takayasu tomorrow he's going at least 12-3.

>>149901906
>Ichiyamayusho
I hope he takes it, but it won't happen because we're not allowed to have nice things anymore.

>>149902419
>1) Aonishiki

he already fought the top-guys, only maegashitters around.
he has indeed the bestest chances.

>>149902419
Ichi will probably face Wakataka at some point who he's 2-1 against surprisingly. This is the problem when you have a tournament with effectively 5 sanyaku (and one of them is a hobbled Kotozakura); there's not enough guys to go around smacking down all the maegashira reaching above their station. We thought the last basho was a turning point for these kinds things to stop happening, but everyone besides Kirishima and Takayasu are underperforming or kyujo.

>>149901906
I think the problem is that there's too many guys still in contention so late in the game that there isn't enough time to put them in the Sanyaku's chanko bowl. Give it two days and the guys at 8-2 or better will have dwindled down to just two, maybe three.

>>149902558
>everyone besides Kirishima and Takayasu are underperforming or kyujo
Excuse me? Waka's 6-4 is perfectly fine for a Sekiwake, and Onosato not winning his debut was expected if we're being honest. He's still bouncing fatsos around on the whole. Maybe when Aonishiki claims his Komusubi spot next banzuke and Daieisho returns (hopefully not below M5e) things will get a bit more normal.

Maybe they're just tired of Takeru's shit and want to devalue his win by gifting another yusho to a rookie

>Shishi v. Chiyoshoma
Who will flop the hardest?

A picture says a thousand words.

>Here kid I brought you your star rikishi back

can somebody explain the entertainment value of two fat chinks slamming into one another? my interest is piqued but i wonder if its actually enjoyable to follow and watch

I don't like Sagari. They're ugly, and most rikishi don't seem to like wearing them.

>>149902663
>Zero weight classes, just a pure contest of strength and ability with a bunch of different viable styles of fighting
>Deeply ingrained in Japanese tradition, culture, and religion
>All sorts of storylines playing out
>The wrestlers are contractually obligated to be respectful at all times and not be loudmouthed dickheads like you get in basically every single other sport
>Between tournaments we get to watch Youtube slop content where fatsos train, cook, and eat

Here, have a sample of some of the finest slop ever produced. The Oshima sumo stable went to a water park and had a great day out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqh_upgoVOc&ab_channel=%E5%A4%A7%E5%B3%B6%E9%83%A8%E5%B1%8B%E3%80%90%E5%85%AC%E5%BC%8F%E3%80%91%E3%83%81%E3%83%A3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%8D%E3%83%AB%E3%80%90SUMO%E3%80%91

>>149902635
The viewers for watching such piss

If Ono loses to his next maegashitter he's officially worse than Horse.

>>149902787
Well he's gonna have to face two more since there's only three Sanyaku left for him to fight. Most likely it'll be Ichi plus one, but putting him against any of the other leaders just seems insulting. Give him Mitakeumi I guess, he used to be good.

They should give him Aonishiki again.

Kinbozo down

Grim

>>149902641
>Kisenosato is younger than Tamawashi
Lmao

>>149903022
How much is a kinboshi worth?

>>149903022
is a kinboshi supposed to be rare?

>>149902606
Waka is on track for a probable 9-6, which is a bit of a disappointment for him unless he turns it around from here. Onosato was expected to continue blowing the maegashira out and he's taken 3 losses. They're both underperforming, even if it's not hugely.
>>149902663
The bouts are explosive and there's a ton of them every day. There's so many wrestlers in the top division fighting every day and you can make a story out of any of them.

>>149903603
To show you the other end of the printer spectrum - Taiho and Hakuho gave away 28 and 26 respectively. So each had less than triple the amount of our current zunas combined.
Our zunas combined for 38 fights so far. Taiho did 700, Hakuho did 1000.

>>149901906
Relax. Day 12 will look something like
Onosato vs Ichiyamamoto
Tamawashi vs Kirishima
Kusano vs Takayasu
Mitakeumi vs Aonishiki
And then it will whittle down fast.

>>149902663
Occaisionally they pull off Pro Wrestling moves

>It's super strange and you won't understand any of what is going on at first. It's like watching an alien sport that is also a ritual
>There are barely any regulations, the guys get treated like slaves and are most certainly filled with all kinds of barely legal drugs to keep functioning until they are discarded
>Lots of drama from behind the scenes shit and typical Japanese seniority incompetence

>>149903644
I think Waka will take a 9-6. That puts him at 21 wins going into September and another shot at the 12 he needs for Ozeki.

>>149903509
It's about $1000 a month for the rest of your time in the JSA. And yes, they stack.

>>149903022
Counting this way is flawed because it doesn't account for Sanyaku size. It's better to look at winrates versus just Maegashira. That puts Onosato at a 37.5% kinboshi rate and Nephew at 38.1% if I'm counting right.

>>149904188
Are you not aware of what a kinboshi is?

>>149904212
A kinboshi is when a Maegashira rikishi beats a Yokozuna.

>>149904452
>You have to eat all the ramen

>>149904452
>No Onosato please stop, I beg of you, he's just a child!

day 9 recap, national holiday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=117lFBYh0KM

So Nabatame is out for the next 3-4 bashos for surgery and old man said he'd drop to Sandame; does that mean Nabatame has to move back into the stable?

looks like she's there in the front row again without mask. girl in purple prolly the mysterious lady who was in every event days

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuO7vO2-pTg

>>149901826
HOSH-BROS STAY WINNING

This truly is a fucking clown basho.

Do you think he gets asked what his shirt means and hes like
>anno... something like persevere through struggle

which one of the annual grand sumo event is the most prestigious to win?

like in golf Augusta is most important and in tennis Wimbledon is

>>149904738
That guy looks like an asian younger version of my dad or grandpa.
>>149904756
There are 6 grand tournaments every year that are equally important, and then smaller events that take place in between them. The small events don't normally get much coverage outside of Japan.

Gonna be a bunch of 8-2s picking up their third loss tomorrow. Kusano and Mitakeumi are facing off, plus Kirishima has Onosato. Ichi has Takayasu which I dunno man, could go either way. A guy finding his form versus old man strength.

>>149904832
i know there are 6 events, but typically in every sport some of the main events are more prestigious than others

Is a clown basho more fun than an expected one?

>>149904883
Irrelevant since this doesn't feel like too much of a clown basho. Everything more or less gone as expected, there's just one guy running hot into the second week but he'll get his losses. At least it's a guy people like.

This one is in the bag for Dan, not only does he have by far the easiest remaining schedule, but if they start putting him up against low ranking mægashira 'contenders' then thats only going to make it even easier for him.

wtf was Zak doing against Wakatakakoga? pacifism
>I'll give you infinite free tries to get me out
>no I won't fight back, lets see if I can take this one to the 2nd water break by just standing still and being heavy

>>149904756
>>149904881
If any basho is considered more prestigious then it would be the January basho, because it's the start of the new year, held in Tokyo, in peak tourist season. But there's no practical difference between the six besides sponsor money, and you don't hear anyone connected to sumo calling the January basho more prestigious, the most they do is something like "I want to start this new year strong."

>>149904923
Abi will be Dan's final test. Let's see what the yokai does, if anything

>>149904944
Can't nodowa someone whose face is in your nutsack. I don't think Abi has once defended his belt in his life, and I can't see Dan falling for a henka.

>>149904756
iirc the only time a basho is more prestigious than others is if the emperor is there
and even then that's a rare happening and only for one day

>>149904944
Has anyone tried to henka Aonishiki yet? I don't think a slap down henka has any chance of working but maybe a spin around the side one could. I wouldn't put it past Abi to do it to the young hotshot, especially this tournament.

>>149904974
Aonishiki doesn't tachiai hard enough for a henka to work. It's why Onosato blew him back so easily.

>>149901781
fuck why am I laughing so much

>"Easy"

>>149904939
that would make sense. augusta major starts golf season too in spring and is always same course

i just think it would be very cool if it was that some specific event like September Tokyo event

>>149904944
That bout will last 2 s at most. Abi immediately yeets either Aonishiki or himself.

>>149905008
Nah, Dan has no intentions of winning quickly. He's always trying to make fights as scrappy as possible to give himself chances to get the belt and start fishing for their legs. Abi seems willing enough to get into a slap fight that I can see it going that way.

>Start slapping
>Dan gets the belt
>"Heh, now what gaijiAAIIIIIIEEEEEE"

I will continue to focus on my style of sumo.

>>149904960
Eh, I expect him to use his anti ura tactics against Aonishiki.
Raise up at the tachiai without taking a step forward, place hands on the opponents neck/shoulders at a downwards angle and keep them off the belt and away from the legs.

>match starts
>forget whose wearing which color
>try my hardest to tell them apart
>no fucking clue
At least a third of all matches go like this for me. Does it get better with time?

>>149905244
Memorize hiragana and you can keep up on Abema streams and highlights.

>>149905244
Idk if it's partially from decades of video games but I can identify wrestlers by their sillouhette. Still took some time for sure.

>>149905021
He won't be in control at the tachi-ai, doesn't matter what his intentions are. From the raised position Abi will put him in (>>149904960 anon's right) he can either slap down or pull down. If Abi tries any other variation of his tachi-ai he's dead in the water. It could very well end up as a tsuppari exchange, though.

>>149905286
This is he answer.

>>149905404
Meant to say >>149905063 anon was right.

>>149905244
Makes me wonder if Asians in general are better at discerning facial details then us given how everyone they know has slanty eyes, darker skin, and black hair.

Everyone makushia 3 and down can pretty much guarantee themselves promotion with a win tonight except Mudoho who will need to win his last two and then still might not make it.

>>149905432
Nah, Asians can discern Asians well just like Europeans can discern Europeans well. Faced with what they aren't used to, both take a while to acclimate. Whites aren't any more vanilla (pun not intended). They have just as many, if not more, features. They're just different features, is all.

>>149905244
have you tried not being racist?

>>149905244
Pay attention to wrestlers that you actually like, and you'll eventually be able to pick them out. From there you'll eventually be able to distinguish the rest as well.

>>149905244
Half of the banzuke is Midorifuji to me

>>149906118
Everyone who's short can be Midorifuji, everyone who's rotund is Mitakeumi. The guy with the big eyebrows and shibainu apron is Takanosho, and the Wakabros have big traps. This is how I started watching sumo a year ago.

>>149905494
Japs have to give each anime character different colored hair and eyes to tell them apart but in IRL they all have the same hair and eye color.
In Europe everyone naturally has different colored hair and eyes.

>>149903022
meanwhile hakuho at like 2.5% with a 1000 bouts lmao
yokozoomers could never

>>149906960
I'm too lazy to calculate, but I would like to see kinboshi rates of a couple of great yokozunas and a couple of mediocre ones at this point in their careers, not now that all is said and done. They surely got better with time, no?

Also worth noting that we're at a historic low when it comes to sanyaku size and those stats don't divide by maegashira bouts but by all bouts.

>>149907108
Pick which ones you think are great and mediocre and I can run the numbers.
A few threads back I pointed out that Hoshoryu is so far back compared to everyone else's kinboshi rate after 21 bouts against maegashira, that he'd need 6 or so wins straight just to get out of the basement.

>>149907393
Here you go, numeru-san.
Great: Takanohana, Hakuho
Mediocre: Hokutoumi, Harumafuji

>>149905244
>Does it get better with time?
It does.

Any predictions for the sansho?
I'm guessing
>Outstanding Performance
Aonishiki (wow he beat an ozeki and a yokozuna!!!)
Tamawashi (he will get the yusho)
>Technique
Aonishiki (wow look at how consistent and strong his technique is!!! it beat an ozeki and a yokozuna!!!)
>Fighting Spirit
Tamawashi (old man award)
Kusano (mandatory debutant 10+ win kanto-sho)
Fujinokawa (mandatory debutant 10+ win kanto-sho)
Ichiyamamoto (he will probably jun-yusho and that's good enough)

>>149905244
Yes, after more than a year of sumo viewing I can now tell Asian faces apart.

>>149908234
I want Wak to win the technique solely for his utchari on Bozo the other day

>>149907108
>>149907944
At the 8-bout mark against maegashira, Hakuho, Hokutoumi, and Takanoha were all perfect, Harumafuji was 87.5% (7-1), and both Hoshoryu and Onosato are 62.5% (5-3).
At the 21-bout mark, Hakuho, Hokutoumi, and Takanohana were all 95.24% (20-1), Harumafuji was 80.95% (17-4) and Hoshoryu is now 61.9% (13-8).
Hakuho would continue to trend upwards for another 7 years before starting to decline, Takanohana would steadily decline until 1999 but still at a high win rate overall, Hokutoumi would have a strong year-long stretch in late-88/early-89 before declining, and Harumafuji would be pretty inconsistent but still never lower than 75%. Both Hoshoryu and Onosato have a lot of legwork to do just to catch up to the weakest yokozuna.

Just how many kinboshi this time?!

>>149903022
lol
lmao even

>>149908652
The ABSOLUTE state of modern day KWABozunas.

>>149904756
The one Trump shows up to.

>>149908788
If there's one possible silver lining comparison to Hoshoryu it's his own uncle: Asashoryu's worst was at match 23 when he had already given up his 7th kinboshi, but he got his head out of his ass and started becoming dominant before getting kicked out at around his prime, finishing with the 5th best kinboshi rate among JSA yokozuna. But Hoshoryu has already given up 8.

>>149908652
Onosato hasn't even finished his debut basho yet, you guys need to pump the brakes

>>149909330
So does 'sato. He needs to pump the brakes on that kinboshi printer he's running.

>>149909330
This is 4chan, there are no brakes.

>>149909330
The only one needing to "pump the brakes" is the shin yokozuna - on giving out kinboshi like hot cookies LMAO.

>A yokozuna dominating too fucking hard was not healthy

what happened to this

>>149909387
Can't imagine anyone would say that besides a newfag needing a dopamine rush. Ideally a yokozuna should utterly dominate.

>>149909387
There's too hard and not hard enough. The yokozuna walks a delicate tight rope.

>>149909408
Kill yourself, autismo.

>>149909330
He is in his 13th career professional basho so he is bound to still be a little rough around the edges and still be prone to making rookie mistakes like getting overly excited when it looks like he is about to win and then getting dodged at the edge. Hakuho had more career matches at ozeki or lower sanyaku when he became yokozuna than Onosato has in total career matches and Hakuho also had years of professional experience before making sanyaku.
So the comparison is weak and lacking in validity. Wait a few more years before you start comparing the two.

>>149908652
>>149908788
Damn, that's worse than I thought. Maegashira joi really are meant to be chewed and spit out.
>>149909408
Yeah, especially with the kind of competition that's crowding makuuchi right now. Despite the two yokozuna promotions, the power vacuum is still palpable.

>>149909387
I think there's a difference between "a sole yokozuna being so dominant you can count his total yearly losses on one hand" and "the most kinboshi by a yokozuna duo in history."

>>149909387
nahhh, Hakuko being so dominant is why his rare kinboshi hit so hard
huge crowd pops when it happened

>>149908540
The way Kinbozo put his hand down to break his fall was utterly shameless, zero fighting spirit.

>>149909381
Funny you should say that

is there padding outside the rink on the floor.

like the lower spectator floor where they sometimes drop blidnly

>>149909577
Yes.

>>149908540
Me too. Not sure what they value more, rarity or quantity. Is 1 utchari worth more than 2 uchimuso? Either way, more than one rikishi can get the same prize, so hopefully they both get one.

check out this hakuho fight, wtf

Yes.

Supotsu Nippon has 7 articles about sumo today, none about Ichiyamamoto

>>149909711
well done Yasuseiniki

B-But I want him to win. That's not fair.

>>149903022
onosato is in his literal first tournament as yokozuna, but he has the bodywork to become an all time great
his kinboshi rate will drop dramatically as he progresses
hoshoryu on the other hand is still in his ozeki state and turns out, he hasn't turn a leaf at all, so he's just gonna continue being a kinboshi ATM

>>149902210
ichiyamamoto yusho
clown basho confirmed

>>149909874
In terms of kinboshi given up, Onosato is currently on the worst yokozuna debut (not including Hoshoryu) since Tochinoumi in 1964, and unlike Hoshoryu he doesn't have the excuse of being injured.

>>149909711
Is 8-7 from M1 guaranteed promotion no matter what? Does the slot autism only start at S?

>>149909944
8-7 from M1e is guaranteed promotion to a Komusubi slot
it is not guaranteed from M1w

>>149909944
Specifically M1e yes, a M1w at 8-7 will just get bumped up to M1e if there isn't a komusubi slot. Sekiwake is when it gets harder, with 11+ wins needed to force an extra spot outside of extenuating circumstances.

Unless they decide to go back to the '60's

>>149909964
>Sekiwake is when it gets harder, with 11+ wins needed to force an extra spot
Apparently that also seems to hold true for M1e with 12 wins moving you up to S2 if no S1s are available, but its a pretty small data set, only happened 6 times and 12 wins is the highest an M1e has scored. The M1w chads have managed 13 wins 5 times

>>149910020
>that's a nice record gaijin, fastest sanyaku promotion since the 50s
>but if you're going to go back in time like this, so can we :^)
It won't happen because he still has to claim his destiny of guaranteed double digit wins, but it would be funny

Idiot.

is it just me or did they get the match between takerufuji and chiyoshoma wrong? I just started watching full tourneys so i don't know if I have a misunderstanding. do they give less benefit of a doubt to a rikishi that is losing?

all the -oumis blend together for me

>>149910839
you'll never notice hidenoumi until you're a seasoned vet sumo fan

>>149911264
Can't not notice him once you realize he's Tobizaru's brother.

>>149905244
It gets easier if you watch beyasloppa on daily basis.

>>149902663
Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cN9snHWCRA

Sumo has everything from great technique, raw power, and straight up bitch choking and bitch slapping. No weight classes. Great match ups. NO NIGGERS. Much respect.

One of the best combat sports on the planet.

This is already the 7th thread of this basho, so it looks like /sumo/ will be cracking double digit basho thread count for the first time ever. Two years ago a basho was a 5 thread affair, how come its become so much more popular recently?

>>149911303

>>149911309
Rebounding from the end of Hakuho/pandemic lull

>>149911309
It's the beya slop of course, what else

besides sumo forum and reddit, both of which have notable downsides, this is really the only place to talk about sumo in english

>>149903603
>is a kinboshi supposed to be rare?
Yes. Only the maegashira are eligible, and they're not supposed to be competitive with yokozuna, so victories against them should be exceptionally rare. Only other yokozuna, ozeki, and proven sanyaku are supposed to be competitive with yokozuna.

>>149911417
Tamawashi and Oho are both former sanyaku
Hakuoho is definitely going there

Abi and Wakamotoharu are both former sanyaku
Aonishiki is definitely going there

>>149911482
Creepy

>>149904756
>most prestigious to win?
They only make a big deal out of it if it's a "hometown" win for the rikishi.

>>149905244
>Does it get better with time?
Yes. Just like with anybody else, you'll start to recognize individual characteristics, styles and mannerisms.

>>149911588
…at which point you'll start to become frustrated with the camera work because the replay doesn't have any angles which shows the minor detail that you were hoping to see and you won't be able to sleep because you'll be too animated wondering about exactly where Gonoyama placed his left big toe after the tachiai

We should really love the maegashira who win them.

>>149904212
He's only done 10 bouts as yokozuna, 3 of which are against sanyaku.
If you really wanted to count his kinboshi ratio, he'd be at almost 43% from dropping 3 losses to the 7 potential kinboshi candidates.

>>149911939

It must suck for anyone in low juryo with MK because there are so many eligible makushita wrestlers that will replace you if you can't salvage enough wins.

ayo that guy doesn't have the haircut
is that allowed

>>149913856
You wear what you got.

>>149913856
You grow out your hair until it's ready to have a topknot. He's new enough where his hair hasn't grown out yet.

That fight felt like it was in slow motion.

>>149913881
this is a disgrace for the honorable sport of sumo

>>149913931
Leave moriurara alone :(

>>149913931
He works very hard to bless the jonokuchi division.

>>149913961
on that subject, are there bald wrestlers?

Onosato, or ohnosato as I like to call him, is a fraud and not a real Yokozuna.
I bet he doesn't even like chanko, he might even prefer n*tto

>>149914004
A cue ball with alopecia. Yes.

*ties Mawashi loosely to "accidentally" get undressed mid match*
How embarrassing would that be, haha ;)

At least Ryuden had enough patience to not bowl over the gyoji in that final push.

Day 11: Yutakayama

This meatball is going back to juryo.

No day 12 matchups yet?

I know it's sumo, but damn, Kayo is so fat. He looks like a ball of cheese.

wow that was clean

Kusanooooo

Man, Kusano is definitely legit.
Good Sumo.

Very impressed with Kusano

Kotoeiho, think of all the claps and cheers you get for being so flexible, you can't fall back down to Juryo. Stop losing to jobbers

Does Takanosho have downs?

This guy seriously looked like Ozeki material this match.

lad has a stiffy :)

Obaachan's love them some Atamifuji

rooting for my boy chiyoshoma. he's got this this time for sure. I believe.

They already had a good portrait for Fujinokawa yet the JSA decided to take one where he's covered in tape and bandages and use that one instead...

Is it time...

IT'S ICHIYAMAOVER

>Kusano and Kotoshoho now enter straight into the sanyaku fun bus
I mean it was bound to happen, but it's still funny seeing them go from picrelated to K/S matchups, their highest fight before was fucking Ura

Get ready to see zabutons fly. I did it in May, I'll do it again today

what a beautiful move by wtk

lmao he almost crushed Zak.

no..... tom............

This wasn't how it was supposed to end....

Tamawashibros... not like this...

Ah, that's most likely the yusho race done for him

THIS DOES NOT SLI-

slippy

I-It was the salt! Too much salt!

Kotozakura expertly trapped the dohyo with his salt ritual

>>149914619
Tamawashi still has a chance, but he needs to win his match tomorrow to derail the yusho race.

I see Atamifuji sneakily at 8-3, I missed this cuties record. There's a world where upsets happen all over tomorrow and either him or Mitakeumi join the yusho race

>>149901351
>>149901655
>>149914631
Alea jacta est

HOLY SHIIIITTTT!!!! CLOSE CALL!!

Onosato had to manhandle Kirishima from that position

He will crash this basho with no survivors.

I can smell that sweet 11-4 yusho playoff incoming

>we can have 9 people tied for the race tomorrow (two of the 8-3 fight each other)
Come on Tom, do the funny

KiriSHITma will never be ozeki

>>149914648
If he gets more than 8 this basho that will he his best record in over a year. Proof that getting bullied by terunofuji works

>>149914675
What drives him? At 40, he could have retired a long time ago

>>149914825
you know no other life

>>149914825
I am pretty sure, once he gets injured or drops down to Juryo, he will retire.
But as long as he has his results, why retire?
a) after being over 20 years in the sumo-world, he doesnt know anything else
b) he can still gain some records

>>149914825
Every basho he breaks another attendance record just by showing up. He's no. 4 right now, IIRC. Probably wants to be no. 1 at this point.

>>149915121
if he keeps a good record, next basho maybe he will be the oldest ever promoted sanyaku

Can Mita play in Makuuchi in September with a J11 Yusho?

>>149914825
Spite

>Onosato didn't just pull and give up after failing to blast the opponent out within 0.3 seconds

Did his Yokozuna spirit awaken?

>>149915546
Kusano won juryou at J14 with 14-1 and was put J1 the next basho.. Mita would have to do 13-2 yusho and then maybe, maybe.. but with his thumb still taped up, i'm not sure he can do 13-2.

Lads regrettably I can only watch highlights on YouTube, does that make me a permanent casual

>>149915699
if you watch only makuuchi then yes

>>149915634
Yeah. Definitely not as confident on the belt, but he can actually do it. I really hope he picks up more technical stuff as he grows. As is, the only interesting thing about his fights are the clever ways in which other rikishi defeat him.

I'm enjoying this basho so much I don't even mind whoever wins.

I don't think this will happen, but it would be pretty funny if there were a fourth kinboshi.
Onosato>>Ichiyamamoto
Kirishima>>Kotozakura
Wakatakakage>Kusano
Takayasu>>Kotoshoho
Aonishiki>Tamawashi

>>149916147
I think Kisenosato might force him to commit seppuku if he gives another gold star away.

>>149916162
I think Kise would do the old tried and true method if Onosato got 4 right after Hosh broke the record with 3. 2 sake bottles up the ass.

>>149915925
Agreed

>>149914825
Because he gets paid alot of money to do this? If he's still good enough to stay in the salaried ranks, why would he quit?

>>149917179
He said last basho that this is the most fun he's had wrestling in a good while and he was very fired up to fight Daiesho to put him off his ozeki run. It's no suprise the taker of elbows gets satisfaction playing spoiler for other rikishi.

>why do you like Takayasu?

it's that damn pic the NHK uses on the highlights show before the bout starts, his expression just amuses me to no end.
Could someone post it if they have it please?

>>149917290
He's a funny looking guy.
>deadpan apathetic gaze
>neck substantially thinner than round face
>tons of body hair when everyone else is nearly smooth
It was very easy to pick out Takayasu when I was getting started watching. Jomon genes when everyone else is mostly Yayoi.

>>149917290
I liked her bear-pose few years ago. unfortunately he discontinued to show it.

>>149909554
Really needs an edit so he's throwing (You)s.

>>149914518
This is literally exactly what I said would happen >>149904960 >>149904980. You can't henka and you can't nodowa. It'll get scrappy then Dan will win.

onosato lost like 3 times before he won
he is him

Onosato is guaranteed two more Maegashira this basho, and those are guaranteed to be the ones running hot with the best chance of beating him. 5 kinboshi is possible.

>>149917805
Imagine a world with a 10-5 that are all kinboshi. Now there's a debut that could never be topped.

how did red actually win here, isn't it first guy to touch the ground outside loses?

>>149914233
Kusano has fought nobody so far, all he has proved is what we already knew, that he is good enough beat manlets and borderline juryo cases.
Pitted against those in the joi range and even slightly below he will get destroyed. Anyone mildly competent and slightly bigger than him beats him, he even had trouble with Mitakeumi who is shorter but heavier. He is pretty much about good enough to make and hold m8-m10 or so, anywhere above that and he won't be able to KK

>>149917896
If the other rikishi is in an unrecoverable position, you can put your hand down to soften your landing and still win.
This rule is easily the most inconsistently applied in all of sumo, but it's there.

>>149917896
He only touched down to break his fall and prevent potential injury. Shishi is in a completely unrecoverable position.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shini-tai

>>149917917
>>149917918
interesting...

>>149914525
Tamawashi is the not quite the model of guy who gives Dan trouble, but is pretty close to it. His reach doesn't seem like it's quite long enough to be able to keep Dan off the belt as surely as Kinbozan was capable of.

Remember, this is Dan's first time fighting at this level, and fighting the way he's been doing this basho (being an ankle biting fuck).

>>149917953
Aonishiki has more trouble with the guys much bigger than him and are sturdy and forward moving. Tamawashi is all of those, but he's also inflexible and not great in a grapple. I give the nod to Aonishiki but it's not a free fight for him. He does have potential to lose it. 60-40, 65-35, somewhere in there.

>>149915685
He is already 8-3

Oh damn I blinked and missed Mita getting his 8th win. Expect him to go kyujo before he breaks his hand.

Looks like Asakouryu's younger brother Ishizaki and 'Pussy Slayer' Asanoyama are set to enter Juryo next basho.

>>149918041
Takasago's mong is going to get promoted too

>>149918041
>Asanoyama
I want to believe. A lot of the time I feel like grinder at the top of makushita is stiffer competition than juryo.
>Ishizaki
>172cm
When will they learn?

>>149917290
started watching while he was an Ozeki
always liked his pre-match routine and fighting style
he wasn't a bitch like Goeido

>>149917973
Don't worry, next basho Aminishiki will make him do another obscure style instead

Sometimes when I'm standing around I slap my waist like the sumos slap their mawashi, it makes a satisfying sound

>>149902663
Old religious ritual, the manliest shit still allowed to exist.
And this >>149911303
The likes of Midorifuji, Ura, etc, manhandling the giant faggot Hokuseiho, you love to see it.
>NO NIGGERS
You love to see that as well. It's (mostly) Japs competing against eachother in a Jap sport, so it's not meaningless slop like European football were everyone is an African nigger.
Niggerzuchido just needs to stay in the back of the bus.

In less than 24hrs Dan will have sole possession of the lead and he will never relinquish it. Possible sansho sweep for him too. Him and possibly Takayasu as well will be in the S2 slot next 'sho.

If Kotoshoho wins the yusho will Kotozakura have to carry the flag for him?

>>149918503
might as well be asking about shishi winning, its already over, dan has won

>>149918552
dan still has to face his most fierce opponent to date....it's not over until then...

>>149918571
>5-2 against the S*nyaku
>"But he hasn't faced Ichiyamamoto yet!!1!"

Nishikifuji injured his bussy

>>149918580
It's objectively true that he hasn't faced the other three leaders yet.

>>149918603
Calling someone "fierce" for bullying low Maegashira is ridiculous.

>>149918628
Maybe they aren't, but the Golden Spear of Ireland, Snatcher of Elbows, Bringer of Kyujos BIG TOM WASH?

>>149918666
The slipper on salt

>>149918580
correct, he's doomed

Can't believe Ichiyamato beat Onosato. Four kinboshi in one tournament is shameful.

>>149918836
Thank you for the heads up, time travel-kun

I tried watching sumo without posting here or looking at these threads for the last two days
It was a lot more enjoyable that way
You guys should try it

>>149919224
I did that myself for a few days and you're right. Then I felt a terrible urge to shitpost about sumo.

>>149919224
This. Everything is better when you don't see any anti-Dan posting.

>>149919300
On the contrary, it's exact spam that makes these threads unpleasant. Not to mention the constant paranoid shrieking about this mysterious "anti-Dan" that nobody has ever seen.

>>149919224
I was wondering why the threads felt better the last couple of days

>>149919356
>anti-danfag once again gaslighting the thread
Shame.

>>149918503
I imagine he'll get his brother to do the honours... Not that he will win, though.

anyone got the nattosumo graphics explanation saved somewhere?

>>149919356
>it's exact spam that makes these threads unpleasant
What kind of spam? I find these threads very comfy. Not as fast as a /vg/ threads, but not as dead as /po/. Of course, there are a lot of ironic shitposting and people posting low-effort bait, but that's part of the 4chan culture.
>Not to mention the constant paranoid shrieking about this mysterious "anti-Dan" that nobody has ever seen.
Of course this "anti-Danfag" doesn't exist. It doesn't need a big brain to know that this is just a way to make fun of people who complain about Dan every time he wins.

>>149919723
Maybe you should discuss it with your colleague here then >>149919415

>>149919400
Yeah? Then go back 3 days and pick out ONE post that's mine, if they're so obvious. Just one. Go ahead.

Man, you guys are just cunty assholes. What the fuck is wrong with you all?

I can't believe Midorifuji hasn't gotten a single katasukashi all basho. Is he playing it safe, because of last time? Will he not try it until he's back to wearing red?

>>149920059
>Midorifuji can only unlock certain kimarite depending on his mawashi color
Holy fucking kino

>>149919897
>anti-danners chimped out and ran away screaming from the thread when dan destroyed all of their cringey fantasies and hopes for a dan MK
absolutely beautiful, only makes me like dan even more. I wonder how many of the anti-dan twats will full out 41% themselves when dan grabs the cup.
dan is magical, not only is he making sumo great again, but he is even curing the cancer that plagues spee.

Tom has a good shot at sanyaku for Aki, probably a record for oldest sanyaku. Dude is going to be in the salary ranks until he is 50. Will they force him to retire at 65 like they do with the Oyakatas if he is still wrestling at 65?

why is Kotozakura still an ozeki? since January ,when I started to watch the full highlights, he is just meh

>>149922585
because you really have to suck as an ozeki to get demoted, you need 2 losing records in a row and even then you can get repromoted in the next tournament with at least 10 wins

>>149922585
cause he can't win two 'shos in a row

>>149922585
You need to be exceptionally good to make it to ozeki, which is why they get more leeway.
Unfortunate you only started in January, because he went 14-1Y in November and looked like the next yokozuna.

>>149922977
>Unfortunate you only started in January, because he went 14-1Y in November and looked like the next yokozuna.
whatever injury he had has completely wrecked him

>>149923519
Consensus seems to be it's that knee again. Never had it resolved properly so as to not lose ozeki, Next Terunofuji in the making right there, except he probably just quits the moment he loses ozeki.

Why did Takayasu feel the need to wind up and kick Ichiyamamoto in the head after beating him last night?

>>149923706
He needed to teach him a lesson

>>149918666
Before the basho is over, you'll say my name, Satan.
>"Dan is the real deal!"
>"He's legit"

But you'll say my name.

onosato is going to lose today

>>149923706
Same reason why Abi felt the need to drag Dan's face into the ground when he was already being ejected from the dohyo, to set up the pre-planned yusho winner

>>149923863
I will never call Aonishiki Dan. I'd sooner think up a different nickname. Also I'm the same poster that said Aonishiki is like 60-65% to win, but damnit I want to believe in Tom.

I haven't been keeping up with the basho because I was traveling and didn't have wifi. Now that I'm all caught up, I'd like to say HAHAHAHAHAHA KWAB

>>149923706
GAIJIN OUT

>>149924149
You might want to catch up to the rest of them, there's plenty of kwabbing going around

>>149923706
seems like you could hurt your foot pretty bad kicking a guy in the skull barefoot, he must've been really pissed to do that

It somehow happened again, the JSA decides to replace a wrestler's photo with one straight out of a rough match.

shunta on deck

Shunta KK (King Kong if you are new to sumo)

shunta kk on a nice throw
kid is enormous for a 15 year old, looks like kotoshogiku slumming it in jonidan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is-FbwpooKU
I still can't believe Koga got his KK with a sotogake.

my reaction to possible basho winners

>>149926769
Wait, Atamifuji is 8-3? I thought he was barely scraping by wtf was I watching

>>149926790
He snuck up on people because he had a bad start and looked awful, then I imagine Teru got the golf club out and set him straight.

>Futagoyama has to announce a hansoku on his own deshi.

if atami makes it to a playoff I hope he gets henka'd and loses again. going MK for a year and then yushoing from M14 after beating up on manlets and cripples for the first week and a half is not a valid way to get a championship. just imagine how shitty sumo would become if everyone was trying to use that cheat code.

n-word ikazuchido lost
he now has zero chance of makushita promotion

He'll get back there.

>>149924149
>one yokozuna pulls out because muh toe
>other jobs to a 40 year old.

>>149921673
The JSA doesn't force Oyakata to retire at 65; the Japanese government does. It's their legal retirement age. So yes, Tamawashi would be forced to retire if he were still fighting at 65.

>>149926250
Damn that was actually a sweet fight from Koga.

>>149927350
Wait, you're literally not allowed to work in Japan after you turn 65? lmao

65 is age until you have to work, after that it's up to you. They will increase it to 70 soon, just like many other countries do.

Also, that fuckface tohakuryu is so disgusting, hate that guy, it's hatakikomi or nothing, what a jobber

The end is near...

>>149925278
rough match with what? Birdshot?

Nishikigi has now made the juryo yusho race more interesting.

The chinese dragon has fallen.

Day 12: Kyokudozan

I haven't followed sumo in around ~4 years, who's the king of KwaBoban now? I miss Goeido and Geeku

>>149927676
nobody atm but Kotozakura is probably on the bubble for becoming that depending on how his body holds up

knot grab?

lol baka gyoji

I was wondering why they don't get it wrong more often, my birdbrain ass can't keep track of who came from where half the time

>>149927714
they're doing it for years, also you can just remember the rikishi on east side (your right hand as gyoji) and should be easy.

when will they learn

shitshit KWAB

knot grab? (again)

nvm, couldn't even beat a manlet fairly

>>149927736
this time yes, easy midori KK

*confused homo neanderthal noises*

>about to be relegated to juryo by a hansoku

Shishibros...

>youtube streams got nuked
>decide to check if anyone survived
>find this
these guys are alright

go to your hohol shithole shitshit

>>149927757
Gee I wonder why... It's almost like someone is reporting other restreams just to get more viewers.

>"NO TAKANOSHO DO NOT KILL HIM FOR THE LOVE OF TAKAKEISHO IT IS NOT A DEATH FIGHT!!!"

>ZAY!
>MAH!
>NAME!

>>149927764
who is?

>>149927764
wouldn't surprise me, they got 1000+ viewers just from that.

shishi might still avoid relegation just because there aren't all that many strong scores in the upper ranks of juryo

>>149927762
he is russian

>he is rushin' his ass back to juryo
fix*d

ok my boy chiyoshoma has it this time

Fuck you Japan, why do you have to nuke every stream I watch, I don't want to watch that faggot Midnight.

>>149927822
he fucking better.

>>149927844
trust the plan...shoma bro

double henka please

I hope Onosato and Tom wins today, it would make the final days super tense

kayo almost bounced like a basketball when he hit the ground

>>149927835
I do wonder how his stream hasn't gotten nuked yet. He definitely has the most viewers out of all of them. Even had twitch staff in his channel.

>>149927860
I laughed out at that audable plap as he fell

>>149927835
Leo's second channel has no commentary

Bless you. I hope your favourite rikishi's wins today

rip takeru, .. 5-7 with that bicep..looks like it's MK this time

Oh no, the MK is coming and he'll definitely kyujo next basho. It's Asanoyama all over again.

Daily reminder to always wash your Tama :)

Not a wonderful day for Futagoyama.

I'm calling it, Atamifuji yusho

MINI!?

HOLY SHIT! KINO KINO!

Love me Ura. Simple as.

First kachi-koshi since September for the lil pink fella.

boomerbros...

10wins, who's gonna stop him lol, he'll maybe lose in playoff if there's any

impressive, very nice

>>149928064
Aonishikino

that trip attempt was fucking aggressive

Maybe shogi is more your speed, grandpa.

Aonishiki with a real chance to jump straight to sekiwake, methinks.

>>149928081
We're gonna have 4 sekiwake next basho at this rate

Damn he made elder stock out of him

For the sake of the yusho entertainment, Tamawashi winning would've have made it more likely that a big group would have been tied going into tomorrow, but Aonishiki is far too impressive this basho, and he's still not out of it yet. The end of this week will be amazing

>>149928081
Sekiwake?! The JSA is going to grab Kotozakura by his fat four tits and send him straight to Maegashira 5 and give Aonishiki the rank of Ozeki.

Damn, first yusho looking close for Aonishiki. Who can he get for the next days? Atami, kusano, kotoshoho? Don’t really see any of them beating him

Bozo the clown

>name is literally taMAWASHI
>helpless as soon as opponent gets the belt

rip bozo

>>149928098
Everyone looks terrified of letting him grab their belt.

>>149928098
Uhh well.. you see.. the uh..
>*shits mawashi*

How much do you think my autographed Aonishiki card will be worth after he wins this basho?

>>149928124
$0 because he ain't winning lil bro

kusano has had the easiest run of maegashitters to farm to 9-2

KEK 2-10. What a shit komusubi. Well done HEROdeumi

PAPA'S IN THE HOUSE

How many chokes are up we to lads? I don't think I can stomach another.

Right now the entire sanyaku is working for Aonishiki to defeat any other challengers.

>>149928150
he's already ruling over them with an iron fist

*loses*

KWAB

Woof

get ready for the GOLDEN STAR!!!

welp

>>149928150
Or are they?

i dont know why i ever expect anything from him

takefraudsu

We getting three men playoffs again?

more like Kusono :)

kusano sisters...

As expected

Ozeki run status?

>>149928249
Delayed.

>>149928249
Two more weeks

>winner with green mawashi Kotozakura giving water to green mawashi Ichiyamamoto
>loser Kirishima giving water to Onosato

Bros...

KiriSHITma will never be ozeki

>>149928265
too late

heard onosato ate pork last night

OH NO sato

onosato has gone full retard

Oh my days

wha happend

I have no words for how retarded this guy is

No fucking way he just tried to pull Ichiyamamoto

>move forw-
Oh nvm...

Apologize to Hosh right now.
Right
fucking
now

bro trying his hardest to fuck up

You big lumbering oaf... MOVE FUCKING FORWARD

please be torinaoshi

kinboshi status: dispensed

Should be a rematch i think

>>149928297
he's pulling just too many times. even 1 pull per basho is too many for yokozuna

>torinaoshi
>onosato lose again
>double kinboshi

HOLY DISPENSER...

REMATCH BROS

Try not to fuck it up this time

Ichiyamamoto should henka.

Torinaoshi in the hopes that the kinboshi dispenser stops. The JSA can't keep paying these out at this rate

>>149928300
Sybau no one is apologizing to that kinboshi dispenser

SLURRRRRRPPPP

HOLYYYY SHIIT! ABUNAI ABUNAI!

Damn... for a second... but no.

LOLOLOL too close

Kinboshi status: revoked

Apologize to Onosato right now.

he nearly fucking did it again

Huh

what the FUCK was that

>>149928343
No he didn’t retard

>>149928349
Yes he did, fartface

>>149928349
Blind? He tries to slap down with his right as he moves back

>>149928349
retard

Gyoji got in the way. I'm calling monoii.

I think Onosato won the first time, desu. Leg on the tawara, the other in the air, while Ichiyamamoto's knee/thigh touches. Still not a great showing from him, though.

What the hell is going on in Onosato's head? I understand why some rikishi, like Ura, whose win condition is absolute chaos, make strange moves; but Onosato?! Does he just have to walk in a straight line right after the tachiai? And that's not even hyperbole; it's literally how he ALMOST won the previous basho with zensho yusho: by walking in a straight line.
Is he embarrassed that his sumo is so... boring? "untechnical"? Or is he just being an idiot for the sake of it?

So what's the ruling for when one rikishi pushes the other out while being pulled down like that? Do they look at the time the one pushing touches down vs the time the one pulling walks the dohyo?

>>149928394
he's just trying to showcase his brand of sumo

>>149928395
Can’t jump at the edge it’s almost always grounds for a dead body

>>149927764
you wont belive me but i am the host of that show
im the only stream that tired to avoid copywrite strikes and have for years, leo, sumo family, ect will get notifications of who sent them so you can ask them yout self
you are literally brazilian, kill your self

So... Day 13 Aonishiki vs Kotoshoho

>>149928478
>you wont belive me but i am the host of that show
don't care, didn't ask
>im the only stream that tired to avoid copywrite strikes and have for years, leo, sumo family, ect will get notifications of who sent them so you can ask them yout self
nmp
>kill your self
you first

>>149928479
Is it really? I thought they maybe delay it to day 14/15 for extra show

>won
>won
>lost

>>149928618
Stop noticing things, goyim.

Just post day 13 matches already

DAY 13 AONISHIKI VS ICHIYAMAMOTO

>>149928618
was it the same 5 shimpan every match?

>>149928618
sloppy job JSA, some questionable calls this basho.

>>149928342
for what? he's pulling like maegashira and almost lost torinaoshi as well. I just wonder what he'd do if he would give away 4th kinboshi, with no signs of injuries..

>>149928776
there are no sets of shimpans, they always change.

>>149928618
Onosato's foot was still on the tawara when Ichiyamamoto fell; I was seriously thinking for a bit that it was going to be an outright reversal of the gyoji's call.

>>149928857
Yeah, me too. Definitely not dead body.
>>149928479
That'll be fun.

>>149929081
wrong, it was dead body

>>149929160

Man, I wish sumo was shot at a high framerate again. All sports should default to 60 minimum, imo.

>>149929831
I think you can actually see one frame where Onosato is no longer touching and Ichi hasn't landed yet, but at this point I'm not even sure what the ruling is supposed to be here

>>149928479
>>149928617

Ichiyamamoto and Onosato both look very naked without their sagari in torinaoshi

>>149928394
Maybe he has Hosh's problem of underestimating maegashira?

Ichiyamamoto actually THANKED Onosato after the bout. You can hear him in the video
https://youtube/shd39fJxg7k?si=xYPMIh2jw74ATlaU&t=183

>>149930210
ASK NOT THE SPARROW HOW THE URA SOARS!

>>149930581
Fuck I fucked the link up
https://youtu.be/shd39fJxg7k?si=xYPMIh2jw74ATlaU&t=183

>>149930210
I was just about to ask for a picture of Ura flying

Sorry that I'm late, but here it is. Bon appétit!

>>149931058
what the fuck happened to that katsu

>>149931058
Looks like shit wouldn’t eat it.

>>149929746
dead body

>>149931058
dead chicken

would eat

ignore the burgers, they need a tub of butter and a large serving of hfcs with every meal

>>149931725
>>149929160
Dead body only allows the other guy to put a hand down or step out for safety. Ichiyamamoto was himself already going down before Onosato was out. Torinaoshi was the right call.

Good morning anons.

>>149928618
If you wanna be even more annoyed, go watch Ichi v Takeru from a couple basho ago. Exact same thing happened but it was Ichi going out, and the win was given to Takeru with no monoii when it was really REALLY clear that Takeru touched first.

So what do you guys think the solution is to Aonishiki? Thrusting is difficult due to his low stance, despite that stance he's extremely difficult to slap down, and he's skilled on the belt. It seems like the only solution anyone has found so far is blasting him out with yorikiri, but that requires you to be strong enough to do so (Onosato).

>>149932082
You are allowed to kick above the waist, so the solution is to wait for him to get low enough and then step on his back.

>>149932082
The solution is to stop being a fatso who charges and slaps mindlessly, and actually put some thought into what you're doing and why you're doing it. Everyone is too set in their muscle memory fatslapping ways, and Aonishiki is disrupting the whole thing just by using a little brainpower. His loss against Takayasu was arguable since even Kisenosato thinks Takayasu's hand went down, so his only true loss this basho is from THE overwhelming force in sumo.

The guy is fucking nuts, and you won't beat him if you go in mindlessly.

Day 13, the day dreams die.

>>149911694
>at which point you'll start to become frustrated with the camera work
With all of our national differences, we have this in common.
t. angry and wide awake in America

>>149932082
In the taichi go leapfrog him and knock him down

>>149928478
So who's been taking down all the streams?

>>149932871
Probably Midnight's mods doing mass reporting.

>>149932082
I think Aonishiki will dominate quite a bit for now because: 1. He's too young; 2. He's fearless.

Right now, Aonishiki must be feeling like the "Alexander the Great" of sumo. Nothing prevents other rikishi from opting for unconventional moves (and therefore difficult for your opponents to predict), but everyone has gotten used to the belly fight of pushing with your gut or dropping onto your opponent, tiring them out with your enormous weight. No one thinks, "Hey, I'll attack his knees." Ura is also a lower back wrestler, always crouching, but more prone to jumping (?) than Aonishiki.

As long as Aonishiki isn't afraid to do something improvised and surprising against his opponents, isn't injured, and isn't King Kong (Onosato) his opponent, he'll find a way to defeat them.

>>149933059
>isn't injured
That's the big one though, isn't it. I don't see this style lending itself to longevity, he already gets domed multiple times per basho like vs Abi

>>149932339
How the fuck is Atami at 9-3?

>>149933089
Hopefully he gets as high as possible before it piles up. Both ozeki and yokozuna get some priviledged kyujo time.
>>149933131
Dropped in rank until he was low enough to KK.

>>149933131
Teru has been refining his disappointed glares and Atami has responded well to the training.

>>149933219
Please go and tell Zak that Ozeki can sit out for a basho and just go kadoban. 7-8 and 0-15 are functionally identical as an Ozeki.

>>149933131
You mean this bashos champion, Atamifuji?

>incredibly successful at going forwards
>goes backwards
Genuinely, what was Onosato thinking in that first match?

>>149933421
>AAIIIIEEE I CAN'T COMPETE WITH ICHIYAMAMOTO'S PUSHING POWER!!!

>>149933437
Truly, he is the number one yamamoto

>>149933496
Historically there's been 3 guys with the shikona Yamamoto who reached Komusubi, so I'm afraid he's not quite the #1 Yamamoto yet.

>>149933421
>go forward
>nope
>fuck
>what other options exist
>…backwards?

Has Onosato ever once ever been in a neutral standoff with an opponent? I'm serious, you see that shit all the time where it's like they're resting for a minute, but I don't remember Onosato ever once doing it.

>>149933966
I think every time he gets in a bind with someone, he gets ptsd to Hoshoryu tossing his ass and as a pavlovian response immediately starts moving so he can't be thrown.

>>149934059
Onosato getting in a bind seems to mean his opponent isn't going backwards, and his instincts seem to tell him to go backwards and pull. I'm not sure he's aware of just how huge he is. Like bro just stand there, they shouldn't be able to move you if you're still pushing. You're 6'5, just Hokuseiho it and lean on them to tire them out until they're forced into a desperation play.

Its time for anti-Dans admit they were wrong and apologize. If you've complained about Dan-posters or Dan-posting or made posts critical of Dan's sumo in the past this is your opportunity to make things right.
