>>149934887 (OP)
When will someone step up and become the big salt thrower again?

1st for an absolute clown Basho.

>>149934927
funny that nobody stepped up yet. NSK should force Ura to do it, since he's throwing the least amount

Onosato is going into his 11th match against maegashitters, Hakuho often faced as few as 5 or 6 in a basho and there were occasions when he dropped two of those matches. So all the screeching about Onosato is extremely misinformed.
Hosh faced 3 and lost all of them, thats bad.

>>149934927
Akua was doing it for a while before he dropped to Makushita.
I really miss that little fucker.

>>149935110
Akua's bow twirling is pretty mediocre, he stomps are good, but the rest of it is trash. Glad they decided to go with a new guy

It's Terutsuyoshi edition because this basho has brought about extreme amounts of salt

Abi lite got robbed. Don't know why Onosato insists on pulling back.

>>149935563
>Don't know why Onosato insists on pulling back.
same reason why Abi needs to henka, keeping the other guy confused about what you're going to do next is important. if you don't to it then the other guy can over commit against you worry free.
Onosato just sucks at pulling & slapdowns, its not that he does them at all thats bad, other guys are just fine using those techniques to win, Onosato is bad at using them.
Onosato is a dai yokozuna when he is moving forward and M12w moving backwards

I don't mind if he loses the yusho. Getting two digits on his debut is already enough to prove he has what it takes to be a 'zuna.

>>149936289
>gives away 3 kinbosh
>destroys sanyaku utterly
help me understand

>Ichiyamamoto tomorrow
>Kusano on saturday
>Kotoshoho on sunday
Aonishiki schedule

>>149935088
We've gone over this. Numeru-san showed us the stats. Both of our current yokozuna have had historically bad debuts by the metric of kinboshi not dispensed divided by kinboshi eligible matches. You are the one who is misinformed. Whatever the new era might be, it hasn't started yet. We're still in the crater left by Hakuho.

>>149936532
Kinboshi system is a little broken if you ask me. Sumo itself already has no weight divisions, so everyone has a chance by default. The kinboshi system ignores the fact that there are rising stars climbing to the top at full speed (like Onosato himself and I guess Kusano now) and ex sanyaku wrestlers who got demoted. Of course they'll eventually face sanyaku wrestlers, which means they'll fight someone on their skill level. Not really saying this is an excuse to lose to jobbers, but this isn't a proper way to measure his performance.

>>149936532
he stopped going forward, it's that simple

>>149936844

Whether someone is a rising star or a worn out veteran makes no difference. They are ranked where they are for a reason, according to their recent performance. Yokozuna losing to a lower ranked opponent should be rare.

Wakamotoharu reached Makuuchi at 28, Tamashoho did it at 31. Tamawashi has been competing for 21 years. Should they be denied kinboshi just for that? Or should one's kinboshi be retroactively erased once they reach sanyaku?

Is it the end-all be-all of performance measurment? No. Does it measure something meaningful? Yes.

If they didn't suck so hard at that particular metric, we would just be discussing their overall records.

>>149936912
https://youtu.be/7jxEe-XdfR8?feature=shared
He did it successfully in the Ichiyamamoto and Takerufuji matches, in the wakamotoharu and Oho matches he was overpowered, Takayasu stopped his charge in the first match, Takayasu in the playoff and Wakatakakage almost threw him at the edge.

He can't 100% rely on pushing.

Yokozuna Aonishiki will have a much better Kinboshi rate.

>>149937342
Those wins weren't at yokozuna, so you can't extrapolate them that way sweaty.

In 12 hours Aonishiki will be the outright leader and the 10-3 group will be Onosato & Kotoshoho. In 36 hours Onosato will be the sole chaser. In 60 hours Aonishiki will try to eat the giant macaroon because nobody told him it's just a prop yet and he will probably be hungry after winning and then collecting trophies.

>>149937468
Damn, so he's even better than the goat.

>another day another kinbos-
Wait! SCRUBnosato got saved by a torinaoshi, lmao.

Also, shout out to my guy, Rikishi Formerly Known As Kiribayama - the more time passes, the more sure I am he ain't have what it takes.

>>149936844
>like Onosato himself
How many kinboshi does he have?

>>149938247
>How many kinboshi does he have?
Dan & Onosato both has their makuuchi debut at M15 followed by consecutive 11-4s and Onosato landed a komusubi west for his 3rd makuuchi basho and ppl were complaining that Dan only got M1e, however they both got their first wins against yokozuna in their 3rd basho and only Dan got a kinboshi so maybe it was Onosato who got the short end of the stick

>>149937611
>Aonishiki wins the basho
>They give him the trophies
>He tries to bite the damn macaron
>He goes back to the locker room to take the commemorative photo, etc.
>Shishi is waiting for him there
>"I've trained you well..."

If Aonishki wins the basho, who will ride with him in the parade?

>>149938887
If Aonishiki finishes 13-2 (not losing a single bout until the end of the basho), I hope he gives the honor to Takayasu, the only one who defeated him without being King Kong.

Besides, Takayasu has a lot of experience holding the damn flag.

Atami vs Zak, who do you've got? We've got two hobbled fighters trying to recover their momentum.

>>149938887
It would have to be a makuuchi wrestler from Isegahama unless he decides to break from tradition to pick someone outside his ichimon. Maybe Hakuoho?

>>149939061
Zak is back

>>149939061
my heart says zak but I fully expect tommy to win tonight

>>149938887
Ameri-Dan

>>149938608
Shishi really is the missing link between monkeys (like Niggerzuchido) and man.

Kisenosato praising Dan's ability and saying that he expects Dan to win the championship
https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2025/07/25/kiji/20250725s00005000070000c.html

>>149939543
Sheeiiiiiiitttuchido is in Shishi's stable.
So you can imagine the burden that is on Shishi and explains a lot of his questionable performance. He can't sleep well because of the rap music blasting all night and the groid is probably always smoking weed and demanding gibes from Shishi since he is the only guy in the stable with no salary.
>gibes me sum yens muffugguh
>don't be raysis, gibes me dat yens nigga

>>149940208
You're retarded and gay.

>>149940208
Fake news: The Phantom Hominids (Africans) are afraid of Homo Erectus (Shishi). In that damn stable, they're collecting all the pieces of human evolution to find out which one is best suited for sumo. It's fascinating...

>>149940160
>Onosato has donkey brains and will personally insert the bottle if he ever moves backwards again

wow that's a bit harsh from Nishonoseki

Today, they're wrapping up the non-salaried divisions. They paired up the remaining 6-0s in each division. There will be playoffs in jonokuchi and jonidan if Kaki loses against Gonowaka. Yago vs Asahakuryu should be a good match.

Is it OK I don't like Hiradoumi because I think he has a fish face?

>>149940620
Gonowaka won, so all of the 6-1s in jonokuchi have a chance of securing the yusho by playoffs.

>>149940208
You are based and straight

>>149940208
kek

>>149940925
futaGOYama goys, we are in the yusho playoff

>>149940208
all true, I'm Shishi

Tamawashi might have a financial incentive to lose tonight, especially if Abi wins. Those two will be the ones vying for the valuable open sanyaku slot for Aki, however if Takayasu does well enough to open up the S2 slot for himself then both komusubi ranks will be open and Tamawashi is pretty much guaranteed one of them. Since Abi is two ranks ahead of Tom and only one win behind him, Tom getting to komusubi with only one slot open seems somewhat far fetched

>>149941138
You need 20 kinboshi to equal the salary increase for even a single tournament at lower sanyaku.

Ikazuchido: bruh, u see dat vidya game an sheeiiitt? we wuz kangz back in sengoku days dawg, we wuz nobunagas muffugguh

Shishi: its 3 in the morning, will you shut the fuck up and let me sleep? we have practice in a few hours

Ikazuchido: u racis yt bitch u owez me da reparation

>>149941203
Thankfully Nigerians aren't the same as American blacks, especially Nigerians born and raised in Japan.

>>149941203
this isn't a realistic conversation because Shishi cannot speak Japanese

>>149941482
much better

>>149941482
This actually happened

why there aren't women sumo fighters?

>>149941589
Because women are stupid

>>149941589
Historically men and womens sumo were run by separate organizations. When the Meiji government considered banning sumo as a whole as being outdated and barbaric, mens sumo was permitted to continue because they had influential allies in government. The idea of women being impure because of menstrual blood was invented around this time to give a religious justification, as the Meiji government was also pushing state Shinto as a singular established religion instead of a hodgepodge of regional beliefs syncretized with Buddhism and other imported foreign mythologies.

>>149941589
Not allowed + no woman could possibly compete at a high level against males.

Torinaoshi was the correct call.

unsurprisingly M8 Ichi didn't have any answers for the Aonishiki question

just give him the rope already.

Oh damn, easy for Tom

>>149943425
i guess they gave him ichiyamamoto because he had 9 wins. So the next possible opponents are Kotoshoho obviously + 1 - atamifuji or kusano?

>>149943463
Yeah they had to because of how silly the yusho race was 2 days ago. They still want some sanyaku to fight each other at the end

>>149943463
yeah as much as anything he has to be the roadblock for the other maegashira in the hunt

Worry not. I did the maths for where I live and it's actually cheaper to go to watch one day of a proper honbasho in Japan than this fraud in London. I would assume it's the same situation for most of Europe. It's really only the Londoners for whom it may make sense and they are suffering enough just being Londoners so may sumo bring them little joy in their miserable lives.

I respect Onosato more just for not withdrawing, desu.

>>149943778
This.

shitposting aside, if there's any querygods around what's the lowest maegashira rank to earn a kinboshi
can't imagine there's that many times a M15 or worse takes on a 'zuna and wins

good guys ohnosato and hosh providing some pocket money to meageshitters

>>149943778
>>149943798
he has no injuries, there's no excuse for him to kyujo

>>149943799
I think Murray mentioned the previous record was M12

>>149943799
>shitposting aside, if there's any querygods around what's the lowest maegashira rank to earn a kinboshi
The lowest rank to secure a kinboshi before was M14w in 1941.

>>149943819
jesus christ that's grim

>>149943817
toe ouchies count as an injury? almost all of maegashira is running around with taped up toes and that's the reason hosh gave

>>149943821

thanks leafbro

>>149943821
I stand corrected

>>149943799
>>149943819

>>149943805

>>149943799
>what's the lowest maegashira rank to earn a kinboshi
M15, as of 30 minutes ago.
It's rare for zunas to ever fight this low, and when they do they only lost twice now

>>149943828
i'm not going to argue how bad or easy the injury was, but it was reported before basho he injured his toe... are you a fucking doctor? did you see his injury? it can be whatever.

Embarrassing. Is Kisenosato teaching him the forbidden tech of "How to intai after being promoted to Yokozuna"?

>>149943866
This is the perfect image for this situation.

>>149943866
>Kisenosato's greatest enemy and rival was Hakuho Sho.
>His only weakness was Hakuho

>Onosato is Kisenosato's greatest disciple.

>Onosato loses to Hakuoho (literally Hakuho's disciple).
>Onosato loses to Tamawashi (has Hakuho's mongolian genetics).
>Onosato loses to Kotoshoho (has Hakuho's Sho).

Onosato is literally cursed. Hakuho defeated Kisenosato so hard that a curse was placed on him. Onosato is doomed...

>>149943922
I will undo the curse. I am going to need a lot of salt.

Day 14

>Aonishiki vs Kusano
>Onosato vs Wakatakakage
>Kirishima vs Kotoshoho

>>149944215
imagine atamin and kusano winning tomorrow, while aonishiki and kotosho losing, that would be pretty nice senshuraku

You know, would be pretty funny if Aonishiki kept going 11-4 for the rest of his career

Please have a 4 way tie going into day 15 of Aonishiki, Ataimfuji, Kusano, and Kotoshoho

Some of the guys doing this just seems like big fat guys, while others have actual techniques and skill.

>Kotoshoho wins
>barely any applause from the audience
that was sad, give the guy some credit. But I guess people are just tired of seeing Onosharto lose to Maegashiras this basho.

After watching the Day 12 Highlights I have spent 3 hours in MS Paint to bring you the following.

>>149944364
Barely any zabutons were thrown too, I was annoyed because when I was at the basho in May everyone went fucking wild on day 12 when Kirishitma beat Hosh. It seems Yokozunas losing is just a common occurance now, it's expected so it's not exciting

>>149944371
Very detailed and accurate, thank you anon

>>149937574
Ura's footwork and ring-sense really is unparallelled.

>>149944452
It looked like the most zabutons for either yokozuna's losses yet imo. I saw Hosh lose his first zuna bout to Abi and no exaggeration it was less than 10 in the entire arena

>>149944497
Maybe I'm remembering sitting in the nosebleeds it was a better view of it all going down.
>Mita v Big China Daiseizan
Tomorrow looks good. We're eating well tomorrow and hopefully on Sunday too

>>149943848
It is telling that he has had 1 injury at ozeki and now already has 2 at yokozuna. Him announcing the toe as a potential injury comes off as a way out if he fucks up, which is exactly what happened. I can understand him fucking up the elbow and not wanting to miss his first tournament at the rank, but it's getting a bit ridiculous at this point.

>>149944215
I was wondering if they were gonn send him some more maegashira. Guess not lol.
>>149944452
Yea, they threw them the first couple of times, moreso for Onosato than for Hoshoryu, but they just gave up halfway through the tournament in both cases. Just too common of an occurance.
>>149944371
Kek.

>>149944794
i dont like it either, and neph probably didn't like it as well, he was told it's better to not fight any further by oyakata.. so what would you do

>>149944330
Correct.

Right now I’d put the odds at
-200 Aonishiki
+250 kotoshobo
+500 kusano

I’d say this is a lock for Aonishiki

>>149945820
Actually imma bump up the lines to -300 Aonishiki and +300 kotoshoho

kotoshoho will win, the ozeki run into inevitable rope run starts here

There exists a .01% chance bizzaro world where Kusano beats Aonishi tonight, they
both lose tomorrow, Kotosho loses today and tomorrow while avoiding Aonishiki, and some of the 9 wins crowd win the next 2 days leading to a 5 man 11 win yusho playoff. I will always route for the 5 man yusho playoff because man would it be funny.

Onosharto bros what’s going on. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Someone is got a sake bottle to the backside when he got back to the stable.

>>149946104
I always wonder what this guy in the back would immediately think if he turned around and saw whatever the fuck was going on.

The terrible thing would be if Nabatame continued eating as he has been (like a pig in a pigsty, even Roga mentions this in a video) without exercising at all because of the surgery and the post-surgery period. He could gain a lot of weight.

Dan would be the third European tournament champion, right?

>>149946583
Maybe he'll be the new Kyoda and just cook for the next 8 months

He was better than Zak for a little bit when Zak’s knee was messed up but he himself got injured I wished he would’ve taken time off and heal and fight his way back when he was younger.

I only started watching this year. Has there ever been a period of such bad zunas, when there have actually been any?

It's not like he's a stranger to pulling statistics that weren't done before already. Two more wins and he sets another one

>>149949374
Also will be the 1st m1e to yusho in the 15 bout era

Unbelievably hyped for Ura versus Manlet tomorrow, even if the outcome seems given.

Will Kotozakura get his ozeki 8-7 curse again?

Anyone know what's up with Zak? Is he just jobbing or is he injured?

>>149949489
If Ura goes 10-5 this basho I will be so fucking thrilled

>>149949557
Injured, I suspect. He really should have won some of these.

>>149948427
>Hokutofuji's headache

>>149949906
The Sanyaku aren't doing TERRIBLE really. It just feels bad after they threw the joi into a woodchipper last basho. Pretend Oshoma isn't Komusubi and they're just about pulling their weight. Hakkaku must be fawning over a photograph of Daieisho right about now.

>>149949993
The ones that are here are doing ok, but not great besides Oshoma obviously. The thing is two of them are kyujo and an 8 man sanyaku isn't that big to start with, so there's not enough consistently strong guys to throw at the up and comers. We thought we were heading into a stronger era after the last basho but we went right back to near shambles.

>>149950049
Should be fine for next basho though right?

>Y1e Onosato, Y1w Hoshoryu
>O1e Kotozakura
>S1e Kirishima, S1w Wakatakakage
>K1e Takayasu, K1w Aonishiki

>>149950073
If Aonishiki wins out, we will see him at S2w. If he gets 12 wins, they could give him sekiwake as well. Historically they have not opened up an extra sekiwake slot for 11 wins at m1 as much recently. So I think it'll be three sekiwake, K1e Takayasu and K1w would be Abi or Tamawashi.

>>149950160
I suppose if you're gonna do it for anyone you should do it for a guy who's been as incredible as Dan thus far. We're actually watching the start of a three basho Ozeki run in real time.

>>149950073
>>149950160
Takayasu back in Nov 2022 is precedent for 12 wins being enough for a M1e to force a sekiwake overhang. However, he was the first maegashira to force an overhang since 2004.

>>149950226
So S2w Aonishiki, K1e Takayasu, K1w probably Abi? Unless Tamawashi leapfrogs him.

>>149950245
I think the only scenario where it's likely they'll give it to Tom is if he has 10 or 11 wins and Abi still has 8. If Abi gets his 9th, it probably goes to him no matter what Tom does from here.

>>149950245
>>149950364
Komusubi is looser than sekiwake. No reason they can't give it to both if Abi has 9+

Am I a fucking idiot or is there typically not supposed to be over 2 Komusubi?
From what I've been looking at historically, there seems to be a larger amount of S2's occuring over K2's; is there a reason why this is the case?

>>149950462
might be inflated from ozeki demotions

>>149950409
That happening would depend heavily on who makes KK from here to fill M1 and M2 I think. If there's not enough good bodies to fill those spots they wouldn't make another komusubi slot for Tom if Abi can take K1w

>>149950462
Komusubi being the bottom of the sanyaku, the good ones become sekiwake and the bad ones get tumbled back down to maegashira. There's a lot more turnover there.

Hot take:

If for some reason Aonishiki had entered this tournament ranked at Yokozuna, as in straight up M9->Y, he wouldn't be doing this well. He got to completely surprise the entire Sanyaku with his style of going for the legs. If he'd been Yokozuna this basho the Sanyaku would've had more time to watch him fight and see how to counteract him before they faced him. On no planet would Hoshoryu have given up his belt so easily if he knew what Dan was capable of beforehand.

>>149950495
Hakuho prepped for every single opponent by scouting video tape and getting one of his stable's lower rankers to emulate their fighting style so he could practice against it. Doing this should be the bare minimum for every yokozuna, and every ozeki with serious aspirations for yokozuna.

Hakkaku weighed in on the current state of affairs of this basho.
>"Onosato's sumo is a disaster. He might be tired, but it was a terrible showing. Aonishiki is showing great strength, never letting himself be intimidated by his opponent. Kusano is having a fantastic tournament. I'm sure the Banzuke will be completely different in a year."

>>149950622
>Onosato did his own style of sumo and took it one day at a time. Meanwhile, every other rikishi did the same thing. I predict the banzuke will change.

Prophetic.

>>149950627
Will Aonishiki tell when he wins the yusho he didn't think about it and just took it one day at a time and focused on doing his style of sumo?

>>149950710
What if they've been telling the truth all this time and they really were just taking it one day at a time? Meanwhile we've been mocking them...

imagine the anti-Dan sissies gooning to their false hope du jour, Kotoshoho, presently

and thats after they just got done beating it to Ichiyamamoto yesterday, what a bunch of gay faggot retards lol

what are your sansho predictions ?
my guess is:
Dan - technique + outstanding if he gets the yusho
Tamawashi - fighting spirit
Kusano - fighting spirit
Kotoshoho - fighting + outstanding if he gets the yusho
Ichi - fighting spirit if he gets 10 wins

>>149950495
Room temperature take

>>149950721
I think you're sleeping on Kotoshoho too much. IIRC he was on the same three man college/university sumo team as Onosato. He's been suffering from random injuries for the last better part of a year, going kyujo twice at some point. This basho he's looked powerful as fuck. He made Onosato look about as bad as Dan made Hoshoryu look.

God I can't wait to see Zak holding the flag for him in the yusho car just to complete the humiliation ritual his life has turned into.

>>149950721
Holy fucking projection. Can't get enough (you)s hyping up Aonishiki anymore, huh? Now you need to accuse people of what your fap sessions look like, except in reverse.
>Oh Dan, get in real low and uchimuso my ass!
Fuck off fag

>>149950710
His history in freestyle wrestling no doubt helped him a lot because in freestyle one fall doesn't end a match. In sumo doing 10 practice bouts in a day is a big deal, but in freestyle you might fight through that many takedowns in just a few practice matches so overall you experience the situation of the what would be winning/losing move in sumo a lot more often than you see it in sumo practice.

>>149950741

I tend to ignore most of that these days.
It's clear that there are a number of people who can only enjoy sports when they can jump on a hate bandwagon.
It's weirder in sumo when there are no clear teams so we get dedicated schizos for and against certain rikishi.
I'm just here for some good sumo man.

>>149950882
Onosato: double digit wins, undefeated vs sanyaku, pretty much an ozeki level performance at the yokozuna rank, just slightly disappointing

Hosh: losing record, a genuinely terrible performance

the heat is only on Onosato now because Hosh fled the scene of his spaghetti spill so long ago that his embarrassment is now a distant memory while Onosato actually managed to complete the basho without running away in tears

What do you expect? Onosato has been on a 2 year streak of good performances, 4 yushos, strong swift victories and earned his promotion with back to back tournaments, not enough reasons to shit on him so hard. Meanwhile Hoshoryu in the same time has had some mixed performances and a promotion that was debated the moment it was announced, a lot of people think it was undeserved and rushed and so far he has done nothing to prove otherwise. Hoshoryu is a fucking jobber, simple as.

>>149951322

>>149949374

A yokozuna run is only considered when starting from ozeki. So: no.
If you're horny for theoreticals, this basho could be the start of his ozeki run.
The absolute soonest he could make/debut at yokozuna is May 2026

>>149951472
>Onosato yushoes 3 times a year
thats actually a higher rate of winning than what hakuho put up, hakuho won about 3 of every 8 throughout his career

Dan is already on course for Ozeki. You need an average of 11 per basho and he's already at 11 with two days to go. The kid's fighting spirit and fighting intelligence are fucking insane, Aminishiki struck gold with him.

>>149951745
It's a tad disingenuous to take the man's entire career when he clearly dropped off towards the end and won none for the longest time. Hakuho won 20 cups in the space of 28, and that's not even the record which is Asashoryu who pulled 20 in 26. Onosato's numbers aren't close to that rate right now.

Hakkaku beya's highest ranked wrestler is Kitanowaka and thats despite having a yokozuna and 4 other coaches on the staff.

>>149952129
>Dan's unstoppable power and unparalleled skill
His unparalleled skill is readily apparent, but whats not quite as obvious is that his is also the strongest man in makuuchi. In the most recent Oyakata test of strength video Dan outscored everyone else by a lot. The guy is the total package, an all around superior specimen.

>>149952524
He just is nerfed by being 182cm tall. That's smaller than the average makuuchi sekitori.

>>149952524
He has still yet to show any way to beat someone like Onosato (on a day he remembered he's a yokozuna). Now luckily for him there aren't many of those rolling around, but still

>>149953028
I don't get why more rikishi aren't belt fighters. All of the last 8 yokozuna were primarily belt fighters (including Kisenosato and Onosato, they might not have gone for throws but they focused on yorikiri by way of the mawashi) so you'd think people would wise up and think "hmm maybe having belt skills is important"

>>149953028
>>149953074
The meta changes with the years, the more push focused sumo nowadays is from a variety of factors.

I'll be honest: all anti-dans, the damned Bolsheviks who oppose the Tsar of the Mawashi, must surrender their weapons within the next few hours and present themselves to the Aonishikist authorities.
Anti-dan attitudes will never again be tolerated in /sumo/.
You have until the makuuchi bouts begin to surrender to the authorities and await trial; those who do not do so after this deadline will be hunted down, arrested, and forced to live out the rest of their days in the Ikazuchi sumo stable/labor camp, preparing chanko and serving as an attendant to Shishi.

>>149953768
>You'll be hearing from my lawyers about that torinaoshi!!!

Has Kotoshoho been permainjured and it suddenly got better? I don't fully understand how he's putting on such a performance. He's basically been grabbing people and walking them out except for 'sato who swung a little bit then pushed out. He's not doing anything crazy or technical, mostly just overpowering them or pushing from a good angle.

What the hell will happen if Onosato finishes 9-6 in his debut? Tomorrow he'll fight Wakatakakage, who's one of the rikishi who gives him the most fight. What if Onosato loses?
Even with that loss, I see it as impossible for Onosato to lose to Kotozakura, especially considering the terrible performance he's been doing as an ozeki. But what if Onosato does something stupid like "advancing backward," as he's done in several bouts this basho?
Is 9-6 too bad for a yokozuna? And in his debut?

>>149953823
It's a total clown basho and you know it. In a sane world the cream of sumo's crop wouldn't be acting like a deer in the headlights when confronted with basic freestyle wrestling techniques. Aonishiki is a good enough fighter but he's undersized and green, and has no business running roughshod over the banzuke in the way that he's been doing. It makes the entire sport look like a joke - put the useless fat cunts on a diet and retrain them for judo. Clown basho.

thats pretty much it, he is a mid-maegashira guy who got injured and sagged down to the bottom of the division then got healthy and had an easy time cleaning up fighting the midgets down there. he did the same thing a couple years ago and got a JY at m13

>>149953952
It wouldn't change much, people will chalk it up to the post-milestone slump he's had his whole career. It would take a minor miracle for Onosato to not get at least 10 here anyway (or severe retardation).

>>149953952
>Is 9-6 too bad for a yokozuna? And in his debut?
while 10-5 is the unwritten standard "yokozuna KK", he'll get cut some slack for his first basho. IF, however, this level of performance becomes the norm, then he'll start getting pressure to retire.

>>149955081
I don't know, I think Hakuoho is at least even with Abi here and might be favored. Despite 8 wins, Abi hasn't been in great form and Hakuoho is pretty good at sticking at people like glue.

>>149954990
Daieisho, Oshoma, Oho, Gonoyama. You could debatably add Aonishiki as he's been shifting towards using oshi-zumo more frequently ever since he became a sekitori, which is reflected through more of his recent wins coming from oshidashi.

>>149955157
To me oshi sumo is more guys like Daieisho, Gonoyama, and Takakeisho. Once these guys fail to push you out its over for them and they don't work the belt at all.

>>149955876
Takakeisho has some of the craziest belt throws you'll ever see: with his ridiculously small arm compared to his body, pivoting his opponent; his body practically served as an anchor for the throws, but again, his arms were too small, and to do something like that he needed to have the opponent very close, reach his mawashi, not have his opponent break his grip, and not have his opponent in a better position. In other words, the exact opposite of his sumo style, but when the miraculous opportunity arose, Takakeisho opted for the mawashi.

Fair enough. That really only limits it to Abi, Gonoyama, and Daieisho right now; a lot of the other pusher-thrusters can semi-competently fight on the belt which is reflected by a sizable number of yorikiri wins.

what's the strategy at the start of the match with some rikishi waiting, others putting fists down first, or one on one off?

It seems like a lot of guys start without bringing that last hand down all the way am I just seeing things or is there some leeway?

>>149957969
i personally hate those guys, like dude is 1-5 but keeps breathing and meditating or whateverthefuck before he actually puts his hands down. I like Mita so much because he doesnt fuck around, puts both his hands down immediately.

>>149953979
Aonishiki is almost exactly the same height and weight Asashoryu was in his prime.

You know nothing about sumo, you ignorant tea nigger.

>>149957969
mind games, both wrestlers are supposed to get both of their hands down prior to the charge but as long as they're synced up properly the gyoji will generally let it go (the both hands down thing is relatively recent, if you watch bouts from back in the day it was mainly a sync thing)

>>149958023
I'm not opening that link, Kasugao.

Mitaaaaaa

uuuuh daiseizan sisters?????

Mita? I don't know any Mita, I only know MIYABIYAMA II

ching chong down

so what exactly is the difference between what Mita did and a henka? where's the line? not meeting at the tachiai?

>>149958069
When you know you'll know, until you figure it out you'll ask questions.

>>149953768
its funny because its true

>>149958069
>If you do henka and look like a useless coward
>Then it's henka
>If you do henka and look like you have an IQ of 500
>Then it's NOT henka

>>149958069
It's literally just based off of vibes

On my way to intai

>>149958177
Ura...

I am going to sleep and when I wake up Kotoshoho better have lost and Aonishiki better have won

>>149958211
The first thing you will say when you wake up will be his name, because he is the way, the door and the verb.

>>149958211
Ok I will give you another (you) when Kotoshoho inevitably wins

>>149956009
They really need to dim the audience lights and bring back sideburns.

>>149958195
why do they look like white women

Day 14: Wakanohana

I wish onosato could've won.

>ura injured
fuck this gay earth

week 2 mitakeumi sure is something

>Shishi bout
It's time for KINO

shitshit

Plan status?

>>149958596
Two more weeks

>>149958596
aborted - accidental victory achieved

showa bros...

The manlet will remain safe

tfw every bout so far except Shishi's went the way of the shorter man according to official heights (with Shodai/Roga tied)

Ichiyamamoto is out of gas

>>149958680
Dios mio...

is tamawashi back to komusubi after 10 years, at 40? holy hell

>>149958703
It's now time to hype up the Tamawashi ozeki run.

O H O

Where can I find footage of this?

oh no no no

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

KUSANOOOOOOOOOOO holy hell

Aonishiki yusho, whatever happened there...

holy shit

OH MY FUCK! Kusano only know one thing, and that's yushos!

That was fast

Aonishiki "11 and 4 is what I'm going for" Arata

THE YUSHO RACE? DERAILED WITH NO SURVIVORS.

the aonishiki meme is DEAD

Back to the front

Aonishikibros, emergency meeting on discord!

WTF IS THIS?!

11

Spainanon is suddenly very quiet

>>149895484
reminder

>>149958841
Just keeping the Basho entertaining. 4 way tie going into tomorrow after Atami wins and Kotoshoho loses

>>149958783
search for hatsu 2024 makushita day 11, there is a full 1080p video on dailymotion

>>149958841
oh no no no, the mod of the Dancord locked everyone out and is threatening suicide in DMs...

Damnit Aonishki you were so close!

Interesting Aonishiki looks like he deviated from his usual style

>>149958841
SAY!
HIS!
NAME!

>>149958864
Gotta stick to your own brand of sumo

NOW DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, YOU FATFUCK!

>>149958833
11-4, fighting spirit prize, every basho, forever, for the rest of your life

Kusano...the destroyer of aonishiki...

>>149958873
KEK. No gay greentext today

truly a clown basho

What the fuck even is this basho

>>149946000
Uhhh guys? Should I be getting excited?

They haven't done anything layout wise to fix this new arena.

Fuck Oshoma

>>149958941
>Oshitma

Come on Atamifuji!!!

After all the shit I've been talking on Atami, there's a decent chance he can yusho now from here. Just don't fuck up.

damn it

NOOOOOOOO

It's owari da...

Holy shit Takayasu saved that?!

that was a good ass bout

OBLITERATED

>>149958983
Atamifujibros...

Total Zoomer genocide

>can no longer yusho
>gets pushed to the brink
>doesnt choke
takayasu...

Time for Kirishitma to live up to his name. Kotoshoho yusho inc

Please please Kirishima, I need the 5 man 11 win playoff.

KIRISHIMA DESTROY KOTOSHOHO AND MY CHANKO IS YOURS!!!!!!!

>>149959016
>>149959017
boomer ozeki runs begin now

Atamifuji was crying, screaming and throwing his sagari around in the back

LOL koto threw him like a sack

>>149958211
I got some bad news for you bud LMAO

Oh fuck

kiriSHITma

I'm speechless by Kirishimas performance

Thank you for ruining everything kiriSHITma

Kotoshoho's first week record doesn't hold a candle to Dan's but he has look so FUCKING GOOD this basho I don't believe what i'm seeing

lmao what was that

Kirishima didn't even put up a fight kek

KotoYUSHO

>>149959070
his best yet, and coming back from kyujo, it's insane with 12-2

Kirishitma will never be ozeki

>>149959034
I am never believing in Kirishima again. He stole kino from me. All he needed to do was beat an m15.

*Sigh* Onosato is going to lose, right? He'll do something stupid and lose. We're approaching the twilight of sumo... say your prayers...

>>149959071
Kirishima sucks ass simple as

>>149959084
Nah, 'sato has this now that he can't yusho anymore.

It is my fault, I started to doubt Takayasu and it gave him strength.

Aonishiki will be paired against Kotoshoho tomorrow and Kusano will get Onosato. Calling it now

>>149959098
The yokozuna has to fight the ozeki if he has a winning record, right?

Full makeup and clown shoes

Very convincing from Kotozakura

>>149959107
>The yokozuna has to fight the ozeki
Yes.
pic unrelated

Zak threw someone??? Is the world ending?

kadoban averted

>>149959098
there is no way they let Onosato a chance to drop another kinboshi

>>149959107
You're right, I wonder who Kusano will embarrass tomorrow then

Has Hiradoumi grabbed Kotozakura's balls in the tachiai? The forbidden kimarite...

onosato is going to get bitched by wakatakakage

>>149959129
more of a gentle stroking than a grab

sekiwakewakatakakage

>>149959119
He’s versed in it he used to use unwatenage a lot because it was his dads favorite move but he figured out he’s 400 pounds and 6’2 so he pushes.

Thats gonna be ugly!

I don't have faith in Aakataka continuing his ozeki run. He's gonna get run over.

What a bummer, I was really hoping for Atamin JY. I hope he can keep improving with Teru

>>149959144
I checked and the last time he's used throws heavily was yusho. Go figure.

Oh NOW he gets his shit together.

jelly?

>goes forward
>wins

>>149959188
Immensely

It's almost over. The sanyaku had their asses beat, the yokozuna jobbed, and the fate of the basho hinges on Kotoshoho.
>>149959191

>>149959169
He’s always had different moves and styles

>>149959188
Yes I am a 27 year old virgin

>>149959151
He can scrounge together 10-5 and try again next basho. At the very least, he's surviving.

>>149959188
Yes, I was left at the altar and I will die alone

decent match ups tomorrow

>>149959220
My hope as well.
>>149960629
Aonishiki gets to try and force a playoff. Would be kino if he managed.

>>149958069
A henka is a dodge - a refusal to meet the opponent's charge. Mita met the charge, but he didn't put everything into it (and Daiseizan outweighs him by over 100 freedom units), so he got bounced back and was slick enough to turn it into a pulldown.

tl;dr: a soft tachiai isn't a henka

>>149963121
when was this, yesterday?
quite unbecoming of a makuuchi rikishi

>>149963121
Uh oh melty.
Reminds me of the post takakeisho and kotonowaka matches, where at least one of them woul be giga pissed in the walk back.

Kusanocels and Kotoshobros eating good.
Aonisisters on suicide watch.
And Ikazuniggers on the banana boat back to Africa.

>>149967063
today, after loss to takayasu

>>149963121
>>149967063
>>149969106
Is it actually poor etiquette to be angry at oneself? 'Cause that's what seems to be happening here.

>>149971196
yeah you're supposed to suck it up and be stoic for the cameras.
I thought I had a webm of it, but there's one where Atami is walking back after a playoff with Takakeisho where he's damn near crying. made me sad :^(
