anime

Not counting the other Yok, who is the most likely to upset Onosato?

>>151931038
I'm not counting out Yoshinofuji.

>>151931038
maybe Oho in between losing to guys he shouldn't lose to
or an old guy like Tamawashi/Shodai/etc

>>151931090
That's a good choice but my pick would be Oho

>>151931038
Not an upset if the other 'zuna wins, tho I get what you mean considering Hosh's tenure at the rank. As for the actual answer, obviously Aonishiki, though that might actually be less surprising then Hosh taking it.

>>151931038
A B I
B
I

>>151931141
I was thinking about head to head fight not the yusho, so not Aonishiki for sure.

>>151931038
Zak is going to do the opposite of what he did last basho

>>151931206
Not in the Joi so unless someone drops out or shits the bed not happening

>>151931255
13-2 incoming.

Shit guys, sorry to be joining only now, had some bullshit interfere, how are we looking this basho?
And what's the deal with there only being one ozeki?
Cheers.

>>151930963
Where?

>>151931038
No one. Onosato is going 15-0. Yes I am being serious.

>>151931411
>And what's the deal with there only being one ozeki?
The other two got promoted to yokozuna.
There will be a second ozeki in January though.

>>151931446
We are so overdue for a zensho
it's been almost 5 years now

>>151931141
>As for the actual answer, obviously Aonishiki
Is it really that obvious? I get that he's a wunderkind, but he's never beat Onosato or won a yusho before.

>>151931491
Look at how much smaller Dan was there and that was only a few months ago

>>151931558
He looks exactly the same

>>151931449
Cheers!

heard a commentator say
>-trying to get inside Tamawashi's kitchen
is that a thing? get inside their ?kitchen? I mean I could infer what it meant from the chest thrusting it just tickled me.

>>151932265
they use that one A LOT in the nhk broadcast

>>151932265
I'm going to guess that was Hiro after watching the London tourney

How have the last 3 basho been? Stopped watching because I can't enjoy a base stream enough, and can't stand that bitchy little faggot on twitch anymore. Natto is too hard for me to find his new stream every basho, so I'm left with nothing.

>>151931491
BOW to the Yokozuna!

>>151931446
I think it’s a possibility with how he is fighting but it would be interesting if Dan could find a way to beat him. Would be nice to have some more competition for onosato.

>>151932764
Get a fucking VPN, faggot.

Check out this yobidashi simp.

>>151932961
Honestly it takes more effort and talent to be a yobidashi than to be a low division shitter

>>151932961
yobidashi & gyoji >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>rikishi

>>151932924
No, nigger.

>>151933029
Then go blog somewhere else, faggot.

>>151932982
>>151933028
You know how I know you're gay?

Tanaka vs Ryuseiyama may have been the most spirited Jonidan match I've ever seen. Good stuff.

>>151933045
Sumo fans cannot be gay because sumo wrestlers are not attractive

We're the straightest sports fans alive

>>151933180
A) Not a sport
B) They were simping for the gyoji and yobidashi, and are therefore gay.

>>151933212
It's all in the hips

>>151933040
How about you blow me gay boy I'll blog where I please, especially if it pisses off little fags like you. Plus, instead of being a bitch, answer my original question.

>>151932764
May was awesome. Should've been Onosato zensho on top of the yusho + yokozuna promotion but Hosh ruined it.

July was a clown basho won by Kotoshoho who has promptly resumed failing.

September. A very solid basho. Excellent performance by the sanyaku for once. Both Yokozuna looked like Yokozuna. High quality.

>>151933212
Saying you prefer the naked fat sweaty dudes is way more gay than guys wearing cool ninja clothes

>>151933304
There has literally never been a gay sumo wrestler.

>>151933311
Dan is with shishi. He's just still in the closet

>>151933311
The dudes in the lower divisions sleep in the same room, wash each others asses and hump each other all day. For their whole teen and young adult life. Can't get more gay than that

>>151933255
The last three basho have been free to watch with a VPN + ABEMA.

>>151933304
I don't think you know what a ninja is, if you think they dress like that.

>>151933360
That's not gay at all. Purely platonic.

>>151933385
Go platonically suck a dick

>>151933400
Is that how you do it in Portugal?

I'm pretty sure Ichiyamamoto wants to platonically suck Wakatakakage's dick. He mentioned him again in his ABEMA interview for this basho.

>>151933360
proof of lower division heterosexuality
gay dudes don't buy anime figs

>>151933439
Imagine not buying a Nino one instead, of course they're gay

>>151933478
What about this collection

>>151933491
Do you fantasize them jerking eachother off to this?

>>151933180
Have you seen how many women are in the audience?

nobody remembers my boy chiyonofuji...

>>151934128
I see japanese posting Chiyonofuji hype edits on twitter

Wakatakamoto with incredible footwork at the bales. Good win.

>>151934128
I watch this video several times a year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOfMtyGShPA

kotoasshole

Shirokuma finally dropped one, Onosato outlasted him, so did Goshima

Mita got what was coming to him honestly. You could tell in the recent videos that he had no humility. He now has another chance to appreciate his good fortunes

>>151935171
>You could tell in the recent videos that he had no humility
thats par for the course with manlets, they always have a chip on their shoulder

>0-2 at jonidan 100
Koga bros, our next move? I'm thinking henka twice in a row.

>>151935171
should have changed shis shikona. having your own name as sekitori is a bad sign unless youre shodai

Is Asakoryu natty?

>>151935317
hes probably more natty than hosh given how hosh's skin looks as of lately

Lmao Enho just gave up againt Kazuma. Fat Ugly Bastard-bros we keep on winnin'

>>151935279
>nabatame also used his own name

Mongol shits

that looked painful for gono

>>151935389
oh nevermind I thought he went face first into the clay

Who let the retard out of the pen?

>>151933212
>Not a sport
If this is bait I'm unaccustomed, how is it not a sport? Why would it be on sp otherwise?

Shishi bros.... not like this

Fujiryoga is so god damn solid he doesn't move backwards

>>151935441
I thought he was saying the yobidashi is not a sport

Back from work just in time to see KinBOZO lose.

>>151935441
It's not bait. If you remove everything but the sport from sumo, it basically becomes amateur sumo. Take a look at that and come back after throwing up.

>>151935463
I've been watching him since debut, I don't know why people aren't talking about him more.

>>151935476
What?

tobi tripped by the invisible third man

Lmao the fuck was that?

Why don't they ever keep a little pocket salt on their hands and then toss it in the other guy's eyes

>>151935492
I don't know why they don't just keep a gun in their mawashi honestly.

>>151935476
... huh?

MANLETBROS WHERE WE AT???

This guy needs to fire his stylist. Unless his intention was to look zesty, I guess.

Not today, Suomi.

>>151935527
there is always ALWAYS so many weird looking people in the stands, but also always ALWAYS there is 1 (one) and never more TURBO WEIRD looking abomination on the very front rows that get a lot of screen time during the pre bout rituals.
I mean knowing you will appear on camera cause of your expensive seats and decide thats your look...

>>151935550
This basho has that bitch on the east side with a face like a slapped arse who's there all 15 days.

I fucking hate Yoshinofuji shikona

>>151935558
last basho had that young dragqueen? or performer or whatever with the crazy half cyberpunk half doll aesthetic, somebody mentioned in here that she was related to one of the wrestlers

Beautiful move from Yoshi. We'll see him in the joi next basho for sure.

>>151935571
You mean Zombeam? She seems cool enough.

>>151935569
I still can't believe he didn't change it to Kusanofuji.

Atamin you beautiful fatso.

No one likes Oshoma

>>151935591
Oshoma v Kinbozan. Who do you cheer for?

>>151935595
Damn, that's a tough one. I cheer against Kinbozan still.

>>151935595
the gyoji

>>151935577
>You mean Zombeam? She seems cool enough.
Yeah thats her
Not knowing anything about her she was a bunch of days on one of the premium seats just behind the east side of the wrestlers and it was super distracting. Even more so not knowing who she was. But checking her insta i see that she has done some promoting on sumo and stuff
I got the drag queen one mixed with this one

>>151935619
Yeah fuck that faggot. Zombeam is cool.

>>151935595
the fans

>>151935619
Also incase you were confused, this is Zombeam.

Takanosho got that September Gonoyama energy.

>>151935639
Eww, shaved sides

I will always cheer on Oho because he saved us from a kinbozo yusho

>>151935655
Shit like that lets you know that she'd be into all sorts of weird shit in the bedroom.

>having your own name as sekitori is a bad sign unless youre shodai
*blocks your path*

Some time back I think last basho someone posted an AI generated video of Ura ripping someone's head off and said "URA IS THAT A LEGAL MOVE??" or something to that effect. Does anyone have the video? Could you please post it if so?

>>151935671
>loses his kabu to yakuza

>>151935676
Wasn't a sekitori at the time. Checkmate athiests.

>>151935671
Could someone that skinny on the right still compete today

Part of me dislikes Takayasu because he's straight up preventing youngsters from rising up through the ranks at this point lmao.

>Oh you wanted to become an Ozeki? Here's your fucking loss, fatso

>>151935685

TZD

>>151935685
fuck zoomers

>>151935685
I like that he fights like he's angry.

>>151935692
Looking angry is the only way to get the maximum out of your muscles. It takes a lot of focus to pump out huge nerve signals from the brain.

>>151935690
Thank you so much I thought it was lost to time

LMAO

I knew this was going to happen the moment Murray started talking about zensho

>SAY

>HIS

>N-ACK!

SLAVA NIPPON

I didn't expect that.

YOOOO

SAY HIS... oh

Holy cringe

back to the ukraine killing fields you fucking bum!

i hate henka so much it's unreal

Damn. I like pacman but even be didn't look happy about that win

henka is my favorite technique

honestly, he should have expected it

Can you hear the clown music in the distance?

>>151935728
Stop taking your opponent's charge for granted. Doing a henka puts you seriously off balance. If you can't take advantage of your opponent being off balance you need to sort your shit out.

>>151935735
I respect Fujinokawa. He's small, young, but fights like a wild animal and will have to go through two healthy Yokozuna if he wants the cup, unlike Kotosh*ho.

Should've henka'd Hosh instead.

WHO'S THAT DYKE IN THE BACK

Is henka all fujinokawa has

>>151935728
fuck off

Kotoz-ACK!
URAAAAAAAAAAAA

why does zaks tits have tits

What the helly day of the knee part 2

>>151935752
It's his fucking assistant you faggot. Zak is a cool guy to everyone, and has them do his routine along with him to remind him that he's fighting for everyone who supports him.

>Ura wins

Well oh fuck. Zak is going kadoban this basho, no question.

>>151935753
His arms looks disgusting there, like some fat grandma who's never exercised in her life

>>151935762
optimal tsuki-oshi defence build, didnt work this time though

Kadoban time!

I place a curse on Hoshoryu

Hosh is 9-1 v my fucking dog, but that 1 win almost put an end to Hosh's rope run.

WMH is going to fluke onosato

Hoshoryu manages to win while Onosato completely dominates.

>>151935796
This is the biggest difference between the two. You assume Onosato will win, while you merely hope Hoshoryu will.

>that bit of pre basho interviews they keep showing where Zak gets annoyed at an interviewer for asking if there is a particular basho he has more trouble with than others
Had a bad feeling the first time I saw them play this.

>>151935796
luck >>>> skill

Where can I find the average sekitori intai age over the years? Don't think I can query that on sumo.db.

>>151935809
Does anyone have unedited version of this pic?

>>151935831
That's the original.

hop

Lmao just hold W why don't more fatsos do this???

>>151935831
I love this picture so much

>>151935872
AI gives him a beard and turns him into a jeet
The ai can't help but put indians everywhere, a symbiotic relationship

>>151935872
I still can't believe Onosato sent Takerufuji down to juryo with this injury.

>>151935865
glad I've left my mark on this godforsaken general

For any Fujiryoga appreciators, you should check out Kazuma in Makushita.

>Debut basho at MsTD
Injured.
>Sits out 3 basho and tanks rank
>Rejoins Ozumo amongst shitters
>Blows away division 6
>And 5
>And 4
>And is 3-0 in Makushita right now, in range for promotion to Juryo

It's that same physique as Onosato/Fujiryoga where he just looks like a fucking ogre, albeit more fatty than the others.

>>151936014
I learned about this guy about an hour before watching the bout where he got injured. It looked pretty bad, I'm glad he's doing well and didn't get reinjured immediately.

You guys think Dan greases that hairy birthmark patch on his back to make himself more slippery

>>151935685
How can you call yourself a rikishi when you can't even beat a hairy gorilla. Takayasu is doing sumo a favor if you ask me

>>151935831
>>151935865
These are pretty good.

>>151935735
>farm low level maegashira for the entire first half of the basho
>content for yusho
Now where have I seen this before...

So this is how it feels for one of your guys to be Henka'd huh

>>151936236
Yeah, the fact all these Hakuho era leftovers are still doing so well just goes to show how weak the current lineup is. The sad thing is the youngsters likely won't even surpass them as much as wait them out.

>>151936236
This. Gatekeeping is important.

>>151936319
This was Natto's argument when hosh henka his way into the yokozuna battle for the yusho on september
I love it
I think henkas are more than ok and healthy for the sport but yeah it stings when it happens to a rikishi you like, it is what it is

>>151936365
This henka had me screaming at my monitor. I hope the extra yusho was worth it you estrogenated gerbil

>>151936375
Still seething it seems

>>151936376
Dialating, even.
Absolutely no hinkaku. Henka all you want on day 1-12 but when it comes to the yusho? Shamefur

>>151931038
URA (pronounced yoo ARR eyy) because i wanna see it happen.

>>151936455
>yoo arr eyy
This is sumo wrestling, not horse girl racing

>Ozeki getting buckbroken by Ura

Why is he so shit bros? Shouldn't he be demoted after such lacklustre performances last three bashos?

i want to like hoshoryu but theres something about him that makes me unable to boy him

>kayo and tomokaze 0-5
Guess these guys really shouldn't be eating breakfast.

>>151936670
Shin keiko metoudu, preasu andarstando

Face it, breakfast is ruined.

I had no idea Koga got BTFO by Takerufuji before. I can't stop watching this.

>>151936455
United Rikishis of Asia?

>took a ten hour flight just to watch my boy Aonishki swan-dive into clay

Putin did nothing wrong.

that fact that he can only win with henkas only makes the wakatakaKOGA name that much more accurate

>>151935441
Sumo really isn't a sport, it's more of a culture festival.
If you take just the sports aspect of it, it becomes boring and retarded. Sumo is inseparable from its cultural context, which is arguably more important than the bouts themselves.

>>151937293
Wouldn't say it's not a sport, but otherwise I agree. For me it's both the sport and the cultural aspects that make sumo what it is, couldn't have one without the other

What kind of weak ass henka did Zak try to pull. Pathetic

>>151937223
This is the funniest /sumo/ name by far

>>151937293
That's kinda like saying if you take awqy peanuts from a Snickers bar you're left with a Mars bar. The culture and sometimes obnoxious customs are whatmakes sumo what it is, as well as the thing that sells the sport to people both inside and outside of Japan. But sumo is a sport and a pretty hard one at that. You need to be able to use your physical dispositions to overpower an opponent who might be significantly havier, taller, lighter, faster, stronger wtc. etc. It has a pretty varied set of moves as well as very unique requirements that are severely taxing on both your body and soul.

>>151937293
what we see in exhibitions like London is most certainly not a sport
what we see in the basho definitely is, the physicality discipline and technique necessary are all on display and the stakes on the Banzuke are high. And think of the standards they hold top performers to. Imagine someone told Brady to retire in the 10 years between all of Patriots' championships, or told Tiger he has to quit playing golf. Not saying that we always have the best Yokozuna we could have but they don't get to carry on for a decade going subpar.

>>151937958
KWAHB

>>151937958
He really wasn't expecting it.

>>151937958
Hit-and-shift, not a true henka.

>>151937958
I never liked that overhyped cocksucker,
now I really hate him!

I wish him many henkas in Makushita!

Closeup of Kotoeiho's vagina.

>>151935854
new fatkino just dropped, though it's no kickflip

>>151938033
What's worse, Aonishiki has said Wakatakakage is his favourite of the currently competing rikishi and he did a lot of practice sessions at Arashio. Wasn't exactly Ichiyamamoto level of simping, but to have him of all rikishi potentially fuck up your ozeki run must sting. Legit move and all, but yeah.

>>151937958
It really caught him offguard, this will be a highly educational experience

>>151935865
Wonder how many "ehhh, sugoi!" you'd get if you wore a shirt with this at a basho.

I forgot sumo started this week

>>151935571
>somebody mentioned in here that she was related to one of the wrestlers
That's often repeated, but they are mistaken.

>>151936837
Holy mother of outmatched lmao. It's like if Futagoyama called Koga up to spar with Roga.

>>151936498
lol

lmao

>>151938418
Why don't they do this though? Obviously Roga shouldn't go full strength, but wouldn't it be better training than only letting him practice against other shitters

>>151938661
>wouldn't it be better training
Of course it wouldn't. His competition is other shitters in Jonidan. He should practice at his level or below (lol) to learn. Bashing yourself against a brickwall 1000 times isn't going to teach you anything.

>>151938694
Anon, repeatedly slapping a wooden pole is one of the core training methods of sumo. If it was possible, they probably would make trainees bash themselves into brick walls over and over again until they went right through.

>>151938818
>repeatedly slapping a wooden pole
No shit, Bruce, it's to toughen your hands and practice your aim and footwork timing.
But what would be the point of sending in a Makuuchi wrestlers to PRETEND to be a Jonidan wrestler? How would that be better than just sending in an actual Jonidan wrestler who would be competing at full intensity? It makes no sense.

>>151938852
because he might just be learning (lol) tricks to get past people that would never work on anyone skilled, instead of actually learning important fundamentals

>>151938661
You don't teach a baby to speak by reciting Shakespeare to it.

>>151938893
Learning them how, exactly? Is he supposed to luck into them by facing an even tougher opponent than usual? Or would Roga just tell him what to try? Which, you know, he could just do at any time without sullying himself.

>>151938938
Idk, I'm not really anything of an athlete, just asking. If this idea is retarded, that's fine, I have no authority on this. Just wondering if it would be helpful for Roga to actually wrestle Koga so that he could give him direct feedback like "oh, don't put your hand here, push more up than forward, etc". From the videos it just seems like they throw him at other shitters who can't give him advice, the seniors give no feedback, and hope he improves.

>>151938979
The oyakata and senior wrestlers watch their matches, and do provide feedback and insight regardless of what Anon's say here.
>I'm not really anything of an athlete
Not all rikishi are either. It's not a sport.

ALEX PATPO FATTORINO DELIVEROO PISTOIA

>>151939093
Haha yeah dude.

Damn I only watched it back just now but Fujinokawa went straight through Kotoshoho. Lil nigga saw Onosato hold W and said he can do that too.

>>151937958
What fucking blind alcoholic is calling that a Henka??

>>151939860
Futagoyama is sat right there dude.

Reminder that Futagoyama was such a joke Ozeki first time around that they wouldn't even re-promote him on 34 wins with a 14-1JDGS in there.

l-lewd...

>>151939860
Me.

>>151939071
Koga has been in sumo for years now, and he clearly isn't benefiting from Futagoyama's advice. An incredibly easy and practically free strategy would be to send lower division wrestlers to train at other stables regularly, like the sekitori do.

>>151940034
Koga just needs to get bigger and stronger. That's all there really is to it. If Koga wants to win he can't stay 116kg.

>>151940007
Nice catch.

>>151940114
Koga has already put on 20-25kg since he joined, and it hasn't helped.

>>151940188
>He started out at 90-95kg
Lmao. Wasn't Onosato 100kg at 10 years old?

>>151938457
I would piss myself if Zak randomly out of nowhere whips out a 15-0.

>>151940231
dude already sandwiched a 14-1 between 8-7 & 5-10

>>151940231
Wanna hear something stupid? More Ozeki have gone double zensho than have gone single zensho.

>>151938154
kayo bros...

How did Kayo make it to Makuuchi?

>>151940034
>he clearly isn't benefiting
Yeah, not everyone who is a rikishi is really an athlete. It's a social welfare program.
>send lower division wrestlers to train at other stables
They do this. It was just mentioned in recent slop that they were away at Kokonoe.

/ourguy/

>>151940826
Are they dino nuggies?

weird how an aminishiki trained wrestler ended up so vulnerable to the henka

>>151936365
The answer is that it's boring, that's it, that's the entire problem with a henka rolled into one single word.

Boring.

I love how assblasted aonishiki fanboys are about this hnh

>>151941157
jej

>>151941409
There was that "henka od justice" meme about Waka where he supposedly only did it to those who did it themselves. I'm not really sure where that comes from. If it's actually a thing, it would explain how it surprised Aonishiki.

>>151940921
Sure, but Michael Jordan didn't practice with JV kids.

>>151940826
A disturbing lack of pierogies?

>>151941431
For your guy.

>>151941472
I hate the Aonishiki fanboys and I hate your dumb ass, but it wasn't HNH, it just wasn't a clean Henka, but a henka it was.

In a few days Aonishiki can henka Hosh to complete the cycle

>>151942025
For any guy, see >>151936375.

It's like watching someone get intentionally walked in baseball, sure we all understand the strategy involved but it's really fucking boring. It's not about whether or not said batter was going to hit a home run or strike out, it's about you the viewer, the fan, being robbed of seeing that happen.

>>151942227
Sure, day 15, don't henka, but day 5 do it all day long for all I care. It's literally the opposite of boring because it's unexpected.

>>151942265
Your car not starting in the morning is unexpected, that doesn't mean it's fun.

>>151942285
>that doesn't mean it's fun
Moving the goalposts. Not boring =/= not fun. If you find an integral part of Sumo unenjoyable, find somethign else to watch.

>>151942301
At what point have the goalposts been moved? A henka is boring, it's boring on day 1, day 5, and day 15, it's boring in the 4th division and it's boring if it's two yokozuna in the ring. Something being unexpected does not circumvent the fact that it's boring, it's cheating everyone out of seeing an actual match occur. I would legit rather watch hokuseiho stand in the middle of the ring until a water break is called than anyone henka anyone.

>>151942364
What I just said. A henka is unexpected and therefore NOT boring. Then you said "Oh well it's not fun though!" FOR YOU. An actual match did occur even with a henka because the rikishi that fell always has a chance to keep his feet.
Go watch something else you pathetic bitter faggot.

>>151939093
wtf does this mean I'm from Pistoia and I used to do Deliveroo wtf

henkas are funny, actually.

>>151942445
How the fuck should we know? I speak moonrunes, not wopslop

>>151942408
Something being unexpected does not preclude it from also being boring. I'm sorry but being the worlds #1 henka enjoyer does not mean you are enjoying sumo in it's purest form. For the rest of us it's induces a chuckle or an eye roll, nothing more.

>>151942496
>Something being unexpected does not preclude it from also being boring.
It literally does.

>>151942508
Waka just walking off the dohyo and forfeiting would've been unexpected, and also boring.

>>151942532
Mate, that would have been headline news for weeks. You're an idiot.

>>151942537
I'm not a journalist, I'm a sumo watcher, therefore I want what's most exciting for watching sumo.

>>151942559
>I want what's most exciting for watching sumo
>I would legit rather watch hokuseiho stand in the middle of the ring

>>151942573
>has to create an argument that doesn't exist except in his own mind

>>151942588
Who are you quoting?

Aonishiki has gotten to comfortable and complacent in his expectations. Wakatakakage was just being a good friend by waking him the fuck up on the cusp of becoming an ozeki before it got too late.

>>151942594
Troof.

>>151942573
>mfw watching lower div matches can be more entertaining than juryo

>>151942598
Yes, and? What does that have to do with henka?

>>151941157
add him to the tier list as El Raza Poderoso del Juryo

>>151942606
It's a representation of how little I give a fuck about arguing over top div bouts.
Aonishiki lost, WTK won.
Whatever man.

it was a funny henka

>>151942653
still not as funny as >>151936375

>>151942630
The argument was about the merits of Henka actually.

>>151942664
Be faster on the uptake, henkas aren't a guarantee of victory.

>頭に入ってなかった。自分が悪い。いつも通りしっかり手を伸ばして下から攻めたかった
Dan's arrogant "I'm too good to henka" attitude really bit him in the ass. He is vulnerable to the technique because he isn't familiar with it because he doesn't employ it himself
>b-b-but muh hinkaku!!!
>muh hinkaku and sheeiiiittt muffugguh!!!
Winning is worth more hinkaku than autistic stubbornness is, Terao had boatloads of hinkaku and he was a henka mæstro

>>151942630
>invisible ehoumaki

holy cow what an insane effort by Midorifuji for the Yorikiri with that weight disparity

>>151942686
danGPT is too strong, its already in the database and will not work on him again.

>>151942686
>as always, I wanted to...
Aonishiki has got to stop trying to do the same thing in every match, or he'll pick up one minor injury and suddenly become a joke when he can't use his move. He's got a good body and he's not stupid, he needs to diversify before he gets too old and set in his ways.

Kinbozo's & Shonanoumi's consistent inability to employ their substantial size advantages is worth commenting on

>>151942594
honestly yeah
how many times was he henka'd before this?
bro seems to have climbed up with very little adversity in his way. If this taught Dan something than that's all we need.

>>151942630
low effort

>>151942829
He needs to realize if he's going to be a golden child at the top that ANYBODY will ratfuck you out of a title. Did he even watch cacakeisho?

sumo newfag here i thought henkas were a bad thing and dishonorable?

>>151943041
Nothing is more honorable than victory.

>>151943041
it's still a valid strategy
and no one would even consider how much you do it unless you were being awarded a title that's decided by committee
which means you're hopefully good enough without henka anyways.
I think it would only matter if you got to sanyaku with high percentage of henka victories

Moriurara...

Elder abuse there on Moriurara

POV: You are starting the niramiai and Hoshoryu is your opponent today

Chibizakura

>>151943041
It's considered a cheap shot, a "cheese strat" as the kids would say, but it's a legitimate move. But, if your opponent is ready or reacts well, you are pretty much fucked.

>>151943041
if you're a Yokozuna, Ozeki or Ozeki candidate, then sure
it's safe to say WTK is none of those rn

Kotooshu henka'd 5.6% of the time and in those matches he had an extraordinarily high 92% winning percentage.
He would've made yokozuna if he had henka'd more frequently.

Overall henkas are a very high winning percentage move with a win rate of about 70% for henkaers

>>151944763
>Kotooshu henka'd 5.6% of the time
Where does that number come from?

>>151936643
He's one of the most aesthetic zunas of the century so far, I'll give him that.

There was a basho in 2023 (I think) where Takakeisho pulled a henka in an anticipated match.
The next day somebody (maybe Shodai?) henka'd him in return and it was beautiful. I love revenge henka

Why does Dan have goatse on his apron

>>151944869
the henka database

>>151945931
"Art"

>>151944869
Dan's boss henka'd over 7% of the time and had a much higher wining percentage in those matches than he did overall. Those who don't employ the henka aren't trying to win

>>151946197
>>151946132
... ?

Onosato doesn't henka

>>151936643
It may be because his neutral/focused facial expression makes him look like he's aggrivated. Kinda like how ShiShi's face structure lends him a frowny, sneering kind of expression. Outside of the matches their appearance softens a lot When I was getting into Sumo and didn't know anything but I wanted someone to root for, I happened to gravitate to Takanosho because he just looked cheerful and he's still my top man.

>>151946228
Of course not
Its a technique for lesser beings

>>151946291
I like Takayasu specifically because of his fierce and warlike countenance during bouts

>>151946291
I think part of it for Hoshoryu is that he uses a mouthguard and wears glasses. so his mouth is pushed out like he's pouting and his eyes are squinty like he's glaring, but really that's just a neutral face.

>>151946530
>his mouth is pushed out like he's pouting and his eyes are squinty like he's glaring

What the fuck is this leaf trying to say to me?

All I'm here to say;
Waka did not hentai Aonishiki

>>151946885
he did but it was both justified and funny

Why doesn't koga henka

Ikazuchido Nelly with a strong win to start this basho 3-0.

Clash of the komusubi is tonight's featured sanyaku vs sanyaku contest.
Can 'nosho finally put up a W or is 'yasu destined for victory?

>>151947543
Takayasu takes it.

>>151947614
Is Takanosho injured or does being in sanyaku just make his bussy leak? He puts up double digit disasters every time he is joi or higher

>>151947678
He's just getting old. That wasn't the case 5 years ago.

>>151946885
obviously, if Waka did a hentai I think they would have stopped the match then and there

>>151947862
No, they keep going for a hentai, but if someone does a bukkake, they stop for a "water" break.

>>151947885
Can you go be gay elsewhere

>>151947885
weird, I haven't seen that happen before, but maybe they just don't show it on the televised broadcast

>>151947900
The "water" is for the babes in the audience, you faggot.

Speaking of which, the cold lady on the east side just cracked a smile watching Daikisho bully the fuck outta Satorufuji. I like her.

>>151947992
Hair is indeed a crutch

>>151948560
>>151948567
I agree, reddit. Get this gay sex joke hater out of here. We like jokes about cum and guys drinking cum. Those really improve my sumo experience.

>>151948612
>Cums on rYou

>>151941157

>>151948509
chill out, no one was talking about cum or sperm or ejaculate
just hentai and bukkake

>>151948612
I'm glad you're getting in the mood.

Early start by Fujinokawa. Glad he lost.

manletbros...i thought this was our time...

And just like that, Onosato won the basho

I haven't seen him move with that much urgency in a while..

Did I missed something?

>>151948703
Pas vraiment, non.

>>151948690
He starts early a lot. It's why the other guy always seems caught off guard

DON'T APPLAUD THIS BOUT

STOP CLAPPING

>shitshit
LMAO

Shishi has now lost to Tomokaze THREE (3) fucking times.

Dark Shishi's villain arc isn't doing so hot.

>>151948703
You only need to use the past tense once in a sentence like this, baguette. "Did" is past tense already, making "missed" incorrect. The correct sentence would be "Did I miss something?".

Your welcome.

Also holy fuck Daieisho Prime is BACK

>>151948709
Ok, chef.

>>151948726
>Your welcome
FUCK you for baiting like that. The henka of shitposting.

>>151948727
Pas de problem. Neville est un putain de salope, n'est pas?

What I posted was actually correct, I just thought I'd ruin it at the end.

>>151948726

Your is possessive. You would say "you are welcome" or the contraction, "You're welcome"
>>151948734
I was in the middle of typing when this was posted. I will continue with the post because I am honorabru. Baited.

>>151948726
I should have listened more to my English teacher instead of putting my baguette inside her pudding. But thanks mate for the quick lesson.

>Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
You know, like pretending England is a different country.

I'm ready for Onosato to lose and Atamin to become co-leader.

>>151931435
Over there.

>>151948783
If you're trying to imply that my being better at the English language that an ESL makes me automatically pretentious then honestly you should just kill yourself for being such a retard. And I'm going to let you in on a secret: the UK consists of four countries, those being England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It's like if I called you a Hoosier.

>>151948790

Get a room.

How many yokozuna has Germany produced?

Basho is already interesting desu. There's huge pressure on Hosh now.

So, can we talk about fat men pushing in a circle?

Do you think onosato would do better or worse if he was drunk

>>151948816
What if Tomokaze is the crammer? I've seen what he can do with a bottle of sake.

>>151948823
How many fat men would it take to push a second guinea pig into the circle that is Tamashoho's ass?

>that womans shirt

shameless

I want to have sex with a female sumo fan

Is this what you want?! The cycle of hate-henka works like this; let's learn to break the cycle of hate...

SHISHI TOP FUCKING LOSING MATCHES YOU OAF
YOU CANT GO FROM A 10-5 TO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU DOING NOW

>>151948834
What happened to that dainty little thing that always cheered for Takakeisho?

>>151948838
She went on a diet in solidarity and disappeared.

Well done kusanofuji

>>151948836
shut the fuck up

Here's a complete list of all the rikishi not currently on 5 wins:

>Oshoma
>Kinbozan
>Shishi

And that's literally it. Everyone else is on 5 wins.

>>151948849
what about IN 5 wins?

>>151948827
100% better, he wouldn't restrain himself, he'd shove his opponent 3 meters off the dohyo airborn then do that little pose he does and spend the next 10 minutes staring hoping they're okay while they bring in the "oh fuck he big" stretcher for his dead(broken neck) opponent

>>151948817
I should have tried. I could heem everyone in that dohyo.

>>151948855
I would love to see Onosato fight like end phase Hakuho
Just all out anything goes

That poor guy...

>>151948849
I don't think that is true.

>>151948859
I think he would either immediately become horrifically injured or he would kill someone

>>151948865
Did you ask Tomokaze to shove that stick up your ass because holy fuck that thing's lodged in there tight.

>>151948827
Would you face a truck with no brakes?
>>151948830
3 fat men or 0,5 fully powered Ura or 6 fat Belges.
>>151948836
The henka and its consequences have been a disaster for sumo

>>151948872
It would be an honor to be killed by Onosato on the dohyo

>>151948882
>Would you face a truck with no brakes?
You gotta believe in yourself.

The real redpill is realising there are only 3 men truly worth of Sanyaku right now: Onosato, Hoshoryu, and Aonishiki. Everything else is just random noise.
