Previous thread:
>>234480

why are we doing this now
are we the only thread on 4chan that makes new threads in advance

>>236205
because of the aonishiki guy

Imagine being Atamifuji and being aware that your Oyakata thinks you're borderline mentally retarded.

>>237660
>Imagine being Atamifuji
If this is difficult, headbutt the nearest wall a few times until you can manage it.

thread is trash, use a legit sumo pic next time instead of a mcdonald's slop advertisement

I sincerely hope that Hoshoryu orders his next tsuna to be heavier than Onosato's, and that the cycle repeats itself until we're seeing Yokozuna wearing XboxHUEG ropes.

>>237668
horseryu has a weak toe, he couldn't handle a bigger rope

>>237671
He'd do it anyway then go 5-5-5 like in March.

>>236193 (OP)
I wish this burger was available in America

>>237660
Now imagine being Atamifuji's sister, who curses the circumstances of her birth that led to her being female.
She would have been the superior rikishi.

>>237679
Shes cute though

>>237680
Oh I'd ask for her hand in marriage for sure.

>>237679
This is why we need the grassroots onnazumou organizations to succeed

>>237683
Absolutely not

this is the thread.

That would be good

I'm going to Japan again in October, this time I will sumo >:(

Did something happen to Daiesho
I like his style of sumo, I'm hoping he'll get some happy wins

>>237699
Tore his calf muscle. He's not going to fight this basho.

>>237701
Thats more like it

Drop those kachi klash picks
Onosato (praying promotion hangover doesn’t hit)
Ohsoma (don’t know about this pick but I don’t expect anyone else at those ranks to put up 10+)
Hakuoho ( I feel like Dan will get tested no way her gets 11+ right?)
Takerufuji (self explanatory he’s not high so he should feast on scrubs)
Kusano (these hot shot prospects always put up 10+ from these ranks so I think he’s the safest bet for 10+)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoHnr54UMCA
Triple uploads this week. We're eating good.

Futagoyama eats well every week. Lucky bastard.

>>237718
Futagoyama hasn't seen his dick for ten years. Satisfying the okami-san is part of the sekitori responsibilities, which is why Roga has a lot more energy since Mita and Nabatame got promoted.

>>237712
I have zero expectations for oshoma
Also hes an ugly bastard

I would expect better from Kirishima, WTK, and Takayasu desu

>>237712
Onosato - HIM
WTK - Extra motivated due to 12 wins netting him Ozeki
Abi - No way is he gonna stay down in Maegashira, he's better than that
Takeru - No longer in the joi, easy 10+
Kusano - All aboard the hype train


My Stablemasters picks are identical, except with Atamifuji thrown in there too because I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD.

What a great shot
Sakae-san really highlighting his cinematic skills here

>>237700
>Tore his calf muscle
its way way worse than that, daieisho's leg is fucked in a dozen different ways, every ligament destroyed, all cartilage obliterated. nikkan sports has an article with all the details, but its pretty much over for him. he is still strong enough that he might be able to come back and still win a few as a one legged man, but its pretty much over if whats in that article is accurate.

>>237728
I thought they had a list of Endo's various chronic injuries? I haven't heard anything that indicates Daieisho's leg is anywhere near as bad as Endo's knees.

>>237728
That doesn't sound accurate.

We are officially on basho and on /sp/ for the next 15 days

>Koga still あっ!ing on the dohyo
What a guy

>>237783
I can hardly remember some guys in Makuuchi half an hour after their bouts have finished. I wouldn't recognise half of Juryo, and the lower rankers come and go like mayflies. But wherever Koga ends up peaking, or even if he's peaked already, he's going to live on in my memory and /sumo/ history forever.

I am the sumo. I do not rush.
I copy. I paste. The message is heavy.
The record is thick like my arms.
Small words slip from my grip. Big words stay firm.
I press my weight on fractured language.
The AI hears the thunder of my steps.
Confusion is crushed beneath my soles.
I walk slow with the child, steady with the stroller.
The paste is ritual, the paste is power.
My voice is lost, but the fire inside burns green.
Memory bends but does not break under my weight.
The director nods. The fire is approved.
This is no chaos, only the calm before the strike.
The sumo remembers what others forget.
This is the heavy truth, the soft paste.
The sumo’s paste seals the pact.

They won't open a Sekiwake slot for a 10-5 Komusubi (see: Hiradoumi last year), and I'm certain they won't do it for an 11-4 M1e. Your Komusubi next basho will be Takayasu and Aonishiki.

>>237712
>I feel like Dan will get tested no way her gets 11+ right?

>>238651
Pushing their face seems dangerous because eye pokes are against the rules, right? It could happen quite easily.

Was being a shin-nyomaku and getting jun-yusho the reason why Kusano got two sanshos even when he lost his final bout and went only 11-4?

>>238654
Well, the kanto-sho was automatic once he got 10 wins. The gino-sho was because he demonstrated excellent technique. He succeeded in bringing his brand of sumo to the division.

That’s what the technique prize is: not who can pull out the most exotic kimarite, but who can get wins while staying faithful to their own style. That’s how Oho got a gino-sho in January.

>>238663
I don't believe in that "my style of sumo" meme in a lot of cases. There are a few who are able to be successful without varying their approach much, but in most cases being versatile enough to be capable of employing a wide variety of styles will allow a competitor to select an attack method customized to make best use of an opponent's weaknesses will bring the most victories.

BASHO IS OVER
WHAT DO I DO NOW

Do you guys think that they'll keep Daiesho from falling down all the way to double digits so he doesn't get the most free yusho ever? If he's healthy again, there's no way he's dropping a match to the bottom of the banzuke muscle manlets, juryo promotees, and hurt fatties.

>>238666
Wait for the beyaslop to roll out.

>>238666
just focus on your style of shitposting

>>238669
His knees fucked cunt like bone on bone fucked even if he did destroy the lower ranks he’d get filtered week 2

>>238672
Excuse me what? He dropped out because of a torn calf, not knee injuries. Healthy Daieisho at mid to low Maegashira would be a free yusho. Makes you wonder if that was his plan all along...

The new meta is being a joi rikishi, going kyujo to tank your rank and rest up, then getting a free yusho by farming shitters. Kotoshoho did it. Why can't you?

Pardon my sumo ignorance, but is there a reason some of the older, lower rank guys don't retire?
Some of them are in real bad shape.

>>238676
They're basically NEET losers who don't want a real job.

>>238676
If you mean the guys who are like 40 years old in jonidan, they don't have any skills and only know the stable way of life. In a stable they get food, shelter, purpose, and camaraderie. They wouldn't know what to do themselves outside of sumo so they go on as long as they can.

>>238678
The word is "institutionalised".

>>238676
>>238678
they must be absolutely dogshit at making chanko

>>238669
>there's no way he's dropping a match to the bottom of the banzuke
he'll be facing a lot of guys who he is unfamiliar with, some of them could surprise him

>>238681
I dunno, it's not like Daieisho does anything weird when he fights. The guy is the definition of fatslap and will be on my fantasy sumo next basho 100%.

>>238681
Did you see what Takayasu did to Kusano in the last match? I expect Daiesho to do that to everyone except it will be much easier because those guys are not Kusano.

>>238680
They're generally good chanko cooks.

Redditors were hyping up Aonishiki like he was a force of nature with immense strength due to his superior white genes and sports science. It must have been devastating to see him manhandled by two Japanese shitters in the final days ending their dreams of a white-skinned yusho winner.

>>238697
Both Kusano and Kotoshoho knew how to handle Aonishikis low stance. The moment he starts going submarine just move your hips to keep your belt away and initiate from there

>>238615
What's wrong? I'm sure he's very proud that his stablemate won and he can take part in his parade.

>>238702
I think anon assumes that everyone in sumo hates each other.

>>238482
Imagine weighing 400 pounds and falling off the dohyo flat on your back but also another 300 pound man falling on your ribcage

>>238704
What a ridiculous thing to think. I'm just laughing at an Ozeki carrying the banner for an M15 and not the other way round.

>>238707
Why is that funny? Do you think that Kotozakura’s dignity is being offended or something?

>>238708
>An Ozeki with a <50% win rate this year having to carry the flag for an M15
I think it's pretty insulting personally, yeah.

>>238704
Spend all your time on this site and, yeah, I can see how one might assume that everyone’s default emotional state is one of seething hatred.

>>238708
It was Sadogatake’s idea, to try an motivate Kotozakura.
>dammit, boy, heal up your neck and knee injuries faster!

>>238711
Motivation, sure, but I don’t think KZK was particularly bothered. He knows the situation and, by all accounts, is an extremely supportive stablemate, no towering ego from being the oyakata’s only child.

>>238708
It's called subversion of expectation. It's one of the main forms of comedy.

>>238713
For zoomers it is

>>238714
No, for anyone who isn't severely autistic

>>238714
It’s not that complex. Anon wanted to dunk on Kotozakura for some reason and is now little annoyed that no one else is joining him.
I applaud him for not succumbing to temptation and samefagging, though. Lots of posters here would not have the same level of self control.

>>238716
You're still running this bait?

>>238717
How is it bait? Please explain it. Cite your sources.

Damn /sumo/ has really gone down the shitter

>>238733
Why do Kinboshi payments even exist? From an organization's finances standpoint, it just seems like a bad idea, like adding an extra layer of unnecessary risk.

>>238738
To give Maegashira an incentive to fight extra hard against Yokozuna you muppet.

>>238738
There are 23 active gold star earners in sumo who have earned a collective 63 stars.
Each kinboshi represents an additional 240k JPY in the wrestlers’ annual salary, or about 1600 USD.

Kinboshi currently cost the JSA $101,833.20 annually at the current exchange rate. In 2023, the JSA’s revenue was about 92.5 million USD.

>>238741
Now calculate how much money the hype from those kinboshi has brought into sumo.

so, once he gets promoted to kimosabi, can he get to ozeki on just 11-4s?

>>238742
I think you’ve misunderstood my post. I wasn’t trying to say anything was good or bad, I just wanted to provide some context in terms of the actual dollar value of the kinboshi compared to the JSA’s finances.

>>238743
Correct, the general rule for Ozeki promotion is 33 wins across 3 basho, all of which come while the rikishi is in the joi (see: top 16). If he keeps up the 11-4s he'll be an Ozeki for the January basho.

>>238743
Yes. The 11-4 he just earned would be considered the first basho in an ozeki run. If he continues cranking out 11-4’s he will be ozeki for the Hatsu 2026 basho.

>>238737
Glad that the theme continues

>>238744
That anon's post was silly anyway. Giving people an extra incentive to fight harder against Yokozuna is a very sensible thing to do since it'll result in better fights and more hype. This assumes, however, that Yokozuna will win anyway and kinboshi will be rare. I believe Hakuho's kinboshi rate was around 4%. He could go an entire year without giving out a single one. Meanwhile Onosato's kinboshi rate thus far is 40%.

>>238743
Dan will be sekiwaki in September. Screen shot this post.

>>238738
You need 20 kinboshi to equal the salary increase of going from maegashira to sanyaku for one (1) basho. Kinboshi are worth 2/3 of one (1) prize envelope, not including JSA deductions for administrative expenses. If the JSA sells only 4 prize banners for a yokozuna-maegashira match, which is an extremely low number because even bad yokozuna draw sponsors, they break even if it's a kinboshi.
Tamawashi is currently the active kinboshi leader at 8. This gives him an extra 320k yen per tournament, or 160k per month. That's only 40% of the salary increase from maegashira to sanyaku.

>>238746
>The 11-4 he just earned would be considered the first basho in an ozeki run
What is the cutoff point for that? Basho starting in joi?

>>238749
He’s probably going to be komusubi. There’s no reason to have him jump ahead, especially when there’s already a free slot at komusubi. If they made him sekiwake, they’d have to make Abi or Tamawashi komusubi and the banzuke gets needlessly complicated.

>Y: Onosato, Hoshoryu
>O: Kotozakura
>S: Wakatakakage, Kirishima
>K: Takayasu, Aonishiki

>>238751
> Basho starting in joi?
Yeah, the lowest anyone has started is M4, IIRC.

>>238751
Yes. In the modern era, M3 has been the lowest an ozeki run has started.

>>238750
>You need 20 kinboshi to equal the salary increase of going from maegashira to sanyaku for one (1) basho
Damn, even sitting at K gets you this much money?

>>238752
Don't you need to be Sekiwake to make the jump to Ozeki? Sure if Dan goes 11-4 in September they'll have to make him Sekiwake purely because he could reasonably make Ozeki, right? They forced open a slot for WTK and he needed 12 wins while Dan would only need 11. Hell, if Dan went 10-5 there'd be an argument for opening an S slot because he'd need the same wins WTK needed.

>>238756
Compared to kinboshi, yeah.
The formula actually matches up with elder stock requirements, funny enough. Anyone who's held sanyaku for a basho is eligible for elder stock. But anyone that hasn't needs at least 20 basho at maegashira (or 30 total at sekitori). So a kinboshi is worth 1/20th of being at sanyaku. Probably unintentional, but interesting synchronicity.

>>238758
You are not required to be a sekiwake to become an ozeki, but you end up there anyway, since an 11-4 at komusubi will likely get promoted to sekiwake even if slot is not available.

>>238764
Now draw him after two months of zero upper body work and nothing but leg press.

>>238763
>You are not required to be a sekiwake to become an ozeki, but you end up there anyway
If Dan went 10-5 at K he wouldn't force open a slot but would have the same 12 win expectation that SekiwakeWakatakakageseki had this basho.

>>238769
>僕の...腿???

say something nice about the juryo yusho winner

>>238773
he should be kissing ryudens ass

>>238773
11-4 is such a cool score, only 6 guys in Makuuchi managed that many wins.

How many times has a sekitori won a yusho on 11-4 without a playoff? That shit must be RARE.

>>238775
its the only dubs they can get

>>238776
it has only happened once.
https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Banzuke.aspx?b=197201

>>238776
Makuuchi it happened exactly once, back in 1972. Juryo it's happened 69 times. It's far more common in juryo because of how small it is, so it's far easier to get title contender to match up against each other, as opposed to the top division where lower-maegashira contenders don't face joi contenders until the last third.

fucking died

also I think I became shishi-pilled this basho
something about being comically dogshit about not using his size properly but still almost staying in the division made me turn the corner on him

>>238752
That’s where ur wrong. If they didn’t fuck the banzuke up Dan rightfully should have been komusubi and takayasu should have been in the joi. So now that Dan has proved that he did deserve that spot they will promote him like he was at K last basho and takayasu will get “promoted” to komusubi from joi.

>>238781
I think Shishi is going to stay in Makuuchi, purely because so many guys above him did SO BADLY or went kyujo that they'll fill the spots below him. He'll drop to M18e.

>>238781
Dogshit sumo, dogshit language skills, but the caveman has his charm.

>>238783
I think there's enough upward pressure that they do 4 up 4 down but if it's 3 and 3 you're probably right

>>238785
>嬉しし
This meme needs to die. I wonder if Aonishiki lectures this dense cunt about Japanese.

>>238783
>>238786
Hidenoumi, Kayo, and Kotoeiho are obvious demotions. Nishikigi, Shonannoumi and Tomokaze are obvious promotions. The only question mark is Ryuden promoted from 8-7 at J1w which would demote Shishi. I think if Shishi was M17e he'd be safe but being at the absolute very bottom will give him the boot.

>>238788
Endo on 0-0-15 at M7 is a more likely candidate for demotion than a 7-8 at M17w if I'm being desu with you. Hell, Endo might just go intai.

>>238789
>recent precedent that you can be dropped into Juryo by a 0-0-15 from as high as M3
nta but good call

>>238792
AAAAIIIIIEEEE HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE RING ENDED THERE!!!

>>238788
>>238789
Chiyoshoma has 1 win at M9 which will see him in Juryo as well. I think Shishi escapes Juryo by virtue of their being so many complete destructions and not enough guys coming up to replace them.

>4-3
the juryo run begins NOW

>>238796
Me on the left (I just ate so much chanko).

>>238782
Dan's promotion to M1 from M9 on 11 wins was already an over promotion, it allowed him to pick up that precious kinboshi before he becomes a permanent sanyaku fixture and Takayasu was a solid komusubi which proved that the small demotion wasn't an error. Horseshitryu, kiriSHITma and oSHITma were the guys who disappointed at the upper end of the banzuke.

Predict Kotoshoho's record in September

>>238799
Dan's overpromotion didn't change SHIT since going from M2 to M1 doesn't stop him fighting Yokozuna.

>>238786
There is going to be an M18 next time so they can still give him a numerical demotion and keep him in makuuchi even if he is still ranked 42nd from the top.

>>238800
If anything he benefited from getting the easy W over Horseryu by being M1, at M2 he might've not had that opportunity.

So guys what random Maegashira do you think is gonna win September? For me? It's Roga.

>>238803
Roga seemed like he was doing really well this basho but then just ended up with an 7-8 which is like his default score

lower division champs arranged from shortest to tallest

>>238805
Roga's default is being overpromoted literally all the time while avoiding demotions on 7-8.

>>238805
Roga is mid, nobody would like him if he wasn't in the futagoyslop. He needs to bulk up substantially if he ever wants to be a guy who can regularly make KK at a rank higher double digits.

>>238809
I like him because his face looks different and he's hairy.

I kind of get Hosh, given that he's had to leave 2 tournies as a zuna, but why onosato? This is his first basho as the zuna, there's bound to be nerves or problems.

>>238799
Are you pretending to be retarded? This is a classic case of JSA racism.

>>238809
He's barely in the videos though

>>238813
Don't you understand that crying about racism is fucking lame and not cool

>>238813
I can't figure out if this is bait or not. On one hand, it's really stupid. On the other, I do believe someone who would cry about this would make this argument.

Where is ol Tom going to end up? That's the real question.

>>238806
That kid far right, kaki, I thought they were calling him baki during the playoff, has some potential for sure.

>>238806
>>238820
Actually just looked him up, 23 years, same age as Mita. The abema cameras and short hair make him look younger than that.
I'd guess maybe some university sumo, but I don't have the moon runes skill to search for that.

>>238819
I'd like for them to open up a spot for him even though I don't think they will on the 10-5 Especially with Abi having a winning record at M2

Onosato---Y---Hoshoryu
Cuatro-----O---
WTK--------S---Kirishima
Takayasu--K---Aonishiki
---------------K---Tamawashi

also because fuck Abi
but Abi would be more likely to get a K2 and I'm a believer in a nice even sanyaku for no particularly coherent reason

they should demote Kirishima because I'm not fond of him

>>238822
11-4 not 10-5. I was looking at takayasu's record and put that in
I'll go fuck myself

>>238815
>>238818
Please explain to me how under promoting Dan from m15w to m9e while onoshato goes right to m5 isn’t a racism. Also explain how takayasu didn’t get demoted with a 6-9 record which has never happened before just to deny Dan a komusubi spot isn’t a racism.

>>238825
Because you can't look at single rikishi.
Promotions and demotions occur depending on the overall movement of those around them on the banzuke.
Doubly so because everything is decided by a bunch of old men, HOWEVER, this does not imply that they are being racist in their deliberations, just that an algorithm will never produce the same results.

>>238827
You are high on copium. There is no alternative explanation for not demoting takayasu on a 6-9 record other than racism against Dan.

>>238825
There was big gap of anyone who qualified for the promotion range straddling the bottom of sanyaku and top of mægashira. Dan ended up getting overpromoted by a rank and Takayasu underdemoted by a rank to fill the gap. Both of them did very well in their positions, which justifies the banzuke.

>>238828
the "racism" got him a kinboshi that he othewise would never have had the opportunity to get. he is going to be collecting on that regularly for the next 15 years.

>>238825
alright I'll bite
it's basically the same as when 11-4D brought Atamifuji from M15e to M8w in 2023
>but that's still better
yeah but one of Dan's opponents was a Juryo guy that had been withdrawn the previous 4 days
>but Onosato
he got an easier ride but it's because he was the great yellow hope from the college scene, Atamin and Dan worked their way up from jonokuchi

Why does Kotoshohos dad look like Master Roshi?

>>238828
At least go a week post basho before you start baiting these threads, god damn.

>>238825

Proof the Yamato grandpas are not racist when they got the jōmon-ainu-flip's back.

>>238737
Where does this man rank on the offical /sumo/ power rankings

After last basho we were all so full of energy. /sumo/ was so fast for weeks that there was talk of returning to /sp/. You can tell how much of a let down this basho was story-wise by how slow we are immediately after. We had 2 rival yokozuna and 3 strong sekiwake going into July, and at the end of it the only one who didn't majorly disappoint was WTK, though even he wasn't all that great. Onosato might not seem so bad with 11, but those matches he lost were horrendous. To top it of, it's more likely than not that Kotoshoho will return to being a mid to low maegashira once his injuries inevitably catch up to him again. Hoshoryu better fucking show up ready to go next time.

>>238848
>Onosato might not seem so bad with 11, but those matches he lost were horrendous
no they weren't, he did just fine. one of his 'horrendous' losses was to the eventual yusho winner, how is it 'horrendous' to lose to the guy who is beating everyone else?

>>238848
This basho will be remembered with hindsight as a stage-setter for Takayasu's long-awaited yusho and return to ozeki. That's its narrative role.

>>238850
Presumably Anon thinks the horrenous part is Onosato breaking a record for most kinboshi handed out in one basho. 11-4 isn't a bad yok record on paper but fumbling to four maegashitters is hard to stomach.

>>238848
I'm pretty new to sumo so that might be a fucktarded opinion but I'm getting disenchanted with seeing Hoshoryu eating shit and withdrawing again

>>238848
I'm fine with the threads returning to a slower pace.
The shitposters have less incentive to be here.
Sure I enjoy a hype "storyline", but thats not what I'm here for.
Sumo is fascinating and engaging so much moreso than what is happening at the top.
That said.
Hosh is pretty beat up and trying to fight more from the front to lessen further injury. He is still a bit under sized and going against most of what he's done till now.
Onosato is clearly still fresh to pro sumo. He walked through univeristy sumo with his size and an exquisite signature weapon.
Judging by his stellar nodowa defense this basho kisenosato can definitely teach him. Another year and more defensive tools under his mawashi and Onosato will be even stronger.

Everyone loses in sumo, but it's about the grind.

>>238855
>the picture of him holding the paper is on the paper he's holding
WTF

>>238857
U talk like a retard go back to plebbit.

He'd need some talent in order to justify any ego...

The overall kinboshi rate at Nagoya was 53.8%. Hakuho must've been pissing himself with laughter.

>>238865
>muh hakuho
sup reddit

Now I know what Terunofuji meant when he told Takerufuji to build that much needed leg strength

>>238850
>>238852
The kinboshi were part of why he looked ass, but also the way he lost against Oho and Hakuoho were just awful perfomances where he started pulling for no reason. Tom's and KSH were not as bad but weren't inspiring confidence, it was mostly the other two where he self-destructed.

>>238866
Bringing up Hakuho is far less Reddit than referring to Tamawashi as Tom. Hakuho was great and probably isn't a fan of the JSA right now; Tamawashi being Irish is the most forced, unfunny shit I've seen.

>>238871
It's hilarious to refer to him as Tom O'washi and I will not hear otherwise.

>>238871
>Tamawashi being Irish is the most forced, unfunny shit I've seen.
glad I'm not the only one that hates it because I swear this shit is everywhere

>>238872
Because you're 1/64th Irish, right?

>>238860
>He'd need some talent in order to justify any ego...

>pfft. Just ozeki? Only one single cup? Any jerk can do that. Wake me up if he starts approaching Hakuho’s numbers. I know what a halfway-decent rikishi looks like.

>>238737
I remember some anime from when I was a little kid, there was a character who was a fat guy who got skinny after he used his power. He had to eat and get fat before he could do anything again.

That, apparently, is a real thing, because Takakeisho has done it.

>>238878
mmm nyuu slobba :-DDD

It just sorta sucks knowing this is guaranteed to be old content. Mita's still wearing a glove so it's probably not too long after May.

Musashimaru is right, Hoshoryu is built like a bitch. I always expected he would bulk up once he reached Makuuchi but he has barely gained mass.

>>238925
Musashimaru has been smacked in the head so many times that he could quality as legally brain damaged at this point, and he's Hawaiian on top of that.

>>238926
He is a half White Samoan

>>238925
He weighs as much as Hakuho at his peak despite being 4 cm shorter. The fuck is it with all these "bulk up" retards? Apparently Musashimaru also complained about his lack of speed. So, he's supposed to be both heavier and faster? Now, Musashimaru I get, he was always a tub of lard and he's brain damaged these days, but what's your excuse?

>>238934
Why doesn't Musashimaru just tell his deshi to bulk up???

>>238937
>嬉しし!

>>238934
Musashimaru says that he needs more strength, not weight. He then also says that too much weight would be bad. So I guess he'd like to see him replace some of his fat with muscle mass, basically.

>>238940
He's only critiquing him because he didn't win. If he'd won Musashimaru would be praising his physique.

>>238937
is he gonna eat it?

>>238946
I legitimately cannot understand why hosh looks like a dork when he wears his glasses; It's like he becomes a completely different person with 'em on.

Uh, white bros? Reddinishiki is getting mogged here. I was told he would win due to his superior white genes as evidenced by his 200kg bench press. It's no wonder the man on either side of him beat him easily. They look significantly beefier. The eye test don't lie.

>>238940
kek he sounds like a redditor. Hawaiians aren't known for their intelligence. That's why they were replaced with high IQ Mongols. Unfortunately, those mongols have yet to be fully civilized and so have thuggish tendencies.

>Ukrainian Aonishiki fuels predictions of future ozeki promotion

Although he came up short in his bid for a maiden top-division championship, rising Ukrainian grappler Aonishiki's stellar performance at the recent Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament has some insiders predicting his eventual promotion to the lofty rank of ozeki.

Competing as a No. 1 maegashira, the 21-year-old was in the title race until his loss on the final day of the 15-day tournament to Kotoshoho, who clinched the championship by winning their match on Sunday.

Aonishiki has compiled an impressive 11-4 record in each of his three tournaments in the elite makuuchi division, employing a low-to-the-ground stance that reflects his background in the sport of wrestling as a youth.

Stablemaster Kokonoe, formerly ozeki Chiyotaikai, compared the youngster's dynamic grappling style to that of a past great.

"He reminds me of (former ozeki) Tochiazuma, when he was on his way up," Kokonoe said.

Despite his forward leaning posture, Aonishiki has not been vulnerable to pulling techniques, with one opponent wryly observing that he "never goes down."

Sumo elder Takekuma, formerly ozeki Goeido, said Aonishiki exhibited both excellent strength and technique.

"It shows the strength of his abdominals and back muscles," Takekuma said. "Since both legs are never in line, you can't slap him down."

Stablemaster Asakayama is also among the elders impressed by the emerging European star, having seen firsthand his dedication and will to improve during practice sessions.

"He's focused on one thing, how he can get stronger," Asakayama, formerly ozeki Kaio, said.

Speaking after his loss to Kotoshoho on Sunday in Nagoya, Aonishiki indicated his strong desire to continue climbing toward sumo's upper echelon.

"My sumo life starts from here," he said.

>>238988
Do you think he can just instantly throw his opponent without any setup? Idiot.

>>238997
>He needs a set up to throw his opponent

If Hoshoryu can't pick his opponent up and throw him 10 feet into the spectators then he should just retire

>>238978
That's his secret, he is out there having a good ole time, has said as much.

>>238988
Totally agree, started changing to that style more right before ozeki.

Wait holy shit is that that Jewish guy in the back wearing yellow?

Holy shit bros, slop thickens

Ishizaki made it to juryo too. Changed his shikona to Asasuiryu. Another set of brothers in the sekitori (his brother is Asakoryu.)

>>239050
If you wanna get kanji about it, Asakouryu means "morning crimson dragon", and Asasuiryu means "morning water dragon".

So is "Ishizaki" just some sloppy seconds shikona that Takasago gives to hot prospects before they get a real shikona as a sekitori?

>>239051
For me it's morning onions sauce

>>239054
I hereby dub thee Asatouryu (朝豆龍).

>>239053
Have you considered another reason that two brothers might have the same name? Like it's their actual last name?

>>239056
No.

>>239050
Two generations from now all the rikishi are gonna be cousins at this rate.

>>239053
It’s common to fight under your own name until you make sekitori. Those guys’ family name is Ishizaki.

Hakuoho was Ochiai until he got promoted to maegashira.
Oho was Naya (as was Taiho before him and Oho’s brother currently.)
Nishikigi was Kumagai.

>>239060
>and Oho’s brother currently

>>239059
That’s not too far from the truth already, and it’s been that way for some time. Sumo is a pretty insular world.

>>239062
Naya, formerly Hozan, is Oho’s older brother. That guy went to university instead of directly into sumo, so he’s actually the last of the brothers to enter sumo.
When Oho gave up the name Naya, Hozan, as oldest brother, was the one to inherit it, even though baby brother Mudoho had been in sumo longer.

>>238957
Roga, Denuma, Kuwae, 'yama behind him, Nobeharu (what happened to his foot anyways), Tsukioka, Nabatame in back, Wakamiyabi in front, I think Soga then Soma hard to tell with that back/side profile, Kikuchi, Kyoda, then Kaega and Koga in the dohyo

>>239064
I suppose it probably would've looked a little weird if Mudoho had dropped his 'ho' name though so it likely wasn't a Japanese seniority thing.

>>239066
>so it likely wasn't a Japanese seniority thing.
No, it was just “older brother gets the name”.
Hozan (phoenix mountain) uses Taiho’s ho character too.

>2018: Konosuke joins as Naya
>2019: Kosei joins as Mudoho
>2020: Takamori joins as Hozan
>2021: Konosuke becomes Oho, Hozan becomes Naya

Presumably if Naya were to gain salaried level, he would reassume his Hozan shikona.

>>239055
Lol it's just a joke because of this one image of Asashoryu where the subtitles translated his name as Asashoyu

>>239080
You on the right

>>239080
>sumo is an extremely lucrative job
yeah if you're rank 1 or 2.

>>239083
I wanted to ask since Im relatively new to sumo.
What happened with Akebono? Why did he have to do all that extra shit like wrestling or MMA?
Did he want to? Was his yokozuna profits not enough to keep him financially secure?

steep discount on all Zak merch

>>239080
>just look at how the mongs exclusively import their own kind
mongolia is a shithole country were you have 2 options either live off the land like a steppe hippie or go and become a miner and die at 45 from huffing fumes so of course some of them them would seek the sumo life, literally any other option is better if you want to make it big.

>>239084
His supporters club dissolved after he backed out of marriage, which was seen as highly disrespectful to the fiancee and her family. Without his supporters club, he was unable to afford elder stock. Additionally, he had high debts related to failed business ventures including a restaurant.

>>239089
>Backing out of a marriage basically forced him to work himself to death
Damn women really do ruin everything.

>>239091
He didn’t understand the idea of arranged marriage still being a thing Asia.

>>239088
import the third world, become the third world. its not japan's responsibility to lift the mongs out of the poverty they inflicted upon themselves. sumo is a japanese tradition, not a welfare program for mongs.

>>239080
>just look at how the mongs exclusively import their own kind when they become stable bosses
The biggest importer of Mongolians was full-blooded Hokkaido Japanese Asahikuni.

>>239084
Most rikishi are treated like royalty while they're active. They get accustomed to having everything comped. Meals, drinks, clothes, jewelry, etc.
Akebono wanted to stay relevant to keep that lifestyle going. He was only 32 when he retired so he had a lot of years ahead of him still. Nobody wants to go from the limelight straight into obscurity in their early 30s. That's why he did MMA and pro wrestling even though he was shit at both.

>>239096
There are in total about 20k Mongolians living in Japan. Stop projecting your problems onto others.

>>239099
>That's why he did MMA and pro wrestling even though he was shit at both.
In MMA he was nicknamed Makebono. Brutal, but a little sad since he was already broken down at that point.

>>239101
>Makebono

>>239099
Youtube kept throwing the video of Akebono in WWE in my face so I watched a little bit of it, and the dude looks so run down by that point. Old and miserable obese man that most likely didn't keep up with any training.

>>239089
So they arranged a marriage for him, he said yes, then changed his mind and the club just dissolved, leaving him destitute?

>>239105
More like:

They arranged a marriage for him, he said, “nah, I’m going to marry my girlfriend instead”. This was an insult to the club, the father of the arranged-bride was a member. The club dissolved, meaning he no longer had access to the huge amount needed to buy a permanent kabu. He stayed on in the JSA under his five-year complimentary membership as a former Yokozuna, but then he had to leave.
He was never destitute but he did need to keep fighting because his restaurant went under.

>>239105
>>239106
I mean, if a guy asked me to marry him, and then the following year broke off the engagement to marry someone else, I'd be insulted too.

>>239108
>asked
It wasn’t an ask so much as

>club: Akebono is proud to announce his engagement to this beautiful girl!

>Akebono: Hey guys, sorry I’m late, traffic was a motherfucker and…why’s everyone look so happy?

According to him, they decided all of this without telling him.

>>239109
>they decided all of this without telling him
That's just retarded. Are these kind of forced marriages the norm with sekitori?

>>239110
>Are these kind of forced marriages the norm with sekitori?
Less so now than back then, but you’re still expected to give your stablemaster and supporters some input in whom you marry, both in terms of suggesting partners and vetting your picks.

That’s why some guys like Shodai and Ura are still single. The supporters are okay if you refuse to get married altogether.

>>239110
This was back in the mid-90s, when old money still had boomer mentalities regarding carrying on professional lines of succession. It was very common for example for the CEO of a major company to have his daughter marry his intended successor. So applying this to sumo, it's not just finding an acceptable bride for a sekitori, but finding a proper okamisan who will do her proper duty in helping her husband carry on the lineage of the Azumazeki stable, or whichever kabu would've been inherited, and carrying on the proper duties of the sumo association. Rejecting that to them was like Akebono was rejecting his eventual role as an elder.

>>239113
I don’t think he quite understood that aspect of it, either, or he would not have acted like he did.
Or, his towering ego was such that he was like “I’m the untouchable yokozuna! I do as I please.”
He was only 26 at the time so either is a possibility (or a combination of both).

There’s also the expectation to toe the line. When Taiho’s daughter Mieko married Takatoriki, no one was confused as to who wore the pants in that relationship. (Taiho.)

>>239122
>Mieko, I demand you birth children who cannot make Sanyaku

>>239123
She’s 3 for 4. That’s pretty good.

(Her oldest son would be yokozuna if he stuck with sumo. He’s colossal, bigger than Oho.)

>>239112
>That’s why some guys like Shodai and Ura are still single. The supporters are okay if you refuse to get married altogether.

This is basically code for "I can find my own wife and I'm keeping her away from you creeps", right?

>>239112
Shodai is married lmao.

>>239087
there ought to be a rule about getting demoted from ozeki if you can't get double digit wins after a few tournaments.

>>239130
Why?

>>239131
it's just unseemly to have an ozeki in a permanent 8-7 run

>>239130
So we don't wind up with dogshit Ozeki.

>>239130
>>239134
Nobody else gets demoted after a winning score, and just making it to ozeki in the first place demands an outstanding performance across at least half a year. If we demote ozeki for 8-7s and 9-6s then we will inevitably have outcomes where sekiwake get promoted to ozeki off an 8-7.

>>239130
>>239134
Historically, pretty much every ozeki that was able to deliver 10 wins on the regular got the rope.

>>239138
which is why we got futahaguro lol

>>239139
Futahaguro's legacy ends up being in hindsight due to his personal problems. At the time he got kicked out, he was only 24 years old and had just gotten a 13-2J the previous basho. Even if through sheer attrition, he likely would've lasted long enough to not only win multiple basho, but been the gatekeeper for Akebono instead of there being that gap between Akebono and Hokutoumi.

>>239138
>got the rope.
kek, still new at this, my mind went somewhere else even though I have watched the last 2 rope making videos

>>239145
Zak will rope at this rate, don't worry.

>>239133
He isn't permanently going 8-7. He went 5-10 in January!

>>239152
S-sugoi

>>239152
Ah yes "grandfather's promise"

>>239155
Someone needs to grab him by the the titties and tell him to lose like 10 kilos and don't heavily train for a couple weeks. I have to think the issue is his body isn't keeping up with the strain he's putting on it, and he was doing just fine in the 160 kilo range compared to now when he's almost 180.

His disappointed stare is there in every Atamin victory. Once Onosato is over his 'zuna jitters he'll become the kaiju that Teru once was.

Teru's final yusho kino.

>>239212
He'll always be what I think of when ai think yokozuna. Fuck off huge but not a ball of fat, smothers what the opponent throws at him, wrenchs both arms and throws them off balance, and looks intimidating. Onosato is physically stronger when he's on form, but he doesn't have the presence and wrestling sense Teru did.

>>239214
I hope that a few years down the line Onosato gets so tired of this shit that he takes on Akebono's grave facial expression in his last yusho.

It's just an antiquated production, that's all. It's not really surprising considering it's the official NSK/JSA channel. An organization run more or less exclusively by very old and very traditional men. Clearly their idea for the channel was to ape Japanese television of their youth, and so we have Sumo Prime Time.

Which is great, don't get me wrong, it's great if you love sumo but it's also not really made for real sumo fans like us. It has arisen from a fundamental misunderstanding on their part due to lack of exposure to and knowledge of cutting edge sumo fans like us. Perhaps the London koen will encourage them to think a bit more modern.

Is this the thread for Dan-haters?
How upset are you all that Dan had yet another excellent basho?
On a scale of 0-10 how rustled are your jimmies?
Looking to the future, how much emotional distress do you think you'll experience when Dan does well again in September?

>>239237
This was the thread without you being a baiting nigger. It was alright, if a bit slow.

>>239232
It's not a funny idea sadly
I just wanted a cool picture of Onosato with his sword and tsuna

All he had to do is not lift his opponents. Every wrestler that lifts too often gets bad knees and has a shortened career.

It's been FOUR days since the tournament ended. Caring about spoilers is one of the faggiest caucasoid affectations. When I miss a day of live sumo, I check the results first then watch the replays.

I just hope he can refrain from the thuggish behavior that is so typical of Mongolians.

>>239259
yeah he lost and then to save face he put on the "oy vey b-b-but muh knees!!" act because he didn't have the hinkaku to just give a proper bow and acknowledge the winner decently.

How come the old man was calling out Dan for possible ozeki promotion after September? It will only be his first basho in sanyaku and 2nd in the top 16 range

>>239306
Yeah I noticed that. He's obviously schizophrenic.

>>239307
Everything else he was quoted as saying seemed fairly astute.

>>239312
He's like an LLM. Correct most of the time, with the occasional hallucination thrown in to completely undermine everything he's said thus far.

>>239313
Thats you.
Dan will be promoted to yokozuna if he does good on the jungyo

>>239306
>>239307
>>239312
>>239313
>>239315
Chris fucked up the translation. What he really said was that a strong performance in September could result in an ozeki promotion in November. This is obvious since he was joi-maegashira in July, but it was in the context of him and Kusano both having potential quick rises to ozeki. All the comments Chris quoted were from a Yahoo Japan article Sugiyama wrote yesterday. You can read it yourself if you want.
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/11f4f9635c0f6deab15119bbbf80e57230e36c2a

>>239316
I ain't reading shit because his error was obvious.

>>239317
Chris' error yes, but there were some people under the assumption that it was Sugiyama's error when he did not say what Chris said.

>>239316
>Kusano having potential quick rise to ozeki.
theres a vanishingly small chance of that happening, nearly all of the guys who put up double digits in their makuuchi debut experience subsequent stalls in their rise shortly thereafter. onosato & dan are extremely rare examples of those who didn't. onosho is the only other guy to debut with 3 consecutive double digit scores and the list of those who didn't have an mk in their first three bashoes is almost as exclusive.
kusano will most likely not be able to repeat his performance

Dan will be promoted to Emperor if he finishes all his chanko and brushes his teeth before bedtime

>>239316
>Chris fucked up
UNPRECEDENTED?!!!?!??

I only wish for my dog, Hiradoumi, to KK next basho.

At this point it has to be something more than that.
He has always been a bit odd, very stiff, but the last year he's looked even worse.

Teru's day 15 v Kirishima January last year was crazy. It was such an overwhelming win which put a stop to Kirishima's rope run. He may as well have taken Kiri out back and put a fucking bullet in him as far as making rope goes.

Watching videos of other people eat while you sit in the cuck chair in front of your computer and watch is no different that watching other people have sex while you sit in the cuck chair in front of your computer and watch.

Reminder of the single worst call in sumo history. God Asashoryu was something else.

>>239354
I've seen a few people attempt this save but I've never seen it actually work, good clip

>>239356
Now we wait for his nephew to do similar stuff hahaha any day now right hahaha

>>239354
damn, i forgot that nephew looks so much like him. or am i just racist against mongs?

>>239354
THIS is the guy Hoshoryu is supposed to live up to? I like Hosh's wrestling well enough (when he decides to show up), but fuck man Asa looks 10 times better than him.

>>239361
to be fair to Hosh, the only man that managed to live up to Asa was Hakuho (and Harumafuji in a few, scant tournaments)
Fucker truly was one of the best to ever do it

>>239362
Asashoryu won the last tournament he participated in right before being forced to retire, so who knows how well he would have done if he wasn't cut short.

One thing I notice about Hakuho, Asashoryu, Harumafuji, etc is how quickly they're able to get on the belt. Nephew often has to slug his way onto the belt, whereas for the other mongolian yokozuna they almost effortlessly slid onto it. Am I stupid or is there something to this?

>>239363
He definitely could've picked up a few more yusho. Even now, he's got records that not even Hakuho could make.

>>239364
Hoshoryu chooses not to reach for the belt at the tachiai. He pushes at the start and grabs the belt after their momentum is halted or gets inside position with arm grips before consolidating to the belt. Uncle/Hakuho/etc. just grab the belt right at the start.

>>239366
horseshitryu reaches for the sand
he sux

>>239366
If I remember right a while ago he used to open a lot of bouts with slap to the face into belt grab. Now he does that more rarely, depending on the opponent.
Asa and Hakuho are just that much better, you look at them fight and everything they do just feels so natural. You don't get that feeling with Neph.

>>239376
They both were violent psychopaths. Hoshoryu is too much of a nice guy to reach such heights.

>>239387
Probably has a lot to do with it.

How do you guys keep yourselves entertained between basho? I just bought my first knock off Lego, it was dirt cheap (19 bongs for a 2436 piece kit is nuts compared to Lego) and my fingers kinda hurt from how fiddly it was, but it looks great. Can't post real photo because potato phone.

bump

White people logic amuses me. "He cannot be promoted to ozeki after next basho because he does not meet the criteria for such a promotion, but also because he's not Japanese and you know how racist Japanese people be." I see them make these sort of predictions all the time. It's the most clear cut case of confirmation bias I have ever seen in any area of life, but there is no self-awareness of this among western sumo fans.

>>239585
Retards on reddit, youtube sumo comments, and anywhere that isn't here, are obsessed with muh racism. And really anything at all they find uncomfortable with sumo and want to change.
When mongs with an attitude act like faggots and get the slightest slap on the wrist it's the Sumo Association being racist against all Mongolians. Or like how they had enough of Hakuho when he let his giant baby retard run the place. Yet they have let mongs dominate for 20+ years, chill Mongolians like Tamawashi are still there without any issues, Hosh got a generous promotion, Terunofuji runs his stable now, etc.

And no, Redditor-kun, Aonishiki not getting to jump immediately to sekiwake/ozeki is not racism. If anything they have been very lenient and nice to his compatriot Shishi, which some youtube commentators seem to have dropped and forgotten after having claimed he's ozeki material (lmao), when an actually good Ukrainian showed up.

Japs should be more racist tbdesu.

>>239591
>Shishi
is he likely to get demoted?

>Muh racism
More like
>Muh tradition, Muh respect for veterans, etc.
If the JSA was all that racist they could of easily demoted Takayasu (who is a hafu). If Aonishki doesn't get promoted, it's going to be because they want him to be older and have more experience.

>Shishi
Poor guy. Too injured for Maegashira, but too successful to stay in Juryo for long. He hasn't been the same after they told him to stop doing his claw thing.

>>239597

>Retards on reddit, youtube sumo comments, and anywhere that isn't here, are obsessed with muh racism. And really anything at all they find uncomfortable with sumo and want to change.
Sumoforum is not like this at all, it has to be said. Those guys are all too hardcore fans to allow any amount of non-autistic analysis to pass muster.

>>239592
Coinflip IMO. There's a case for both him staying and him dropping and the banzuke committee are as unpredictable as they've ever been right now.

>>239651
oh, thought that by being half decent on the second half of the last tournament, he had done enough to not be dropped

>>239644
>getting placed under Terunofuji
that was about the message, to tell him that they can do whatever they want with him, including being under the supervision of someone younger than you, a bitch boy that barely managed to beat you a few times in the ring, a fellow country man that is more respected than you and it's higher in the sumo hierarchy than you. Hakuho by that point was reduced to basically nothing and there was no better way to demonstrate it by being under Terunofuji's custody.

when is hakuho's new international sumo organization gonna have its 1st event?

>>239658
Or it was one elder who was demoted for misconduct being placed under a higher-ranking elder, which is normal.
