Theres already a thread that hasn't reached post/image limit

>>239860
Thread splitters are perma-retards. Nothing can be done.

>>239860
We're gonna stay in this vicious cycle of people creating new threads just for it to sit there for a whole month. Just let it die so we can fix this mess.

>>239861
It's that one retard doing le epic trole'ing by making Dan OP threads when people are tired of it. Tamawashi's selfie absolutely deserves to be an OP pic.

>>239873
Why is Midorifuji like that

>>239874
It's genetic, there's nothing he can do to be any taller so please don't hold it against him.

>>239874
Pretty normal for jungyo, the dudes get bored.

Is he horny?

>>239878
That's K*senosato's stupid little warmup dance.

>>239878
>>239880
Who knows how many variations kise has taught him at this point.

>>239882
Yeah, sure, when Kisenosato does it he's "warming up", but when I do it I'm "not allowed within 100 meters of the school".

do NOT cross the red barrier

>>239883
Hand placement matters

>>239871
Aonishiki is featured prominently in the OP pic of this thread

>>239888
The fact that Dan is featured more prominently and more frequently in Japanese media stories about sumo than either of the yokozunæ or the basho winner is proof that Dan is the MC of sumo. He should be featured prominently in the OP pic of this or any other thread about sumo, leaving him out would be a cardinal mistake.

so are we just gonna have 2 active threads up all the time? we could've just used the other one, shit is embarrassing.

>>239892
i think its probably a complicated joke of some sort by one of the dan posters, this thread is supposed to be the non-dan thread while the other established thread was supposed to be ignored by the anti-dans for being a dan thread, but this thread has an image featuring dan slightly more prominently than in the original dan thread so that mean anti-dans are retarded or something.
expect more new 'non-dan' threads featuring images of dan in the future.

>>239901
>where's waldo, but with aonishiki

>>239901
The level of Dan in the OP is more than offset by how fucking based the picture is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZESKLuJxWyI&ab_channel=Full15Sumo

Relive it.

>>239920
ol' fishlips doesn't have any following among western viewers so i doubt if anyone wants to relive it

>>239871
No, it's the opposite.

>>239901
No, retard. It's the idiot who can't handle a joke OP image who demands that a different thread be made. As if anyone looks at the OP more than once anyway.
Thread splitters are fucking cancer.

Just nuke the whole board from /sumo/ and start over because some retards get triggered and assblasted from some fucking wrestler

HAHAHA am I pro-Dan or anti-Dan? You’ll never figure it out, but I’ll tell you anyway:
I’m both! I’ll post anti-Dan posts and reply to myself with pro-Dan rejoinders just to make it seem like an otherwise chill thread is full of conflict.

Why am I doing this? I tried to be a nice guy and I didn’t get sex from my oneitis.

I'm just curious is anyone that posts in the sumo threads not fat?

>>239937
I think I'm very close to Shishi's skinnyfat body type, but 0% muscle.

>>239937
We have a lot of skinny manlets as well.
I'm 5'7 and never been over 160 lbs in my life.

>>239901
This thread is supposedly "special prize edition" but its really a pic of Dan, the other thread is titled "Ajigawa senshuraku celebration edition" but it is also just a pic of Dan.
There is clearly a theme and it is obviously samefag who posted both of the threads

tl;dr this is a Dan thread and so is the other one

>>239940
5'7"/160 is fat

>>239937
My BMI is 26.9 but I lift and know that I drink too much beer. If I stopped drinking I'd shed a ton of water weight quickly and go back to a non-overweight BMI within 2-3 weeks.

>>239948
>If I stopped drinking I'd shed a ton of water weight quickly and go back to a non-overweight BMI within 2-3 weeks.
>IT WAS REAL IN MY MIND!!!
nice self-flattering imagination you've got there. "sure I'm massively overweight, but I'm not really fat. I'm a physically fit person who just happens to be carrying 40 lbs of excess body fat around".
the twisted retardation of lardass logic never ceases to amaze me. its about 99% certain that you only like sumo because its one of the few places where you can see lardasses who aren't total failures at life, so you can project on the wrestlers and act like you're not really a fatass loser.
have you seen the fans who actually attend? how many of them are obese like you are?

>>239951
Eating 1g of carbohydrate causes your body to retain around 5ml of water for the better part of a week in order to process it. Alcohol is a carbohydrate. I've literally done this before, anon.

>>239952
>Alcohol is a carbohydrate
no it isn't, it doesn't digest to carbohydrates either.

>>239952
You're right in every respect but one, which is that you're replying to bait. The fact alone that he called you massively overweight when your BMI just barely tips into the overweight region should have clued you in.

>>239937
He's 100% among us.

>>239948
>I'm not fat
>I'm a fat drunk

>>239937
I’m 183cm tall and 68kg is the most I’ve ever weighed. Marathon running skeleton, here.

are you a girl

>>239961
I think women sumo fans actually outnumber men.

>>239937
I weigh like 122lbs/55kg, but I am pretty small otherwise.

Do you guys live in or near London hahaha I just have a friend asking hahaha

Just for fun, an uncle/nephew comparison between their only common opponent (that I could find) Tochinoshin.

>>239992
Thanks for the webms anon, even comparing approaches year to year for each wrestler is interesting.

>is anyone that posts in the sumo threads not fat?
I'm not fat, don't eat garbage, and I actually exercise for anywhere from 60 to 90 mins a day. I do love booze, though, and have to watch my intake or it does start to pile up on the waist.

Say hello to this year's high school Yokozuna, Kazuki Sawada. He and the other top 4 finishers are eligible for tsukedashi at Sandanme.

>>240034

That's honestly much cooler than a trophy.

over a month until the next basho...im not gonna make it bros...

>>240037
eh, compared to other sports, sumo feeds the craving regularly without half a year off-season.
as an angel fan I have to wait 5 months, once the last pitch is thrown, before they disappoint me again.

I don't want to go back to work. I'm so fucking depressed. Thanks for reading my blog

Dan really proved himself last basho. Can’t wait to see him in sanyaku in September. I think he will end up beating both yokos and getting the yusho. Dan isn’t the type of wrestler to make the same mistakes over and over again.

kusano is so big

Asakoryu's leg to torso ratio disgusts me

>>240268
Absolute unit

>>240278
It makes his head look unusually large. He has oompa-loompa proportions.

>>240277
Not really, his height is nothing special and his last weigh-in was 151kg. That's below average if anything, so I don't know why people act like Kusano wins through being huge as if he was Onosato.

>>240267
Heyaslop would be a lot more watchable if they just constantly played pranks and fucked with each-other like this. Add some more bikes too, while you're at it, for extra kino.

>>240445
There's a non-zero chance that Mr Tatsunami actually sympathises with him. Maybe once Hakkaku fucks off the new Chairman will make an exception for Yarden. Though Tatsunami already has a foreigner so he'd probably have to go to a different stable at least.

>>240391
>and is serious.
This makes it funny to watch him cook. He's supremely confident and serious when he seasons a small amount of chicken with a huge pile of very salty chicken stock powderfor the sekitorishuu's karaage. I wonder if they just ignore it or if being obese just makes you insensitive to salt.

>>240458
>WHERE'S THE FUCKING MONEY TOBI

>>240436
>Hoshoryu goes 1-4 with 2 (two) kinboshi during first five days in basho
not possible, the matchups would never be set up to have him give away less than 3 if he went 1-4 over the first 5 days at y1w

Reminder that Onosato has literally never and cannot now ever move down the banzuke. The only person who can make him move "down" is Hoshoryu by getting more wins than him and sliding him over to Y1w.

>>240451
>Tatsunami already has a foreigner
Sorry i'm a newfag but are the heyas limited to one foreigner?

>>240463
Yes.

>>240463
Yes, one gaijin per beya. They say it's so that beyas can't become ghettos for foreigners, and in fairness less than half of beyas have a gaijin so it's not like anyone's being kept out of joining due to lack of slots. Fun fact, Kataonami-beya has two gaijin, Tamawashi and Tamashoho, due to Tamashoho's stable closing down and they're brothers in law so like whatever. The beya has literally 4 rikishi at it anyway. Tamawashi routinely takes on the two low rank jobbers at the same time in practice bouts because he's a literal sumoGOD and his dick is humongous.

>>240465
>They say it's so that beyas can't become ghettos for foreigners
This is a legitimate point, because the first foreigner ban (though it was unofficial at the time) was because Oshima stable recruited six Mongolians at the same time. If those six were recruited by separate stables instead then there wouldn't have been a problem.

Slightly related question.
Are rikishis advert to more modern muscle training techniques because of the traditions and stuff?
I wonder what would happen if they trained like western strongmens or powerlifters.

>>240491
They do incorporate weight training, the problem is sumo as a whole can't afford modern equipment and trainers. They probably could if they were able to combine funding within ichimon, but resources are spread to thin among heya. So instead of having proper trainers, they just buy whatever cheap weights they can find and self-train with YouTube videos, then wonder why they keep getting injured with shitty form.
The advantage to traditional techniques is they're developed to be relatively low impact, which means much less risk of injuring yourself while training. Getting injured for two months wouldn't be that bad in any other sport, but in sumo it means 0-0-15 for a tournament which sends them plummeting down the banzuke. Missing half a year (three basho) is enough for anyone lower than ozeki to lose their salary completely.

>>240492
>sumo as a whole can't afford modern equipment and trainers
This had better be a fucking joke. All you need is a single half rack, and you don't need (((trainers))) at all. Just google correct form and go do it.

>>240479
This. We should invite our fellow sumoforum bros to improve the quality of these threads. PPH is going to skyrocket!

>>240493
That's exactly what they're doing and they're getting injured from it, because guess what looking up YouTube videos and fitness blogs instead of having a proper trainer isn't enough when you're an actual professional athlete instead of an amateur hobbyist.

>>240495
>That's exactly what they're doing and they're getting injured from it
I've seen their form and it fucking sucks.

>>240496
Yes, because emulating what you see on the Internet isn't the same as having someone there in person to teach you properly.

>>240497
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

This you?

>Noooo I can't do anything unless a qualified expert has trained me to do it >:(((

>>240498
There's a difference between doing something and doing something the right way. When it comes to weight training, proper form reduces the chance of injury. But what ends up happening is these guys think they have proper form simply because they're still gaining muscle, without realizing that they actually have shitty form and it's increasing their chance of injury. That's what a trainer is for.

>>240499
You think beyas can't afford to have a (((qualified expert))) visit them a few times a week for a few hours?

>>240500
The larger ones, maybe, but they're more likely to have the sekitori fund their own training methods. The smaller ones, no chance.

>>240501
Keeping your back straight while you deadlift is fucking free lmao dude get a grip.

>>240502
Like I said, it's different for full-time professional athletes compared to amateur hobbyists like yourself. That's assuming you have actually lifted ever, of course.

>>240502
NTA but do they even do deadlifts? I'm pretty sure the fitness game in japan is pretty dire.
Also from the little calisthenics i've did i've seen lots of people who can't even do push ups right, so some people do need help.

>>240503
Good form is free, you don't need a coach. Most rikishi are just low IQ fatsos in daycare who don't want to get a real job.

>>240504
If they can't even do pushups right then there's actually zero help for them. It's like trying to teach an African to build a road.
>It's all so tiresome

>>240502
>>240505
Prove your own back is straight when you lift without an outside observer.

>>240506
What do you think an outside observer would say if you back wasn't straight?

>>240507
Doesn't matter, I'm telling you to prove it without them.

>>240508
Your question is ridiculous. Anyone with half a brain can simply feel when their form is correct.

>>240509
Thanks for making me laugh by proving you either don't lift or have shittier form than the average rikishi. Enjoy your severe chronic injuries by the time you turn 40.

>>240510
What you're doing is giving me a chance to let you move the goalposts. Even if I did post a video of me lifting you'd immediately tell me why the video doesn't matter.

>You aren't lifting enough weight
>Your back isn't ACTUALLY straight

>>240509
You're objectively wrong because of how the human spine works. It's designed to be flexible. Having a perfectly straight back through repeated lifts is going to feel stiff and unnatural, especially for beginners who aren't used to it. It's because modern weight training is itself unnatural when our bodies evolved for stuff like carrying a large dead animal back home instead of squatting 50 times with that animal on our shoulders every day for 50 years. That's why trainers exist, to get beginners used to proper form so they don't develop bad habits that don't feel wrong in the short term but will lead to increased injury in the long term. And that's why rikishi form is crap, because they're all self-trained beginners who develop bad habits because their form doesn't feel wrong in the short term.

>>240512
These (((trainers))) you admire are teenagers who've taken a 30 minute class.

>>240513
Nice projection but no, even sumo stables could afford someone like that.

>>240434
>sumosisters
KYS already, faggot.

>>240505
>If they can't even do pushups right

Sumo is a lot more hands off than most other sports when it comes to training. There's a much greater emphasis on self discipline and motivation, and the rikishi that excel are usually the ones that take it upon themselves to supplement their traditional daily training sessions. You can see exactly how lazy they are with form, as even when they do their traditional training, a lot of them have shitty form exactly because they don't give a fuck, and it's up to them to do it right, not the oyakata.

>>240479
There is not much to talk about this time, the guys are on tour, there is no hype surrounding the 2 yokozunas anymore, they've been outed as jobbers so we are back to mistery rikishi yushos again. Nobody has said a word about our newest champion either so you just know there is no faith on him. It's over.

>>240484
Weird how posts making fun of that sandanme ape losing makes you so angry.

>>240524
Actually that one dude that posts everytime Ikazuchido loses makes me laugh. That anon is more dedicated than anyone else in these threads and is at least discussing the result of a sumo match.
He isn't the pol brained fucks who use these threads to slap fight about nationalities.

>>240489
he's just practicing to create the next generation of rikishi

>>240431
It doesn’t seem like he’s in trouble but there is continued rumblings about him abusing his juniors by making them drink through the asshole. Total lack of hinkaku.

>>240531
He said less than three.

>>240460
>>240531
>>240535
point is, it is possible for a Komosubi match up during the first 5 days, if we have two Komosubi then there is a chance for a 1-4 score with only two kinboshi.

>>240536
Won't we have 3 Kommusubi? Takayasu, Abi and Aonishki?

>>240537
Abi's more likely to be M1e. Even from M2w, 9-6 normally isn't enough if there are already two obvious komusubi.

>>240537
wouldn't make a difference, watch the spiffy video about torikumi creation if you want to understand how matchups are decided.

>>240519
>a lot of them have shitty form exactly because they don't give a fuck
This is the fundamental issue and why there isn't really a point getting a proper coach in.

>>240544
>isn't really a point getting a proper coach in.

A lot of beya do have proper trainers that work with the boys, just not during normal traditional morning practice. Most of the weight lifting and supervised training is done during the second training sessions in the afternoon/evening time.

The success or failure of a rikishi is dependent solely upon the rikishi in sumo. Oyakata act as a guide and show them the path they are supposed to follow, but it's up to them to take that path. If they want to do the bare minimum and suck, then that's on them, and that includes cheating on everything from form in training, to eating, to doing more than just the bare minimum.

>>240551
This

>>240551
>A lot of beya do have proper trainers that work with the boys
But that contradicts earlier comments about how beyas don't have trainers leading to fatsos lifting with poor form.

>>240563
>But that contradicts earlier comments about how beyas don't have trainers

There's a lot of beya, and the more successful ones do, indeed, hire trainers to assist their rikishi.

Terutsuyoshi has been arrested for forging official documents, in the second such case this year. Could this be the tip of the iceberg? Are there secret Mongolians with fake Japanese birth certificates lurking on the banzuke?

>>240607
most of the mongolians who join at the jr high or high school levels do so with fake birth certificates that understate their real age by two or three years, gives them an insurmountable advantage over the jap kids

>>240621

Cool 7 month old video of Teru putting Kusano through hell. The difference in power is ridiculous. Teru is just walking forwards.

Tom planning to kyujo for September so he can farm M17s, score double digits and pick up another sansho in November. He will be an M1 for Aki so he might push through day 3 or 4 at Aki in order to pick up the easy Kinboshirinos before kyujo, but those are rewards that pay off better if you're not near retirement when you get them so it might not even be worth his while.

>>240701
I'm ready for Tamawashi and Takayasu to go old man Ozeki mode. Tamawashi's 11-4 from M4 is TECHNICALLY just as much of a start to an Ozeki run as what Aonishiki did.

Can someone explain to me why Oho can be having the worst basho imaginable but will then beat the guy at the top of the leaderboard and basically ruin everything? Thanks.

>>240710
Taiho's spirit lives on when he faces formidable foes.

>>240691
all according to the plan, only a fool would waste precious vital energy at 40 doing some shitty and irrelevant tour during the summer heat. My man must take care of himself because at his age a bad injury and it's over.

>>240708
has there ever been an MX>M1>S ozeki run?

>>240724
Not since the concept of "ozeki run" was a thing.

>>240724
>>240725
sumodb finally loaded.
Even extending it to MX->MX->S nobody's done it since 1940 when they only had two basho per year. Starting an ozeki run at maegashira should be considered an exception to the sanyaku rule that only applies to joi-maegashira. In other words, it should be thought of as "prove that maegashira rank was high enough that they faced all the strongest competition" instead of it being an assumed given that sanyaku have.

>>240726
looks like even M->K/S->S promotion runs are pretty rare
and all since 1950 included at least a JY at some point

Do you respect a maegashira with a makuuchi yuusho more or less than a sanyaku without one? Which do you think is the higher achievement?

>>240733
A yusho is a yusho (unless it's a zensho), but if you have to judge then it'd be by quality of competition. Sanyaku always fight the highest guys on the banzuke, so a non-joi maegashira yusho is typically weaker by default.

The average rank of Kotoshoho's Maegashira opponents was M12.4, just saying.

>>240739
He was lower ranked, so we expected less of him than a Yokozuna.

Hoshoryu graces us sloppa plebians with his presence

>>240692
i miss the teru days. real 'zuna power, exhibited between one and two times per year. the good old days....

>>240741
And yet he wins the same prizes a Yokozuna would win. Curious!

>>240743
>One Big Slurp!
Literally me consuming beyaslop.

>>240743
This is really bad sloppa. There's almost zero training in it, all we see is a single Yarden match while staring at Hoshoryu's back, then it cuts to the cooking. And then in the eating there's no Yarden or Hoshoryu, it's just the usual goobers.

>>240743
Genuinely never seen anyone fit their clothes as poorly as Tatsunami.

>>240750
looks like a very shitty suit honestly.

>>240739
He beat all the sanyaku he faced. His only two losses were to an M14 and an M16, both lower than your average rank.

>>240753
His only impressive wins were Onosato and Aonishiki. Kirishima was running a high fever when they fought.

>>240744
I don't.

>>240757
>Dan, a guy in his 3rd pro basho, is now considered one of the most impressive competitors in the sport to take a pelt from
Is Dan incredibly awesome to have achieved that status so quickly or is the field just laughably weak right now?

>>240777
yes

>>240773
go to bed tobi

>>240777
It's a bit of both. If Daieisho hadn't been injured half the guys in the OP pic wouldn't be stood there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UbptArdX5g&ab_channel=Full15Sumo

I miss him...

CHANGE YOUR SHIKONA BACK TO KOTONOWAKA YOU PUSSY

>>240811
Daieisho will probably land around M8-M12 so he might fight Dan during final days of the Basho if he does well.
>>240826
Zak yusho in september. He will roll over horse again.

>>240819
>double crippled man with diabetus still more powerful than [current banzuke]
it was embarrassing to be sincere with you

>>240819
>Onosato wins with a pull
Is he getting worse?

>>240829
>14 wins in May
>11 wins in July
At this rate he'll get his first makekoshi in November.

>>240831
he wins every other 'sho, so aki is pretty much in the bag for him

>>240833
I heard that around 40% of all the bets on July were on Onosato, so September will probably be higher.

>>240831
whether it's because of the heat and humidity or Nagoya itself my theory is that Onosato just sucks in July

>>240831
How many wrestlers out there never got a makekoshi until they made 'zuna?

>>240838
1.

>>240838
The only two that can be verified are Tochigiyama in 1918, and Musashiyama in 1935. Onishiki in 1917 is a possibility but there are multiple records missing from his lower division basho, although we do know he went from jonidan to juryo in 5 basho so it's likely. But it hasn't happened since 1935, until Onosato. Some have come close, like for example Musashimaru only had one makekoshi in the lower divisions with none in sekitori.

>>240834
You keep saying that without providing any evidence. What bets? Where? The fuck are you on about?

I really wanna see Ura, Midori, and Fujino all fight eachother next basho for manlet supremacy.

>>240842
it was in previous threads noob

>>240861
>The least zesty rikishi

>>240869
Yeah, I asked in the previous thread. No one answered.

>>240884
Good news! This is a dead board and you can look at the past 6 generals, not counting the Aonishki dickrider thread.

>>240891
>I don't need to cite my sources, just look yourself!
God you're fucking retarded. This is the only reference in any of those threads, and look at that, that's me right below it.

>>240892
probably someone misinterpreting 5/2 odds (implied 28.6% chance) as meaning 2/5 of the bets, instead of being a combination of odds setters starting price, stakes and overround

that said, I did see him close from 7/2 to 5/2 in the last week or so before the basho, so there would've still been a decent bit of money on him

>>240892
>you have to be my personal search engine and internet data assistant or something
>p.s. you have to do it for free, I won't do anything in return or ever even post any good content myself at all ever.
how's about this. ill post what u want, but first you have to post a timestamped topless selfie

>>240893
WHERE?
>>240894
Kill yourself.

>>240895
>t. butthurt faggot

>>240895
just the betting sites I use since I'm a gamblingfag
I didn't screencap it or anything though, so I guess that might as well be source: my ass

It's like pulling fucking teeth.

>>240897
What sites have you seen sumo betting on?

>>240898
dunno if it's available wherever you are bet365 is the one I use since they had a p decent signup offer
there's nothing on it atm but pre-tournament yusho betting starts at some point after the banzuke goes up
and during the basho they offer odds on joi-sanyaku level bouts

starting to lose count of the number of times nephew has cost me a parlay by dropping a dud

>>240899
Thank you for not being a shit-posting faggot. Please enjoy this image of some rikishi with a bicycle.

>Koga's first 4 win streak
Its happening

Koga v Yarden, place your bets.

>>240947
Koga wins, by virtue of being a real professional rikishi.

やるでん (犯流伝 (Yaruden (legendary rapist))) is a fine shikona for Yarden.

What was the name of that Youtube channel that uploaded sumo footage where every thumbnail and title being about some cat? That was hilarious.

>>240965
could've been kintamayama, since his workaround for nhk copyright strikes is fake titles and pulling the vid after a few days
eg one basho was pretending to be about best onsen resorts in japan, another was about rollercoasters of the world

Someone posted power chart to sumo forum. Its over for us

>>240977
which one?

>Hoshoryu injured again
Its over

>Wakataka twisted his ankle
Yeah, good thing I didn't get my hopes up. I'm ready for the 6-9.

Hosh's body is falling apart before the banzuke comes out. At what score will he pull out this time?

>>240987
0-0-15

>Hoshoryu injured
>WTK injured
>Kirishima injured
>Daieisho returning from injury
>Zak still a piece of shit

Can we PLEASE have a fucking Sanyaku for once???

>>240995
>Do nothing
>Win

Onosato's average wins per basho in Makuuchi prior to Ozeki promotion was 11.2. He was on an Ozeki run the whole time. Hell his worst wins per three basho has been 31. The last 3 he has 37 wins lmaooooo imagine being Kotozakura. He's literally the Vegeta of Ozumo, the Prince of Ozumo forced to bear witness to this fucking rando outstripping him.

>>240995
Having two outstanding beasts like Dan & Onosato in sanyaku is enough to compensate for the rest being fragile sissies

>>240997
Onosato was never a rando, before he was pro he was the all time greatest student wrestler. He is pretty much Wajima reincarnated with a more imposing physique

>>240999
In terms of heritage Onosato is a rando. Some bitch just shat out a fat kid and was like "fuck it make him a sumo wrestler". 100kg at 10 years old are you fucking kidding me? I remember at primary school around that age we were doing averages in maths. We weighed everyone then worked out the class's average. There was a humongous fatso in my class, like the kid was MORBIDLY obese looking for his age, and he was 90kg. It blows my mind that Onosato was notably bigger than that.

>>241000
They should have had him join ozumo younger. I'm sure a 10 year old Onosato could make it to san'yaku.

>>241001
Probably would've mogged Midorifuji at 12 years old so fuck it, here's your mawashi, kid.

>>241000
he probably didnt look that fat since he was tall. im a little taller than him and i was almost 1.7m at 10 years old

>>241003
Freak

>>240436
>Hoshoryu 9-0 in training
>Hoshoryu suffers minor injury while training
you are now here!

>>241013
>Heh, 15 basho from Makuuchi to Yokozuna, no one will ever beat thaAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE

>>240287
He's strong.

> Do sumo wrestlers even lift weigh-ACK
All natty btw unlike the roided out freaks that Americans worship.

Abi's the fuckin' best.

Day 1 scans, right?

>>241033
they're being very generous with the ugly fat old stablemaster

>>241033
Wheres Koga?

>>241037
In the kitchen, thinking up new ways to cut meat.

>>240987
1-3

>>241033
Nabatame is still the main character. He will steamroll through makushita in January.

>>241040
Okaryu really has a model-like face. Especially the cheekbones and eyebrows.

>>241040
Uhhh is it legal to announce this?

>>241054
>Due to Japanese gambling regulations, we cannot pay out directly. Therefore, we operate a shop right next door that will exchange your legally worthless tokens!

>>241054
>>241055
>Due to Japanese prostitution regulations, our whores cannot accept money directly. Therefore, we operate a cafe where you pay for food and there are whores who will suck you off for free!

>>241056
Imagine opening up a cafe on the other side with extortionately priced food except you aren't connected to the whores at all.

>>241043
Nabatame is coal

>>241043
Guaranteed 2-5.

I'm going to slam dunk Wakatakakage in my fantasy sumo this time round. When's the last time we had a new Ozeki? It wasn't September, because that was just Onosato passing through on his way to Yokozuna. Was it really Kotoz*kura at the start of last year? Fuck that weak shit, we need new blood.

Look at this garbage from the basho Asashoryu roped.

>One zuna out
>Another zuna intai
>Two ozeki out
>Another ozeki intai

Did this basho even have any fucking Sanyaku?

>>241107
wtf.... he was a fraud all along.....

>>241110
You think the nephew of a fraud would be a great Yokozuna? Heh...

>>241107
there still were 6 active sanyaku which is more than what we had in july. the absolute state of sanyaku in 2025

>>241119
sorry there were 6 in nagoya too but fraudshoma shouldnt be counted

Got curious and compared each YDC yokozuna's promotion run by quality of the guys they beat. No points given for loses or fusen wins, so a high score means they had to fight and beat the highest ranking guys. Obviously Akebono suffers because no yokozuna were on the banzuke, but he also only fought another ozeki once in the two basho because he was the only healthy ozeki in the first one.

>>241131
Harumafuji's promotion really was something else.

Today I saw a woman in my store that looked just like Konishiki from the face

Hakuho promoting women's sumo is utterly revolting, is he going to open a geisha house staffed with men next?
Confusion of da highest orda

>split thread
>drive off half your posters
>threads are now 1.5 people mindlessly posting nothing

/sumo/ isn't doing too hot these days huh

>>241194
>Posting in the thread that is past it's bump limit.

>>241197
>76

>>241194
It's not the thread split. It's because the British posters (forever the backbone of /sumo/) are posting much less, or not at all, due to the additional hoops to jump through in order to use 4chan. You can see a definite decline in /sumo/ activity when the UK Online Safety Act came into force.

>>241198
>327

>>241199
>forever the backbone of /sumo/
Slow threads are much comfier.

>>241191
Sumo sisters….could it be that Hakkaku was right all along????

>>241194
the danspammer started a new stealth dan thread after the 'sho (this thread) ev&oe the preexisting active thread was already a stealth dan thread. next thread will probably be a wheres waldo but with dan instead of waldo
