>>142869019Your squandering of dubs is an ill omen for Terunofuji...
He can't recover
>>142869115week 2 when matchups by record start is when nabatame will finally get to face off against others as weak as he is, he might rack up a few wins there, maybe even enough to not fall so far down the makushita rankings that a return in one basho is impossible for him.
Onosato Yokozuna in 2 years, boys.Trust the plan.
keishobros...
>>142869316He’s only 27 he can take a year off and come back let’s be real juryo and below is full of permadhitters or young talent. I doubt anyone below Juryo could handle keisho’s power.
>>142869316intai and vertical rope incoming, in that order.
ugh I have to watch highlights from Day 2 to Day Day 6 if I wanna watch it live tonight ugh
bursted out laughing watching keisho being thrown like that
>>142870279fly monkey... i mean hamster, fly
>Balenciaga in the crowdsAnyway, when is the sole yokozuna going to stop fighting maegashitters FFS and gets some real challeng->current state of top rankersZensho yusho, innit.
just noticed his kensho today
>>142869466>He’s only 27His heart is 57.
>>142870533>zenshoI don't think Teru can keep this up. He's going to fuck up sooner or later. He'll win the yuushou, but it'll be 13-2 or 14-1.
>>142869316hard to believe we went from having four ozeki in May to potentially only two in September
>>142869034yeah, he is going to get plastered in week 2. probably end up 11-4 JY
>>142869466worst case scenario: he retires, opens his own stable and starts losing weight while working his way up the in JSA and eventually we end up with a 5'7" 150lbs sissy manlet as the boss of sumo
>>142869208kek I love their little rivalry. Hope monkey boy can get a win on him though.
>>142865219Remember that mitakeumi abused the covid protocols to get another basho at ozek>>142870798>keep uphes looking strong. tobizaru not giving him any issues today shows that hes in as good of shape as he has been at yokozuna.
>>142871182You mean best
>>142870533second week is when he finishes off his carousel of the higher rankers
>>142871482He changed his tactics to a more forward moving attack. In January and since he had been just standing up at the tachiai and trying to use his overall size and strength advantage to stop his opponents and then throw them or force them out, but in March and May he figured out that it requires knees to do that, so now his tachiai includes more forward movement and he has been using that momentum to carry his opponents out in a lot of his matches so far. Doing that prevents the possibility of someone like Onosato forcing him back and shoving him out, but it leaves him open to henkas and other sidestep maneuvers, someone is going to catch on that eventually, Hoshitryu will for sure, Abi might too.
>>142870533If Ura can't beat him tomorrow, who can?
>>142869208He's plenty fearsome when he can rest for 6 months before every basho...
>>142870592Pretty cool...
>>142870533There are no easy fights in the very top of this division smaller rikishi give teru problems when teru is feeling it. Teru is on so Ura getting armlocked and set out.
>>142872480delet this
>>142872480Pure kino, should have been a woodblock print.
>>142872480I am just now noticing the ninja in the background
HOKU
>>142871347>mitakeumi abused the covid protocolsHe wasn't given a choice. They told him he had to leave and that he would have another chance.
>>142873780>just happened to find a guy with covid in his stable when 2-5should have been tossed down the ranks
>>142873285everyone in the background is a ninja, theres just one guy who is bad at hiding it.
Speak to me my special hands
Kikuchi lost to a 50 year old
>>142874474>I'm so fucked up.
>>142874570Does this mean theres still time for me to go to japan and become a rikishi?
Keiga already KK
>>142872480>>142873201
>>142874889When I was in Japan I bought a little handcarved sumo figure and the guy making them told me in broken English that he thought I was going to win the basho.
>>142874889I'm pretty sure there's an age limit to joining sumo, like 30 or something.
>>142875220its early 20s iirc. 24 is what sounds right. sure its easy enough to look up
>>142875318>>142875220Then explain this old man in jonokuchi
>>142875330There's an age limit to JOIN sumo, not to be IN sumo.
>>142875145>>142875330i didn't know we had a poster who is an aoiyama doublepost tits
>>142875349I'm not even THAT fat and I'm not really that tall either. Maybe I just misunderstood him, when he said it we all just kind of awkwardly laughed and I left.
>>142873875>just happened to find a guy
Soma KK! Wasn't sure if that was going be a mono-ii, but he completely overpowered the dude.
>>142875519Soma has been brilliant this 'sho. Hopefully boss Futagoyama rewards Soma appropriately.
This dude has been putting together daily Futagoyama bout compilations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp-zvql0dEM
so today denuma heemed someone back
>>142875945Was that from head to jaw?
>>142873767Most kino rikishi by a large margin
>>142876078they did butt heads at the very end but watching the replay i think it was from the left hook
>>142876080>>142873767Yea, I love him too.Also he reminds of the style of the Rikshi of the 90s somehow.
>>142876080He is too forthright, he has to throw in the occasional henka in order to keep his opponents guessing. Thats why he plays second banana to Abi
>>142876495abby has no fucking HEART
sumo foods bros
nabatame got one, good looking win, he only needs to win six of his last 8 to avoid demotion.
sumo-food-bros, I have hope!
tomorrows makuuchi matchups are out, teru is finally going to be pitted against someone big enough to actually test his power. shonannoumi will give teru his first loss
Hidenoumi will win this
Shishi just grabbed sole possession of the lead in juryo, all because polar bear was dumb enough to get lured into Dan's inevitable pull and slapdown
Shishi in the driver's seat
I missed everything up until today, what do I need to know before watching todays top division?
>>142876988Teru has re-assumed control and Onosato is sputtering, Kirishima is a 50/50 for making it back to ozeki and Takakeisho is circling the drain
Has the Monkey Man fought tonight?
>>142877004Thank you it sounds like we're going places.
>>142877004>Kirishima is a 50/50 for making it back to ozeki he is much, much longer odds than that, probably closer to 1 in 50
OK, now Shishi is only tied for the lead. Ishizaki Sr couldn't put Shishi on top alone.
>Looks like at least one of LeoDickinson's Jewt00be channels is going to be permabanned cause Jewt00b
>>142877066Is it still some random person going around spam reporting sumo channels?
>>142877089I report every one I see
>>142877107BASED
>>142877089>Is it still some random person going around spam reporting sumo channels?Could very well be imo. But the strikes / shutdowns tonight have what looks like the Sumo Association's kanji as the ones who pulled them.
>>142877029After HoSHITryu beats him tonight, kiriSHITma will be in the position of needing to win 7 of his last 8 bouts and those bouts will include all his most difficult opponents. If he was 5-1 or 6-0 going into tonight then he'd be something like a 50-50 shot. As it currently stands its pretty much over for him, his best possible result is probably making it to KK and holding on to his current sekiwake rank then working out like a demon for the next 8 weeks and hoping to start a new ozeki promotion campaign. he doesn't seem like he has much injuries bothering him anymore, be he needs to add about 20kg of muscle to himself if he wants to be ozeki material.
LeoDickinsteinberg is adding his own English commentary to the Abema coverage and trying to compete with NHK for English speaking viewers and advertising revenue. So its not hard to guess who is trying to get him removed.
>>142877230the untranslated abema streams with no english commentary are all untouched.
Day 7: Hiro
Leo is a fucking faggot for presuming that his own commentary could possibly be better than Wakanohana's. I hope youtube mods rape Leo until his anus bleeds.
What happened with Sumō Princess?
>>142877200>If he was 5-1 or 6-0 going into tonight then he'd be something like a 50-50 shotIf he were 5-1 or 6-0 I wouldn't consider it even a chance, I would say he had guaranteed he is in 10 win form. In what world does Kirishima start 5-1 in this basho and put up less than 10 wins? The one example of him starting 5-1 or better and getting less than 10 wins in a basho in his career was September 2021.
Chiyoshoma will KK
>>142877328The best theory I've heard is that she found out about her simps online and stopped getting seats right in front of the camera or stopped going early or stopped going altogether.
tfw no japanese gf
>>142877424I know that feel :(
>>142877370most of those schedules had him facing a weak schedule with 1 ozeki and 1 yokozuna, both of whom were injured and sitting out as often as not. weak competition is how he got his ozeki rank to begin with and he has been too injured to practice and work out since january. its over for for him, he will be lucky to still be in sanyaku come september
Bushozan will replace keisho don’t worry keishobros
my fujis... :(
Takerufuji is back starting tomorrow. Can he win 8 in a row and make it back to makuuchi? His first match is with Onokatsu
>>142877505Is he back to 100%? Or coming back specifically to try and get 8 despite not being fully healed?
roga really likes henkas
>henkaGo ahead and defend this, Futagoyamasisters. I double dare you.
>>142877537I defend this
>>142877424>>142877429tfw no japanese sumo gf
Shodai has been looking strong this basho.
If Takerufuji wins tomorrow then Shishi is nearly guaranteed to be taking over sole possession of the lead in Juryo
so what do knowers say about shishiis he a sanyaku material
>>142877634he hasn't been 5-2 on day 7 since march 2023
>>142877680shishi is the ukranian shodai, big body and lots of potential, but he makes a lot of weird choices and underperforms what it looks like he could do. if he would work out more and develop an upper body to match those huge legs he could overpower anyone and be as good or better than tochinoshin was
Takerufuji and Onosato as Yokozuna Hiradoumi as stalwart Ozeki
make up your mind kinbozo, first he pulls the guy back into the ring then he shoves him out
>>142877449>most of those schedules had him facing a weak schedule ... weak competition is how he got his ozeki rank to begin withBullshit. Not counting fusen, Kirishima was 14-5 against sanyaku in the 3 basho prior to promotion. That's 19 of his 43 matches in that time which were against sanyaku.Regardless, the content of the schedules has nothing to do with him being "50-50" to get 10 wins after a 5-1 start, that's ludicrous. 5-1 pace is 12.5 wins in 15 bouts and 4-2 pace is 10 wins in 15 bouts. Even if we assume he's unlikely to keep pace through later matches, that theoretical loss rate is not so extreme as to equate to automatically knocking off more than one full win.
>mongolian>henkas>failsbeautiful.
lmao, losing after henka, shameful
Shonannoumi masterpiece theater. The cowardly mongol was afraid of him.
Shonannoumi Yokozuna in 2 years trust
>>142877854kiriSHITma will not get 10 wins, anyone who think he will is a deluded coping kiriSHITma fangoy retard
>>142877920Shonannoumi has a body that is at least ozeki quality if not better. His handspeed seems like its a little bit slow, but otherwise he seems like a force to be wreckin' with
DaieishOWNED
This is cool and all but we know daieisho will choke ozeki again
this is the match of the night
Not an easy win for Onosato.
I was rooting for Atami...
power vs powerno tricky bullshit, no moves, just two guys trying to overwhelm the other with strength
>>142878024Now his sister will never go out with us
>>142878040imagine you take her out on a date to a fancy restaurant but then her brother shows up and eats everything in sight and you're left paying the bill
abizuna
>>142878040>female version of atamilol no thanks
hiradoooo
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA>drops the salt in shame
The takakeishow is over
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Keisho reminds me of Tochimaru nowadays. Grim.
>>142878146>if chiyomaru was a midget
>>142872132He's literally the first top level guy to prove that it's possible suffer a normally career ending injury; drop from the near pinnacle of the sport, to almost the very bottom, and then climb all the way back up and not only win more titles but to reach the highest rank possible. If anyone deserves the grace of a Yokozuna, it's Terunofuji. I don't think we'd be seeing guys like Ura or Wakatakakage doing what they're doing if it weren't for Teru's example of what's possible.
What the fuck was that.
>>142877930more like hoshitryu amirite
Great dishonor
Good throw for your Mongol pal, Hosh.
KIRISHITMAHOSHITRYU
This was a prime example of clown sumo if I ever saw it.
Can that kid in the crowd shut the hell up?
>>142878199>mongol>honorPick one.
KOTOZAKURA!!!!
>>142878200Mongol brotherhood is a myth.
rigged
HOLY SHIT SHUT UP
Looking forward to Teru vs Shonannoumi tomorrow.
Half of Teru's matches so far have been against midgets, gonna be nice to see what he can do when he has to run with the big dogs
Terunofuji!Terunofuji!Terunofuji!...Terunofuji!
Looking forward to Teru vs Ura right now.
grabbed
>>142878324fucking kid ruining my saturday
Well fought by Ura.Good sumo, man.
lad
nice end
Good try, Ura. Good try.
Yes, yes, straight into my loving clampsGood try, Ura
>ura grabbing and pulling teru's arms awkwardly karma, folks
very solid attempt ura
Match of the basho so far.Good sumo tonight.
Finally time for bed
Ura's got soul
Ura has very flexible shoulders
>move laterally against the guy that has no knees and can only go forward >almost winsPeople should do this more often
fuck mbovo for insta-deleting the vod and paywalling behind his fucking patreonI'm about to call up my boys in the NHK yakuza
Nice to see hoSHITryu pretty much out of yusho race this early on, even a 12-3 JY won't buy him a "yusho equivalent". Hopefully Teru is the last mongol yokozuna.
>>142878435They do that because of the NHK
>>142878435>patreonThere are sites to get around that. I don't want to say outright. Do some Googling.>insta-deleting the vodYou could try recording it if you're tech-savvy. Open up the inspect element screen on your browser (in Firefox it's F12). Go over to Network and select Media on the right. Open the stream up. The first thing you get will be the stream link (picrel). Right click and copy the link. Then open a terminal/command prompt and give the link to yt-dlp. yt-dlp will download the stream live.
>>142875945>>142876078>>142876129Looked like a headbutt to me, but hard to tell from this angle.
>>142875338I think the 65 years old age limit for oyakata technically also applies to rikishi since they are both members of the JSA
>>142878634I'd understand that but he is still reuploading it to patreon and paywalling it, he's not even being like natto and uploading it for free on a bunch of throwaway sites and posting the links in his discordHe outright states in his discord to subscribe to his $7/month patreon to get access to vods and that's a faggot move>>142878656usually those sites work by having users share their cookies with the siteowner and the siteowner uses their session ID to scrape whomever they're subscribed to, it'll only work if someone already subbed to mbovo shares itAnd yeah I do pull the vod but this time I sat down at my computer 4 minutes past the hour and the vod was already nuked
Takeru is running out of time to enter partway...
>>142879890All he needs is one win to avoid a complete demotion.
>>142878350>ura grabbing and pulling teru's arms awkwardly It's how he got his first career kinboshi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2vRFdIjpLk&t=281s
>>142878321since hokuseiho got terminated, terunofuji is basically the tallest or tied for tallest in the top division
>>142882348Shonannoumi is tallest (194), Kagayaki (193) second with Onosato (192) coming third. He is 191 cm that he shares with Kotoshoho, Oho and Kinbozan
>>142885097Wikipedia, sumo.or.jp and sumodb all show different heights.
>>142885909>sumo.or.jpThis is the only one to refer to. The other sites aren't diligent about updating heights and weights when they change.
>>142879510I don't get why anyone would pay, if I wanted to pay for sumo I'd get jme.tv.
>>142879890he is back tonight, 1st match is against juryo leader onokatsu
>>142888339>Onokatsu
>>142888339>>142888421>oo no katsu>big winI know his name has different kanji but still.
I guess it is time for Takakeisho to retire?He is not healthy enough to get back to Ozeki. His master is retiring, isn't he?
>>142888892>get back to Ozekihe hasn't even lost it yet
>>142889016few more days
>Hey, Takeru. You need like 1 easy win to save your salary. Pick any day to return.>No problem, boss!Yamato Damashii means "being retarded on purpose"
the first week has been completedit's looking like a runaway yusho for Terunofujisay something nice about your leaders and contenders
on the opposite end we have some absolute shittersgive some words of encouragement to these fucks
>>142889393Takerufuji knows its much more kino this way. Sneaking a win from some weak ass fool is dishonorable. This way we clearly see who deserves to stay in the top ranks, injured or no.
>>142889850Tobizaru should've kicked the leg to make the yusho more interesting.
>>142890235Also it makes more sense as a test of recovery. An opponent like Onokatsu is going to require Takerufujis full power, if he can't pull it out then for sure he needs more recovery time and the loss is irrelevant at that point.
>>142889850Terunofuji hasn't faced anyone tough yet, Gonoyama has been his best competition so far. Week 2 will be a disaster for Teru and he will end up with a JY, the top 3 of the contenders will all beat him, so will Onosato and maybe HoSHITryu too. His only hope is the banzuke committee allowing him to dodge all the best contenders. >>142889869Chiyoshoma hasn't lost yet, he will end up doing well enough to stay in makuuchi. Atamifuji is nearly done with the roughest part of his schedule, KK or close is where he will end up, same goes for Gonoyama. Atamifuji was 2-5 going into day 8 in May too, ended up at 7-8 and he is stronger looking now than he was then. Terunofuji is lucky they're in the same stable, Atamifuji would own Teru if they faced off in basho match.
>>142888421>oriental schnitzel
>>142890235>>142890476Takeru would be the last person on earth to care about being "kino" or proving himself in a "test." He hates sumo.
>>142891575He doesn't hate sumo, he said he doesn't have a fondness for sumo.
>>142888892>I guess it is time for Takakeisho to retire?If he drops to ozekiwake for September and then fails to get it back, I could see him retiring. He can secure a share and focus on getting healthy. He's popular enough in Japan that he should have no problem with recruiting and securing funds for stable development.
>>142891672Would he make a heya full of hambagu fed wrecking balls?
>>142889393They wouldn't schedule bouts for already absent wrestlers in advance, so it's more likely he said he was ready and the matchmaking committee made that match specifically to say fuck you.
Ura on his way to the cup
>>142877107Fag
>>142891575Nonsense. Back when he won his yusho, he went out to fight the last bout even though he was already injured because it would be more memorable for the fans. He said this himself, it was advice from the yokozuna iirc. So its exactly the kind of thing he'd do.
>>142877548That's sweet.
>>142890823>the top 3 of the contenders will all beat him, so will Onosato and maybe HoSHITryu tooHoshitryu, Kirishitma, and KotozACKura have never, ever, beaten Terunofuji. Why would they win now?
>>142895099Terunofuji has never fought Kotozakura before.
jesus are there any streamers that dont do fucking commentary? I want to listen to the sounds of the match, not some fat American running his dicksucker
>>142873285pretty shit ninja if you can see him
>>142896331NHK has seen to it that you can neither stream nor pay for the Japanese commentary. It's very important to them that the whitebacks stay far away from their sport.
>>142896482You can get the top division japanese audio on jme.
>>142896482I don't get it, you'd think a sport about really fat dudes fighting would be extremely appealing to Americans.
>>142896521Congratulations, you are the 1,000,000th person to make this joke. Please enjoy your prize.
>>142896331There was one raw Japanese streamer on jewt00b that was showing the Basho... same Abema feed as the English streamers use. Don't know where he is atm.
>>142896551
>>142896331The worst part about Twitch streamer "commentary" is that none of them know what they're talking about. For people who follow sumo as much as they do, they can't say much about the technical aspects of sumo or grappling in general.>>142895775my reaction to that information >>142896025
>>142896482NHK has been dickholes on everything... wait a couple weeks from now to see their true form. Especially with the "G" and "E" ("H") switching fuckery.
>>142896590What?
>>142896836Guess you're not a luckswing fan. Their bread-and-butter starts on August 5.
>>142896863I watch baseball, no idea what G E and H are.
>>142890971>frowning soiyjak: "Wiener Schnitzel vom Schwein"? ewww yuk that sounds like something racist nazis would eat>massively gapefaced soiyjak crying tears of joy: OMG TONKATSUand those are the same people who claim that cultural appropriation upsets them
>>142896904NHK in Japan has two feeds for their broadcast, the "G" and the "E" or "H"... you an start your show on the "E" but midway through when the plot starts to get good you get a message floating on your screen saying that NHK is switching the feed of your show to the "E" or "H" feed, so you have to switch over there to finish to show... They do give you about a 5-minute warning though.
kuwae to 3-1
kyoda now 2-2
Good looking win by Asakoryu's little brother.
Takerufuji spotted at the juryo dohyo irilooking thick, solid, tight
>Asahakuryu
Shishi won decisivelywhen Onokatsu loses, Shishi will be in the lead for juryo
Easy win for Shishi, he now has sole ownership of the juryo lead for the next 45 minutes or so, possibly longer depending on Takerufuji's performance.
Time for Nabatame, can he keep digging his way out?I think he has a good chance today
cute girls in the crowd >tfw
Nabatame is [spoiler]victorious[/spoiler]Kachi koshi definitely possible
Terunofuji vs Daieisho tomorrow night
Strong stuff from Kisenosato's disciple over Hakuho's trainee
Oof. That lady just took it hard from a falling Tamashoho
>>142899907Thats OK, Tamashoho is a lightweight. One of the upsides of raising the dohyo thats not mentioned often is that it was make the falls onto the spectators that much more spectacular.

oh cannot wait until Takeru is back in full power
>Shishi is now leading Juryo
Onokatsu was massively outclassed there. Seems like an 8-0 return for Taker isn't all that unlikely.
I told you guys it would be more kino that way
Takerufuji is blacker than akebono gawd damn
fuuuuck I missed it
>>142900088

>Shodai vs WakatakakageKino incoming
Derp.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>I'll try spinning thats a good trick
Classic shodai W
TRUST THE PLAN
Shodai being able to do that casts enormous doubt on Wakatakakage's rumored comeback.
I've always said he has the best footwork in sumo. And he's strong, but everything else is lacking.

>>142901292Good Jigger music
>>142901292I think it's great. 10/10 on the hype factor. It's way better than the last one we had. But I still like Speedin'. It's very nostalgic to me since it's when I started watching sumo.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzOHjDbgcW0But the one before that (No Limit) is better than Speedin'.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYHyoldNKF0For the music, I'd rate:Ride Wit Us > Speedin' > No LimitFor the whole intro with visuals, I'd rate:Ride Wit Us > No Limit > Speedin'
>>142901292>>142901453 (Me)I want to take this time to point out how much I really like this shot. It really makes it feel like Teru is the final boss of sumo. Even though he's been absent for a lot of the time this intro has been running, it really drives home the point this basho.Also, I fucking hate how Onosato doesn't have his arms crossed in the intro, like they couldn't get a good picture for him. He's just standing there like a retard with that serial killer look on his face. It really sticks out like a sore thumb in the intro, and prevents me from enjoying this scene in all its glory.
>>142896482>It's very important to them that the whitebacks stay far away from their sport.Very based. Waito piggu go home!
>>142901448It's still a Ni-...

turns out...
I do not care for Takerufuji.
>>142902848Then you must not care for fighting spirit and winning sumo in which case I fail to understand why you are even here.
>>142901418If you try to pummel for underhooks at a bad time, you leave yourself vulnerable. Guys get caught mid-transition and only have 1 arm to defend with.webm related. Shodai tries to makikae and Hakuho pancakes him.
>>142903185rareis this a considered a diss or something like that?
>>142903274It's totally legal. You can start anywhere as long as it's behind the line.>is this a considered a dissIn that particular case, it was mind games.
>>142903274shodai, like many rikishi, is an autistic retard. hakuho put shodai in a confusion loop hei couldn't recover from unless they hard restarted the match. hakuho even announced his respect for shodai's retard strength after the match
>>142903413he totally removed the idea of a charge start
>>142901453No limit is pure kino with Hakuho in ending
>takerufuji wonwhat the fuck onokatsu
>>142903185people should do this against horseshitryu
>>142902848He does not care for sumo
>>142911255So you guys keep saying. I want a source on that. Not that I find it that absurd an opinion anyway. Sumo is fun for us because it requires no work.
Kotozakura is alright, I'm starting to like him despite myself
>>142910850it's funny how similar they are in stats. the only big difference is, takeru wasn't makushita tsukedashi, so had to start with maezumo>jonokuchi
even if women were allowed to compete in sumo, I think they'd top out at sekiwake
>>142913139*in pro sumo
>>142913139Women are unclean, the dohyo is a holy place.
>>142913139Why? Or do you mean against men? That would be even more retarded.
>>142913303I mean against men yes
>>142913470Someone getting out of Jonokuchi would be a miracle.
>>142913139>>142913303>pro female sumo league>not allowed to be ozeki or yokozunaFucking based.
I'm in favour of women in pro sumo if they agree to fight topless and bare-assed like the men. Might be a good way to get more people to watch the lower divisions, maybe charge extra.
>>142914447I've been saying this for forever. It's so shit how amazumo female wrestlers have to wear bodysuits/leotards. I'm all for equality, so make the gear used also equal. Mawashi only or fuck off.Of course, the men and women would be separated. I don't know what this guy >>142913470 is smoking.
>>142914447>>142914543you want to watch fat half-naked girls do sumo? ugh no thanks.
>>142914543>Of course, the men and women would be separatedNah, women can fight in the same divisions like they're anyone else. Would be hilarious to see some babushka come over and throttle someone like Enho. Though I have no expectations any of them would even make sandanme.
>>142912910Zak is the best Ozeki, if he would work out like his life depended on it for the next 6 months and add about 10kg of muscle to his frame then he would be unstoppable, he would start getting cups and all his talk about further promotion would become realistic
teranofuji has the biggest traps, teranofuji has the most success, we can conclude that the only variable that matters is trap size
>>142915055>teranofujiisegahama has yet another new sekitori?
>>142915215No, it's just one trillion fujis working together
Hello guys. I'm new to sumo. I like Ura and Daieisho.
>>142914600You watch fat, half-naked men push and hug each other, but you wouldn't watch the same thing with women? I hate to say this, but I think you might be homosexual.
>>142916443Hello Lars. Those are good choices, fren.
>>142916549because i'm not watching those men in a sexual way. the women on the other hand... if i need to see half-naked women, they better be skinny and not fat.
>>142916827>t. low test
Simps go and kill yourselves. Goon on any other board. Just fuck off. I don't care about your disgusting fat women fantasies.

>>142918887What is this training method you're referring to?
>>142918887It's a rebuild.
>>142911385>So you guys keep saying. I want a source on that.https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/141081176/#141102148
>>142918887>>142919981>In sumo wrestling, morning practice is usually held early in the morning, but Nakamura, who is keen to tackle things outside of the box, has come up with a policy that does not focus on time. On the 18th, he plans to have two sessions, one in the morning to train agility and core strength, and one in sumo wrestling, in the afternoon.>It is customary for wrestlers to eat twice a day, once at lunch and once at night after morning practice, but Oyakata Nakamura has breakfast at 7am, so he has three meals a day. Regarding practice after lunch, stablemaster Tomokaze says, "I don't feel the need to be tied down to practice hours. How do you think about the time you can use with leeway? Some people use it for treatment, and others for training. That's where the difference between those who become stronger comes in.">For starters, practice began at 3:30 in the afternoon, when most rikishi in sumo are awakening from their gluttonous lunch coma.>Called to order by the stable's heyagashira, M-16 Tomokaze, the rikishi wrestled from the four-hand position (man-to-man--yotsu zumo) without taking the belt.>Said the oyakata, "This is to help us learn how to use our bodies. I want to teach them how to attack and defend, be it in striking, re-wrapping, and learning how to employ and swing the head," he explained.>"They need to develop their ability and learn techniques-- not just practice monotonous wrestling.">"I am a first-year master and will continue to introduce various things and repeat trial and error," he concluded.https://www.sanspo.com/article/20240617-BCJYA27E3JO2FMSJ4USHQHULTE/
>>142918887>Tomokaze 4-4 while fighting at his lowest rank so far this year2 more wins than last basho>Kayo - 3-5first time as a sekitori>Kanpuzan 0-4name is unluckyOverall the jury is still out
>>142920491>>Kanpuzan 0-4There are only 2 rikishi on the entire banzuke with 'p' in their shikona. Wew lad.
Kikuchi finally gets a win
>>142921209>Kikuchi finally gets a win
>>142916443samme
I’m going to send Nabatame a link to Hakuhos last basho and tell him to watch it on repeat every day till he figures out what real sumo is all about. If you aren’t throwing forearm shivers or giving brutal slaps to the face you will never make it.
>>142920384That doesn't seem radical enough to produce any marked difference
>>142921921It's a very radical departure from SOP.For example, really only the Mongolians have ever trained by starting from the clinch (because that's how bökh works) and were noted in the papers for being different for using that as a training strategy. And breaking the rigidity of training menus and schedules to allow individuals to focus on what they need to improve is something I've never heard of before in sumo.
>>142920384Sumo seems so backwards and retarded, they could benefit so much from modern training techniques and nutrition. Imagine a bunch of trained body builders heeming people out of the dohyo instead of 500lb Kenhos who can barely walk.
>>142922110Sumo is redolent with tradition. The life of a rikishi is as much a part of sumo tradition as the bouts themselves.
>>142922110Think you're clever? Every sumo casual with an easy life has said the same thing, but it is a comment born from ignorance. You do not understand weight and force because you have never done manual labor in your life. You're a bitch. Bodybuilders would get destroyed in sumo. Too small. It's simple physics. Idiot.
>>142922110Strangely, it's always been this way. People thought sumo had antiquated views 100 years ago. Multiple yokozuna have died from appendicitis while active because they considered it un-masculine to seek medical attention for pain while being a "strongman"/rikishi.
>>142922110>Imagine a bunch of trained body buildersBody builders haven't successfully transitioned into ANY combat sport, let alone sumo.
>>142922110Have you ever been slapped in the face by a 500lb man?
>>142922199He thinks the pretty boys with six pack abs he follows on instagram could successfully transition to sumo and become yokozuna since their "modern training techniques and nutrition" are so great. LOL
>>142922110You think the "beautiful" could be "strong", but you fail to understand that the "strong" are already "beautiful".
>>142922110>this again
>The musclebound body of Tochigiyama on the right ought to be taken as a model by today's modern rikishi, whereas Wakahitachi seen on the left has a body like that of Umegatani - one that is too heavy for him and which produces many weaknesses. Indeed his is a body of a bygone age but, with a great deal of effort, it is all too easy to imagine he might redeem himself yet. -"Heroic World", Summer issue of 1920, special sumo photography edition

I would guess more than 80% of sumo have too much fat and not enough muscle. Eating twice a day? That's so fucking retarded.
>>142920384Nakamura: I'm an alcoholic and I like to stay up late drinking, so heres my lame excuse for why morning practice should be changed to so that I have time to sleep in and then wake up and get drunk before it starts

>>142921209Its only just begun
>>142922347>beat up a bunch of people who have been training inefficiently for 10 years Unironically if he trained for a couple years with a competent stable he could be a salaried sumo.

>>142922362Trained technique, not their fucking backwards diet and conditioning you boglim. Also of course someone with no training is going to get fucked up in a sport where colliding heads is normal. He still won.
>>142922336He's a 320 pound monster on an extreme amount of steroids and he only beat up some young kids. He's an outlier.
>>142922165>Too smallalso bodybuilders are all massively top heavy which makes them easier to knock over.
>>142922343>I'm an alcoholic and I like to stay up late drinkingthis is literally every rikishi though

>>142922336

Today's final Makushita match was a good long belt battle, Kiryuko ended up prevailing and as a reward he'll be making his juryo debut in September.
