Its happening! Sumo is back. The news so far: total domination for east in jonokuchi, Enho's jonidan opener happening in a few minutes.>Banzuke:http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Banzuke.aspxhttps://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoBanzuke/index/>Fight Schedule & Results:https://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoMain/torikumi/1/1/>Some sumo links and how to watch live:https://rentry.org/uwbgc88d
First for Wakatakakage YUSHO
Enho won convincingly
bless you anon
Its time for kotozakura to ASCEND
role call, who's your sumoshi?
>>144282892I don't know what a sumoshi is but if you're asking for my favourite you've already posted him
>this is Takakeisho's last tournament>Terunofuji won't last much longer When those guys were healthy (usually, twice a year), they were guaranteed to compete for the Basho.Other than Onosato who can go to the top and have this kind of result?
Mongol sumo are retarded drunks but I like hoshoryu.
>>144285253apparently he gained some weight, which he needed to do and probably needs to gain more if he wants to match uncle's proportions. and if he doesn't want to match uncle's proportions he is retarded. uncle was a douche, but he was an absolutely dominant wrestler.
Glad to be back, gentlemen.
Newest Futoaoyama recruit Mita soon
xth for Keisho's last rideo7
>>144285685it's so over
>>144285737what a choke, really generous of them to label that one a slap down
Fuck Cacakeishō.
>>144282892>>144283510HoSHITyu sucks. Ura for life.
>>144285999I like both
>>144285401Yeah he seems light. His throws are kino but I worry he'll get a nasty injury if he doesn't get a bit bigger.
>>144285685That was about as disappointing a debut I could imagine barring an injury. Hope he does better in the remaining six.
>>144286083mita will be eating with koga and kikuchi soon
I haven't followed anything since Shodai got demoted from Ozeki. qrd on all the lads?
>>144285401I always find it kind of funny how much people bring in their weights.Pic related is a part of Asashoryu's career.Hoshoryu is 4 cm taller and is currently listed at 149kg on the official jsa page.
>>144286806I forgot to add Asashoryu reached 148kg in 2007 and said there till retirement.
>>144286834Oh. I thought he was bigger for some reason.
sumo foodbros...
>>144287041It's fucking over. Poor Roga always having to compete after these jobbers.
Sumo family not streaming any more? I just want to watch I don’t want to hear some gaijin fag blabbing
Tomato better not sale my kachi clash I don't really support him
>>144286158>TakakeishoJust lost his ozeki status and needs 10 wins at sekiwake to get it back>WakatakakageWrecked his knee and fell down to makushita. Recovered and made it back to makuuchi last basho.>AsanoyamaMade it back to komosubi before he tore his ACL. Estimated recovery around a year. Plans for one more run.>HoshoryuMade ozeki and won a yusho. Doesn't look poised to make yokozuna any time soon, but not in any danger of losing rank.>KotonowakaMade ozeki and took his grandfather's shikona, Kotozakura. Like Hoshoryu, doesn't look in rope contention but stable.>KiribiyamaWon 2 yusho and became ozeki, taking his oyakata's old shikona of Kirishima. Got injured and demoted back to sekiwake. Failed to make 10 wins and needs to make ozeki the old-fashioned way again.>TerunofujiStill pulls out most of the time, but when he's healthy enough to make 15 days, he wins the yusho.>OnosatoMega amateur prodigy that joined in May of last year at Ms10. Won a yusho this May (fastest ever to win makuuchi yusho from debut) and is on an ozeki run. Needs 12 +- wins this basho.>TobizaruTobizaruin juryo:>HakuohoAnother amateur prodigy. Started as Ms15, stormed up the ranks and JY'd in his debut at makuuchi, but got injured and floundered in juryo. Looks to be healthy again.>TakerufujiProdigy, but unlike Hakuoho and Onosato, started at JK. Made it to the top division in 9 tournaments, and became the first wrestler in over a century to win the makuuchi yusho in their first appearance. Set the record for fastest makuuchi yusho until Onosato broke it*. Injured his ankle during his record-breaking yusho in March. Sat out of almost 2 bashos to recover, only popping in for 2 matches to maintain his juryo rank. Should be healthy enough to compete again.other news>Hokuseihoretired from scandal>HakuhoHeya disbanded because of Hokuseiho scandal. Currently merged with Isegahama. Could reform his stable in the future after enough good boy points.
Staring contest
>>144287399beautiful, thank you>>tobizaru>tobizaruperfection>hakuho hokuseiho newsholy fuck thats crazy news.
>>144287399based informer
Good to be back for another basho. Predicting Onosato to clinch it again this time.In other news: the audacity of this retard mbovo knows no bounds. It is one thing to simply rebroadcast the NHK's/ Abema's channel, but it is quite pathetic to profiteer off of someone else's IP and then paint yourself as the victim and shame your dumbass channel members into donating to you.
>>144287752Is that Natto?
>>144287764No, mbovo is one of the Twitch fags.NattoSumo is the GOAT. Releases all of his shit for free and actually does a lot of editing work compared to re-streamers. His stat splash page is better than the actual official NHK/Abema ones.
>>144287798Fuck Ima retard, I meant mbovo.Natto is super based. All those infographs and shit. Helped me to pull my friend to sumo.
>>144287752my favorite is the 60 year old boomer cops in his chat. watched someone say fuck and they banned him to oblivion.
>>144287764No, Mbovo AKA Dondondondon on KickMbovo is a fucking grifter and you shouldn't trust anything he says
>September 2024>I am forgotten
>>144287821lmao mine is that time where people in his discord genuinely thought mbovo was the one providing the english commentary
>>144288094how do they wrap their brains around one day hes australian and one day he has a funny accent? the average sumo watcher is so retarded
Guys.... i think i'm starting to BELIEVE
>>144288183Never doubted
OnoNOTsu
Wow, Chura punked him.
Fucking Meisei is the NPCiest guy that reached sanyaku, what is he even good at?

>>144282892Me?
Oshi is like your favorite Idol idk if its strictly idols but idol fans are the only people Ive heard use itKotozakura is my sumoish
>>144289422A wise man once said that certain Yokozunas were famous idols in Japan. I think having a sumoshi is appropriate.
Takerufuji is all upper body
good
Not feeling it desu senpai. Think it's going to be a boring basho. Onosato/Kotozakura wins with 12-3.
>>144288710>Kotoshoho is a three time juryo champ. How does he suck so much in the top division?low IQ, which is not so much a problem in juuryou
>>144290583>boring basho>Onosato/Kotozakura wins with 12-3does not compute
>>144284223Kotozakura has been pretty good for a while
>>144291388fug, wrong one!
>>144290583I feel like we will have a bunch of people fighting for the cup beyond those two, like Kirishima and even Takanosho again.
>>144291388enho vs hokuseiho
who is the main character this honbasho?
>>144291553Shishi
>>144291553Me, I am
>>144291553Takakeisho
>>144291553Aonishiki
>>144284223Onosato, Atamifuji, and Roga are the youngsters tipped to go high in the coming years. Also possibly Shirokuma, especially since he's in the same stable as Onosato. Roga suffers from being in a weak stable. Dude just lifts weights all day and fucks off to other stables for bouts.Glad to see Onosato and Ura pick up day one wins. Hoshoryu got fucking cheated, no way was that a clear cut Takanosho win, on the slow-mo it looked like they touched down at the same time.
>>144292439>-ACK!!!akeisho
>>144290583>Kotozakura wins with 12-3.People call this every basho yet he hasn't even won once yet. Literally every sanyaku but one has more Emperor's Cups than him.
>>144293334He's the only guy who consistently puts up double-digit wins in every basho since I don't know when, maybe five years? It's only a matter of time.
It's wild seeing his record presented like this. What a monster.
>>144294656already peakedsad!
>>144294656Fuck onosucko. Baby head retard.
He won't make it
>>144295841off the toilet?
>>144293866>He's the only guy who consistently puts up double-digit wins in every basho since I don't know when, maybe five years?Last September.
>>144293086Atamifuji is a couple years younger than the rest of that gang. Roga was in makushita when he was as old as Atamifuji is currently.
it's quite incredible how much force can takerufuji generate with these average looking thighs. other guys have huge muscular thighs and cannot push half what he is able to.
>hoSHITryu's 4th consecutive opening day loss
>>144299582To be fair this one was against July's runner-up and it was a REALLY shitty call in my imo if I'm being desu with you. The back angle slow-mo juuuust looks like his heel very lightly touched the ground.
Takerufuji Yokozuna run begins NOW
I don't understand Takakeisho. Why didn't he retire last tournament?If anything, if there is any surgery that could heal him, he should have done it after getting his 8th win in March.What has he won from competing injured? Aggravating his injury with records of 0-2-13, 5-10? Losing to people he would beat easily if healthy?What does he gain by jobbing while injured while fighting as a Sekiwake?He has had a good career. 2nd best rikishi to never make Yokozuna.
>>144302550His pride won't let him go out like a bitch. He probably wants to prove the doubters wrong by regaining Ozeki before retiring.
>>144300200Oh shut up, he was manhandled and pushed out easily. Hit the gym, nephew.
Thinking of that one stomp move Kotozakura did once to stabilize himself. It was very anime. wish I had a clip.
>>144303874Anon please, the days of Akebono, Takanohana, Asashoryu, and Hakuho are gone. You will watch 12-3 Yushos and you will be happy.
>>144304570If someone is getting 15-0 all the time, doesn't that basically means everyone else is weak?If anything a Yokozuna getting 12-3 or 23-2 means there are people who can compete with him.
>>144306114There's no entertainment in an even playing field though. It's best if a couple of guys can rise to the top and become the ones to beat.One rikishi going 15-0 all the time doesn't mean everyone else is weak; it just means they're a true fuckin Yokozuna. Them crushing is hype. Them losing is also hype. Nobody wants a basho of Takakeishos who go 8-7 every time. YAWN.
Sumo is back as so am I!WHO'S THAT RIKISHI?!
>henka on day 1
>>144300200>His heel touched the ground>shitty call
Have the POWER RANKINGS been updated yet?
>>144293334Only a matter of time hes the best in sumo only second to teru
>>144286034delete this
>>144306114Yeah but that doesn't go so far when we've seen the current Yokozuna get dominated by Hakuho.So the current rikishi can barely trouble Teru past his prime, who barely troubled Hakuho. Not to demean Terunofuji, but you know. It's Hakuho. Everyone wants another heroic wrestler like that.
>>144306114This is what I thought too when I first got into sumo, but honestly every basho being a complete tossup with no one standing out gets really old really fast.
Kikuchi is never going to make it out of jonokuchi
>>144317427The boy is too soft, he needs to realize it's a fight
>>144317427zoomers, but let's give him at least a year, unless he quits earlier lol
Day 1: ???Sorry, I missed the opening day, I was sick.Here's the wallpaper for this basho for archival purposes.
Hakuoho...
It's the sleeveless black shirt lady for me.
>sakura miyawaki>momo hiraiGet these korean comfort women off my Japanese television
keisho's decline coincides with her abrupt and continued absence of attendance
>>144319514kys, faggot
>>144319460Pic?
>>144319593no, she's my basho waifu
>Day 1: Hiro>Day 2: Rajaweak start for the aki basho
>they haven't fixed Onosato's picture in the Abema introGod damn it. He looks so dumb not doing the pose like everyone else.>>144319618Thank you for filling in the gaps for me. I appreciate it.
>>144319603Not sharing your basho waifu with your sumo bros is rude I saw her tho pretty good.Personally I want a tall nip (5'8 or taller) to share my 6'4 genes with so I can live vicariously through my sons when they make yokozuna
Wait, there is a sleeveless black shirt white woman and another sleeveless black shirt jap woman. Imagine if all three got together and started making out.
>>144308364Cacakeisho
>>144310406Someone add Discipulo de Kakuryu (Discipulo de Kakuryu) with the other disgraced ozeki
that was the most aggressive top knot pull I've ever seen from kitanowaka. how did that not get called?
Onokatsu is fucking selling my kachi clash
Congratulations to Tom!
The cycle continues
Oh thank god Waka didn't job to this bum let's go
That's what sumo looks like when the rikishis don't have bum knees.
Its weird to hear Takakeishos name at this time of the day
COME ON BOWLING BALL
How fucking slow does Onasato's hair grow
He's so finished.
>lost to fucking OhoLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Keisho is so done.Sad.
Yep, its fucking over
>T-ACK!-ACK!-EISHO
?????
Glitch in the matrix
Looking forward to the Onosato Takerufuji Hakuoho yokozuna era.
>>144320201Hakuoho is struggling in juryo
fat stacks for neph
Keisho should literally retire right now. The less I see of that fat fuck, the better.
Can atamifuji get his fucking sanyaku already, it's getting irritating
Its takakeishover he has no pop to his sumo like before>>144320215>one loss is strugglingChill its day 2
The people like zak's mean mug shoulder roll
>>144317427>never going to make it out of jonokuchithat would be an insane feat, given what the jonokuchi promotion standards are

>Kintamayama only doing week 1>Natto reduced to discord shilling>miselet and NHK are a day behind>Jason keeps shoving his ugly face and voice into everythingI just want to watch sumo when I wake up in the morning, what the fuck
>>144322480There's a natto reuploader on youtube currently, who knows how long until he gets smacked.https://www.youtube.com/@omkarsoni8491/videos
>>144322480Natto's Discord method is fine. You don't have to stay and chat or anything. Go in, get the link, leave. If you're there more than a minute something's gone wrong.
>>144319248Why would you put Missingnofuji on the poster, la?
so did i miss anything exciting
Has anyone else noticed Natto's video quality of the fights themselves seem awfully low now? I feel it has been getting progressively worse over time and now it's like 480p or some shit, even when I grab it from his own site.
>>144322480>fermentedsØybeans.org>gogo takakeishoNow you don't even have to visit the Discord.
>>144297858He watched Ama and learned. Just BLAST them away. It just works even if you're not that tall or heavy.Upper body is key. Everyone has legs.
>>144323429>Onosato and Kotozakura still looking like the most likely to Yusho>Hoshoryu's day one curse is gone so he absolutely blew Daieisho into the third row>Tobizaru is a cunt>Takayasu is actually looking great>Takerufuji is making Juryo his bitch>That Ukrainian guy in the 3rd division continues to be unreasonably good, lifetime record is now 33-3, apparently hasn't lost more than 1 bout in any basho thus farThat's all I can remember that's worth knowing. Oh and someone in a lower division dislocated their shoulder.
>>144323589thanks brother
just a round point
Ah, forgot about it.Just streamed day 1 on NHKs official youtube and am now waiting for the broadcast of Grand Sumo highlights day 2.
>every futagoyama rikishi except koga lost yesterdaykek
>>144323862Its timeTO BELIEVE
>>144323589>Tobizaru is a cuntI don't know what's been going on with him. His antics quickly went from entertaining to tiresome to irritating.
Do we think Takakeisho is going to see out all 15 days or kyujo and intai once he picks up his 6th loss?
>>144324002I could forgive his day one Henka because of how well it was executed and converted into the throw down, but mindgame false starts into YET ANOTHER Henka against fucking Onosato of all people just reeks of desperation. Glad to see how well Onosato dealt with it and how much more powerful he was than a M1 Rikishi.>>144324022He's like Batman fighting Bane for the first time in the Dark Knight Rises now; we get to see what breaks first, his spirit or his fucking neck.I'd bet he won't see out all 15 days and will promptly announce his retirement. Nobody wants to see a formerly powerful Ozeki slide down into irrelevance like Aoiyama.>>144323975He looks like every gay furry's dream bear daddy.
>cacakeisho will soon retireEnd of an era.
>>144324086>Nobody wants to see a formerly powerful Ozeki slide down into irrelevance like Aoiyama.if I remember correctly, Takakeisho is also more plugged-in with his post-sumo career than most. He's got the Minatogawa share lined-up and apparently also owns the old Mihogaseki stable building via his wife's father.
A leg pick attempt is not a henka.Sideways movement at the tachiai doesn't immediately make anything a henka.
>>144324258>OOPSY POOPSY I DID A SIWWY WITTLE FAWSE START THEN IMMEDIATEWY DID A WITTLE DODGY WODGY X333If you have time to post here you have time to train properly, Tobi.
>>144324322
>>144324322He's right, a lot of people call things henkas that aren't, but calling a legpick a henka is incredibly stupid. Opening up that low in the beginning is actually really risky. Of course he's gonna go for more technical sumo against a guy half a foot taller than him who always just goes full blast at the tachiai.
>>144324513If you don't want to take the full brunt of a powerful tachiai just start further back from the line.
>>144324536I don't acrually have a response to that, made me laugh though.
>>144324536I'm sure Wise Tobi already thought of that and ruled it out for some reason us normal humans can't understand.
>>144324086Aoiyama wasn't an Ōzeki, perhaps Kotoshōgiku would be a more apt comparison
>>144323529quality seems fine on telegram
>>144324752he meant tochinoshin
Nobody is talking about Endo yet, but whatever was ailing him that sent him down to juryo is all better. 10-5 last 'sho, 2-0 currently and well within reach of regaining his slot in the joi.
>>144324550He ruled it out because he knows he can't beat Onosato in a technical bout either. 'sato is just too large and powerful for most rikishi to beat no matter what they try, so he went for cheap tricks. I bet Terunofuji can't wait for 'sato's 'zuna promotion so he can retire and finally give up a foot to diabetes.
>>144324086>>144324322>I could forgive his day one Henka because of how well it was executed and converted into the throw down, but mindgame false starts into YET ANOTHER HenkaSorry, are you people chastising small rikishi for using tricks now? You expect them to win sumo bouts fair-and-square against men 100 kg heavier than them?
Aonishiki will be in juryo in November. Every time he jumps up in the rankings I wonder if he has finally reached the level where he'll find some competition of equal ability and then he goes 6-1 again.
>>144325035or he just didn't want to give a guy who weighed 100 pounds more than him the entire ring for free.
>>144324910Sure, he does seem healthy, but he also hasn't beaten anyone in a long while. His most impressive win this whole year came against an ailing M5 Ryuuden.If he starts hot, gets a little push and starts fighting well against guys in the top half of the banzuke, maybe we can get back to talking about him being that just-outside-the-joi mainstay that he's been for the past few years.As for being in the sanyaku conversation, though, that ship has sailed.
>>144325134He's only an inch shorter than Takakeisho.
>>144325134>You expect them to win sumo bouts fair-and-square against men 100 kg heavier than them?Hiradoumi does.
I was looking at some makuuchi rikishi stats and lmao Endo's ring surname is Shota. No wonder middle age women love him.
>>144325233Not just his ring name. That's his actual name. He's one of the small group of top division wrestlers that fights under their own names.The others, if I remember correctly, are Shodai, Ura, and Takayasu; while Meisei fights under his given name, not his family name.
>>144325233"Shota"/"Shotaro" are not only common Japanese names, but literally the origin of the term you're thinking of. Much like "lolita" references the name of a fictional character, so does "shota," in this case the character Shotaro Kaneda from Tetsujin 28.
>>144325413Who is lolita a reference to? Nabokov's lolita was called Dolores.
>>144325744"Lolita" is a diminutive for Dolores, like "Jezza" for Jeremy or "Genie" for Eugene, etc.
>>144325805Humbert spends the book calling her Dolly, only using "lolita" when fantasising. The term seems established prior to the book DESU.
>>144325835You might be misremembering the book. The word "Lolita" appears in the text well over 200 times, "Dolly" is just under 100. "Lolita" is the very first word of the book, even.
For any Tobizaru defenders, can you please explain why even after the obviously intentional false start he then intentionally gave Onosato a hard shove to the chest? The guy was actually a disgrace today.
>>144326626My guess would be he was trying to throw Onosato off his game. He can't beat a focused Onosato, but his unpredictable style might have a chance against an angry and unfocused Onosato.
>>144326626https://youtu.be/St8iEpkcDJc?t=5
>>144326626I don’t get this “intentional false start” business. Always seemed to me like false starts only benefit the one who wasn’t ready. The fast shooter has to stand up like and apologise to everyone like a mug, while everyone smirks and thinks “he’s a bit keen, isn’t he?”
>>144326795He thinks he did it to make Onosato think he was definitely going to charge forward at full speed, to make his leg pick more unexpected.
>>144326705We all know that Tobizaru is no match for an in-form Onosato, but in my eyes that conduct is disgraceful and not what sumo is about. You win inside the bout, not outside of it. What next, is Tobizaru gonna start trash talking people to the media? Would that be okay to throw them off? Hell no, this ain't the UFC, this is honorabru sumo unironically.Also, that a Maegashira 1 would be scared enough to resort to that really does speak volumes about just how good Onosato is.>>144326795Tobizaru's false start was so obvious that an apology meant nothing. Go watch it back, he straight up shoves Onosato in the chest as he does it to try and wind him up because he knows he's about to get bulldozed.https://youtu.be/koNxp1sY_Xc?si=J8kzDsrOoj07YDkB&t=1641
>>144326795>The fast shooter has to stand up like and apologise to everyone like a mug, while everyone smirks and thinks “he’s a bit keen, isn’t he?”Actually both wrestlers have to apologize. The other guy for being too slow.It's a lot of gamesmanship and shithousery on both ends. They're all trying to mess with the other guy's timing. A lot of false starts are because one guy got really wound up and ready to spring, his opponent notices and simply doesn't put his hands down, the first guy has to charge forward simply to avoid pitching forward onto his face.
>>144326835>but in my eyes that conduct is disgraceful and not what sumo is about. You win inside the bout, not outside of it
>>144327414Kisenosato was being a faggot and Hakuho was inconceivably based for that henka.
>>144324086That was a leg pick britanon and a pretty good one onosato missed so hard but corrected himself,Tobi couldve had it too if he committed I bet he didn't expect it to actually work.Yall want fat fuck sumo expect silly henkas and leg picks
>>144327658If he didn't expect it to work why did he try it lmao was he just gonna scratch his balls for him and call it a day?
>>144327706Sometimes you try stuff not expecting it to work but it does you just have to commit. I Russian tie snapped a purple belt at my gym didn't expect it to work but it did.https://youtube.com/shorts/Lv-ESWsWvd4?si=kNvJfQLx8VVmBFqT

>>144328413>>144328510Looks sick. And like a great way to fuck up your elbow.
>Futagoyama beya collectively 5-11 currently Miyabiyama needs to light a fire under their asses sometime soon, they spend all day erryday laying around doing gay faggot crap on their gay faggot phones instead of training. They're professionals, they should be training 8 hours a day every day, thats their job. Its disgusting and embarrassing how the only one who puts in any effort is the foreigner.
>>144330157Well, we only see a very small selection of their days. I did feel a lack of fighting spirit in the uncut practice videos. Maybe it's because Roga is the only competitive one? I think Mita is going to be a really good influence in that way, being a former captain at Kindai and everything. Hopefully the rest of his matches go better than his first lol.
>>144330157Miyabiyama is too soft. He needs to recruit hokuseiho as stable manager.
>>144330157Looking forward to which country you set to your vpn to next
You fags need to quit bitching. Gamesmanship is part of sumo and the only way smaller guys like tobizaru can survive in sumo is by being crafty.
Kotozakura looked like terunofuji last scooped takanosho right up
>>144335231According to wikipedia, his father was a lady's man.
>>144335437Seems like it his cheers where mostly female watching some of kotonowaka sr's fights. Ig some japs wanna be crushed by 6'2 400lb men
That's right, skellington. Women like big boys.
it's so over sumo foodbros...

Remember when Takerufuji won his debut tournament on a broken ankle? Then he took a basho off and spent his time at the beach. Then the next basho he came back with a tan for two days, faced off against the juryo leader, won both matches easily to remain in juryo then took the rest of the basho off. He's like an anime character.
The people in basho stream chats on yt seem really dumb. Seals that clap like crazy for any foreign rikishi no matter what.
>>144335701All of that head to head contact with Oho last night must've been too much for him.
>>144335701Honestly he shouldve dropped and took an extended leave like teru after ichinojo crippled him this heal on the dahyo shit is stupid. He wasn't that old when he got hurt could've easly ran back up.
>>144335701Wonder how he will be as a coach. Who will inherit the battle hamster style?
>>144336434You don't understand. If he stops moving, his heart will also stop.
>>144327414Really a shame that the goat had to be such a classless buffoon. I don’t blame the Japanese for being wary of mongols.
>>144335701LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGood fucking riddance. I never want to see that run over toad on the dohyo ever again.
>Daiseizan from China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous RegionHow in the world is that read out? Is it just "Chuugoku" or what? I'm at work while Juryo is on.
Day 3: Murray
Ugh... Don't smile with teeth again.
>Murray comments on him always being on Day 3I knew keeping track of this would pay off. He's been on Day 3 ever since I started taking note of the commentators.
he just gave up
>Takayasu stood up and let himself get pushed outAh shit, here we go again. What did he injure this time?
>>144336789From >>144336816 they just say China at the top in parentheses, then lower down specify he's from the Mongol "Autonomous" Region of China.
>>144336911Yeah, but what about when they announce his name and heya before his bout? Or when they introduce him in the entrance ceremony?
Takayasu injured again, it's so over
HOKU 14-1 Y INCOMING
Thank you for your service, Bimbo
big tom doing it for ireland what a guy
Congrats, Tom. You've earned this.
Best match of the night so far
we do a little slipping
Ura worked his magic again.
You know maybe clay aint the best to grapple on shoho and ura was sliding all over the place
You best start believing in the Shodai Zensho
>>144337118The dohyo seems pretty slippery tonight for whatever reason
Which Oho showed up today? Oho (Abierto) or Oho (Cerrado)?
Onosato clowning on these fatsos.
HIRADOOOOO fucking love that guy
Oh fuck it happened, Takakeisho out. Is he finally retiring?
>Keisho out>no groan or moan from the crowd>clapping for WMHYou love to see it.
>Abi hair pull at the beginningFuck Abi.
>The spinlord has entered the dohyo
Damn Kirishima is looking solid, hope he can get his ozeki back next year
kirishima next yokozunafella looks promising
TMDamifuji
Let's fucking gooo atami
Oh damn, Atamifuji finally proving his worth. This is not Hoshoryu's basho.>>144337305I think atm he's the only Mongolian ever to reach Ozeki and drop back down instead of progressing to Yokozuna. Unless Hoshoryu joins him lmao.
>>144337215Ungrateful dogs. Keisho was representing the JP sumo for years, agaist the mongol menace.
>>144337316Yeah past two days were so close, losing exciting bouts to 2 of the three best looking rikishi this basho, but finally a win
No fucking way. Tobi got that.
Lmao it looked like Zack's armpit was giving birth to him. Basho is officially Zack v Sato with Shodai as the chaos element.
RIGGED
the fix is in boys
ACTUALLY ROBBED
>>144281879Highway robbery
Japanese are racist against monkeys. Absolulte robbery.
How do I watch?
Someone's gonna be in trouble for that one tomorrow.
That was fucking bullshit. Tobi was ROBBED.
Wtf, how was that not atleast a mono-ii lmao
Nepo baby moment
>Oh fuck there's no present Yokozuna and our only two Ozeki are both shidding and farding themselves, quick, make a bad call so at least one of them winsIf the Yusho is decided by that bad call there's going to be a riot.
>>144336928He's Chinese.
Tobi didn't touch out first so uh, under what grounds did he lose that one?
maybe chief judge agrees with anon that tobi's deliberate matta yesterday was uber-dishonouru, or maybe they just don't want to humiliate inosuke in his last basho and said fuck it whatever
>>144337416https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shini-taiIt's still weird for it to not go to a monoii.
>>144337305Kirishitma is a one trick pony he wont make ozeki again let alone yokozunaFirst ever Mongolian ozeki to make yokozuna btw
>>144337506Not make
As the biggest kotofan I don't think he won that either zak looked back thinking he didn't either. Fuck it we ball we'll take those
>>144337381Unofficial stream links in the OP. NHK website has official highlights on their website for the top division, but they don't come out until the day after. They also officially stream the second half of the 1st, 7th day, and last day live.https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/Google NattoSumo for highlights of the other divisions.
>>144337432It's not so much a matta that's the problem as the chest slap that was completely uncalled for and an obvious attempt to annoy his opponent.
>Shodai 3-012 MORE DAYS
>>144337416I think the top of his foot hit the tawara.
Its time to rest GENIUS, you did all you could
this is beyond robbery
>>144338148
>>144338128How pissed do you think the monkey is?
>>144338128Looks like tobi's top of his foot touched first koto needs to lock in he let tobi set that up.
>>144338128a totally clean Kotozakura winare you blind?
Are we going to just ignore that Takayasu let Onokatsu win? Zero resistance.
>>144339010He knew he lost from that position and didn't want to strain his body. He's clearly injured.
The top of Tobizaru's foot touches down first, but still a bad showing from Kotozakura. He should make easy work of the monkey man.
>>144339819>The top of Tobizaru's foot touches down firstNo it doesn't
>>144337316>atm he's the only Mongolian ever to reach Ozeki and drop back down instead of progressing to Yokozunabig asterisk on that
>>144339819>>144337434It wasn't shinitai and it wasn't the top of the foot; all of the papers are complaining about it. https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202409100000949.htmlhttps://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2024/09/10/kiji/20240910s00005000279000c.htmlhttps://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/261ac468f7f7f47be1b2992ece196ac6335dd74chttps://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/316238
>>144341484I should have clarified - also, Chiyotaikai in his capacity as head shinpan said: "Tobizaru's body went out first". Which is, of course, a complete lie.
>>144341516The second one explicitly says the judge ruled it a shinitai.It's bullshit, of course, but I don't think it's right to say "all of the papers are complaining about it."
>>144341588>土俵下まで跳ね飛ばされた翔猿が落ちるのより先に、琴桜が両手をついたようにも見えたが軍配は琴桜。That seems about as close as complaining as a Japanese newspaper is going to get.
>>144341738Fair enough. It's such a bummer. I used to really like Kotozakura but it seems like almost every basho now the judges hand him some bullshit win. It's hard to root for a guy like that.
>>144341820Does he have these often? I usually have to skip a day or two, maybe just missed the bad calls before
Chiyomaru on course for another possible return to juryo
>>144338512it's true, his pinky touchedthey resolved it very easily
Well, this is it for Takakeisho's career. 2nd best rikishi to never make Yokozuna after Kaio.4 Yusho, 8 Jun Yusho.Can he already open his new stable or will he be at his current one for 2 years?
>>144338348This is punishment for his fake matta and chest slap against Onosato day two. I think Tobi won, but I'm not sad that Zak was given the call.
>>144346061So you don't want fair matches.
>>144346150It's Tobizaru that doesn't want fair matches. This was his divine punishment. Not that it'll stop Onosato's 15-0 and promotion to Yokozuna.
>>144346187You're happy that a match had an unfair outcome just because it happened to someone you don't like. So, you don't want fair matches. If you wanted unfair matches you would've been upset at what Tobi did, and then upset again about what happened to him.
>>144346250Do you believe that people should be punished for their actions at all, anon?
>>144346275Irrelevant question. I'm just saying, you don't want fair matches.
Shirokuma broles...
>>144346420I do want fair matches, hence why I want unfair rikishi to be punished for their actions even if you could argue the punishment is unfair. If Tobizaru wasn't punished it could lead to more unfair matches happening in the future than this one shoddy call.
>>144346499Tobizaru wasn't punished, he was the victim of an unfair match. If you wanted fair matches, you'd find what happened to him bad as well. If you're okay with unfair matches happening as long as they serve some other purpose for you, then what you want ISN'T fair matches, it's whatever the other thing is.You can want whatever you want, but you very plainly don't want fair matches. If that bothers you, reconsider how you think.
>>144346532People like you are why criminals get away with so much shit.
>>144346554You're getting mad at me for telling you something about you yourself that you've stated clearly. If you wanted fair matches, you'd be upset about two unfair matches happening. You're not, you're only upset about one of them. Therefore you don't want fair matches. You want whichever mix of fair and unfair matches satisfies whatever you view to be "justice".You can want that if you want, but personally I just want the fairest matches possible. Not going to reply further because I think you need to sort your feelings out yourself. Have a nice day, anon.
>>144346428I keked at this last night they seem to really like shirokuma
>>144346652Zak won :)
>>144347159Shirokuma needs to change his mawashi colour to white like Atamifuji's. It'd jump his popularity.
>>144347770I like the blue it reminds me of Ice he's the polar bear
Easy clap
>>144336637Well, I think it went both ways a bit. Hakuho really wanted to be accepted by the Japanese and he just wasn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XApsMOJyB9UIn this, for example, when Kisenosato beats him for the first time and all the fans do the "Banzai" cheer, I think that really, really hurt his feelings. After that, I don't think he cared so much about being accepted by them, and I couldn't blame him.
Monkey deserved to lose. He is a scoundrel who had the most embarrassing match on record... in Hakuhos final basho none the less. The shenanigans he pulled during that match should have gotten him kicked out of sumo.Meanwhile Kotazokura is the future of sumo we need. Onosucko is a retarded baby headed douche who needs to go back down to Jonidan where he belongs.
Anyone a webm of Kirishima v Atami bout? Was pretty silly.
>>144348993This might have been the wrong link, I didn't look at it before I pasted it
>>144348993He was accepted big time by rich celebrities. His retirement event was insane for how many big Japanese names there were. He wasn't accepted by the JSA, and while that lack of acceptance was for very good reasons (when you're a stablemaster, actually looking after your wrestlers is more important than rubbing elbows with rich supporters so you can get a stable built in fucking Ginza), it's also revealing the stark divide between the JSA and Japanese society at large.
>>144349100Yes but his retirement event also had overt Mongolian references and themes. I think he would have liked to have been more like a "Japanese" Yokozuna.
>>144302550>>144345023>2nd best rikishi to never make Yokozuna.Chiyotaikai clears Keisho for the 2nd spot.
>>144349131He was never going to want that with how important his dad was to him. If he wanted to be as Japanese as you think then he would've given up his Mongolian citizenship to become Japanese far earlier than he actually did, and would've likely been remembered far better after retirement. Instead he only did so after his father passed, which delayed his Japanese citizenship until after he had started getting reprimanded for his behaviour and his injuries, and his desire to stay on as yokozuna until the Olympics was motivated entirely by his father's wrestling history and Olympic medal.
>>144349253I am sure he spoke about it in the same video I mentioned before, I will have to find it.
>>144348997Tobizaru is hilarious and he's a good sport, despite his antics. I like him and think he's good for sumo.
There are rikishi I don't particularly care for based on their style.But deeming some rikishi as "unfair" is laughable. You'd swear some of these dude's had their dog fucked by [insert rikishi you hate here].>mfw people salty post in /sumo/
Return to monkeee
eeee
Sumo
Ik ook Tobi dood wat nou?
>>144348997Tobizaru impressed Hakuho so much that Hakuho used the same gameplan against Shodai.
>>144348993Wasn't he accepted?The thing about Kisenosato was that he was the underdog trying to bring up a fight against the GOAT. This is always popular.Think of the Giants beating the Patriots twice.
>>144349813very honest reaction when woman
>>144349253>>144349281>>144350801I did have the right video after allHere, same link but timestamped to the stuff I was talking abouthttps://youtu.be/XApsMOJyB9U?t=1576
>>144348993>>144349100>>144349131>>144349253While he might not have fully integrated, Hakuho is definitely appreciative and grateful towards the Japanese people. Just not the elders in charge.
>>144326835>this is honorabru sumo unironicallySumo has never been honorabru. It's always been window dressing that only dense retards and tourists believe in. Tobi did nothing wrong.
>>144337381midnight sumo on twitch runs 24/7 during the tournament, live then replays until the next day starts. The replay of makuuchi starts around 9-ish EST>babbling gaijin twitchfagmute button exists nerd, use it
>>1443520569am* EST
Enho won his 2nd match. Everyone from Futagoyama lost because the stable sucks.
My lil enho fella coming BACK
Kototebakari has absolutely blasted that Hohol 2.0
My muscle manlet, nooo
I miss those 4 bashos when Hakuoho was the most exciting rikishi by far.Nowadays he's not THAT GUY. Though, I still think he'll go very far.
>>144320215>>144320674he is struggling though
>>144353699He would be 4-0 too if he was facing shitters at the bottom of juryo like takerflukeji
Day 4: RajaI'm predicting Murray again for Day 5, and if not, Ross.
>>144353695He's just a little injured he doesn't need to kill himself getting back to the top division. The kids special not even in his prime yet.
Oh shit I haven't seen Kaisei in a bit.
Alot of cuties in the crowd tonight
Cute.
It's Hokutover
Holy shit, great fighting by Shirokuma.
Yasu could have won that by Hatakikomi if he was a little more smart about it.
>>144353971he looks like he'll be kyujo from tomorrow lol
I PISS and SHIT on Onokatsucaptcha: HATN
Russiabros...
No... Tom...
i know very little about the technical side of sumo, but i've watched a decent bit of what i guess are highlights and love how pure of a sport it is, as a mma/muay thai enthusiast.I would love to see it live sometime, what would be the best time to travel to japan and see a basho?
>>144354086Autumn usually has nice weather and few tourists.
>>144354086Bashos happen on every odd month (January, March, etc.). You'd need to plan at least two months in advance because tickets sell out quick.
Really skillful jump there. Nice job.
Uragod > Wakafraud (the worse brother)
UrACK
I was going to comment but Ura lost.
>>144354130Fuck, that's cringe.
That's a new one.
I think that sooner or later Gonoyama is going to pick up at least a JY as a dark horse.
double black belt
EXACTLY as planned.
Holy fucking shit, Shodai zensho incoming. This was the plan, wasn't it?
wtf shodai didnt even have 4-0 start as an ozeki, lmao
oho more like ohno
Oho got fucking manhandled, holy shit.
God damn.
Mita better win this with all the support he's getting.
Hirado just taking out the trash
They should hold a basho at Sapporo or okinawa
>drive 50 kids all the way to Tokyo to see their hero Mitakeumi>he loses in the most pathetic way possiblefuck
>>144354279okinawa is too far from mainland. I wonder why Sapporo never hosted honbasho. It's next to Aomori which produced great rikishi.
Based, fuck the shimpan for not calling a monoii yesterday.
Onosato is a bit jittery. He already feels the pressure of expectations.
these oyakata's are failing their wrestlers kirishitma does the same thing every night>take the charge>circle to the middleThey need to cut him off kickboxers do the same boring shit in mma
>He won? Reeg eet.
Am I the only person who finds Onosato boring as hell to watch? Seriously, every match of his brings to mind a kid getting in a shoving match.
Takanosho is only 29, what the hell
>>144354325One half of sumo is pushing and shoving. I don't understand what you mean. I don't know why you're watching sumo if you don't like shoving matches.
>>144354350I mean that every time I watch Onosato fight it reminds me of the time in high school when I saw this fat sped sped bull-rush another kid after getting insulted.
neph.....really bro????? really...
Fraudzeki Hoeshitryu!
KINO bout. Tobi needed that win.
>pulls>wins
Fuck help me cope, do you guys think atamifuji can get a winning score this time? I'm starting to lose hope
>>144353880Murray confirmed. I love being right.
>>144354450Minimal MK, like 2 previous bashos
>>144354325Onosato is a fantastic rikishi he can move so well for his size he can dance around the ring
>>144354450Hes mostly through the hard fights and beat one ozeki he can get kk if he doesn't choke
You know how technically the rikishi don't need to wait for the gyoji to give them the OK to start fighting? What if everyone had an agreement to just go after the first salt throw? And all the bouts in total take less than an hour? Wouldn't that be cool? Also, would it count as match fixing? Do you think they would get into trouble?
>>144354548After maybe the third time it happened, I’m sure they’d just tell the sweepers to stay up there until the timekeeper gives the signal.
Tobi is so based. Wish I was a sumo wrestler. I would prefer not to gain lots of weight, but it would be better than being a loser NEET who can't get no pussy.
Shodai zensho yusho???
Acanthosis nigricans is a medical sign characterised by brown-to-black, poorly defined, velvety hyperpigmentation of the skin.[1] It is usually found in body folds,[2] such as the posterior and lateral folds of the neck, the armpits, groin, navel, forehead and other areas.[1]It is associated with endocrine dysfunction, especially insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia, as seen in diabetes mellitus
>Horseshitryu
So this basho is a fight between Kirishima and Onosato for who gets Hoshoryu's Ozeki spot when he goes 5-10.
>>144354859onosato is the only one with a chance, maybe, but he would need like a 14-1kirishitma is back to just a normal ozeki run aka "33 in 3" since he failed to regained ozeki last tournament by not getting 10 wins

Takanosho - Onosato rematch tonight
collective record of mongols so far this 'sho:10-18
>>144357941Nabatame
>>144355876I've heard wind that Onosato's Ozeki discussion starts at 11-4 because he's rising so fast that they'd like to fast track him to Ozeki. At 12 a promotion is likely. At 13 it's all but guaranteed, especially if it comes with a Yusho. Not just new blood at the high ranks, but HONORABRU NIHONJIN BURADDO.Also what the fuck Atamifuji was completely outclassed. I know Zak is powerful but surely Atamifuji can't be THAT far behind him.
>>144361023Sumo has probably the most transparent and meritocratic promotion system in any sport in the world and yet you losers constantly allege racist conspiracies against foreigners.
>>144361023>I've heard wind that Onosato's Ozeki discussion starts at 11-4No way. Even if he gets a 15-0 next, having an Ozeki run with a 9-6 in it is pretty bad, right? What's the lowest KK that's ever been part of a successful Ozeki run?
>>144361122There's valid arguments that his 9-6 was because of the sudden flood of media attention his Yusho brought that interfered with his psyche and training, though whether an Ozeki should be suffering from that is another question. I could certainly understand the JSA being desperate for new talent considering the dry spell since Hakuho left and wanting to put their faith into him.
>>144361023>he's rising so fast that they'd like to fast track him to OzekiSumo has always been the opposite of this. If he's borderline then they will delay him a basho, especially because of how many recent flameouts there have been.
Ura got robbed yesterday in the mono ii.
>>144361639Foot touched out
>>144361232He is the disciple of Kisenosato after all, it's not strange the JSA would show him some favor
>>144361113> yet you losers constantly allege racist conspiracies against foreigners.Yep, losers are prone to seeing conspiracies around every corner because they're inferior people who are incapable of admitting that they play any part in their own conditions. They're always losing and always blaming everyone but themselves, which is what keeps them as losers and prevents them from engaging in the self improvement they sorely need to dig themselves out of the holes they've driven themselves into. Chris is a fine example of this, he was born into the British upper crust and failed to establish himself, fled the country in shame and now is in Japan screeching constantly about his perceived, but completely fictitious and imaginary bias crimes. Onosato's run so far has been stellar, of the 25 wins he has put up, 2 are against yokozuna, 4 against ozeki and large amount of the remainder are against other sanyaku. And before anyone starts in with >b-b-but he lost to an m4they don't care about the losses, its only the wins that factored. Its doesn't looks like he is going to the favor of getting promoted with 32 wins anyway, he is 4-0 so he only needs 8-3 in his remaining bouts to get to 33.
>4 wins KotozakuraKirishimaOnosatoShodai>3 wins HiradoumiWakatakakageChuranoumiEndoNishikigiTakarafujiPersonally I think Onosato will probably take the Yusho, although I would much prefer it if Kotozakura won.
>>144361122>having an Ozeki run with a 9-6 in it is pretty bad, right?We had one recently.
>>144363031but his other kk was 13-2 which would balance a 9-6
>>144363126And Onosato has a 12-3 yusho. What's your point?
>>144361122We have a guy with an 8-7 KK ozeki run on the banzuke RIGHT NOW.
>>144361122>having an Ozeki run with a 9-6 in it is pretty bad, right?I dunno, Hakuho turned out pretty okay.Out of the 32 successful ozeki runs in the Heisei and Reiwa eras (both of Teru's counted separately of coruse), 12 of them had a 9-6 or 8-7 somewhere in them, including 3 of the 10 yokozuna (4 if you count Teru's first run).
>>144363166That he should get at least 12 this time for a definite Ozeki chance.
I've always hated Takakeisho so this is kino.
Enho now 3-0. He looks substantially more muscular than he did in July.

I hate watching Hakuoho. He just depresses me. Guy is young and had potential but he really might as well retire and do something else while he's young. Whatever shoulder injury he had was a career ender. He'll never go further than juryo
Damn, big 'Shoma is on fire.
