Second for Maonishiki
Abi will summon the evil spirits and be in the Yusho race.
Onosato will win the yusho
Will Hoshoryu at least get to week 2 before dropping out this time? Probably not.
>>150756908He must. It's no longer at the point where they can just handwave his little booboos. It's becoming embarrassing for the NSK and for everyone. Hosh absolutely must put up a 10+ win performance.
>>150757020If Kisenosato's Yokozuna tenure is anything to go by, Hoshoryu still has a long time before the JSA would even begin to think about his retirement.
>>150757070Apples and oranges. Bad comparison.
>>150757070Kisenosato was Japanese and as such had the backing of very influential Japanese donors to encourage him to keep going and ganbarize.
>>150757127And he also got promoted with 2 yusho. And in the face of vastly stiffer competition. He beat the yokozunas in his time. Hosh had ten (10) opportunities to fight Teru and didnt win even ONCE.
>>150757227Kisenosato wasn't promoted with two yusho. Having to rely on a jun-yusho is one of the reasons people say the JSA gave him a pity promotion.
>>150757227He wasn't promoted on two yusho, he got his second on his yokozuna debut. Which is still impressive because it means he got two yusho in a row and part of why they gave him leeway. But he severely fucked up not properly recovering from his initial injury and going a year and a half trying to heal on the dohyo like an idiot.
Total Zoomer Death
>>150757267>>150757323Oh okSo how many yusho has Hosh won then
In hindsight I should've made the thread poll about how many wins Koga will get.
>>150757796Onosato will have 1 pull maximum because if he does it again Kisenosato will break out the golf club.
>>1507577962-5 record seems to be his level
is Koga heading to be the new Moriurara?
>>150758329I think Soga will get there first. His back is absolutely fucked.
>>150757374Takayasu is a Millenial, dummy.
>>150759139Total Zoomer Death*
>>150759226Tom with his bad back is going to put up double digit losses and be pushed back to mid maegashira where he belongs. Its absolutely cringe having a septuagenarian in the joi
>Tamawashi is Irish because his shikona sounds like Tom o'Washi XDDDYou have to go back.
>>150759774You don't get to decide who is and isn't Irish, they're independent now.
so... which meagashitter is gonna win it this time?
>>150759962I'm feeling Fujinokawa.
>>150759962>FujinokawaHas looked really strong in practice, especially against Hoshoryu.>AsakoryuLooked really desperate to win last basho, even resorting to henkas. Plus 3 of the new sekitori are from his beya including his brother. Guy's gonna be super driven.>MidorifujiJoked that he's going to 15-0 this basho. Evil spirits heard him say that.You will have a muscle manlet Maegashira champion and you WILL be happy.
I need this basho to start already so I can take my mind off of real life
HOHOHAHAEVIL SPIRITS WILL PREVAIL
>>150761050Standing by.
>Abi is an evil spirit!!!Absolute brainlet take. If you've ever seen him perform shiko you'd know he's one of our greatest weapons AGAINST the evil spirits. Not only that, but his willingness to pull out whatever kimarite is required to defeat his opponent demonstrates his pure sumo spirit.Go jerk off to Kinbozan you blatant evil spirit lover.
>>150762827Sometimes you fight fire with fire pun intended
Kusano Ozeki soon.
The 2nd most recent oyakata slop features boss Shikoroyama, lots of good material there for Abi appreciaters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6P3P647yfA
>>150762998At least a year away. If WTK doesn't get it this basho, and Aonishiki doesn't get it in November, then fuck knows who'll ever get it in the future because no one's really pushing for it.
>>150763193Yeah, but Oho's pulling for it.
>>150762998Not sold on him yet, new guys can often take maegashira by surprise until they reach the upper part of the rankings and start fighting the same group over and over again, the new guy gets figured out and becomes an easy win for the vets. I can still see that possibly happening to Dan, this is going to be his first basho where he won't have the element of surprise on his side. Kusano only beat one established high ranking vet in July and that was KiriSHITma in the midst of his collapse over the last 5 days.
upon completion of this basho, aonishiki will have qualified for elder stock and those who have devoted the past year or so screeching angrily about his success will be fated to be tortured by his presence in professional sumo as both a competitor and an official for the next half century.
>>150756680Here's mine.>>150759691>>150759962That's just the state of sumo we're in right now. A third of all naegashira yusho since '58 were won in the last 6 years. Not Tamawashi's fault the new gen isn't coming around fast enough.>>150763251Topkek.>>150763327Both he and his oyakata are crafty, but he does appear to overthink when push comes to shove. Hope he can make it as another techincian in the joi would be kino.
KOGAsatoKOGAryuKOGAzakuraWakatakaKOGAKOGAshimaKOGAyasuAonishkiSomeone explain to me how we have one 1 real sanyaku member.
>>150767432We have 7.
It begins.
Around what time EST does the top division start?
Alternative sumo scoring system:Dominating victory: 3 points for a win in which the victor does not touch down or leave the ringStandard victory: 2 pointsMonoii victory: 1 point
>>150768941ESTimated in about 10 hours
>>15076894102:30, I think. Abema coverage says it starts at 15:30 Tokyo time.
>>150768988No.
For me it is the Abi Masatora, the best meagashira wrestler around
another basho for the yokozuna, mostly hoshoryu, to disgrace themselves
#hosh-redemption-basho
>>150771261I hope so.
>>150771261Ive given Hosh a lot of shit the last year and deservedly soBut I would unironically like him to dominate one time Show me the blood of the uncleThat's all I ask
Not even out of Jonidan and we've got a stretcher incoming.
>>150771858He fell flat backward probably knocked his own brains out on the floor Weren't any fans to cushion it This is why they practice tumbling
Hmm collar and backboard out Could be spinal
>>150771963Gyoji dodged and gave him a concussion
>>150771963Looked like he landed mostly on his back to me, but still very hard and on the unpadded part. Big ouchie.
>>150772004His hands were moving at least.
Injured fellow is Matsugashima
Kyoda of Futagoyama up soonPersonally I think he's gonna blow it
Fubu By themFor them
>>150772244This, but the opposite.
>>150772323He's gonna suck it?
>>150772354No, he's going to win and then take one in the eye.
Alright kyoda you defied my expectations for now
Im not interested in the remainder of jonidan Will be back for some of sandanme
What was that? Did the gyoji just forget the names and bounce?
Oh, he lost his voice.
Dan Jr is rocketing up the rankings. Will sandnme be able to contain him?
>>150772936Aoiyama = DanAoinishiki = Dan jrHikarumusashi = Dan III
>>150756639HOCKEY OI BITCHES!
>>150772007>paragoy
>>150772936lol
its Dan Jr over
>>150772936>>150774267i'm sorry, but he has such poor sportsmanship; notice how he tried to fucking grab chiyotaiyo's neck
>>150774547Huh? I just rewatched the match 4 times. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Gyoji fell.
Futagoyama boys are 6-1 through Sandanme.
>>150775045who has a link to the video of all the gyoji falls
Yamatooo!!
>>150775045missionary
What a shitshow, lol.
>>150777009
>>150759774It was always mildly amusing, you're the one who has to go back Nigel
>>150771843He needs to dominate at least two basho in a row to truly justify his promotion.
>>150777740I heard you mom likes to get dominated by big muscular guys. Sometimes 15 in at a time.
>Leodickinmyson>MidnightschlomoI hate these options. Youtube it is
mudho is never making it back into silk
>>150778348I don't see why its so difficult to just stream abema without spicing it up with extra faggotry, but so many faggots seem incapable of doing just that.
Bitchman on now
boss ajigawa looking good there in the shrimpman seat
>>150778348karla is on kick
takarafuji has enough tape on him to cover a mummy.
>>150779013And it was for nothingProbably took him an hour to tape up Old soldier needs to retire
>>150779041one more MK should do it, might even get his hair cut before he goes completely bald.
>>150778990Oh its Karla_Japan and not _sumo
Mita up soonI trust he can handle Kagayaki Most of these juryo guys feel like they're barely there now that the big fish have moved up
What's the kyujo list for this basho?
>>150779317>>150778990Ah, nice.
>>150779490M12e Takerufuji (Isegahama) - Nagoya Basho Day 13J3e Endo (Oitekaze) - start of Nagoya BashoMs7w Mitoryu (Nishikido) - Nagoya Basho Day 5Ms8e Nabatame (Futagoyama) - start of Nagoya BashoMs15w Oshoryu (Naruto)Ms25w Kobayashi (Kasugano) Nagoya sandanme yusho winner
>>150779490>What's the kyujo list for this basho?
Im not gonna make itGonna have to watch tomorrow like a chump
>>150779544Thanks.>>150779587Sup mutt behind vpn.
>KOGAyaki
Kagayaki has fought 92 basho and earned absolutely no distinctions whatsoever. He is sumo soul.
>>150779784Just taking it one day at a time while doing his style of sumo
Kotozakura's new keshomawashi is fucking hideous.
I miss him
This is cool though.
'sato's shiko is much better than it used to be. The foot sliding could still use some work.
>>150779939I fucking hate whoever put the gunbai on my beautiful edit.
>>150779962Why? It's better.
is forevercove not streaming anymore? I need the tasteful NHK overlays and camera angles.
Glad to be back
>>150779959I was about to say the same thing, he is looking less stiff now
>>150779959I was thinking the exact opposite.
Keshomawashi peaked here
Day 1: a very tired looking Wakanohana
Time for Sumo.
>>150780043fact.you hear about the remake coming out in 2026? looks like shit
>>150780075I don't recognize it
>>150780043Maybe Kisenosato should have aspired to be more like Kenshiro than Raoh who actually got shit done
>>150780043anime is for faggots
Stunto has become cyborg
Oh god.
>>150780130Stay mad
>>150780130And watching naked fat men slap the piss out of each other isn't? Lmao
>>150780161No.
>>150780140why
Shishi's on his way to juryo.
>>150780137Sumo is now hip and modern!
kek, the juryo win came pretty fast for the bingo
>>150780170So we can see what Wakanohana is demonstrating from a POV angle.
mark shishi twerk and loss to juryo
Is it just me or did they not show the commentators and fuck around as much on Abema like 2-3 years ago? I got so used to watching Makuuchi on NHK, I don't remember it being this bad
>>150780200
>>150780178he's gonna get 7-8 again and will still stay in
>>150780200They are appealing to zoomers. A lot of them, despite sumo being labeled as dying out for almost all it's history are afraid it is dying out.
?????????WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING
How many times can one man spin?!?!
>three spins>wins
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ICHINOJOC H I /m y b r o /
>>150780287Shame. The NHK atmosphere is much more focused... the ambient sound is very clear and the B-roll shots are tasteful.also nice spin2win monkey moment
He fights like he doesn't know that he's 6'4 and 190kg.
lmao, i guess shonannoumi still has no motivation to win
It is a good trick
Monkeys spinning monkeys
>>150780200They are trying new things to make the stream more interesting. Wakanohana manhandling stunto to show why the wrestler won is very good addition. Of course some of the things won't work but thats life
>>150780354Yeah, but his opponent can fly.
>abrma action can catching the moment stuntman got his tit gingerly squeezed in high definitionI can't stop laughing irl
Shonanoumi is a fucking elephant
That was almost really embarrassing for Shodai.
>jerking his hand mockingly toward his crotchAbema has gone from check to check plus, this is hysterical
TOTAL ZOOMER DEATH
GREAT Eisho begins his farmed yusho
Midorifuji zensho yusho!
Midori keeps the manlet dream alive
Midnight is a huge faggot
Nicely done by Ura.
>>150780738water;wet
>>150780745T. Midnight
>>150780780Your an idiot.
>>150780780saying midnight is a faggot is like saying water is wet
>SAY!>MY!>NAME!
>>150780790He probably got banned for saying dumb shit and now the little dindu is here. lol.
>>150780789>>150780790You can't hide, Midnight
>>150780805midnight would be infinitely more watchable if he just didn't fucking complain for 30 minutes about some redditoid saying some genuinely retarded shit.If he just made fun of them THEN banned them, and never said anything about it afterward, it would be much more watchable.>>150780809picrel
There are now both Abema and NHK sourced streams on kick, if you still watch the furry then that's on you
Kuso...
Kusa... no.
Kusano? More like GUSANO!
kuso no
Takanosho always seems just happy to be there, sometimes going 10-5, sometimes 5-10, always smiling
>>150780884I feel bad for the guy. He came so close.
>this is a yusho winner
I hate Kotoshoho so much...
>>150780965Just goes to prove how much of a clown Basho the last one really was.
I love Kotoshoho so much...
Welcome back, Kotoshitho.
>Yusho hangover is a thing>Yusho hangover isn't a thing>Yusho hangover is a thingYou are here>Yusho hangover isn't a thing>Yusho hangover is a thing
I hate Gonoyama so much...
Do we believe?
>the last of the fighting nerds got heemed in ufc>crawford put on a legendary pillowtap performance against a lazy canelo>sumo is on and i havent missed the first day this timetoday is a good day, i might break out a box of darts just for fun
>>150781054>Lazy CaneloHis name is Takayasu show some respect!
i believe in atomic's revenge
Atami has been doing pretty well recently. I wonder what changed.
It's over
>>150781120Teru's disappointed glare keeps him awake at night after every loss
>>150781149How can you tell he's awake if his eyes are always shut?
Kirishima Ozeki soon, this time surely.
>>150781185I hope so....
>>150781185he just needs a 14-1doable
>>150781185Say it again this never gets old
Oof....waka, not like this
wakaKWABakage
:(
It's over before it even began
Say it with me: Ozeki Wakat-ACK
HOLY HAKUOHO KINO!!!
Explosive Sumo.
Just go 11-4 bro, how hard can it be
can we mark weak sanyaku already?
>>150780833Midnight’s content is so lazy sumo is waiting for a streamer to make actual content and I’m the one.
>>150781260Not yet.
>>150781267The only content I want to see is the broadcast. You are nothing.
How did hakuoho get the nickname beast of the reiwa era?
Can you feel the henka coming?
>>150781277Good thing you’re just one faggot on 4chan
>>150781281started as Ms10. Went 7-0 and straight to Juryo. Also have you seen how thick his body is? Also Hakuho dicksuckers dicksuck his recruits.
>>150775696Kek, are these all the same ref?
>>150781292It’s a badass nickname everyone jumped off the bandwagon after he hurt his shoulder
REMOVED
Kotozakura being offensive is a good sign
are we back?
ACK with a solid performance on day 1. Interesting.
>>150781290And you are?
Zakbros we are so BACK
>Aonishiki promoted to Sanyaku>Immediately the evil spirits lose their power>Abi is defeated by *sigh* KotozakuraIt really makes you think...
Kinboshi kino incoming.
What are those? Every basho someone has these
>>150781337Succ marks.
>>150781313Yea he didn’t do his usual stall and hope they get tired
>>150781337Cupping marks. Google it.
>>150781337Cucking marks. Google it.
>>150781337Sucking marks. Google it.
I can smell the 9th kinboshi coming
Sloppy sumo lmao
ahahhaha he almost fucked that up
Slippy H
Very bad Sumo.
Sadly no kinboshi today
>Tamawashi wins>He still losesThey don't want to pay more kinboshi, they're going to give Hoshoryu free wins.
>>150781400Tamawashi is so old he just always counts as shini-tai
No chance
ggs
useless
Overpowered.
>goes forward>winshow many matches till he forgets this simple rule to victory?
I don't understand why he thought that would work.
Where are you guys watching the tournament? First working link I found was the twitch stream but I find his constant menstrual cycle whining intolerable.>oooo, if you don't respect the sport you might be around here for very long>english only, I need to protect everyone from words I can't even read>uh oh, you did an oopsie>we don't appreciate conspiracy theories hereI can't stand women who are constantly wagging fingers at anything with more levity than an episode of mr. rogers, and doubly so for feminized hugboxing men.Well I guess it's almost over, but for tomorrow.
Overall good Sumo this day 1.Promising Basho.
that kensho money could have funded a whole drone fleet for the ukrainian army. damn
>>150781453s0desune on kick
>>150781453VPN+Abema you stupid /pol/tard dindu nuffin' cunt.
>>150781453It's your own faggot fault for using the chat. Dumb faggot.
>>150781453Sumo family is good if you don’t want commentary
>>150781467I'm not using the chat, he's the one bleating about it.
>>150781453nobody wants to share their good sources because people report them and they get taken down. I don't know why the faggot doesn't get taken down.
>>150781495Because he's actually providing transformative commentary over the top. The ones that don't get taken down.
>>150781536>Because he's actually providing transformative commentary over the top.yeah ok, I guess if he transforms it into dogshit it's still transforming it
>>150781536The vast majority I've heard has been blogging or talking about chat, with worse-than-nothing commentary on the actual matches/sumotori.
>>150781536Transformative that’s hilarious
>>150781549>itEh whatever. Best English-language coverage I've found so far although I'm starting to need commentary less and less so maybe a VPN with Abema live is the way to go soon. In terms of Twitch sumo streamers, QueenBee is skreetchy woman shit and LeonDickhole is just not very good at commentary. Dunno if anyone else is worthwhile.Is NHK's live coverage only day 1, 8, 15 or do they have a PPV channel that covers entire basho?
>>150781585Leo has pretty interesting factoids I didn’t like him at first but being a dad now he’s pretty chill
>>150781601He has a kid? Sounds about 16 years old damn.
We could still end the year with 3 Yokozuna.
>>150781603>zakkers actually believe that
We got a battle of the sloppa beyas today, neat.
>>150781635Sloppa wars has begun
>>150781536Nah, he's found a connection on Twitch or something. That shit wouldn't pass fair use. >>150781585That would be this - >>150781461>>150781249Yeah... To be fair, Hakuoho has been getting better lately, what with the win over Onosato and all, but I think 11 is a very long shot now regardless.
Holy fuck there's no way that Tobizaru v Shonannoumi match wasn't rigged. No fucking way. Shonannoumi had ZERO interest in winning that.
>>150781601Leo is chill but everytime he has that yugoslav or whatever as cohost I simply have to clock out, dude's too insufferable.
>>150781727Thanks I'll give that a whirl tomorrow. Shame there's no VOD (but I think nobody does for obvious reasons)
>>150781919the worst thing is that his microphone is complete fucking ass and on top of that he's set way too loud. with a 30€ mic he'd still be annoying but more tolerable
Did not expect to get one the very first match.
>>150780196I'm not checking the twerk until he does it the way he used to. That was WEAK!
>>150783358The all time record box is basically a free space since every day Tamawashi re-sets the new all time record for most consecutive bouts.
>>150783523You could say Papa already
>>150783545Nah, Atami is good and Takayasu has a bad back. I wouldn't even say 6-9 was a true choke for him. Nice to see that Teru's disappointed glare training is finally kicking in for Atami.
>Hoshoryu has learned to weaponise trippingNo one is safe
>slippishoryuyeah it's looking shaky for himhe luckily managed to hold his balance but that was one misstep from another kniboshi
>>150784556Desu a torinaoshi wouldn't have been a bad call.
>>150784629I was screaming for it. Tom was ROBBED!
>>150763697Death to khokhols
>>150784556that step with his left leg after he tripped was insane, he leaped it like 1 meter across while he was basically falling
Who would win in fight Onosato or Naoya Inoue?
Is Mita the manlet to believe in?
Oh shit! There is sumo?!
>>150787164Second Sunday of every odd numbered month.
>>150785208What kind of fight?
>>150789055I always forgot.
>>150787164Ozumowoaru!
the fuck was the nigerian eating between july and this basho? he isn't skinny anymore. He must've put on 10+ kg
>>150791114It's about fucking time.
I hope that if Tenrosei makes it to sekitori that he changes his shikona to -shoryu just to honour his Yokozuna family. Tenshoryu sounds great.
All of the special prize snowflakes from July lost
>>150792198>Hoshoryu is present>Stamps out the evil spirits>All the shitters loseHUH???
Shukun-ACKKanto-ACKYushACK
>>150789656Street fight
>>150793043Probably the fighter then. Onosato is a soft college boy.
>>150793338>Who just happens to weigh 400lbs and be covered in muscle
>>150793463It's not the size of the dog in the fight, Neville. It's the size of the fight in the dog. Onosato doesn't have the mindset for a street fight.
>>150793702Imagine thinking you'd stand a chance against someone like Onosato in a street fight. Do you think he'd just cower away the moment you displayed any form of aggression?
>>150793854>YouRead the fucking thread if you're going to jump in, Neville. The question was about a fucking world champion boxer.
>>150791114This nigga is eating his rice. Good for him
>>150793950I'm sorry Anon, but the best bantamweight that ever lived would get eaten alive by a man the size of Onosato (who is also a top-class combat sport athlete).
>>150794302Nonsense. He'd pick him apart with liver shots.
Hosh is still slippy. Maybe he needs shoes.
>>150794485He needs a more gonosen no tachiai rather than just the spear he usually employs. Most of his losses are when he overextends himself right away.
Horseshitryu lost and everyone knows it.
>>150795665I don't.
disappointed in the aonishiki vs onosato match. aonishiki clearly got fucked by the timing of the tachiai and I don't feel like I saw his best performance because of it. although I respect that's part of the match and he lost it.
>>150795822It was clean, he just tried to go straight at him again. Hopefully he learns the lesson he should have learned last time.
>>150796007nah look at the start, he jerks forward and then has to reset. surely threw his timing off.
>>150796068that was his own fault, should've just trusted his instincts and gone for it, there is no penalty for a matta
>>150796068Nah, I get that. But still. There was no excuse for trying to go straight into a guy who has 50 kilos on you.
BALL GAME
>>150797596Derp. Wrong thread.
>>150797596bengals or patriots?
>>150792307
Evil spirits abound
>>150795822Nah it was fine. Aonishiki was trying to get as fast of a start as possible to undercut Onosato's sheer momentum. It just goes to show that even the highest IQ rikishi has no real gameplan in the face of Onosato's brute force.
>>150798826is that Dewi fujin?
>>150798826
Why does Wakanohana look like he is 70?
>>150800928He really doesn't.
>>150797813Patriots, lol. Game sealing sack.
>>150798826Isn't that the same lady that sometimes comes with the helmet hair?
>>150796515Henkas don't work against Onosato. Someone should make a reel of that basho when like three different rikishi tried and he eventually lost to Wakatakakage who took him head on.
>>150802523Doesn't have to be a full henka to not meet a guy head on. Hit-and-shift that shit.
Beast of Reiwa bros??? Is it our time???
My Eagles won, now I need WTK to get some wins.
>>150804465As long as Oho doesn't remember that he's supposed to push, you should be fine.
>>150804617How has Oho remained in the joi for so long? He's the most confusing rikishi to watch. His pushing game looks mediocre, his belt game looks mediocre. Half the time it's like I'm watching Kinbozan flail around ineffectively and yet here he is wallowing around at upper Maegashira with the gall to hold the title of "former sekiwake" because everyone else was so bad for two seconds that he fell upwards into a rank he didn't deserve.
>>150804718He's gotten a lot of banzuke luck with 7-8 and 6-9 scores.
>>150804907Nigga's got nothing on Roga. Two consecutive 7-8s at M15w with no demotion, then a 7-8 at M8e with no demotion. It took until his 4th 7-8 for that record to earn him a demotion.
>>150804718Oho will go 2-13 and his two wins will be kinboshi
>>150805068Honestly this is the most Oho outcome imaginable.
>>150793702>Onosato doesn't have the mindset for a street fight.Rikishi regularly blow off throat attacks, slaps to the neck and back of head, eat head butts from charging 300 lb men, and do breakfalls on clay as hard as cement. They're among the toughest motherfuckers on the planet. A streetfight isn't shit to those guys.
>>150805643He was a college wrestler. The only way he wins is if he has a sake bottle handy to shove up his own ass.
Sumo site is down. Did Takahara win?
Moriurara lost... I don't think his performance this basho will honor the dead horse.
>>150805934Takahara lost, but Kikuchi won... lol
Ah!
Alright I've finished watching day onePretty good sumo all around, I enjoyed it>Shishi blowing it again>Whatever the fuck Tobizaru and Shonnanoumi were doing>predictable Daieisho win>Zak looking in good form, happy to see that>Hosh managed to look like he was going to lose but the leg snatch was a nice move>Onosato bulldozing Aonishiki (lmao)
Helluva spinning throw by Urutora. Shame it didn't work.
what a fucking recovery
Helluva spinning throw by Shunta. Shame it didn't work.
>>150805896Tuli was a career makushitter. Not a good example.
Always nice to see tomokaze back my first tournament was when he blew out his fucking knee
>>150809015Neither is that. It's a street fight, remember? Inoue will be wearing normal pants and shoes, while Onosato is in traditional Japanese dress. A great striker with great footowork will dominate an oaf wearing the living room curtains, no matter how tough or strong he is.
>>150809400>traditional Japanese dress>wearing the living room curtainsIt's a robe, not a burka. Not hard to move in at all.
>>150809897Okay. Put one on and go get into a fight.
>>150809918ok done
>>150810061Sorry, I should have said put on 20 or so lbs to get up to Onosatos weight, then wear one and also fight a STREET FIGHT not a fucking duel.
>>150785208Inoue fights at 122 lbs. Onosato fights at 421 lbs.For reference, here is former 125 lb MMA champion Demetrius Johnson and 145 lb featherweight contender Cub Swanson against a random lower division guy.
>>150810172Street fight, not shoving match. Inoue has 27 knockouts in his career. I've been watching Onosato for years. I've never seen him display anything that made me think, man this guy is really good at avoiding punches to the chin.
>>150810199>Street fight, not shoving match.>Inoue has 27 knockouts in his career.Against men weighing 108-122lbs in non-street fights.
>>150810258And Onosato has zero knockouts in any form. Nor as far as I know, any striking training whatsoever. It's just plain silly to think he's going to have a magic chin out of nowhere.
>>150810293>It's just plain silly to think he's going to have a magic chin out of nowhere.His chin is from having a 300lb weight advantage. Being able to knock out flyweights doesn't mean Inoue's power is going to scale to super heavyweights. Otherwise, why doesn't Inoue knockout Usyk?
>>150804718Body of a yokozuna, mind of a makushita
>>150809400Yeah but it's a street fight so the rikishi has a Bike, he has become unstoppable as it is the ultimate weapon in the hands of a strong japanese man.
>>150810401Being fat didn't save all the guys that Hakuho heemed.
>>150810401Inoue's precision scales when Onosato has no training at avoiding strikes. >>150810465This is the only correct answer. I kneel. >>150810543Miyogiryu was smaller than Hakuho, sadly.
so if a foreigner goes to this can he request a chair instead of the pillow?
>>150810566The upper tier is chairs, gaijin.
Off the dohyo head first, lol. Popped right up.
>>150805068How can he get kinboshi if he's been sekiwake before? I thought once someone was sekiwake/komusubi/ozeki they couldn't get kinboshi ever again?
>>150810543Hakuho is a 350lb man. Inoue is not.>>150810562>Onosato has no training at avoiding strikes.Onosato has a major reach advantage and could simply push Inoue into oncoming traffic before Inoue gets close enough to touch him.
>>150810876No, kinboshi is for any maegashira regardless of what they were before. Shodai got a kinboshi like a year after he dropped out of ozeki.
>>150810876Anybody at maegashira can get kinboshi. You have to actively be a sanyaku for it to not count.
>>150810904Wild, ok, thank you
Terunofuji never got a kinboshi.
>>150811038neither did horseryu or onosato
>>150811072Yes, but there were 3/4 Yokozuna for Terunofuji to beat and he had to come up through Maegashira twice. That's absurd.
Man thats worn ass mawashi on Tenshoho
what a throw
ACK!-anoyama
they really purged all the youtube streams except two annoying ones
I keep thinking Kazukeno is Gonoyama
>>150811308It's easier in person, because Gonoyama smells like the underside of the bridge I assume he lives under.
>>150811283karla_japan on kick
Those yobidashi clothes look comfy.

I don't like Hatsuyamas attitude
>Onosato vs AbiI'm going to have to buy popcorn.
>>150811372Ability got stuffed by Zak. Onosato won't have any trouble.
>>150811386Abi*
>>150811386We'll see.
>>150811511serial killer eyes
>>150811537
>>150811554jesas...
>>150811556His next victim.
Onosato vs abi will be exciting, abi can pull wild shit out of his ass when he's in the mood.
>>150802548That don't work either Onosato has better lateral movement than the entire makuuchi.
Day 2: Otake and Kumagatani
>>150811715I hope you're being ironic.
>>150811771Walk laterallyWin It's how he always does it
>>150811791... he wins by walking sideways?
>>150811807大の蟹
>>150811771Nah, he's up there. Maybe hyperbolic to call him the best, but for his size, he manuevers excellently, More importantly, he does so well enough that circling isn't a viable strategy. We've seen smaller wrestlers try, sometimes even with a belt grip. He can shut that down very easily. Point is, Aonishiki didn't strategize wrong. He executed wrong.
Is there a japanese fanclub for Shonannoumi too? I wonder how they feel seeing him lose like this
Pretty sure Roga got that.
>>150811870I see what you're saying, but preventing someone from moving laterally on you isn't quite the same as lateral movement. And I just can't disagree more about Aonishiki. There is absolutely nothing he can do facing Onosato head on. There is no possible execution where he wins that battle.
Yup. Saw that coming.
>>150811887>preventing someone from moving laterally on you isn't quite the same as lateral movementTrue, my bad.Again, check out how he loses. It's not to spinnies. Aonishiki was probably hoping to secure a grip for a throw after surviving the tachiai. When you have someone with a reach advantage, you go in, not stay away.
Nicely done by Ura. Good Sumo.
Now that was sumo and just fat fucks shoving each other
>>150811919All true, but I think he's stuck trying to go for the two-handed grip he likes. That's not going to work at his size. That's why I say hit-and-shift.Oh well... it's all theoretical until November.
Blood for the salt gods.
Ku-shit-o
>>150812005NHK dude is saying he had a fever and was bed ridden for 4 days in the last month so he didn't get his practice in
KEKACKNOPE
Kotobros run the damn game
Bridge troll = banished.
again?

Pretty sure that arm touched.
His arm touched I think, would be pretty unlucky since it was a very nice pull down
>TorinaoshiFair.
Rematch is the right call.
Hairsplitting
atami is out of gas
Good call.
that was a clean uchimusou, aonishiki was the aggressor, atamin fell hopelessly... whatever.
>>150812097You're just hangry because you haven't had any katsu lately.
Not a dan dick rider but I think he won that
HOLY DIAMOND BACK
ROFL
11-4 bros we're so fucking back
This white boy is good
Both bouts were pretty good, Atami certainly improved his balance
Say his name>Ozeki Wakatakakage
Did Onosato have arm tape yesterday?
>>150812133Good thing Oho doesn't care for ozeki contenders, I guess its only yokozuna for him.Unfortunately, he said he would change his shikona in case he got it.
Boy I sure hope Abi doesn't false start into a henka again
kiriSHITmabros??? our response???
>>150812163>our response?You're gay.
>>150812163Kirishimabros eating well
>>150812169So stylish...
>>150812169That robe of his looks stupid. The wolf is just slapped onto his legs with no care for design.
WE ARE SO KOTOBACKURA
ACKuohobros...
Another solid performance from ACK. Maybe this is finally the basho where he makes the comeback.
So back it hurts kotobros
Damn... almost.
NODOW...ACK!
Does that count as a panic pull?
Get fucked Tamawashi.Very dishonorable Sumo.
Damn, looked good for a moment
>>150812221How have you been here this long and still don't get it?
>>150812226Nodowa is very dishonorable.
The only thing I can say about this matchup is thank the gods Takayasu isn't a Maegashira.
>>150812230Nodowa always has been and always will be a legitimate part of sumo.
>>150812235So has the henka. And both are very dishonorable.
>>150812237That's wrong and gay.
Nicely done.
Light work
>>150812235Just ignore the Portugal flag, I don't think I have seen him make a singular post that was worth reading.
Looked solid from Hosh. When's the last time our top 3 all looked good?
Hosh has his number now
Good Sumo this day 2.
Actual yokozuna performance, good shit
Kinboshibros... not like this...
Non-clown basho?!
>>150812268Too early to tell, but it's looking like a good one.
Good sumo day 2, day 3 matches look spicy too with revitalized zack vs aonisihiki
This is going to be a good basho I can feel it
>>150812272aonishiki will resume farming uchimuso wins

>>150812310what the fuck are you on about
>>150812332Just let him have this before our government bans all internet access
>>150812338Kek, God damn our governments suck ass
Koutokuzan's matta against Tsurigishou in Juryo was the kawaiiest shit.
Aonishiki cant farm wins with uchimuso only and Atamifuji showed that
>>150812511>The leg karate chopping will continue until morale improves
Why do I cheer for WTK? Heh, it's simple. If he makes Ozeki it removes the M18e slot and means Shishi can't survive on 7-8 again.
HAHABETTER LUCK NEXT TIME FATSO
>>150813073I remain convinced that Aonishiki's uchimuso gameplan is still fine and it's just Atamifuji's sheer bulk that gave him trouble today. If you aren't aware, Atami recently overtook Onosato as being the heaviest in Makuuchi.
>>150813317M1 makekoshi is looking pretty good since they're both 0-2.
>>150813317oshoma had his nose bleed from the tachi ai impact
>>150813874Completely missed that! I was wondering why he made that face.
I judge a basho not by how much the yokozuna are winning, but by how much Abi is losing.
>>150814235Yes, unless he is 9-6 it's a shit basho.
Just need a tsuridashi and some Atami rage and I win. I'm pretty sure Ura was actually attempting a tsuridashi today against Midori but just didn't have the height for it plus Midori's belt came loose. The new all time record was Tamawashi breaking the record for most consecutive bouts ;)
Reminder that Hokuseiho existed and people said he would be the next yokozuna. LMAO
>>150814599How could we forget?
still sweating
>>150814644it's so uncanny seeing him thin
>>150814644Who kid is that?
>>150814644His metabolism must be in total chaos
>>150814644>body slims down via loss of fat and muscle>head size defined mainly by bone, stays proportional to when he was 400lbsvery odd looking person
There needs to be a competing governing body for Sumo. The Japan Sumo Association keeps the sport too insular.
Everyone talked about Daieisho being able to farm lower maegashira because of his large and presumably temporary loss of rank, same people all overlooked the possibility of 2-0bizaru doing it
>>150813234I don't think Atami gained weight, Onosato just lost weight and didn't get it back.
The fact that Onosato became immune to nodowa is incredible. If he stops going backwards and pulling, he will be invincible.And the San'yaku is performing very well, we could see like 5 double digits this tournament (if Hoshoryu finishes).
>>150815034It remains to be seen if he can overpower everyone, he only beat Hakuoho by pulling. And he only pulls because Hakuoho always gets the better of him at the Tachiai.What I'm saying is, I expect another Hakuoho kinboshi.
>>150815034Onosato wasn't doing anything much while the nodowa was active, and was getting pushed backwards, but Tamawashi seemed like he didn't have the reach or the footwork to keep the pressure on until Onosato was fully out. As soon as Tamawashi's hand came off, it was all over.
calling it now, 11-4 Kotozakura yusho!
>>150815034>winner will marry daughter>hehe, fat man go boom>I wish I was at home watching Evangelion 12

>>150813234>I remain convinced that Aonishiki's uchimuso gameplan is still fineI hope he keeps it just because it's so unique. One of the few people with an actual brand of sumo, not some generic yorikiri slop.
>>150815399I'd say around half of the top guys and even mid table guys have a brand, even if they don't always do it. It's just a shame Hiradoumi stopped fighting like a wild dog. When he was up at Komusubi his fighting spirit was incredible.
>>150815399>yorikirisloppleb. mawashi chest to chest battles are peak sumo
>>150815692>t. Ryuden
Fuck, I'm late to the basho (once again)Did I miss any good -ACKs ? it's only day 2-ish after all
>>150816315I heard someone in a low division got seriously hurt. So far Makuuchi has zero clownery.
>>150816315Tobizaru vs Shonannoumi is a must-watch but other than that, it's been uneventful in the top division.
>>150816939Atamin v Dan was a hell of a thing too.
>>150817006He was asking for ACKs, that match was good.
>>150817027wakas first bout was -ACK worthy
>>150817048It was meh. He just forgot that Hakuoho is the Beast of Reiwa and can drive like Onosato when he wants to.
