>>151394404He hosts strongman competitions so it figures.
I hope Murray Johnson is there
The people right near the ring are risking it aren't they.

>>151394451Holy shit is that Hiro from Sumo Prime Time!!!! BIG FAN!!!!!!
Abi Road
Special shiko? Is that the reason why Kotoeiho is in London? Because lord knows that man can shiko.
>>151394451Neat that we get to see them lay down the padding. Looks extra thick this year.
>>151394494Kusano went kyujo last second. I don't know why they didn't bring Daiseizan but I've heard it was visa issues, so Kotoeiho is in.
i dont care about fat chinks bumping into each other
>>151394525Imagine if Asanoyama had made the cut. Imagine all the British slags he'd have been banging for the last three days.
HIT ME HIT ME HIT ME
>>151394550There is still enough time for him to make it to the Paris tournament.
>>151394526then fuck off from the thread. I hope your grandpa choked on some nazi dick to make sure he survived to beget one of your parents
Audio fucked?
my ears....
>>151394592Hiro is haunting the audio.
Evilspirits bros? We managed to nuke the audio. This tournament is ours.
Small indie association please understand.
channel.rakuten.co.jpAudio is working on the Japanese stream.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0-AhtIsQbUWorking audio.
The BBC has it on their website & on the Red Button: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/cdr61pdxp7dt
Haven't noticed any bad audio on the iPlayer.
>>151394673Just seems to be dazn that shit the bed.
>>151394657And now it's fucked...
Audio is bad on Pluto too...
Dan is wearing some gay shit on his keshomawashi
Ura still wins the clap war, with Tamawashi and Dan doing well too.
Will take more than that to drive away evil spirits in London.
Ma! There's tubbies on the telly!
Is it just me or is Onosato more fit than he was compared to lets say.. in may?
Would have been epic if they got craig charles to do commentery
People in the front row sitting cross legged. Their knees will not be cut out for this
>>151394757Are they, dare I say, telly tubbies?
>>151394789I would just be expecting Takeshi Kitano to appear then
>>151394790I can't sit like that for very long.
Uhhh do you think they have a comedy-sized wheelchair ready just in case?
>>151394473Does this only work from Britain? It does nothing here.
>>151394824They do have one of those but they probably didn't bring it it as I doubt anyone will get hurt. These bouts will be more like exhibition ones than actual tournament fights.
Imagine wearing a face mask in the front fucking row. I hope Gonoyama lands on her so she can learn a lesson in risk assessment.
If there is not a chant of you fell over this country is doomed
>>151394884There were two of them, should crush the fuckers
>>151394870You can watch here on YouTube:>>151394658
Zak's dad is there at least.
>>151394904Doing it!
Hiro says London like how L O N D O N is spelled.
I hope they brought in rikinojo to deafen the bongs.
That was some lift
>>151394931It's a shame Kimura Kankuro is stil a Juryo gyoji.
TSURIDASHI
Lol, definitely fixed bouts. Oh well.
>>151394957Yeah I was expecting more serious fights than that.
Unsurprisingly then this will be half assed wrestling
Me on the left
>>151394975Half assed fights will only harm sumo's reputation desu.
>>151394967Perhaps it was just because it was the Juryo matchup? Hopefully it gets a bit better as we get towards san'yaku.
It didnt look fixed. They probably agreed to spice in some kimarite if they get to an urecoverable position.
TSURIDASHI x2
Just lift me out bro
Already more tsuredashi than the last entire tournament
Has shishi ever won with tsuridashi in his life?
>>151394824It's the UK they probably have those already.
>>151394999We didn't get a single one last basho and we're now 2 for 2.
reminder that ryuden is /ourguy/
Ura is for certain going to be pulling out some 0.004% used kimarite
Should we have moved this to /pw/ instead?

At least we can be sure no-one will get injured for november. Unless the dreaded elbow crisps show up again.
Yeah Tobizaru seems like the one who could get into this kind of clownshow
If I didn't know Shonannoumi was a retard, that would have looked extra bad against... "Tobiazru"

What does Aonishiki's 11-4 translate to in a 5 day tournament?
>>1513951454-1
Someone do a fucking matta so Hiro has something to talk about.

it's over...
>>1513951453-2 but both losses are torinaoshi.
Give us some oshitaoshi and yoritaoshi already.
>What if we made our advertising worse than the real product?
The weak acting in these fixed matches makes the boys look a lot less athletic than they come off in the real matches

>>151395212The last few fights have been okay. Certainly better than the clownshow first 2-3.
too many evil spirits in london. the dohyo is overwhelmed, it's finally over.
>>151395194It really does. It's a shame, but at the same time, kinda makes me glad to see how much more real the real thing is, you know?

>>151395273Mochi mochi mochiron!
>>151395223It's just jungyo sumo, I wasn't expecting anything but I still feel bad for some of the people who paid their tickets for this.
Please tell me that they’ve shipped in Murray too to cover days 2 to 5.
>>151395295I'd take Japanese commentary over Hiro's English.
Is it going to be a fix the entire 4 day event?
>>1513953065, and probably.
>>151395295Hiro was sent by the JSA to cover the tour. Japanese representation.>>151395306Why would it be any different? Nothing's at stake.
i like seeing them in london with their clothes and hair and stuffit reminds me of what foreign travellers would have looked like before we were all globalised and homogenous
>>151395287>pay to see jungyo sumo>see jungyo sumo
>>151395287Eh, I expected it to be jungyo, but I wanted to see Tamawashi and some other old timers one more time live, since I am not sure when I will have the chance to go to japan again. At least some of the bouts looked real.
>>151395295I'll take Wakanohana and the ABEMA commentator over this.
>>151395357
>>151395357Wakanohana weekend matches are the absolute peak of sumo commentary
I don't watch sumo usually, what makes this a fix? Isn't that dishonorabru
>>151395322It's also obviously a diplomatic mission and event to strengthen relationships between the countries.
I'm going to Japan on saturday and watch hoping to watch some sumo but looks like I just missed it
>>151395378They're fighting nowhere near for real, which means for sure that Onosato and Hoshoryu will 4-0. Whether they'll fight for real on the last day we can only hope.
>>151395378its probably not fixed but theyre not going in 100% and let the opponent throw them or lift them up when they feel like they already lost or dont want to risk injury.
>>151395378They want to avoid injuries since this tournament does not have an influence on the ranking. Also probably want to avoid the ranking system looking trash by having a clown (mini)basho
>>151395380kek

Long enough interval? Fuck's sake.
Giant haystacks would have mogged these guys
>>151395391>>151395396>>151395404I see thanks>>151395430I'll be gone by then unfortunately. I might still take a look around the stables but it looks like a bit of a meme
>>151395438It feels like they scheduled for normal duration bouts, but forgot that 1. there are no banners 2. nobody gives a shit so it's all going lightning speed so now you have a 30 min piss break
It's kind of sad they're advertising a sport like this that you can only watch legally in the uk via 30 minute highlights on the nhk channel on YouTube
>>151395464Not really, just this event. Swing by Arashio stable in the morning. They have a big window so the public can watch from outside.
>>151395485Should've brought back Hokuseiho to extend the average match length.
>>151395492They probably want you to visitjapan.com.
>>151395492You're dumb.
>>151395504Bashos are hard to get tickets for so it's not like the average tourist can get to go.
>>151395492fuck are you on about lad
>>151395495Thank you mate I'll take a look
Coming back on
RIKINOJO IS HERE
DAZN is kill.
>>151395571It's still on yt
>>151395485>1. there are no bannersNot so fast!
I think that was the weakest match so far.
>Takanosho doesn't ever go for the belt>Oh he just didThese fights are lame.
>>151395623Really? Looked fine to me.
>>151395623The tsuridashi are automatically the worst matches. It just sucks seeing guys go against their established style, even in exhibitions. We won't get a single nodowa.
Ichiyamamoto should be popular in the UK since he is gay
Finland bro?? fine ill do it myself
Even Hiro is falling asleep now
>>151395661He won though.
>>151395661Uhhh anon? Onokatsu won.

Best fight yet.
that was a good match until that gay tsuridashi
No way they let Aonishiki lose
>>151395767I'm fine with it because it didn't win the match in a comical way.
>>151395783He's not even trying for the belt LOL... whoa.. okay.
lol of course UCHI MUSO MAN
Not gonna lie, I basedfaced.
The man just can't stop with the uchimuso
Aonishiki is a good actor.
Le hecking Other... man
abi will play the heel. henka incoming
"After all, why shouldn't I pull the leg?"
GO ABBY
This shitshow might be the only chance to see Kotoeiho v Abi shiko-off.
Sounds like the crowd is buying the act, but from the conversations around me this is the first exposure to sumo for most people
>>151395866they'll cut to the roof cam
Some of these bouts feel borderline scripted or like a sparring session
>>151395871Well most of these matches aren't so bad. If you know what to look for then it's obviously off, but for sumo virgins I can see why they would buy it.
lol they're just going for the lift every time.
did any unsuspecting londoners in the front row get crushed yet
>>151395890(me)That one was facepalm worthy though
Kirishima had to have his match scripted just to stand a chance against future yokozuna Taiho II
>>151395916Nah. No one has really gone off the dohyo yet.
WakatakaOHO
>>151395916No because they aren't falling off the dohyo. It's LAME.
Imagine if Tom gets injured here. That'd be some truly evil spirit work
>>151395937wakatakaKOGA gets no respect
>>151395721>A mattaCheck.
MATTAMATTA SPOTTED
>>151395721First matta and first nodawa.
>>151395968>>151395973Tamawashi said fuck it I'm fighting for real.
>humiliating wakatakakage after his failed ozeki bidGrim
was that a shoot or is wakatakaKOGA so disrespected that his was the only sanyaku scripted to lose?
No way they have a Yokozuna losing on the first day
>>151395982He's the only oshi user who actually stuck with his gameplan the whole way all day
>>151395952Shut up I am enjoying it.
bongs cant be bothered to print hosh shikona in kanji lmao
>>151395994Look you fucker there's two mask cucks in the front row who need a lesson in risk assessment and they aren't going to get it because everyone's fighting like a BITCH.
They Jap in the knit hat that looks like a nipple is in the front section. I wonder who he is. He's at all the tourneys
Ura will do a double backflip while flying off the dohyo
Ura with no knee braces?
Ura will get yeeted into the back-row.
>>151396043Has anyone worn tape? Takeru's elbow was done up, but other than that I don't remember any. I don't even think Daieisho has his signature fingers taped together.
All the Yobidashi in dark colors looks very strange.
>>151396060I think Kotoeiho did, but I could be misremembering.
lol
And the furthest distance from the dohyo award goes to Onosato.
Slide to the left! Slide to the right!
>>151396060Now that you mention it abi did not have his elbows wrapped up either
Crowd seem to enjoy it so we cool
YOISHO
hiradoumi v gonoyama was definitely the best bout today
Any and all tsuridashi matches were lame, but the better fights were good. Kirishima's tachiai looked real and Tamawashi was having none of this scripted bullshit.
That was fun. See you tomorrow, everyone!
I can't tell if it was Ura's circus act skills or not but the way he slid back like a dragonball character when onosato shoved was really cool
>>151396234It was some classic Ura
>>151396267god he is fun to watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbMUycix9gs&t=355sI definitely heard two "uma" there.
>>151396433hard to believe those street hotdogs would be うまい but i suppose you dont get to be a sumo by being picky with food
>>151396480You'd be surprised on how good cheap street vendor food can be.
>yelling old men during the dohyo-iri Even London can't escape them. I bet Paris will have them too.
>>151396433Just dudes being dudes
Dan absolutely destroyed horseSHITryu at the Aki basho a few weeks ago
I only started seriously following sumo like 5 months ago but I'm glad to see London sold out and broadcasting arranged for it.

So weird seeing all these gaijin ringside.
>sumo rules are very simplemy sides
>>151406451They're not gaijin if they're in their home country.
(i dont really watch sumo) i read its the first time in london since the 90s but do they have it in other countries than japan sometimes?
>>151406476Everyone who isn't Japanese is a gaijin, especially in Gaijin Land.
>>151406483It's apprently only their second time outside of Japan ever, London on both occasions.
>>151406470They are, the most complicated shit is the dead body rule and only because people make it more complicated than it actually is. It's one of the main draws for me: after all the rituals, the actual action is simple and fast.
>>151406476LOL
>>151406470Try reading the ruleset for Boxing or MMA and say that again.
>>151406483>>151406512For a tournament, but not for events. Chiyonofuji did the yokozuna dohyoiri in Madison Square Garden for a little jungyo style event for example. They've had little things in many countries.
They went to las vegas once

If you ever doubted they weren't fighting for real.
These two sure practiced their shikos
Mark my words, on day 5 Tobi will spin FOUR times!
Much more variety this time, glad they got an agent to sit down and make sure they didn't all have the same finish.
>>151406990about that
The fights are getting lame again.
>>151407005Stop being so picky. That was fine.
Tokihayate hansoku.
GET CRUSHED
Finally, into the audience
That guy in the audience must be really happy right now
>shonnanoumi finally tries to win>it's in a koen match
I'd only feel I got my money's worth if a sumo man clattered into me.
>>151406909Yeah seems to be a little bit better today. Upped from about 20% effort to 50%
This reminds me of when I first got into MMA, and made sure to watch some fights that were known to be fixed, so I could learn to tell the difference. Is this at all similar to pre-2011 sumo?
I think Shonannoumi actually just wanted to win that one. We finally got a fatso in the crowd, but I think the head shinpan just doesn't have a mic so they can't monoii.
>>151407064too much pressure from the redditors crying
>>151407069No. This is more like jungyo.
>>151407077Bruh if the JSA wants gaijin to take sumo seriously they need better fights. See? Takeru fought way harder than day one there.
Hakuho knocking someone out got me into Sumo, they should do that more
>>151407099Myogiryu. If you're going to be a cunt about it you might as well remember the name.
any of you lads dreamed of becoming a sumo?
>>151407109I like the idea of being able to fully devote myself to a discipline without having to worry about money.
How would he fair?
>>151407109no you cant become a sport
>>151407118It's spelled "fare" you fucking ESL.
>>151407109No, I didn't get into sumo until I was already in my 30s.
>>151407109Have you ever dreamed of becoming a golf?
HENKA WHEN ????
>>151407129>you fucking ESL.But I'm English
>>151407136Would be devastating if the crowd didn't get to see one considering none of these plebs even know it's a thing.
>>151407140That makes it worse, Neville.
>>151407140Then why can't you speak English?
LOL What was that?!
>>151407119>>151407131相撲 is an abbreviation of 相撲取り
>Ura failed the kataguruma...;_;
I don't think the crowd can appreciate what Ura was showing them there.
>>151407154No.
missed the tsutaezori?
Love Ura
>>151407118I'm actually curious how much his lost pinky would hamper hi performance, maybe it balances out with the baki-tier physique?
I just know that in the Street Fighter series, E. Honda is an annoying twat.
I have never seen that, holy shit
I just caught up, and these matches are looking more serious than yesterdays. Not quite full steam, but these have much more energy to them.
>>151407160
any cute asians about?
>>151407167He's almost always quite low tier. I never struggled with him in USF4 because Balrog's light dash push always punishes any non-EX flying headbutt. You're likely just very bad at Street Fighter.>>151407168Because going under your opponent's armpit has only happened 5 times in the last 25 years. Ura was 4 of them.

>>151407201Sumo is not an abbreviation for sumotori.
>>151407176Seen some waiting at the exit yesterday, but its mostly hags (not that I mind)
>>151407207why does it say it is in the dictionary then
>>151407211Because it's a japanese dictionary.
>>151407218what
>>151407176
>>151407211nerd emoji ass post

>>151407228I look like this (after just 3 months of HRT!).
>>151407241If you want people to not get pissy, just use rikishi, faggot. It's not fucking hard.
>>151407228Japanese girls are the best and it's not even close
>>151407249im perfectly fine with you having an autistic melty
>>151407260Good. No.
Sumo "wrestler", yes/no?Personally, I've never liked it. Sumo has no relation to anything called wrestling in the west. It's like calling kendo "fencing".
>>151407280>Sumo has no relation to anything called wrestling in the westk
>>151407280>Sumo has no relation to anything called wrestling in the west.if that were the case people like Aonishiki who has a background in other forms of wrestling wouldn't do so well.
>>151407280I think it's okay, I like having synonyms to use and I don't think it is far fetched to call them wrestlers
>>151407280what has wrestling have to do with the west? folk wrestling exists everywhere
>>151407280its more like saying that both a kendo practitioner and a fencer are "swordsmen" or practice "sword-fighting"
>>151407388>>151407424A pair o' gays lol
Feels like I'm watching a Victorian period cross cultural trade relations exhibition
>>151407280Just because modern wrestling has a bunch of dumb Olympic rules doesn't mean they didn't get started as the same basic catch wrestling that every other form of wrestling did, including sumo.
I wonder why so many of them are using different mawashi colors from their usual.
Punished Ichiyamamoto is odd looking.
Do rikishi usually become a normal weight after they retire? Or do they stay fat forever? Or do they die before they reach retirement age?
Was this the first twist-down of the entire "bash" so far?
why is bro belt grappling
>>151407503Depends on the wrestler. For all of your questions, lol.
>>151407477This is basically what it is. Just a bit of fun and to secure closer cultural ties.
>>151407508Because none of them can seem to figure out how to make fake oshi look compelling.
>>151407292Dan does better than everyone else more because he is stronger than everyone else than because of his wrestling training. It was on display in the HorseSHITryu match, they both had throws lined up, but Dan was stronger so he was able to stifle Horse's throw and follow through with his own.
Louga
Bald eagle gunbai. Can't remember seeing that before.
>>151407526His ability to stay so low is absolutely from his wrestling practice. Hoshoryu is very strong but he lacks the same background Aonishiki has as far as I know.
Now those are some moobs.
gg Adamisu.
the london crowd almost got flashed
>>151407573
Finally a smiling tomato
is this whole show as cringe as WWE?
>most feared competitor>oho
>178 kgGood lord
>>151407604kek didnt notice why they were laughing at first
>>151407614Most of the time. The Sanyaku seemed fairly serious. Tamawashi straight up nodowa'd WTK when he clearly wasn't expecting it.
>>151407614You'd feel more culturally enriched watching this.
>>151407620Oho is the true Lord of Chaos. 5-10? 12-3JY? You decide!
>>151407614It passes the time just as well.
VAR needed.
MONII!!!
ERA
CHECK IT OFF THE BINGO BOARD BOYS
>>151395721>monoiione to go?
Rematch
Rematch.
the crowd is so cute
Looked like Oho lost to me, but bonus sumo is good too.
Corner turns on a torinaoshi? For what purpose?
lol. those weird little jumps from Hakuoho
Honestly, for a once in a career event like that, I'd go all in, fuck any kind of unspoken agreement or whatever they are doingIt's getting better tho
KINGBOZAN WITH THE ASASHORYU BELT SLAPS
>>151407718That's what happens.
Slip!
>tsukiotoshicowards
SLIPAWASHI
I didn't know Steven Gerrard took up sumo
>tamawashi
Tamawashedup was too intimidated by KINGbozan's Uncle belt slaps.
>drunken irishman
kazakustan
i like the name 高安
>>151407756It's his real name.
>>151407759No shikona, no cup.
>>151407759This is why he's cursed to never win a title or make yokozuna.
>>151407770But Shodai has a cup???
I always love a good series of hand slapping in sumo.
>>151407782And Wajima was a yokozuna. The rules aren't firm.
is aonishiki the evro self insert
Shishi will take the cup after Aonishiki beats Hosh again and Hakuoho beats Onosato
DAN WINS!
I think Aonishiki and Kirishima are playing for keeps, lads.
PLEASE BASED GOD LET ABI HENKA THIS
Hiro stroking it to Wakatakakage
Silly
>>151407844I wanted to see it so badly
Try saying Wakatakakage fast 10 times.
They promised Abi a lollipop if he didn't henka this basho.
>>151407869>We'll let you be John instead of Paul next time if you don't henka
>>151407864I'm stimming his name randomly sometimes so its pretty easy for me.
>>151407881kek
>>151407864I can't say it fast. I always say it like an air-raid siren. wwwwaaaaaaaAAAAAKATAKAGE!!!!!!
Today's matches are preformed a lot more in-character than yesterday's were
bin that knife
the seriousness of his doody
POLICE ON THE WAY TO ARREST HIM FOR CARRYING A KNIFE WITHOUT A LICENSE
Has he got a licence for that knife?
YOU WOULD HAVE TO COMMIT THE SUICIDE
Take your lifeUse that knife
we're all thinking it
mongs delivered.

>>151407950?
>>151407960Wow just like Shishi on day one of this basho...
Evil spirits btfo
SAYONARA!
Good stuff. See you again tomorrow, everyone
>>151394283The what now?
>>151395242He just couldn't stand the test of time...
>>151407280>Sumo has no relation to anything called wrestling in the west.
>>151396433Hoshoryu shares his hotdog with Onosato lol. Such a nice guy.
If they're doing matchups by record then it should be Onosato vs Takayasu & Horseryu vs Dan tomorrow, but I could see them matching the remaining undefeated lower sanyaku against joi level competition today to save the remaining sanyaku vs sanyaku matchups for day 4
>>151415687They wanna get a loss on all the non-Yokozuna so only one person can end on 5-0.>Captcha: YW0H0
>>151415663>sharing your hotdogLMAO WHAT A KEK
>>151407503
>>151407503It's the steroids that kill them desu.
>>151407503It really does depend. Some remain fat way after retirement, but some just go back to being overall big guys, Tochi for example.But I imagine if anything's taking them early, it would be heart complications? The sumo lifestyle isn't particularly kind to that aspect in the long run, is it
>>151395661I tried Japanese food so many times, it's just not that good. I tried to like it
I missed this, such a bummer. Will it ever come to London again?
>>1514193772059
>>151419410Kys
>Sumo in the afternoon to watch during work>Playoff Blue Jays baseball to watch in the evening>hockey is backLife is good, a/sp/ies.Aonishiki take my energy.>>151407503Yes.As other anons have said, it depends on the rikishi. Sumo wrestlers are actually the *good* kind of fat (yes, I know) during their career because it's mostly subcutaneous fat and they eat a generally healthy diet of lean meat, a lot of vegetables, and starches (chunko nabe, which is a perfect winter stew by the way), while also exercising a lot. The days of the extremely ripped rikishi (Chiyonofuji for example) are probably long gone, but even today, under that top layer of fat, rikishi are probably more fit than anyone in this thread.The problem with retirement comes with the loss of activity. Lots of sumo continue eating the way they used to but are no longer working out, so they then start developing visceral fat, which is the bad kind.As Romainanon said >>151418594, heart complications are a big thing for retired rikishi, so many of them do die in retirement of that.But some do get relatively fit and go on to live normal lives, often becoming stable managers (again, Chiyonofuji; though he ultimately died of cancer).
>>151419374It's okay. With that flag, you're not expected to understand flavor.
>>151420180>Hockey is back.>Life is good.FACTS
>>151421393Don't talk as if Japan isn't the culinary Britain of the far east.
>>151421413And it's STILL too complex for the palate of the Neville.
>>151421393>Used to sail halfway around the planet to bring in spices from the eastWe avoided your homeland of Africa because there was no flavour to be found there.
>>151421458And now the spices from the east sail halfway around the planet to shit in your streets, Sanjeev. >your homeland of AfricaGuaranteed I'm whiter than you, lol.
So do we think any important people will be in attendance on the last day? Imagine King Charles sat in the front row and Kinbozan breaking his hip landing on him.
>>151421510Banksy, but we'll only know he's been there because the dohyo will have a graffito on it.
Fuck it, the only matchup that looks interesting from the second half is the Onosato-Wakamotoharu one, I think I'll just leave after the first half and try to get a pic together with Atamin
>>151421612None of the zuna matches will be remotely interesting because the zunas being 4-0 is the entire script.
Day 3
>>151421619Imagine>guys with 0 losses are fed to each other until, according to the script, only the yokozuna remain>Aonishiki gets Onosato day 4 because they are afraid of Hoshoryu messing up against him and taking a loss>Onosato taking it easy because all of his matches are supposed to be free, then Aonishki rug pulls him>day 5 has to be Hoshoryu vs Aonishiki, it turns into a real match for the glory of sumo, but Aonishiki wins>he becomes a JSA pariah and they will take any chance to get him out for the honor of ozumoWould be a strange but somewhat plausible timeline, thanks for reading my fanfiction
>>1514218082/10
Kek, they messed up and gave everyone the day 1 schedule instead of day 3
I've started a new thread>>151422184
>>151421510I doubt Kinbo would be harmed all that much by landing on a 90 year old scrawny homosexual
