Starting!
I wonder how much salt they use in 15-day tournament in Japan. Oh if only someone would tell me how much (in kg/day preferably).
https://strawpoll.com/PbZqbkw6eyNhttps://strawpoll.com/PbZqbkw6eyNhttps://strawpoll.com/PbZqbkw6eyNTHREAD POLL
>>151422625Heard that it is about 600 kg for all fifteen days, but I could be mistaken. Let's hope Hiro will tell us tomorrow
Their dohyo-iri still fail to leave an impression. The frontloaded taiko still don't make sense. I miss them being timely. Would make it more comfy.
>>151422184LOOK OUT!
They gave it a yorikiri because even the announcer is sick of the tsuridashi spam.
>>151422625>>151422883Hiro said in Day 1 of this event, that they use roughly 40kgs of salt during a tournament. I would have expected more but Uras exist.
I think it was yorikiri because his foot hit the bale? Not sure. Looked like got lifted wiht one hand though, lol
>>151422876We're getting scammed
Can it be called a tsuridashi if the other guy jumps out, though?
>>151422919In their defense, whoever is doing the rope tying demonstration has to wear 15kg around their waist for an extra 10-15 minutes so I can understand being a little sloppy.
>>151422961You misheard. That was per day. Also, Neville was being sarcastic.
Don't submit your guess the banzuke until after the final matches on Sunday because the results of this competition will be taken into account in the next banzuke
TOBI HENKA INCOMING
shishi goes off script because his ape brain couldnt understand stimple instructions and finishes 5-0
>>151422984No, it was spinning. It's always spinning.
SPIN TO WIN
Words cannot describe how disappointed I am in that fight. If Tobi doesn't tell his opponent to henka him tomorrow I'll be really let down.
>>151422974That makes no sense. Isn't the other guy is doing the exact same thing, just backstage?
Flying monkey antics
LOL
>>151423005He can have it tied whenever, but the one doing the demonstration has to have it done much earlier than needed.
Well at least that looked like a proper tsuridashi, not a consensual one
No way, right after the flex
Tsuridashi #1.
>>151423028>much earlierHow do you figure?
The fights that almost look real are way better than clownridashi.
>>151423043Why do something earlier than it needs to be done, especially when it's physically draining to do so?
>>151423056No. I mean literally why do think it's being done earlier? I don't see how that could be the case.
Shodai testy.
>>151423050Are you sure about that? But maybe it's just shodai being shodai
I just want Daieisho to FUCKING SLAP SOMEONE.
>>151423089Oshi always looks bad in hanazumo.
Why wont they let the oshi guys do oshi? Just too risky? Could give them one, ffs.
>>151423111more injury risk perhaps
Lol at Ryuden looking over the shoulder to see which way was out of the ring.
fujinoKOGA
>>151423144... he won though?
>>151423153And so did Koga('s Yokozuna grandfather Mienoumi).
nishikigi starting off 0-3 is realistic af
guys need some acting lessons.
Tobi is going to try so hard for the audience award and Ura is still going to run away with it.
>>151423194You would think they get enough practice doing this kind of thing at Jungyo every year. It's odd
You know what they say about Ura bouts
>its not a pretty sightwtf hiro??
Kek
He did it!
I'm fairly certain Ura left his belt improperly tied just for that.
Ura is thriving in the clownshow
ura did the meme
>>151423229He was born in it, molded by it
Shonannoumi being Shonnanoumi or Ura being allowed to do an tsutaezori?
>>151423206Yeah, they spend more time doing this than actual practice bouts, yet they suck so hard at it.
I just want one Abi henka, please god, just one, please let it happen
it looks like mongs are the only ones fighting for real
>>151423258dishonoroboru
CLOWNSHOW !!!! thanX, Ura !
"If this basho is a clownshow, let me be the court jester."- Ura
>>151423241>Ura being allowed to do an tsutaezori
Only 1 tsuridashi so far! Two more to go!
>>151423582We had two but got scammed out of one.
Day 3 has been the worst so far. All we need now is a yokozuna slippiotoshi to fuck up the scheduling.
>>151423665that would be so fucking disappointing
fishlips really fell off after the yushotokushoryu tier
Urgh.
"Size doesn't mean much in Sumo." - Hiro Morita.
hiro gassing up kotoshoho as if hiradoumi winning was some great achievement lmao
>>151423717All the times he's repeated that so far is making me want to see Onosato yeet a fucker into the fifth row.
>>151423610I actually agree that was a yorikiri, weirdly enough.>>151423665That would be inadvertent kino.>>151423694Intai when?
Terao died in '23, not five or six years ago, lol
>abi>winning on the belt
>>151423749The Bongs would shit themselves if they witnessed Onosato's honbasho tachiai.
>>151423791That was just two years ago anon.
>>151423801I'm aware. Tell it to Hiro.
first wakatakaoho and now>ohoyama
based Abi winning the fake match
>>151423817Feels like it's been forever since he's won. Feels bad, man.
>>151423828I miss the flowchart bros...
Concession employee gave Ura a beer during his after match interview
Aonishkiiiii
THE WHITE FAT MAN RUMBLES ON
>>151423848
>>151423857Why does the pic on the left look like they applied the "hobo" filter?
I love how Hiro's every story is "I did X with a rikishi and I lost badly".
lol that's some spirit i guess, lol
>>151423900Hiro is such a derp he would lose a Hiro Morita lookalike contest.
CHADAYASU
Tamawashi and KiriSHITma have been the two best "real" fighters this "basho, so we might actually get a really good match here.
>>151423923Yup.
Laaaaaame.
Laaaaaaaaaame.
Is it over, WTbros? He still looks like crap, just like September.
wakatakaKOGA will never be ozeki
>>151424027It's not over until the last brother goes intai.
>>151424027Yeah, I don't think he just choked in September.But can Hosh slay the great Kinbozan?
Henka?
>>151424027>looks likeisjust a slightly oversized muscle manlet
>doing uncle hype moves in front of nephew
LOLLERSKATES
kinBOZO the shame of kazakhstan
Damn near broke Kinbozan's ankle to show off to the bongs
It's all so tiresome.
Damn, I was hoping to see him crush WMH like in September.
Shame no one is willing to yeet themselves out.
>>151424063https://youtu.be/AfTwOipWrdI?si=J9LlD4aUg87csF09Let me know when Aonishiki can do this, Danfag.
>>151424131Someone tell Tobi that the Royal Albert Hall already told the front row that you're there at your own risk.
>>151424144It's gonna be either him or Ura or no one at all. Fingers crossed, two days left.So, 1 tsuridashi and 2 close calls. Welp, I was a Holy Trinity chad, so I guess I lost.
>>151424131Midorifuji did the other day, but that was an accident. Tripped over the bales, lol.
>>151424135WakatakaKOGA has a career 37% winning percentage vs ozekis Dan has has a career 67% winning percentage vs ozekis WakatakaKOGA has a career 8% winning percentage vs yokozunas Dan has has a career 50% winning percentage vs yokozunas
>>151424526>Dan has has a career 50% winning percentage vs yokozunasAs in, he can only beat 50% of them, lol.
>>151424184>paraGOYdid they bring in Akua to do the bow twirling? he is the pro stage diver
>>151424535His winrate v zunas is probably higher than many actual zunas. No way K*senosato had over 50%.
>>151424561Apples to oranges, Neville. Kisenosato was in the makuuchi joi for like 10 years.
>>151424621>Yeah okay, you're right, but I don't like it, and here's why-
>>151424685You're an idiot. That decade contained Asashoryu and Hakuho. If you don't understand how comparing vastly different sample sizes is wrong, you're helpless. Peak Kisenosato would have raped Aonishiki.
>>151424854perhaps... I don't know
>>151424854>You're an idiot. That decade contained [Strong_Rikishi]
what a great time to have a shitload of green tea in the house
>>151425307>Yeah okay, you're right, but I don't like it, and here's why-
>>151426131Seethe.
I mean its pretty obvious they aren't going all that hard which is lame but thats ok Would be cool if there was some kind of upset
>Says something retarded>Get's pointed out to him how retarded it is>"HAHA YOU'RE JUST UPSET!"Why are Nevilles like this?
>Master, he's too strong! How can I possibly defeat him?>That's easy, son, just give 'em the laaaaaazy eye.
>>151428472shishi is a chad, now that his leg is healed he is kicking ass amongst the lower ranks
>>151432634Chad? Hell no. But there is a basedness to his retardedness.
Still no henka. What are they afraid of? That Londoners might see real sumo fights?
Everytime I watch someone from makuuchi landing their chest to a non-sekitori I am surprised by how big the difference is. Right now Shonannoumi is just effortlessly taking their charge and pushing them back in the middle of the ring.
hello
>>151442204Shonannoumi is the only person on the planet who doesn't realise he's the same size as Onosato.
>>151442640Yeah, I saw him walking on the street too today, it is insane how he is not upper maegashira by size alone.
>>151442594こんにちは
Day 4 starting in less than 5 minutes!https://www.youtube.com/live/7tvhACW9AeU?si=IwQNWMvSWVjGts3g
evening all
>>151443636Evening
>if you are an evil spirit you are in for a rough nightAre they calling us out, evilspirit bros?
>>151443673They're calling out the Londoners in the crowd
>>151443673I keep channeling power to Abi but he just keeps losing.
~kumi doko??
Hiro telling Hoshoryu to retire
Come to think of it, I've never watched any comic sumo. Where to start?
>>151444020>>151443358
This fucking Dora The Explorer shit.
>>151443673Evil spirit doubters will be taught a lesson after Hosh gets henka'd
Solid 'ohyo 'ri from 'oshoryu.
>>151437159Somebody tried one yesterday though, no? Can't remember who... maybe I dreamed it.
I'm glad Onosato learned how to bend his arms during his dohyo-iri claps. It took years of practice.
>>151444020Search YouTube for shokkiri 初っ切り
>>151443940>paraGOY
Commentator drunk today. Good on him.
Will Dan get promoted to ozeki if he goes 5-0 in London?
Can I get today's torikumi? The Royal Albert Hall website just refuses to work for me. Please and thank you.
Could be worse, it could've been a tsuridashi.
>>151444586No, they'll jump him straight to Yokozuna.
Shishi is a weapon now that his leg is healed. Look for double digits from him again in November
>>151444595they have revised the scripts and cut the tsuridashis by 50%they also will call them yorikiri if there is the slightest possibility or it sneaking byhowever to compensate and in spectacles sake Ura is gonna win by Gasshō-hineri
its over for nishikigi, even in fake matches he can't win. ppl talk about shonannoumi as a huge guy who somehow sucks despite overwhelming size but nishikigi is just as much of a waste if not more so
>>151444716Nah, Nishikigi's been fighting very injured for a while.
>>151444733Does his eyesight really count as an injury?
shonan the barbarian
>>151444733also blind
nishikigibros...
Nishikigi's also 35
>>151444593
Ryuden the hero of liberal feminism
>>151444828ty
asakoryu looks mad strong
ryuden not doing his gay hype ritual moves?
>>151444834I don't think you know what those words mean.
>>151444856I thought he did. I heard the crowd go "ooh".
>>151444841Everyone else is just as strong, but with 40kg of bodyfat on top too.
>>151444834???
>>151444886And about 6 inches of vertebrae
>>151444858I don't think you know who Ryuden is.
>>151444884Probably Asakoryu's flex.
>>151444884it looked like they went ooh on the manlet flexing his muscles
>>151444909I am familiar with the incident you're referring to, you're just retarded.
>>151444841>asakoryu looks mad short
>>151444911>>151444917Ah.
>>151444444I gots to know what it was
>Whoever gets pushed to the bales first will win.
>>151444949ryuden once performed 5 emergency near-full term abortions during a highway pile up and didn't charge anyone a dime.
Takeru was never good. He got a cheap yusho through a weak schedule.
>>151445000anon cracked the code
>>151445015What would he do with a dime?
taker is washed
>>151445028Or not...
Dan can win this if he goes off script against Onosato because Horseryu can't beat him no matter how hard he tries
>>151445072Or yes
WOW WAS THAT A TSURIDASHI???
HIRO STOP WITH THE FIGHTING SPIRIT
>bongs didnt cheer on ura's ritual
.....
>>151445142HOEH???
What a lift!
verging on full jungyo comic sumo
Fucking Ura man, can't love this guy enough
Ura-sama, I kneel…
>>151445199BAU BAU
everybody thinking they setting this to be a yokozuna duel on the final daymeanwhile they are setting it to be Ura vs HorseAnd ura will win with some roadrunner bullshit
kinBOZO
Kino
>>151445231Hosh will pick Ura up for a tsuridashi, but ura will flip right overhead and hit Nephew with a german suplex.
>>151445214aaaand we're there.
Kinbozo literally stopped and rotated instead of putting Fujiniokawa out of the ring
Kimbo looking at the gyoji lol
HAHAHAHAHA
ENOUGH WITH THE TORIDASHI
>size doesnt matterI want them to put some manlet against Onosato or Tamawashi.
>>151445309?
>>151445309
>>151445309hiro constantly shills the manlet winning in an upset angle as if seeing a manlet win is the greatest thrill in the sport, but i like sumo cause its a big man's sport and like to see the big guy dominate the manlet. the big guy put in a lifetime of effort to gain his superior size, he deserves to win, I don't see why anyone would ever root for a manlet, why would you rather identify with a little wimp instead of the big guy?
and other crazy rants from anon
>>151445422You're retarded.
I like the manlets, they bring some variety. I think most of Wakaikari/Fujinokawa bouts in the top 2 divisions are super fun because he fights like a mad man
>>151445512Agreed. It's fun.
>>151445422Seeing someone overcome the odds with sheer willpower is kino
>>151445422nah manletkino from guys like enho and recently fujinokawa is fun but hiro should stop shilling them so much
If you hate manlets you hate Ura. You wouldn't do that, right?
Have rikishi besides Onosato tried just walking forwards?
>>151445828they did and they get utchari'd
>>151445828Kitanoumi
>>151445646what about the lifetime of willpower required to end up as the larger competitor
ichiyamamoto is gay, he jacks off to wakatakakage
>>151446072you don't?
>>151446026... are you honestly saying you believe people's heights are self-determined?
>>151446072Half of makuuchi does.
>>151445684manlets occasionally winning is good only in that it makes it slightly unexpected when the big guy prevails
>>151446026That's admirable as well
Eat it.
>>151446091It kinda is. Im the tallest out of my siblings+cousins and I ate the most and was the most active during puberty.
>>151446091A good diet and general fitness will definitely get more height out of what your genes will allow.
>>151446175Perhaps being naturally tall made you eat the most and be more active?
>>151446179>>151446175Idiots.
>>151446091they are, genetics is just potential. manlets end up short because they're bitchly little children who refuse to eat and instead choose to have power struggles over food with their parents. thats why Napoleon complex is a thing, manlets end up as manlets because they are little bitches to begin with. meanwhile guys like onosato end up as the big guy because they were obedient children who ate what they were told instead of holding out for candy.
>>151446220You're a fucking retard. Go back to your containment board.
>>151446218you're a manlet and you don't want to admit that your midgetry was self inflicted. instead you want to play the victim and blame genetics
>>151446220Are you one of those faggots who think vegetables cause cancer?
>>151446261I am taller than the models show I should be. You're dumb.
>>151446215probably, but you still cant grow to your fullest if all you are doing is playing minecraft, eating snacks and skipping half of dinner during middle school
>>151446220enjoying how angry this trvke is making everyone
>>151446288>(((models)))
>>151446220You're retarded, anon
>>151446308I did none of those things and didn't anyway. You're wrong. Maybe your mom fucked around with a tall mailman.
>>151446315>I'm too dumb to do science, so I'll blame the Jews. Kill yourself, /pol/tard.
I can't decide if this height thing is just a prevalent bait or not. I ate a lot and did a lot of sports as a kid and still ended up almost the same height as my dad (he is 180, I am 184)
>>151446270>you're wrong because you think *retarded thought that I just invented to get angry over*you played yourself, enjoy your self inflicted emotional distress
>>151446347>Heh, I made a shitty bit of code full of incorrect assumptions, looks like I'm right ;)
>>151446354It's /pol/tard spam.
>>151446356So... yes?
>>151446354184 is substantially bigger than 180, many percentage points
>>151446365>a shitty bit of code full of incorrect assumptions... it's a statistical model from decades ago. You're fucking thick.
>>151446366what does nutrition affecting height have to do with /pol/you just sound insecure
seeing hiradoumi cheat at the tachiai and not get called for it was the most realistic thing I've seen so far
shut the fuck up, oho won
>>151446401I don't give a fuck what dark age priests told you that you didn't bother do double check yourself.
>muh soiyence!!
>>151446415Nutrition obviously affects height. That's not the issue. The problem is when fucktards like >>151446220 start saying it's your own fault for not feeding yourself properly when you're a child. That's just retarded nonsense that is typical /pol/speak.
>>151445422Takakeisho was fairly short and he was the 2nd best rikishi of the Terunofuji era. Would likely have made Yokozuna if not for injuring himself every time he won a yusho.
>>151446459your personality affects your actions and habits affects your nutrition affects your height simple
>>151446435It's basic biostats, mate. Go blow your hitler dolls.
>>151446458Kill youself, Christcuck.
>>151446490People do not will themselves into being tall.
guys did you know that hiro once challenged tamawashi and he threw hiro against a wall?
>>151446459>/pol/ is out to get me!!!>/pol/ is hiding around every corner!!!why are you even on 4chan if you're going to get triggered and spaz out over imaginary /pol/ every time someone posts anything you disagree with anywhere on the site?
>>151446542what is difficult about the logic for you to understand?
That was fun.
im sorry for starting this by talking about hiro's comment on manlets...
>>151446552I was here before /pol/, I'll be after /pol/. Go back.
Abi 1-3 and Kotoeiho 1-3, please britbongs give us the shiko off on day 5
>>151446556The fact that there isn't any. >>151446574You didn't. It's that same /pol/tard. He spams it often.
>>151446598ah but there is, see >>151446490
>>151446552Are you fucking retarded? The anon was literally responding to an idiot saying statistics were >muh Jews. He was literally responding to a /pol/tard thinking the exact thing you just posted, but about the Jews, lol. You're fucking dumb.
>>151446583I don't use 4chan outside of /sumo/, but I'm still not ignorant enough to realize that /n/ /new/ and 4chon.net all existed before /pol/ did. why do you seem to feel so entitled to be magically protected from opinions you disagree with simply by designating them /pol/? and why is it /pol/ to presume that childhood malnutrition results in shortness of height?
>Atami getting MK in a jungyo tournament tooNext year is his for sure
>okurinageWow, I've never seen that before!
>>151446648No. Not eating your dinner sometimes is not enough to explain why some are 5'8" and some are 6'4". That's just dumb.
>>151446696>why is it /pol/ to presume that childhood malnutrition results in shortness of height?It's not. It's /pol/ to think that childhood malnutrition is self-inflicted.
I like when the oshizumo wrestlers actually show oshizumo so the Tamawashi v Abi fight was good in my opinion.
how will dan lose? im predicting a throw from sato
>>151445828I try to forget about Gonoyama too, so I get it.
>>151446715This is the last time it happened in the top division.
>>151446717just because you cant jump over the moon doesnt mean you cant jump up a step or 2
>>151446459it is your own fault that you decided to chose to have power struggles over food and hold out for candy instead of eating what your parents told you to. that was your choice, you made it and now you have to live with it as a manlet until the day you're buried in an undersized coffin. enjoy
kiri-SHIT-ma
kirishimabros...
>uhhhh tobi you were supposed to lose
>>151446795Nice projection. None of that applies.
kiriSHITma has zero hinkaku with a tachiai like that, he deserved to lose
>>151446739>childhood malnutrition is self-inflictedit can be in part sometimes there is 1 kid out of 4 that is weird about food with the same upbringing and environment you could blame the parents not being more forceful but its still the childs personality in play
I bet Onosato will just walk forward and win
DAN! DAN! DAN!DAN WILL WIN!!
>>151446845Think about what you're saying. Do you think any of those cases went on to be professional athletes?
>>151446881firstly i accept your concession and yes sure you can change dramatically as you get older
I guess Takakeisho's father didn't want to give him enough food when he was a child or that Takakeisho was totally a rebellious kid.
>>151446862We got fucking Baba Yaga in the house.
>>151446898>i accept your concessionGo back to Redit. >and yes sure you can change dramatically as you get olderYou have no idea how bodies work.
good fight, dan looked like he was fighting for real. his AI is self-improving with every bout and he will crack onosato some time in the future
When is Abema going to get overhead cameras like this?
Dan would've won that if he'd eaten everything mommy served him in 2009
>>151446940pureezu andastandu sumooru indi kampani
>>151446940Never, NHK has cameras there though
I see they tried to re-create that one photo from 1991. They'll probably do it again with Oonsato tomorrow.
its going to be shit after all this isnt it

Nice.

Do sumotori pay the regular price for a plane ticket
>>151447416I imagine the NSK pays it.
>>151446965I don't understand why some people obsessively hate picky eaters. It boggles my mind that there are so many people ready to go on the warpath about someone not liking bell peppers.
>>151447533Narcissistic control freaks, likely.
>>151447418SOVL
>>151447416do you mean as in size? or do you mean if they have to pay for their travel expenses?Rikishi work for the japan sumo federation, they are employees. Participating on the basho is their job. The stables aren't private clubs like in soccer or nfl playing on an league operated by a governing entity.In professional sumo they work for that league (in the form of the japan sumo association).So this is a work event organized and paid for the JSAIf you meant "do they pay extra for their tickets because they are fat lmao" tehn i would assume so, i know there are several airlines contemplating increasing the price for bigger people, when/if that gets implemented i assume they would have to pay that extra fee. Probably not on such a high exposuure event as this as whatever airline flew them to london and back would cater to their needs
>>151447418SBdesignbros
Met Daieisho, Takerufuji, Wakamotoharu, and Shodai standing around for a smoke in front of their hotel today. Asked them for a photo in Japanese and Talk snatched my phone away and took a pic with Daieisho kabedoning in the background. I spilled my soba too hard to then also ask Tak for a pic. Still was a fun experience. They had a bit of a delinquent vibe. Felt a bit guilty for maybe bothering them but they didn’t seem to mind.
>>151447416>>151448614Yokozuna took first class (Zak would've too if he wasn't "injured") while all the other rikishi were business class, so none of them had to put up with tiny economy class seats.
>>151449152Except for Kusano wo appararently didn’t know he needed a passport. No clue if that’s true though
>>151448746And you didn't post the pic because.....?
>>151449152Dan was in first class
>>151449221>posting a pic of yourself on 4chan
>>151449285Anon's used to have guts.

>>151449414now he has gut and ths the reason he doesn't post ithe rivals shodai in girth in that picture but its all from beer and pickled eggs, he doesnt want to invite the mockery
>>151449518You're probably right.>>151449285This you?
>>151449567Shit, ya got me. This is me
Dan's physique becomes noticeably more Gagamaruesque on a week to week basis, I bet he is 5-10kg heavier in Kyushu than he was for Aki. Would be funny if he became so big and his arms so short that he morphed into the non-manlet version of Takakeisho. Imagine Keisho at over 180cm and over 210kg, he'd have been launching opponents into the upper deck
>>151453622>picrel
looks like we have an early start tomorrow
>>151453702>9amThank you for posting this or I would never have noticed.
>>151453945now you owe me bigtime
>>151454284Will this do?
JSA's twitter made an announcement for Endo's birthday, he is 35. He is also about to be demoted out of salary rank, will he retire or will he compete in makushita?
>>151457632Insta-intai. Guy has elder stock and kabu coming out the ass.
>>151457632>>151458649He's supposedly loaning it, might wait for the loanee to secure another.
>>151453702getting some extra time for the playoff matchesty
Only an hour left, do you think they will let Tobi beat Takayasu for a playoff?
The evil spirits told me that someone is getting a career-ruining owie today. But who?

I've been watching this intro on BBC iPlayer for the past 25 minutes, why is there a complete lack of activity in the thread?
>>151462562Because it's Hiro's same intro we've seen for 4 days now?>40kg of salt
>>151462562most ppl will be showing up in 5 hours
>>151462562I am just silently seething at the fat bitch in front of me for leaning out of her seat blocking my view
those kids in the front row are gonna be crushed flat
>>151462589Come on man, don't be this rude towards your own mother
bin that knoife, takayasu
>>151462580I only heard about this yesterday evening after highlights got recommended to me on YouTube, I didn't know they did the same thing every time, I thought it was special for the last day, sorry, I'm new.>>151462581Why? Is that when the finals are?
Ryuden will celebrate by going out to the nearest family planning clinic and buying abortions for everyone
Ever since Giku stepped down gaburi-yori stopped being a thing. Yorikiris just aint the same
What's with Asakoyru's shiko?
>Nishikigi being gifted a win but nearly stepping out anyway
>>151462562everyone in the usa is at church Sunday mornings
Sadanoumi? moar liek GLADanoumi
Shodaii <U<K€D!
The one-armed bandit wins!
>>151463044Only the closet fags.
>>151462797>Why? Is that when the finals are?No, because that's when all the other days started, dummy.
First time ever watching, I did a little bit of Googling so I could be wrong but it appears this is an exhibition event, am I right in assuming these guys aren't really trying hard to win? One of the fights the guy was pushing against the other, the opponent steps to the side and the pusher just falls flat on his stomach, aren't these guys supposed to be the best in the world or are they playing it up so it feels more exciting to the British public?
>>151463203Correct. This is an exhibition, not for rankings. They're just trying to get back to Japan without getting stabbed... i mean injured.
>>151463203this is an exhibition yeah, they compete for 15 days every 2 months so they are about a month from a real tournamentthey are going about 50-60% with a few obviously scripted finishes, but most of them seem to have been natural fights just done at very low intensity
>>151463203Dunno what prizes they're supposed to get, but it doesn't count toward their main tournament rankings, so they're not going to do anything that will get themselves injured before November.
>>151463203usually tournament days get all their bouts condensed on neat 30 min videostry to find one of those from the recent bashos and you will see the difference right awaysumo is fucking fun
>>151463192Do they not check timetable, the event ends in two hours, no? Is there something happening after the event that I haven't seen, cause presumably the event would've ended by then
>>151463180Churchgoers only upset you because you feel that their piety casts your degenerate lifestyle in a poor light. You wouldn't be so upset by people going to church if you didn't consider your own life choices to have been ill conceived.
>>151463256the other 4 days it started 5 hours from now and a lot of anons didnt know today would start earlier
>>151463272LOL, nice projection.
>>151463256I know I didn't check. Why would I? It was this Anon last night who let me know >>151453702
>>151463256I mean yeah they should, but I can't blame them. In a regular basho isn't the final day only an hour earlier than usual? I could imagine some hearing that day 5 will be early, but not imagine it would be this much earlier
cool ass apron by the flying monkey
>>151463299>In a regular basho isn't the final day only an hour earlier than usual?For Makuuchi, but the early division actually start LATER, lol
>>151463318You'd be crazy to bet on the one guy without a sword to win a three-way fight!
>>151463231>50-60%Lol no.>>151463203The yokozuna bouts are rigged, the rest are left up to the rikishi. They can arrange whatever they think'll be entertaining or just fight for real, albeit more carefully. Most of what you see, though, is 20% at best with maybe 2-3 matches a day that go a bit higher.
>>151463409>50-60%Yes. I would have said 60-70
>>151463272>pietyYou spelled pedophilia wrong.
>>151463409paraGOY
>>151463638...
FLUKE
Finlandanon can rest at ease, wherever he may be
>>151463931In Finland, probably.
>>151463203It should be noted that shrine sumo commonly had acted bouts, not to try and swindle people, but because the idea was to fight in a way that entertained the gods. So non-honbasho sumo, including regional tours, include some element of this, and it's considered normal. Nobody expects honbasho levels of competition outside of honbasho.
Ichi-bros...
Those that go 0-5 or 1-4 are certified pariah among their peers
>the only 0-5Shame, he was nice enough to take a picture and talk with people on his smoke break the other day
零山元
>>151464027maybe he should have been training instead of taking pics with you anon
>>151463961Aye, aye. This is only decietful because the organizers (including Hiro and whoever's with him) as well as all their marketing material is pretending this is a real basho and not a koen. In Japan this stuff is normal and everyone is in on it so no harm, no foul.wx2nx
>>151464081It's about on par with the Fuji TV tournaments.
Atamiin seems so lethargic.
Lmao, what the fuck was that
So this is the power of gravity
A VICIOUS SLAP said Hiro Morita
>>151464192>>151464197Discombobulate
>>151464192I think trying to make the match interesting while trying to keep his balance was too much for Atamifuji's brain to deal with, lol.
>>151464190He is listed 12 kgs lighter than in september, idk if it is a mistake or teru finally told him to lose some of his fat
>>151464214Hansoku!
Dan has entered
HENKA INCOMING
>"Abi has the opportunity to pick up his second championship">when he was practically geriatric last basho
LOL That's fun too.
classic flowchart victory
maybe the most entertaining match today until horse pulls an unloicensed mongolian knife and disembowels onosato live in the dohyo
A henka at least in spirit
HIRO DONT TELL THE WALL STORY AGAIN
>>151464261If whatever injury Abi was suffering from at Aki is healed he is going to be in good position to farm lower makuuchi in Kyushu
>>151464285God I wish that would actually happen.
dumb question:why do they keep false starting in this second half? they keep squatting down and then standing up again, throwing the salt again, squatting again, etc etcI feel like the first half the bouts started much more promptly
>>151464285>the ol' oshislashy
>>151464301NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>151464301HE FOUND A WAY TO TELL IT AGAIN
>>151464301Here we go...
>>151464327Normal. They are trying to fit the matches into the schedule. In the real tournaments the judge sitting in the southeast corner is the timekeeper. He tells the gyoji when to tell the wrestlers to fight.
>>151464327>why do they keep false starting in this second half? they keep squatting down and then standing up again, throwing the salt again, squatting again, etc etcThat's normal, they get two warm-ups with the third being the real one.Second half ones might be more drawn out if the first half matches ended quicker than expected.
drink every time hiro says he got nodowa'd by tamawashidrink every time hiro says david vs goliathdrink every time hiro says 40kg of salt
>>151464327thats up to the refereethe idea of that repetition of the ritual is getting both wrestlers synchronized so they are both ready to tachi aisometimes one of the sumotori might want to play some mind games, others might be battling nerves and centering themselves, sometimes it takes a bit
>>151464372Kek
The ultimate battle of technique versus chaos.
the first time in my life I'm catching matches live
out of all the rikishi they made tobizaru 4-0

So many Japanese women with older white dudes, haven't seen a single Japanese man with a white girl shown on camera yet. Quite a few HAPAs it looks like too
>>151464517Would be kino if they did it again with Tobi and Onosato.
>>151464540Nope.
Baited and ejected.
>>151464570Just like my Saturday nights.... and Sunday through Friday nights...
I did have hope of a flying monkey vs yokozuna playoff but i guess it was not to be>>151464467thats cool, i usually just end up watching the highlights and its nice to be able to watch the whole thing with the rituals and the extra stuff now and then
>>151464623i didn't know giraffes were native to the UK.
KiriSHITma and WakatakaKOGA make such an underwhelming pair of sekiwake
hmm, japanese vs mongolianwho's gonna "win" i wonder
>>151464724Hoshoryu takes this.
>>151464712When was the last time we had a real sanyaku? Back when Teruno was good?
>>151464623very tall and repulsive disgusting AIDS faggot tranny
>>151464740Takayasu & Dan are an imposing pair of komusubi
>>151464749lol, it's literally just a british chick, lol
anons we gonna set up a page for donations and on the next basho there will be a 4chan/sumo kenshokinsend the donations to my paypal, ill take care of the restLIKE HONSHORYU JUST TOOK CARE OF SHITOSATO
Nephew finally gets a win (still counts)
Ya hear this? Whole Japan is watching!
Onosato confirmed for 13-2 in november, losing to Hoshoryu (2-3-10) and Aoflipshiki (11-4).
And only a week left for the november banzuke, god bless.
>>151465008I dont think thats how time works anon>>151464993>Hoshoryu (2-3-10)The moment Hoshoryu loses 2 matches he takes on the forma of injured toe and retires
>>151464993... are you saying Hoshoryu sits out 10 matches, but comes back on the final day just to beat Onossato?
>>151465043Yes.
>>151465037>I dont think thats how time works anonBanzuke is released on the 27th.
>>151465057I mean... that would be kino, but.
>>151465037Huh, am I retarded? It comes out on the 27th no?
So many qt japanese girls shown on camera today
One od the award-givers must be a woman. Why not do it on the dohyo otherwise?
>>151465078Yes to both questions.
Hubcap award

Now they can have cool spinners on their bicycles.
>>151465139>i just need to learn to readFacts, Raul.
>"Why is Ura so popular?">"Because Hiro has been glazing him all week."
>And then Aonishiki is gonna send you flying with a throw>In what universe would that happen? you are joking
Where are the black athletes?
>>151465352Lower division.
GOODBYE
Shame Oonosato practiced his excellent speech only to not win.
Hello everyoneWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Despite everything, that was fun /sp/. See you in a month for the real thing!
Seeing them smile and clapping made it for me in the end.
>>151465670Three weeks! Don't be late.
remember that /xs/ has a sumo thread for offseason
>>151464740The Sanyaku mauled everyone in May iirc.
