WACK
Holy shit there's ghosts in the audience
ZAK THE WALL
Kotozakura breastfeeding his quadruplets all at the same time.
The false start made that even funnier
Kotozakura once again gatekeeping the fuck out of sanyaku from these unworthy maegashitters.
Jeezus WTK ever since Sept WTK has been looking pathetic. I mean c'mon two matches in a row with false starts?
>>153004922>What haircut do you want?>Just fuck my hair for the rest of my life
>>153004943Same number of cups and they would be at the same rank if Wakatakakage hadn't blown a knee.
>>153004941Zak didn't even get up, lmao. He knew this was going to be dumpstering.
>>153004945That's not uncommon, lol. Hakuho did that bro.
Why are so many at 6-1
>>153004957Abi lost.
What the fuck...
Very sloppy sumo from Onosato
>>153004958I finally realize why this scared me. Shishi's movement projects "Ima come get you, and then ima come in your ass"
OH MY RUBBER NEN
Onosato's balance is something else sometimes.
>go backwin?
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!
OnosatoSumo style: ballerina
Yesterday he tried Abi-fighting, this time he's going for a Shishi-type build.
Onosato is both a solid and a fluid
I told you guys.Onosato has really good balance and awareness of the straw bales, a key factor that separates Yokozuna from the rest. He's almost immune to henkas too since he doesn't blindly bull rush, he's just a steamroller that moves forward decisively.
Onosato in his Shishi era without knowing exactly what he is doing but winning because he is very big.
Fuckin hell this is ridiculous. He has to either be massively in his own head or is just sandbagging to preserve his shoulder.
>>153004993Probably both. I doubt he's 100% and he's been in full panic mode.
Kinboshi incoming
>>153004997Regardless, he either needs to get his shit straight immediately or yusho or else this basho is gonna be a disaster for his reputation
He's just so fucking cool.
The new color for Onosato's mawashi's gotta be cursed.
Hmm...
uh oh
>brains self>loses
That's a rematch.
This going to be like the Aonishiki ruling earlier this tournament
Rematch or it's rigged.
Torinaoshi? Hakunofuji was dead when he put his hand down.
>Bow twirlers face
torinaoshi incoming
>puts hand down to stop from getting brain splattered on the clay>gets brain splattered anyway
Both hand and head hit first he 100% lost
CRASHEDBURNEDThat left hand touched first, unless they wanna pull a fucky and say dead body
REMATCH
>>153005048Not when Hakunofuji's feat where pointing at the roof at the time, lol.
Time for Horseshoe to fight with his self-inflicted concussion.
Hosh scalped himself
That looks painful
I see the wheels spinning in Horseshartryu's head. Henka incoming.
He's concussed, he looks lost.
>>153005048At least the judges are being consistent in their rulings regarding the Yokozuna's.
YOKOZUNA
FIGHTING SPIRIT
Ok I'm done pretending to hate Hoshoryu. He manages a consistently fucking good win rate basically every basho even if he doesn't yuushou ever since he got the rope. His sumo is good, he's fast, aggressive, strong, and good at adapting to throws. He's also a nice guy outside the tournaments in the youtube videos.I apologize. Hoshoryu did nothing wrong. He doesn't deserve the hate. At most, some criticism for his attitude with pushing people after the bout is over and mongolian fatigue after the last 15 years but otherwise he should be treated better by you guys.
concussions make you better at sumo
>>153005076I respect him, I just enjoy seeing him lose more than seeing him win.
>>153005076don't care, didn't read, TMD
>Hosh>busted knee>brain damage>Onosato>injured shoulder>playing scared>controversial rulings>Dan>arrives>wins>leave
>>153005076so true sister
>>153005079FACT.
Every single Hosh match is kino, never fails. Getting tired of watching Onosato hopping around like a faggot.
>>153005076its literally one guy who doesnt like him for some reason
>>153005079Honestly he didn't seem all that dazed or hurt to me. He got a cut in an area that tends to bleed a lot when cut.
>>153005083Anon, all of them probably have brain damage. Outside of that everything you said is fair.
>another dive off finish>Hosh splatters his brains>pretty sure he got dirt on his hair too>I'm not fully convinced that his hand didn't touch the ground first>He genuinely looked out of it after the hit>wins the rematch anywayGreat bout to finish the day lol
>>153005076Your sins are forgiven, my son.
>>153005076he's a faggot and you're a faggot for liking him
>Both Yokozuna drop out the day the Emperor arrivesGrand Sumo has fallen. Billions must die.
>>153005098Nah, I saw part of his brain coming out
>>153005063>Onosato puts his hands up to avoid hitting the ground face-first>Completely valid, his opponent was already in the air>His opponent was simply jumping to avoid a worse fall, in total control and executing the technique against Onosato>Onosato gets the victory, not even a monoii to discuss>Hoshoryu puts his hand up to avoid being lobotomized against the dohyo>Hakunofuji LITERALLY with both feet pointing upwards>Hoshoryu being the active participant in the technique>monoii AND torinaoshiLiterally in this tournament Onosato is being carried by having Kisenosato as his shimpan during his matches. I enjoy the torture against Hoshoryu as much as anyone, but we have to be fair to the situation (which is funny when you compare them).
>>153005076Hoshoryu is good and deserves respect. He is just being overshadowed by Onosato who just makes winning seem easy and Aonishiki who has so much potential and hype behind him.
>>153005104>I'm not fully convinced that his hand didn't touch the ground firstHis hand did hit first, but Hakunofuji was upside down at the time, so torinaoshi.
>>153005099Only one of the three spiked their heads today.
>>153005076I don't hate him I'm just bitter. Got into sumo cuz of his promotion and since then it's just been hope and then disappointment on repeat.
Hoshoryu doesn't need the Shimpan (bought by the Yakuza btw) to make him win like Onosato
>>153005140Yeah, the past two have been rough for sure. But if you look at this run (barring a few injuries) he's doing Yokozuna sumo. And sadly that does not always mean winning the cup.
>>153005153His losses are kind of shaped like Mt Fuji.
JSA just straight up fucked Ura and now Hokunofuji out of kinboshi wins.
>>153005173MAKE YOKO LOOK STRONG
>>153005173You're correct about Ura, but so wrong about Hakunofuji that you didn't even bother to spell it right.
Both of the yokozuna are now in a prime position of weakness. If Tobizaru was ranked higher to get a matchup he could do the funniest thing.
>>153005153Sept and Nov were the ones I was the most fine with as at that point I was already bitter. It was March and then the beginning part of May is what made me bitter. March was my first time following a basho, I was excited to see how he'd do as a Yokozuna, and I had these expectations of what a Yokozuna was. Then bro gets ass blasted into dropping out early. Huge disappointment. Yes he was injured but the problem is that we can never know if their actually injured or saving face but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. May comes and then he loses two straight early. Yeah, him wiping his taint on Onosato's zensho rope was cool but in the end it was meaningless. Then July came and he dropped out again. At that point I was just fucking done.
>>153005197What could Tobizaru do that would be funny? I'm new to sumo and all I know os he's apparently a tricksy bastard.
>>153005235He could make both of them retire.
>>153005226You will not be missed.
>>153005153>promote guy who goes 12-3 or 13-2 all the time>he continues to do this>"wtf he is shit now."
punished Hosh
>>153005076>He manages a consistently fucking good win rate basically every basho even if he doesn't yuushouWe have a name for that. It's called ozeki. Hoshoryu is very good, but he shouldn't have been promoted.
HOW the fuck is onosato 6-1? his sumo is looking terrible
>>153005153>no yusho>yokozuna sumopick one
>>153005121>guy known for being a fucking prick is shown less mercy than a guy known for not being a cuntwow imagine my shock
Ever notice that it's consistently the fake fans who don't watch live that shit on wrestlers?
>>153005620Hosh would have been such a good career ozeki, he'd have held it so long. I feel like them forcibly promoting him was a death knell to his career, he could have gone on so much longer. Now he's fighting with a fucking torn meniscus because a yokozuna can't just leave if the emperor is going to attend. How many years is each match taking from him right now I wonder? Same for onosato, a separated shoulder is no fucking joke.
So when's Takerufuji retiring? It's just embarrassing at this point. He'll go down in history as a complete fluke.
Horseshoe Ryu .. my king .. :)
