The Dan thread
Fuck Russia
Wagers on Dan paid off bigtime. Bookies were asking for it giving odds that long on the best sumo wrestler to ever compete in the sport. He will be going off as a much, much heavier favorite in March
Does the Sumo Association and law enforcement keep an eye on the betting markets? Seems prime for some illegal manipulation.
>>153153079Who are those people?
>>1531529583/1 on hoshoryu. A guy who hasn’t won in like a year
I'm a Danaholic
>>153153081Sumo gambling scandals have been a thing since both sumo and gambling have existed.
WE EATIN FISH
Dan will get to 10 yushoes before Onosato does.
Dan's career will end in scandal. Don't doubt for a second that some zigger pig won't try to antagonize him into a street fight. Remember Asashoryu.
Wins during the last 3 tournaments:Aonishiki / Hoshoryu - 35Onosato -34
>>153156432Yushos during the last 3 tournaments:Dan - 2Onosato - 1Horseshoeryu - 0
>>153153099Supporter club. Each sekitori has one, and the more popular the rikishi is, the more support they get.
How it began
How it ended
>>153160364poor guy :(((((
>>153160364that outburst is unbecoming of a rikishi he should be ashamed
>>153160339>>153160364Dan absolutely wreck'd Iseghama beya this basho.Beat YoshshinoBeat Hakunofuji so bad he had to kyujoBeat Atami twice
so whats going to happen with sanyaku on the next banzuke? there is one komusubi slot available and 3 guys who've earned promotion. presumably atami will be the one to get it, but will the other two get an overhang or will they just get put in m1?
>>153160687K1e Wakamotoharu, K1e AtamifujiM1e Yoshinofuji, M1w WakatakakageIt's not unheard of for 8-7 to get a K2, but it has to be from M1e, not even M1w is good enough. Likewise for 9-6 from M2w.
Dan is holding a press conference
>安青錦になぜかうっすら塩コメントな>解説さんポロポロ居たけど流石に>もう誉めにゃならんとこまで>来たでしょう>彼の支えは背負う物の重さだね>献杯What is this in reference too? It certainly wouldn't have been Uncle Waka do that, so it must have been the NHK team shit talking Dan.
DAN, DAN FIELDINGHELLO DANDAN FIELDING
This man is the giver of Miyazaki beef
>>153161315塩コメント usually means ''not hyped enough'' more than shit talkingpretty much everyone has been praising dan though
>>153160364he could've been happy about a great basho and he wasn'tcan't wait to see how he does in march
>at least I still have this rice
>>153160364This pause frame is so expressiveThe genuine agony of knowing you were up to the task but just weren't quite good enough. Poor guy
I drew thisr8
Nobody's gonna beat this nigga for years to come. Sumo isn't freestyle wrestling. If you can't out-power him by half, you're fried. They have no idea how to beat him.
>me in the newspaper >t. dan
>>153163616Onosato owns him thoughever
>>1531635887/8 for effort and authenticity.
>>153163681but hoshoryu owns onosato therefore triple yokozuna incoming
they really are just a bunch of silly guyshttps://x.com/mambon/status/2015591341515022738
>>153163855why is yoshinofuji's hair not in the fanned out shape?
>>153164770I just assumed his hair isn't quite long enough yet so he rocks the normal chonmage
>>153160339>>153160364Does he normally waddle like that?Kind of feel bad for the guy but I can't root against aonishiki.
>>153160339Oh lawd he comin'
>>153163771Dominating horse is funny but he really needs to figure out sharto
>>153165069he's gotta get bigger Onosato just overpowers him even with one arm
>>153153698in the vid the old guy in the bow tie is so disgusted/disappointed he can't even look at the wrestlers
>>153160364don't worry atami fans, this was from a previous tournament
>>153165260what should be his ideal weight?
>>153165615Larger than Onosato I'd say.
>>153152644Will he be promoted to Yokozuna now that he has won 2 consecutive tournaments?
>>153166345No. If he wins (or gets a 'win equivalent') the March tournament, then it might happen, but for now he's staying an Ozeki.
>>153166345Need back to backs as an ozeki. Last one didnt count
>>15316358810/10.5
>>153156252dan seems to chill for that
>>153167651This, he isnt shishi
atamifuji KWABhorseryu KWABonosato KWABkiriSHITma KWABhakuohofuji KWAB
>>153168492>onosato KWABuhmmmm
Hello, my name is Shishi!
>>153169909
>>153169890Dan KWAB'd Onosato's shoulder in November and then he humiliated himself with a 10-5 as a result this time around. Onosato would be KWABOTY if Horse weren't around to make him look comparatively competent.
>>153169920
The yokozuna deliberation council issued a statement praising Dan's hinkaku. https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2026/01/27/articles/20260127s00005000007000c.html
Kisenosato published an editorial saying thanking Dan for being the only upper sanyaku capable of preventing a clown basho and denigrating the yokozunas and the other ozeki for their failure to keep the maegashitters in their place. He also said he is excited about seeing Fujinokawa's debut at joi level in March
KPMG has announced that they're joining Dan's supporter's club. Dan is now a major international economic figure who wields substantial influence on a global scale
>>153172512link?
fucking retarded OP should have just made it a /sumo/ thread
>>153172719https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/tokusyu/sumou/
>>153172745Ao won so it is fitting to make the thread dedicated to him.
Is the idiot seething yet that they aren't immediately promoting him despite being reminded by everyone else that it wouldn't happen?
>>153173352Nobody who knows anything about sumo ever thought Dan could get promoted this basho, lmao that you believed it was a possibility. He'd still be ozeki even if he had zensho'd
>>153173352he's going to continue to do whatever gets him replies without believing anything he says, yes
Hananofuji's (formerly Kiho) taller more talented younger brother decided to join Ajigawa instead of Iseghama because he wanted to be in Dan's stable. All the best recruits are going to want to go to Ajigawa from now on.
>>153164770Not long enough yet.
Dan's chauffer license plate number is 4527 (only true insiders will understand this reference)
>>153171983>lose to a guy after you kwab his shouldergrim
Asanoyama got shown some uncomfortable truths this basho. He lost pretty much every contest he had with anyone who wasn't ranked in the double digits. Even Shodai made him eat dirt. All of Asanoyama's big talk about "I'm gonna make it back to ozeki" and "I'm gonna make it back to sanyaku" was proved to be just an unrealistic boast. Probably some drug induced daydream he had while he was getting wasted in a sleazy geisha house.
Dan retained the championship belt. Those other guys can call themselves "yokozuna" or whatever else they want to, but Dan is the reigning world champion of sumo.If those "yokozunas" can't take a cup off Dan then their titles are meaningless
>>153168407There wouldn't be any evidence left if someone goaded Shishi into a fight on the street. That's just free dinner for that fucking ogre.
Its a beautiful new day and Dan is still the world champion of sumo
Who's "zak"?

Who is this Dan you speak of?
https://hochi.news/articles/20260126-OHT1T51303.html>Dan's ozeki promotion party is scheduled for JuneHow come Japs take half a year to plan a party?
>>153179516Aaah, Kotozakura. Now I get it.
>>153181769kek Dan will be Yokuzuna before the ozeki party starts

Whats your favorite flavor of coffee, Roga, Abi or Onokatsu?
>>153195307Abi.I actually like Rainbow Mountain

how much would you pay for a certified authentic 100ml cup of sekitori bath water?
>>153196955you'll have to check danbooru for that
Would like to know how official their height / weight listings are…. Is it like the nfl combine where everything is exact or more like high school ball where everyone puts down whatever they think sounds impressive
Whito piggu go homu
>>153200333They have official weigh-ins & height measurement before every Tokyo basho. They get some other tests at that time too, including a blood draw
>>153200386I mean, 5'11 isn't short. Just relatively. It just makes it that much more impressive how good he his is despite being on the "smaller" side.
What are the chances of the sideways rope in the immediate future and what are the chances he doesn't turn into a clown after getting the Big Yok honours, very much like a certain pair of currently active jesters?
>>153206408>5'11 isn't shortlmao manlet cope. euromanlets love that 180cm meme because it allows the shorties to cope and claim they aren't shorties.get this through your manlet head: under 6'2" = short
>>153211088k
>>153210736Yokozuna is likely, but if you think the current yokozuna are bad then Aonishiki won't be much better considering he hasn't surpassed 12 wins yet and the two reigning yokozuna have done so multiple times (including as yokozuna). Aonishiki right now is in the tier where he's a very strong ozeki but needs to take another step up in order to be a strong yokozuna.
>>153211555I am _not_ expecting a zensho yusho every two months, la, but I do demand a tit tighter embargo on the kinboshi. It was six this time, for crying out loud.
>>153211846Adding a 3rd yokozuna only means more kinboshi will be dispensed. Dan only lost to sanyaku ranked competitors this time, but the Yoshinofuji & Hakunofuji contests were close calls
>>153211868Is there really no hope?
