Hakkeyoi
>>156882211Why did he even do it? It's not like he had anything to be mad about considering he won that match very cleanly.
>>156882550He was limping a bit as he got down off the dohyo, maybe he was just lashing out in pain. Idk. Yamanobe's so smol, how could you hate him?
>>156882470>20 years later
>>156882617It's a really cute story
daily reminder midnight sumo is a faggotVPN + AbemaDatasumo left to get milk and cigarettes and never came backthis thread will get liquidated by englel shit posts tomorrow
i love japan and japanese things but i'm not sure if i should follow this sport for fat people
sneaky optical espionage anon reportwrestlers are arriving at the basho nowSaw a few small fats, no super fats yet.They are arriving on foot mostly at this point, guess the elite guys take taxis*post captcha update: large fats have now begun arriving
>>156882751You should go say hi to them
>>156880975Yeah, there's a flip, or several, who keep buying old accounts and pretend to be Natto on them to get the revenue and get dumb people to donate to his personal paypal. The vids survive longer if the quality is shit or if there's random music or clips inserted somewhere. Bean man himself hasn't been on Youtube for years.>>156882678>daily reminder midnight sumo is a faggotCan confirm this is true.
Still believing in Hosh
>>156882678I miss him so much
>>156882783I would but I don’t think I could get through the gate securityactually I could probably fight my way past the old man guarding the gate but I think the wrestlers would roll me into a meatball afterwards
>>156882946Keep the reports coming, they're funWe really are everywhere...
I need information on dewanojos toilet, and is the bidet just a firehose. He will be coming up here soon
>>156883100Big McHugeLarge
>>156883038I actually watched them build this bashothe water in my bottle was shaking like the Jurassic park T. rex scene for about a year from the heavy equipment and support column poundingkept thinking it was an earthquake
is wakanosho kill? I don't see him on the absentee list but I know sometimes that means jack
>cosmetic plunger
baldy seems concussed at that slam
>>156883217Yes.https://hochi.news/articles/20260718-OHT1T51061.html
>>156883417>mfw free win for Kinbozan.
>>156883460yea thats kinda fucked.
>>156883460Even got Kisenosato to break his "holding in a massive shit" scowl, impressive.
>>156883238that’s not a plunger, it’s a limpet mine with applicator stickwith poos that big you have no choice but to blast
Does anyone have an archive of the january 2025 cup? I can find it in bits and pieces here and there, but not every match.
>tfw too busy shit posting and missed dewanojo
>>156883923He won.
>>156883900Any reason in particular?
>>156883599So obviously shitty it even gave Kisenosato a big sad. I hate him but it's rare to see him break character.
>>156883993>saving my dog shit ai gifI had to ask like 50 times to make it better and its still wonky kek. So fucking wobbly.
>>156884030But the models have come a long way. Not far from being able to one shot good sprite sheets.
>>156883460Maybe his eyes were closed and he didn't realize he had won already?
>>156883460damn what a pos
>>156884204Nah, I saw it live. Gyoji said "shobuari" before the shove.
>>156883417just once, JUST ONCE, I would like my KachiKlash not to get torpedo'd by a Kyujo. I've quickly become a big fan of Wakanosho and I hope re recovers soon.
>>156884030That's exactly why I kept it. Something about the jank makes the "L" even more insulting.
>>156882717It's such a crazy sport. It's worth it.
>>156882717What the anon above me said, also like any sport it's easy to have misconceptions without knowing anything about it. I've had a pretty typical american upbringing, I've been exposed to many sports, yet the only two that got me hooked are Sumo and Hurling. But Sumo is the only one I know of that can claim to be as much a Shinto ceremony as it is a sport, and yet the competition is incredibly fierce and the competitors are serious athletes, it's unique.
really hope shishi gets to 7-0 today bros
What happened to rikishi 100 years ago when they tore their ACL or whatever, did they ever recover or were they just fucked forever
>>156882717it’s not really a fat people sport, bowling and bass fishing are fat people sports. Sumo is a sport for strong lower body people and the fat is just a mass amplifier that they add to increase their inertia.For most sumo the fat seems to be temporary and after they retire they usually lose the excess weight*. *This does not apply to Konishiki who retired to become a cartoonishly fat man with a cartoonishly small ukulele. Kind of like a Tiny Tim Deluxe.
>>156884806Great question, I want to know too
>>156884806I’m gonna talk out of my ass here but I think sumo 100 years ago may have been less heavy in general and may have had stronger leg joints due to Japanese at that time being shorter, thus having less leverage applied to the ligaments, and Japanese at that time having been accustomed to squatting and crouching all their lives.
>>156884806Their career would definitely be fucked. You can learn how to walk again without surgery, but you won't be able to put athlete-levels of stress on your knee for the rest of your life.
>>156884806>>156884869ACL surgery that's actually useful wasn't really a thing until recent years. A hundred years ago, it would be recognized as a sprain and treated accordingly, with a tendency for the Rikishi's knee to suddenly give out with significant pain, and limping in later years. Not surprisingly, such injuries were anywhere from rank obliterating to career ending.
>>156884806They opened a chankonabe restaurant.
>>156883460based, skinny little douche should've let go instead of trying to pull the guy he already lost to into a hard fall off the raised dohyo. part of the privilege that goes along with winning is avoiding being injured falling out of the ring.
>>156885180Stop trying to act tough. You look retarded.
God damn what a fucking effort from Kitaharima
It's over Kitaharimaniacs...
>>156884806Fucked forever. There's a reason judo banned leg locks in 1925.
wakanosho breaking newshis right knee is fucked badHe will be out of action for 30 daysthey said the injury name but I didn’t recognize it
>>156885320Twitter says contusion of the right femur
>>156885180HorseSHITryu tried to do the same thing to Dan in picrel match and everyone called out horseshit on it when he held on to Dan's arm and tried to injure him with a post-match fall out the ring. The same isn't happening here because lightweight and smol wrestlers get a free pass on all the tons of bullshit they all pull because >reeeee you can't be mean to the smaller guy, thats le bullying an sheeeiiiiiiittthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXQ0xEyuWkUenho fights like a faggot and nobody ever complains, but then when tobizaru does shit thats only 10% as faggoty as enho people throw a shitfit and screech about muh hinkaku and its all because tobi is only just shy of being decent sized and enho is a tiny manlet sissy wimp. its a shame they relaxed the restrictions on manlets in sumo, the manlets do not belong, let them become jockeys or something more appropriate for their size
>>156885320F
>>156884806You know those characters in stories with a bum leg and their defining character trait is having a bum leg? That.
>>156885268
>156885395...
>>156885441>total manlet total manlet death
>>156885395danfaggot going on a schizo rant of useless shit to talk about
Does Dewanojo want to be a forever Sandanme? Is that why he refuses to lose any weight?
>tries to 360 noscope>gets noscoped himselfIt’s a man’s life it is
>>156885546Dewanojo wanted to be a first baseman.
>>156885633I wear those same boxer shortshis might be a little smaller though
did his shoulder get stung by a bee on the way to the match?
It seems like, when the gyoji announces the wrestlers, he adds a -ni sound to the end of the first one's name, does that mean anything or is it just a quirk of the way you addressa crowd?
>>156885778A what sound
>>156885764Butsukari training often creates bumps, callous and/or worn away skin on the shoulder.
>>156885778He's saying higashi (east) and nishi (west) to announce the names of the two wrestlers fighting and their positions on the dohyo.
>>156885778Note that he's always saying it after the first wrestler. It's kinda like saying 'and' or 'versus'. ex. Oyamada ni Nihonyanagi>>156885824That's what the yobidashi say. I don't think that's what he's referring to.
>>156885778I think it might be the “ni” part of “Nishi” (west) stretched out but I can’t hear the gyoji over the announcers clearly on nhk, so I can’t say for sure
>>156885842>That's what the yobidashi sayMy bad, I speedread his post.
>>156885824>>156885842>>156885845Cool thanks
>>156885842Actually I think this is the correct answerin more modern phrasing to say “versus” you say A tai B but I think “A ni B” also means the same thing in that context
PSHT PSHT PSHT PHST
>>156885957ok I just asked the Japanese person who lives in my house and always argues with me and she says that in normal Japanese you don’t say “A ni B” to mean “versus” but that sumo has its own phrasing and terminology and as a regular Japanese person she can’t understand any of it. Also I got yelled at for asking.
>>156885989Like I said, it's KINDA like saying 'and' or 'versus'.
>>156885989based. know your place you filthy gaijin
>>156886015Who will be the first one to take him down? I really just want to see him lose at least once at this point
>>156886037
Camera guy knows.
Abema are proud sponsors of #hagwatch
>>156886024yes, from my understanding of the Japanese language in general, I think it’s perfectly plausible that it it’s being used to mean “versus” in this sense, despite it not being common modern usage. So I think you are right.>>156886034Oh, I do. I am reminded of it daily. I have myself fatigue.
>>156885989>I just asked the Japanese person who lives in my house and always argues with me>Also I got yelled at for asking.holy based
>>156886046This, but unironically. However, I think Asahifuji might just henka him to get a sneaky belt throw anyways.
>>156883979I started following sumo the basho after that one, and feel like doing my homework, so to say.
was that jay and silent bob in the stands just now?
>>156886165I don't know about an archive of the whole basho from start to finish, but I'm sure you know you can watch the san'yaku matches for each day on the NSK YouTube.
>>156883900>>156886165LeoDickinson's channel on YT has them if you give him a dollar, although they are with commentary but at least his commentary is pretty light.
Aoiyama from Bulgaria is present for the nhk commentary. He says the best thing about Nagoya is the grilled eel. He’s wrong, it’s the miso pork cutlet.
>>156886252Miso katsu is good, but it won't beat normal katsu sauce for me.
Honorary white man is up
Bukkake'd
>>156886301
>>156886282yes, I have encountered many madmen such as yourself. I do not criticize, but I cannot comprehend.
>yobidashi fan is to prevent spit from getting on the ringhuh TIL, my first guess was the anchuent japanese thought it would project the voices better to the crowds
Future yokozuna nabatame
damn for a low rank match that was brutalthe body size throws off the perception of scale, that was probably like 3 liters of blood
>>156886328No shit? I always figured it was a callback to the names being written on a fan as a more elegant way to carry "notes" for the wrestlers in each bout.
>>156886354They keep the cheat sheet cupped in their left hand for emergencies.
First time watching this, so far I'm having fun. Surprised (pleasantly) that it's not just fatsos pushing each other, some of the throws I've seen are very judo-like even. I wonder if that one sumo guy that tried MMA in the 2000s performed so badly just because he was a stylist (a fighter that sticks to a single martial art), but sumo is looking like one of those martial arts that could be very good in a complementary way, kind of like the way taekwondo is a meme on its own but very strong if paired with karate, muay thai or kickboxing.
Small versus Ball, always a treat!
>>156886412Yeah, sumo is extremely specialized.
>>156886416That was a surprising result
Lyoto Machida did sumo>He was the runner-up in the 2000 Brazilian Sumo Championships in the 115 kg division. As an adult, he became Brazilian Champion twice, and placed second in the South American Championship.
>>156886412>>156886427That sumo guy only made it to the 3rd division and wasn't exactly the best representative. Still, sumo is specialized and held back in MMA because there's no ringouts. In a format where ringouts are a viable way to win, sumo becomes more relevant.
he's going to keep winning until you start expecting him to
>>156886478Dropping people is useful even with no ring outs though, no joke I think Paddy Pimblett could benefit from knowing sumo. Great BJJ but can't take people to the ground to save his life and struggles badly in the pocket, even just being good at pushing people away could be a net positive for a guy with his weaknesses.
>>156886503I concur. Pushing people is a thoroughly underrated skill.
Baruto's MMA matches were pretty boring though, desu.>Push opponent against the cage>Body shots and knees>Repeat>Repeat>Win by decision.
>>156886498Do we really need multiple iterations of this same meme for the same joke
>>156886412It's not unusual for Sumo wrestlers to have some background in judo or other types of wrestling, and if they're Mongolian they're almost guaranteed to have experience in Bokh. Aonishiki's style of wrestling does a clear show of his early days in freestyle & judo. The cool thing with Sumo is that despite all of the rituals involved it's quite a pure contest of strength and control, and not really a martial art in the normal sense because everything about it is pragmatic. Even the signature shiko foot stomp is quite practical, it trains the lower body in both strength and balance, and helps a lot with hip mobility. I'd recommend adding it to your workout routine, especially if you have desk job.
>>156886498He's going to slam into the Sanyaku wall like Wile E. Coyote.
>>156886561Where do you think you are?
Congrats Meisei on your first win! You'll be back up there with ya boy Hosh any day now!
Arashifuji is now the sole Juryo leader.
How does it work with Wakanosho? Will his opponent today (and all future opponents) get a rest or do they bump someone up to fill the spot?
>>156886757His opponent today and all future opponents will get a free win.
>>156886788Did Shishi already face him?
>>156886757bone contusion, not ACL, not sure which one's better https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202607180000355.htmlhis opponent today gets fusen, free win. he is off basho now.
>>156886796no
>>156886824Based
>>156886788>>156886757They only schedule one day at a time at this point, so just Kinbozan will get a free win. He won't be on the torikumi for day 9.
>>156886757His opponent today will get a free win and not have to fight, but from then on his spot isn't "left open" for free wins for others. However, every match from today onwards will count as a loss on Wakanosho's record. Visitors from the top of Juryo will fill in for vacancies if the banzuke is uneven when scheduling the next day's bouts.
>>156886757His opponent today will get a forfeit win. New matches will be scheduled without him, he will get one loss for each day he misses. >>156886806ACL is way worse to damage.
>>156886851>Visitors from the top of Juryo will fill in for vacancies if the banzuke is unevenThis is what I was interested in.
>>156886876>>156886851We're uneven now, so we'll just be back to even. Pic not related.
>>156885989>Woman yelling at youYou need to fuck her
>>156886918why does this look AI generated
>>156886941Because you're broken inside.
>>156886919We don’t do such things in Japan
>>156886919>God this idiot foreigner is living in my house, keeps getting basic shit wrong, wont stop asking me stupid god damned gaijin questions about shit nobody cares about, I am so done dealing with with his bullshit and I need him to put it in RAW
no pop for Kotoeiho, what a bitch
>>156886992it might be the clarity of the footage vs how crazy it starts, idk
Who has the record for the most fusen (as wins)
crowd deafening gigapop for Ura
>>156887030Could be restored footage, but it was certainly a real bout.
say something nice about our tournament leader
>>156887033Tamawashi 15
>>156887061okay THAT looks like an AI generated kesho-mawashi
>>156887061His kesho-mawashi today is fuckin lit, god damn

>>156887072lol
>>156887115This is what they show to the hohols when vanning them
>>156887103that cannot be a coincidence
Evil spirits BTFO
>>156887115same vibes
i don't mind middy but his "omg we need to give the wrestlers privacy when they get hurt and if you clip it you will be banned" shit is extremely deviant homosexual behavior
>>156886851If you get pulled into Makuuchi from Juryo, do those wins and losses count towards your Juryo tournament record?
>>156887259Yes. They don't usually just pick some rando and throw them to the wolves, it's usually a guy in the upper Juryo ranks showing promise and it's a bit of a litmus test to see if he has what it takes to make it out of Juryo.
>>156887259Yes. And if you get pulled from Makushita into Juryo, you still only get paid as a Makushita. :P
>>156887259your rank doesn't change, you're not a div1 wrestler, you just fight one of them
>>156887286you get to use the ginkgo leaf topknot and throw salt tho
>>156887315True. And if you're Juryo fighting up you get to keep the Kensho if you win.
>>156887375Itadakimasu!
>>156887375Flipped and binned.
>>156887375that's tonkatsu though
>>156887375Japanese food is inferior
Shishi's surgery scar
>>156887415
no...
our retard.....
>>156887424Looks like a heffer getting milked
it's over...
for a moment I thought he'd save that one
ZOINKS
It's over
Shishi will be butchered for meat to feed his stable to atone for this mistake
so you're saying it's a 14-1 yusho
We're back to the normal timeline folks. Disaster averted.
fucking finally
He tried the exact same thing last night. Based retard
it was that head clash at the tachiai it threw him off9 times out of 10, shishi wins that. just sayin'
>>156887464One time in four, actually
>>156887480>>15688746425% of the time he wins everytime
bad day for ogres
Yea it's back to juryo
Kazuma kind of sucks
ABI ABI ABIOi Oi Oi
total caveman death
fat ugly bastard bros...
The Lion slept tonight...
Those hips were MOVING.
>>156887552They show this on TELEVISION?
Damn what a jobber
Damn... Mita-kun put up a fight at least.
sorry i just dont support chuds that break covid protocols
>>156887666I do, those ladies have to make money somehow.
extra sumo?
Holy fuck
>>156887721I think so.
>>156887721I would say so
100% a rematch
dude turned on no clip wtf.
Bonus sumo ftw
Chiyoshouma ROBBED
>>156887780Nonsense.
Deserved to have a monkey land on him.
That was the 25th meeting between Wakamotoharu and Tobizaru.
This will be the 29th meeting between Shodai and Takayasu. Impressive span.
>>156887911god this is so funny
What was sumo like during covid?
Reminder that Shishi will end 7-8.
>>156887997yeah, 7-8 zenshos in his career
pink man time
so is this ura guy just shit or something, i never see him win
URRRRRAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!>knocks over a beer bottle
pink man bad :(
>>156887993shit like most things during that time
>>156888092>is this ura guy just shit or somethingNah, he's just broken. Ura is an agent of chaos. When healthy he can disrupt the basho by achieving victories that throw off everything. Like Abi.
>>156888092He hangs in there. Sometimes he does neat stuff. Safe to say he's past his prime at 34 though.
>>156888133They surely had to pull out the kimarite thesaurus for this one
>>156888127>>156888133>he's just broken>he's past his primeAt least no one can say Based Pink Man hasn't given it all for sumo.
my boy tres tetas
Atamiin looks sun-dried today.
hope you all realize how much fujinokawa is going to rape dan here kek
fucking snatched him out of the air lmao
manlet played himself
MANLETSWHEN WILL THEY LEARN
>>156888332KEK
thats so pathetic
>>156888332KWAB

DO NOT TRY TO TRICK THE WHITE MAN
HENKAS ARE FOR BITCHES
lmao get fucked Fujinokawa
fujinokawa is a matta merchant
>>156888332
Mistakes were made
reminds me of when a kid jumps into their dad's arms kek
Nice quick match for Dan that didn't put much stress on the ankle.
I predicted months ago that Dan would fall for exactly one henka, and then never again.
>>156888217>t least no one can say Based Pink Man hasn't given it all for sumo.Correct. Ura has been a light in the darkness of mediocrity.
Atamifuji should have this
>>156888367Aonishiki clamped down on him like a mid-air bear trap
lmao that henkanigga thought this was mario and he needed to jump on the other guy's head
>FUCK YO HENKA NIGGA!>FUCK YO HENKA!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>156888420
>>156888332everybody point at this bitch and laugh
>>156888444>10 years ago
hes so feeble...
1 tomato > 4 melons
Atamizeki run back on track, also makes me sad seeing Zak so dead out there.
>Kotozakara kadoban desuShit's getting real.
Kotozakura, aka future mitakeumi
>>156888444Sometimes sacrifices must be made in the pursuit of style points.
ATOMIC FUDGY :DDDDD
>>156888487It is known.
I will never accept a Kirishima yoko if they count the last tournament for the rope.
>KIRISHIMAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
I say 2.9/3 ain't bad.
>>156888535I doubt anyone cares what you accept or don't accept.
>>156888535How about accepting it for his performance instead. Faggot.
>>156888565Heemed himself and beat a bunch of shitters when all the top rankers kyujo'd. Accept this dick.
>>156888555>Mah nigga
That's good sumo.
>>156888582What dick?
>like tossing out garbageNICE!!!!
Hard fought win for Kiri
>>156888535At this point I'll accept any Yokozuna who isn't a kinboshi dispenser.
DROP ON THE DECK AND FLOP LIKE A FISH
It would be quite funny if Kiri made yoko and instantly surpass Hosh with yusho.
Did he finally get it? just go forward
STRONG sumo by the Sharto
JUST PUSH IDIOT.
Uh oh.
my yokozuna?
he's back baby
Lmao just push
>pic relatedIs pleased.
>>156888750look at those rosy cheeks :3
Hosh is going to fuck this up.
Lmao threw him like yesterdays trash
toss his ass hosh
>>156888774
disposed of
>>156888774I was wrong. That was nice.
Both Yokozuna looking strong again. Good.Gonba be a spicy second week with Aonishiki and Kirishima going strong as well.
dang I guess those yokelzoomer guys actually are good at wrasslin
>>156888833I think Aonishiki's got a good chance of getting Ozeki back. I won't be surprised if Kotozakura doesn't get to keep floating there anymore.
The Yusho race after day 7. Say something nice about them.
>>156888859They all need to lose one match to make it into absolute chaos.
>>156888847>good at wrasslinIt's "rasslin" you dumb nigger.
>>156888859kirishima is too boring to be a yokozuna, it will be so lame
>>156888872
>>156888872maybe in the stupid yank spellingthe QUEEN said it's wrasslin
Did sumo win or lose today.
>>156888929Aonishiki IS sumo, so sumo won.
>>156888929
>>156882717You should learn enough to understand the basics, like at a japanese housewife level. Basic things like the rituals, and the pillow fights and handing out cash on the spot if you do something really impressive.Takayatsu vs Urahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5q5pps_C7MPillow fight.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh7mxAJFBpI
>>156884030If it makes you feel better, or worse, I handed it off to some ASL speakers and deaf people at a school.
>>156884806Remember, that rikishi at high enough levels do not get to retreat to lower levels. They retire. The fundamental fate of all fighters is to age, and have their bodies fail. This is no different.
>>156888879We really don't need another yokozuna who can't win consistently. Hoshoryu was never yokozuna level to begin with and Onosato went perma injured and/or mindbroken almost immediately after promotion. Adding a third one would be a set up for even more dissapointment. They have two to do the ceremonial bits, they should raise the standards back up.
>>156889054I mean sure if you are a dumb faggot and don't understand the question
>>156889075I understood just fine. It's no different than any other major injury. Being this angry and rude is unseemly.
To any newfags in here, today's Onosato was real Onosato. Expect him to panic pull tomorrow.
>>156888859/ourretard/ still got it
>>156889063>They should raise the standards back upThe problem with this is that Hosh is still active. While it really seems unlikely, there is still a chance that Hosh will turn it around simply because he's still fighting and still in his prime; we don't know for sure what'll happen in the future. And while it's not a great comparison, look at Kakuryu: he had a similar begining to his Zuna stint as Hosh and he managed to end his career with 6 yusho. You can only definitively conclude that Hosh was a failure of a Yokozuna (and thus decide to raise the standard) during the twilight of his career. It's because of this that the lower standard for Zuna promotion that Hosh set will continue to be used until his career is over. So if Kiri wins this basho, he has a stronger case for Zuna then Hosh had and thus there's no reason to not promote him. Right now is probably the easiest time to become a Zuna because of Hosh.
hosh is a better yokozuna than onosato despite the lack of zuna yushos
I rate each of their careers but for different reasons.
>>156889406>if Kiri wins this basho, he has a stronger case for Zuna then Hosh hadNo, he doesn't. A 12-3 is not a yusho equivalent. It would be lowering the standards further.>KakuryuThe difference is, Kakuryu had other well-performing high rankers to contend with. This current crop of upper sanyaku can't beat maegashira. We literally had more maegashira won tournaments in the last 5 years than in the previous 20. It has to stop at some point or half the makuuchi banzuke will be yokozunas.
>>156889434correct, it's simply because of this >>156888738
Kirishima doesn't have a consistent career record win rate to make 12-3 look good.
Mita and Nabatame are 4-0. We're gonna get Asahifuji kino very soon. Can't wait to see how Asahi handles the big gooner slaps.
>>156889658What percentage of Makuuchi does steroids now compared to when Chiyonofuji was in his prime?
Worth it.
Today I will remind them.
>>156890392not everyone can be fujinokawa
>>156890411And thank fucking Christ for that, I can speak for everyone including you when I say we all have Fujinokawa fatigue at this point. Mattas like that should come with a fine. Watching it back Fuji was lucky he even touched the ground again before losing.
>>156890473what the fuck did you just say
>>156890610>Trying to nodowa when you're 5'10 and the lightest in the divisionEmbarrassing.
>>156889658Kirishitma is not a zuna materialbetter wait for a year or two and we will have proper zuna out of Yoshinofuji or Fujiryoga (or Dan)
>>156890913Yoshi isn't rope material. He's a marginally more competent Oho; a joi regular who exists to fuck up good storylines.
I think Yoshinofuji has it in him to make Ozeki at some point.
>>156890473>muh mattaBrainlet talking point only peddled by pseuds like Spiffy
>>156891017https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Banzuke.aspx?b=193605#MHere's the banzuke for the start of Futabayama's 69 win streak, just look at what the Sanyaku weighs. There's two dudes under 100kg. One of them is 90kg! No fucking shit a competent Yokozuna could take their charges. Futabayama couldn't take a Gonoyama charge let alone Onosato Prime.
> Aonishiki's POV
>>156890473That was the most predictable henka I have ever seen.
>>156882717gr8 b8 m8
>>156892936u r8 it 8/8?
>>156888631kirishitma would be as much of a kinboshi dispenser as hoshitryu and onosharto
>>156889434he is a better technical wrestler than onosato because of his depth if skillshe is NOT a better yokozuna because the yusho speak for themselves
>>156893213>the yusho speak*speaksThe ones before promotion don't matter.
Reminder that Onosato was robbed on day 4 and he would be in the yusho race if not for that.
>>156893415no, anon was correct to use pluralit's the ones that didn't materialize and that number is too great. Hosh was in a playoff or JY for half the basho in the past year and couldn't seal the deal in any of them. It's not about him not having the one it's about how many times he's completely blown his shots.
>>156893415even so, yusho won as Yokozuna is already in onosato's favorof course it could change easily because it's only 1-0 at this point but hoshoryu does not instill any confidence
The title of Yokozuna loses all meaning if Kirishishit gets promoted after 3 straight Mickey Mouse bashos
>>156882678>VPN + Abemainstructions unclear, keep getting region blocked from the american site.
>wake up>shishi lostalways in the shit timeline
>>156893872It all depends on NSK anyway, but he beat yoko Hosh twice, whlie he is 0-10 against Onosato. And yes I know, Hosh did not beat Teru once.. Hosh should've never been promoted and Kiri is not (yet) convincing.
Leave kirishitma to me
>>156893470I'm fine with it because maybe it'll teach him to STOP GOING FUCKING BACKWARDS YOU'RE FUCKING HUGE WHY ARE YOU GOING BACKWARDS
>>156894499What rank could Haaland get if he bulked?
>>156894600Sanyaku easily and I'm not even joking.
>>156893470It wasn't a robbery, it was NSK's way to tell him to stop doing that shit over and over.
Why does he do it bros? To spite Kisenosato?
>>156886992how did this guy even lose? he had ring position, double underhooks, lower center of gravity, and mwashispeaking of which can anyone explain why they never seem to fight for double underhooks in sumo? im basically untrained at grappling but i would have guessed that would be a really strong and defensible spot to be in in sumo
>>156888332fujinokawa is cursed to do very well early tournament and then end up with a barely positive or losing record
>>156894815Yokozuna sumo.
>>156890473whats wrong with fujinokawa? too many henkas?
>>156894997The only time he doesn't matta is when he henkas. Negative hinkaku.
>>156894997he's a manlet so naturally he falls back to "crafty" methods and gets BTFO when he doesn't catch them off guard
>>156895018im new to sumo. whats wrong with matta like that? i assume hes doing it because hes very small and needs to get an aggressive tachiai or he gets steamrolled. it doesnt effect the outcome does it? or is he trying to be sneaky and start early to get huge advantage? while also not being called on it
DAN IS IN THE LEADDan yusho incoming His 3rd of the past 5For the next decade Dan will be the odds on favorite every basho
>>156895125Starting when your opponent isn't ready is against the rules.>it doesnt effect the outcome does it?Yes, it does.Whether he's doing it in poor faith or not is an unknown, but he does know that mattas don't get called all the time. There was a Shishi Kotoshoho fight not long back where the gyoji missed a matta so badly that the rikishi actually stopped fighting and agreed to restart because the gyoji hadn't said shit.
>>156883900There's a site called SumoCuts that has the basho up from Makushita via Natto and NHK vids. The problem is that all of the vids are hosted on obscure Russian video hosting platforms to avoid copyright and some of them may be prone to technical issues, but it is what it is. The order is completely random, it seems, as you can also watch bashos from 2012, 1991 and 1967. https://sumocuts.vercel.app/
>>156890710Considering that looks like Onosato the nodowa probably worked.The real embarrassment are people like you that post retard takes because they felt like they had to post something witty.
>>156895462Nodowa hasn't been effective against Onosato in about two years, coma-kun.
>>156895167he's one of the guys that is the worst at properly getting both hands down even when they don't call the matta. the second to set down usually is the reactor rather than the initiator but the greedy little bastard wants to have his cake and eat it too by jumping as soon as he gets close.
>>156894815Double front or deep double mawashi hold can beat double hooks or clamps unless you are huge and giga strong like Terunofuji and can either break their grip or left them off the ground by their arms alone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmuDHqOOpDMMatch starts about 5 minutes in, I thought I had a better quality webm of this but I can't find it. Teru has a couple clamp lift/walk outs like this one.>>156895486He has lost to Fujinokawa twice in 2026, the only times they have fought. I'd say the nodowa was effective. Onosato has only been in Makuuchi for just over 2 years, and the nodowa has continued to be effective when applied. Even then your original claim about nodowa being ineffective for shorter lighter rikishi is also laughable.You can always post less instead of posting whatever you have decided to convince yourself.

>>156896531The best
>>156896699>crowd shotIm surprised they didnt have the wrestlers wear the fucking shit on their face too.
>>1568958581) Onosato has been injured every time they've fought2) A 5'10 person can't nodowa a 6'4 lardassThe whole point of nodowa is to raise their centre of gravity (on top of the discomfort). You seriously think one of Fuji's shoulders can do jack shit to someone the size of Onosato? Fuck outta here retard.
>>156896782They should have moved the mawashi to the face for that yearthey could tie the sagari tassels directly to their dicks
>>156897002You can keep doubling down on your opinions, but that doesn't make you correct.How would you like to move the goal posts this time?
>>156897069>>156897002gentlemen please you can’t fight here this is the dohyo
>>156897002>>156897002>1) Onosato has been injured every time they've foughtAnd?>2) A 5'10 person can't nodowa a 6'4 lardassNow that's clearly a joke

>>156897372inb4 instead of throwing the salt they try to gargle it like it's each other's jizz
>>156897727Still not as bad as Onokatsu full of chowing down on chunks of salt.
im glad the shishi meme can finally die off
Some excellent sumo todayShodai v Takayasu stood out, a thrilling clash of veteransLmao @ Fujinokawas hamfisted henkaOnosato looked like Onosato for the first time in agesHosh put that dawg down Finally some yokozuna sumo from both
>>156898117The expectation from Onosato at this point is he wins out and goes 12-3Y. Anything less than that and people will be talking shit about him again. This Sanyaku should be absolute food for him at least, barring Hosh.
>>156897372kek
>>156898163Let's see how Onosato does when he no longer gets to feast on maegashitters in week 2.
>>156898929this.destroying maegashits is expected. nothing impressive.
>>156891168Cope and seethe
>>156895167>your opponent isn't ready>isn't readyThe other rikishi fought, thereby signaling consent and that they were ready. If they're not ready, then don't charge. Simple as.
>>156897188AFTER REVIEW, NUMBER TEN, TOCHINOSHIN, COVERED HIS MOUTH, DECISION IS RED CARD
Was there a situation when both rikishi tried to henka and ended up looking foolish?
The ref should just say "go" to start a bout. Then there would be no ambiguity.
>>156898989The Sanyaku IS a bunch of "maegashits", anon.
>>156899631yeah>>156899645No that's gay. The point of the whole pre-bout ritual is both wrestlers mutually consenting to a clean scrap. Having the ref decide when it starts is too sporty.
>>156899906lmao
>>156897002>A 5'10 person can't nodowa a 6'4 lardassPatently false.
>>156899645That's how it starts. Then before you know it you'll be telling them to dress the gyoji as milkmen. Tale as old as time.
>>156900106?
>>156900264Someone losing a match does not invalidate the move from working. You said it wasn't possible when it very much is.
>watching the replay when an injury happensy'all realise how disrespectful that is?
>>156900264I count five times in the image you posted where it worked, yes.
>>156899906>The point of the whole pre-bout ritual is both wrestlers mutually consenting to a clean scrap. Having the ref decide when it starts is too sporty.I agree but it is a bit weird they spend their whole life competing with a "go" from the ref until they reach pros.Also I feel like them gaming the early start like Fujinokawa and Yoshi do should be more frowned upon by the elders. They take some things like making the proper kenshō arm movement, stepping out of the dohyo on the exact step, etc. super rigorously but not that.
>>156900361Turn off VPN, Midnight.
>>156900433>I agree but it is a bit weird they spend their whole life competing with a "go" from the ref until they reach pros.That's a problem with amateur sumo, not pro sumo. High school and university sumo should align itself with the pro standard. This wasn't an issue when the norm was 16 year olds joining a stable and learning everything from scratch instead of high school and university forcing a bunch of bad habits.
>>156900547>high school and university forcing a bunch of bad habitsBut enough about Onosato going backwards and jumping after slapdowns.
emergency salt throw
>>156887061I'm just stunned at how he stopped being complete dogshit all of a sudden.What the fuck have they been feeding him lately?
>>156906718He's M14 and is this tournament's designated "bottom tier guy goes on a run against other bottom tier guys" guy.He started last September 6-2 before finishing 10-5, and went 6-9 in November against slightly tougher competition. It happens.
hold the line! We are getting pushed down by low IQ cucks that are shit posting about a consolation game.
>>156906718It seems he got his shoulder fixed with surgery. What Onosato should have done 1 year ago.
>>156906718It's funny to think that even with how uncoordinated his sumo has looked he's still made it to the top division and managed to stick around. Supposedly he had an injury fixed up so that might be a big help, it also looks like he might have had a bit more technique instilled in him.Maybe funny isn't the right word, it's scary, scary to think how good he can be.
>>156890710>>156895486>>156897002what on earth man
They can take my thread, but they can never take my spirit.
>>156906718I always believed in him
>>156908466I've never seen so many pepes in the catalog.
>>156908466When the match is over, sumo will be killed. It's inevitable. It's been a good run boys.
Try not to give up! Consider not surrendering!

>>156919305It's interesting because Fujinokawa tried to fool him into thinking he was going to do a normal tachiai by doing a really early matta beforehand.
>>156918357Fortunately for him, fighting spirit gives few fucks about physical imposibility. Rectitude matters, and a wrestler can lose from losing poise.
>>156919388im like a year into this, and kotozakura has been nothing but getting shiddon. I guess I missed his prime.
>>156920495He's never wielded the power that his size should give him, at times you could blame injury but the rest of the time I have no idea what his deal is.

>>156922201Ura always does poorly when he rockets up to the high maegashira ranks. He's good enough to shit on mid-to-low rank maegashira but his carnival tricks don't work on wrestlers who are actually good.We still love him, even if we know he's never going to be a champion.

It's interesting seeing how over the course of a year Mita and Takahara went from looking like fit athletes and turned into fat blobs. I understand that in reality the weight helps with sumo, but in no other sport do the amateurs look more fit than the pros
>>156888859one of these things is not like the others.Even though I'm not a mainline Shishi fan i really hope he does well, he's gifted with an excellent body for Sumo and every Basho he seems like he's getting less clumsy and more stable.
Mita fights are fake. I said it.

>>156925834You haven't seen the end of it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZZt5zXiN4I
damn shosei lost again. Fat lard was winded after 5 seconds.
Before the injury, Onosato was able to use morote-zuki, get a right-hand inside grip (migi-zashi), and use his left arm to force his opponent out (ottsuke).But since injuring his left shoulder, he can't do morote-zuki anymore. He can only charge with his right shoulder, and if his opponent gets a left-hand inside grip, he's completely helpless.It must hurt just to move his left shoulder. It's only natural that he can't play his brand of sumo when he's trying to avoid further injury.
If two yokozunas were from the same stable would they have them fight routinely or still not schedule them against each other
>>156927663Anyone from the same stable, or brothers if they're not part of the same stable, do not fight each other in regular bouts, and can only fight each other in playoffs, or non-honbasho like the Fuji TV tournament. This includes if both are yokozuna.
Good luck to the new recruits in their first jonokuchi basho in September.>>156927663They would not be scheduled against each other with the exception of playoffs.
>>156927663>>156927768Before you ask, a yokozuna-vs-yokozuna playoff where both were part of the same stable has only happened once in sumo history: Chiyonofuji beating Hokutoumi on July of 1989. The Hana brothers did face each other in a playoff once, but Wakanohana was an ozeki at the time.
>>156927773I'm rooting for that Eisei fellow, wild to see a brit heading down the path of Sumo.
