The thing is, doing one thing that makes absolutely no fucking sense has massive knock-on effects on the rest of the Banzuke.

>doing one thing that makes absolutely no fucking sense has massive knock-on effects on the rest of the Banzuke
You're getting it the wrong way round. They make as few strange moves as possible so as to be able to make stable, easy-to-guess placements for everyone else. Removing their ability to make those rare strange moves would turn every banzuke into a nightmare and a farce.

Big men like that need linebacker training. If they stick with just sumo training or something like judo then they get stood up and knocked off balance too easily, so they bloat up too much to try and compensate. The next big (in both senses) yokozuna is going to be a failed football prospect.

My grandfather smoked from the age of 9 to his death (of old age) at 86, but it's still reasonable to say that smoking shortens your lifespan.
>>
>>209587
my granfather who quit smoking in his 40s lived until he was 92. the other who didnt died in his 60s. i wouldnt have any memories of watching sumo with him if he didnt quit when he did i think
>>
>>209587
>shortens your lifespan
I'm certainly not arguing against that point. What I meant was only that he was atypically young to die even for someone of his profession, and the continuing survival of Konishiki and Musashimaru still makes him the minority when we factor in size.

The average life expectancy of a sekitori is supposedly 62, and they tend to die suddenly. Akebono was 47 when he had the heart attack, and essentially never left the hospital after it. Probably the pro wrestling turn played a significant role, if not the primary role.
>>
>>209591
I agree that he was very young, even for a (large) rikishi. However, averages and statistics in general can be very misleading and not at all intuitive. I don't have the data to say whether the average age at death for sekitori is low because of a lower percentage of men that make it into their 80s, or a higher number of men who don't make it out of their 40s, for example. I think when you consider that men exceeding 200kg are rare even in sumo, your sample size is going to be too small to draw a proper conclusion anyway. After all, fellow Hawaiian Takamiyama fought at above 200kg too, and he turned 80 this summer - for all we know, the superheavyweights might turn out to have a higher average life expectancy than the "average" sized rikishi. I suspect that this isn't the case, but either way, we'd need to look a good few decades into the future to find out exactly how much younger than average poor old Akebono was for his size.

I read that it takes 15 years for your lungs to recover so by 55 your granddad was safe (as in back to non-smoker levels), yeah.

Combat sports only matters in terms of upper body grappling. Stuff like judo and bokh obviously have it but not exclusively, whereas being a lineman in American football is literally all about upper body grappling while remaining mobile. There's a reason why the Hawaiians succeeded despite no wrestling experience, because they had football experience.
>>
>>209556
>The next big (in both senses) yokozuna is going to be a failed football prospect.
A failed football project could play in the AFL and still have a bigger salary than anybody in sumo.

>>209609
>There's a reason why the Hawaiians succeeded despite no wrestling experience, because they had football experience.
Akebono was a basketball player. Musashimaru played football but also competed in Greco-Roman wrestling.
>>
>>209585
>>209556
>>209613
not that anon, but linebacker training would have more mobility and agility training than judo or other things. would it necessarily transfer is debatable. half the things that would better you to take pursuit angles and coverage would be useless. also backers aren't supposed to get caught up on individual pushing matches, so thats not great example.
>failed football prospect.
unlikely since by the time you figure that out you are too old. if you didn't make it d1, its doubtful your just going to switch to sumo easily post highschool and meet all the requirements in time. its not like baseball where the mlb can just poach whoever they want

Smoking is only unhealthy for people over 40 years old. What the massive anti-tobacco propaganda movement says is at odds with the data collected on the topic. The single largest and longest term study of tobacco use found that people who quit smoking before age 40 have the same life expectancy as people who never smoked.
>>
>>209609
>being a lineman in American football is literally all about upper body grappling
most of the moves commonly used in sumo would be called as penalties in football, linemen would have a built up a lifetime of bad habits that they would have to unlearn to become effective sumo wrestlers.

We don't know what the timeline of events was. It could have been getting progressively worse over the year, culminating in the wallet stealing and MGS2 hijinks. Maybe he started out the same as Onosato has, and went further each time he wasn't punished.

That's not really a surprise. He wasn't doing any practice matches on tour, and his body is no longer capable of recovering from a 15-day tournament in just six weeks.
>>
>>209880
KiriSHITma's only shot at regaining ozeki is tons of injuries in the upper ranks. The banzuke was extremely weak back when he managed to squeak his way in the first time around. Taknosho back in the joi particularly spells bad news for KiriSHITma, Taknosho is lifetime 14-2 against him

Another great update on sumo news from Chris today. Is this really Keisho's last hurrah?
>>
>>209950
I can't imagine him getting 10 wins. If he does it'll be as Chris quoted him as saying - ugly, dishonourable sumo for the sake of winning at all costs. Once you abandon "My Brand of Sumo" then it's all over. He can't honestly expect to be able to henka his way through every other tournament in the hopes that his neck miraculously heals itself and he can return to form. If I was his master, I'd tell him to avoid the win-at-all-costs mentality and focus on providing the crowd with the strongest and most dignified sumo he can still manage, and retire immediately after the tournament if he fails to reach 10 wins.

>>209952
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even make it the full 15 days.
If he starts 1-3 or something then he might as well just pack it in. There's no dignity in handing out free wins. Better to be honest with yourself, ignore your ego, and accept that you can no longer compete.
>>
>nabatame had to do his juryo promotion party despite already being demoted to makushita
humiliation ritual
>>
>>210053
The last time Takakeisho was relatively health-ish was in January 2023. He somehow managed to win another Basho in September but he was clearly not healthy when he did it.

Since then, he is losing to a bunch of people he would steamroll if he had a half decent health. The longer he stays the worse his record will be.
I think even if he somehow manages to henka his way to 10 wins he should just do a surgery as soon as he gets it and return when he is fully healthy, even if it takes a drop to lower maegashira or upper juryo if he takes a year off.
A fully healthy Keisho should be able to return to Ozeki in a year from upper juryo.


But being realistically he should just retire. Being the 2nd best non-Yokozuna ever with 5JY and 3 Y as Ozeki, plus 3JY and 1Y as upper maegashira and komosubi/sekiwake is a pretty good career.
>>
>>
>>
>>210056
He's not going to return to anywhere near his peak strength, even if he takes two years off. Takakeisho is a man who has pushed himself further than he should have been able to in pursuit of success, in a similar way to someone like Ronnie Coleman (currently doing his best to relearn how to walk, as far as I know). Takakeisho has burned himself out and broken his body in ways that he'll be feeling for the rest of his life. Maybe if he'd made it to Yokozuna and been able to take time off when he really needed it things would have turned out differently.

>Maybe if he'd made it to Yokozuna and been able to take time off when he really needed it things would have turned out differently.
Yeah. Being able to take time off without fear of demotion would allow him to heal up, but with his small size and cannonballing style he was never going to last. I doubt he would have lasted to age 30 in any case.

He should retire, get his neck fixed, start losing weight, and focus on training up the next generation. He's quite popular so recruiting shouldn't be too difficult.

>>210113
What makes you say he’s a bad teacher. All the guys from his stable seem to like him and some have quit since having to merge with isegahama.
>>
>>210122
>What makes you say he’s a bad teacher.
He let some big psycho terrorize all his students for a long time
>>
>>210122
It's not necessarily that he's a bad teacher (although he seems to be doing much better under experienced supervision), it's that even though he's unquestionably the greatest rikishi of all time, that doesn't translate into being the greatest oyakata of all time. Conversely, there are and always have been many stables run by comparatively mediocre rikishi that have nonetheless churned out star after star. As a case in point, Isegahama-oyakata reached Yokozuna at the ripe old age of 30, spent only two years at the rank, and won la mere 4 tournaments. He has successfully raised Harumafuji and Terunofuji, both of whom far eclipsed their master's achievements. A poster from 1992, when Asahifuji retired, might have said something like "Come to Asahifuji Beya and learn to lose over and over again to the san'yaku".
>>
Churanoumi looked sharp in Kise beya practice bouts in their video dated Sept 3. Ura and Kinbozan did not participate.

Matchups for the 1st two days are out for jakuuchi and day 1 for juryo. Takerufuji opens up against the chinaman.

Shodai back in the joi, last time he was ranked that high he pulled off a 4-11, but still managed to score a kinboshi. Thats a huge asterisk on Teru's 9th basho as far as I'm concerned. Losing to the 4-11 guy is not yokozuna sumo.

Prediction: Onokatsu basho, 2024 seems to be the year of the noob

You sound like a zoomer fag. Hazing has always been a part of sports until the last 10 years. Little shits need to learn their place.
>>210130
How can you judge hakuhos production after being stripped of his beya after only a few years? The japs hate hakuho because he is a mongol and punished him way too hard because of it. Gay ass onosucko is hazing all the little shits in his beya and hasn’t even gotten a slap on the wrist.
>>
>>210158
>Little shits need to learn their place.
They did. Their place is in the stable, and Hokuseiho's is going to be in a Family Mart because he's a fucking moron.
>>
>>210158
Hakuho broke the cardinal rule of being a shisho, which is not staying in your own house. They're called "heya" for a reason. How it's supposed to go is it's supposed to be the shisho's actual home, and he hosts the wrestlers, junior okayata, and other personnel within them. Therefore, someone like Onosato gets leniency because it's assumed that the shisho has proper supervision over his own home and knows firsthand whether Onosato's actions are appropriate or not; any disciplinary actions are therefore only for the sake of saving face among the sumo-ignorant public. Hakuho did not live in his own home and had no supervision over it, therefore the actions of Hokuseiho were considered to be the result of Hakuho's lack of supervision resulting in his own home devolving into anarchy.

I wonder if his run as sole yokozuna shitting on everyone caused him to huff his own farts, and his injury in 2015 reminded him he was mortal, that there were serious contenders coming for him including the other two yokozuna at the time, and that he needed to last 5 more years to make it to the Olympics (which ended up being longer).

Some people may not like it, but the answer to this question is undoubtedly Onosato. His trajectory is fantastic, and unlike fellow rising stars Hakuoho and Takerufuji, he's actually increasing his rank rather than getting injured and falling back to Juryo - so far, anyway. Personally, I think Ozeki is a certainty, possibly before the year is out, and I think it's highly likely that he'll be the Yokozuna to beat well into the 2030s.
>>
>>
>>210458
>trajectory
Nobody is rising faster than Aonishiki. Onosato's 9-6 last time out suggests that he might have finally hit a level where the competition is on his level, but it was probably just too much post yusho distractions interfering with his training.
>>
>>210513
Aonishiki has thus far only faced low-rankers - while he's certainly one to watch it's far too early to speculate on his potential in the top division.
>>
>>210415
>are there any sumo wrestlers worth talking about right now?
Takerufuji. Oonosato is the big topic right now because he hasn't gotten injured yet, but Takerufuji exhibits a calm in his sumo which is almost clinical and which allows him to beat anyone. Any time Oonosato gets into trouble, he seems to panic. Of the two, I would expect Takeru to have the longer (and superior) tenure at a high rank.

East slightly outranks West, and East is printed on the right side of the banzuke - therefore the older banzuke should be to the right of the newer one, befitting its seniority.

Looks like Nabatame is probably 5th or 6th in line for promotion to juryo, but it seems like there will be a lot of promotions to juryo this time around.
If Ms4e get 4-3 & Ms5w gets 5-2, who takes precedent? Either way there is no chance Nabatame will end up above J14, so he'll need KK or at least 7-8 to stay in the division.
>>
>>211483
5-2 is a lot 'more' than 4-3. They're moving up or down by 5+ spots in makushita as opposed to juryou/makuuchi. Nabatame won't make it to juryou for Kyushu.

btw I hope Nobehara makes it to juryou one day, but i think Soma will surpass him, he can move to makushita if he gets a KK in Kyushu.

Kayo limped off after his win, hope he is OK, he could be the next Takakeisho

Does anyone in /sumo/ have experience with visiting stables to view morning practice? I know Arahsio-beya allows people to view training from outside for free, but the information online about other stables is inconsistent at best and missing at worst. I assume that there will be no practice for the next week or so, but that it will resume thereafter at most stables. There's inconsistent information about other stables allowing you to view morning practice if you call ahead, ask, and potentially pay a fee.

I'm visiting family, but I was too late to catch the fall basho unless I dropped off my belongings, immediately got on a train, and woke up at 5AM the next day to get unreserved tickets - and the basho ended up being decided the day before regardless.

Also big F for Takakeisho.
>>
>>211491
I remember Futagoyama-beya mentioning in one of their videos that they'd limited practice visits to members of the supporters' club only, presumably because they were too popular.

>How do we rate the tournament?
4 stars out of 5 from me.

>Highlights
Onosato's total domination has people dreaming of a yokozuna who isn't perma-injured
Wakatakakage seems to be completely recovered from his ACL surgery and should be back in the sanyaku for November
Tamawashi got his iron man record
Kirishima seems to have recovered from the injuries that cost him ozeki
Oho seems to be settling in as a joi mainstay

>Lowlights
Takakeisho. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Neither ozeki looked great and KZK's performance fell off a cliff in week 2.
Atamifuji feels like he's hit a ceiling.
>>
>>211503
The only one that seems to be Yokozuna tier is Onosato.
Hoshoryu and Kotonowaka seem to be "good Ozeki". Constant 9-6 results for a good time. This is not bad at all, but I don't think they will reach the peaks that Keisho did.
>>
>>211517
It was a decent basho. Nothing too crazy, good or otherwise, but it's definitely setting some trends for how makuuchi div is going to look like in the near future.
I'm looking forward for Chiyoshoma and Takerufuji contending in makuuchi now that they made it. I'm not as excited for Shishi at his current skill level, there's something unrefined about his fighting style that makes me think he'll struggle without making some major changes.
See you in November.
>>
>>211521
Only other one was Minanogawa back in 1933/34 but that was long before the concept of an "ozeki run" was a thing.
>>
>>211512
The technique prize is often given out for displaying mastery of one particular technique, so Abi could get if for nodowaing like a boss if he did it enough and won enough matches. Onosato's is justified because he did the same thing in almost every match and won almost all of them even though all of his opponents clearly knew what was coming. Its not a prize for whipping out obscure kimarite, but that is one way to earn the prize.
>>
>>211523
>Atamifuji feels like he's hit a ceiling.
He is the youngest guy in makuuchi and he has been M1 or M2 for 5 straight 'shos, give him at least until he is Onosato's age to develop fully before passing judgement.

8/10, Really good basho, most of the rikishi I like got good records or at least looked kinda competent, have to deduct a point because Terunofuji wasn't there, would have been nicer to see Onosato vs Terunofuji, that's the real test to see if he's really at Yokozuna level. Also have to deduct another point because the Ozekis performed way below expectations, Hoshoryu woke the fuck up for a while after losing to Oho but he still looked like he lacked focus, Kotozakura looked straight up injured and was expecting him to have a MK at the end. Great to see Wakatakakage didn't miss a beat and he's still at JOI level, also Oho improved a lot, great to see him doing the sumo everyone expected that he did from the beginning
>>
>>211568
>Kotozakura looked straight up injured
Both of them looked injured, keep in mind Hoshoryu had to miss the last three days of July. At this immediate moment he's pretty clearly in "get to 8 without making things worse" mode until whatever's nagging him has healed. Hopefully they're both better for November.

So they do, I had only checked youtube. Maybe I should start badgering them for more. I also think they should AT LEAST show juryo as well and even a few highlight makushita bouts too.

Look at the response Futagoyama gets for just doing a little bit for the international fans. 350k subscribers and the only one of their wrestlers who gets screen time from NHK is Roga. Compare to other stables like Tamanoi who don't do any translation at all and have 7.5k subscribers.

>>
>>210130
You picked a terrible example to prove your point when all you needed to do was go back to the previous Miyagino (who was right there).

Peaked at maegashira #13, only had 2 basho in the top division ever, spent more time in makushita than he did as a sekitori. Yet he was the only guy to see the potential in baby Hakuho (who was passed up by every oyakata who saw him) and raised him into the greatest yokozuna of all time.

Have you been watching the same channel? Kise channel has done multiple mini-interviews, asking the rikishi things like their favourite sports, hobbies, and the like (Higohikari's hobby is apparently listening to a single song), they've done episodes of them preparing to travel to and from tournament venues, and so on. IN one episode there was segment where they simply made Takano eat cream puffs because they thought he looked cute doing so. They regularly film their senshuraku parties and most episodes contain a reasonable amount of "behind-the-scenes" content. Futagoyama channel is better and more consistent, yes, but you do Kise a disservice by saying there's nothing to it but eating and training.

I would wait until Takerufuji gets ozeki before naming an era. For all we know, Takerufuji will just be perpetually injured and the questions we'll all ask ourselves when his career's over are "How good could he have been if he'd just stayed healthy?"

I don't actually see him as having the same ceiliing as Onosato even if he can stay healthy. He seems new for most sumo fans, but he's actually already 25 because he went to uni (older than Onosato, even older than Hoshoryu) and he's actually a little undersized for a sanyaku-tier wrestler at 183cm 143kg.

I want to see a great rivalry between to yokozuna, we all do, but there's also a reason those truly great rivalries are so rare.
>>
>>211655
>He seems new for most sumo fans, but he's actually already 25 because he went to uni
>even older than Hoshoryu
He's older than Hoshoryu by a month but made it to the top division in a fraction of the time. He didn't have tsukedashi status like Onosato, yet made it to the top division only 1 basho after him despite having to start from jonokuchi. Unlike Hakuoho who had major injuries since high school, Takerufuji's injury seemed relatively minor and he's completely recovered.

While it may be premature to call it an era, the guy absolutely deserves the hype. There's no reason to not believe the sky's the limit other than general sumo pessimism. In which case Onosato crashing and burning is completely on the table as well.
>>
>>211657
Your points are all valid, but I'm thinking about it more in terms of when you fall off a cliff. Eventually you just get to the point where age prevents you from healing as efficiently.
Takerufuji will be 26 by the time he gets to ozeki if he does it as quickly as Onosato did. That's a two year gap.

Hiro has nothing but free time between bashoes, he should be putting out two a week minimum.

> I'm thinking about it more in terms of when you fall off a cliff. Eventually you just get to the point where age prevents you from healing as efficiently.
It's also important to consider wear-and--tear. As late starters with extensive amateur training, both of them have far less damage on their body than any mid-20s someone who's been in the Kyoukai since age 16-17.

I'm not capable of doing the math, but I'm fairly certain that university/corporate sumo guys who make it to sekitori on average wrestle to a later age than their peers because of this. Churanoumi and Tobizaru are both the same age as Teru. Kage is older than Takakeishou.

>>211676
>As late starters with extensive amateur training, both of them have far less damage on their body than any mid-20s someone who's been in the Kyoukai since age 16
Takerufuji has already been though several severe injuries in high school and college, just because he wasn't in the pro ranks didn't stop the injuries from happening and they still work against him just as much as if he was a pro. The college & high school clubs train just as hard if not harder than the Kikuchis & Keigas do. Injuries is why Takerufuji wasn't able to qualify for tsukedashi status and had to start at the bottom. That accident with Asanoyama wasn't a fluke, Takerufuji is glass fragile from the waist down, his incredible upper body is how he compensates for that.
>>
>>211680
>just because he wasn't in the pro ranks didn't stop the injuries from happening
I didn't think or say it would, but a rikishi can actually recover from his injuries when he's an amateur.

>and they still work against him just as much as if he was a pro
Hard disagree. Recovery time is about more than just the time until a guy is technically physically capable of moving again. An amateur can test himself at various levels instead of jumping right back into real competition. He can stop for a while if things don't feel right. When recovery is done correctly, injuries don't linger the way they do in professional sumo.

i saw all their vids, but it just doesn't hit the spot like futagoyama does. i am not sure why. The senshuraku parties are meh, it's always the same and the introductions of rikishi one by one are meh. SOmething's missing.

Makushitter to Juryo are always announced in the week following the basho. The reason is that the new Juryo wrestlers would start getting a salary (at least 15x the makushitter money) and they want to give the new guys a 2 month headstart on the salary. Juryo to makushitter demotees are announced with the general banzuke again due to salary reason and give them extra 2 months salary.

When did sumo tournaments start using the Swiss system? Was it adopted copying the West or did they come up with it Independently?
>>
>>211807
It isn't really a true Swiss system, but I have not seen any evidence either way as to whether the Kyoukai would have taken inspiration from that. While Japan loved foreign books, chess would have been a very weird pull.

Anyway: from the start of the yuushou period (1909) until the Shunjuuen Incident (1932), matches were East vs West, but against comparably ranked opponents whenever possible. Shunjuen saw the Kyoukai panic due to a lack of possible matches, dissolving the East-West for what was essentially the modern 'Swiss' system, a decision which held until 1940. At that time, Dewanoumi had become half the makuuchi banzuke, encouraging them to flip it back to East-West. By the start of the post-war occupation, Dewanoumi had lost its ridiculous stranglehold, and whatever powers that controlled sumo at that point reinstalled the modern system in 1947.

Incidentally, the Shunjuuen incident was what caused Onosato I to retire.

how tf can you be bad at making chanko, it's just throwing all the shit into a pot and let it boil.

Odd way to characterize it.

It was a strike by the rikishi because the sumo association of the time was extremely opaque, didnt tell them what they earned and just kept most of it, among other issues. They cut off their topknots and sent them to the sumo association.

The sumo association came within a cunt hair of going bust as they had a handful of top wrestlers left. The tournament after the strike was a huge disaster and didnt make any money.

The strikers formed their own association, which petered out after a while.

However you cant say they were ever in the wrong. At least read history before you try telling people what it is, you dumb asshole.
>>
>>211837
He never said the Shunjuen strikers were in the wrong. His post accurately reports the facts of the incident - prominent rikishi went on strike and threatened to resign, the JSA ignored their demands. It isn't any kind of moral judgement, which ironically means that his version of events is more accurate and unbiased than yours. History is about recording what happened, not judging it.

The promotion is just a small part of his luck, the large number of promotions means that nearly all of his matches in November will come against those who were either in makushita for Aki or had terrible records in juryo. he might end up pulling off better than a 4-11, even a KK isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Demands were made, to which the JSA responded dismissively. Here's a list of demands and responses.
>https://www.sumofanmag.com/content/Issue_2/Rikishi_of_Old-Demands.htm
After expressing their displeasure, many rikishi sent in retirement papers and cut their hair. The JSA responded with the formal expulsion of those involved in the strike, including but not limited to the men who submitted retirement papers. "Went lmao and booted them from the banzuke" is a reasonable way to describe the JSA's actions. It doesn't ascribe blame for the incident on the strikers or the JSA, and it doesn't clearly champion either side. You, on the other hand, are quite obviously biased in favour of the strikers, and your original response to Anon was aggressive and patronising, as was your response to me afterwards. You can't expect anyone to take you seriously as a historian, amateur or otherwise, if you have a clearly biased take on things and resort to insults when people don't share your bias. You're not here as an educator, a mentor, or a moral authority of any kind, so you should keep your judgements to yourself.

Asakoryu is the same height and 40kg less and will probably be J1 for Kyushuu, or even makuuchi. Nabatame is funny etc, but I'd rather pick Nobehara for sekitori. I hope he makes it one day.
>>
>>211913
Size does not equal strength. Nabatame seems to be somewhat interested in lifting, but the numbers he's putting out are nowhere near the numbers a proper weightlifter or strongman ought to be putting out at that size. Being charitable to him, it's fair to say that there's a lot of room for improvement. Hopefully his poor performance was mostly injury-related, and after a year or so of bouncing between Makushita and Juryo, he'll start climbing up towards the promotion zone. It's worth remembering that he's still only 22, and even if he does job for another year or even two years, he'll still be barely entering his prime.

I think of all the rikishi at Futagoyama, the ones with sanyaku potential are Roga and Kikuchi. I think Roga could make Sekiwake at least if he keeps up his current improvements.
>>
>>211923
Wakamiyabi, Kotakiyama & Keiga. They're the tallest ones. Kikuchi stands a shot a still growing quite a bit. Mita is short, but well trained and was good enough to qualify for makushita tsukedashi, so he probably shouldn't be ignored.

Hakuho lost to Orora in 2001, when he was just a few months older than Kikuchi is now. It's far, far too early to even speculate on Kikuchi's ceiling. For now, he's got a great attitude and he's looking nicely bulked up after just a couple of months on a chanko diet.

You aren't wrong, but I don't feel like any of them have that serious competitive/warrior spirit. Compared to Roga or even Mita now, they feel less committed. Often low energy in the practice videos I've seen but that seems more the rule than the exception at Futagoyama.

That was after grinding his way up to Sekiwake for three years and then taking another nine tournaments of improvement to make Ozeki.

At their respective peaks at full health, Akebono, no doubt. No one his size should have been able to move as fast as he did.

In terms of overall career, though, Musashimaru probably had the better career. It was longer and he was more durable. If Akebono hadn't made yokozuna so early, it's possible his career would have gone like Takakeisho's, where injuries derailed his upward progress. Akebono only once managed to fight all six tournaments in a year as yokozuna.
Musashimaru probably could have lasted longer if that wrist injury didn't turn out to be a career-killer.

What makes the NSK real sumo? After all, it started as Tokyo Sumo, and sumo originated in Kyoto. Various sumo organizations, including Kyoto Sumo, existed for hundreds of years before folding. Why should Kyoto sumo be illegitimate?
The Tokyo organization doesn't get to be the inheritor of the legacy of 'real sumo' simply because they were the last man standing. As far as I am concerned, this here is the last bastion of what our sport once truly was.
>>
>>212207
>>
>>212207
The NSK is the result of a merger between Tokyo and Osaka sumo, which were the only two major organizations at the time. It holds legitimacy from that, approval from the imperial court, and historical legitimacy from shogunate approval and the lineage of the Yoshida family, who created almost all of the customs and rituals you associate with "real" sumo in the first place. Everything else is divided into "sport sumo" like high school, university, and world amateur competitions, and "shrine sumo" which is associated with regional festivals. Only the NSK properly combines the two, and only the NSK has the legitimacy to do so.

>The NSK is the result of a merger between Tokyo and Osaka sumo, which were the only two major organizations at the time
They were the only major organizations because the other organizations were smaller, not because of any measure of significance. If you look at their jungyo schedules from 100+ years ago, they are regularly competing against Nagasaki Sumo, Kyushu Sumo, Kyoto Sumo etc.

>It holds legitimacy from that, approval from the imperial court, and historical legitimacy from shogunate approval
Political actors acknowledge bodies which have power, irrespective of the status of those bodies with lineage. Kyoto never stopped being the fountainhead. Moreover, see the next point.

>Yoshida family, who created almost all of the customs and rituals you associate with "real" sumo in the first place
This is false and was recognized academically over a century ago. Here is a more recent paper on Yoshida Zenzaemon the 19th's influence. The shogunate refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Yoshida Tsukasa sumo history. Over some years, political pressure forced them to legitimize a legacy which they had earlier proven to be fictitious.
https://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110001919260/

>Only the NSK properly combines the two, and only the NSK has the legitimacy to do so.
The NSK has no legitimacy beyond its quasi-legal monopoly. Both in late Meiji and in the second half of the 20th century, political agents (Itagaki Taisuke et al) propped up the Kyokai when it was going to fail and when its existence was technically in violation of laws.

There are often several different routes to the top of a mountain. Mountaineers will track records of who climbed any given route first, or fastest, and make clear distinctions between different routes. They will also track ascents in different seasons. However, whichever route you take, if you see it through until the end you will arrive at the summit. Sumo is the same. It doesn't matter who is doing it or where it is done, as long as the basic rules are the same, it is the same contest - two rikishi attempting to push each other down or out. You can and should argue that certain forms and tournaments are more prestigious than others. You can certainly claim that one kind of sumo is more authentic, or a more direct descendant of ancient sumo. But sumo is still sumo.
>>
>>212250
>as long as the basic rules are the same, it is the same contest
Then sumo was invented in the early 1900s, because the rules were still changing then. Draws were a frequent occurrence. Shikiri continued until both rikishi wanted to fight - it could be a few seconds or several hours until you saw the next match. Hair pulls were allowed if they were unintentional.

I'm not an expert in any way, but I thought the bottleneck was the Kokugikan? Except in exceptional circumstances sekitori hold their danpatsu-shiki in the Kokugikan, and since there are sumo tournaments and other martial arts events being held throughout the year, there's a limited number of time slots for the ceremonies, so when the backlog built up they couldn't just sweep it away after the pandemic and they've been plugging away at it ever since.

Did Hawaiian rikishi significantly influence the raising of the average wrestler weight in sumo? I feel like they are often blamed for it, but maybe they just sped it up. Do we think it would've been any different if Mongolians came first? I'd like to dig up the raw numbers somewhere, though.

Wrestlers don't get any say in their hairstyle. You might as well ask if a wrestler could choose to wear something other than a mawashi. The hairdressers will always do their best to ensure that everyone's topknot looks the same, but this isn't always possible. An even better example than Hokutofuji is Roho, who towards the end of his career effectively did have the samurai topknot you're talking about due to his rapid-onset baldness.
>>
>>212369
Removing the skin is probably a mistake for a sumo wrestler. animals that want to gain weight and have a large supply of other animals to eat always focus on eating the skin (and the underlying subcutaneous fat that comes off when the skin is peeled away) and ignoring the rest of the meat except maybe the brains if they can get it because they're nice and fatty too. Skinless chicken is a low calorie, high protein food for body builders who want a high protein food which will allow them to get maximum muscle definition. Roga is already on the small side for makuuchi, he'd be better off if he was 20kg bigger.
>>
>>212586
Sumo-tier weight gain doesn't come from the protein, it comes from the carbs and alcohol. Whether he eats the meat skinless or not isn't going to make that much of a difference, if he wants to simply get bigger then he needs to eat more rice and noodles.

He probably just doesn't like them. They already use plenty of supplements after all.

>>
>>212755
Even the weakest perma-jobber of a sekitori is an absolute beast of a man, or he wouldn't be there. Anyone who can hold his own in the top division deserves as much credit as you can muster.
>>
Is it just me or does there seem to be a LOT of standing around in practice videos?
I feel like these guys need a second dohyo just so people can practice more efficiently
>>
>>212760
To be fair, with the training and intensity these guys do you need pauses, so the guys take turns. The other reason is that most heya are in prime Tokyo real estate and having more than onbe dohyo is expensive. There is a reason Kisenosato built his dohyo in bumfuck nowhere Ibaraki.
>>
>>212762
Real estate considerations are one thing for horizontal space and building footprints, but there's nothing stopping a stable from having three or four storeys, with a dohyo on each floor, is there?
>>
>>212764
not when the dohyo in the stables also need to be made from clay. No upper story will hold tons of clay. In the buildings these heya are, they can only put the dohyo on the ground floor.
>>
>>212766
Why do they need to make a practice ring out of tons of clay?
>>
>>212772
Even if we ignore the tradition of it, a clay dohyo would have a specific texture and grippiness that would inform a rikishi's movements. Practicing on pads or something would train them to expect something different.
>>
>>212774
I'm sure that it's good and useful to get experience on a dohyo that matches tournament conditions as closely as possible. But if there are twenty men in your stable and only two of them can use the dohyo at a time, any benefits gained from an authentic surface are far outweighed by their inability to actually fight enough practice bouts. I can't see any downsides of having additional dohyos, even if they're just ropes arranged into a rough circle.
>>
>>212776
I don't disagree with you, really.

>tfw you will never be an oyakata
>>
>Atamifuji has osteoarthritis at 22 years old

damn dude
>>
>>212776
The shit you're saying *kind of* makes sense but the dohyo space isn't the bottleneck. Years ago when they were both active yokozuna Hakuho and Harumafuji gave an interview where they were asked what they thought made them hard for the new crop to beat and they both answered that the younger rikishi were doing much fewer bouts per day, say 20 where they would do 50-60 or more. So obviously it's not that the ring is just booked up continuously and locking people out, there's spare capacity for more wrestling even with the one dohyo.
>>

>>212766
>No upper story will hold tons of clay
they only need a few inches thickness of clay for a practice space, you're talking about a few hundred pounds of clay. meanwhile they have thousands of pounds of wrestlers sleeping in the upper floors. they have high-rises with rooftop swimming pools in tokyo
>>
>>212778
>fat bastard has fatbastarditis

>>
>>212785
Building owners would care if you were pouring salted water over a surface constantly. That would seep into the actual floor and corrode shit.
>>
>>212788
I'm pretty sure the building is owned and built by Futagoyama. I was looking at it on google earth and it was built in like 2015
>>
>>212760
>Is it just me or does there seem to be a LOT of standing around in practice videos?

Personal initiative and motivation is a huge part of Sumo. While rikishi are put through regular training sessions, they are expected to go beyond the daily routines and develop themselves based on their own personal needs. It's that initiative and motivation that seperates the best from the rest.
>>
>>212790
Maybe not the building owner but I bet it'd be against local/prefectural building codes.

A number of heya have channels, and none of the other ones are even slightly successful by comparison. The Futagoyama boys are probably just distinctly likable.

Onosato deserves to be promoted to O1E.
A sekiwake who goes 13-2 deserves more than a mere 1 rung promotion especially when compared to a couple of mediocre 8-7 ozekis.
Sticking Onosato at O2W is far less than what he has earned, let the 8-7 losers take the demotion they deserve. There wasn't even a yokozuna in the basho, all of those 7 losses came against people below their own rank
>>
>>213094
Yeah, they should demote people who had winning records because you really like a new guy. That's how this sport deeply rooted in tradition should work.
>>
>>213096
There shouldn't be any such thing as "O2W". In a sane world, there aren't enough wins to go around to allow so many people to reach and hold ozeki simultaneously, with none of them rising to yokozuna. Sumo is in a clown era the likes of which haven't been seen since the introduction of the modern tournament format, and in times like these, tradition must be overruled for the sake of dignity.

I wonder what the maximum number of Ozeki you could have in a tournament would be, if you assumed 33 wins for a sekiwake guaranteed it?
>>
>>213147
Hypothetically 15 or 16 because half would trade winning scores and half losing scores while another sekiwake went on a run. As long as they got 8-7 every other tournament then they keep their rank.
>>
>>213148
Yeah but before you could get that equilibrium going you'd need guys winning MORE than 8 to get the initial promotion. I feel like if we picked the right initial condition I could just make a python script to solve this or something, if I were any good at that kind of thing.

Hypothetically you could just have one guy at a time go on an ozeki run. It'd almost a decade to reach critical mass, but it's possible.

Of course they can ride a motorcycle. They just can't drive one.
>>
>>213171
I still think the "glue in the wallet" story was a euphemism, or at least the tip of the iceberg. Hokuseiho was a top division mainstay at a young age, and his sheer size was enough to ensure he'd keep bringing in the crowds and the money for years to come. If they were just gunning for Hakuho and needed an excuse, they could have got him for something else, or gone after him and said that Hokuseiho was a good lad at heart that had been let down by lax disciplinary standards. You're not going to throw away a naturally gifted rikishi with enormous potential just for some schoolboy pranks, even if you do despise his master. Not with the state of the recruitment numbers these days. I think Hokuseiho was being much more heinous than has been let on, and a deal was made with his victims to fire him in disgrace rather than have him criminally prosecuted. I certainly wouldn't want to meet Onosato in a dark alleyway, but I haven't heard any rumours that his misconduct was anywhere near comparable to the stated or unstated wrongdoings by Hokuseiho.
>>
>>213179
Did anything come of those rumours about Hokuseiho using a spray can and lighter to threaten his stablemates?
>>
>>213179
>>213180
I'm sure we'll never know the extent of his actions.
It's "resolved" so everything gets swept away and buried never to be talked about again.
The wallet glueing was the easily pointed too headline and will continue to get memed because it's unusual without being severe.
I got the feel that the Hokuseiho conduct was more of a quantity of bullying events over a long period of time, instead of single severe events.
That reminds me, there are reports that he was generally a shithead even in highscool.

It's a combat sport. Injuries are going to happen. Knowing how to deal with them and having the will to do so is inherently going to be a big part of what makes a great rikishi. That said, some guys are just naturally more prone to injury and have a harder time recovering physically. This puts them at a disadvantage, but, just like height/weight, it's not insurmountable. While I do think turning the stream off for every injury is an idiotic way to handle things, rikishi should be (and actually are) encouraged to not harm their opponents any more than is neccessary to get the win.
