WE ARE SO BACKHoshoryu losing the yusho after that disgraceful henka is perfectly fine for me. A shame Waka lost his ozeki chance but he'll get another nex tyear i bet. Aonishiki is cruising for the most consistent ozeki of all time. Kotoshoho was disgraceful. Yusho hangover whatever sure but not fucking 12 losses
Do they always keep handing random shit to the yusho winner for 30 minutes after the last fight?
>>243374Yes. What color was it?
>>243375Green
>>243376I wonder what flavor that would be. Pistachio?
>>243374Yup. those are given by random orgs or countries. Like the arabs giving a year worth of gas, or the french giving the macarons.There's also the president cup that was given during one of Trump visit to jump back with Abe. Some obscure weirdo won that basho
>>243377Matcha probably.
>>243378
>>243379Could be. French macarons though.

>>243385fuck forgot about ura. hes probably gonna be m3 instead of tamawashi
All around great basho. Glad both Yokozuna had a strong showing. Although some of Hoshoryu's wins were a little disappointing. However, I am a henka hater, so I have strong feelings there. Wakatakakage and Kirishima... Whatever happened there? I wonder if they will save one of them from falling too far, or if they will give Komusubi to Hakuoho. He's earned it.
>GGs on taking the big guy down twice>GGs on taking the mong down twice
OONOSATO won
Honshoryu wins the first match by pushing and thrusting Onosato outOnosato wins the playoff with a throw
>>243392Bit of a stretch to call that a throw but sure.
>>243393>>243392It wasn't. Yoritaoshi. Frontal crush out. Funny enough, it was what I predicted for the kimarite of the first bout. >>>/sp/151033781
>>243394Makes sense.
Ohobros, we actually had a decent basho. Hope he doesn't shit himself in november that but that's been how it goes after his better showings.
>>243378The most cursed image
>>243397He was 4-4 after day 8 and that was all of the sanyaku. In week 2, he won all the matches he was expected to. He was pretty commanding against the rest of the joi. Nothing seemed particularly fluky.His progress is always frustratingly slow, but there’s always progress.
Hoshoryu fans are finally showing their true colours after today. Evil people.
>>243400>picCrazy, how can you watch the replay and say that? The mono-ii was given out of pity.
Imagine being this obsessed over some random redditor, jesus christ
>>243394but at least he wasnt just pressing W on his keyboard, you know what i meantits just a shitty meme ._.
Sumofoodbros... they totally collapsed this basho
my fav hiro quote is "what a sumo!"
>>243400Please stop bringing that trash here.
>>243404Takahara jinxed them when he talked about winning the championship. 4-3 in Jonokuchi. Sad.
>>243404I can't wait for the mopey slopkino. Hoping Roga assaults the cameraman.
I hope Zak is okay but I really wished he would go the Terunofuji route and get knee surgery being he’s safe from kadoban he could sit out the next a year and not fall extremely far like teru. Teru fell so far because he started his rehab at sekiwake.

>>243414i kinda like it
>>243423
>>243408I wouldn't even bet on him beating the cameraman
>>243423>>243426Oops, also Wakanami in the 60s. 2-13
>>243423it's a 3way tie between Wakanami, Takatoriki, and Kyokutenho all at 2-13. The problem with this is that Kotoshoho is now the single runner-up in terms of literally diarrheaing on the banzuke after a yusho.
>>243429which is still abysmal dogshit*
>>243429At least he stuck it out instead of going kyujo out of shame.
>>243431I wouldn't really count those because of the fact that it's possible for said list of guys shitting themselves to STILL do better than whatever the fuck kotoshoho put up.
>Onosato surpasses Hakuho! This tournament's prize money totals 519, a record high of 31.14 million yen for a single tournament.
>>243432They didn't though.
>>243435
This is fucked. I cant find a way how to fit guys like Kinbozo and Roga yet. Why does it seem like everybody has a makekoshi and will have to be promoted instead?
>>243435At 2-7 I think it might be a bit early for those kind of edits
>>243442yeah if anything it should be zak laughing at horse
>>243440Dispose of annoying banzuke complications by saying that they're the ones that will get stabbed to death in London next month.
>>243435>>243437you'll never be a japanese anyway, weeb.
>>243445Got him.
>>243442You're right. Pardon me.
>>243448Those two grimacing Onosatos at the bottom? That's how Zak's knees feel right now
>>243448Hoshoryu can defeat Onosharto all he wants but he will never win another yusho
>>243442I truly think Onosato will never beat Hoshoryu head-to-head lifetime, but he'll end up with like 5x more yusho so it doesn't really matter much.
>>243445Not an argument. Horseshit lost.
>>243458Tied.
>>243414Reminds me of the black button up shirts with flames at the bottom we wore in middle school.

Say what you want about the henka, but this was genuinely the best yokozuna performance in five years. Most people are going to forget about the henka and the fusensho thanks to Hosh forcing a playoff and the playoff itself being pretty close.
/sumo/ on did 7 threads this 'sho, thats a substantial drop off over 20% compared to recent bashoes. all of the gains we made this year seem to have evaporated, why is /sumo/ hemorrhaging clients? we need to solve this problem somehow or other if layoffs are going to be avoided, who has some suggestions?
>>243489>this was genuinely the best yokozuna performance in five yearswe haven't had any yokozunæ for most of that time, teru was absent more than he was present, host kyujos half the time and onosato is only on his 2nd yokozuna basho
>>243490One word: clown show
>>243490Kotozakura did OK, so I couldn't complain often and loudly how fraudulent his rank is
>>243490Summer ended, so there are fewer kids raising the post count. We don't want them anyway.
>>243490we need to milk the danposters vs anti-danners schism to create controversy and generate post count, if we do so I project we can create 11-4 more threads than we're currently producing
Onosato is now halfway to being a dai yokozuna and he hasn't even been in the top division two full years yet
>>243496I know, it's gay as fuck.
>>243496Quite literally the choosen one im starting to think if he was around in hakuho’s era hak wouldn’t have gotten 45 titles.I also hate Mongolians so im biased
>>243498>>243496Onosato is what Takakeisho would've been had he been 8 inches taller.I'm not saying this as a pejorative by the way, the two are similar in the sense of having a relatively limited fighting style yet being fantastic enough at that fighting style for one to be yokozuna and the other to be one win away from yokozuna.
>>243499Takanoshō would have looked so cool with the tsuna
>>243503he would've look retarded because he would've missed or kyujo'd more bashos than he finished and half those finishes would've been 9-6 or worse. he was barely adequate as ozeki
>>243388The easy explanation is that on the tour Kiri broke his wrist and Waka rolled his ankle. They looked like shadows of themselves (though not as bad as poor Abi), so I'd bet on them back at 9+ wins next basho unless their age is finally catching up to them.
>>243433This is one of those cursed pictures where you see something you're not supposed to and then death comes after you. Top hat guy is a supernatural entity.
>>243507
>>243433large sushi
Dan and his assistant Anhibiki cleverly using their bodies to spell out the number 11 to commemorate Dan's 4th consecutive 11 win top division performance
>>243513Very clever indeed
I still like Hosh, strong showing, seems losing to Aonishki kind of rattled him a bit, stopped trying to do what was working and tried to overpower again which isn't his strong suit.Good luck to him on his next basho.
>>243414>the everyday life you take for granted will one day crumble>>243433How come some guys get 2 fishes and others only get one?
>>243519I didn't know zebras could go that hard
>>243490To be perfectly honest /sumo/ is the one general that detracts from rather than enhances my kino viewing experience, every other interest I have be it sport or something else is fun to engage with on this site but sumo marks the one exception. It is plagued with spiteful, meanspirited, humorless autists that drown out fun and funny voices. Paragraphs and paragraphs of name-calling arguments doesn't make for comfy threads
>>243529Yeah the last year or so has been rough.I'm done fighting, I'm just here for the pictures and the occassional noticeably rational poster.I mourn history anon every day.
>>243517>stopped trying to do what was workingNot much was working all that great, he wasn't dominating his matches like Onosato did, a lot of his wins were close calls. Tamawashi almost got him, so did Kotoshoho & Hiradoumi, Hosh was lucky to get to 11-0, but the two victories he picked up after that were both decisive.
>>243529>>243532people who complain about the quality of content on user generated content websites invariably ignore the fact that they themselves are necessarily part of the problem they're complaining about. why do you feel entitled to receive good content if you don't put out the effort to deliver good content?given that you're demonstrably incapable of delivering good content, how can you claim you even have the ability to recognize good content?

>>243529Considering how bad most of the site is I find this post to be very difficult to believe, travel over for a moment and click on any thread in /v/ for instance. You seem to have trouble differentiating between people fooling around, trolling, and genuinely hateposting.Maybe you made a joke and people ignored it and now you are upset I don't know bro.

>>243545/v/ is notoriously dogshit yes, what an illuminating observation. Why don't you compare sumo to any of the dozen other generals on /sp/? Hilarious projection tho
>>243551I can compare it to most of the generals on /tg/. They're all way worse.
>>243551They are mostly worse, I think you are just having a moment.
>>243519Was that like the weekly hawaiian shirt day they had at my dad's office on the 90s?Those can't be a coincidence>>243524holy fuck the zebras
>>243533nta, but arguably WMH and Takayasu were close calls for Onosato too. I honestly don't think Hosh is ever going to be as dominating as Onosato but this was a pretty good basho for him.
>>243519Nice.
>>243550this buthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kspPE9E1yGM
>>243499Nah, Takakeisho's style just wasn't rope-worthy. Every pusher-thruster who ever got the rope did so because they learned to yorikiri. Sure, both yorikiri and oshidashi/tsukidashi can be considered one-note, but yorikiri specifically is the one note that consistently works the best in sumo.>>243548>lets a yotsu wrestler secure his preferred grip on the mawashi>losesMany such cases.
>>243559I wonder if this was a case of him being 11-3 and guaranteed sekiwake slot, so Aminishiki just went>outgrapple him pussy, bet you won't
>>243460He did not, unless you mean they both went 13-2.
>>243400Go back and stay there please.
>>243562Yes. A Yusho equivalent tie.
>>243565>Yes. A Yusho equivalent tie.So you're saying he lost the Yusho?
>>243566He won on senshuuraku, thus ensuring the tie. Correct. Also, new slop.
>>243561Embarrassing. Onosato needs to do something about his awful matchup against his archrival.Meanwhile, Hosh himself has negative records against: AtamifujiChiyoshoma (!!!)Ichiyamamoto OhoTakayasu (and it's not even close!), among other rikishi who's unlikely to match against him ever again.Shitton of almost-equal records with rikishi way below his rank.And 0-2 against Dan2.0With such performance, I doubt he'll exceed Kakuryu's cup number.
>>243570>EmbarrassingForgot to mention. Reminded me of crippled Takakeisho at his lowest. Unacceptable for the rikishi who's being touted as the peak tachiai monster.
>>243573You haven't heard? It was a tie.
>>243567>He won on senshuuraku, thus ensuring the tie. Correct.>Also, new slop.But he lost the Yusho?

>>243570If you don't win at least 6 (breaking Kaio's win total) then you're not even a real yokozuna.
>>243577His loss was equivalent to a victory, right.
>>243582Retard
>>243579why is the cameraman ignoring Kikuchi apart from showing his training ? Its been months since the last time they talked to eachother. Even during chanko he barely films him.
according to tachiai, dan's conditional outstanding performance was conditional on horse winning rather than on dan winning. can't remember that ever happening before, seems wrong and probably is
>>243591Makes sense. It's more about beating the tournament winner than just a Yokozuna.
>>243587I was thinking about this as well, it's strange, but it's not because the cameraman, he isn't filming Mita's bouts either. Kikuchi used to be all up in the camera and suddenly zero. I guess his parents don't want him to express his thoughts, who knows.
>>243529newfags shitified /sumo/ threads so much, threads used to be very comfy, with actual sumo talk and not some brown /int/ esl tier, we lost some of the greats like sumo historian in the process. I fucking despise the day sumo food channels became a thing. Should've gatekept more.
>>243597>with actual sumo talkGo on....
>>243597beyaslop is generally cancer, but the koga meme is top tier. the only decent part of beyaslop is the opportunity to watch practice matches
>>243599I mean I did like the one when they went swimming, seeing dudes this big send it down a waterslide was kinda funny

>>243604Best screenshot from the entire basho
>>243599>koga meme is top tierits not
I just noticed sumodb has a statistic that shows the average number of kimarite per 50 wins, I think Hoshoryu has the highest in all of current Makuuchi. I wish there was a way to show it in queries but I don't see one.
>>243613in bouts you can filter per rikishi and group by kimarite. you just have to do eqch individually unfortunately

>>243664I too saw the Chris Sumo vid.Yokozuna comittee says in regards to Hoshoryu's henka: shut up you stupid plebs, we're right and you're wrong, Hosh is a heckin CUTE and VALID Yokozuna.
Hoshoryu henka didn't happen.And if it did, WTK deserved it for fucking up his Ozeki run so bad.Also it will happen again.
>>243667Also, Hosh uses the henka more than just about anyone else. It’s an integral part of his brand of sumo. If they didn’t like that he henkas, then they shouldn’t have promoted him in the first place.
>>243668Hosh has zero hinkaku, he is a disgrace
well he lost so the henka doesnt matter too much anyway
>>243667>>243668>>243669Hi, I'm the future Ozeki Kurotaiga, in the year 2156 the time machine will be created and I wanted to use it to come to this time and tell you what will become of Yokozuna Hoshoryu: in one of the sumo tours, in one of those practice matches against children, Hoshoryu will henka a poor boy who runs away, falls from the dohyo and breaks his neck. The president of the JSA, Futagoyama, will consider this incident as the lowest moment in the history of sumo and Hoshoryu will be required to retire.

>>243371This was my first time watching sumo as a wrestling fag and I can't wait a month and a half. Are there other sumo federations worth following or do all of you just hibernate between tournaments?
>>243688we watch beya slop
>>243688>other sumo federations worth followingNo.>just hibernate between tournaments?Just ganbarize, do your shiko, eat well, and focus on your own style of waiting for the next basho.
>>243688>I can't wait a month and a half.I understand. I recommend picking up a book on it. "The Way of Salt" by Ash Warren has a bit of personal touch and tries to explain customs to westerners in an easy to understand way. It's not comprehensive and it's full of his personal opinions. That said, it has a lot of good information. Another I recommend is "The Perfect Guide To Sumo" in japanese and english by Katsuharu Ito, translated by David Shapiro. It's very direct and informational and covers things I haven't found in a lot of other places, especially historic connections and differences. I would recommend 'the perfect guide' first, way of salt if you're still hungry after.
>>243688We do our best to take it one day at a time and not focus on the basho.No, nothing else of substance goes on between basho, which is why we spiral further into schizodom between each tournament.
>>243688You can go to Japan and start competing in regional tournaments and get recruited by a stable. Aonishiki did that. He couldn't wait a month and a half and joined the sumo world and is now an ozeki.
You're all way too nice here compared to the absolute dregs of society over at /pw/>>243694I've been looking for a book to read before bed so I can fix my sleep schedule, thank you bro.>>243696I wish I had discovered sumo at his age, I'm not too old but any of these sumo wrestlers would twist me into a pretzel. I'm not very familiar with how the ranking system works but if he's this good at 21 years old, he's gotta be on the road to be a Yokozuna by his mid 20's like Onosato right?
>>243697The point where your "road to rank X" stops being about you is Ozeki. You can get all the way up there on nothing but 11-4s, as a certain man is likely to demonstrate. But that last step is entirely dependent on whether or not you can be better than everyone else, twice in a row.
>>243697>I'm not very familiar with how the ranking system worksSumo is divided into six divisions. The top two, makuuchi and juryo, are the only ones where wrestlers get a regular salary. "Maegashira" is any rank-and-file member of the top division. The guys at the very top are collectively called "sanyaku." Komusubi is the lowest sanyaku rank and easiest to get; if you get winning scores every tournament then you'll eventually make komusubi, even if it's only 8-7. It doesn't matter how many komusubi there are, someone at M1e who finishes 8-7 will get an extra komusubi spot. Sekiwake is when it starts getting a bit harder: there's a minimum of two spots so if someone drops out then someone lower will get promoted to take their place, but if there's already two or more sekiwake then a komusubi needs 11+ wins to force an extra sekiwake spot.Ozeki is the most complicated. Someone needs to already be sekiwake and a record of "high success" over the past three tournaments. 33 wins over three tournaments is a typical rule of thumb, but it also depends on the quality of their competition, quality of their sumo, and whether or not the rankings committee likes them. Once you're ozeki, you need to win the title twice in a row to make yokozuna, or have one win and one "equivalent" runner-up. What's considered "equivalent" is likewise vague, but regardless it means you need to be at minimum the second-best guy in the tournament with a strong record.
>>243701And the worst part: very few of these rules are written down and/or consistently applied so everyone is constantly guessing.
>>243690I don't
>>243698Twice in a row doesn't sound that hard to be honest, I mean looking at other sports it's not uncommon for a team in peak form to win two or even more league titles in a row for example unless I'm misunderstanding what these "two" actually are.>>243705Your explanation makes a lot of sense, until we get to this gray area you're talking about. Do the big wigs behind sumo take advantage of this to promote sumo wrestlers they want to "push"?
>>243698>that last step is entirely dependent on whether or not you can be better than everyone else, twice in a row.horseryu never has and never will do that
>>243709yusho winners have to spend the period between their victory and the next basho getting drunk with their supporters clubs so the 2nd victory is more challenging
>>243709>Twice in a row doesn't sound that hard to be honestIn a combat sport, it’s a lot. Otherwise there would be a lot more yokozunas.For nearly all of these guys, they are beaten to a pulp by the end of a tournament and they are able to ease off the gas a little for the next one. If you’re going for Yokozuna, you have to dive right back in at the highest degree.Moreover, since you’re an ozeki, your 15 matches will literally be the hardest possible schedule. You don’t get to Smurf against the lower maegashitters.
>>243709>Do the big wigs behind sumo take advantage of this to promote sumo wrestlers they want to "push"?Sort of. They tend to be more lenient to the senior, well-established guys over the new up-and-comers.Conspiracy theorists will claim that some wrestlers are held down unfairly due to collusion by the elders, but it usually just comes down to seniority like everything else is in Japan.

STOP BEING MEAN TO SHISHI
>>243696Actually you have to be under a certain age to join pro as a beginner. I think it's 26. If anon is 27 he's out of luck and can no longer be a professional Sumo wrestler.
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/2d21afc7964d49b54c4a270d088eeb0ef1b800deTakarafuji intai, taking the elder name Kiriyama.
>>243761That takes away the only current vacancy, meaning everyone else needs to wait for an elder to retire.
What happens if you're loaning out your kabu but you intend to retire?
>>243763The other guy needs to find a new one, or retire.
>>243697>if he's this good at 21 years old, he's gotta be on the road to be a YokozunaYou'd think so, but Sumo has a long history of fire hot rikishi gaining rank and suddenly stopping their climb, losing their mojo, or getting injured and falling back down the ranks.
>>243761>Takarafuji intaiKnew that was coming soon enough. He's been battered and broken as fuck for a long time now.Hope he enjoys his intai.

the next Chris video is gonna be awesome
>>243776Nobody gives a fuck about Yarden, and rightfully so.
>>243779I'm looking forward to Chris's extended and in depth coverage of the London tour stop since his family pretty much owns the Japan society of London or whatever the name of the host organization is.

>>243683i lol'd
>>243743Spooky?
>>243728It's sad how big the joi is these days.
>>243794its only up to m4. m5+ got like 2 sanyaku bouts each
>>243796With Daieisho out it was up to M5e this basho. Kotozakura's status is up in the air, but I expect it to be the same or worse in November.
POV: You flamed Hoshoryu's henka on social media
>>243807UNDIGNIFIED
>>243766People start talking about yokozuna the moment a newcomer performs well, that's true. I do think Aonishiki showcases the kind of drive we haven't seen with any of the others, though. Time will tell.>>243794Yeah, there was a basho in the early 2000s with no M15e on the banzuke, that's how big the sanyaku was. Now guys from positions that shouldn't even exist are taking cups like once a year.
>>243809>People start talking about yokozuna the moment a newcomer performs well,Remember the Takerusato era?
>>243810Remember the Takerufuji era?
We need a real bingo for next time. Bingo isn't supposed to be a list of rare shit; someone is supposed to actually win with the fun being the randomness of who gets it first. They have to be more achievable than a triple matta, wheelchair, or mizu-iri. It's also more fun if different people have things others don't.I'm gonna be slowly compiling a big ass list of things I think of and hope you'll play along with me for the next basho :3c
>>243812Things that happen regularly:Oho beats a yokozuna/ozeki, loses to an M10+ in the same basho
>>243813That feels too wordy and a specific rikishi getting a kinboshi seems a bit far since in total we had 1 kinboshi last basho. It wouldn't be the worst thing if it extended beyond Makuuchi too. Some things I like so far are>Kinboshi (Onosato)>Kinboshi (Hoshoryu)>WTK > WMH>WTK < WMH>Koga Makekoshi>Asanoyama PromotionIf you want something semi-regular for Oho I could add one for his forehead scar re-opening. Maybe change the blood one for blood (nose) then add blood (Oho).
>>243814Problem with the middle two is that you have to wait for the basho to be pretty much over to determine them. The bottom two are just way too specific.
>>243815Specific is fine if it's something with a good chance of happening imo. I just don't consider an Oho kinboshi likely enough to warrant a spot. I'd say it needs an over 50% chance of happening at LEAST, and preferably way higher. Remember, in normal bingo every number WILL come out eventually. Like how Asakoryu has been so henka happy lately that it's probably a safe bet I can put henka (Asakoryu) on there. Also since I intend for there to be more options for boxes than 24 you can keep generating bingo boards until you get one you like.
>>243816if you can do a generator, arrange them into rarity tier lists so everyone ends up with X number of freebies, Y number of near impossibles etc
>>243816You just contradicted yourself though. In normal bingo, the numbers don't have a greater than 50% chance of coming out in one game.
I suppose it's best to avoid things that can only be confirmed at the very end of the basho and replace them with things from maybe 2/3 of the way through, like the Yokozuna and Dan getting their 8th win. I also like the idea of putting in attempts at rare kimarite as opposed to winning via them. Last time the bingo had tsuridashi but afaik despite a couple of attempts no one pulled it off. We could say the same about uchimuso too since I believe Dan only did it to Atamin and that match ended in a torinaoshi.>Dan's 8th Win>Onosato's 8th Win>Hoshoryu's 8th Win>Tsuridashi Attempt>Uchimuso Attempt>Abi Flowchart Win>>243818Only because the game ends.>>243817If you have a generator that can do rarities sure, but people can still generate a bunch and just take the best one. I'd also have to post the full list in order to get opinions about rarity, which could detract from the fun of seeing boxes for the first time and taking your first generate.
>>243819>Only because the game ends.Yeah no shit. That's how bingo works. It's not supposed to be everybody wins. >like the Yokozuna and Dan getting their 8th winThis is a good idea. Yokozuna KK on day 8 is good.
>>243820>It's not supposed to be everybody winsYeah but I can't stop people from ticking off boxes after the first poster gets a line. Ideally the first poster would get it day 10 or thereabouts. I wonder if the days that regular guest commentators appear is sufficiently random to add something like commentator (Aoiyama).
>>243821Don’t we want these things to be even slightly funny?>yokozuna starts 8-0 Isn’t particularly funny >Oho bleeds from his forehead Is funny
>>243822Funny is good as long as it can reasonably happen, like a gyoji falling over. If it won't realistically happen you aren't playing bingo; you're just writing a list of le epic maymays.
Glad others are showing interest in writing the bingo cards, because I really didn't know what I was doing. I got the idea from the rallying threads on /sp/, so looking toward those might help.
Here's some less win-orientated ones then:Hair PullGyoji Falls OverKinboshi (Wakanohana)Ura Does a ThingCommentator (Takakeisho)Mawashi Tie Break
It's also kinda tough to come up with dumb shit that can happen in sumo when the JSA prides itself on having a stick up its ass and things not going wrong or being silly.
>Clear shinitai being called judge favoritism by fans>Dan gets/doesnt get 11-4>Onosato pulls and loses>Cyborg knees Zak
>>243823>you're just writing a list of le epic maymaysThat's what I came for.
Shinpan bowling on specific shinpan sounds fun. Winning /sumo/ bingo by Kisenosato getting a fatso to the face would get put on my resume.
>>243828>uncle mean-tweets nephew within an hour of a bad loss>shishi attempts harite, misses completely.>former maegshira mainstay goes intai before nakabi.>tobizaru tweets himself into the crowd>hiradoumi machine-gun belly bumps>midorifuji katasukashi
>>243832Lmao I actually already had Asashoryu Hoshposting on my list.
>>243832>* tobizaru YEETS himself
Up to 39 things for bingo. Everyone's boards will be completely different at this rate lmao.
>>243836Imagine how many more things you'll be able to add once the banzuke has been revealed!
>>243837Probably not many desu.
>>243833He doesn't do that anymore, not befitting the hinkaku of a yokozunaTochinoshin is skinny now btw
>>243839Asa doesn't care what others think, my man.
>>243842burning my tochinoshin tegata
>>243844>two dudes
Neat.
>A hairdresser at Nishonoseki has been caught doing fraud>But that's okay because Nishonoseki is Japanese :)
>>243847Isn’t the JSA going to provide him with a “consultant” to help him with stable management?
>>243848No the entire thing is retarded. It's not Kisenosato's fault if someone else commits crime. What, should he be personally combing the finances of everyone associated with his stable? When anyone actually doing something bad would be actively hiding it? I think this is just another example of Chris being a faggot and trying to stir shit.
>>243846He has the optimal sumo build. I can see him going far.
>>243847Hakuho was put under higher management because he attempted to lie to and mislead higher authorities in order to save face for himself and cover up the problems at his stable which were partially the result of his own negligence and absenteeism. He wouldn't have suffered so badly if he had behaved in a trustworthy manner. Kisenosato does not engage in similar underhanded behavior and alerted the bosses as to what was going on as soon as he found out about it himself. Foreigners who screech "muh racism" every time they're not allowed to flaunt authority is one of the best arguments for keeping foreigners out of sumo altogether.
>>243849Chris is a racist, he is constantly accusing only the Japanese of misdeeds and never laying blame on anyone else.

Now that I think about it, a loss to Juryo isn't a gimme since we don't have a guaranteed injury so might not even get Juryo guys fighting up in the first place, and M1 makekoshi is sort of lame since it could come so late in the basho.

>>243857>Fujinokawa lifts someoneYeah I can see that, added.>Gonoyama gets -nage'dAdded.>Roga MKRoga is such an odd case. Before September he's had four 7-8s in Makuuchi, and only been demoted once off them. Going off Spiffy's instant banzuke video he's going to survive demotion on 7-8 AGAIN. I wouldn't say he's guaranteed a makekoshi, but "Roga Isn't Demoted" is something I'd put on the list if I wanted it to run that long. Sadly KK/MK just takes too long to confirm desu. Ideally this stuff will happen day 10 at latest.>Tamawashi beats a sanyakuLikely landing at Hiradoumi's current spot, where he started facing Sanyaku day 6. This works.>Abi wins by henka 2+ timesNope. He didn't henka once last month so the odds of him winning twice are basically zero. I already have him getting a single flowchart win on there anyway.>Oho beats a 'zunaToo slim imo. Him losing to both would be a decent addition, but it took until way too late in the basho for S1w to face both Zunas last time.>Dan wins by a sub 1% rarity kimariteI already have uchimuso attempt on there. I'll replace it with this.
>>243858I like it. We're at 40.
Having completed a basho at sanyaku rank, Dan now qualifies to own JSA elder stock and he is now participating in fund raising events for Japanese charities, so it seems likely he is planning to get Japanese citizenship and remain with JSA post retirement.
>>243862>Dan now qualifies to own JSA elder stockHe still needs citizenship. Maybe he’s already applied for it? Who knows?
>>243862Hakkaku is going to kneel and surrender his kabu to Dan upon retirement.

>>243923There's no schism, anon. It's just one guy spamming his favorite way too much. Everyone else finds the obnoxious fan annoying, but the general opinion on the rikishi is overwhelmingly posittive.
>>243933>Everyone else finds the obnoxious fan annoyingI find both of you annoying. He only posts it because you idiots keep talking about it. You're just as obsessed, otherwise you could just stop. You have the power.
>>243934You're clearly too young and new to understand the mentality of people who troll.

>>243926why is stuff like onosato kachikoshi there? he is gonna get one 100% of the time
>>243944It's not a question of whether it will happen but when it will happen. That's what determines who'll get a bingo first.
>>243905Last year I'm pretty sure, at the very least I remember hokuseiho having one right?
>>243955yup, because he fought like a retard. we dont have a tall retard staller in makuuchi anymore. 0% chance for mizu iri

this was the instant horseryu's hush chances evaporated, before this he was undefeated, after it he was 1-4. the henka counts as a loss, it put a score in the win column for him, but the moral loss was of greater magnitude. he could've beaten wakatakakoga in a straight up fight easy, the henka was bad mistake.

>>244069I do.
Imagine referring to Hakuho as Miyagino to this day. That's what you sound like.
>>244075Now that he is out of the JSA his name reverts to his mong name Monghbtn Dvaajrgl
>>244078I assumed the name you gave was a joke considering it started with Mong but it seems you only slightly misspelled it. Mongolian names really are something else, like Hoshoryu's real name, Sugarragchaagiin Byambasüren.
>>244063He unironically looks like a middle schooler or younger high schooler.
>>244078Since he gained Japanese citizenship, his legal name is in fact Hakuho Sho.
>>244083>heh, this kid thinks he's my oyakata?>heh, he's putting on a mawashi and wants to spar with me???>AAAIIIIEEEEEActually he probably blows nuts in sparring now because he's lost 2/3 of his bodyweight. Kisenosato can only stand up to Onosato because he never stopped being fat.

>>244175Has Shonannoumi realised he's the same size as Onosato yet?
2nd year in a row that Japan has won a majority of the bashoes, before that it was over two decades since Japan took home 4 or more makuuchi yushoes. We are in a new era
Hoshoryu is going to be Kisenosato if they'd roped him as Ozeki. Go ahead, do your best, you'll only lose to this generation's unquestioned #1.
Reminder that Onosato was 2-0 v Takakeisho.
>>244203Its a shame Keisho pussied out and quit so young. He should've done the take six months off to recover his health and drop into makushita or sandanme then make a big comeback. 28 is way too young to give up at unless you have a permanently crippling injury thats going to prevent you from competing and Keisho had nothing like that. He just pussied out and quit. And now the JSA is going to be represented by a skinny manlet wimp for 40 years, bad look for a sumo boss.
>>244210He knew his neck was broken, and his pride wouldn't allow him to slide into irrelevance. I respect his stubbornness and bushido ways. He'll be a terror in the JSA for the next three and a half decades. Assume he'll be Chairman.
>>244210>Keisho had nothing like thatHe injured his neck dude. It's not like a knee injury where you can recover to almost 100%. If your neck is fucked, it only recovers to several less degrees of fucked.

Takerufuji going down would've ended it if Nishikifuji had failed at promotion, but even with him making it, the next guy down the banzuke who isn't injured from Aomori is Tatsunami's memelord Okaryu who went 5-2 at Ms18w in September. There's also Osanai who went 3-4 at Ms19e.
Last Futagoyama video had Nobehara and Waki demonstrate the 10 most common finishing moves, bretty good
>>244254Yeah, Nishikifuji is bound to drop out again sooner or later and no one else seems up to it at this point.
>>244257yeah that was nice, but koga calling takahara cute wasn't.
>>244241This isn't even an edit, it's just a photo.
Takayasu and Hakuoho both math at M1e, but they've shown a tendency to break ties with who's coming down, especially when coming down from Sanyaku. Takayasu will be K1w and Hakuoho M1e. On the bright side, M1e gets a guaranteed K spot if they kachikoshi.
WakatakaKOGA and KiriSHITma are both pathetic excuses for sekiwakes, Its nice to see we're gonna get chads like Dan and Oho to step up and take their place, hopefully Takanosho can perform at sanyaku rank too, 4-5 years ago he was doing well in the upper level ranks and then he fell off, dude has a nice big strong body and looks like he should be up to the task to do that again
>>244284Oho is the worst example of a Sekiwake in years. He skipped Komusubi off a single spike, immediately failed miserably, and has only regained the rank due to everyone else failing miserably again.
>>244284
>>244287>The first Mongolian to make Ozeki and not progress to YokozunaTruly, KiriSHITma.
>>244289Oh no how terrible, I guess i should hate him.You make me laugh SHITposter anon
>>244290Thank you for posting a based Mongolian in your image.
Introducing my new OC rikishi Shitackfuji (糞痛富士). Do not steal.
>>244300There's no way for "ack" to appear in romaji so you're just a dumbshit honestly.
>Shirokuma beat both Asanoyama and Mita despite getting zero chanko since Onosato hogs it allMake it make sense.
>>244301What about ACK-a ACK-asaka, the mangaka of Infintity Bullet, Kaguya Love is War, and Oshi no Ko?
>>244310The hairdresser that was fired for embezzling funds was actually hired by Shirokuma to buy food for him
>>244311You mean the Hacka Hackasaka, the genius mangaka?
>>244289>first mongolian to reach the top 1% of the sport and not 0.1%
>>244287>KirishiMANURE
>>244310Mita is a manlet, juryo is his peak.
>>244318Roughly half of ozeki make yokozuna, therefore not making yokozuna by definition makes him a below average ozeki.
>>244326>Roughly half of ozeki make yokozunaDo they actually? For some reason it feels like they rotate out way more often than that
>>244328The exact amount is more like 45% so there's a wiggle room of like 7 ozeki who could be considered above average without making yokozuna. But that's limited to guys like Kaio and Konishiki.
>wake up>have breakfast with Dan
>>244345holy mental illness
I feel like two yusho and getting within a win of rope puts Kiribayama as an above average Ozeki.
>>243393>>243394>>243561>prevents Hosh from setting his feet to throw>off-balances him with right hand belt grip>blocks Hosh's standing leg with his left armMaybe not a throw, but he deserves some credit. That's a bonafide takedown, not just oonga booga smash like you usually see from him.
>>244348To me it looked more like Hoshoryu just lost his left grip on Sato's belt at the very last second, you can see his arm ping upwards right at the critical moment in the throw. Whether it was him losing his grip or Onosato pushing so hard against his arm he simply couldn't hold it without wrenching his fingers off we may never know, but it is worth noting that apparently Hosh dislocated a finger in their first.
>>244347He has the same amount of yusho as one of the current yokozunas.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sumo/comments/1nzi47n/hoshoryu_defeats_onosato_who_lost_at_the_autumn/>Hoshoryu beats Onosato to win the All-Japan Sumo Wrestler Selection Tournament
>>244349At that point in time, Hoshoryu's elbow is too high to have any meaningful leverage on the belt and he's already on his tippy-toes going sideways. Grip or not, no way is he able to pull off the throw.>but it is worth noting that apparently Hosh dislocated a finger in their firstIn his right hand, yes.
>>244348... he just found himself with his right arm wrapped around Hoshoryu and had the resolve to use it to push him down. The tap on the leg is a nice touch, though.
>>244355>he just found himself with his right arm wrapped around HoshoryuHahaha I hate when that happens hahaha
>>244356Look, his defense was good, he was ready for the throw and even tried to mess with the leg, but I can't pretend he was in control of that match at any point. Hoshoryu went for it and forced that situation, thought it could work, it didn't. That's it.
>>244357How far is that stick shoved up your ass that you couldn't see I was joking about having my arm be around Hoshoryu in a more intimate context than the fucking dohyo lmaooo
>>244347>and getting within a win of ropeHe was never within a win of yokozuna.
>>244360*2 winshatsu 2024. had he won at the last two days and he'd be a flopzuna by now
>>244361There are 10 ozeki who never made yokozuna who won more yusho than Kirishima did, so no he's still below average.
>>244362Also Takayasu has 9 yusho equivalents
>>244357>I can't pretend he was in control of that match at any point. >Hoshoryu went for it and forced that situation, thought it could work, it didn't.Why are you making it out like Hoshoryu beat himself and Onosato had nothing to do with it?
>>244355>... he just found himself with his right arm wrapped around HoshoryuHe swam his right arm in to prevent Hoshoryu from taking his back.>had the resolve to use it to push him downAnd people give oyakata shit for giving non-specific canned advice.
Fucking Shishi lmao caveman
>>244366it could've been worse if the twerked
>>244366love that neanderthal
>>244364Because I was under the false impression that the post I replied to was trying to point out how good Onosato was at getting that right hand in, or something.Otherwise I even praised his defense.>>244365>He swam his right arm in to prevent Hoshoryu from taking his back.Sure, but that's what you'd expect anyone to do in that situation. Even more so someone like Onosato who loves his right-hand grip. I don't think Hoshoryu's match plan was "I'm just going to circle around him and grab his back while he does nothing".
>>244366the lion does his shiko at his own pace
>>244362since switching to the current basho schedule, there are only 6. he is better than average if going by basho won by rikishi who made ozeki
>>244379Horse has 0 hinkaku
>>244347>Kiribayama as an above average Ozeki.Meh, he kept the rank for a year and got a yusho, but I think he would be considered below average as an Ozeki. Had a better run than Mitakeumi for sure, though.
>>244385>since switching to the current basho scheduleThat actually hurts everyone from 1958 onward since they have more basho to win.
>>244361Yokozuna being allowed to sit out and nurse their injuries instead of exacerbating them and dropping down the banzuke anyway is a huge deal. Teru would never have hit 10 yusho if he had to fight every basho because his injuries would've ended his career much sooner. Even if we Ozeki him and say he has to fight every other basho, his injuries still would've retired him before 10.A Kirishitma who roped and could sit out without losing rank would probably be on 4-5 yusho right now.
>>244379Their outside hands are nowhere near synced.
>>244393How many yusho a yokozuna gets as a yokozuna is irrelevant when comparing how many yusho are won by ozeki.
>>244385>Miyabiyama 0lmaoooo
>>244395It's more that Kirishitma just goes on the list of Ozeki who were cut down by injuries before earning the rope that would've negated their injuries and let them win way more yusho (see: Takakeisho). Contrast this with Ozeki who just never had it in them to go anywhere in the first place.Also what the fuck there was an Ozeki called Ouchiyama; sounds like he was constantly injured.
>>244400If a rikishi is cut down by injuries then it just means they're failing at one of the core pillars of sumo, which is strength of the body. Part of being a rikishi of such high status is the responsibility to build up and train ones body to achieve success in a manner that does not lead to injury. This is why Kirishima was a below average ozeki.The same criticism can be applied to Takakeisho but the difference is he was at least able to win 3 yusho as an ozeki (4 total) before his body failed.
>>244401I like to think that there are Ozeki with rope potential, and Ozeki without it. Maybe it's a hindsight thing, but Zak's January performance slapped him on the list of guys who just don't have it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1W1kK6ww_EGet some sumo history in you.
>>244402I hate talking about things like potential because they're used to fluff up guys who don't deserve it. If an ozeki has yokozuna potential then they'll make yokozuna. If they don't then they didn't have it. All the "potential" in the world didn't help Kisenosato for three years until he finally got it.
>>244409An Ozeki making the rank without a yusho is probably a good indicator. Both Hoshoryu and Onosato made it with a yusho while Zak didn't. Fuck, Onosato is the only rikishi to have two yusho in his Ozeki run afaik. Christ, Onosato is set up to spread Ozumo's asscheeks wide for years.
>>244411>An Ozeki making the rank without a yushoLiterally every yokozuna from Musashimaru to Kisenosato failed to yusho prior to making ozeki. Including Hakuho and Asashoryu.
>>244412Wtf our current yokozuna are better than Hakuho???
>>244401At the end of the day, who got it, got it and that's it. That said, not all injuries are preventable nor recoverable, especially depending on a rikishi's build. It's just dense to consider every injury a personal failure of the wrestler. Sometimes bad luck ruins everything. As you know, promotion standards in ozumo aren't exactly consistent, so you will find plenty of underwhleming yokozuna and the occasional ozeki who shoots above his rank. That's a large part od why people come up with these "what could've been" scenarios every now and then. They'd rather believe their favorite got shit luck rather than that he just didn't have it in him and it's rarely obvious which of the two is true.
If Kotozakura went 13-2JY 12-3Y in his next basho do you think the YDC would rope him?
>>244418No because he can't get 10 wins consistantly, going 8-7 for half a year is not a Yokozuna performance, I don't think JSA wants another Terunofuji unless there are no other options. Onosato being as dominant as he is raises the standard for everyone else
>>244421Even though it meets the standard that Hoshoryu met?
>>244421They need to dilute the yokozuna talent pool currently so that horseshitryu's mediocrity doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
>>244423>horseshitryu's mediocrityHe's gone 12-3 13-2 while healthy, and caused September's basho to end on a super exciting note. No one at the JSA thinks he's mediocre.
>>244424>13 wins is his peakZak and Onosato can both manage to win 14
>>244424>He's gone 12-3 13-2 while healthyStop conveniently ignoring the 50% of the time when he's not healthy.>but muh hakuho kakuryu haru teruAll managed at least a few good tournaments before pulling out for the first time as yokozuna.>No one at the JSA thinks he's mediocr.Literally last tournament before the most recent one https://hochi.news/articles/20250728-OHT1T51228.html?page=1
>>244426Not reading your weeb shit. Hoshoryu is living up to expectation; he's just being overshadowed by a fatso who fell from the heavens as a Yokozuna and left a fucking crater when he landed.
>>244418Would depend entirely on whether they said the 13-2 J was yusho-equivalent ahead of the next basho like they did Hoshoryu. Remember that basho was two 13-1 ozeki going up against each other on the final day with no yokozuna, so they were the top dogs at the time. It would probably need to be something similar where one of the yokozuna is out and the other is facing Zak with both at 13-1 on the final day.
>>244392only if you manage to stay healthy and only slightly injured at worse.
>>244429Ganbarize!
>>244409i would only agree if there was a hard 2 yusho rule. the yusho equivalent rule has allowed people to be promoted prematurely like hoshoryu when it wouldn't have been strong enough just a few years ago with terunofuji there. though, there's way more over promotions than guys who were fucked
>>244379Let's hope I never have to use this.
>>244428> Remember that basho was two 13-1 ozeki going up against each other on the final day with no yokozuna, so they were the top dogs at the time.yeah and Zak left him eating sand, after that contest there was only 1 top dog remaining
>>244432But clown era is coming to an end with Onosato
>>244427>he's just being overshadowed by a fatso who fell from the heavens as a Yokozuna and left a fucking crater when he landed.Stop complaining about the dohyo height already
Honestly naming the "current era" Taiho because it's the first kanji of our zuna's shikonas is so fucking lame.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbzdcGWjAjoTatsusloppa including Yarden.
>>244457If Tai beats Ho first-try in november, people will just call it the Oonosato era from then on.
The current era will eventually come to be known as the Danosato era, horseSHITryu is never going to be a factor
>>244468evil spirit
>>244473Say, Takanosho did awfully well last basho...
>no Chris video for the past 5 days despite a plethora of important sumo happenings how out of character, sure hope Chris didn't just drop dead and stop making videos or something
>>244481If Chris were to die how would we ever hear again of the JSA's Hakuho-specific racism?
>>244468Rough looking 30.
>>244488Fat ages you, and he looks like he was an ugly bastard before that.
>>244481 I wouldn't be surprised if he is already in London and preparing for the event
>>244494In that case he's probably been robbed and can't post.
>>244496yeah its not like he can't read jap newspapers from london
>>244502With a stolen laptop and phone?
>>244462Thanks for the warning.
>>244457its Taiho Taiho era. Youre forgetting about the REAL Taiho descendant joining them in 2026
>>244513>Made sekiwake twice without touching komusubiHas this ever happened before?
>>244514Are you looking for someone who's hit Sekiwake multiple times without touching komusubi EVER, or someone who's just done it multiple times and has hit komusubi before?
>>244514i wasnt talking about that bum
>>244514Making sekiwake twice before their first komusubi basho happened with 7 wrestlers, including Takanosho (pic related). The record is Tochiakagi doing it 3 times in 1979 and 1980 before making komusubi in 1981.Making sekiwake twice without ever making komusubi in their career happened with 3 wrestlers. The record is also 3 set by Chiyonoyama back in 1947, 1948, and 1949. He's also the most recent, so this seems to be something less likely ever since they went to the 6 basho, 15 days schedule. Oho would count as the most recent since Chiyonoyama, but that would be dependant on him never making komusubi at all before he retires.
>>244525>Making sekiwake twice without ever making komusubi in their career happened with 3 wrestlerswho were the other two?
>>244526Ayanami (peaked at sekiwake) in 1912 and 1915, and Hitachiiwa (made ozeki) in 1925 and 1926. Chiyonoyama made yokozuna.
>>244527thanks, interesting spread of outcomes
>>244525>but that would be dependant on him never making komusubi at all before he retires.he just needs to keep on banging out the double digit scores and he never will

Any bong anons going to the event or are we left hung and dry?
>>244664I wouldn't go to London if you paid me.
>>244626Kirishima told him it was dancy dress day at the dohyo and he actually fell for it.
The first planeload of wrestlers has arrived in London and so far Onosato has already been stabbed 3 times and Dan was arrested for being White without a loicense
>>244694Is Nephew okay?
>>244695he may or may not have been injured in transit depending on how he performs
Zak absolutely obliterated KOGAshoho in training in the latest oyakata channel video, must've been filmed before Aki, which means KOGAshoho was defending champion when he was getting his ass kicked. So even he knows his cup was a clownshow>he guys I just yusho'd and now 8-7 man is kicking my ass
