Water break is a terrible bingo inclusion because it literally never happens in Makuuchi, which is where the bingo is besides the one square for Koga's 2nd win.
I wish Zak and hakuoho would go get the surgery they need and eat the tumble down the banzuke both are seriously talented and young enough to rebound in 2 years.
Takakeisho's cock cutting is tomorrow (Oct 4)

>>243888Could we like stop making generals until the last one image caps?There's like 10 sumo generals on /xs/. It's not necessary
>>243920Hakuoho needs arm replacement surgery. No amount of work on his arms will change the fact that his fat arm shape and lack of reach kill him. Many matches I see him lose involve him trying to grab the belt and being unable to because he has T-Rex arms.Probably shouldn't have been a belt wrestler while having 4 inch arms.
>>243977Also Hakuoho literally did do surgery and tumble down the banzuke after multiple tournaments missed
>>243977maybe he can turn himself into a legs-only gonoyama style human cannonball
>/ourguy/ finally appears in a Chris (((Gould))) videoWhat are the implications of this moving forward?
>>243998His face and the hand coming out right there makes it look like he's being denied entry lmao
where does Ikazuchido sleep
After rewatching the playoff bout for like the dozenth time I noticed something that I haven't seen anyone else point out yet. It was Kakuryu who called the mono-ii. It was a clear victory for Onosato and the mono-ii was some unexpected extra drama after the bout, seemed to add to the suspense a little, but now realizing that it was Kakuryu calling for it unnecessarily in support of his racial brethren, it seems a kinda filthy

did anyone play along on the latest oyakata channel video? can't believe they missed on oho, they were faster than me on pretty much everything else, but the oho one seemed pretty easy
>>244049>I showed you my weight loss pics, please respond
>>244049benjamin button motherfuckersoon he'll be a little kid
>>244054>benjamin button motherfuckerThis, but... he's still 29. Younger than Enho.Just 3 years older than Hoshoryu. Let that sink in.
Spiffy is working on a special video about Dan
keisho is now the human embodiment of the "cartoonishly evil jap soldier" stereotype from late 1930s & early 1940s war propaganda. all he needs to complete the look is a pair of round glasses
That was my third basho and the first one i also watched Juryo ofIt was cool actually starting to recognize names beyond the super obvious rikishiIm excited as fuck for the future of this shit
>>244049yobai the okami

>>244049she looks very proud
Sumo? nah I don't watch that shit.t. Takerufujihttps://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2025/10/04/kiji/20251004s00005000270000c.html
>>244049bros, I used to think kimonos were stupid...I think I get it now.
>Japan to get 1st female prime minister I seriously shiggy this bitch isn't going to try and force her way up onto the dohyo to hand out the cup
>Oh no!>Anyway...
>>244150I doubt it. She’s considered one of the most conservative members of an already conservative party. I doubt she would want to flaunt norms and traditions just to score non-existent feminism points.
Its gonna be a major embarrassment for Terunofuji if the only top tier talents his stable can produce are all Hakuho recruits like Hakuoho & Kusano and all the Iseghama natives remain lower makuuchi mediocrities like Midorifuji, Atamifuji & Nishikifuji
>>244049is that his mother?
Zak is out from the London tour because >muh knee
At this rate, when would you bet on Aonishiki getting his first yuusho? Will he ever?
>>24429711-4 does not a yusho make
Speaking of Dan, is there an upload of that documentary NHK did on him that doesn't have audio recorded on a phone? The one on youtube with 100k views has good video quality but somehow audio quality like it's 2007 and I'm about to hear 007 Sound System Dreamscape
>>244297He already has two of them
>>244320Blue Whirlwind is still available directly from NHK, if the audio sucks on their version I suggest you email Hiro Morita directly and request a master copy
>>244322>Broadcast on July 12, 2025 / Available until July 11, 2026Thanks, I didn't know it'd be up for a year (why do they remove everything at seemingly random intervals?)
>>244324Their behavior is justified/rationalized the same way as any other similar organization, the go into a meeting and everyone spouts out the latest professional sounding industry buzzwords, jargon and catchphrases until a decision is reached. They recently made a bunch of short length clip shows out of old Dosukoi episodes which doubtlessly are intended to appeal to the TikTok/YoutubeShorts crowd.
>>244321Pardon me, I meant Cup.
>>244330If you want to be a real sumo fan you should start following the lower division championships, theres a new guy down there who just started off like Dan, winning the the two J divisions consecutively at the start of his career. 190cm too. Kaki could be at the start of making a rush to the top. Don't be a silly casual and get surprised by guys like that.
>>244049How was this even possible?
>>244182>Its gonna be a major embarrassment for Terunofuji if the only top tier talents his stable can produce are all Hakuho recruits like Hakuoho & KusanoHakuoho has competed with Isegahama longer than he's been with Miyagino. Pretty much all of Kusano's basho were under Isegahama as well. One could make the argument that they're more of an Isegahama product at this point.
Giku's new recruit
>>244375Pure ugrofinnic specimen
>>244375>greco-roman backgroundshould be some transferrable skills from that
I never realised how large Onosato's nipples are until now
>>244029And after they go back into their monkey cages
>>244297When Onosato goes out on injury.
>>243920Kotozakura will retire the moment he drops from ozeki. He's not dragging grandpa's shikona through the non-sekitori ranks. Hakoho's already done it. A bit too early to say for certain if it worked for him.
>>244171It's funny how pretty much all the breakthrough female politicians are/were conservative. I guess lefties value representation more than policy.>>244298In the clown era it does. And the clown era has not yet ended, though its end is indeed approaching.>>244327Hardly surprising. They really have no clue how to manage sumo for the international crowd. All he infrastructure is already up, they could be streaming and charging 10$ per basho with near zero invesment.
Shodai fans on Xitter are gloating massively over having beaten Dan. Its almost as if they're treating a victory over Dan as an accomplishment as important as a kinboshi. I guess everyone is starting to recognize the importance of Dan, even Shodai fans.
>>244020Mongolians should be purged from the JSA to preserve the integrity of the sport. Only those born in Japan to Japanese parents should be allowed membership.
>>244417White people are not going to pay 10 dollars per basho. They would rather pay some tranny 5 dollars per month to watch an abema restream.
>>244453>paying restreamerscuck
Of the 7 lower rankers in Ajigawa, 6 made MK. There was a 4-3 in jonidan. This result calls into question the narrative that Aminishiki's epic coaching is somehow a contributing factor in Dan's success because coach Aminishiki certainly isn't working magic with the rest of his disciples
>>2444663 of his lads went 7-0 like 3 times in a row each until they stalled in makushitter hell
>>244466Most oyakata fucking suck at training up their dudes. Just look at the mighty Nishonoseki; without Onosato his list of sekitori would consist of the faltering Shirokuma. The JSA chairman is only just getting his single sekitori back next basho in Kitanowaka.Being a top tier oyakata isn't about training your dudes, it's about recruiting the best dudes. You can't train someone to have physique like Onosato, or a fighting IQ and drive like Hoshoryu. Hakuho first met Ochiai when he was 11.
>>244466We should try teaching Shishi how to uchimuso just to be sure
>>244492Also luckshitting. Hakuho was a 60kg lanklet that Miyagino (a perma Juryo shitter) took on because he pitied him. With the current recruiting rules, nobody would have acceptrd Hakuho
>>244466Ajigawa has only been open for 3 years. It took Hakuho 3 years to go from maezumo to sekitori. Just because megastars aren't produced every other basho doesn't mean they're not good coaches. If you listen to Aonishiki interviews, you see Ajigawa giving good technical advice, instead of the typical "use more fighting spirit" and "work on doing his brand of sumo," so I'm inclined to believe he's a good coach.
>>244492>Being a top tier oyakata isn't about training your dudes, it's about recruiting the best dudes.Brainlet take. Onosato wouldn't have been yokozuna if he was training at Shikihide.
>>244517In Aonishiki's case at least there's also both their styles of Sumo meshing really well, so his advices strike closer to home so to speak.
Whyisn't there any amateur local recreational sumo where its regular guys that have day jobs and just shove each other in a ring
>>244537How much spare time do you think a salaryman has? They just about have time to go home, eat dinner, ignore their families, and get almost enough sleep.
>>244264this.
>>244049jesus man get a suit that fits
>>244264>>244548It's his wife. This is his mother.
Myogiru had better attendance at his hair cutting than Takakeisho did despite having never won a makuuchi championship or reached ozeki Takakeisho must be a horrid little bitch to be so much less popular than Myogiru despite far greater accomplishments in the sport
>>244556I know its normal for /sp/ posters to jump to conclusions that fit their chosen narrative, but god damn man.In general the hair cutting ceremonies are attended by those who are directly invited, and then limited number of tickets are sold. It is up to the retiring wrestler to set the number of available tickets and price.There are a number of factors that go into how many attendies htere are.
I'm fine with basho in late 2022 and even early 2024 being won by Maegashira because our only truly dominant rikishi was Terunofuji who sometimes couldn't fight. But I am simply not okay with Kotoshoho taking home a cup. What a clown show.
>>244559image zak's zfw face when >hey guys I'm le epic ozekerino btw I can only manage 8-7 but some total nonentity in my stable is bringing home cups
>>244537>Whyisn't there any amateur local recreational sumoThere is.
>>244550Mamakeisho is a fine looking woman.
Dan gives he origin story:https://xcancel.com/nico_nico_news/status/1976122721542025415tl;dr he wrestled a radioactive bear near chernobyl when he was a youngster
>>244503>hakuhos dad was an olympic silver medalist in freestyle wrestling>luck
>>244549It probably did fit him when he bought it. Plus there's probably a lot of loose skin under there. The back of his legs look sus.
Kotoshoho
>>244591wrong, that's clearly Yago
>>244591Why did you post Takerufuji?
drawfriend can you do a drawing of Onosato and Hosh like this?I would really appreciate it! I want to make another shirt
>>244604Having the gyojo in the corner of a shirt like a logo would be neat. Maybe put 大相撲 over/under him. Or get all three of them drawn like that on separate shirts, and have three of you stood wearing them. Imagine the updoots!
When you think about it Zak actually robbed Hosh of this yusho. If he hadn't decided to go forma de yokozuna for one single fight Hosh's win over Fatso would've won him the yusho on 14-1. He literally sacrificed an entire knee tendon to throw spite on Hosh's rope.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StEueGwMetsChris sloppa.>Onosato read all of your hateful comments about his panic pulls>Kisenosato says that if you're feeling down put on an adult diaper and do your shiko
>>244608Dan's humiliation of Horse put the yusho out of reach for him, the rest of the losses were all inevitable after that. Nobody gets manhandled the way Dan did to Horse and then goes on to yusho
>>244612Everyone wants you to stop talking.
>>244614you don't need to try so hard to get offended, relax bub>>244608It is really funny to see him go that hard for one match then immediately pull out, hitting hosh with two whammies.
>>244614reading this in my voicet. dan
>I could be eating Shirokuma's chanko right now
>>244608Hosh was the one who damaged his knee, you can see it happen when he wraps his left leg around Zaks knee on the way out of the ring
>>244610Note that Onosato directly contradicts all the Nishonoseki naysayers so suck on that
Rikishi are about to experience a massive culture shock in the Islamic Republic of Londonistan.
>>244643i understand, and frankly love, having rikishi always wear these yukata however having them also endure the fucking geta sandals...Imagine Dan there with that fit an a pair of Air jordans
>>244642I honestly wouldn't be surprised to hear a rikishi got robbed or even stabbed. The youths of London would love to brag about having stabbed a novelty such as a sumo wrestler.
>>244378>should be some transferrable skills from thatalmost certainly, especially for a belt wrestler
assuming i want to go to the Osaka basho as a fucking leaf, what time/date should i be checking for ticket availablity? going to be looking for a box seat for me and my amigos, day of/calendar date before sumo association site says they're available?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urQXDPt8B50Some Kise sloppa for a change. Their cook looks like Zak.
>>244654>Their cook looks like Zak.i thought it was zak for a moment
>>244659>You know I used to be an Ozeki once>Eeeee hontouniiiiii???
>>244660>sugoiiiii
>>244649We need another drip lord.
Fucking newfags dont even recognize my boy HigonoryuFuck this thread
>>244675It is what it is
QuestionOn a scale of 1 to 10How wrong is to call rikishi "sumotori"?I started watching sumo about half a year ago and learning the terminology but im pretty sure i have seen sumo wrestlers referred to as "sumotori" and i thought that was the absolute correct word until i actually started watchingSo yeah, that.
>>244654That wholesome Higohikari interview. 20 years in sumo, no regrets. Still have a goal to reach sandanme. And you can tell he is genuine about it too.
>>244686He'll have to retire eventually, and I'm sure old man Kise and the supporters' association will find him some form of employment, but even something like a security guard or a truck driver seems like it might be too much to ask. I suspect that in a country that properly acknowledges mental illnesses and disorders, he'd have been diagnosed with some kind of special needs a long time ago.
>>244689The JSA need to set up a pensions system for all the lifers. Like, if you did pro sumo for 15-20 years and didnt reach sekitori, you can qualify for some sorts of pension when you retire
>>244692They should put more effort into mocking and otherwise publicly humiliating the failures, that would inspire young wrestlers to try harder so they don't end up as losers. If you do it your way then sumo would end up being just a bunch of lazy Kogas who are only in it for the free guaranteed gibes
>>244693>lazyKoga wakes up early every morning to do the grueling morning keiko. He cooks and cleans for twenty people regularly. Every other month, he wrestles in front of sumo elders. He's only allowed to visit his family once or twice a year. Thousands of strangers berate him online, and we have to assume he knows about it. He's been doing this for years, and he isn't even 20 yet. If Koga was a lazy man aiming for an easy life, sumo would be the last thing he'd choose.
>>244684Rikishi is the term typically reserved for professional sumo wrestlers.Sumotori refers to anyone who does sumo at any level.

>>244750That ASMR? Canan.

>>2447478. Aisle seat ftw, plus near Abi and Tamawashi to get drunk with and fuck with all the other rikishi.

>>244590Use that ozeki cash to go get a new one.Although I guess he'll have way fewer occasions to wear suits now.
What if Putin sees Dan as a potential thread because he is a propaganda victory for Zelensky or something and so he decides to send the KGB to London to poison Dan with radioactive sushi like he did to that other guy?
NHK published the English language version of their Kotooshu documentary https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/5001488/
that was a good documentary
I was a little bit disturbed seeing onosato handling his own luggage when he was coming out of the airport. Hinkaku demands that he should have slaves to do it for him.
God imagine the sheer volume of evil spirits in a Br*tish dohyo.
>>244772that was some cool shit, thank you anon
>>244820Could've fucking shaved. Zak being in the promos is a shame since he pulled out with that MCL tear. I'm hella surprised Takerufuji is going. Has his injury healed? Will he be winning his 3rd Juryo yusho a month from now?
>>244827>takerufujiA complete bicep tear like that isn't something that ever returns to full functionality. If you're very intelligent with your recovery post-sugery you might come close, but this is sumo and we know he won't be.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB2DWjGHisIUkrainian sumo wrestler Anseikin, who is visiting the UK for the London Grand Sumo Tournament, interacted with local amateur wrestlers.Anseikin visited the venue for a tournament for British amateur wrestlers.Twenty-four men and women participated in the tournament, battling fiercely in front of their idols from Japan.Anseikin"I was really happy that my name is being recognized. I want to continue to promote sumo in Europe."The London Grand Sumo Tournament will run for five days from the 15th.
>>244835Pretty based honestly. Any Makuuchi rikishi could walk into any form of wrestling club and be treated like royalty.
Who is taking this tournament then?Will it be Suius or Ommo?Inb4 >Motherfucker so round they look the same
Who is taking this tournament then?Will it be Suius or Ommo?Inb4>Motherfucker so round they look the same
>>244839Hosh will take it. He tries extra hard when it doesn't fucking matter.
>>244537>>244541Japan has corporate sumo leagues.
>>244840Anon, the outcome has already been decided. Hoshoryu will win his previous matches with visually spectacular techniques, before Onosato proves on the final day that Japanese strength and simplicity is superior. There's not a chance in hell that the JSA would allow a Mongolian to win such a rare and important international exhibition.
>>244845America has athletic scholarships, nobody expects them to do any work as long as they win games.
>>244838>>244839He's got this.
Reminder that Hakuho chose Hoshoryu to be part of his last dohyo-iris as a nod to Asashoryu.
>>244838>>244839... He really does look the same
>>244835The funny thing is, I don't think he even speaks english very well. Like he can understand it because that's how he had to learn japanese (you can see it in NHK's docummentary), but unless he picked up a lot in the last 6 months he's not much more enlgando-literate than the regular rikishi
>>244853I dunno, mainland European kids have been accidentally learning English for 20+ years now. His English is certainly better than most Mong/Nip rikishi. Imagine Onosato going into a chippy.>SAKATATOCHIPPUKUSADAIIt just wouldn't work desu.
>>244854>SAKATA*SAKANA gomen
>Chippu? You mean those things in Hoshoryu's elbow?>Hai hai
>>244854Nobody working at the chippy would be English anyway, so it's a moot point. If they can understand Londoners they can understand a fat guy asking for the most calorific item on their menu.
>>244859The rikishi seem to have been instructed to hang around the Kensington area so it's very likely any food place they go into is owned and run by hwhites.
Takerufuji v Hoshoryu in January was so good.>The bronze bull cannot push you if you lift his feet off the groundIt was so SIMPLE.
My favourite shinpan? The skinny bald one.

>SAAR PLEASE NO FILMING HERE SAAR
>>244952McDs is actually very different from place to place. Lots of local exclusives. I would imagine a japanese restaurant in London would have a limited selection of the stuff they have at home and even that would likely be underwhelming in comparison.
So, how do we watch this? BBC + VPN?
>>244983Seems like it's free on DAZN

>>244991It's on DAZN free view, Neville.
>>244992Was gonna say I'm not giving them my credit card info, but you can actually create an account without doing so, they just hide it from you. You gotta quit after you give your email and it works when you click "log in" next time.Somewhat weirdly, thanks, Amerifag.
Seems like its just a replayAnywhere to watch it live?
>>244995Civilized but retarded. >>244996It hasn't happened yet. It'll be live.
so whats the point of this event? any prize money?

>>245018Why do they all have gay puffy jackets? Is it 2002 again?
>>245018>AYO SUMO BUSSIN NO CAP
>>245019What's even weirder is they have watches
>>245022Are UK kids allowed cell phones in classes? Just good practice to have a watch.
>>245022It's the Kensington area, anyone there has money of some degree. Don't think for a second it's anything like the heartland of the norf.

So who'll be first to crack a smile? WMH is my bet.

The crazy ji-san screaming wrestlers names flew in too lmao
Should we migrate to /sp/ for this? I feel like it's worthy of it.
Thanks random trunk old man in the crowd, feels just like home
Wait Kotoeiho isn't fighting right? So he just tagged along with his brother? That's neat.
Can't wait for Hiro to start shilling Sumo Prime Time
>>245063>>>/sp/151394283
>>245065He's fighting Oshoumi.>>245067There was no need for this.
>>245066he just did lmao
>>245066He did it.
It's funny I'm actually learning the rituals even though I've been watching for years
>>245068/sp/ likely doesn't know it's happening and might want to watch. This basho is a big novelty.
Hiro started stuttering already
They should have got the comedy sumos to show the rules
>>245074Good point.
>>245074Yeah I can't believe they're making us wait until the last day for Onosato v Hosh.
"Pint-sized" has now been officially used to describe Midorifuji.
I wonder who will get audience award. Ura is usually entertaining
RIP AUDIO
>>245079If they haven't scheduled Ura v Tobizaru then shame on them.
>>245074Was just gonna write that. What a miss.Easier to stream from two times across the globe through a VPN, apparently.
Fubo Sports get your shit together!
the evil spirits have won
>>245085I dunno, no rikishi got robbed or stabbed so they've done well for three days in London.
>>245086Ofc they didn't. They just waltzed around the richest neighborhood accompanied by translators and press.
Ura not wearing pink
Well at least on the positive side we don't have to listen to Hiro
>>245090On the negative side, no taiko.
Let me give all you yanks a little hint. This is BRITISH sumo for BRITISH viewers hosted in BRITAIN!!!!! No other country is allowed to view. Please respect that.
Not the drums
the bongs have learned how to wire the micrphones
>>245092But the entire Earth is part of the British Empire
we are so back
The dohyo looks unnaturally clean.
>>245097They didn't let the yobidashi build it. Probably union bullshit.
>>245097>>245099https://www.instagram.com/p/DPzNR7AjKnF/
>>245097Brits do it right!!!!!
>Hiro on mic
>>245097That's because there haven't been several hours of lower division fights on it yet.
kino lighting
lmao this is fake as fuck
>>245100I see. All but like 10 cm of soil on top is fake. I bet there isn't even any octopus buried in the middle.
Yea, these bouts are all gonna be worked.
>Hanasumo
This is funny kind of bad now
>>245109Only reason I'm here desu.
Fuck this gay earthThis sucks and i would normally stop watching if this is the level we are gonna be treated to but i also want to watch in case something happensFUCK YOU Probably the big honchos at the sumo association told them that if they come back home injured they better stay in bonglandfuck fuckfuck
Real glad I didn't pay for this shit.
This is such a strange feeling. I am watching sumo, these are bouts happening in front of my eyes, but I feel absolutely nothing.It's just so underwhelming.
Is this what 1991 was like?
>>245113I'd treat it like watching sloppa practice bouts. Still entertaining but there is no stakes.
>>245115Even sloppa bouts are more intensive
>>245115Koga at full power could win these fights.
This shit is so boring i wouldnt mind the undertaker with a steel chair entering the dohyo and hitting Sadanoumi on the backMight as well go full WWE
imagine this being your introduction to sumo
>>245118Last fight could pass for a real one.
Well done by Mita-kun.
>>245121yeah i was writing it during the pre fight rituals and then i felt bad cause it was the best bout so far, maybe a turning point
>>245114I, too, would like to know. Not much footage left online.The highlight so far has been seeing them in mawashi they never wear for honbasho.
Wait chicken legs is fighting?
>>245126Sort of.
>>245120its been my introduction to Hiro commentating matches and im comfortable saying that i could out commentate this guy
>>245128I hope Murray does some commentary
>>245128He was educated in Ohio. Pity him.
What do the Japanese have to say about the bouts so far?
>>245131Ching chong, bing bong desu.
>>245131Likely the same as us.
If horse does a fucking henka this tournament then everything will be forgiven
>>245131Wow the japanese fans are vocal and they are NOT happy
I think that Chura match might have actually been real. Or at least, Chura was fighting real.
>>245136where?
>>245129No chance. He wouldn't be able to take it seriously. Would reveal the whole "you're seeing real sumo" fraud.
>>245131I doubt anyone Japanese was expecting honbasho quality competition from this because nobody's going to risk injury. It's about on par with the other non-honbasho tournaments like the Fuji TV one.
>>245131Japs know what an exhibition match is
>>245136you brought me back to 2020. holy fuck anon
>>245135any wrestler that does a henka this tournament is summarily executed the moment he lands in Japan
>It's about on par with the other non-honbasho tournaments like the Fuji TV one.Is it really? I thought that one had actual stakes and awards, unlike whatever this is.
>>245144There's an award for the audience favorite.
>>245146Topkek. Kindergarden nonsense. Actually makes me imagine rikishi arguing who gets to tsuridashi who.
>>245146Ah yes, the Ura Award.
>>245148its gonna be Aonishiki bcuz MUH WAR REFUGEE
>>245144The awards aren't that big a deal, they don't want to risk injury that will fuck over their honbasho ranking. So it's not like it's fixed matches, but they're not going anywhere close to 100%.Pic related was from a Fuji TV tournament, Hakuho lost the match.
>>245151>it's not like it's fixed matchesSome of them clearly are, though. lol
>>245151People actually thought this was legit, Hakuho at least knew how to act
I'm fine with results being fixed, but god at least TRY and look like a real fight.
>>245151>>245152Yeah, I kinda wanna know how iz works now. Like, the bouts are obviously staged and the tournament winner is pre-planned. But there are actual awards, so do all rikishi just sit down and agree who gets what part of the prize? (Talking about TVs and shit, not the trophies, that obviously goes to 'zunas as per the JSA mandate.)
>>245156you're probably thinking about it way too deep. It's more likely they just meet their opponent the day before and say "You want this one?" "Nah, you take it, but this porku pai is on you"
>>245157>You can win, but I get to be John Lennon when we do it
Jesus, the Nevilles in the chair seats look more cramped than a four-seat box full of Americans.
did somebody stab Hiro?
>>245162Nope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0-AhtIsQbU
>>245163ty
>>245165DAZN is fixed btw, lol
Definitely gonna skip days 2-4 of this.
>>245157Nah, someone has to get the actual physical goods. Or do they just rot in a warehouse somewhere until a yobidashi steals them?
They did the meme!
Fucking hell not another ts*ridashi.
>>245172This is why you need road agents so not everyone uses the same finisher in every match.
>>245173To be fair, they called it yorikiri.
some decent matches on the second half for a "friendly" tournament
URA GAMBARE!!!!
ok here how match go, first we nodowa each other, then you nodowa me, then i reverse your nodowa and give you a double nodowa, you block nodowa with nodowa of your own before u start raining nodowa down on me, nodowa after nodowa, the nodowa come thick an fast and almost get me but i nodowa back with a really big super mega ultra dragon nodowa which devastates ur power level needing u to recharge ur nodowa. i go pitbull supersaiyan and unleash full power nodowa beam but u duck and uppa nodowa, reverse, counter nodowa, double counter reverse triple nodowa, mega nodowa action, go for tsukidashi but i push back off the tawara . then we start nodowa phase 2
>>245174Because they were warping the sumodb stats.
I can't believe so many of you thought this was gonna be "real" sumo
>>245180It's the first time in three decades so I hoped we were gonna get better than Shishi winning via tsuridashi.
>>245182it will look better in hindsight when he's a dai yokozuna
>>245180Me on the left.
>>245180Hakkaku Nobuyoshi choking anon for saying that wasn't real sumo and looks rigged
i have eaten chanko, rice, and a big salad 5 days in a row now, and have fully optimized my chicken meatball recipetruly this is the optimum diet, and good practice for when i have some friends over to watch senshuraku in november
>>245202We are your friends anon here, no matter how nasty we sometimes are to each other
>>245203I'm not. Chicken meatballs? Cunt can fuck right off with that shit.
R8 my sanyaku reformTo get komosubi, you need a jun-yusho or better in the joi. MK at komosubi puts you back at maegashira.Sekiwake requires a yusho at komusubi. MK at sekiwake demotes you to komusubi, but a simple KK will take you back up.Ozeki demands two consecutive yuusho, with one at sekiwake. Kadoban works the same way as now.No yokozuna, because being undemotable is gay.
>>2452100/10
>>245210strong contender for most retarded post in the thread
Pictured here is Onosato Daiki, the 75th and final Yokozuna after the rule change regarding promotions enacted by Anon on October 2025
>>245210You're going about this the wrong way. Instead of removing ranks and making current ones harder to get, once you reach yokozuna there should be a dan system like black belts have. Initial promotion makes you a first dan yokozuna, then you have to meet the promotion criteria (two yusho or yusho-equivalent) again to rank up to second dan. For third dan, you have to get three Y or JY bashos in a row, for fourth and fifth you have to win four and five, and for sixth dan you have to do it for a whole year straight. A seventh dan yokozuna needs to fully sweep the year with six yushos, an eighth dan requires three out of six to be zensho yushos, and a ninth dan must get 90 wins in the year. Tenth dan is only awarded after retirement, to a ninth dan yokozuna who stays active until the JSA's mandatory retirement age, with a minimum of four completed tournaments every year.
>>245219Danfag at it again.
>>245220Fucker beat me to it
>>245219For every dan they get another shimenawa to wear.
>>2452101/10not 0/10 because thats deserved for ELO

Man dohyos sure had to have a lot of bad yuyu and spirits with the amount of purification they need before each day
>>245230An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
>>245231What is the cure for an impure dohyo?
okay that was a fun first match
>>245232https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami
>>245230Yeah, they even had to do all the drumming at once.At least the monkey was entertaining. Still salty it was a tsuridashi variant.
>>245235The problem wasn't that tsuridashi, it was the 10 seconds of being behind his opponent without once pushing.
>>245235>Still salty it was a tsuridashi variant.Also the nekodamashi looked forced, if that happens on a basho we would be hyped as fuckbut since it happened here....now Nishikigi decided to wrestle with his hands down to his waist
FINALLY we get fatsos in the audience.
>>245236Nah, that would be bad if this was an actual bout. As is, it just comes off as silly, which I'm sure was the point.
will any wrestler end at 0 wins? surely not right? surely they will spare any of them that shame
Was Daieisho's mawashi this red the whole time?
>>245240Nishikigi probably.
>>245241Pretty sure.
>>245244Then I guess both Abema and NHK have shitty color correction. Although, DAZN is probably shit as well. No way to know what the damn thing looks like without seeing it irl, I guess.
That ura victory at least was cool, better than all the turidashi
>>245246Yea, if there's one place to pull out the fancy komarite, it's here.
>>245245In my head it's always been red. I'm an ABEMA chad, tho
im expecting a mono-ii at some point during day three at the latest, just to show it to the bongs
>>245249I don't think the head shinpan has a mic or translator.
>>245250I mean... Hiro had one ringside before the matches, why wouldn't they just give him that?
>>245251It was a Br*tish microphone thus impure.

>>245402Give this creature some chanko
>>245403Why? He's still never making Ozeki again.
>>245400Oui. Bonus sumo is always fun.
>>245398What its over already?
>>245406Yup.
>>245398How do you think Kokuryunami is going to cook that?
>>245406Yes, it was a 5 days exhibition and the last day started 6 hours earlier so a bunch of anons missed it
>>245398Heh, looks like that makes three yusho ;)
>>245411Daiyokozuna incoming :)
>Catching up the last day because I was at work>Tamawashi steps up>Please got not the story>GOD FUCKING WHY
>>245415
>>245415>>245416
>>245417Haha!
>>245415Aight I finished watching. It was all just so shit. If I took a shot every time a rikishi got another's back I'd have been dead on a beach in Tijuana by the end of this poor excuse for a "basho".
>>245416Do you have the webm of that video?
>>245398b-b-but christopher (((gould))) sumo already created a strawman anti-mongol jsa ragebait scenario in which onosharto dishonorably steals the cup from innocent lil' dindu horseshitryu!!!!! i have nothing to be angry about anymore!!!!!!!! and that makes me angry!!!!!!!!!!
>>245424I don't know who that is. Please don't ever @ me again.

Dan was 4-1 and had the best collection of kimarites Ura was 3-2 and did the meme kimarite Dan deserved the technique hubcap, giving it to Ura was a total ripoff
Chiyomaru wasn't in the basho because he was at the more important no kings protest
>>245434Yes thank you
>>245435Ura had this basho's audience award rolled up years ago. It's just a shame he didn't do a flip.
>>245438He did in the last match.
>>245439Wasn't a forwards flip, doesn't count.
>>245440It wasn't fucking backwards, lol
>>245442Astute of you to notice.
>>245434Is that Stunto?
>>245444Yes. His best joke of the night was thinking he could make yokozuna after his November yusho.
>>245445
Is that where you're supposed to grab?
>>245450>Tadaima no kimarite wa nippuru kurippuru
Tobizaru wants to be popular. Ura simply IS popular. They are not the same.
>>245450There are worse places to grab.
I just bumped into one of them sumo fellas buyin some snacks at a Sainsburys next to a casino. I asked "did you win?" and he just sullenly said "yeah" in a gruff voice. Prob had no idea what I was saying. I tried looking up the current best sumo wrestlers to see if I could recognise him but too many rook the same. He kinda looked like that Hoshoryu guy who won the London tournament but I doubt a champion would be walking around a supermarket close to midnight. Pretty cool to meet a sumo up close though; absolute unit of a man.
>>245450I'm trying to convert a gif to postable size, but in the meantime have this screenshot from US sumo event in June. Dude won with a groin grab and the judges ruled it legal as "inner thigh"
>>245466This is why mawashi exist, because the groin part is the definition of what's considered illegal.
>>245466Me at the back.
>>245450
>>245467>This is why mawashi existMore like this is why doing anything at a competitive level just isn't fun; there's always some assclown gaming the rules.
>>245465None of this happened.
>>245466And people told me that the grabs in Lords of the Lockerroom were not realistic
>>245473>I'm the boss of this dohyo
>>245474FUCK YOU
>>245472>nooo it's totally impossible to run into a sumo wrestler in a touristy area of Londonnigga please, if I was making shit it up I would've come up with a more interesting story
>>245471>at a competitive level ppl are competitive at all levels
HorseSHITryu can only win in a staged fake basho, in a real one he doesn't have what it takes to win.
>>245476If you were telling the truth you would have said there was more than one. None of the sekitori are going to be without their tsukebito and none of the tsukebito are going to be allowed out alone. Simple logic, my dear Watson.
>>245478Except for the two he already did win, you mean?
>>245476pics or its fake
>>245480The ones he won during the power vacuum when Teru & Keisho were constantly injured were pretty much fake >Hey guys, I won because all of upper sanyaku sat out t. HorseSHITryu That whole power vacuum era between the Tokushoryu & Kotoshoho wins was cringe, now that Dan & Onosato have given the upper ranks a spine the mediocrities will no longer be able to get lucky and sneak a win or two. From here on out you're going to see competition start to return to an era of true yokozuna level dominant sumo; 14-1 JYs, winning streaks that last multiple bashos, 80+ win years, ppl throwing around the term "dai" out of respect rather than pity…Cringezunas like HorseSHITryu stand no chance in an era like that
>>245484>The ones he won during the power vacuum when Teru & Keisho were constantly injured were pretty much fakeHe almost won the last one, he only lost in a playoff with a guy he'd already beat.
>>245485Don't bother. He's just a salty bitch.
>>245487I said it more for people who might be fooled by his bullshit than him.
>>245488I haven't seen Portugal lately, so I don't think anyone here is THAT dumb.
>>245485>h-h-he almost won LOL!!! LMAOOOOOO!!!! LOSER TALK
>>245479There were two sumo dudes in the casino lobby next door that weren't relevant to my encounter.
>>245491How convenient for you.
>>245492Onosato even came up behind me, covered my eyes and whispered "No one will ever believe you" in my ear.
>>245493He was right.
>>245490You're nothing dude, let it go.
>>245402What the fuck are those proportions, like actually what in Christ's name is that. The Slendertran?
>>245498You're cruel. She's a cute giant.
>>245499That is a circus freak. He makes Asakoryu there look like an average man on the street.
>>245501I bet her jump shot is terrific though.

Chris new video has comments turned off lmao
>>245516
>>245524His opinions are just dumb. He sounds constantly butthurt about nothing.
Chris didn't even say a word about how Aonishiki visited that sumo/wrestling club while in London in the middle of his rant about the JSA not doing enough outreach over there. Hell what makes him think that the JSA didn't reach out to London officials? The fact that none were in attendance? If he knew anything about London he'd know that the officials there literally do not care about anything besides themselves.God what an awful video. He's such a tremendous faggot.

Did you guys do your homework about the london tournament?Have to analyze the plotlines and deeper issues
>>245550>the Japanese Sumo Association successfully held a popular and lucrative even promoting Japanese sumo overseas>but they didn't get involved with local politics or take selfies at Knifeington Street in the Chavton-Upon-Bong District and they were too Japanese so it was bad
>>245547>Google it>First result is a football club>Second result is inflatable sumo fat suits for here
>>245550>>245551If anything it's a shame on London authorities that they didn't make a bigger deal out of it. These guys were at the Royal Albert Hall for a fucking week it's not like it couldn't have been brought to their attention. For a city full of faggots who boast about their love of foreign culture this should've been top of their agenda.

>>245566i do find it weird that they didnt have somebody of stature (as far as i know) at least on the final dayThe london mayor or somebody of a similar authority
>>245569"Culture" to British authorities basically just means "brown people".
>>245566its fine, hating or just not caring about foreign cultures is based, England needs more of that. Chris billing himself as a "bi-cultural ambassador" was cringe af, saccharine overdose. he lives in Japan because the people in England who know him best didn't like him enough to want him to stick around domestically. but I appreciate his efforts in attempting to stir up off-season controversy, keeps things interesting, gives people things to talk about once they got bored of banzuke guesses. and lol at him point out that Hosh must be feeling the heat having now gone 4 bashoes as a zuna without a win
>>245570Japan might be on their shit list because of Japan's lack of diversity. A Japanese visit might be considered on par with a visit from Israel. Maybe if they'd brought Ikazuchido along and fixed it so he won they'd have gotten better official turnout
>>245571Hosh's average wins per basho where he wasn't injured is 12.5, compared to Onosato's 12. It took Kakuryu 9 basho at zuna to get a yusho.
>>245572You let Jews and Blacks live in your head rent free, lol
>>245527His insistence on spreading sumo to the west makes sense as he is a western fan, although he obviously fails to grasp the implications that would actually have on sumo. His whole "JSA is racist" schtick is absolute bullshit, though.As for the event itself, the whole British marketing side was straight up deceptive, which would make any further promotion bring the lies more into the limelight. Half the people who were there, if not more, don't even get that it was an exhibition.
>>245573Kakuryu didn't get promoted of off winning out against Kinbozan. Not that he's considered a particularly good 'zuna anyway. The crop is extremely weak right now and it was even weaker back when they gave him the rope. There's no excuse not to dominate. The timing of those injuries remains suspicious, therefore he still has a lot to prove.
>>245528Dan visiting a sumo club where most members probably already know him is a nice gesture but does nothing for the culture.If you're against the idea of spreading sumo culture to the west then you should argue against the tournament taking place at all. Given that it did, his comments are valid.
>>245576All signs point to Onosato being an incredible yokozuna who gets 20+ yusho. Being the 2nd best rikishi at the same time as someone like that doesn't make you a bad yokozuna. Imagine if Hakuho hadn't existed. We'd all be raging about daiyokozunas Kakuryu and Kisenosato. Hell, Harumafuji would've have slapped a fatso for disrespecting Hakuho and would've been a daiyokozuna too. Onosato is going to suck the yusho out of everyone else the same way Hakuho did, but it doesn't make those guys bad. If Taiho had been around during Hakuho maybe he'd have only made 5 yusho.
>>245578>If you're against the idea of spreading sumo culture to the west then you should argue against the tournament taking place at all.There are already enough sumo fans in London to fill the seats, I don't see why there need to be more. Why does sumo culture need to be spread? The bashoes at home are all sell-outs. If anything they need to be promoting it more amongst children in Japan, young recruits is the where the sport is lacking significant support.
>>245579>Being the 2nd best rikishi at the same time as someone like that doesn't make you a bad yokozunaarguably it does make him a bad yokozunait all depends on how you grade your yokozunaif there is only bad and good then it makes him badif there is bad good and satisfactory then maybe he makes the middle grade, which would make him mid.one of the hilarious things about hoshoryu is that although his 12 and 13 win scores don't scream "yokozuna sumo", his 1-4-10 scores unfortunately do.
>>245579>Imagine if Hakuho hadn't existed.Yokozuna Baruto would have been so kino.
>>245581>his 12 and 13 win scores don't scream "yokozuna sumo"Wrong and gay.
>>245581>arguably it does make him a bad yokozunaAll I need to know to know your post is fucking dumb is contained within this first line. Go post your pseudo-frogs somewhere else.
>>245580>Why does sumo culture need to be spread?Because otherwise why have the exhibition at all? To show pretend sumo to your fans while calling it a tournament, take some pictures in tourist London and get back home?
>>245580>Why does sumo culture need to be spread?Because the yen is weak, therefore so long as the exhibition makes a profit it stands to be more lucrative than domestic basho.
>>245579>what if taiho hadn't been good?!? >then he would've been bad!!!hoshoryu's low quality performance isn't justified by you denying reality and coming up with fantasy scenarios in which other good yokozunas weren't good.taiho was goodhoshoryu is badthe jsa only promoted hoshoryu because they were afraid they wouldn't have a yokozuna in london. he wasn't promoted on the basis of undeniable merit like onosato was because hoshoryu can't put on a display of legitimate yokozuna sumo like onosato can. onosato will win 70+ this year and chase 80 next year, hoshoryu won't crack 60 and probably never will, onosato beat 60 his first year in makuuchi, dan will also beat 60 across his first 6 bashos, but hosh can't because he isn't good
>>245588its also part of the jsa's push to make sumo an olympic sport, which they've been after for a while.
>>245590JSA hasn't been pushing for that, ISF has.
>>245589>hoshoryu can't put on a display of legitimate yokozuna sumo like onosato canThat's odd, because he won the same number of matches this past basho.
By definition any yokozuna who does not win 5 yusho as a yokozuna is a bad yokozuna.
>>245592And he didn't even give up a kinboshi like Onosato did
>>245589hoshoryu got promoted because the ydc publicly stated he would get promoted if he had met the requirement and he did, give it up
>start the basho 11-0>"hay everyone look at me!!!! I'm gonna win le yusho!!!">finish 1-4, lose >everyone laughs at you and calls you horseshit
this but you being a schizo and everyone else in the thread laughing at you
Dan has more wins in makuuchi than Hosh does so far this year and Dan wasn't even in the division for January
>>245596>finish 1-4Are you from a different timeline?
>>245598>Someone who's only been in the league a short time is injured less often than a veteranWOW Great insight, Einstein.
>>245588Chris said they needed Japanese sponsors to break even.
>>245599the henka was loss spiritually
>>245601>the sponsor money wasn't real because it comes from country i don't like>t. chris
>>245604Ok but clearly if that's the case they aren't making mad cash.
>>245573>It took Kakuryu 9 basho at zuna to get a yushoKakuryu had 2 other yokozuna and 2-4 ozeki he needed to get through. Hosh only has Onosato and the ghost of Kotozakura.
>>245579>just because he's not Hakuho doesn't mean he's bad!Absolutely tired of this rhetoric. Hoshoryu hasn't even proven that he's on Kakuryu/Kisenosato/Harumafuji level yet.
>>245608The fact that you're grouping those vastly different rikishi into one set just proves how dumb you are.
>>245608>Hoshoryu hasn't even proven that he's on Kisenosato's level yet.Yes he has.
>>245608>Absolutely tired of this rhetoricThen you might as well kill yourself now, because that's just reality, Anon.
>>245608None of those men had made yokozuna yet at Hoshoryu's age. I propose that we have a moratorium on comparing Hoshoryu with past yokozuna until 2030.
>>245613Seconded.
>>245613Hoshoryu will intai before 2030.
Interesting that Dan the 1st also had an extraordinarily rapid rise to sanyaku
>>245566Buddy, I tried to buy tickets and they were sold out within an hour of release, I couldn't get any. The ads went up in the tube way after it was even possible to buy tickets, lmao. Those promos were a waste and any more promos would have been a waste, they would've had to run a month-long jungyo here or put the tournament in Stamford Bridge or some shit to spread the culture more.>>245580This really.
>>245610>won 2 basho in a row>won a basho at yokozunaI don't think so sweaty
>>245613>None of those men had made yokozuna yet at Hoshoryu's ageBecause they had a much higher level of competition to get through which is the whole crux of the argument. You're acting like Hoshoryu faced the same level as adversity, when really Terunofuji was injured for Hosh's entire rope run and Onosato hadn't become a zuna yet.
You're a pathetic crybaby, and I have no pity for you.
>>245617>a coinflip between ozeki and yokozuna finish>and a random sekiwake for some reason
I never knew K*senosato was so bad lmaoooo
hoshtards be triggered af up in this thread lololololol
>>245626That tends to happen with retards spout endless gibberish thread after thread despite being shown how retarded they are in thread after thread. The gayest part is the racism, imo. Being racist of behalf of another race is the height of homosexuality.
>>245627>hosh can't yusho because of racism lmao nopeits cause he sucks
>>245625>OMG Kisenosato was so terrible!! >He had more yushos than Horseryu>He can pull off a 14 win basho, Horseryu can't>He could beat Teruronofuji (13-3 against him) while Horseryu never beat Teruronofuji and he only ever fought him when he was an old cripple, Kisenosato was whipping prime Teruronofujiso Kisenosato was way way better than Horseryu, which means that if you think Kisenosato wasn't good then you have to agree that Horseryu is utter garbage and an embarrassment to the title 'yokozuna'
>>245639>Kisenosato was whipping prime Teruronofujilol, no. Check your timelines, chungus. He didn't start dominating Terunofuji until he got hurt.
>>245625prime ozeki kisenosato would probably shit on both hoshoryu and onosato today
>>245639Can you just say Horseshitryu so you get filtered? Thank you
I started watching on april the first basho with Horse as Yokozuna, so im as fucking casual as it gets, but im super invested now.I have no problem whatsoever with anybody saying that Onosato is poised to end up with a fantastic legacy and that he is probably right now a better Rikishi than Hoshoryu.That said im way more escited about Hoshoryu's matches, i find Onosato's style of sumo of just pressing W on his keyboard to be a bit lacking.Thats all, im aware nobody cares about my opinion, suck my hairy nuts.
>>245649You can pretty much just filter horse desu. Just look at the post above mine, he's not even trying with his trolls.
November basho when?
>>245655November.
>>245653>You can pretty much just filter horse desuHe knows....
>>245528I don't usually hate on his videos, but this one is ridiculous. Bilingual ambassadors my ass, just let the rikishi have some fun, I bet some of them did not have a vacation like this in years.
>>245661Japs have this weird concept of vacations should be rare and should only be 2 or 3 days long, Golden Week aside.
>>245661A trip like that is one in a lifetime stuff for nips. Just let the yokozuna feed each other hotdogs and shut up.
Actually a really cool picture.
>>245663This "weird concept" is referred to in Japan by the term "en'yasu dorudaka" (円安ドル高), which can be roughly translated into English as "the nation's economy has been fucking shit since 1991."They literally can't afford it unless they're giga-rich by Japanese standards, or it's being paid for by someone else.
