Did he leave?

>>247084
Doesn’t look like it I just really want that Bukhchuluun kid, does Kotokenryu have a notable background?

>>247085
Not really. He wrestled for Saitama Sakae High School, but dropped out to go pro. Also his last name is Terunofuji's first name... for what it's worth.

>>247086
>Also his last name is Terunofuji's first name... for what it's worth.
Mongolians go by patrynomics or more rarely clan names, so this isn't uncommon. They also have Asian name order, so the given name is second.

>>247088
Interesting. Terunofuji's name is backwards on Sumodb then.

>>247086
Why doesn’t sadogatake have recruiting power like other stables? Seems like a good place to send some athletes given how many ozekis they’ve produced.

>>247090
Their stable is a bit out of the way, maybe? Or they just LIKE being hit with golf clubs?

>>247089
Mongolian names are weird because they have Asian name order, but patrynoms instead of a surnames, and a person will mostly be referred to by their given name. So for example if you were a Mongolian in Mongolia and happened to run into Kotokenryu, you'd refer to him as Mr. Bilguun, not Mr. Gantulga, and the patrynom would only be used in addition if you needed to distinguish him from someone else whose name was also Bilguun. So chances are someone on sumodb or whoever they sourced it from heard Terunofuji referred to as just "Gan-erdene" and never corrected it later.

>>247090
>>247091
They're not even located in Tokyo, not as far out as Kisenosato's stable, but they are over in Chiba prefecture. Additionally they've only had three tsukidashi in their entire history from what I've seen, with the most recent being Kotomitsuki who debuted in 1999, so it might be a personal preference through the stable's history to primarily recruit kids out of high school who start from scratch. They have an above average number of guys on the banzuke and 6 elders, so it's not like they're Tamawashi's stable where it's just three guys.

>>247092
I refuse to call mongolians anything besides their shikona

I refuse to call Mongolians because I can't afford the long distance.

a guy who wins as many as he has as quickly as he has is a dai, the double digit figure is just an inevitable outcome

>>247100
We'll see.

>>247101
Dai isn't about career totals, its about being dominant. If Hakuho has only managed 10 wins in he lengthy career nobody would consider him dai.
Teru's claim to dai has more to do with that stretch in 2020-21 where he managed 5 wins & 3 JYs in a year and a half than it does with his total of 10 Ys.
Similarly Onosato put up 5 Ys & 2 JYs in a 9 basho stretch, he is dai, he has been head and shoulders above all other competitors for the past 18 months, only difference between him and Teru is Teru's claim is weak because his period of domination was short while Onosato looks like he could last for many more years being the favorite to win in every basho.
It'll only be about another year before people will start to complain about him winning all the time making the sport boring.

>>247085
Buhkchuluun is going to Kasugano.

>>247096
You're underselling Kataonami. 50% of their rikishi are sekitori.

When you remember that Nephew's November 2024 basho was considered a yusho equivalent, it's crazy that every basho going back to May 2024 has been yusho'd by a Yokozuna.

Pretty sure they're set in stone the moment the banzuke comes out but I can't remember how it's done. Something about the highest ranked guy fights the lowest Sanyaku, then it's worked out downwards. You could probably look at the day one matches from September, see what ranks fought what, and copy paste it to this basho since the Sanyaku is the same size.

How many wins do you think Dan will get this time around?
11 or a different number?
This is Dan's 3rd basho in the upper section of the banzuke so the guys he is competing with must be starting to get familiar with his game and him with theirs, will that make a difference or are we looking at 11 again?

>>247233
11 but one of them will be against Zak and one of the yokozuna (the other will pull out by week 2) so there will fierce arguments over whether he deserves ozeki

>>247234
>Losing to 4 shitters
>Ozeki
Nah. What's dumb is that an 11-4 would put him at 33 wins. Meanwhile Onosato got Ozeki on 34 but because of how things fell he had two yusho in that. Dan could realistically get to 35 wins with a 13-2 and still not get a single yusho.

Chris seems to be putting together pre-made, almost completed obituaries for guys who are nearing the end of their careers, ones that can be quickly updated and published as soon as the retirement announcement comes along, first Tamawashi and now Takayasu, I guess we'll be seeing Ryuden soon too, along with Shodai, Mitakeumi, Kagayaki, Sadnoumi…

Dan comes back substantially larger and stronger every basho, so anyone who considers themselves "familiar with his game" is in for a surprise.
Remember Dan's first contest with Zak, Dan trying and failing to shove the big guy's enormous bulk out of the ring, but the next time Dan faced off with Zak, Dan was capable of handling all that mass.
So Dan should be able to beat Onosato this time around, their last contest was pretty much just a slipitoshi loss, not really an overwhelming victory by Onosato, I see Dan beating him this time,

Odds are up for the 'sho

According to Spiffy, the odds of an Ozeki promotion seem to spike if your best basho of your run is the last one, so a 12-3 would make a promotion very likely. 11-4 isn't happening though.

>>247266
>Zak's winrate this year is 50.6%
>He also picked up an injury last basho that's likely to make him drop out of this basho at some point

What crack are they smoking?

he will get promoted on 11-4, that was already announced after the september basho

>>247269
It wasn't. It was the opposite.

>>247268
>onosato won 3 of the last 4 bashos
>odds only slightly higher than a guy who has won none of the past 4 and is averaging less than 8 wins over that span
there are definitely a lot of questionable calls within the initial odds, normally the gamblers end up correcting that and the odd shift on early wagering, but i doubt sumo gets enough bets placed for that to happen much in a western sports book

>>247271
Bookies need bets to cover the winners and make money.

The question they ask is: what odds are going to get someone to make this bet?
That's what they're trying to get. Not the most scientifically accurate odds.

>>247271
I like how you excluded Hoshoryu's yokozuna run to make him look as bad as possible. In reality you Onosato has won 3 of the last 6 while Hoshoryu has won 1 and got a yusho equivalent in another. And to be quite desu with you Hoshoryu's performance last basho would've been considered a yusho equivalent for a yokozuna run too. That's 3 "yusho" for Hosh in the last 6 basho.

Also if we exclude Hoshoryu's injury bashos as yokozuna he's averaged 12.5 wins per basho while Onosato has averaged 12. Hoshoryu IS only marginally behind Onosato to win the yusho. Don't forget that September went to a playoff which went to a monoii (see: based Kakuryu).

Im fairly new to this. Is there a name for the practice exercise they do after the practice bouts?
A rikishi pushes another a few times across the dohyo and then the pushed rikishi switches places and "beats" the one that was resisting who falls and does a small flip on the ground
It seemed more perfromative (even the pushing) than real training.

>>247354
With butsukari-geiko, the man being pushed decides how hard he's going to resist you. Shoving a 300 or 400 pound man across the ring is hard enough if he's a ragdoll, it's a lot like the charging practice American footballers do. However, if the man knows your strengths and weaknesses intimately and knows exactly how to make you struggle more, it can become extremely difficult. It also functions like a drop set in weightlifting, as you get more and more exhausted he can reduce the resistance so it never becomes impossible, but always stays at the edge of what you can endure. You also have to do it at the end of your grueling training session, first thing in the morning before you've had anything to eat. It's not just the hardest thing they do, it's possibly the hardest form of routine training done in any sport.

>watch the new sumo association training session
>Daiesho is chest lending AGAIN even though that's how he hurt his calf and that still hasn't healed
I hate it

Kirishima is looking really solid, I would bet on him doing his now normal yoyoing of shit basho into good one. I think he's getting 10 wins minimum. Daiesho is probably going to 9-6 and 8-7 his way back up until he hits his new ceiling with the top of maegashira being more crowded with talent than they used to.

If Zak ends up kabob& then that increased Dan's promotion chances substantially, the bosses don't like empty slots at the upper end of the banzuke, they think they sell more tickets, merch, etc. if they have more guys at the top ranks

>>247372
>muh empty slots
How many times must we tell you to stop perpetuating this myth? We have three ozeki currently, and we only need two to make a banzuke.

>>247373
I don't even believe that myth about people caring if ozekis are on the banzuke or not. Ozekis are only especially interesting if they're at risk of demotion or if they won the previous basho, nobody is on the edge of their seat wondering if the ozeki will clear 10 wins
But the pro journalists repeat the empty slot stuff all the time so it seems like its a thing. And the JSA definitely gives out promotions on weak and not-quite qualifying scores when they have empty slots to fill, we all just saw it happen with Hosh, so you should expect to see Dan promoted on any double digit score, especially if Zak ends up with less than 8 wins

>>247376
>But the pro journalists repeat the empty slot stuff all the time
Just because journalists are stupid doesn't mean you have to be either.

>>247378
They were right when they said Hosh was up for promotion due to the empty yokozuna slot even though his previous basho was only a JY, that was the last time they made the claim and they were correct so its safe to presume they know what they're saying now

Dan keeps on getting bulkier and bulkier, but he doesn't grow tiddies so you know that his added weight is all muscle. Eventually he is going to get strong enough to overpower Onosato, its only a matter of time.

>>247379
Hosh and Zak were both up for yokozuna at the same time. Had they both gotten it and Teru not retired, we would've had 3 yokozuna, meaning there still would've been an odd number. Neither were up for yokozuna solely because of an "empty yokozuna slot" because that is not a concept that actually exists.

His lower back has been fucked for the last few bashos, I'm assuming it's gotten worse.

>>247386
No, nobody's gone from makuuchi straight to makushita since 1928.

>>247382
They were softer on Hoshoryu's promotion than to some Ozeki who didn't get promoted when there were Yokozunas.

>>247395
Maybe but if you ACTUALLY FUCKING READ you'll understand that's completely irrelevant to the question of whether "slots" and "banzuke balance" exist (they don't).

>>247389
none have put up 0-15 from m18 either

>>247397
The exact rank is rarely important when it's the person at the bottom of the banzuke, and mostly comes up when they do stuff like Shishi where he got a 7-8 so they technically lowered him a rank on paper without demoting him to juryo because nobody else from juryo deserved the promotion.

>>247396
>reeeee what i say is extra important because i used capslock
yelling or the equivalent only works in face to face confrontations because of the implied threat of violent chimpouts in the case that the yeller isn't appeased.
since 4chan does not meet the "face to face" condition needed, your implied yelling carried no weight here, punch a wall, throw your phone out the window, or whatever. we don't care, can't hurt us.

>>247400
YOU ARE SUPER FUCKING GAY

>>247389
even that doesn't look too reliable a precedent in the context of being a year after the Osaka Sumo merger
if sumodb has the correct data the guy was being bounced up and down by all the rank adjustments and readjustments
eg J3 to Ms7 on a winning record in 1927

>>247400
>In this moment I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessings. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

Hakuoho is a tough opening day matchup for Horseryu who already has a well established history of opening day failure.

>>247386
No he won't lmao. Not only would the JSA never do that but lately they've shown a willingness to give rikishi with terrible scores a softer landing. Daieisho only landed at M10 with his 0-0-15 from S1e, and Gonoyama only went -10 on his 1-14. A kyujo M18e would probably land at J10.

>>247404
In the last 6 basho the only time Hoshoryu has lost on opening day was a basho that he dipped due to injury. Man these threads really can be improved by filtering the word horse can't they.

>>247404
Hoshoryu has never lost to Hakuoho. Onosato, meanwhile, has a losing record against Hakuoho. You are getting more and more pathetic with every attempt, Anon.

>List of rikishi for whom winning this basho would be acceptable
Onosato
Hoshoryu
Kotozakura
Aonishiki
Takayasu
WTK

Anyone else winning would be an affront to my sensibilities.

>>247409
No Kiri? Oho?

>>247410
Not him, but Oho looks like he's in terrible form. He was losing to Tamashoho in the recent all-stables vids.

>>247410
KiriSHITma is over it and won't achieve anything for the rest of his career, and Oho just isn't ready for it. If Oho can find Sanyaku consistency I'd be fine with him getting a yusho a couple basho from now, but I wanna see consecutive double digits from him before that point.

>>247294
I need to see more of this guy, he's unintentionally hilarious with his hands

>>247406
he lost half of his last 10 openers
>this loss doesn't count because reasons, he had a doctor's note an sheeeiiit
what about when he won on opening day and then quit the basho, how come you count that one and not the loss?

>Heh, if I use cutoff points that favour my opinions on rikishi I can paint them as poorly as possible, looks like I win
Adopt a trip so I can filter you.

Seems like Hakuoho should have a pretty good chance at beating Hosh on day 1, anyone who can beat Onosato twice is definitely good enough to hand Hosh a loss.

>>247422
Hakuohos shoulder is gone and he will barely KK

someone on the nhk show mentioned takakeisho's skills as a coach showing through in takanosho's performance so I looked up the records of the rest of the stable and it seems like takakeisho might really have strong skills in that area, nearly all the lower rankers put up 6-1s or 5-2 except the guy who kyujo'd and the jonidan guy who lost to koga. 5 out of 5 KKs in makushita and higher.
Tokiwayama moved up a bunch in the stable power ranking too

imagine if you could put takerufuji's upper body on shishi's legs

>>247435
Rumour has it that Takanosho picked up some ACL damage and isn't going to fare too well this basho. Also Takakeisho simply joining a stable as a trainer would likely inspire any bunch of fatsos to work harder. And lets not act like Takanosho doesn't sometimes spike basho really hard. He beat Teru once last July then came close in the playoff.

>>247435
>guy who lost to koga
coaching skills invalidated

Depends on the context. During tours or shows, it's definitely more performative. But in serious practice sessions, it's like doing weighted sled pushes after you did dozens of rounds of sparring.

Not everyone here has negative feelings and reactions towards everyone and everything around them. But /sp/ especially has the stigma of you must absolutely fucking shit on everything and everyone possible. Anything posted in a positive light has to be derided for the lulz, because appreciating something on a deeper level and trying to understand how they got there is cringe.
When I was new to sumo I greatly disliked Takakeisho, for how he looked, moved, and "simple" style. I grew an appreciation for his sumo over time. The timing, pinpoint thrusts and overall movement were sublime the few times he was healthy. His ability to stand people up and knock them back was wild. There is a reason Daieisho and Takanosho both respect the man. With similar styles, and arguably better bodies for sumo, they have been beaten by the hamster.
Anyways, If I was going to simp for anyone it would be Kiribayama.

It is presently early Sunday morning in Japan, the cool wrestlers, Ryuden, Asanoymama, Abi and the rest of their gang and presently in Da Club chilling with their Kyushu hoes and drinking champagne while their nerd sissy opening day opponents are "getting a good night's rest" before eventually losing to the chads.

Oh fuck I only just realised, I'm off work today so can actually watch the entire first day. I'm a Britbong but working night shifts in the run up to Christmas so this works perfectly. Gonna go get a crate of lager so I can watch fatslap with my friends on 4chan.

JSA reports that Kyushu ticket sales are the best they've been so far this century and advertising banner sales are better than they've ever been before.

Latest Takasago slop features Chiyoshoma and Hoshoryu, and includes multiple bouts between Hoshoryu and Asanoyama who admittedly by that point was probably a bit tuckered out from earlier fights. It's noteworthy that Hoshoryu specifically calls out Asanoyama when Asakoryu is right there.

Tatsunami said it. That said, everyone knows the body is one of the core pillars of sumo, so this isn't an excuse, but admittance that proper health of the body was not achieved. It's an admission of the mistake.
