1st for KUSANO!
Mongolians should be banned from Sumo.
Ochiai > Hakunofuji > HakuohoIf I'm ranking his shikona desu.
>>251299Is Kusanofuji now
>Koga, I'm sorry to hear that your whole leg had to be amputated after Biggufattofucko fell on it on the dohyo. To cheer you up I shaved my hair, its pretty much the same as losing a leg.
I was saving this extremely kino picture of Onosato to make a new thread withbut we've been robbed of that by this >>251291 dipshit, look at that fucking ugly shit picture he used, goddamn what shit fucking choiceso I'll just post it herefuck itcunts
>>251308That is a pretty good pic.
>>251308Truly alpha japanese male
/sumo/ tries to not be gay for 5 minutes challenge: impossible
Any Dan news today?
>>251318It's the last day of Danukkah, the Danfag is probably busy.
>>251309>>251315Imagine how much of a chad Onosato will look after his Sumo career.>6'5">loses the weight
Sorry I kind of popped off there guysIm very stressed irl Ill try not to swear so much
>>251325You have nothing to apologize for, the Danfag should be humbled at any opportunity
So what do referees and dohyo attendants do during the off basho months?
>>251340Yobidashi do an absolute fuck-ton of everything, not just maintain the dohyo. Every job you can think of that isn't done by the elders, wrestlers, referees, or hairdressers is done by the yobidashi, including tasks within stables during training days.
>>251341Oh really, I thought they were basically part timer workers
>>251308ur gay
Dan's ozeki debut has him listed alongside and in some cases above nearly all of the most legendary names from the history of sumohttps://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoTopics/banzuke_topics/2026 January Grand Sumo Tournament Banzuke TopicsOzeki Debut AonishikiThis is the first Ozeki debut since the promotion of Onosato in November 2024.Aonishiki is the first newly promoted Ozeki from Ajigawa Stable since the current Shisho founded it.He is the first Ukrainian-born Rikishi as well as the 14th foreign-born Rikishi to achieve this. The previous one was Hoshoryu, promoted in September 2023.Taking only 14 tournaments since his professional debut means the fastest promotion. (Table 1)Reaching the Ozeki rank in only 5 tournaments since his Makuuchi debut means tying the postwar record for the fastest promotion. (Table 2)At 21 years and 8 months of age, Aonishiki is now the fourth youngest newly promoted Ozeki. (Table 3)Staying without a losing record from his professional debut has not been accomplished since Haguroyama in January 1940. (Excluding Makushita Tsukedashi.)Aonishiki is only the fourth Rikishi since the Showa era to make his Ozeki debut in the tournament immediately following his Sekiwake debut. The previous Rikishi were Futabayama, Haguroyama, and most recently Itsutsushima in the January tournament of 1941.
No one asked.
>>251367>Akebon
>>251372>Akebonio
>>251367Someone stop this zoomer or he will be yokozuna 2026!
Now he's samefagging.
>>251302Can't but agree lad
>>251340The gyoji are responsible for painting the banzookas and similar tasks, IDK if it's enough to fill two whole months though.
>>251372>>251373My shikona if I joined a stable? Akabonito
Reminder that old Asahifuji is based as fuck and basically just holding onto the Miyagino kabu until someone worthy comes along, which will quite possibly be Enho.
>>251379My shikona if I joined a stable? Abi (he retired and said I could use it).
Imagine being a top prospect and joining Nishonoseki. Imagine being told you're being honoured with the shikona of Kisenosato.
>>251381What would your two main techniques be?
>>251367Dan's achievements are so earth-shattering that it brought him back through time to 2016 where he stood amongst the other 4 ozeki and 3 yokozuna. He fixed the timeline by changing the torikumi, which made Terunofuji not kyujo himself for the first time.
What are the chances that after Aonishiki gets Yokozuna he uses his own Dohyo iri in which he dons an adidas tracksuit and squats in the center while smoking?>>251353>>251366Those were very nice thank you anon
>>251367i don't care, i just want to see sanyaku fight for the yusho, no clown bashos please.

Aonishiki steps into Ozeki rolehttps://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/special/04/4480/index.html
Sumo: Nerveless Aonishiki primed for ozeki debut, chases yokozuna dreamDecember 23, 2025 (Mainichi Japan)https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20251222/p2g/00m/0sp/045000c TOKYO (Kyodo) -- A month after securing his first Emperor's Cup and promotion to ozeki, Ukrainian star Aonishiki wore a relaxed demeanor on Monday finding his name at the second highest rank for the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament.The 21-year-old touched on the excitement in reaching the rank in what is the fastest ascension from the bottom of the sport's pyramid after only 14 meets, but was constant in his message that even ozeki is a stop on the way to yokozuna, the sport's pinnacle."I was happy to be announced as the new ozeki on the first day of the regional tour. There were more cheers, and the fans' voices were far louder than before," Aonishiki said. "(But) my desire is to have a go at the one rank above.""I want to make the next year no worse than 2025, win the title again and will work hard to become yokozuna. I have confidence in my wrestling style that brought me this far, and there's no need to change it just because I've won promotion."Having fled his country originally to Germany amid the war with Russia, Aonishiki, whose real name is Danylo Yavhusishyn, arrived in Japan in April 2022 before making his grand sumo debut in September 2023 at out-of-rank maezumo.The youngster has since taken the ancient sport by storm, particularly with his ability to keep a low, forward-leaning stance throughout bouts, which he credits to his background in freestyle wrestling."You fight while keeping yourself low for six minutes in wrestling, so my abdominals and back muscles developed. I'm making the most of them now," Aonishiki said recently.
After fighting mostly on mats rather than sand in Ukraine, even in sumo, Aonishiki said he also had to "get used to" the fierce, head-on crashes at the start of bouts, as well as facing opponents with big weight differences on a daily basis in professional sumo.But that did not derail the Vinnytsia native's formidable rise as he broke Bulgarian-born Kotooshu's record for the fastest rise to ozeki by five meets. He also tied former yokozuna Azumafuji and current grand champion Onosato for the fewest meets needed to reach ozeki after the top-tier makuuchi division entrance, at five.Inspired by his countryman and heavyweight pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk for his "devotion" to boxing, Aonishiki also said former European ozeki of Kotooshu, Estonian Baruto and Georgian Tochinoshin, as well as legendary yokozuna Taiho who had a Ukrainian father, are all on his mind as he surges his way up."I certainly know about them. It's an important part of sumo history, and I've studied them since I was in Ukraine," he said.Motivated to follow in the footsteps of Sergey Bubka and Andriy Shevchenko as one of Ukraine's leading sporting figures, Aonishiki said he is "ready to help in any way possible" if more talent from his country follows him into the sumo world.His stablemaster Ajigawa, former sekiwake Aminishiki, acknowledged the burden that comes with battling in the second-highest rank as being a "role model on and off the dohyo," and Aonishiki was up for the challenge."I'm learning from him how to wrestle without stopping, (always) applying subtle technique and not giving opponents time to think," said Aonishiki, a courteous character who was still in the second-tier juryo this time last year."Having entered the world of sumo, there's no point if I don't aim for the very top. It's not a place everyone can reach, but I want to do everything I can to get there."
>>251466>>251467danschizo really dumped the whole article solely so he could post 2 dan pictures in a row.
>>251291Hakuho's Dohyo-iri was nice earlier on in his yokozuna stint. As time went on though and he started doing all that extra shit, it just got worse and worse.
>Hoshoryu has picked up a minor injuryYou could set your watch to this happening just before every basho.
>>251477I’m actually a fan of his but… it does sound like a preemptive John…

Behold, the last time we had a perfectly balanced banzuke.
>>251487It's many layers of stiff fabric. They get loose sometimes, but they rarely ever come fully undone.
>>251492The fuck are w*men doing wearing a mawashi?
>>251493Fag.
>>251494Segregating yourself away from strong opposition is a disgrace to the concept of sumo, and it's central to w*men's sumo.
I'm willing to bet that Shodai infected kotozakura with his salaryman ozeki disorder somehow
>>251497It's Daieisho who infected him.>Dude just go 8-7 constantly they'll keep paying you lmaoooo
>>251495You need to stop being so fucking gay.
>>251499Shut your stupid fucking mouth, retard Youre a fucking virgin anyway, your orientation is literally irrelevant, you handsexual
Obscene levels of projection, bud.
Hakuho dies in a car crash in 2012. Besides Chris making videos about how racist Japanese cars are, how many yusho does Kisenosato retire with?
>>251506I think he would've made Dai-yokozuna at least. Probably a similar career to Teru.
>>251498>Immediately after Zak's yusho, Daiesho stops pulling 8-7s and goes 11-4, 9-6, 10-5>Zak goes 5-10, 8-7, 8-7 at the same timeSeems to me like Daiesho absorbed Zak's life force instead

>>2515067 yusho won outright, with the possibility of an 8th if he beats Harumafuji in a playoff in January 2015, promoted to yokozuna May 2016, 2 yusho as a yokozuna. They wouldn't even bend the rules for him in 2013 because even without Hakuho his juns wouldn't have been strong enough.
>>251530Their new YouTube channel is really good. Seems to be some actual production put into it.

https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2025/12/25/articles/20251225s00005000128000c.htmlScandal at Kise stable, wallets have been violated. This could be a big one boys, possibly the biggest in years>On November 7 at the Kise's Kyushu residence, Master Kise became enraged after finding out that wrestler B had stolen cash from wrestler A's wallet. Master Kise then grabbed wrestler B and punched him in the face with all his might at least five or six times followed by nowadas and finally using a beltless arm throw to put wrestler B on the floor. This assault falls under Article 4, Section 5 of the Sumo Association's Violence Prohibition Regulationswrestler B is probably Takano
>>251587Should be put through an hour of Kinbozan butsukari as punishment.
>>251587Finally some good slop
>>251587>Master Kise then grabbed wrestler B and punched him in the face with all his might at least five or six timesBased
>>251591>Okaryu in intensive care after Tatsunami beat him within an inch of his life for stealing from HoshoryuWhere did you get this photo???
>>251587>>251592takano is useless sack of shit anyway, he's on par with moriurara, who eats the most at otakebeya, which is quite something when you have Oho and Mudohou in the stable... just a fat fuck with brain damage
>>251587But Takano was at Senshuraku on november 24, no bruising and looked quite jollyWrestler B is most likely HigohikariWrestler A could be Sengaku or even Shiden (as he is currently in makushita) both absent from senshurakuanyhow waiting for chris shizo video and inevitable comparisons to Miyagino Nishonoseki Isegahama etc.
>>251597He won't compare the incident to Miyagino because Kise will be punished for his actions while Hakuho was punished for his inactions.
>>251598"Miyagino closed after one incident yet Kise remains open after multiple scandals, showing kise oyakatas incopetence"maybe something like that idk
>>251587>>251597my bet is on sengaku and higohikari and sengaku retiring.
>>251599Kise was punishing a blatant act of wrongdoing. Besides that he's been exemplary as a stablemaster as far as I'm aware. His sekitori count is up there with Isegahama. That's why he'll get a slap on the wrist.
>>251603This + there are still guys who remember the days when it was completely normal to do this shit, e.g. Kasugano who beat Tochinoshin with a golf club over some nothingburger is currently one of the riji. The way they see it, a sumo wrestler's job is to take a beating, it's nothing to go nuts over.
Takano was definitely involved he didn’t wrestle in Kyushu and hasn’t been featured in their recent slop videos which is unusual. I don’t think it’s sengaku as he has been in the most recent video which just released.
>>251592This
>Steal>Get punished>"AAAIIIIEEEE SAVE ME HAKKAKU-SAMAAAA"
>>251605Maybe Takano was still shaken up at being stolen from???
>>251587WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONGYour idiocy has impugned Kise Oyakata for nothing, you fucking moron, you should be sued for libel>According to an investigation, on November 7th, at Kise beya's Kyushu tournament lodgings, rikishi A punched rikishi B in the face with all his might at least five or six times. After confirming that rikishi B had stolen cash from rikishi A's wallet, he became enraged. While rikishi B did not receive medical treatment, he suffered bruises around both eyes and was forced to withdraw from the Kyushu tournament. The Kyokai stated, "Although we acknowledge that rikishi B was also at fault for stealing cash, this is no reason to condone such heinous violence. Furthermore, rikishi B has confessed to having been subjected to violence by rikishi A in the past, and although rikishi A denies it, other rikishi have given eyewitness testimony, so we have no choice but to conclude that it was a habitual offense." Neither rikishi has ever been a sekitori. Rikishi A was deemed appropriate to be given a disciplinary punishment of a two-tournament suspension, but he has decided to take responsibility and retire. Kise Oyakata submitted a retirement notice to the Kyokai. At the board meeting that day, it was decided that the "voluntary retirement will be accepted." "While we have accepted his voluntary retirement, we have confirmed that if disciplinary action had been taken, it would have been equivalent to a two-tournament suspension." Kise Oyakata was demoted for violating his supervisory and reporting duties, as well as for having a history of disciplinary action.
>>251612>Neither rikishi has ever been a sekitoriKazuma???
>>251614I dont imagine anybody in Kise slugging Kazuma lol. He'd tank that and slap you back onto the floor. He also wasnt the rikishi A since he participated in November tournament.
>>251615Kinbozan would do it to assert Kazakh dominance in the name of Asashoryu.
>>251612Something in this feels wrong.>Rikishi B steals from rikishi A>Rikishi A hits rikishi B for doing this>Rikishi B then claims rikishi A routinely hits himWho the fuck steals from someone who routinely hits them???
>>251617its probably also some MTL hallucinationwait for the chris sloppa
Imagine telling a young Hawaiian football prospect that he'll be what Musashimaru is now.>Half a brain>400lbs>Bitch boy to old Japanese salarymenStill think he'd become a rikishi?
>>251619>respected elder>comfy life of good eating in a nice place surrounded by your family and rikishiYeah I think he would
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDfcGULqltQMusashikino.>Beya goes to the beach>Konishiki joins them too
>>251587A severe lack of hinkaku.
>>251619At least he's happy, unlike you.
>>251618From what I remember Chris is a regular supporter of Kise stable, goes to their sensharaku parties and stuff. He may actually have some insider knowledge, as opposed to making it all up.
>>251627>they actually let him in the doorOpinion of Kise beya: drastically lowered.
>>251628They let anyone in the door who pays. Chris' flaw is not understanding that he's just a fan who pays to be in a supporters club, like any other, and thinking he's actually some insider.
>>251629I'm basically the same as a rikishi if I watch a stable once on youtube
Reminder that Onosato was down long before Dan was
>>251638Retard
>>251638this isn't the shot that shows it, dumbass
>>251629>They let anyone in the door who pays.Yeah, well, if they had any sense it'd be anyone except one person.
>>251291
>>251638Coping like this is shameful. You are an embarrassment to Aonishiki, you know.
>>251638does anyone have the Onosato toe pic since this guy is retarded?
I just heard from a trusted source that Kise stable will be shut down and all of the remaining wrestlers will be transferred to isegahama stable.
>>251656Honestly Kinbozan could learn a lot from Teru since he's got the height to pull off the clamps.
>>251610sengaku is the only rikishi beside higohikari, that isn't on the banzuke for hatsu basho. higo is most probably banzukegai again. Also, anyone could steal from takano, he's just a retarted punching bag.
>>251664nevermind sengaku is there. there's one rikishi missing from kise, cant figure out who
>>251665Everyone listed at Kise beya on the official website was on the banzuke for November. Takano went 0-0-7 so he's certainly involved. Sengaku went 0-2-5 so he's probably the other guy.
New violence scandal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_sZxSWuOEI
>>251670This still doesn't make sense. If A was constantly bullying B why would B steal from A's wallet?
>>251671It wasn't necessarily bullying, it could have been a general rivalry with a long-running history of fighting, petty theft, toothbrush-contamination, and bitchy comments.
>>251671
>>251670Didn't know wrestlers stealing from each other was common behaviour
>>251675That's the real revelation in this video.
>>251671I had sex with my bully's sister.
>>251678Just because you metaphorically beat yourself up over your failings doesn't mean you qualify as being your own bully, anon.
>>251684Too labored
Alright gaylords here we go again. I came 13th last time so you're basically just shitters compared to me.>OnosatoThe Inevitable One. No reason to think he isn't still the #1 pick with K*senosato making sure his injury doesn't end his career.>KiriSHITmaThe best of a bad bunch as far as this pick goes. Like wow, damn, they're all fucked.>The Rikishi Formerly Known As KusanoI expect this joi to eat shit but again he's the best of a bad bunch.>GooneryamaShown he's capable of much high levels than this.>Pussy SlayerFree real estate.>AsahakuryuNo reason to think he won't do well down here, plus he gets to dodge Asanoyama.>Sub: AbiFuck knows what's wrong with him but he can do much better than this.
>>251665>>251668Sengaku was in the recent Kise sumo slop videos which were recorded around the same time as the incident and released in the last week or so. Takano is not present in the recent videos. Plus sengaku seems like a nice guy I doubt he would be the one bullying Takano.
>>251687I scored low but that's because I pick wrestlers I like rather than the best possible
>>251689Honestly any of the top 3 guys (see: not Zak) are respectable picks.
>>251687You're going to get a lot of flak for not picking that one guy
>>251690
>>251691I know, with the Sanyaku expanding to 8 guys it means that Churanoumi at M5w is not only outside the top 16 but also gets to dodge joi rikishi who can't fight each other (Waka bros, Isegahama bros), but he simply lacks the consistency to be a reliable pick.
>>251690>see: not Zakrude and uncalled for
Both yokozuna are nursing injuries, and Aonishiki is going to have ozeki hangover and first yusho hangover at the same time, so January is going to be prime opportunity for another maegashira yusho.
>>251704Kotozakura will prove his worthiness of ozeki rank and win the yusho.
>>251705Truthfully this is the best storyline for next basho. I want to see both ozeki pushing for zuna.
I JUST WANNA SEE DOUBLE DIGITS OUT OF HIM ONE MORE TIME :(((((
>>251708All he needs to do is 8-7 to maintain his salary.
I want Kazuma vs Fujiryoga bout in juryo for maximum fat ugly bastardism
I remind myself that Kakuryu was a mediocre fuck as ozeki until he pulled two basho out of his ass to get promoted, so maybe Zak just needs to get his head out of his ass just long enough to take the next big step.I also remind myself of Goeido, so maybe not.
Dan will win
>>251704Let's just say that Asanoyama will be sanyaku again in march :)
>>251714That would require a 15-0, the JSA sticking to its math promotion, AND an overpromotion on top of it.
>JanuaryZak 15-0Dan 14-1>MarchDan 15-0Zak 14-1Double promotion.Four zuna.
>Kayo got a passport just for London>Was demoted before he could use itLmao
lol
>>251711
>>251720
>>251723They're destined to fight
>>251723>>251726Fujiryoga looks fine for his weight. Kazuma definitely has an ugly bastard element going on though he's no Myogiryu or even a Nabatame. He's just fucking huge.
>>251687Behold my supreme tactical choices of only kino rikishi
>>251717Will never happen but I'd honestly like to see what a lengthy 4 yokozuna period is like. Even though there have been multiple, there's never been a lengthy run where all 4 were healthy at the same time. It's always one or two of them hanging on while another one or two newcomers appear.
>>251728>Oho>KinoAbsolutely not. He's a coinflip rikishi in terms of performance. KiriSHITma is the one to go for here. Or at least go for WMH because of how honest his sumo is.
>>251730I still have faith that Oho will have a breakthrough moment and become great It'll happen
>>251731>Two more basho!
>>251723>>251726>>251727No way you can compare Babutame to those ugly fools.
Kazuma has only two losses in his professional career. One was the fight that injured him for almost a year. The second was a Makushita playoff loss to Tatsuosho. This kid is nuts and I can't wait to see him rip through sekitori like a hot knife through butter.
>>251735Shit what crack am I smoking, the loss to Tatsuosho wasn't Makushita, it was a random Jonidan playoff loss.
>>251735Kazuma is the great japanese hope. He will make onosato look like horshityu.
Just realised I can shorten my filter from "horse" to "hors" to catch comments like that one.
>>251663kinbozan lacks confidence in his style of sumo. he and takonosho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC6c4y_ghUg
>>251735>>251723He will be so handsome in a few months with an oicho
>>251714>couldn't Yusho in his return to JuryoHe's not getting back his Ozeki spot
>>251748Sure he will, they'll let anyone be ozeki these days
>>251750Zak is a good ozeki even though the last year has been tough. He has the toughest schedule ever basho and mostly has held his own even with injuries. He really should just skip a basho and go kadoban to recover
>>251751Him & Onosato were the only ones in the top 16 capable of making KK for the past 5 bashos
>>251751>>251753I like 4tits man he has an intimidating pre-bout pose where he shrugs his shoulders and stares intensely.
What went wrong?
>>251761The Curse of Grandfather's Ghost
>>251756he looks stupid
>>251766Bet you wouldn't talk shit to his face in the dohyo faggot.
>>251761>Crush a yusho>Swear on your grandfather's grave that you'll return to perform your dohyo-iri there as Yokozuna>The evil spirits hear that he intends to perform his dohyo-iri outside a dohyo or shrineThat's basically it.
>>251765>>251768oh shit curses are real
Zak hasn't won on day 3 of a basho since September 2024.
>>251768God I love evil spirits
>>251768Guy like Dan & Onosato who can climb through the sanyaku section of Banzuke like they're Teru going through jonidan are an anomaly. Zak isn't at that level, he was in lower sanyaku a long time before getting ozeki and when he did it was a total surprise, nobody was expecting it. So he should be expected to linger at ozeki a while before moving higher if he is ever going to make it.
>>251770Dan has never lost on day 3also never lost on day 8

>>251780>reddit beya
Watching Nabatame eat with the low rankers is just sad :(
>>251781WRONG. Everything in sumo is ours. Reddit owns nothing except dan spamming.
Dr. Takasu is an Ajigawa beya supporter. The man has impeccable taste.
>>251780No Christmas. Just Shiko.
>>251781Tatsunami is by far the most Reddit stable. Just going by the comments there are way more foreigners posting and they have the world wide supporters club
why is it that redditiers always hate getting called out for being from reddit? why are they so ashamed of themselves? its almost as if they not only know that they're universally despised, but also understand why they're universally despisedreddit.com/r/futagoyama/

Asahifuji has a 100% win rate which is even better than Raiden.
>Yokozuna Asahifuji only went 2-1 in MaezumoOCHILSAIKAN...I KNEEL...Also since Koga went KK in Jonokuchi he might dodge fighting nuAsahifuji entirely. We're probably going to miss out on some serious kino.
>>251804Give us a hint?
>>251761Along with the curse (the very real cost of running your mouth), there's the unfortunate timing that his knees began to break down at the same time as the wrestlers around him began to become higher level. There are now significantly more guys around him that have a good shot of beating him if things continue as is and he never recovers and improves again.
>>251821>>251823Because he spent 5 years just training before he debuted. Most guys train as they fight.
>>251828It's not about training it's about age. 18 year olds are nowhere near as strong as 23 year olds can be.
>>251832>The descendant of Yokozuna Mienoumi v the inheritor of Yokozuna Asahifuji's shikonaYou know that clip of the two women in the front row gooning as Asanoyama sits down? That's what every woman in the crowd would be doing.

https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2025/12/28/articles/20251228s00005000027000c.htmlYoshinofuji is a Dan posterHe is saying things like "Dan is my hero" "I want to be just like Dan" "Next year I'll do my best to join Dan in sanyaku" "Riding in the parade with Dan inspired me" "My collection of Dan merch is twice as big as Ichiyamamoto's Wakatakakage collection"
>>251873"We should rename it to Danyaku"
>>251873I wonder how Ichiyamamoto feels about Wakatakakage now that he outranks his hero. How can you hero worship someone who is ranked below you?
>>251875It's the story that people admire. WTK is from Fukushima and found the inner strength to yusho after the earthquake and nuclear plant disaster. That plus coming back from bad injury is a great story. Likewise Dan has a great story of escaping war, moving to a strange land, and becoming an Ozeki.
>take the grand sumo highlights from every day of a basho>put it on a dvd>sell a highlights dvd for every basho for like $20>~6 hours of sumo at a reasonable price>no, let's instead purge the entire internet of any signs that previous bashos ever happenedDo the JSA and NHK hate making money?

>>251908He won't.
>>251909Has anyone ever reached sekitori in four basho undefeated? Kazuma just did it in four but lost a match along the way.
>>251908He will lose 100%. The pressure will get him and some makushita veteran will just pull him down
>chr*s sumo video spamI will never watch your videos you retarded fucking gaijin.
>>251910Not from jonokuchi, no. The only person in recorded history to not lose a bout in 4 basho from their jonokuchi debut was Tochigiyama back in the early 1910s, and one of those was an azakuri.
NSKino

>>251950Fucking newfag, it's always the second Sunday.
It's been 5 years since we had a perfect banzuke
>>251587What's the world coming to when a master can't even beat his students anymore?
>>251952For me? It's Ichi being just one 8-7 from Sanyaku debut.
>>251954I think he got robbed for this banzuke, he didnt fight any sanyaku but he won his match with WMH so he should have been komusubi
>>251955They don't like jumping rikishi from sub-joi to Sanyaku, especially when it's someone who's never been Sanyaku. They did it with Takanosho from M7e because the guy's a former Sekiwake and there wasn't really any other choice. WMH was only half a rank behind Ichi so was the much better choice.
Why didnt Yoshinofuji get a shukun-sho for defeating Dan and Onosato?
>>251957i guess it's because he lost 3 out of his last 4 matches, thus not competing for yusho.
>>251957gino-sho > shukun-sho
>>251912>I will never watch your videos you retarded fucking gaijin.This.

>Onokatsu had the goal of winning a yusho in 2025LOLWHAT THE FUCK
>>251974In fact fuck it, I'm gonna swap my fantasy Gonoyama pick for Onokatsu. He's outside the joi he's still do okay.
>>251959>>251962oh yeah, just checked and it seems like the only time someone gets a shukun-sho alongside gino-sho is if they get a yusho/playoff loss
>>251968y1e horse is the punchline, thats why its in the biggest letters
>Post starts with a lowercase letter>It's garbageEvery single time.
>>251974I'm sure he has a chance at a juryo yusho
>>251954>>251955>>251956Ichi is going to choke hard in January basho and get dropped again.
>>251986he won't be choking, he'll just be overmatched. he is just another one of those guys like takanosho who is too good to be in the below joi range but not good enough to win at a joi rank
>>251986Don't you dare compare Ichi to Oshoma.
>>251986>>251990Don't worry Ichi bros it's our time to shine. Sanyaku by March trust the plan
>>251992Ichi is certainly in with a shot at kachikoshi so don't write him off as easily as we wrote off "Komusubi" Oshoma. His first week is going to be the worst week of his life one way or another though.
>>251993I can see him beating Horseryu because he is Abi and Abi beat Horseryu
Does that make Hoshoryu an alfalfa male?
>>251999I feel joy in my heart when Ura does literally anything and ends up doing 3 somersaults in a row

Dan & Teru in ye olden days
>>252027This looks like AI.
Is the Dan spammer seriously generating AI images now? Was it a bot all along?
>>252028This is also AI btw, just in case it wasn't obvious by how Teru in 2019 would have no reason to be seen with a random Ukrainian kid. Had Dan even been to Japan before 2022? Lmao.
Found some broadcasts of Onosato's collegiate sumo bouts. Yeah, the vibe is completely different from pro sumo. The vibe is more similar to freestyle wrestling, but except instead of a singlet they are wearing a mawashi and the bouts are a fraction as long. I remember a Konshiki clip of him saying that without all the tradition, it's not really sumo and I can kinda see his point now.
>>252032even if he was in japan, which he wasn't in 2019, there's no reason for him to meet with Teru. Just blatant AI slop.
>>252032>>252038A new low. Can we just vote to have that scumbag permanently banned?
>>252044Danposting is not a crime.
>>252032>>252038Dan was in Japan in 2019 for the World Junior Sumo Championships, where he placed 3rd. As much as I hate dan spammer, the timeline is at least plausible. Can't find the source of the picture from reverse image searches though, so still sus.http://ifs-sumo.org/19-result-jr-men-i2.html
>>252033>I remember a Konshiki clip of him saying that without all the tradition, it's not really sumo and I can kinda see his point now.One of the reasons why western "sumo" will never be real sumo.
>>252033That's why Hakuho's new venture is doomed to fail. Why on earth would anyone do sumo when they could be doing judo or wrestling?
>>252049Sumo barely has any rules compared those, 1. you win if the other guy falls down or gets pushed out.2. Only open palm strikes allowed with your hands3. No kicking above the knee 4. no hair pulling5. Both wrestlers have to have their hands on the ground at the start (in amatuer you have a 2 minute time limit to get your hands down because Ukranians were abusing the tachiai rules)Also, shorter matches mean you can burst all your strength in one go rather than making every match an endurance contest, its like asking why don't power lifters do track and field instead of lifting huge weights?
>>252050Nobody wants to watch a sport where matches are 5 seconds long, and without spectators there isn't a sport.
>>252051>he says, in the thread full of people who watch that sport How retarded are youFeel free to fuck off
>>252050>>252051>>252052This argument is pointless for a simple reason. Without the sumo ritual, it's just yet another form of wrestling that pays less. Real sumo already has recruiting problems because anyone with that body type and skill set can make more money playing third-tier American football. Without the support given by virtue of it being a cultural institution, sumo would be even more irrelevant because it can't compete in terms of actually paying its athletes.
>>252052I enjoy the ceremony between matches and the drama that happens over 15 days. Non-honbasho sumo just doesn't have the same feel.
>>252052This is a slow thread on a slow board on a relatively niche relic of a website. In Japan, sumo is fairly unpopular, orders of magnitude more people are interested in watching or playing sports like baseball or basketball. As a combat sport, sumo's popularity pales in comparison to things like boxing or MMA, as well as other Japanese styles like judo and aikido. Internationally, the majority of people never think about sumo at all. At best, it's relegated to jokes about fat people and seen as laughable and unserious. Fundamental aspects of ozumo like the honbasho schedule, the heya system, and the concept of a yokozuna are all completely unknown by the vast majority of the sports-watching public. Sumo is an incredibly niche and unpopular sport, but we are all so deep into the rabbit hole that we've lost sight of the entrance.
>>252055The vast majority of the public are drooling moronic retards and their opinions are beyond worthless
>>252056Their money isn't, which means their opinions aren't either. You will cater to the desires of the majority or you won't make very much money.
>>252057Wealth and honor obtained unworthily are to me as a fleeting cloud.
>>252056>>252058Then why bother trying to appeal to them in the first place, as Hakuho is trying?
>>252058That's probably why you don't run a successful sporting organisation.
>>252059Why indeed>>252060Probably
>>252060Neither does Hakuho LMAO
>>252063The fuck is that dogshit chonmage?
Reminder that slamming your feet down during shiko will only give you leg problems. The training is in the lifting and stretching.

>>252068Why? He's not even their second lowest raked rikishi.
>>252071So that the grandson of Yokozuna Mienoumi can do the hair of Yokozuna Roga.
>>252072Roga will never reach the Joi

GRAND SUMO Review 2025https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/2067053/DO NOT watch this if you're an Dan hater, you will be badly triggered and might even die of apoplexy
Why'd they put that six pointed star next to Dan? Is he jewish?
>>252081He's from Vinnitsia, they finished off their Jews eighty years ago.
>>252084Aonishiki has nothing to do with it.Just look at this and tell me what group has the same goals and opinions as the pictured (((anon)))
>>252085You are the reason they exist. You're scum.
>>252086ok schizo
Absolutely no conception of irony.

Being a racist conspiracy loon is sad.
>>252080>hiro thinks kotozakura will do well
>>252100zak's knees recovering to the point that he starts putting up more 14-1s isn't out of the question
>>252101his knees are dust from keeping up the weight of his 4tits
>>252100He's only had one makekoshi in the past three years. It would be weirder to think he will do poorly.
>>252051Sumo is the most spectator friendly grappling sport BECAUSE matches last a short amount of time and rules are easy to understand. I've tried to get my non-combat sport friends into stuff like BJJ and judo and they tune out of everything but the most exciting 10/10 matches. But I can put on a decent sumo match and they'll go "neat".>>252053>form of wrestling that pays lessSumo arguably pays more. There's a reason why every good college wrestler who's not quite good enough to make it to the Olympics moves into MMA.>>252055>aikidoAikido isn't a combat sport.>>252065No, slamming your feet down in shiko is needed in developing bone density and tendon integrity. People who only do swimming as their primary exercise have only marginally better bone density than fully sedentary people.
I did some shiko for exercise today
>>252115No you didntYou're a virgin
Thoughts on Terunofuji's run as Yokozuna? Incredible story to even become Yokozuna for sure and his record as Yokozuna deserves respect. But did he benefit from a much weaker field than previous Yokozuna?
Teru's kid will be Enho's size in just a few years, lmao
>>2521282nd row 3rd from left
>>252128Man that kid will be fat as fuck
>>252104well as in kyushu 2024
>>252132The sumo insiders and pros all have tremendous respect for Dan. We're lucky and should feel thankful that we get to witness his era of sumo
what does this arrow mean?
>>252137Where sake bottle goes
>>252137Baffling design choice.
>>252137ASS TO ASS
>>252124Yes, but I'm not going to hold it against him when his diabetes was the only thing stopping him from making yokozuna shortly after Kisenosato did. He was legitimately up there with the rest even that early, not just a fluke ozeki. Though spending so much time injured probably humbled him a lot.
>>252104You say that, but those 8-7s had some questionable bouts if you look back through.
>>252154Part of me thinks he's getting his KK and throwing in a "you scratch my back I'll scratch yours" way. No point exerting yourself to beat Onosato and secure your 9th win when it represents nothing but a risk to your knees. If he has a good start to a basho I can see him putting in a real score again because he'll have a reason to try.
>>252154Did he lose those bouts? Did he get makekoshi?
Kachikoshi doesn't imply someone is doing well. If Onosato got an 8-7 next basho no one would say he did well. An Ozeki is expected to get 10 wins per basho. Zak is doing poorly by every metric besides "is he still an Ozeki", but you can maintain Ozeki with a 26.6% win rate so like shut up.
Yes it does.That's because he's yokozunaNo they aren'tHe's still Ozeki is the only metric that mattersAnd what has his win rate been? In summary, you're a faggot.
>>252158nta but "hachinana ozeki" and "kunroku ozeki" are considered derisive for a reason.
>>252158>He's still Ozeki is the only metric that mattersHere's the only metric that matters:Zak got the same number of wins in 2025 as Kinbozan.
>>252159Irrelevant. Getting a kachikoshi isn't doing poorly. >>252160Tokihayate got more wins. Are you saying Tokihayate is performing better than Kotozakura?
>>252161>Getting a kachikoshi isn't doing poorly.It is when you're an ozeki.
I'd have thought this was a pretty good metric.
Zak has more tits than he does double digit scores since making ozeki.
>>252163Absolutely not because if you're not one of those top 3 guys, then a single 6-9 dumps you out of the Sanyaku.
>>252165Sure, but not out of the joi. And two of those in a row would drop Kotozakura from ozeki, but guess what? It never happened. He only got mokekoshi once in two fucking years. That's doing well.
Someone ITT is really saying that 8-7 as an Ozeki is good.
>>252169good for zak's wallet
Kachikoshi is always good. Always.
>>252171>Five years at Ozeki>Three yusho>His only real bad results are kyujoFuck you Tochiazuma was a great Ozeki.If you want a bad Ozeki we go straight to Miyabiyama, who did so poorly that they wouldn't repromote him to Ozeki despite his string of four basho with results that would've promoted anyone else.
Kachikoshi is always good.
>>252177And makekoshi is always bad. Kotozakura has only had one bad in the past two years. Therefore, good.
>>252179He's never going to sniff a Yokozuna spot ever again though
It took Musashimaru five years to reach Yokozuna, though he never had a stint as bad as Zak's 2025.
>>252181Oh and that's five years at Ozeki.
Mienoumi had a pretty bad stretch.
>>252184>My grandson will reclaim my honour...
I want Zak to make it but frankly, my belief that he can do so is eroding. First, the injuries. All well and good if they heal, but Zak is gambarizing like fuck and who knows if he's healed at all or just extended an injury over an entire year+. Second, the rising level of competition. A higher level of competitors has arisen recently and even more are coming up.
>>252187Zak isn't going to make it. We thought he'd have a berth at the top as a reasonably competent mammoth, but then Onosato turned up, who's just as big but much more aggressive and mobile. Zak isn't a technician or a scrapper or a trickster, he's a wall that more and more people have worn down as they climb over. I think he'll hold Ozeki for another year or so, and then start the real decline.
>>252187Zak is fucked when Fujiryoga comes knocking. And he's FUCKED when Kazuma arrives in the joi.
>>252189Furryroga still hasn't showed he can do anything more than dominate the ass end of juryo and Kazuma is an immobile blob with no knees.
>>252191Both are performing as well as Dan did or better. Dan's 26-2 in his first four basho is insane but Kazuma went 27-1. And no, he isn't immobile, why the fuck would you even say that.
>>252193A few basho ago when Daieisho could've made Ozeki he was trying to get better at belt fighting in the off season. Needless to say it didn't go well and he reverted to his thrusting game for honbasho.
>>252192Dan is a once-in-a-lifetime level of talent, not the kind of guy who comes along several times a year. And when Dan was rising up the ranks every basho people were saying "this time he finally rose to a rank he won't be able to dominate at". A 200kg fatass with bad knees isn't launching himself up to the top of the banzuke.
>>252196You're just saying shit for the sake of saying shit at this point.
>>252196Dan isn't even the first meteoric rise we've had this year. Onosato did the same and went a step further. Fujiryoga and Kazuma and even Asahifuji lower down might flare out like Takerufuji or Hakunofuji have done, or they might rocket up to the top. Everything you think you know about sumo, or about generational talents, or about the clown era is meaningless. You'll just have to wait and see.
>>252199>Onosato did the same and went a step further.sure and takerufuji won juryo then won makuuchi then turned into trash and now he can barely kk in juryo
>>252194>Needless to say it didn't go well and he reverted to his thrusting game for honbasho.Not everyone can make the adjustment like the goat ichiyamamoto
>>252200Takerufuji didn't "turn into trash"; his steroids simply caught up with him and his body started imploding. Goshima and Kazuma won't have that particular issue because they're winning due to being born unnaturally huge just like Onosato. There really is no way of knowing until it happens. I'm excited!
Happy new year from Britain you fatslap enjoying faggots.
>>252201It beggars belief that Ichi has won and continues to win at this level. He doesn't have a defined fighting style and his physique is the least impressive in Makuuchi, and yet here he is at M1e and a kachikoshi from Sanyaku. He's like that old saying about why America is so good at war, which to paraphrase is:>War is chaos, and the US army practices chaos on a daily basisIchi's opponents don't know how to counter him because he doesn't go in with a plan in the first place.
do rikishi celebrate new years?
>>252206New Years is a real holiday in Japan unlike Christmas
>>252206https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqd4SAyqiYE
>>252160You mean the guy the top-ranked yokozuna had to beat for his promotion? :^)
Zak could easily drop a zensho every 2 months but he's dedicated to maintaining the jsa agenda
Does Takayasu still have another JY in him this year or is he too old? He was one win shy of putting up two JYs in 2025
>>252202i don't know what happened to takerufuji but his legs are far too thin for his weight
Look at how solid this sanyaku is, top 5 all have championships under their belts. Clowns have no chance against this
>>252221He never had the makings of a makuuchi athlete
>>252223I'm not a fan and make fun of his chicken legs every chance I get, but the guy was in the joi, and that's proof you belong in makuuchi if you can make it there.
>>252226https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fjztq3SwW4
Happy new year /sumo/.....except for you reddddit faggots, of course.
Reminder that Takakeisho gets to tap THIS
>>252226Until you get a kachikoshi in the joi you're not a joi rikishi. Anyone can do well low down and springboard up.

>>252232I was just talking about Makuuchi tier wrestlers, not joi rikishi, read the reply chain. Here's Roga who has never sniffed the joi, he's not a makuuchi tier wrestler in my book.
only ura can save us
>>252243retard
>>252222Almost a full third of Makuuchi has a Yusho these days.
And Kotoshoho, whateva happened there...
>>252243Roga is such a fucking lucker dog when it comes to banzukes. The guy has gone 7-8 five times and only been demoted once, and every time he gets a kachikoshi he gets overpromoted. From March-July last year he went 23-22 but moved +5 ranks overall by September.
>>252248Actually it's even worse than that. If we add in the next two basho he had just one more win than losses but has moved from M15w to M8e. On a single fucking win.
>>252247He's just resting.
>>252231mogged by Kotoshoho's wife
>>252251No wonder she's always smiling. With lips like what Kotoshoho has I bet he can eat pussy like a Haitian.
>Kusano and Takeru live in the same apartment now
>>252268You can't just say things like this and walk away
>>252268who tops?
>>252269>Kusano does most of the cleaning
>>252270Do you have to ask? Takerufuji is all top.
image that takerufuji is the "senior" but yosh massively outranks him on the banzuke and takerufuji vents his rage and frustration at his own professional shortcomings by refusing to clean. if takerufuji wants to improve himself he should make an effort to try and be more like yoshinofuji instead of being such a lazy slob
>>252269hiv is a hoax and virology is a criminal enterprise also atamifuji 10-5 jan basho
>>252283Anyone here old enough to remember when Atamifuji was guaranteed to be the next great yokozuna but then he got stopped cold in joi and now he is a perennial mid ranker and nobody gives a shit about him anymore?
>>252288Thats what M1E is for
>>252287Reiwa Monster? More like barely keeping his head above water in the joi
>>252288he looks like a skinny fat stoner dragged of the streets, never doing any shiko or strength work, just adding 30kg of fat directly to his belly.
>>252292>just adding 30kg of fat directly to his belly.Supremely based
>>252287I drummed that he would be the next ozeki. I was wrong
>>252294>He's so fucking fatYou got it
whats the right time to buy tickets for a basho? assuming i'm on pacific time and need tickets for the march basho(probably 3rd day but flexible-ish), what time do the tickets become available? 8am japan time or so?
>>252288Wow anon got any more red hot takes for us?
>>252294>I don't get the hype for KazumaAmateur Yokozuna, 27-1 to make Sekitori in just four basho. He has everything he needs to be great.
>>252287Good times
aura
>>252305>>aurahere, fixed that for you
>Can't spell aura without uraWhat this intentional???
>>252287Recency bias is a helluva drug.
>>252298Check out the threads on sumoforum about it. I dont think anyone here has bought tickets and its a bitch and a half from what I've seen.
>>252301>He has everything he needs to be great.Except knees that will support his weight. He's less than 5 years away from losing them.
>>252323Thank you for the prognosis, doctor.
>>252323Kazuma will be sanyaku by September
>>252328I think the earliest we'll see him in macuuchi is may.
>>252328That would require Onosato levels of ability and banzuke luck. Even Dan took 6 basho to go from sekitori debut to sanyaku and you think Kazuma does it in 5?
>>25232845-0 gets him there for the end of June banzuke update, if he can't do that then he sucks
>>252334Kazuma is the new kamikazi that will sweep foreigners from the JSA and back into the sea.
>>252334he will go 15-0 at j14w and get to makuuchi for march which will keep him up with dan's pace
>>252335The JSA will never give more than a +10 jump for a 15-0.
Hosh is reportedly now addicted to sleeping pills, he developed a dependency because he had been losing sleep from consistent nightmares featuring Dan kicking his ass and his ancestors laughing at him.
>>252338yoshinofuji got +13 from a 14-1
>>252338lolwut? They have before, why not again?
>>252341They've shown that they want to soften drops and rises somewhat.
>>251291I saw a Japanese YT comment that said (I'm paraphrasing) that Hakuho's Dohyo-Iri looks like how a overly enthusiastic sumo geek would do a Dohyo-Iri. After listening to some interviews of Hakuho talking about sumo, I think "overly enthusiastic sumo geek" sums up Hakuho entirely. I'm starting to see why the JSA hates him.
>>252344This is basically a twitterpost.
>>252344Get off the internet sometime
>>252347>t. guy on the internet
>>252348A sumo hairdresser somewhere be like>dude I spent 10 minutes on that ginko leaf
>>252349All leaves are made to fall
>>252351They're made to eat sunlight and only fall when they die but you do you with that faggotry I guess.
>>252352Its ginkgo you retarded piece of shit
>>252352dumb cunt
>>252353The Japanese language literally cannot pronounce "ginkgo", and the Japanese for that tree isn't anything close to that anyway, it's いちょう.>>252354>First letter of comment is lower case>It's just an insultEvery fucking time, faggot.
>>252352>They're made to eat sunlightsunlight and CO2
>>252355You are such a dumb fucking scumbagWhy dont you just kill yourself Fucking dumb shitragHey look a lower case letter -> aNow you can cackle about that Fucking retarded lunatic
>>252358:)
>>252355This post is so fucking dumb. The word is FROM the Japanese you fucking idiot. 銀杏 read is gin kyou instead of ichyou.And what the fuck do you mean they can't pronounce it? Do YOU pronounce the second g? How fucking stupid can you get? Do you get paid to be that dumb? If so, you should deposit your earnings at a bank. Or in Japanese, a ginkou.
>>252360"ko" and "kyou" are very, very fucking different in Japanese.
>>252361No shit, Sherlock. How is that relevant?
>>252360"Ginkgo" was a misspelling invented by a dumb German back in the 1700s. In Japanese it would be "ginkyo." But in present day Japanese it's read as "icho" with the name of the hairstyle being "oichomage."
>>252362You said it was pronounced "ginkgo" when it literally is not.
>>252363Yes, thank you for that irrelevant information. >>252364Absolutely braindead. Where did I say that? My point is that the idiot saying the Japanese cannot pronounce "ginkgo" is fucking retarded.
>weeaboo slapfight
>>252365>Absolutely braindead. Where did I say that?Right here >>252353
>>252367That wasn't me and he was clearly talking about spelling, not pronunciation. He was correcting >>252349 this post.
Fuck this lets do another shitty pollhttps://strawpoll.com/3RnYXJXV9yehttps://strawpoll.com/3RnYXJXV9yehttps://strawpoll.com/3RnYXJXV9ye
>/sumo/ posters are so bored we'll fight about spelling and grammar Its always grim between bashos
Horseshitryusisters??? Why is he winning???>>252372Pure sumo soul.
>>252372The only way this would be intimidating is if he actually grew a horn from that bump. Otherwise it's just sad. I never liked his brand.
>>252373>checking the results before votingWhat a cuck.
>>252374Show some respect for an outstanding rikishi who went almost a decade in Makuuchi and took kinboshi off all four 2010s zunas.
>>252377All that and the idiot never made sekiwake? Nah.
NEW>>252379>>252379>>252379

>>252376Wow! What a manifestation of SPIRIT!Forgive my ignorance but, who is the rikishi opposite Asashoryu?
>>252407filename
>>252407Our guy.

>>252409Geez, I’m sorry. That was extremely newfaggy of me. Thank you for being gracious.
