>I have understood the core of my appreciation for sumo. It is not the athletics, nor is it the tradition. No, it is the sheer beauty of seeing how it is possible to sculpt the human body and turn it into an elegant and graceful object in the dohyo. Loading the rikishi up with chanko and rice to increase their mass, and then carefully working the human form into such a thing. And to then see the retired elders shed all of those pounds like tears in rain and assume a "normal" figure once again as if it had all never happened. It is sublime, to witness such control over the physicality of the great ape. Only a fool would dismiss them as merely fat. Yes, this is the essence of what gives sumo its mysticism.

Holy shit even youtube's AI generated subtitles are in on the Horseryu meme

JSA is setting up the narrative where Horseshoe gets a career ending meniscus tear later this year if he can't yusho, if he can (he can't) then after he does he will take 6 or more months off to heal his knee

It is fairly surprising that Aminishki hasn't coached Dan into using henka against guys like Kinbozan, Onosato & Yoshinofuji who have strong fast aggressively forward moving attacks.
If Dan henkas Yoshinofuji on day two then Yoshinofuji will think twice before going in at full force the next time they fight. Even if Dan loses he will eventually reap the reward of henkaing

Did Kankuro get a promotion? I don't remember seeing him do the matsuri before.
I hope he doesn't pinch the offering.

Slava Ukrani nafobros! Dan will win the tournament and prove that Japan can be a multicultural society.
