the gods are pleased by the injuries thus far

Back in the day, before man lost his honor, a demoted Ozeki would've retired on the spot for daring to bring shame to the rank.

I do not feel it was Onosato who is a disgrace but either his master or hakkaku, perhaps both.

>>261512
Hakkaku being a tremendous cake eating la-la homo man has been a known thing for a while now. His support of Fujinokawa's recklessness is probably the reason for his current "injury".

>>261513
I'm so fucking pissed his insistence might've been what destroyed Onosato. His career, from everything I've been able to find in sports medicine might genuinely be over and watching his meteoric rise was some of my favorite time watching sumo, I am so gutted. I knew hakakku was retarded but he'd never as far as I paid attention been the cause for someone's direct downfall like this. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention.

>>261512
Holy fuck they totally blundered the best japanese rikishi of this century didn't they.

>>261449
I miss flashbulbs at sporting events so much. Made big moments feel even bigger.

The most infuriating part of this is how Hakkaku's own stable is so fucking low tier. Like nigga, if Isegahama had said this shit he might've had a point because of his 7-8 sekitori, but holy shit by the numbers Hakkaku is such a shit stablemaster, his entire authority comes from his rank and not his actual ability.

>>261517
to be fair nishonoseki was basically gifted a mountainous powerhouse, other than Onosato and Shirokuma(kinda') is anyone else noteworthy in there?

>>261518
No his stable basically sucks shit.

>>261512
Nice schizo headcannon dude.

>>261520
What is the headcannon part? Not the OP but seems like everything mentioned there was written in the media.

>>261521
Mainly the parts where he assumes direct cause and effect based on statements made to the media. I don't care for people posting their opinions on how or why things happened the way they did as if they are speaking absolute fact from a position of greater insight. It's been shown many people will take shit like this at face value, example Chris Sumo's older videos where he speaks as if he knew wrestler's inner thoughts.
Further assuming the extent of the injury and it's progression. As well as Onosato's own feelings and decisions towards it and the extent to which he took outside opinion and direction.
For better or worse it's been shown that many decisions in each stable are left up to the wrestler to handle themselves at all levels of sumo.
I want to clarify I don't see Onosato, Kisenosato, or Hakkaku as a disgrace in this situation. Hakkaku shit talks, that's just what he does, this doesn't have direct consequences.

I don't see how you can say this when they are pressured every time by their elders in public spaces. I can't even imagine what it's like behind the curtains. Even if the decision is eventually up to the wrestler, they still live and are influenced by this system where everyone is expected to fight through,

>Hakkaku shit talks, that's just what he does, this doesn't have direct consequences.

You say this like he is just some bloke who is a fan of sumo, but in fact he is the top guy. His comments represent the whole JSA and the sport. His leadership is a direct cause of the career decline of the most promising rikishi. There could be a world where the sumo elders treat injuries like real problems with real solutions, instead of treating them like some fault of the psyche, where the rikishi is "just not working hard enough".

>>261526
Look, I understand you hate Hakkaku, and I agree that I would prefer for "sumo" as a whole to treat injuries differently.
I'm not disagreeing that sumo elders have influence on those below them.
But again, you act like his comments have a direct and provable outcome on a wrestler's decisions, which is insane.

It's entirely possible Onosato himself felt surgery wasn't necessary at an earlier point. We however don't know.

>>261528
No I don't hate Hakkaku, he is also a victim of the same system. His career also ended the same way.
But I do wish he would try to make systematic improvements, instead of furthering the problem, especially in an era where sumo is making a resurgence.

>But again, you act like his comments have a direct and provable outcome on a wrestler's decisions, which is insane.

the guy is basically like everyone's boss, there's a very clear power dynamic here that happens in literally any career and I believe it's a little lame to suggest just because Hakkaku didn't personally directly ask these guys to be reckless doesn't mean there wasn't any influence.

but I'm not gonna blame Hakkaku personally. These shoulder ligament injuries are a hell of a thing and even if they had done everything in the world it could have already ended Onosato's career regardless.
>It's entirely possible Onosato himself felt surgery wasn't necessary at an earlier point.
and really, a lot of this has a lot to do with the medical assessment of the injury. You take professionals at their word and sometimes they are wrong. Everyone involved must've been given the impression it wasn't so serious or torn, that it would get better with rest and PT.
My own mother went through something bizarrely similar, for like 6 years different ortho told her that her shoulder wasn't so serious, just giving her regular cortisone shots. only like the 4th ortho actually had her get an MRI and they saw that same ligament was ripped to shreds.
Except Onosato isn't a woman in her 60s. He's an absolute beast of an athlete in his prime, constantly exerting himself to the limits. He's a fucking national hero Japan born Yokozuna and they knew EXACTLY when he got injured. So why are they half-assing his diagnostics? Why are they just now talking about surgery? I feel like if you're such a high risk for a tear like this they should be taking a closer look.

"a" is for azukari, which is when the bouts were too close to call before they introduced torinaoshi. "d" is for when both wrestlers are unable to continue, either due to exhaustion or injury, before they introduced a mandatory break if the bout has gone on too long. I'm assuming "o" is just sumodb's internal term for "other" since the only examples are from the feudal periods.
There was also a specific term for when both wrestlers were absent for the same bout, but this is listed as a normal absence for both.

>>262197
I mean, he needs like 12 wins to get 32 even. So very unlikely unless the sanyaku decide to take a vacation again. If he can get 10-11, he has a decent chance in September

The YDC has spoken:
(regarding Kirishima) "Next tournament, a high-level championship will be required of him. It won't be easy and it will certainly be strict, but he must deliver results no matter who the opponent is. Both his final record and the overall quality of his bouts will matter."

>>262203
So 13-2 probably won't fly unless both losses are at the hands of yokozuna.

It's all academic anyway, because Kirishima's a choke artist.

>>262203
They said the same bullshit about horse and then promoted him on the 'strength' of a weak af yusho, they'll give it to kiriSHITma on another 12 win JY because they're afraid of being accused of racism if they don't

>>262119
You need to know that Niggatame is the number one fan favorite on /xs/

>>262203
This basho really shouldnt count

>>262203
The YDC didn't say that. Asakayama-oyakata, currently the chief judge, is the one who said it. The YDC isn't part of the JSA. It's common for them to comment on the performances of other rikishi, but that's different from saying "this ozeki is up for promotion next tournament."

What the fuck? What do you even call this position? Why is he spreading so much?

>>262205
>>262210
This basho shouldn't count imo but given that it seems set in stone now that a JY is a Y equiv, it's what we gotta live with. Although, I am glad that they are adjusting the strength needed of the Y based on the JY. So the weaker the JY, the stronger the Y has to be. And honestly, I don't even think a 13-2 with losses only to the Zunas will be enough. It's gotta be 14-1 or better imo. Too many top guys were out this basho and they have two Zunas right now.

>>262211
It's still important to note, as it sets some bar for what Kiri needs to be considered by the judges for Zuna recommendation.

So, continuing on from /sp/, I created a profile on france.tv for the upcoming jungyo and the site is indeed region locked. It also asks you to turn off adblockers. Still not sure if I'll bother setting it up directly or be at the mercy of restreamers. I'd just hate to see the stream taken down in the middle of the thing and then have to look for a new one.

>>262223
>given that it seems set in stone now that a JY is a Y equiv
Not sure what you mean by this. This has been a thing since the post-Futahaguro standards were put in place. A yusho is a yusho, a jun-yusho needs to be weighed on its merits.

A 12-3 JY where the winner goes 14-1 is not the same as a 12-3 JY with a playoff loss. Yes, the lack of ozeki and yokozuna in this basho need to be taken into consideration but it's also not his fault no one around him can stay healthy.

But to erase the doubts, this is exactly why a "high-level championship" will be required, per the YDC. Most likely, that's 15-0 or 14-1. 13-2 yusho probably won't be enough in any case, unless everyone's healthy, and all the yokozuna and ozeki put in good performances, with those losses coming at the hands of previous cup winners; and even then it's iffy.

Still can't believe the JSA let Onosato kill Ichiyamamoto live on national television and only gave him a stern talking too.

Who stood out for you this basho? For me its Takahara from Futagoyama, I know he's a high school stand out but its his first year as a pro and I thought he'd be too small, too inexperienced, and not strong enough to compete in Makushita but he held his own and KK'd. I say keep an eye on him.

Yeah he's been decent. He showed some skill and isn't just going forward like a dummy but thinks of his moves. There was a match he could've won, but still great effort. I thought he'd get smashed at this rank, but I guess going to gym often paid out.

>>262348
It's crazy how some guys cannot gain shit even with their diet.

>>262349
I think Yamato simply hasn't commit to the weight gain. Going full bloatlord will basically define your body for the rest of your life, it's a big commitment. I can't imagine him sticking around much longer if he's this old and not a fatso.

>On May 24, 2026, the final day of the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, it was confirmed that Yokozuna Onosato of the Nishonoseki stable will participate in the upcoming Paris exhibition tour on June 13–14. Onosato sat out the entirety of the Summer Tournament—his first full tournament absence—after submitting a medical certificate on May 8 stating he required approximately one month of treatment for a left rotator cuff injury.

>>262386
Oh fuck.

>>262385
Since they didn't describe it as a tear, even partially, and the recovery is only a month, it's probably just tendonitis and not a big deal if he doesn't go full retard, which he obviously will since he's in Kisenosato's stable. A partial tear can be handled without surgery in a few months, but might need surgery if that doesn't work. A full tear needs surgery with at least a year of recovery.
Expect him to be intai by the end of next year because him and Kisenosato are both brain dead rock-headed morons who won't let injuries properly recover, meaning this will graduate from tendonitis to a tear.

Who's taking the Makushita crown in July? The smart money's on Asahifuji but no one's ever gone 28-0 in regulation before and he's got some beasts to get through. He only beat Mita because Mita didn't want to risk his tender ACL. Dude wasn't even supposed to be competing yet and he went 6-1.

Curious to see if Omori eats his chanko or if he wants to try his luck staying at his current physique. He was completely powerless against Asahifuji in their match.

>>262419
Omori didn't lose because of size (he's 120kg which is plenty). He lost because Asahifuji has spent 2-3 years training with Isegahama sekitori under the guidance of two Yokozuna. They call him the strongest rookie in history for a reason. I wanna see zabutons on his first loss.

>>262417
>>262419
I think Oomori needs experience more than chanko. Ryushou needs more chanko, he's same weight as Oomori, but struggles in ms joi.

Tenshouyama on the other hand, lol, he's at 175 now. Kid is Akebono 2.0 in the making.

Asahi came in after Arashifuji juryou promotion interview and asked the reports if he can now do some shiko... it's not even a week after basho, dude's crazy.

Yukata are designed to be light and easy to move in. They were summer casual wear before westernization. They're not thick formal kimono or martial arts keikogi (which themselves were derived from heavy firefighting clothes).

I think the number of tournaments should be reduced to four, one for each season. Six tournaments in a year is great financially and for the fans but it's ripping the bodies of the sumo wrestlers apart. In a sport where recruitment numbers are already historic low, sumo needs to retain it's established wrestlers even more so. Fewer tournaments means more time to heal up and recover.

>>262459
I think you're gay but Hakkaku doesn't give a fuck about that either.

>>262459
Sumo has had six honbasho a year since 1958. If modern wrestlers are incapable of handling the workload of rikishi more than 60 years ago then there's another problem with modern sumo not related to the number of basho.

We can split the recruits in 3 groups (using Futagoyama rikishi as an example):

1. recruits coming from universities who have attained decent results in sumo already like Mita
2. recruits joining sumo because they were told to try it by their families, like Tsukioka or Wakamiyabi
3. recruits who ave no prospect in life and barely finish high-school like Kouga and your average NEETs who just want to eat food, like Souga.

>Guy had zero background in ANY martial art
I'm sure I heard this about Kakuryu too and he did okay I guess.

>>262494
Kakuryu joined at 14. Even without COVID, Yarden would've been in his early 20s at best. Training a teen from scratch is normal. Training a grown man from scratch is not worth the investment.

>>262495
Lets not act like sumo is difficult, anon. Fujiryoga made it to Makuuchi on size alone and learned to belt fight in two months.

>>262496
Fujiryoga started training sumo since he was in 4th grade, not in his 20s like Yarden. The IDF can keep coping about age limits and covid and antisemitism. At the end of the day, Yarden simply never had the makings of a varsity rikishi.

>>262497
